Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi
Chapter 392 - 292: Combat Mode
Wang Ye pondered over it.
The only explanation he could think of was that his genes had diverged from those of humans.
Therefore, on this Earth, there probably were no real "kin" left for him.
With Wang Ye’s current advanced level of evolution,
he could confidently say,
the genetic gap between ordinary humans and himself
was even larger than the gap between ordinary humans and Komodo dragons.
Would a normal person have desires towards a Komodo dragon?
Of course, some abnormal individuals are excluded.
However, now Wang Ye has lost interest not only in women.
He even had no need for normal self-comforting desires.
According to research, humans are among the few creatures that derive pleasure from it. They are also among the few that feel happiness and pleasure from it, with the so-called climax being a unique physiological mechanism in humans.
Unlike humans, this stage is accompanied by pain for most creatures. Many people might often hear the painful wailing of wild cats in their neighborhoods at night, similar to the sound of a baby crying. In reality, this is a normal physiological phenomenon for wild cats, which typically lasts only a few days, occurring in certain seasons, during which their sexual organs become exceptionally swollen, increasing secretions, causing them considerable pain.
Moreover, the process is also very painful for these creatures. Taking cats as an example, if one observes their habits closely, it would be found that the mating process is actually not enjoyable. When a male cat detects signals from a female cat in heat, it quickly approaches and lightly bites the skin on the female cat’s neck, then straddles her back.
The male cat continuously adjusts his position until successful, during which his hind legs rhythmically tap. Once successful, the female cat often vocalizes out of discomfort due to the small barbs on the male cat’s anatomy, which injure the female cat during the process, and afterward, the male cat sometimes has to avoid the potential attacks from the female cat.
Thus, they differ significantly from humans on both physiological and emotional levels.
Compared to the need for happiness, it’s more like a painful burden.
Typically, the more advanced a creature is, the lower the degree of pain in this behavior,
and the more they can derive pleasure from it.
Wang Ye’s level of evolution has now become increasingly advanced,
many times higher than the so-called advanced creatures—humans,
and theoretically, he should find it easier to derive pleasure from such behaviors,
and as his physique continues to strengthen,
the frequency and intensity of such behaviors should also be reinforced.
But now it seems he has completely lost such worldly desires.
After a brief reflection, Wang Ye came to understand the answer to this question. It is that his brain development is now so advanced that he can easily control these physiological instinctual needs.
Ultimately, humans are still creatures controlled by hormones; all desires for affection, money, and power stem from the manipulations of hormones within the body. Without hormone interference, any human desire would vanish, including the desire for money.
Some people often experience periods where they become dispassionate and enter a low-desire state similar to a Saint; this state is often referred to as "Wise One mode." This so-called "Wise One mode" is mostly a manifestation of the body’s organs entering a "fatigue recovery period" after a large secretion of hormones, resulting in a decrease in hormone levels and a loss of desire for anything.
And now, Wang Ye’s hormone secretion can be completely controlled by the central nervous system, that is, through thought; he intentionally reduces any unnecessary hormone secretion to the minimum. This should be the correct explanation for his loss of desire towards women. Similarly, as long as Wang Ye raises his testosterone levels, he should also be able to regain some desires.
Given his current level of brain development, controlling the increase in testosterone levels is not difficult.
In fact, even ordinary people can freely control the levels of testosterone in their body. The most common method is exercising; as the body’s muscle mass increases, the testosterone levels within the body will gradually rise, even causing the testes to grow larger.
Additionally, thoughts can temporarily elevate hormone levels. When malicious thoughts arise, hormone levels in the body briefly spike to a peak.
Stretching out one’s arms to appear larger can also temporarily increase hormone levels. This is an instinct engraved in human genetics. When a creature tries to make itself appear larger, it indicates encountering a formidable enemy, and testosterone can quickly boost combat ability, so when a person stretches, they can clearly feel the hormone level fluctuations within their body.
However, these are passive and not directly controlled by thoughts, but indirectly controlled by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, which act as the heads of the neuroendocrine system, governing the body’s endocrine system. However, Wang Ye’s developed brain enables him to directly control the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to adjust the body’s hormone secretion through thought. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Upon thinking of this, Wang Ye became intrigued.
Just as he had nothing to do today, he decided to test at what level his sexual functions have evolved. With a slight mental impulse, his central nervous system sent signals to his organs, instantly elevating his body’s testosterone levels to several times the average human.
In an instant, Wang Ye’s breath became heavy and hot, his cheeks flushed with blood red. His muscles swelled within a few seconds, and his hair stood on end, secreting a layer of sweat and releasing pheromones, emitting a faintly pungent odor, making him look as if a game character had activated an enraged skill similar to a bloodlust rage.
