Seeds of Life

**Seeds of Life** are extra-terrestrial entities sent by the First Ancestral Race across the galaxy to spread life on new planets. The most well known example of Seeds of Life are Adam and Lilith, both of which landed on Earth during prehistoric times during different periods.

## Origins

The Seeds of Life were developed by the First Ancestral Race, who had managed to harness both t he power of Ether and Chi. Using this newfound power, the First Ancestral Race created Mothra, The Shobijin, and Keizer Ghidorah. But many years later, and for unknown reasons, the First Ancestral Race faced an extinction level event that threatened their entire existence. In response to this cataclysmic event, they spread various Seeds of Life across the galaxy, with the intention of preserving their legacy by creating new life that utilized their genetic material. The vessels used to transport the seeds of life were enormous spheres called 'moons'. Each seed was also accompanied by a long weapon called a 'Spear of Longinus' that could be used to incapacitate & neutralize a seed if the situation called for it.

There exist two unique types of Seeds of Life: One type of Seed is called the "Fruit of Life". Entities with an S² engine possess unlimited energy and immense physical strength. Furthermore, these S² engines are exceptional at maintaining Chi over long periods of time, allowing for beings with the fruit of life to live for millions of years, even forever. The most notable example of entities with the Fruit of Life are the daikaiju, who are children of Adam, the original Fruit of Life on Earth.

The second type of Seed are those imbued with the "Fruit of Knowledge." The Fruit of Knowledge is the power of reason, and the ability to employ the scientific method to expand one's understanding and knowledge of the universe. An example of a Fruit of Knowledge Seed is Lilith; among the children of Lilith are human beings. Despite being physically weak, humans are able to use the power of science and technology to shape the world around them and construct advanced civilizations.

It is implied that any entity possessing both the Fruit of Life and the Fruit of Knowledge would have godlike capabilities, possibly similar to that of the First Ancestral Race. Due to an unspecified law set down by the First Ancestral Race, more than one Seed of Life cannot exist on the same planet. The intent of this rule is to prevent any form of life from becoming a godlike entity by acquiring both the Fruit of Life and the Fruit of Knowledge. If any planet is inhabited by more than one Seed of Life, the Lances of Longinus are meant to incapacitate all but one of them, allowing that seed to serve as the sole progenitor of life on that planet.

## Seeds of Life on Earth

In a turn of events that was unplanned by the First Ancestral Race, Earth became home to two Seeds of Life: Adam, the "Fruit of Life" Seed intended for Earth, landed in what is now Antarctica in the White Moon 4.6 billion years ago during the Hadean period. A few billion years later, Adam began creating the first ever daikaiju, the original rulers of Earth, who were born with the awesome strength & longevity of the Fruit of Life. However, the Black Moon carrying a "Fruit of Knowledge" Seed, Lilith, accidentally also collided with the Earth at what would eventually become the Hakone region of Japan. Lilith's crash landing on Earth is known as the First Impact, which wiped out the dinosaurs and forced the daikaiju underground.

The Lance of Longinus that belonged to Lilith was lost or destroyed during the collision between the Black Moon and Earth. In order to enforce the rule laid down by the First Ancestral Race, Adam was placed in suspended animation by its own Lance of Longinus. The impact of the spear split Adam's soul apart from its body- its body shrivelled up into an tiny embryo, and its soul morphed into the entity known as Amano Shiratori. This meant that Adam was denied its intended destiny: to be the progenitor of life on Earth. With Adam incapacitated, Lilith spread its blood, LCL, which served as the primordial soup of all Lilith-based life on Earth. Lilith-based life evolved over billions of years, culminating in the birth of a sentient species blessed with the Fruit of Knowledge: humanity.

Meanwhile, Adam remained in suspended animation in Antarctica for many millennia, his form now no smaller than a fetus. Over the course of human history, Adam's embryo was exploited. The Mu empire attempted to utilize its power to create their own army of daikaiju, creating the Gyaos in the process. But the Mu were inexperienced with wielding Adam's power, and the Gyaos turned on the Mu, collapsing not only their empire, but causing the bronze Age collapse in the process. In a last ditch attempt to exterminate the Gyaos, the Atlanteans uses Adam's power, this time more wisely- the outcome was Gamera's creation. Afterwards, Adam's embryo became lost to sea, but would eventually wash ashore on the coasts of ancient Japan.

During the Yayoi period of Japan, the embryo is Adam was adorned on a necklace worn by Yamato Takeru. Going by the name 'Spirit of the Wild', Adam's power was used by Yamato Takeru during times of crisis, at the cost of slowly corrupting his soul, as accessing Adam's power required vast amounts of Chi. During this time, Adam's embryo would reunite with its other half, Amano Shiratori, in the midst of Yamato's battle with demon lord Orochi. When the three beings combined (Adam, Yamato, and Shiratori), they created the all-powerful warrior called Utsuno Ikusagami.

## Seeds of Life on other planets

Its known that intergalactic species such as the Ultramen, Xiliens, Precursors, and Mysterians are spawn of other Seeds of Life with the Fruit of Knowledge.
