The Divine Dissimulation [Complete]

Chapter 23 The Zetans Reach a Technological Singularity.

In the centre of the Milky Way galaxy, there was once an ancient alien race called the Zetans. The Zetans were unique species which had extremely long lifespans, and they had the technology to change the DNA of an individual instantaneously so they could adapt to living on most planets Their weakness was that their exceptionally long lives also made them the reproduce very slowly where the average Zetans only had one child every 200 years. This weakness stopped them from spreading all over the galaxy.

100,000 years ago, the Zetans reached a technological singularity when they discovered the Divine Dimension. The discovery of the Divine Dimension was kept a secret for most Zetans, and it was only known and used by the small elite of the species. They used the timelessness of the Divine Dimension to explore the further reaches of the galaxy, and they found Earth. The Zetan technology opened interdimensional portals that allowed them to move physically into the Divine Dimension.

The Zetan leaders marvelled at the beauty of Earth, and they decided to leave their mark on the world. Since Earth was too far away from Zetan territory to colonise using conventional travel options, and the Zetan leaders had vowed to keep the technology secret they decided to leave their mark on the planet by altering one species in their image.  After vivid discussions, they agreed to alter the human genome to grant humans superior intellect and awareness. The Zetan chose to alter humanity, as human reminded them about themselves.  The Zetan altered humanity by tripling the size of the human brain, which gave humans heightened intelligence and awareness compared to other species on Earth. Pleased with their work the Zetans left Earth to move on to the other planets of the Milky Way.
