Mushroom Man

"Wake up, my fellow countrymen!"

"We struggle at the bottom of society our whole lives, and even if we fight for it our whole lives, all we can get in return is a dilapidated house made of a few stones."

"Why should we be born to stay at the bottom? Why should we have no rest and only be able to work non-stop? Why should we be ridiculed by those above us?"

"We are just ordinary people, and although our strength is insignificant, we possess a heart that never gives up and is unwilling to be ordinary."

"We can't go on like this anymore. We must overcome life, overcome poverty, and break free from the bottom!"

"Wake up, you who refuse to endure hunger and cold, and who refuse to let your descendants be trapped in the lowest of the low!"

"We must stand up and build a new ladder with our blood and flesh!"

"Only by climbing out of poverty can we completely escape from hardship and the burdens of life!"

The petty man raised his arms and shouted, trying his best to persuade his fellow countrymen.

The little people were deeply moved and their blood boiled when they heard his words.

These are ordinary people, perhaps unremarkable, perhaps oppressed, perhaps unknown to anyone.

But few people know that these people from the bottom of society all have a spirit of never giving up and never being content with mediocrity.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have persisted for so long in this most bitter and tiring bottom class, generation after generation, for so long.

They just lack a leader, they lack a direction.

Now this leader has appeared and pointed out the direction to break out of the bottom.

In an instant, without exception, countless little people brought their families and chose to follow their leader.

The petty man, who was given the title of leader, looked up at the sun and moon hanging high in the sky, his eyes filled with raging fire.

He led the little people, braving the winds of life, as they struggled to move forward at the bottom of society.

Just then, two mushrooms sprouted out and blocked the little people.

“Little people, we are poverty and suffering.”

"You cannot overcome life, nor can you escape the bottom of society."

"This road is destined to be full of poverty; we are the insurmountable mountain on the road to success."

After the two mushrooms finished speaking, they each transformed into high mountains, blocking the way.

Seeing this, the leader of the tribesmen looked at his people and shouted loudly, "We live at the bottom of society, and we are in contact with poverty and suffering every moment."

“They are nothing to be afraid of. Only by overcoming poverty and hardship can we embark on the road to success, reach the ordinary steps, and leave the bottom.”

"Perhaps our strength is small, but as long as we persevere, we will definitely be able to overcome these two mountains."

"If we fall, our descendants will still live on."

"If we persevere day after day, we can move even mountains."

"The descendants will be endless, but the mountain will not grow any bigger. Why should it not be leveled?"

Upon hearing this, the little people all responded.

When they were thirsty, they boiled snow for water; when they were hungry, they ate tree bark.

Everyone contributes their own insignificant strength to embark on the road to success.

They moved the stones away one by one, turning the high mountains into low ones, until they disappeared completely.

They endured countless hardships and finally saw the road to success.

But once the first group of scoundrels embarked on the road to success, they seemed to have become completely different people, and instead blocked the rest of their clansmen.

Success can make people lose themselves and forget their original aspirations.

They embarked on the road to success, not wanting their efforts to be cheap, so they began to hinder those who followed them from achieving success.

The leader of the villains saw all of this and felt deeply pained.

"My compatriots, they have changed. They have forgotten our goals and betrayed our ideals."

"They have been successfully assimilated and become lackeys of the upper class." "They are no longer just insignificant people like us; they are our enemies, and we must defeat everything that stands in our way!"

As the leader of the tribes spoke, he led his people into battle against their former brethren.

However, his former compatriots, now standing on the road to success, have grown taller and stronger.

In contrast, the petty people were all skin and bones, as insignificant as ants, and were no match for these successful people at all.

Just then, a mushroom jumped out and offered its help to the little leader.

"Little man, I am Unity Mushroom."

“Your spirit touched me, so I felt I should help you.”

"As long as you can unite all forces that can be united, then there is nothing that is invincible."

With the help of the Unity Mushroom, the little people united as one, working together with one heart and one mind.

With the power of unity, even the most glamorous and decadent path to success cannot corrupt their hearts.

Those petty people who became lackeys of the upper class were all defeated by the united group of petty people.

The power of unity is boundless; even the strongest and most powerful person fears the power of the masses.

The little people, full of high morale, marched on the road to success and finally arrived at a cliff.

And the name of this cliff is the Ordinary Stairs.

Only by climbing the ordinary steps can one reach the upper levels and escape the lower levels.

The little people were very excited and all wanted to climb the ordinary steps.

But the stones on the cliff face have all had their edges smoothed out by life, becoming perfectly smooth.

They couldn't catch it no matter how hard they tried, and they couldn't climb up it no matter how hard they tried.

But along the way, the will to not be ordinary has long been etched into their bones.

They never thought of giving up, climbing again and again, failing again and again.

This will only make these petty people more determined, and one day they will overcome mediocrity just as they overcame poverty and hardship...

……

"So ordinary..."

"The petty people of the past were trapped at the bottom, but it was precisely because they were unwilling to be ordinary that they became the Chaotic Ancient Celestial Venerable."

"The will to not be ordinary has long been etched into the bones of a petty person."

"It's quite interesting that there are still a group of ordinary people in the world who are content with mediocrity these days..."

Wu Liang raised an eyebrow slightly, showing considerable interest in this.

He was already looking forward to what surprises and gains he would get from capturing those villains.

However, before that, he still needs to take care of the matter on Chaotic Star Island.

He will have to stay on Chaotic Star Island for at least another month.

During this month, Wu Liang naturally couldn't be idle; he should find something to do.

"Hmm... Let's take advantage of this month to refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom and repair the Demon Suppression Tower."

"I will be setting sail in a month."

"If we can have the Demon Suppression Tower to protect us, we should be able to easily suppress any dangers we encounter along the way."

"To refine the Righteousness Mushroom, I need to take advantage of the fickle nature of human hearts and temporarily turn me into a good person."

"The impact of this is unpredictable, and we must prepare for it well in advance..."

Upon thinking of this, Wu Liang nodded slightly, and his mind immediately stirred.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the fourth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower... (End of Chapter)
