Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 112 Torch Race
At last.

Only the wife of the Death Giant, who was dragging the raft, remained. The Giantess Queen possessed an earth-based divine artifact, but had not yet spread her mysterious power.

Her earth-elemental artifacts, like fire, are not good at spreading.

At this moment, Anu, unable to bear seeing his wife's sorrowful expression, spoke up:
“God, why not turn my boat into a mud boat and drag it across the earth to create waterways, with mysterious tracks remaining in those mud waterways?”

"I will use boats to draw mysterious patterns on the land, circles in wheat fields, and triangles in the desert."

God saw that he was the least efficient, but did not object, because the other party expressed his loyalty to God and became his follower, "If you want to do that."

"Thank God for His blessing." The two giants couldn't help but beam with joy.

In the sky, God glanced at all the gods and, seeing that all divine creatures had found their homes, suddenly said:
"Mysterious, that's all."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Kingdom of Heaven seemed to be made whole again.

And that's how it was done.

Thus, most of the divine beings of the entire era were born from God. Light, water, wind, fire, and earth all helped spread the mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven and all submitted to God.

After the opening ceremony of the Kingdom of Heaven, the gods and guests on the Sea of ​​the Underworld began to sing and dance.

They drank and sang.

The entire dark sea was filled with laughter and joy.

The giants, clad in white bathrobes, walked through the seawater, which only reached their waists.

Meanwhile, the smaller beings sit on large ships, drifting leisurely, and toast with the giants who raise their glasses!
Although the goblet of the god of light, Rex, was only the size of a palm, the goblet of the god of fire was as large as the ship beneath the feet of the god of light.

Just then, the sea goddess said, "I personally blessed the waters of the Dark Sea beneath my feet."

“A month ago, I discovered the magic of wine-making bacteria. Water can brew fine wine, and now I have transformed this dark sea into a sea of ​​wine!”

Many gods and great magicians began to taste the ocean of fine wine and were full of praise.

“Delicious!”

"Truly a wine brewed by the gods!"

"As expected of the goddess of the sea, she has mastered the seawater and has developed various divine powers of water."

The atmosphere was jubilant.

The Ocean Goddess couldn't help but say, "This is a technique I learned from Celis, the most famous brewer among mortals. Through his yeast recipe, it has spread throughout the ocean."

"Oh? I've heard of him!"

"I've also tasted his fine wine, and that day I had a rare, wonderful dream!"

The gods were delighted and summoned Celeste, the winemaker in charge of preparing the wine for the banquet.

The disheveled old man, Seris, was overjoyed, trembling with excitement. Looking at the giant gods bathing on the ship's deck, he shouted to the sky, "Greetings, great gods! Thank you for tasting the fine wine brewed by a mortal like myself!"

This would be the highest honor he could receive in the brewing industry.

I, a mere mortal on earth, brew wine for the noble gods.

Even the gods of heaven praised him and learned the art of brewing from him, a man who lived on earth.

My future will probably have to be written in poems.

As a mortal, my future reputation will probably be second only to that of another mortal, the heroine Rella who quelled the storm!

At the banquet, some people were also discussing the Eucharist.

Vulcan exclaimed excitedly, "The Holy Body of God may not be able to be passed down through the bloodline and may not be widely available, but its blessings for the times are by no means diminished!"

The water god smiled gently: "Yes, God's body is very special. It can even divide into individual organs of saints, which fly out of heaven every day and transform into the sun, moon, clouds, gales, and torches to spread mystery to the earth."

They all thought it was outrageous.

Isn't the Holy Body all about perfect fusion?
Back then, when the last heart of the elephant thorax failed to fuse, something terrible almost happened.

This demonstrates how important fusion and the degree of harmony between the unified whole are to a sacred body.

But now?

It can split off at will!

Torn apart.

It overturned their conventional values ​​and beliefs; it was a truly mythical method!

Mysterious, truly mysterious.

They may never understand its structure and principles, even in their entire lives.

The God of Light uttered a sentence, "This way of spreading mystery is far better than the nodes of our various earthly churches before."

"Of course, after all, we are from the gods, and he is the true king. He is truly mysterious beyond measure," the god of fire exclaimed repeatedly.

"Mother, I can already foresee that in the future, all sorts of newly born fairies will be everywhere," Thetis, as the daughter of the sea, couldn't help but exclaim.

The ocean goddess Varuna looked at her daughter and said, "How are you doing in the Grand Duke's mansion after you became Rella's disciple? You are my daughter with the most mysterious talent. Perhaps after I die, you will be the new ocean goddess."

Thetis cried out, “Mother can’t possibly be dead! Don’t say such sad things.”

They talked and talked, dreaming about the future, filled with joy.

As times have progressed, the number of gods has increased, and now a pantheon has been formed.

God connected them all.

The changes that will occur in the future are beyond their imagination.

Gradually, amidst their cheerful conversations, the royal families of the five races set aside their prejudices and established new friendships.

They drank like this for half a month, gradually becoming tipsy, and their relationship grew better and better.

Suddenly, Agni, the straightforward and generous god of fire, suggested, "Why don't we start the first competition to raise the sacred flame now?"

The God of Light was also very interested: "We, as gods, are participating in a competition? How interesting! It's just the right time for us gods to be ranked in terms of strength and weakness." "Then what will we compete in? Running?" The Water God, Varuna, asked gently.

"No, let's have a chariot race! How about the butterfly-cage sedan chair model?"

The God of Light said, "Using each city as a node, run along the way, holding high the torch containing the mysterious sacred fire, starting from the east of the Tower of Babel and returning from the west, running a circle around this continent beneath our feet, and see who reaches the finish line first!"

"Throughout the process, you must protect the Olympic torch in your hands. If the torch goes out, even if you reach the finish line, the race is lost."

"Can we attack other people's torches?"

"You are not allowed to attack the body, but you can attack the torch, or you can use a trick to extinguish the opponent's torch."

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

They drank until they were tipsy and started a competition.

First, they began to build and select their own chariots, some that flew in the sky and some that sailed on the ground, each with its own characteristics.

Heaven.

Liu Jun, acting as God, quietly watched the farce unfold at the banquet, finding it quite interesting: "These guys have gone mad from drinking."

"It would probably take them at least several months, or even several years, to complete one lap!"

The metal box said, "Since this is the first competition of the gods, and the Tower of Babel is the starting and ending point, why don't we prepare the podium at the finish line in advance while they are running?"

Liu Jun looked at the metal box that seemed determined to stir up trouble, and asked, "So, what do you want to do?"

"I want to be the award box," the metal box shouted. "As for the prizes, what do you think would be best?"

Liu Jun was at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.

This is to make them provide the prizes themselves.

But their antics are quite amusing.

As the host and leader of the gods, having approved this sacred flame competition, I should prepare three prizes for the top three winners.

So, what would be a good prize?
After just a moment's thought, Liu Jun had his answer.

Of course it is:
mystery.

After all, isn't the defining characteristic of God mystery?

"Bring three metal trophies."

Liu Jun said calmly, "I will imbue them with ample [mystery], and this trophy will be an excellent prototype for divine artifacts, enough for the gods to craft their weapons."

This is equivalent to giving a metal ingot a powerful spirit!
As for what they use this metal ingot with its spirit to forge, that's none of my business.

soon.

The metal box brought out three trophies and exclaimed excitedly, "Looks like I'm going to have someone like me! Someone with a high concentration of [mystery] just like me!"

Liu Jun ignored him and began to fill it with mysterious power.

Fortunately, Liu Jun has low energy expenditure and sufficient physical strength.

Otherwise, with this high-intensity output, his internal energy would probably be completely depleted.

a week later.

Liu Juncai filled these three trophies in heaven.

The metal box kept whispering to the three trophies: "Hey, I'm your big brother, you know?"

"Ah! Your future is bright, for you are destined to be forged into weapons of the gods!"

"By the way, my task of containing the divine object in this box is complete. God has completely integrated [mystery] into his body. I should be forged into a handsome sword of God, not a strange box."

Liu Jun ignored its incessant chatter.

This is a self-suggestion; it wants to become handsome and turn into a weapon.

But I couldn't be bothered with him; the box was fine enough.

Metal bricks can be used to smash people; they are both powerful and heavy.

After completing the three trophies, and listening to the constant stream of news from the competition on the front lines, he felt a mix of emotions:

"They're pretty fast."

"Furthermore, various traps were set in preparation to extinguish the torch in the opponent's hands."

He was fairly satisfied with this Heavenly Kingdom ceremony.

Most importantly, by using the Holy Body to create himself, he shocks and amazes the followers below, thus making them thoroughly "swear" allegiance to him.

Liu Jun couldn't help but ponder, "Now I understand what Xiang Tuomo was carrying back then."

"After the death of Dielu Xin, the emperor of the Butterfly Clan also died of his heart. Only the lingering shadow of the responsibility of the emperor of the Butterfly Clan remained in the era."

A hint of emotion flashed across his face.
"When we stand in this position, our destiny is no longer in our own hands. We must be a benchmark of an era and the backbone of a civilization."

"To live up to the expectations of the people, we need to have enough momentum to give people confidence."

Being a god-king of an era is not an easy task.

You must subdue the gods below!

If this heavenly ceremony is conducted in an ordinary manner and nothing new is presented, then...

Although the gods below did not say it, they would have some reservations in their hearts.

Fortunately, I did a pretty good job.
