Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 122 The Death of the God of Light, A New Calamity
Upon hearing this, Cupid said no more.

Anyway, he is an infant, in a unique state of life.

They are weak, unable to cultivate, yet they are immortal, relying on their own brains for sustenance.

After that day, Rella stopped traveling on earth to search for the remnants of the Demon King and instead settled down in heaven again.

I became very good friends with these child angels.

Days passed by, until one day, a piece of news shattered the peace.

"The God of Light has been assassinated and is on the verge of death."

The Butterfly Clan, 1281.

Holy Empire.

The God of Light, Rex, was suddenly poisoned.

It turned out that the four candidates for the Wind God joined forces to secretly poison this one with the free wind, severely injuring him.

"Hahaha!"

"Rix, you are about to die. This is the poison of the plague, mixed with the darkness of corruption!"

“God’s followers are not the true God. You have only used divine objects to open your wisdom, and made these objects your friends, obeying your commands and integrating them into your bodies.”

"You, with the power of gods, are still just fragile mortals!"

At some point, the four candidates for wind god, due to greed and strife, developed flaws and were targeted by the plague demon king, who used various means to corrupt them, secretly turning them into evil gods.

After this sneak attack, the four wind gods quickly left and disappeared.

The whole world was shocked on this day.

The remnants of the Demon King have returned with renewed force.

Fortunately, the Demon King's Box was not stolen, and the enemy's plan did not succeed completely.

However, news that the God of Light was nearing his end also spread throughout the world.

"How is that possible? The God of Light is in his prime. Even without the lifespan of a god, a mortal at the fourth level would have enough lifespan to live for several thousand years."

"I heard that this severe injury damaged its core, and the other side has developed a magical potion specifically to counteract the poison."

"The God of Light is dying."

If Rex is truly the embodiment of the God of Light, then he is not afraid of these toxins at all.

but.

He was still essentially a mortal, so he had a weakness.

Human beings are sometimes so easily killed.

That is, in that year.

Rella, filled with shock and anger, descended from heaven and quickly returned to the Holy Empire, where she saw her brother, whose face was weathered and radiant with decay. "I never imagined that you would leave before me."

Lying in his hospital bed, Rex just laughed heartily: "I never imagined the world could be so interesting."

Back then, he took a gamble, went all out, and won; the glory came so suddenly.

But now, death comes so suddenly.

Even he never imagined that he would end up in such an inglorious manner.

If my father is like this, will I be like him too?

"Reality isn't a fairy tale; sometimes death comes just like that." He showed no sadness, but instead explained the whole process with a smile:

"I knew from the beginning that the hidden artifact would target me."

"I can't guess its divine nature, and I have no information about the other party. Once it grows up, it might catch me off guard, and I'm afraid I'll be in trouble."

"So I've been on guard all these years, but I still can't prevent it."

Rex sighed; things were as he'd guessed. "It's poison! It's a god that controls toxins and infection. If it were any other divine being, I might not be afraid of it, but it is."

Toxins are so hard to guard against.

The other party has combined countless toxins; this is a deadly poison capable of killing even gods.

"The war between light and darkness has only just begun. I killed their first generation of demon kings, and they killed my generation of god of light."

"The era of interplay and struggle between light and darkness has just begun."

Rex said, "Be careful of the poison, and there's already a candidate for the next God of Light. You should try your best to train him."

"The other party has been hiding for so many years, they have probably already developed a real deadly poison. An unknown plague is about to descend upon this land. Be careful!"

"And what about you?" Rella cried.

"I am about to die now."

Rex said, "I feel like the toxins are using my body as a breeding ground, mutating and getting stronger. I can't let it continue like this, and there's also the shadow power of the Primordial Demon King in it, corrupting me."

“I will gradually become evil and become the first fallen god of light.”

Rex knew he had to die.

Otherwise, he would become a terrifying demon and descend upon the world.

“I understand.” Rella’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness. “If this is your choice.”

Soon, the news of the impending fall of the God of Light was confirmed by his sister, the heroine Rella, and spread throughout the world.

"This is impossible!"

"He was only seriously injured before, how could he die so suddenly?"

"Yes, that is the God of Light, the king of the entire earth, and the disciple of God!"

People of all races thought it was a rumor and didn't believe it.

The God of Light is the king of this era. Although his brilliance is overshadowed by the most dazzling God, no one can deny his power.

Holy Empire.

Liu Jun walked slowly over, looking at Rex who was barely clinging to life, his heart filled with countless emotions.

Life is so fragile.

Even though his disciple had not underestimated anyone, he was still ambushed.

“Rex, I can ask the immortal god to lock in your current state of life.” God paused.

If it weren't for his disciple Rex, but an unfamiliar emperor, he wouldn't have bothered. The stronger the life form, the greater the cost of locking down its state!

Rex, a fourth-tier powerhouse.
Liu Jun himself was essentially only a fourth-order being.

Locking down the state of a powerhouse of the same level and constantly maintaining this level of energy consumption is putting a lot of pressure on him!

To know.

Locking up those weak infants who have no fighting ability and are even weaker than ordinary people is the most cost-effective option.

Rex sighed, "God, is it a state of eternal existence similar to your divine body?"

God said, “Yes.”

Rex said with great distress, "If I could, one year, I only need one year."

“I am in immense pain from the poisoning. Locking this pain in will torment me forever, which is not good for me. A year is enough for me to deal with the rest and fulfill my last wish.”

"Besides, my life has been glorious enough."

Liu Jun respected the other party's opinion.

Not everyone wants to live a life of mere survival.

The compatibility of light is related to being upright and kind. Rex lived an upright life and naturally had no intention of prolonging his life.

Rex sighed:
"God, I will have finished dealing with the affairs of the Empire in three months. Could you take me on one last journey? I want to leave the Empire and travel with my siblings and me, the three of us, along with the metal box."

He never lived his life for himself.

I miss those happy times from my childhood.

"it is good."

God stretched out his hand, and radiance enveloped his ailing body. "I have the divine power lent to me by the immortal gods, enough to lock in the state of my body and prevent the toxins in your body from continuing to infect."

Liu Jun knew that Rex had always wanted to go out and do his own thing.

Rella, standing beside him, remained silent. She had just emerged from the shadows and was in high spirits, her mindset having improved. But now, despair enveloped her once again.

This time, my brother died.

Liu Jun didn't speak. Three months later, he gathered everyone together.

Rella and Rex, one on the left and one on the right, along with the metal box floating in the sky, embarked on their journey.

"It's good to go out and have some fun. When you were little, didn't you say you wanted to see the end of the ocean, the stars in the sky, and what was hidden beneath the endless earth? Go and see them all."

The three of them left, departing from the prosperous Holy Empire.

Over the next few months, they traveled to towns of various races and encountered many interesting people and things.

at first.

Rella wakes up with dark circles under her eyes every day and can't sleep at all; she's in a lot of pain.

Gradually, on the road.

They saw the talking magic mirror and the singing crystal boots. Amidst the laughter and joy of Rella and her brother, it was as if they had returned to their innocent and carefree childhood.

She gradually came to terms with it and began to accept everything: "Just like what Thoth said, in the long run we are all dust. He will leave, and so will I. He is just one step ahead of me."

On their journey, they saw the plague, which had already begun to spread quietly.

Then, they began their journey into the starry sky.

Originally, there was no such data in the world.

However, after Zhang Baixin brought a large amount of confidential data on the sky and the earth, star maps in this area were also established.

They flew into the atmosphere and looked at the stars.

They would never have been able to enter space, so far away from their bodies.

Because the soul decays.

But their immortality and immutability locked away their souls, giving them the possibility of consciousness traveling to the sun.

After flying for some time, they saw a sun, but it was as small as Earth in Liu Jun's previous life.

"Can such a small sun really provide heat to the huge world beneath our feet?" Rella looked at the sun with curiosity.

The ratio of the sun to the earth in this world is equivalent to the exchange of areas in a previous life.

Rex analyzed:

"Deep beneath the earth where we live, there may be a larger sun at its core, providing us with heat energy."

Rex sighed softly:
"If one day, I hope that the true God of Light will dwell on this sun and build a palace there, no, God will also dwell here and build a kingdom on the sun."

"You might see it."

God whispered, "Angels, a new heavenly paradise will be built here on the sun. By the way, where would you like to be buried?"

“This sun is just fine.” Rex smiled. “Teacher, I’m already very happy that you were with me in the last moment.”

He turned to look at his sister, without sadness or pain:
“Rella, I thought you would leave before me, but I never expected it to turn out like this.”

"However, what is most exciting about the times is that they are not static and all sorts of unexpected events can occur."

"I have lived for five or six hundred years since I was a little angel prince, and I have become the God of Light. That is enough. I am very happy."

"I hope you'll be happier, Rella."

He looked at God with some anticipation, but said nothing and did not care about parting.

In his final moments, Rex willingly threw himself into the flames, choosing to die amidst endless light.

Liu Jun remained silent as he watched Rex leave.

Another of his disciples has left.

Perhaps in the future, I will reduce the frequency of taking in disciples.

"It's time to get down to business."

On that same day, a cold glint flashed across Rella's face. "The next disaster? It seems that after the Wind Disaster, I will still be the one to lead the charge for the second one."

At this moment, she completely relaxed, understood something, and a resolute fighting spirit flashed in her eyes.

She suddenly broke through to the fourth level, becoming the first mortal on earth to enter that realm without becoming a god.

The mortal Valkyrie has once again embarked on a journey to slay the gods.
