Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 125 The Encounter Between the Demon King and God
Southern part of Hell.

In a noble manor.

"Kneel down! You unfilial child, you stole your fiancée's ruby ​​necklace from the ball, and you still won't admit it?"

An angry shout rang out.

A middle-aged man in a black tuxedo, his face contorted with rage, was staring at a pale young man kneeling before him.

The middle-aged man had large black demon wings behind him, exuding an imposing aura.
"How can the Lasi family hold their heads high after you steal from your fiancée like this?"

The pale young man, Goliath, was the son-in-law of this family. Because of his bravery and strength, he was valued by the head of the family and entered into a marriage agreement with his daughter.

But his fiancée Anna was a vicious and wicked woman who looked down on him as her fiancé and framed him for stealing the ruby ​​necklace.

Anna also fanned the flames from the sidelines:

“I don’t blame Goliath. It’s just a ruby ​​necklace. He will be my husband sooner or later, and everything in our family will belong to him.”

"I wouldn't blame you for stealing the other necklaces to gamble with, but that ruby ​​necklace, I was going to take to the ball."

Anna started to cry as she said this.

"Scum!"

The great demon lord, Silas, took out a black bone whip and lashed it fiercely at Goliath.
"I'll beat you to death today!"

Thump, thump.

The whip lashed Goliath repeatedly, leaving bloody welts.

Goliath was whipped until his face was contorted in pain, but in his heart he thought:

"That's about it. I never thought that silly teacher in the capital would actually pacify the world for me and remove all obstacles."

"I've endured ten years; it's time to go back to being the Demon King."

A thought struck him, and he looked at the father in front of him.

He no longer had the energy to play this boring game of pretend with them.

He endured the pain and absorbed the resentment, merely to further enhance his connection with the shadow.

Pain and resentment have raised his compatibility from 94 to 95.

The next moment, he swayed and easily dodged his father's attack. Looking at his mother, who was watching coldly from the side, and his hypocritical fiancée, he suddenly felt that everything was so boring.

Bang!
The father was sent flying backwards.

None of the nobles in the family expected Goliath to rebel, and they were all momentarily stunned.

Anna, the fiancée, was the first to react and screamed:
"Damn Goliath, you stole my necklace and attacked my father! You shouldn't be living in the storeroom; you should be living in the water dungeon where slaves are held!"

"It's noisy."

Goliath hated his scheming, manipulative fiancée and slapped her to the ground.

"How dare you!" The father was about to stand up again.

"Kneel down, I have something to tell you."

As Goliath exhaled, the entire sky instantly changed, turning gloomy and overcast.

The world seemed to be covered by a realm of darkness.

The shadows beneath their feet became increasingly distorted, revealing scarlet, savage pupils, as if the shadows were their true forms.

Those shadows were none other than Goliath's shadow guards.

Pfft!
They all simultaneously forced Goliath's family members to kneel down, respectfully saying, "Your Majesty, you have finally summoned us."

All the family members trembled as they watched their illegitimate son, whom they had always allowed to be insulted, unleash terrifying, demonic powers. Their eyes widened in disbelief.

king?
Is he the Demon King?

How can it be!

Didn't the Demon King say that he indulged in pleasure and cowardice in the capital and never went out to fight?

and many more.

He never leaves the capital; perhaps the king there is merely a figurehead.

He is hiding something.

He even schemed against his mentor, the Plague Demon Lilith, trying to trick her into expanding his territory.
They trembled, feeling as if they had been drawn into a terrible conspiracy.

"Wait, we're family!" Anna suddenly exclaimed. "I'm the future Demon Queen!"

Wow!
"Since they are future family, they should help me out."

As they spoke, the shadow beneath their feet seemed to transform into an endless black hole, devouring their flesh and dissolving their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, the family members were gone.

But not enough.

He walked out of the manor and looked at the maids and servants.

"No, Goliath, you are so kind!"

"I even helped you, I'm innocent! I shared half of my food with you."

"Why, why? The story says that the maid helped the abused child, and he eventually became a hero and married the beautiful and hardworking maid."

His hands did not stop.

They killed all life, including tamed mounts and innocent visitors.

His eyes remained unchanged, filled only with endless indifference and composure, yet also hinted at a touch of madness and pleasure as he laughed maniacally.

It's terrifying.

This is the true nature of a demon king.

"It's almost time."

Goliath gently clenched his fist, and countless shadows transformed into black fish that converged, making the shadow behind him even darker and more inky.

Over the years, he has been deceiving his teachers.

That Lilith thought it was her own scheme.

They plotted against the God of Light.

Resisting the army of heroine Rella
Actually, it was all his own suggestion that led Lilith to believe it was his idea.

"That's true. If she were really smart and cunning enough, how could she have been captured by the first Demon King?"

Goliath said calmly.

He is cunning and greedy.

This is the real demon king.

The more a person resonates with this shadowy deity, the more cunning, cruel, and treacherous they become. How could they possibly be a fool?
He was indeed timid.

But it wasn't the kind of cowardly timidity; his timidity manifested in hiding his true identity, in his fear of death and his cherishing of life.

Having schemed against God's disciple, the God of Light, will God personally take action?

Not sure!
And those demons under his command, each one of them wanted him dead. Would they assassinate him and seize his position as Demon King?

This is also a potential problem.

His entry into the capital will inevitably be fraught with danger.

So he had already planned it out.

He left behind a shadowy, controlled clone to attract hatred and act arrogantly in the heart of Shanghai, leaving all the risks to his teacher, Lilith.

Let's see if we get assassinated!

Furthermore, he could let his beloved teacher pave the way for him, while he could simply hide in the shadows, continue to digest the divine artifact, and study shadow magic.

"I didn't expect that I didn't need to hide at all?? I'm safe as the Demon King in the capital after all. Are they just too kind?"

He revealed a sinister, strange smile. "No wonder they can't be demon kings." "That's about it, it's time for me to make my appearance."

A hint of cruelty flashed in Goliath's eyes. "Teacher Lilith is utterly foolish, only thinking of becoming God's servant and corrupting Him?"

"That's absolutely ridiculous!"

"This is a hidden danger in itself."

"Killing God and finding a way to become mystery itself is the true path to heaven!"

Greed flashed in his eyes.

How could a true demon king possibly submit to other powerful beings?
"The fifth level. Once I reach that level, even God might not be unable to kill me."

The Demon King Goliath revealed a cold smile.

"For now, let's give that silly woman another hint: go and test God."

He knew that Lilith, that silly woman, harbored a ridiculous and unrealistic dream: to have ideas about God.

Being love-struck, how foolish is that?

God doesn't even care about Rella, so why would he care about you, you damned woman?

He quietly vanished as a shadow, and began to ponder this magnificent land.

“Cultivation in this world can perhaps be divided into magic and realms.”

"Magic only increases the chances of winning a fight; it's a means of protection. True power lies in one's realm."

He seemed lost in thought; as the demon king of his era, his goals were even higher.

He wants to break through the legendary fifth-order realm and become the strongest king in the world.

Even the mysterious God, he will trample under his feet!
Liu Jun walked across the land carrying the metal box.

The city streets were dilapidated and corrupted, corroded by an unknown slime and dark red blood.

The whole world seemed to have returned to the most primitive and savage tribal era.

"What an impolite bunch of people."

God's Box was very dissatisfied and complained, "They're lazy, greedy, and unwilling to build their home any better."

"They also had slavery, and all they knew was how to exploit little devils to work as child laborers."

They saw on the street that the round little angels had long since been corrupted into little devils, their round bodies holding steel forks, hopping and skipping as they worked hard.

In this era, slavery was rampant, exploiting their labor.

However, with the emergence of shadow magic, various new systems have appeared.

A brand new creature—the Shadow Fiend—has begun to appear on this land.

It is a unique dark fairy, a product of the combination of the Shadow Demon King and mystery.

The times are changing dramatically, revealing unprecedented potential.

"God, are you just going to let them run rampant like this?"

The metal box finally asked, "Hell has descended, the human world has become filthy, and your kind people have all been turned into demons."

In his view, God should step in and help Rella win this battle decisively, avenging the God of Light, Rex!
Instead of letting them choose to leave this land.

“God, the whole earth is corrupted; it is time to destroy the world,” the metal box continued.

God slowly shook his head: "Why?"

God's Box was puzzled: "Why? They're just that evil!"

God said, "What exists is reasonable, and evil also has its value in existing."

The Box of God remains incomprehensible.

God suddenly stopped by the roadside and said softly, "Whether this era should exist or not, it's easier to find the answer by talking to the people in this era."

"If you are filled with resentment in heaven, you will easily be blinded by hatred."

God is walking on this earth.

Hell is also his domain.

In a bar in Greenfield, God saw a pale, weary young man.

The pale young man stared intently at the cloaked traveler, his face flashing with shock, fear, and complexity before finally settling into calm.

"Friend, would you like to sit down and have a drink?" the young man suddenly said.

Liu Jun nodded and sat down.

The young man smiled and asked, "What is your view on this era?"

Liu Jun smiled and said, "Let me share my opinion, and you share yours."

"Great! That's fair!"

The pale-faced youth smiled slightly: "So what's your opinion? This era is evil. Do you think God will destroy it?"

God's Box paused, taken aback.

God just said that we should ask the people of this era for their opinions.

But how come it's such a coincidence now?
Why are people from this era so proactive in asking this question?

However, it also became excited and couldn't help but look at this God, wanting to see his explanation for why he didn't help Rella.

Rex's death was sudden; perhaps there was no way to save him.

But Rella's battle could have helped her win and avenge Rex.

"Everyone dies, whether they are good or bad."

God sat back in the Green Bar, his third time back.

This is the starting point of God Livy; each Greenfield is different, and the times change, bringing forth different colors.

Have you read the story of Ganesha?

God seemed to recall the past:

"After Elephant Monk was resurrected, he was not saddened to see his queen, the Feetless Bird, die, because he knew that everyone would die eventually, and he was just a little later."

The metal box seemed to hear the voice of the gods, and one could almost feel the calm and undisturbed state brought about by the passage of time.

Perhaps the meaning of life is different in this person's eyes.

"This era may be very evil."

God whispered:
"Good people have their value, and bad people have their value."

Even a dog on the street has a place to go.

"Even the demons in hell must die a worthy death, a death of value."

"Wouldn't it be better to use them as consumables to withstand the next trial of the gods?"

He had some feelings for Rex, but not many.

And he knew that once Rex entered that world and raised the butcher's knife, he would inevitably die by it.

This is Rex's choice.

This is a racial conflict, a factional struggle; there is no inherent good or evil, right or wrong.

Who says darkness has to be bad?

In essence, it's just a faction within the divine realm.

It seems that this era is full of constant struggle and cruelty, but it is also the way of survival for their demon race.

"Hahaha." Goliath looked at the figure raising a wine glass before him and suddenly felt a surge of emotion. "That makes sense, that makes sense!"

"I've finished speaking, now it's your turn," God said calmly.
