Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 153 Heated Discussion: The Descent of the Creator God!
Zou Anmeng, sitting across from her, sighed deeply, commenting on everything she was seeing online:
"A new era of mythology has set sail."

"A new hero will appear here soon."

"They are driving the history of a new era, no less than God, like the ancient mythological figures such as Dhoma and the Demon King, composing our own great myths."

"They will create a new pantheon that is no weaker than the [Magic Pantheon] and the [God Pantheon]!"

Zou Anmeng's eyes were filled with a strange light as she transformed into a keyboard warrior, commenting on the current world situation.
"And we will witness the development of this civilization's history, this magnificent chapter."

The night outside the window was as still as water.

Liu Jun leisurely went to the living room, opened the refrigerator, took out a can of drink, and made a video call with them.

Li Feng and Zou Anmeng were arguing loudly.

The two of them appeared to be doing a shopping spree at a supermarket near the school, which was packed with people.

"Don't squeeze!"

"Wow, there are so many people!"

"Don't you know the supermarket rules? Using Nen energy is prohibited!"

"Damn it! That beast over there used Nen to float the entire shelf of food into your shopping cart! Fine him, fine him!"

"Hahaha, idiot! A 500-yuan fine for a single violation? I can afford it! Poor people like you can't even afford to buy something hot during a shopping spree!"

"He insulted me. What about the supermarket's smart monitoring system? Inappropriate language in a public place, he should be fined!"

"Hahaha, you idiot, it's just 500 spirit knives for cursing, I can pay more!"

It was noisy on the other end, but Liu Jun still listened carefully to the sounds coming from there.

In the video, Li Feng struggled through the crowd to get a tube of nutritional toothpaste off the shelf. He looked at Liu Jun on the other end of the video and said with a worried expression:
"I'm speechless. I was about to start teaching junior high school, but now I guess classes will be suspended. The world is really unpredictable."

"However, I'm about to take off. I have a feeling that even if I'm not the chosen host of a divine object, I'm still an existence with extremely high affinity, and I will follow the new god and become a founding hero."

Liu Jun couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.

The last time Li Feng was at school, during the mental magic aptitude test, he boasted about himself in the same way.

They were thoroughly humiliated.

Zou Anmeng was also busy shopping, displaying the expert speed and practiced touches of the trio's top snatcher of discounted items, and speaking at an astonishing pace:
"The two of us, along with Teacher Si Anhe, previously participated in teacher training at the 13th Junior High School in Rehe City."

When the time comes, please meet at our teachers' dormitory. The school is safer there, and the facilities are more complete.

Back then, we were all filming the Creator God descending into the atmosphere above us, recording the first divine trial. And sticking together was always safer!

Li Feng was very optimistic: "Yes, yes, great days are worth commemorating."

Liu Jun was somewhat speechless: Your first reaction was to take a picture?
He was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

In fact, their thoughts are also those of most people.

These days, even when there's a car accident, people take out their phones to take pictures.

Even if the world were to end, we would still take out our phones and snap photos, then post them on social media.

We are now facing unprecedented changes.

People felt a mix of fear, excitement, and excitement, and they also wanted to take photos.

They are all ordinary people from the bottom of society, so sticking together is indeed the best option for them.

Li Feng continued to persuade him:
"Yes, come to our meeting place in a few days."

Teacher Si Anhe said that there were two possibilities at that time.

The first scenario is that the new divine artifact possesses the characteristic of excelling at stealth. The host then goes into hiding, much like the Plague Queen Lilith, developing her power in secret, and there shouldn't be any major disturbances in the short term.
The second possibility is that the new divine artifact is not good at hiding, and its host immediately unleashes its power, which will likely quickly trigger a wave of attacks and slaughter, or even a terrible divine disaster that will rapidly spread to various cities.

Their analysis makes a lot of sense.

Therefore, prevention is essential.

Li Feng tempted him:
"So let's gather here first, I heard the school beauty will be here too!"

The beautiful teacher, Si Anhe, also invited some reliable, mature, and pretty older women to join her. They decided to stick together!

I heard that 80% of the team are stunning beauties; below Tier 3, our team is invincible!

Liu Jun was stunned for a moment.

Our city of Rehe matures very early.

What beautiful older sister? Are you sure it's not some prematurely aged 25-year-old woman like Si Anhe who's drunk too much acid rain?
He didn't voice his inner complaints, nor did he refuse the other person's kindness; he simply smiled and said, "I'll be there."

Although he could have given up this identity.

But he didn't want to do that.

The Creator God is a job; continuing the ordinary life of Liu Jun is the real life.

This is his spiritual anchor.

He doesn't become arrogant or lose himself.

Liu Jun remained calm and nodded with a smile, "I will go. It's been a long time since I've been back to my junior high school."

"Come quick, come quick! Your rented room isn't safe!" Li Feng shouted. "I've already started buying things for you. Just bring your clothes and come straight over."

Zou Anmeng showed a hint of worry, "Hurry up and come. The time is seven days and nights. You need to come a day or two in advance, in case there is traffic congestion."

Liu Jun chatted with them for a while.

As unfortunate individuals with cerebral palsy from the bottom of society, they discussed countermeasures for a while before hanging up the phone.

They began to make arrangements based on the strategy posts generated online by countless experts using AI.

The main measures to prevent infection from the divine disaster include "reinforcing doors and windows", "purchasing metal barriers", "storing food", and "wearing radiation protection clothing".

Actually.

Divine disasters are a specialized form of propagation.

Even if you're hiding in a closed room and only checking the outside situation through the "internet," you can still get infected.

Earth-type artifacts, metal-type artifacts, shadow-type artifacts, and mysterious artifacts. Currently, all of these known artifacts can invade this so-called secret room. For example, the Shadow Calamity spreads through shadow jumps. As long as there is a shadow in the secret room, the toxin can sneak into your room.

However, most conventional magical artifacts can still be effectively prevented from spreading in a sealed room.

It can only be said that these scholars on the internet are quite knowledgeable; it's already quite impressive that they can defend against most divine objects.

Faced with everyone's reasonable coping strategies, he suddenly felt a strong sense of reality.

In the world of mushroom soup, his image as God and immortal deity seems too lofty and distant.

Not entering the mortal world, not descending to the mortal realm.

In Rehe City, where he had lived for countless years, he finally experienced the trials of God and the real sense of panic that they brought to the people of that era.

A speck of dust from the times falling on the head of every mortal is a heavy mountain.

They could only try to stay alive.

"Okay, I'll be there then."

Liu Jun hung up the phone and quickly came to his senses.

"A new talent selection process is about to begin."

He remained calm and patiently began to organize the attribute interface.

Currently, it seems that I have a lot of mushroom talents, mainly five series.

1. Wisdom Series: Four Kinds of Wisdom.

2. Transmission series: low transmission, medium transmission, two.

3. The Hidden Series: Low symptoms, disappearing without a trace, two examples.

4. Longevity Series: Low consumption, long life and long vision, immortal and unchanging, three types.

5. Attribute series: the five elements of light, darkness, and wind, as well as the superior transformation attribute mushroom, nine in total.

Of course, there are also a few miscellaneous mushrooms like "Star Chaser" and "Deep Affection is Short-lived," as well as a newly acquired Space series that is about to develop.

Actually, there aren't many.

As he pondered, he opened and began browsing through the news articles.

now.

With the release of the final chapter of "The God's Myth," many people online quickly finished watching the film and began posting their reviews.

"The one on the moon is actually a demonized God! The sitting posture is exactly the same! The distant moon's shadow shines into the real moon!"

"God? Devil? Their seven-day and seven-night theological discourse, their preaching and sermons, shocked me."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined their battle was so exaggerated. They were using the heavens and earth as a chessboard, competing between the [Mystic Pantheon] and the [Magic Pantheon]."
The Demon King's god said, "And so it was done! All sorts of roast chickens and long loaves of bread rained down from the sky, changing the order of heaven and earth!"

"The final act of the God myth is like the climax of a movie, pushing the story to its peak with the destruction of the world by a great flood!"

"We are witnessing a miracle!!"

Countless people are enthusiastically discussing the plot.

This battle was truly spectacular. The two supreme beings, the Demon King and God, did not fight like ordinary powerful beings; rather, it was more like a clash of laws from mythology.

That's so classy.

Many people feel that this is what true myths and legends should look like.

The life of the Demon King Goliath is quite complicated and unsatisfying, which has sparked heated debates among many people.

Even some academic heavyweights personally joined in, leaving comments on the account:

"Isn't Goliath just like us? A hero in his youth, a demon king in middle age, and a hero again in his old age, rekindling the dreams of his youth."

"Picking up morning flowers at dusk, fulfilling dreams in old age."

"The strongest ranger witnessed the most brilliant glory in the world at that time, and the strongest demon king constantly looked back at everything that had deteriorated in hell and on earth."

"Having weathered countless storms, he rediscovered his former courage, transforming into a demon king and a hero. The two figures, young and old, merged together, brandishing their swords to fight against the cruel reality before them. Isn't this a microcosm of a person's life?"

This netizen's brief summary of Goliath's life resonated with many people.

In the Demon King chapter of the God myth, Goliath is undoubtedly a rather complex character.

Liu Jun raised an eyebrow, no longer paying attention to their lively comments.

Instead, they began to deduce the strategic intentions of the top leaders of various powerful clans from the information on the internet.

"They only announced the coming of the divine calamity, but not the Judgment Day thirty days and nights later."

"It's obvious they're afraid of causing panic. The arrival of divine calamities is an opportunity, but the arrival of Judgment Day would be a pure disaster."

"It is clear that they want to boost the confidence of the masses, encourage them to take a positive approach to everything, and then, after the divine object descends, quickly find and cultivate a new god to enhance their fighting strength in order to deal with God thirty days later."

Without a doubt, this response is very reasonable.

Little did they know, they had fallen into my trap.

Liu Jun smiled slightly.

As the art of war says, "Surround three sides and leave one open."

If I surround the entire city and spread my spatial virus wildly in the sky to trap them, the enemy will fight desperately and make a do-or-die move.

But if you leave a gap in the city, they will see hope and place their hopes on it, instead of fighting you to the death.

Now, by releasing divine calamity, I have released hope.

Let them focus their attention on survival and becoming stronger on the divine calamity.

They must have discovered it by now. They are openly standing on the moon, frantically absorbing energy with the Libra, and beginning to grow and spread something exponentially.

They ignored it and prepared for the divine calamity that would occur seven days later.

To use a very simple analogy.

It felt like I was openly and honestly picking up a packet of powder and poisoning their food right in front of them.

They just watched helplessly as they poisoned someone!

"But they didn't realize that this was actually a step-by-step descent into the abyss. The information from the Creator God had misled them. The outcome would be decided in seven days, but they thought it would be thirty days."

Liu Jun's psychological warfare was brilliantly executed.

That night, Liu Jun kept scrolling through online videos.

Looking at the various posts and comments from these talented individuals, one can't help but sigh at the abundance of talent emerging in the world.

Then take a shower and go to sleep.

The next morning, I went downstairs again for breakfast.

The breakfast shop was still open, but the owner was already reinforcing her shop.

"Xiao Liu, are you here for dinner?"

Liu Jun responded naturally: "The same as always."

Dangdang Dangdang!
The proprietress was doing renovations in the shop.

"Wait a minute, let me nail this radiation shield in place first. Auntie had no other choice but to stay in the shop and avoid the first wave of disaster. Besides, the world is so big, the possibility of the first wave breaking out in our Rehe City is extremely small."

Liu Jun wasn't in a hurry; instead, he asked her what she thought about the disaster.

“Oh? What’s your opinion? I think it’s quite interesting. It’s a divine disaster, so just think of it as a major earthquake. We can prepare in advance. My son said it’s much better than an earthquake. Earthquakes kill people, but there are opportunities here. He can’t wait for it to happen here first.”

Liu Jun simply smiled as he ate his breakfast.

In the next few days.

He occasionally glances at the human developments in the world of mushroom soup.

On the fourth day, the proprietress closed her shop, with a sign hanging above it that read: Closed for the holidays, to reopen on another day.

The internet is getting more and more lively.

These past few days, everyone has basically stopped working, started their vacation, and been bragging online.

In this atmosphere of widespread enthusiasm, more and more people are discussing it, and everyone is working together to figure out how to play.

During this rare holiday, the atmosphere became increasingly relaxed.

No one even considers this a disaster anymore.

Although social classes were rigid in this era, there was a full range of humane urban public facilities such as air-raid shelters and refuges.

Security is maximized.

Their refuge, however, is a bit special.

Ding!
Liu Jun received a text message.

[Dear customer, unless it's a divine being descending, anyone who has reached the first-tier Mind Master level can choose to commit suicide when in danger. Their consciousness will then escape through their internal AI to the soul shelters built by 'Langya Lingzi' in various cities.]

Langya Lingzi, one of the top ten companies.

The company was previously ranked ahead of Rehe Heavy Industry.

Our main businesses are: particle collision, cloud memory service development and download, and online games.

That is, the famous Soul-Summoning Banner Academy next door, which is on par with our Rehe City's Acid Rain Academy.

In the old days, universities were generally considered potential locations for large-scale shelters, and the same is true in this day and age.

As long as you take refuge inside the spirit-summoning banner of the principal next door, you will be safe from danger.

Of course.

The cost was also considerable.

Having lost his body, he can only work at the "School of Consciousness" like the other soul students.

There are some advantages as well.

You can also choose to take the opportunity to attend an adult university to improve your education and moral character, and work there while earning money to buy your freedom.

This was the last resort.

However, this shelter also greatly ensured the safety of ordinary people.

The chances of survival are still quite high, so you'll have to take on a "refugee loan".

After all, we live in an era where everyone can get a loan.

Time flies.

Time passed by, and six days had passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, Liu Jun has been browsing the internet and reading everyone's discussions whenever he has free time.

And go and observe the mushroom soup.

Growing mushrooms in my own space went surprisingly smoothly.

No one came to outer space to ambush or stop them from spreading their seed everywhere.

He allowed himself, the master of this plague, to spread throughout the world.

"It's not challenging at all."

"Why don't you resist me? Are you just going to stand by and watch me poison the moon?"

Liu Jun couldn't help but want to complain:
Oh no, we've encountered a bot!

This world is a huge makeshift operation, truly magical and absurd, yet it feels incredibly real.

Very simple.

As soon as God spoke, it was done so easily.

The seventh day has finally arrived.

The Creator God is about to descend!

A progress bar also appeared under Liu Jun's eyes.

[Current progress: 99%]

"After resting for so long, it's time to get back to work."

Liu Jun picked up his backpack, left the rented room, boarded the tram, and headed to the 13th Junior High School in Rehe City.

The streets were deserted.

All the shops were closed.

Once on the tram, it was sparsely populated, with no conductor and fully automated intelligent operation.

"It seems that most people have taken cover a day or two in advance and won't be caught off guard."

"I'm the one who leaves last, right on time, so it's not crowded at all."

For most people, the main reason they sought refuge was for peace of mind.

The world is so big, the probability of a divine object landing in their city is less than 1%.

It's like winning the lottery; it won't affect their lives much in the short term.

After taking the tram for half an hour, we arrived at Rehe No. 13 Junior High School.

"I thought that after leaving school for the college entrance examination, I would never come back."

"Unexpectedly, I ended up back in my junior high school."

As he stepped through the school gate with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi - mixed feelings of emotion and reflection), he felt a slow tremor in the sky.

In the distant reaches of space.

God opened his eyes, and countless densely packed spatial mushrooms were converging.

It's like countless tiny, transparent water droplets merging together, dripping and gathering into a vast ocean, eventually enveloping the planet beneath our feet.

He stretched out his hand, and a strange little bowl appeared, swelling in the wind in space.

Big!
Big!Big!Big!
It grew rapidly, like a giant seal, obscuring the sky and churning in the starry sky, eventually transforming into an enormous cauldron.

It loomed heavily over this planet.

Then, the pot was transformed into the shape of a yin-yang hot pot.

This hot pot is divided into two separate worlds.

Half of it contained a small butterfly sleeping in nothingness, as if it were about to create the world.

Half of it contains a vast, colossal planet as large as the sun.

"The magic touch of mushroom soup is truly exaggerated!"

"Just like the innate treasures in those ancient fantasy novels, a huge pot that can hold a single blade of grass or a single tree, or swallow the sky and the earth."

With a hint of calm in his eyes, Liu Jun opened the pot lid and peered inside.

"It really worked."

Under the swirling haze of the atmosphere, cities on the continental plate appeared and disappeared indistinctly.

"what is that?"

At that moment, people finally looked up and saw only the atmosphere above the sky.

The world was opened up, like the lid of a pressure cooker being opened, and a vast, enormous face slowly peered in.

"Creation God."

Everyone looked up in awe, witnessing a scene they would never forget.

A colossal face, spanning countless kilometers, looked down upon the earth from the sky, its eyes, filled with intense golden light, hanging in the sky like the sun and moon.

The power emanating from Him pierced through the clouds.

Various elements clashed and surged violently around that figure, emitting streaks of bright light and flowing flames.

Seeing this enormous, seemingly endless figure, everyone was deeply shaken.

"That's an exaggeration."

They had seen this scene many times in various ancient mythological books.

But when we truly see mythology enter reality, we truly witness its vastness and supreme majesty.

The head of that body, seemingly the size of their entire planet, slowly looked down upon them.

The whole world is contained in a tea egg in a cup of instant noodles. A figure sits upright at the table, picks up chopsticks, and seems to be about to pick up something.

This seems to be an astronomical phenomenon in the universe.

He is the creator of creation, the living time dimension.

It is a myth of civilization that creates countless dimensions, an epic of rules that gives birth to countless divine beings, and an indescribable and unknowable thing that all living beings cannot explore or obtain.

A thought surged in the minds of countless people:
"What kind of creature is this??"
