Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 154 A New Three-Choice Talent, A Divine Artifact Descends

The Milky Way is dazzling.

As Liu Jun dragged this spatial artifact with one hand, he felt its strangeness and terror more and more.

"The fifth rank is not considered powerful. Perhaps only the sixth or even the seventh rank can easily achieve the current planetary-level combat power that can be described as a miracle."

He performed such a miracle, but he remained humble.

He knew that this was a strange divine power borrowed from external objects, not his own strength.

"Is this essentially like the Demon-Refining Pot in mythology, where mushrooms are refined inside?"

A strange light flickered in his eyes.
"But this mushroom soup-shaped humanoid bag itself is harmless. I can only put them inside and confine them like a prison."

"However, I can use the arrival of divine calamities to slowly grind them down, time and time again."

"You can also treat them as civilized prisoners, fight them regularly, and if you can't beat them, just keep developing and fight them again next time."

As his thoughts raced, the new progress bar, which had reached 99%, also reached its final moment, jumping to 100%.

The process involves timing the progress bar and then switching to this mushroom soup, which can be considered as cooking soup in this world.

Using this group of crazy bookworms as material, I wonder what kind of mushrooms will emerge?

slam-la-

Then, three mushrooms slowly began to emerge.

Mushroom number one.

A golden mushroom shaped like a lightning bolt.

【闙鼓雷鸣】：To have a slight grasp of the power of thunder and lightning.

A brand new golden fruit has been discovered at a market stall.

"You unscrupulous vendor, are you putting gold paint on the fruit?"

People soon discovered that consuming this special fruit could prolong their lives, enhance bioelectrical signals in their bodies, and even generate a slight magnetic field.

"Eating this fruit will make you feel electrified? That's a lie!" This fruit was initially just an urban legend.

Later, people discovered that more and more golden pears, golden apples, golden grapes, and golden cabbages were appearing in various vegetable markets.
Some people have even found that ordinary fruit placed in their living room will inexplicably turn into golden fruit after a few days.

The probability of a golden fruit appearing is one in a million!

The fruit gold rush also began.

Countless people flocked to the farmers' market.

Countless people flocked to the fruit stalls.

Countless tycoons also began to enter the market, monopolizing the source and purchasing large quantities of fruit into large warehouses, even though most of the fruit would eventually rot in the warehouses.

They found out.

Only after the picked fruit has been fermented for a period of time will there be a very low probability that it will turn into golden fruit.

It appears to be caused by some kind of fungus fermenting within it.

As people consume more of this fruit, they can control the bioelectricity in their bodies, and even gradually transform it into an electric field.

A new wave of interest in exploring Qigong has emerged in various cities.

The golden fruit ushered in a new era.

Some powerful individuals use acupressure techniques to disrupt the opponent's bioelectricity, causing paralysis and severe injury.

Some powerful individuals have even begun to be able to manipulate the magnetic field within their bodies.

But they didn't notice that something terrible was about to happen.

Within their bodies, the bioelectrical signals seemed to have come to consciousness, and countless electrical signals converged to form you.

You are the god of bioelectricity within all things, secretly controlling and threatening the entire human civilization.

You began to be revered by them as the God of Thunder.

"The lightning attribute has also appeared, becoming the ninth basic attribute besides the five elements, light and darkness, and wind."

Liu Jun was not surprised.

These basic attributes will eventually appear.

The reason why this attribute has never appeared in the neighboring area is because the neighboring area is in the primitive kingdom era, where electricity is hardly used.

Without the ingredients, I can't make soup.

But it's different here.

In the age of electricity, there are many ingredients for making soup.

It's reasonable that this talent was the first to appear.

Liu Jun's gaze shifted downwards, wondering what other opportunities this era could possibly have.
Mushroom number two.

The mushroom looked like a lump of melted butter, dripping oil.

【Oil burns out and lamps glow】: Slightly controls changes in oil quality.

As humans continued to exploit the oil fields, they were completely depleted.

With the explosion of human technology, they developed genetically modified special plant oils, which can continue to be used as renewable fuel for vehicles.

But the price of synthetic 95-octane gasoline is too high.

Humans began to pray that new oil fields would be discovered!
It seemed that their prayers had come true that day.

But one day, humanity was surprised to discover that oil, a non-renewable resource, began to regenerate.

Scientists are delighted to discover a special microbial community in petroleum that can ferment and decompose plants and animals to regenerate petroleum.

"This is a new milestone!"

"This is a completely new population of decomposing microorganisms!"

"Various animal and plant remains can decompose and regenerate, and even some garbage can decompose, although the decomposition rate of garbage is relatively slow!"

On this day, humanity entered the era of environmental protection.

The reason why human civilization has caused devastating environmental damage is that it has fundamentally altered the cyclical structure of the food chain.

As upstream entities in the ecosystem, they produce various types of waste, exceeding the rate of decomposition, causing accumulation and making it impossible for the waste to return to the natural ecosystem.

But now, an epic miracle has occurred in the ecosystem!
All waste will be processed quickly, recycled and returned to nature, and transformed into new energy sources.

Humanity has entered the new energy era.

But years later, people discovered something terrifying.

This mysterious microbial community began to evolve, no longer limited to parasitizing petroleum, but also starting to parasitize vegetable and animal oils.

Humans began to feel fear.

Because human bodies contain animal fats.

The terrifying speculation is beginning to come true.

The oil on human bodies began to be parasitized by these microorganisms, which then solidified under the fat into clumps of slime-like oily organisms.

"Cannot be taken away!"

"How can it be!?"

"Yes, once the oil on our bodies is stripped away, we will become so thin that only dry muscles remain, turning into a muscular skeleton, and we will die!"

"What should I do?"

"We can only coexist with these oily organisms. Only by combining with them can we become a complete human being."

"We are guilty of allowing these organisms to spread. All of humanity has been infected by this microorganism, and we are currently surviving on these oily slimes!"

Some scientists are making despairing predictions:

"These parasites are the true masters of this civilization; we are merely their mounts, their slaves to be fed!"

The prophecy was gradually coming true. They found themselves utterly reduced to mere human grease.

Their pores are leaking oil, the amount of oil is excessive.

On the street, every person going to work is like walking butter on a hot day, slowly melting and oozing oil.

The ground had turned into a street covered in solidified oil.

Humans also transformed into large, round, obese bodies covered with dense, large, oily pores.

The rooms, streets, computers, and bed sheets were all stained with a thick, sticky oil from people's contact with them.

"Hahaha, we prayed and rejoiced for oil, and now we're finally paying the price."

Time passes day by day.

The human digestive system also began to shrink, and eating habits began to change.

Food enters through pores.

They casually smeared countless grains of rice, and thousands of grains of rice were inserted one by one into their dense, oily pores, where they began to eat and convert into energy.

This is already a country of oil.

Humanity has become a slave to oil.

People began to abandon electrical equipment and entered the era of oil energy.

Oil-filled cars, oil-filled computers, oil-filled airplanes, oil-filled mechs, oil-based pens.

Desperate people began to call this era "Oil Room Hell".

Liu Jun looked completely bewildered: "."

He had seen many outrageous descriptions of mythical creatures.

However, I still think that this divine object is so terrifying that it should be ranked among the top three of all divine objects.

But it seems quite reasonable.

Modern society is inherently an era of oil and electricity.

It's no surprise that this pot of ingredients produced these mushrooms.

Suddenly, Liu Jun had a thought:
"These oily slimes seem to have no brains, only instincts."

"What would happen if I used mystery to ignite these oily parasitic slimes that only have instincts?"

"A civilization of oil will be born on the back of humanity! Humanity will truly become their mount!"

"They rode on people's backs, communicated, greeted each other, and gave birth to an unprecedented and magnificent civilization!"

His gaze fell on the third mushroom.

This is a mushroom covered with dense totems, somewhat resembling a mushroom covered with integrated circuits.

"integrated circuit?"

He guessed it in an instant:

“Very good, this is also very much in line with the times. The three mushrooms fully embody the three characteristics of modern society.”

But in reality, the mushroom's function was slightly different from what he had guessed.

【Tu Po Teng Ling】: Consciousness transforms into a ball of energy threads.

For a long time, humanity has been researching how to discard this weak body and how to allow consciousness to remain attached to a mech for an extended period of time.

On this day, they made a complete breakthrough.

They completely uploaded their consciousness, transforming it into a ball of energy that travels through the network and remains eternally within the mechanical textures.

They began to parasitize various mechanical circuits without any side effects.

Mechanical ascension has arrived.

Some are saying, "This is a completely new era. Ancient myths are becoming reality. It's like the magical artifacts of ancient myths; we have become the spirits of these artifacts!"

Someone laughed: "We've all turned into mythical magical artifacts that can fly and disappear into the earth!"

However, some people soon stopped laughing.

Because every era has both good and bad people.

Some evil beings meticulously dissected the souls of the chant masters, truly refining them into various "magical artifacts."

The era of the soul-summoning banner is also coming.

These three mushrooms made Liu Jun raise an eyebrow slightly.

They are all of very good quality.

These three mushrooms have great potential and offer many ways to play.

Electricity, needless to say, is far more destructive than any deity of earth, water, or wind.

Oil God, it's a bit hard to judge.

The last one seems to be the Soul series.

This initial talent already looks quite remarkable.

As it climbs higher, the potential of the Mushroom series in the Soul series is estimated to be no weaker than that of other series!
Liu Jun thought to himself, "I don't really want to take any of these three talents."

"And these three together seem to be able to work together perfectly?"

"Yes, when the God of Oil and the God of Electricity work together, they can bestow power together. Thus, the hybrid electric vehicle was born!"

"Are the gods of the new era such inconvenient things?"

After thinking about it, Liu Jun suddenly felt that letting go of these three mushrooms in this first trial of the gods was a good option.

I'm too lazy to choose one.

My previous self, [Immortal and Unchanging], has not yet been taken out and has been kept by the Immortal God.

I'll have to take it out sooner or later.

It would be good to just use this opportunity to choose talents and take out the talent that was stored in the mushroom soup.

If you take out the [Immortal] artifact now, it will be easier to take it out later when you get stronger and more powerful mushrooms.

With this in mind, Liu Jun made his choice.

Liu Jun had just stepped through the gate of Rehe No. 13 Junior High School.

"You're here? Come in quickly!" Zou Anmeng shouted loudly, glancing occasionally at the miraculous figure in the sky.

Liu Jun was quickly taken to the dormitory by her.

"Hurry up and come in! We're waiting outside in the hallway for a wave of divine beings to descend. After witnessing this historic moment, we'll start hiding in the secret room!"

Soon after climbing the stairs, Liu Jun saw a group of people huddled together.

There were quite a few familiar faces inside, and the area was piled high with snacks, making it feel like an unconventional camping party.

That's when.

"Has the Creator God made his selection? The divine artifacts are about to descend!"

With a gasp, Zou Anmeng, Li Feng, Bai Youxuan, Si Anhe, Xu Changsheng and others on the rooftop suddenly looked up.

Above the sky, to everyone's astonishment, the enormous figure of the creator god began to move.

Wow!
He reached out and gently flicked it.

The clouds and mist seemed to be lifted.

Waves began to surge in the sky.

Three divine objects, radiating a mysterious glow, then descended.
