Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 155 Dialogue: Xu Changsheng's Parents' Revenge

Rehe City has stopped draining rainwater in the past few days, and the sky is unexpectedly clear.

A surge of air appeared in the sky, as if countless layers of clouds were overlapping. Under the distorted and twisting light, three divine objects descended from the sky.

"It's actually the light of three divine objects?"

In front of the dormitory, Zou Anmeng and the others lined up, staring at the sky in shock.

Several people even took out telescopes amplified by their psychic energy and gazed at the sky.

"This time, the Creator God paused, but didn't take a single one; he just left?"

"Three divine objects!? Perhaps, because this is the beginning of a new era, the creator god has chosen to use more cooking ingredients?"

Their eyes shone, their faces were full of anticipation, and they kept guessing.

The arrival of the three divine calamities increases the disaster by 50%, but also increases the opportunities by 50%, providing more choices.

Perhaps for everyone right now...

It's like watching a national rocket launch live – exciting, yet somewhat unattainable.

But there was still a strong sense of shock, a powerful feeling that the times had been changed.

Xu Changsheng narrowed his eyes in the crowd. "They flew out in three directions, and it seems one of them is flying this way?"

Xu Changsheng did not believe that the plane would land in Rehe City.

However, if they occur in the same province, they can still cause a lot of disasters.

For him, it was a mix of joy and sorrow.

It wouldn't be convenient for him to hide his identity, but if he was nearby, he could secretly drive his Star Rider to take a look.

of course.

The premise is that you already know the characteristics of this divine object.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life.

Many of these magical artifacts are quite outrageous, and their initial appearance can be quite frightening.

Especially those divine items that change attributes, such as shadow divine items.

If you lack the corresponding resistance, even God will taint you with defilement, corrupting you from the outset and affecting your character.

Xu Changsheng's main strategy is to survive, just like when he hid in the era of Elephant Domo and God, fishing in the shadows.

However, his composure does not mean he will not fight for it!

In this era, there is himself, Insect Thirteen, and the three new gods who are about to be born.

There are five gods in total.

If things develop further, they might become the main force in joining forces to resist God's judgment.

In Xu Changsheng's view.

This will be the era of Insect Thirteen!

He will establish a new mythological system and create various world wonders; his future achievements will be no less than those of Elephant, God, or Demon King.

What Xu Changsheng needs to do is help him rise to power.

"almost."

At this moment, Si Anhe, the leader of the group, glanced at the whereabouts of the divine object and said to the people beside her:

"Everyone took photos and witnessed the landing of the divine object. Now we can go back to the secret room and hide. In the meantime, everyone should quietly use the internet to keep an eye on the intelligence outside!"

"Ok!"

"Thank you, teacher!"

"Everyone, get moving!"

At this moment, Liu Jun also saw the other members of Si Anhe's trio.

The other two are indeed mature and beautiful older women.

He was around twenty-five or twenty-six years old and seemed to be a teacher, but had previously taught at other schools.

Their cultivation level is only at the second tier, eighth or ninth level, and they don't even have the qualifications to break through to the third tier, which shows that their aptitude is average. Si Anhe is the leader.

They were just waiting for Si Anhe, the only one with a chance of breaking through, to reach the third tier, so that the other two could rise together.

This group of people with cerebral palsy had actually paid off their "brain loan" in the previous generation, and were just waiting for their descendants to produce a third-level one.

Now, under the protection of this elite Tier 2 team, they are capable of handling some low-risk emergencies.

Sticking together in the dormitory area is already a pretty good option.

Liu Jun: "Is filming finished?"

Li Feng and Zou Anmeng: "Not yet? That's the creator god! I want to take two more pictures!"

Liu Jun: "Is filming finished?"

"Filming is finished!"

"Huh? Why did the creator god in the sky start turning around and gradually disappear as soon as we finished filming?"

"Hahaha, what a coincidence! I really am the chosen one!"

Liu Jun was very savvy in social interactions. He waited for the two of them to take photos together, make V-signs and heart gestures, and pose for a photo with the creator god in the sky before he slowly departed as the creator god.

"Let's go back to the dorm."

Afterwards, he returned to the teachers' dormitory with the others.

This area is quite large.

It's a large, single-level apartment, and the teachers there receive very generous compensation.

Liu Jun walked into the hall and found that the interior had been reinforced tightly, the doors and windows were sealed, there was no ventilation system, and various oxygen cylinders provided oxygen circulation.

They seem to have been very busy these past few days.

The hall was almost completely empty, filled with all sorts of supplies, a chaotic mess.

There was also a quote hanging on the wall.

A superhero is merely a leader; behind him are countless ordinary followers who pool their strength to help him pierce the darkness with light!

well.

These teachers have a very artistic flair.

Ordinary people also have their own power and their own attitude towards life when choosing a leader.

Next, they began sealing off the doors and creating a secret room.

The group began their clanging and banging work.

Just then, they noticed something unusual in the sky.

Rumble!
The sound of a sonic boom came from the sky.

A group of large mechs, radiating golden light, seemed to take off from the skies above Rehe City and other cities.

slam-la-

Using massive psychic shields, they began to fly into the sky, seemingly to prevent the divine object from falling.

"It's the major corporations that have made their move!" Zou Anmeng exclaimed in surprise. "They even waited until after the Creator God left before daring to act. Even the Angel Emperor back then was much braver than them!"

"They were indeed restless; they probably had this planned all along!"

Li Feng also shouted loudly, "After all, the uncertainty of a random host is too high, they will definitely try to intercept the divine object."

However, their attempts to blockade them did not seem to be effective.

The divine object was an energy body, and it was falling very fast; their mental energy seemed unable to stop it.

Only Liu Jun, looking at the sky, noticed something amiss:
“If a fifth-tier being were to make a move, they could still keep up with the speed of the divine artifact, but they only sent out a fourth-tier one.”

Those fifth-tier experts at the suppression level are probably hiding in the shadows, too afraid to go up.

Those who intercept divine objects are essentially pioneers who are the first to approach them; who knows what kind of disaster or infection might occur?

They also value their lives.

Send various fourth-tier powerhouses as suicide squads to test the waters.

Since they had failed to intercept the divine object and there was no more excitement to watch, they began to completely seal the door and hide.

After the main gate was completely sealed, everyone gathered in the living room to distribute rooms, supplies, and assign people to keep watch.

"Night watch is done in pairs."

"If you have free time, pay more attention to information about supernatural objects that appear online. This will determine when we go out and resume our daily lives, and it is also a matter of life and death."

After six years of getting to know each other, everyone can trust Ms. Si Anhe's character.

In particular, she had previously secured two teaching positions for Li Feng and Zou Anmeng.

The students present were all potential investments for her.

She is the real financial backer, and she leads the team. Since everyone is gathered here, they naturally follow her instructions throughout the entire process.

Even Li Feng, the chatterbox, was naturally flattering him;

"With the arrival of this divine artifact and the emergence of various opportunities, Teacher Si Anhe will surely break through the final bottleneck and enter the third tier!"

"Thank you for your kind words." Si Anhe didn't dislike Li Feng, a lively and sly student.

She always felt she was about to break through, but she never did.

Even she herself was very anxious.

This three-tier threshold is too difficult for ordinary people.

After the rooms were assigned, it was free time.

Everyone started a barbecue party.

"drink!"

"Our future will be bright and prosperous!"

"cheers!"

Liu Jun sat on the sofa in the living room, eating barbecue skewers and listening to them chat, boast, and analyze the situation. He felt a relaxed sense of enjoying life.

Compared to the miserable high school life I endured in the rain, this is the life I'm living now.

At this moment, Si Anhe suddenly noticed that the webpage was pushing a news article:
"Did you see that? Major companies online are announcing their latest Holy Armor models, and their strongest ones are actually at the peak of the fifth tier! This shows they have enough strength to deal with this divine calamity!"

Everyone immediately began discussing the current situation.

"Hiss! These companies were hiding so well? Peak fifth tier!"

"Isn't it said that only those with the bodies and minds of saints can break through to the fifth rank? How come they have already completed all ten stages of the fifth rank?"

"Idiot! They already had the fifth rank before. It's said that the fifth-rank holy body is not compatible and they can't wear the armor for a long time. They just have a defect, it doesn't mean they can't continue to cultivate."

"Wait, it seems they've recently achieved a new breakthrough based on ancient mythology, with a perfect fit and no longer any time constraints."

"correct."

"Wait, a fifth-tier body, isn't that his heart filled with pure and intense emotions? Where did they come from, and how did they ignite this body?"

"It's definitely a lie; he committed suicide for himself!"

"That's right. I've heard that in the cities outside, those saints often possess the bodies of us NPCs and ordinary people, and deceive them in various ways. They might even be tricking us into burning our life force and igniting our sacred bodies."

"Hiss! You might be mistaken about the truth!"

As people continued to discuss it, all sorts of conspiracy theories suddenly emerged.

Looking back now, I realize that these saints were quite unusual.

Why do I keep possessing various roadside NPCs in different cities?

Who knows, it might really be to cultivate emotions and ignite the unique mecha body he has woven!

Even a fourth-tier powerhouse, before breaking through to the fifth tier, will prepare a mecha holy body in advance and collect a burning, intense heart as material for their advancement to the fifth-tier mecha.

Xu Changsheng's heart sank:
"These people actually guessed right. According to my investigation, my parents' deaths were orchestrated by them because they saw my parents' potential and then used my parents' love to set up a script that ignited the Holy Body!"

"I initially thought it was just some fourth-tier expert doing something bad, but I never expected it to have caught up with a fifth-tier expert!"

"damn it!"

"I must find out who this person really is. My sacred body, nurtured by the love of my parents, cannot be toyed with by this person!"

Liu Jun was unaware of the main storyline involving Xu Changsheng's parents.

If I knew, I would definitely give a thumbs up: No wonder he's the main character, it's so melodramatic.

His main storyline as the protagonist is clear:

An ancient sage is reborn in the city, showing off and slapping faces in various ways. After the college entrance examination, he slaps the face of a rich second generation and begins to delve into the truth about his parents.

Without realizing it, I started to become enemies with those big shots.

Listening to their discussion, Liu Jun seemed lost in thought, reflecting on his own level of understanding:
Level 5, Level 1.

“In the past, I would advance two minor realms by merging with a divine object.”

"But this time, the fusion with the divine object didn't improve my rank at all. It's only at the fifth rank, which probably can't be improved simply by accumulating power."

"Even if I integrate a hundred divine objects, I'll probably still only be at the fifth tier, first level."

Liu Jun remembered what the Demon King Goliath had said before.

The fifth level is for cultivating the power of mental imagery!

It requires repeated transformations and metamorphoses.

Goliath then transformed his mental image into a sword.

Perhaps, with each transformation of the mental image at the fifth level, one can break through a small realm.

Fifth tier, ten levels, does that mean ten transformations?
If that's the case, the difference in combat power between the five ranks is probably even greater than Liu Jun imagined.

Every transformation is a qualitative change.

At level 5, level 2, it may be impossible to fight at level 5, level 3.

Of course, this is reasonable in itself. The further you go, the more difficult it is to advance to each minor realm, and the greater the gap in combat power will naturally be.

It's difficult to fight monsters that are several levels higher.

However, Liu Jun did not include his own combat strength in the calculation.

He felt that even if he was only at the fifth level and first level, he could defeat someone at the fifth level and tenth level whose mental image had undergone ten transformations.

I have countless divine attributes at level 5, level 1, while my opponent is only at level 5, level 10 with no attributes. How can they possibly fight me?
"However, it's worth seeing how these guys cultivate and secretly learning their fifth-order cultivation realm."

Liu Jun was well aware that one can learn from others' experiences.

If there are readily available, mature cultivation methods, wouldn't it be foolish not to copy them?

"It even puts pressure on them like Goliath, as God, forcing them to break through these fifth-tier peaks and step into the sixth tier."

Liu Jun kept thinking about how to deduce the value of this sand table.

Breaking through to the sixth level is not some unrealistic fantasy.

1. They were originally at the peak of the fifth rank.

2. Oil, electricity, and soul were originally derived from the three characteristics of their era.

This is the most fitting divine object for them.

These three divine objects will cause an exaggerated chemical reaction in this world, giving rise to all sorts of new and powerful pantheons.

With this power, it's not impossible for those of them who are essentially blank slates to break through to the next level.

after all.

The neighboring butterfly civilization is only a little over a thousand years old.

This has accumulated for over seven thousand years!
With over seven thousand years of heritage, various powerful clans, and a large number of naturally born saints, there is certainly enough raw material to propel the next sixth-order civilization level!

Liu Jun's lips curled slightly. "My realistic model has a promising future."

After half an hour.

After everyone had drunk a little too much, Liu Jun used the excuse of cultivation to go directly back to his room to rest.

The room wasn't big, but it was still much better than that bird's nest-like rental I had before.

He lay in bed and looked at the online information, but had not yet found any news about the divine object online.

So the properties page was opened.

Name: Liu Jun

[Race: Fungus]

[Realm Level: Fifth Rank, First Level Mind Master]

[Talent: Low resource consumption, low symptoms, disappearance, longevity, immortality, unchanging nature, lush vegetation, ultimate wisdom, microcosm]

[Mushroom Soup: Low intelligence, medium intelligence, high intelligence, low propagation, medium propagation, blending with the world, clear sun and gentle breeze, bright moon and radiant spirit, deep affection but short-lived, swift as a star and lightning, firelight illuminating the sky, peaceful seas and clear rivers, the whole world, subtle fragrance and sparse shadows, rainbow swirling, spirit soaring, oil lamp burning, drums thundering]

Now that he has obtained the [Immortal and Unchanging], this immortal divine power has finally merged into his body.

He now truly possesses the power of immortality and can be considered a true immortal god.

After experiencing the changes in his body, Liu Jun began to reflect on his actions as the creator god.

"Strictly speaking, my mushroom soup transformed into a canopy, only covering this planet and the moon overhead."

"As for the more distant planets, such as the sun, there is currently no way to pull them into the mushroom soup."

However, afterwards, your own space mushrooms will continue to grow, expand outwards, and cover a larger area.

In the future, it will gradually envelop other planets, and even the sun, taking the entire galaxy under its control.

He's now starting to pay attention to a long-forgotten feature:

Time multiplier!

The previous mushroom soup had the function of multiplying by 2, 3, and 5.

He just doesn't use it often.

Because this is essentially the Amber Swallowtail Butterfly, the creator god, dreaming in chaos.

In a dream, a day can feel like twenty or thirty years.

But this planet is different!

This is the real world, the physical world, at normal speeds.

If you want to accelerate the development of this civilization sandbox, you need to start adding firewood to the bottom of the mushroom soup to activate the time multiplier.

Turn up the heat and simmer the soup over high heat!
This soup will accelerate development and simmer into a rich broth of civilization.

But accelerating this massive civilization sandbox requires far too much firewood!

Liu Jun at present is simply incapable of doing that.

It's estimated that we'll have to wait until we find a new type of mushroom that can absorb and convert energy from the stars to power itself before we can activate the sandbox's accelerated mode.

Liu Jun thought for a moment:
"Actually, it's fine now. The flow rate is normal, and it hasn't changed much since I lived in Rehe City."

"Besides, their cultivation speed isn't calculated based on normal time!"

For example, there was that old man Zhang Baixin, who lived by the lamp and lottery shop. He was a powerful third-tier expert who died at just over a hundred years old.

But in reality, he has been reading in the world of spiritual books for at least several thousand years!
News reports mention many born saints and some geniuses in cultivation who reached the fourth rank at the age of eighteen and became wise gods.

Their peers are still in high school.

Differs greatly.

But do you really think they're eighteen?
He may be eighteen in physical age, but his mental age is probably much older, considering how many books he's read!

Angel Emperor Worm Thirteen is an example.

Originally, I was at the early stage of the third tier, but now, only a few months later, I'm already at the early stage of the fourth tier.

How many years do you think he's spent in the public consciousness?
As long as you burn your soul's lifespan and are willing to read, anything is possible.

"The hosts of those divine objects, even if they are first-level mind masters, can probably develop very quickly."

Thinking about this, Liu Jun felt that his need for "time multipliers" was not that important in the short term.
