Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 18 The Birth of Angel Civilization

Rehe City.

in reality.

Liu Jun picked up a small mushroom from the mushroom soup that dreamed it was a "multi-handed butterfly".

Invest some energy and materials.

To his astonishment, the little mushroom who dreamt of being a multi-armed butterfly absorbed matter, formed a cocoon, and gradually transformed into a sleeping multi-armed butterfly.

"this?"

Liu Jun was taken aback. "Can you really extract the species from this mushroom soup?"

He opened his palm.

On it rests a three-centimeter-long centipede butterfly, with beautiful purple patterned wings, soft and delicate legs, and antennae atop its head.
"Okay! Okay!"

"This mushroom soup has other benefits I didn't know about!"

"If a dream reflects reality, and I dream about who I am, will that same person change their form in reality?"

"This is very subjective. Is it the power led by the [Intelligence] mushroom, or caused by other gifted mushrooms? Or is it the mushroom soup itself? Or is it that we mushroom-infected species are born with this ability to evolve rapidly?"

Liu Jun studied it carefully.

Suppressing his excitement, he tossed the butterfly back into the mushroom soup and continued his sweet dream.

Inside the tree hollow.

The multi-handed butterfly suddenly reappeared in the same spot.

"Where did you go?" Chong Shisan asked anxiously. "We were doing research together, and then you suddenly disappeared. What happened?"

Beside them, Chong Qiqi and Chong Sanshi also became nervous.

"I...I don't remember," the multi-handed butterfly said, somewhat bewildered.

He vaguely remembered something, and in a daze, it seemed as if the sky had been torn apart and he was lying on the body of an infinitely huge and vast being.

Miracle.

Unbelievable.

No words can describe this figure.

"It seems to be a god." The multi-handed butterfly pondered for a while.

"Was it the god of immortality or the god of wisdom who summoned you?" Insect Thirteen shouted excitedly.

"It must be the god of wisdom! I knew it! I knew it! We have received the approval of wisdom, and the path we are now exploring is correct!"

The Swallowtail thought about it and it just didn't seem right.

It seemed to be a higher and more mysterious existence, and he could only silently keep that figure in his heart.

It wasn't until his later years, when he looked back on this day, that he began to understand the root of all this, and he faced the most terrifying moment of his life.

Suddenly, Chong Sanshi shouted from the side:
"I think I just saw an unknown god too."

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Every day, the entire population is transforming from a cocoon into a butterfly.

Every day, butterflies fly like moths to a flame.

They rushed toward the flame of civilization.

What they want is to break free from their cocoons and transform into beautiful and powerful beings.

Various methods of weaving the "Life Knot" have been innovated, resulting in the emergence of many beautiful new races.

And the other side.

"Not enough, this is far from enough."

Research on the small group of insects, including Insect Thirteen, Insect Thirty, Insect Seventy, and Multihanded Butterfly, is still ongoing.

Over the years, Insect Thirteen and Insect Seven have still not chosen to cocoon; they remain insects, searching for their most beautiful form.

But Chong Sanshi chose a different path; he transformed into a giant sphere with small wings.

Chong Sanshi did not choose to weave other organs; his aesthetics are unique.

They believe that the most beautiful thing in the world is not physical form, but wisdom!

The manifestation of intelligence is the brain.

So he began to continuously weave the area of ​​the "brain" inside the sphere, until his entire body was just a large brain, and his sea of ​​consciousness continued to expand.

This made him a stronger, purer psionic life form!
As for the outer casing?

He kept recalling the form of the mysterious figure he had seen back then, but it became increasingly blurry, and the more he thought about it, the more he forgot.

Gradually.

In his eyes, that god was a beautiful sphere.

He chose to follow God's guidance and transformed into a winged sphere.

At this moment, Chong Shisan, who was standing nearby, kept thinking:
"I can use the Super Brain concept of Insect Thirty to optimize it and go all the way to the end."

"After all, every real life is a miracle, and it cannot be perfectly woven in ten or a hundred years; that requires wisdom."

After years of research, Chong Shisan has come to understand that the life forms woven by butterfly colonies today are merely superficial and incongruous.

The subject of life is too profound.

I may not be able to explore even one percent of it in my entire life.

So he decided to embrace the simplest path and become a winged sphere.

Liu Jun watched this scene quietly from the Cangwu tree.

"Is this little guy the same Insect Thirteen from back then? He's got some skills; he endured for so long before emerging from his cocoon."

One emperor and four princes followed different paths.

They were already butterflies, unable to break free of their cocoons, and had spent the last few years researching how to integrate with the divine treasures.

This was also the task Liu Jun gave them: he wanted to study this batch of gifted mushrooms and figure out how to make the life within the mushroom soup merge.

Furthermore, the death of numerous butterfly mushrooms, along with the feedback of their consciousness, allowed Liu Jun to feel that the entire intelligent dream constructed by the Amber Swallowtail Butterfly was rapidly solidifying.

The god of wisdom is absorbing wisdom to become stronger!

Liu Jun was fairly satisfied with this:

"In the end, it was just a dream of the Amber Swallowtail Butterfly. It used this dream to strengthen its soul and absorb the essence of others. Moreover, the evolution of the butterfly race itself is very useful."

time flies.

Insect Thirteen and Insect Seven Seven also transformed into a winged sphere.

Spheres are the most beautiful geometric shapes in the world, and they also possess very powerful psychic energy.

Even at the second rank, his psychic power was hundreds of times greater than that of others of his kind.

His second-order psychic abilities were already close to the second-order level of humans, and he could steadily pierce the dinosaur's eyeballs and penetrate deep into its brain by wielding his bone spikes.

The young Chong Shisan also consulted the gods of wisdom and longevity, believing himself to be an apostle of the god of wisdom, and named himself:
Angels are the messengers of wisdom in the heavens.

Thus, after countless other butterfly races created races in the form of multi-handed races, flower races, wood races, and so on.

A completely new life form has emerged: the Angels.

The power of the Angel race led countless insects to choose this path, rapidly expanding the entire species.

Chong Shisan abandoned his previous numbered name and called himself: King of Angels.

Chong Qiqi became: Archangel.

The 30th generation of the insect is: Cherubim.

The multi-armed butterfly becomes: a wheel angel.

Their four teams quickly established their own population forces.

In the past, the butterfly transformed into four races, but now it has transformed into dozens of races. Once they are separated, they are required to leave their ancestral land, the Butterfly Kingdom.

Full of anticipation for the future, Insect Thirteen left the butterfly colony, expanded its territory, settled on a plain, and led countless angels to challenge their millennia-old nemesis: the dinosaurs.

A second-tier human mind master, capable of controlling throwing knives to pierce vital organs, can already instantly kill dinosaurs.

After all, even the strongest flesh and blood creatures have weaknesses.

"Stay with me and fight alongside me against the enemy!"

"We will conquer the entire world and become the masters of heaven and earth!"

"As a branch of the Butterfly Clan, we will build our own kingdom, our city of wisdom."

"We are believers in the god of wisdom, we are the symbol of wisdom!"

The year 87 of the Butterfly Era.

The King of Angels assembled an angelic legion, which flew through the air, slaying spiny dragons and tyrannosaurus rex, and killing the legendary overlords of the era.

When news of the Angel King's victory reached Butterfly Valley, it shocked the entire race.

One of the little angels who followed the war excitedly introduced:
"That's a legendary dragon, bigger than a fingernail of our Butterfly Clan. When it crashed down, it caused the earth to tremble, and its roar could blow away a hundred of our people."

The other caterpillars showed longing.

"We want to become angels!"

"We want to become angels!"

However, their joy was short-lived, as they soon discovered that their true nemesis was: pterosaurs, small birds.

Without air superiority, one can no longer remain invincible.

And the opponent is faster than them.

They were like meatballs flying through the air, being tortured and killed at will.

The King of Angels was finally given a cold shower and finally understood why the ancestral land was built in such a narrow valley.

“They are creatures at the bottom of the food chain, yet they possess the power to restrain us.” Chong Qiqi, now an archangel, looked worried.

The year 90 of the Butterfly Era.

The angel race's brains underwent a second revolution, resulting in higher intelligence and greater telekinetic power.

More insects flocked to his embrace.

However, they still chose to live on the plains, which further intensified their conflict with their flying predators, leading to mutual hunting.

The year 98 of the Butterfly Era.

The angels developed a technique called "Intelligence Synchronization," which allowed them to form battle formations through resonance, greatly increasing their power and finally giving them the ability to defeat their aerial adversaries.

From then on, they had no more enemies throughout their entire era.

The year 101 of the Butterfly Era.

The Angel race began smelting steel, mining soil, and establishing city-states, marking the beginning of a period of rapid development for their civilization.

The year 103 of the Butterfly Era.

The Angel Clan began to tame the dinosaurs, and the Angel King, Worm Thirteen, and Worm Seven Seven held a grand wedding.

And the god of wisdom was invited to participate.

"Adorable children~"

I love you all~

The god of wisdom descended in the form of a beautiful phoenix, causing an uproar throughout the era.

God loves the world.

The year 106 of the Butterfly Era.

Chong Shisan and Chong Qiqi, and even their original team, have passed their peak.

The side effects of the forced suturing finally began to appear, and the physical lesions caused them unbearable pain.

Almost all the mutated cicada pupae also broke out in disease at this time. Even with the blessing of the god of immortality, as angels, their remaining lifespan was only a little over ten years.
