Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 56 The Methods of the Gods!
The prophet then looked at Veda and said:

“Embezzlement is the most serious crime, Vedama. I will punish you so that the days to come will be more painful than death.”

"I punish you to eternally chase death on this earth."

He looked at the olive-skinned, dog-headed giant, who held a staff, wore a black crown, and was adorned with bracelets and anklets.

"I want you to build nine golden pagoda cemeteries for the dead and to make an iron chain to ferry the corpses of all kinds of dead, pull them onto your raft and take them away, so as to prevent the corpses from rotting and causing various plagues and disasters in different places."

"You will be responsible for guiding the souls of the dead across the land. You are the giant dog guarding the graves, the boatman of the funeral procession, and you are responsible for protecting the dead from disturbance."

Vedama prostrated himself on the ground and proclaimed:
"If this is your wish, then we will certainly comply!"

“I will pull a boat of suffering with chains that never cease day and night, carrying the dead of the earth on board, and ferrying them to the grave on the other side.”

This is the end.

At opposite ends of the world, there appeared lovers who could only meet once every thirty-six years when the new moon appeared.

On the boundless land, a dog-headed god carrying a black iron chain appeared, his presence symbolizing death, pulling a land-based boat to ferry the corpses of the dead.

"Go."

The prophet waved his hand.

"Yes." The three giants silently departed.

Liu Jun breathed a sigh of relief after the three of them left.

so tired.

Being a god is really difficult.

It is no easy task to win over sinners, the gods around them, kings and nobles, and even the resentful Dielie Xin.

"Go away."

After saying that, he disappeared.

Inside the hall, the Angel of Truth and several kings, having heard the entire trial, were in turmoil and somewhat dazed.

"This is God."

The Angel of Truth tensed his wings, his heart filled with awe.

The verdict imposed the harshest punishment, yet the guilty party was convinced of its fairness.

Under the ancient tree, he stood alone, facing all living beings. His disdain for the world and his arrogance, along with the indifference in his eyes, were qualities that only a truly immortal deity could possess.

Strength is external, but wisdom is internal.

Recalling the cold-faced deity who had just spoken, and how he had manipulated emotions with each word, causing the sinner's heart to rise and fall.

Despite imposing the harshest and most unbearable punishments, they were made to comply willingly, and it even won them over.
Looking back on everything, I can't help but admire it.

The three giants left the palace and walked across the mountains and rivers, feeling an indescribable sense of emotion.

“God is so good to us! So forgiving!” Agni and Varuna exchanged a glance and said to Vedama:

"Friend, thank you for saving us from this chaos. From today onwards, you are our best friend!"

"If you encounter difficulties on earth, you can come to the ends of the earth to find us, who are imprisoned."

Vedicana did not refuse this, but instead comforted him:
"You need not worry about being lonely. You can live in a volcano at the end of the world and use your divine power to weave knots and create some flame-related life forms to relieve your boredom."

"A creature that can live in the ocean at the ends of the earth and modify some ocean-related life to pass the time."

They both laughed heartily and said to Vedamo, "You can also create some beings related to death to amuse yourself, so that you can better collect corpses."

They chatted more and more happily until they reluctantly parted ways.

Before leaving, Agni suddenly suggested calling Vedic Ma's childhood name:

"Anu, you need to build a raft. Why don't Varuna and I help you build one? Consider it a gift from us, and it will accompany you on your eternal voyage!"

Vedicma agreed.

They spent seven days and seven nights weaving a living boat with knots, and imbued it with some of the divine power of fire and water using two divine artifacts.

Varuna said:
“Right now, we are still too weak. We don’t know how to use the divine artifacts we just obtained. In the future, you will pull your ship to the two ends of the world to find us. We will continuously help you upgrade your ship and add all kinds of new divine powers!” Vedama thought of the endless voyage he was about to embark on and couldn’t help but sigh: “When this ship is constantly having its parts replaced, will it still be the same ship in the end?”

All three of them suddenly fell silent.

They will face eternal punishment and an unknown future.

Aside from the mysterious and immortal god who is high above, who can live forever?

Even the mighty elephant Tuomo, who stands tall and vast, is nearing the end of his life.

They remarked with some emotion, "We'll probably be punished until the day we die of old age, won't we?"

“Why don’t we give this ship a name?” Agni suddenly suggested.

They began to rack their brains.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out:
"How about we call it the Ship of Theseus? It will embark on an eternal voyage, beginning a mysterious and legendary great adventure! Witnessing the epic waves of history!"

The three giants looked over and found a small, colorful butterfly hovering on a tree, having listened for an unknown amount of time.

“I remember you. You were on the Cangwu tree, accompanying the God of Immortality,” the three of them said in unison.

“That’s a good name for the ship,” Vedamo said. “And what is your name?”

Xu Changsheng has had many names in history, but now he has a name that fits the language: "My name is Naqi."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my new friend." The three of them burst into laughter.

"Haha, friends, see you in the future!"

“My two friends, I, Vedama, will be your messenger, delivering messages to you on my journey across the land!”

"That's great!"

They smiled at each other.

Accept the mission.

Bear the responsibility for the crime.

Three brave hearts collided at that moment, along with a new friend, the little butterfly Nachi.

Xu Changsheng was filled with unspeakable astonishment. He had witnessed everything, seen everything, this magnificent and astonishing story.

The origins of dementia.

The birth of male and female.

The story of stealing divine objects during God's afternoon nap.

Punishment at both ends of the world, and the Hound of Death
He had a premonition that the future would be very different from the three giants before him.

Let's make a promise!

"The heroes present will grow in the iron cradle, and after being freed from eternal punishment, we will visit the almighty god of longevity in the tree."

"Before that, the three of us will part ways and proceed alone in this sacred age."

When Xu Changsheng opened his eyes, he found himself back in the early morning of Rehe City, still somewhat dazed.

An uncontrollable thought surged through my mind.

"This memory will replace 'The Amber Swallowtail' and become a new fairy tale, spreading throughout this era."

He didn't want this story to be buried by history, and he also had his own selfish motives.

Each Confucian school of thought in this era had its own set of books, and each could create a new school of reading, such as reading "Mythological Stories".

And in the book
It is also an ancient deity, reborn in Rehe City.

It is perfectly justifiable for them to take up the banner and rise to prominence!

This could lead to the rise of a new school of thought dedicated to reading history and cultivating the spirit of the past, which could potentially give rise to something that could overturn this era.
