Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 98 The Birth of the Underworld Sea and the River Styx
The following morning, Rehe City.

Liu Jun spent the night studying in the Duke's mansion and then had breakfast.

I'm getting ready to play games again.

There's no other way; mushroom farming and sand table simulations are just part of the job.

Gaming is life.

Those games that scholars make are so much fun!
Books like "The Seventh World War" and "The Fatal Crisis in the Bohai Sea" are like opening up my own game library.

Have fun!

You can also truly experience the history that has happened in this world.

The scholars in this world have it so good; they can read exciting novels and play games to improve their skills every day.

Anyway, he'll probably get addicted for a while, and he won't get tired of it even after several weeks.

During the day, Liu Jun continued to play the "Creation Elephant Tuomo" dungeon, earning a little money and acquiring some skills while playing, before returning home to cultivate his own mushroom world.

This time, he met a beautiful and wealthy woman.

She identifies herself as: Xiaoli.

The name sounds rustic, but after playing a few games...

Then the other party revealed their true colors: "God, I have finally seen you."

Liu Jun was still fiddling with the staff in his hand. "You went to a lot of trouble to find me?"

He noticed it from the very beginning.

The opponent has a technique to conceal their presence, but how could they possibly compare to me, the ancestor who has vanished without a trace?

He could tell at a glance that the other party's realm was: fourth level, sixth layer.

They are a few minor realms higher than me.

“My lord, I am willing to follow you.” Hot Carp got straight to the point, “You have been reborn in this era, which presents many inconveniences.”

Back then, there were five brothers and sisters from the butterfly clan on the Cangwu tree.

In this era, she will also become one of the brothers and sisters of the Cangwu Tree in this age.

The abacus was being struck loudly.

Hot Li said, "Whether it's a distant past memory or a real parallel world, I also want to travel to that beautiful mythical era, just like those dozen or so researchers!"

"You are not sincere."

Liu Jun glanced at him indifferently, "There are countless people in this world who would follow me."

To be honest, he was fearless.

He has vanished without a trace, and we can't catch him at all.

Perhaps, this ordinary person's fake fourth-tier skill is no match for this real fourth-tier saint, Hot Carp!
However, I'm growing too fast.

If the other side keeps stopping, it will inevitably be left behind.

"In everything in this world, what you receive and what you give are equal. Think carefully about what you can offer the next time we meet."

Liu Jun decisively logged off, leaving behind this dazed hot carp.

Give them a good talking-to and test their limits.

To assess the other person's moral character.

Liu Jun sincerely hoped that she would be a traitor who brought the UFO flying butterfly into the village, revealing the secrets of your big company and providing various benefits and resources.

Ok.

I'll play this client game again tomorrow.

The Grand Duke's Palace.

Liu Jun ate the dinner served by the maid with elegance.

"What happened outside while I was in seclusion?" Liu Jun asked.

The metal box muttered something:
"A lot of things happened, for example, everyone rebuilt the city, and angels ruled the whole earth."

"The dragon has gone into hiding and moved to an island in the sea."

"The elves suffered the most heavy losses. They wanted to find the ancestral land of the butterfly race and cultivate more Trees of Life, but their fertility has decreased."

Liu Jun listened quietly.

He didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the elves.

Even with the loss of 80% of the ancient elven trees, the birth rate has dropped to 20%.

From a long-term perspective, the elves are a tree-based race, known for their longevity, even surpassing that of dragons.

However, in terms of individual combat strength, it is similar to that of angels and sirens.

The lower reproductive rate of elves is a small balance.

Giants are the strongest fighters, but they have low birth rates, significantly lower intelligence, and are simple and honest.

The protagonists of an era can never be giants.

But undeniably, they are very useful, for example, for carrying out various large-scale imperial projects.

Dragons are theoretically the most perfect creatures, with long lifespans, average fertility, and formidable combat power.

pity.

We just can't win.

If your fertility is average, you can't snowball your success.

"The most interesting thing is that the ocean you and the Ocean Goddess created together has gathered the two great divine powers of [mystery] and [ocean currents], and has been called comparable to the [Sea of ​​Milk and Rope] created by the ancient elephant Thubten."

Upon hearing this news, Liu Jun couldn't help but ask, "What's the name of that ocean now?"

"The Dark Sea".

The metal box says:
"Because it is full of all kinds of magical potion creatures, just like the magical forest you built in the manor."

In the magical forest, even the grass sings.

That ocean is probably about the same. I heard the seaweed even did a hula dance.

The corals built a labyrinth to test the brave adventurers.

These are all good ingredients for making various mystical potions.

"I've heard that even Anu, the giant in charge of burials, is planning to build a river so that the waters of the River Styx will flow into his bottomless pit of death."

That's where the bodies are buried.

But as the number of dead on this land increased and gradually piled up, there was no place left to pile up the corpses.

He planned to use the River Styx to ferment and freeze the corpses.

It turns out that this dark, jelly-like ocean can indeed absorb nutrients from corpses.

From then on, the bodies of all living beings who die will be thrown into the bottomless abyss at the end of the River Styx.

"How about we go for a walk?"

Just then, the Amber Swallowtail suddenly called out, "These past few days, Rex and Rella have come looking for you many times."

Liu Jun nodded, "Then let's go out for a bit."

On this land, the times are changing rapidly, and there are different changes every day.

The magic grew stronger and stronger.

Mystery became the primary school of magic.

The next most numerous elements are light, water, fire, earth, and finally wind.

Liu Jun began taking the Phoenix Emperor on trips to various cities.

Green shade collar.

Liu Jun returned to this place and found that the entire city had been completely rebuilt, with only faint traces of the old days remaining.

The metal box sighed, "Back then, I was born here. Every day, I would go with Lord Phoenix to the Angelic Tavern, which was just two streets away, to listen to music and hear them tell mythical stories of heroes."

Phoenix Emperor said, "The beautiful and charming owner of the Ella Tavern is very hospitable. Many men stare at her with their eyes practically popping out."

"It's a pity that she didn't escape when Green Shade was in trouble. She was clearly a very, very good boss."

They sighed.

They stayed in Greenfield for three days, reminiscing about the past and visiting the manor where they used to live.

They then continued on to the next city.

On a desolate road, countless farmers driving horse-drawn carts passed by.

The twilight glow suddenly filled the sky and the earth.

Looking up at the sky, a huge figure was moving among the vast and majestic mountains in the distance.

Countless grooms were stunned:
"Ah, that's a giant!?"

"His feet were bigger than the valley, dragging enormous iron chains that pulled a ship taller than a mountain, laden with corpses—giants, angels, elves."

"He is a great sinner punished by the old gods, and he is collecting corpses!"

Only a century has passed, and a new generation of young lives has arrived, and the world seems to have changed again.

Although they had heard the myths, they were stunned for a moment before they could react.

"Why would the ancient god of immortality order him to collect the corpses?"

"You haven't seen what it's like when Titans fall. Their bodies rot, gradually swell, becoming gigantic, and finally explode, spraying blood and flesh across the entire mountain range. It's a truly terrifying sight!"

"I've heard that he's good! While God was taking his midday rest, he stole the elephant Thomo's treasures to save the tribes on earth."

Liu Jun led the Phoenix Emperor through carriages, occasionally glancing at the giant Anu in the distance.

It seems he's taking the punishment very seriously.

Continue.

He traveled to many regions and met many new magical tribes.

Finally, Liu Jun set foot in the royal city of the Holy Empire, a huge mythical city surrounded by countless circular city walls in the shape of the Chinese character "回" (hui).

Standing atop the high city wall, Liu Jun looked down at the streets below, where angels, elves, and siren appeared.
The city looked incredibly magnificent.

Elegant angels played the accordion in the fountain square.

The adorable elves are dancing in grass skirts and singing exotic songs in their elven language.

Liu Jun sighed inwardly.

Only a little over a hundred years have passed.

A vibrant new era is dawning.

The people in a time are constantly changing, and one era after another passes by.

The four kings of the earth have their own stories and legends: Insect Thirteen, Elephant Domo, New Barth, and now the Angel Emperor Rex.

They entered the palace.

Liu Jun saw that the little boy who used to follow him around chasing after the metal box had become a majestic and imposing emperor.

He has six pairs of wings and holds the divine artifact of light—the Scepter of Light. He is already the greatest and most majestic holy king of this land.

The second generation of the Holy Empire's Angel Emperor.

"Teacher, welcome back." A long-lost smile finally appeared on Rex's tired face.

They sat down together at the dinner table again.

Rex also had many adorable children, quite a few little round angels, who clung to the metal box and asked questions everywhere.

"Are you the legendary Grand Duke of the Empire, the one who supposedly wields the mysterious God?"

“You are my father’s master, the great mage Li Wei!”

"Ahhh, this box, is it the legendary God's Secret Box, containing endless mysteries?"

Hearing the praise, the metal box beamed with joy: I have my own name now! I am destined to become a legend!
