Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Perhaps if Rainbow were to encounter that Dark Temple messenger again, she could handle him alone. She wonders if that person is still alive; even if he is, he should have been sealed underground with the Dark God and other deities.

Holding the broken staff in her hand, Xu Jiawei looked at the quest again; the quest had now changed.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for completing the first step of the Goddess of Light's last wish, bringing the Divine Seed back to reality. You have received 20000 experience points and 1 Golden Treasure Chest.]

[Ding! The second step of the mission has been initiated: complete planting the seed and bring it to the world. (No time limit)]

The mission is complete?

Xu Jiawei looked at the worried crowd and said, "My mission is complete. Have your missions been completed?"

The group then opened their system panels. Li Ming was quite surprised to see that his task was marked as completed, and quickly asked, "Sis, what happened? Did you complete it?"

"I guess so, it's a long story..." Xu Jiawei told everyone about her experience of returning to the past, and she still felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

"Sis, you mean you went back to the past? That's unbelievable!" Li Ming's voice was very excited. He was about to ask something else when Bai Yu pulled him back.

Because Xu Jiawei was in a very bad state after returning, and it was obvious that she was in a very bad mood, wouldn't Li Ming asking her more questions at this time just provoke her?

Zhang Yunting knew Xu Jiawei looked terrible, but since this matter concerned the life and death of the world, he still asked, "What did you experience there? Can you tell us? If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine." After all, it was a very painful experience, Zhang Yunting thought to himself as he looked at Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei nodded and then said, "You can just ask if you want. I'm just in a bad mood, not because I've been upset."

"I saw the evil god. The God of Light, together with the other gods, sealed the evil god underground at the cost of their own lives. By the way, the way the evil god tempted people to become demonized humans was by using potions that could increase their level as a lure to deceive them and attract them to join the temple."

Xu Jiawei immediately shared this important news, and then continued, "I suspect that he will use the same method to attract people to join them later, so we need to be prepared."

This one trick alone has accurately grasped the weaknesses of human nature. I wonder if these players can withstand it.

Thinking of the indignant "believers" surrounding the temple, Xu Jiawei sighed. If believers could betray their own god for the sake of upgrading potions, what about the players who had no faith?

Xu Jiawei didn't dare to think about it too much, so she opened the system panel again and found that only an hour had passed between when she left and when she returned, but she had clearly been there for several days.

"Only an hour has passed?" Xu Jiawei murmured to herself. Si Yunming sighed when he heard this. They were already so anxious after only an hour. He didn't even want to imagine how crazy he would become if it were a few days.

Xu Jiawei looked at the three-day countdown on the mission panel, which was still ongoing. She glanced at the familiar location and, since she had three days to stay, decided to find the Temple of Light buried underground.

Before she left, she witnessed the Temple of Light sink into the ground and rise up to form a mountain, which is the one she was standing on. A wisp of dark energy sank directly down with the Temple of Light, which gave her a reasonable explanation for why there was dark energy in this place.

After all, it was Xu Jiawei who saw it with her own eyes.

After sharing his idea with the others, Zhang Yunting was the first to agree. He was also very anxious and felt a sense of urgency, as the situation they would face in the future might be even more severe than Xu Jiawei had described.

We cannot allow the evil god to break the seal. We must delay it as long as possible and give them enough room to grow.

Xu Jiawei stuck her staff into a gem in the room. The gem emitted a dazzling light, followed by a violent tremor. The surrounding walls began to collapse, and the tremors became even more intense.

Li Ming quickly took out a protective talisman and shielded the group inside the protective shield. The vibration lasted for a full ten minutes before gradually weakening. Xu Jiawei stood still, leaning on the staff, while Li Ming had already been shaken to the ground. Si Yunming maintained his balance with the giant sword on his back, Zhang Yunting half-squatted on the ground, and Bai Yu stood still with the shock-absorbing bead. Of the five, only Li Ming was lying on the ground without any regard for his image.

Li Ming felt like crying. Why were they all so handsome? It made him look like a clown. Li Ming was even more saddened to realize that he seemed to be just a comedic character in this team.

Li Ming secretly vowed that he would definitely become the most handsome man in the team. First, he had to surpass Zhang Yunting, and then he would find a way to surpass Brother Three Points.

Li Ming silently got up from the ground; he was the only one among everyone who looked disheveled.

After the tremors completely subsided, Xu Jiawei flew out and saw that the entire mountain had almost collapsed. On the original site of the mountaintop, a dazzling temple had appeared. This temple was very familiar to her; it was the temple where Xu Jiawei had lived for a period of time in the past.

The temple still looked the same as before. Xu Jiawei walked in with ease. The first thing that caught her eye was the huge statue. This time, there was no dark aura on the statue. The wisp of black energy was not attached to the statue.

Xu Jiawei walked around the statue and into the inner hall. She first entered the room where she used to live. The furnishings inside the room were unchanged, just as they were when Xu Jiawei left.

When Xu Jiawei arrived at the place where the herbs were kept, her brows furrowed involuntarily. She quickly looked through the prescriptions and found that they looked like they had been destroyed by something, all messed up. Some of the prescriptions that hadn't been destroyed had been altered beyond recognition. If one were to actually make the medicine according to the altered prescriptions, an explosion would be the least of their worries.

Xu Jiawei then collected and destroyed these prescriptions to avoid misleading others, and then looked at the compartment where the herbs were stored.

As soon as Xu Jiawei took out the herbs, a repulsive smell emanated from them.

"Sis, we've struck it rich! So many herbs we've never seen before!" Li Ming said, wanting to collect them all and give them to Xu Jiawei so his sister could make potions.

Others wanted to help, but Si Yunming stopped them.

"Don't move! These herbs have a dark aura; using them will corrupt you!" Xu Jiawei shouted.

Li Ming instantly threw the herbs in his hand away, which scared him to death.

The herbs thrown on the ground seemed to know they had been discovered, and transformed into a black mist that rushed straight towards Li Ming, who was closest to it.

Li Ming immediately rolled away to dodge. He was no longer the same person he used to be, and dodging the attack of the black mist was more than enough for him. However, after he dodged, the black mist relentlessly pursued him, chasing him around in all directions, as if it had identified him as its target.

Li Ming, being chased, screamed and cried, "Sister, help me!"

Xu Jiawei used a Bright Purification spell, and the black mist was instantly purified and vanished without a trace.

"Back off!" Xu Jiawei said, and instantly used Light Purification to cover all the herbs in the area. In the end, the herbs turned into black mist and were purified by Xu Jiawei.
