Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 113 The Competition and Celebration End

On the underworld.

Rippling waters, the clear and intoxicating wine gathers into a vast ocean.

All the boats and ships were sailing.

The various magicians, nobles, powerful figures, and even renowned scholars, including brewers, all moved about and exchanged ideas on the decks of each other's ships.

This place has become a hub for networking.

"But this sacred text is not open to just anyone."

Ella has ascended the Tower of Babel and arrived in heaven, where she is with God.

"The goddess of the sea has created an intoxicating trial, a sea of ​​intoxicating wine, where only the mighty heroes are worthy to come, or they will simply collapse drunk on the way!"

They arranged every single detail of the entire holy book!
Even if God doesn't say it, how could they not do it?

Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get close to this place and meet the gods.

What if some arrogant clowns make a fool of themselves? Wouldn't that be an offense against God?

They are very clever.

at this time.

Having departed from the group of gods who initiated the chariot torch race, four familiar mortals were present:
Anuvadhara.

Giants have long lifespans, but as a peak third-tier being, he hasn't broken through and is nearing the end of his life.

Rella.

Her two disciples were Thetis and Maria.

They are also mortals of the third rank, unable to become gods, and their future fate may not be too good.

Rella's two disciples couldn't help but speak out in defense of their master:
"They've all become gods and are excitedly participating in the competition. Even the Wind God lineage has produced four young candidates with potential surpassing even our teacher. But our teacher..."

"Don't say anything carelessly on such a happy day." Rella's feelings were somewhat complicated.

As younger generations surpassed her one after another, she could only stagnate.

Even she, who always considered herself upright and brave, couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

She believed herself to be no less powerful than any other in her life and had even saved an era, but now she was stuck in a rut, which dealt a heavy blow to her pride.

But she shook her head, silenced her two disciples, and said to God, “Master, your guess is correct. There are some evil gods who have been infected by evil and are secretly cultivating.”

"Found it?" Liu Jun sat in the chair and gave her an approving look.

"We found some clues."

Rella analyzed, "If I'm not mistaken, that guy doesn't want to take the right path either. He's preparing to take the shortcut to godhood quickly and has already secretly become your servant god!"

"It is cultivating [mystical] magic, preparing to become a god, and then rescuing the Origin Demon King."

Liu Jun was not surprised to hear this.

Even the gods of water and fire couldn't take that step on their own.

That Plague Demon King naturally had to follow the path of [Plague] + [Mystery].

The metal box next to it couldn't help but shout:
"In other words, by taking this path from God, it is destined to be under your command."

"Even if the Dark Demons win, even if they defeat the Angel Empire, as their subordinates, they can only serve you, corrupt you, and even usurp your power!"

Liu Jun was speechless. What was this metal box so excited about?
Don't think this is a good thing.

This is a classic case of "eating the food and then smashing the pot" (meaning doing something terrible).
I cultivate your mysticism, so naturally I cannot kill you.

Because once your mysterious calamity erupts, even you yourself will likely be in danger.

Even the Demon King needs a continuous infusion of mysterious magic to achieve godhood.

Having lost their mystique, their divine beings gradually lost their wisdom and ceased to obey them.

Their spiritual realm will fall, and they will revert from a god back to a mortal.

Therefore, they are bound to God.

They can only undermine this one God, and even try to corrupt him and demonize him.

The metal box realized its mouth was waving and quickly shouted:

"They are nothing but dark demons. Unless the gods find a more convenient path to godhood, no matter how powerful they are, they will not overthrow God's pantheon!"

"This is the destiny of an era. Only fate can defeat God, and only the trials of the future gods can prevail!"

"A certain trial of the gods brought about another pantheon, which was more helpful than [mysticism] in merging the power of divine objects, and that's why God disappeared with the times."

"God is invincible; only time can kill him!"

The metal box delivered a passionate speech, continuing its sycophantic flattery.

Liu Jun: "."

This kid is a real talent!
However, Rella's two apprentices, flattered by the metal box, felt even more powerful in God, their eyes brimming with worship.

Seeing these people gazing at God with reverence, the metal box felt an increasing sense of pride:
"You're surprised? Kids! Only time can kill God. But you don't know this at all! God is an immortal deity descended to earth, even time can't kill him, he is invincible!"

Pride resides in the heart.

Who else can understand?
The metal box, used as a prize gift box, makes the red bow on its chest even more vibrant!

"Yes, the outcome will have nothing to do with God; it can only be a war between the God of Light and the Demon King. This is an internal struggle among God's subordinates!"

Rella felt that her teacher, Box, was going off-topic, so she quickly corrected her, saying, "We've been looking for each other all these years, but the other person is very well hidden, like a shadow that can hide too well."

In this day and age.

The five elements, light and darkness, are basically complete, although the metal and wood elements are hidden in Liu Jun's hands.

In addition to wind, all eight attributes actually influence personality.

For example.

Those who cultivate the fire element tend to have a volatile and direct personality.

Cultivate a water-based personality, gentle as water.

The metal element is sharp and assertive, while the earth element is honest and steady.
However, these five elements are actually harmless.

The most influential elements of personality are light and darkness, which affect whether a personality is good or evil.

and so.

Light and darkness are above the Five Elements.

Like the Mysterious Ones, they possess some of the ability to coordinate other divine entities.

I used [Darkness] to corrupt your fire god nature, turning you into a fire evil god, so that we can all do bad things together. You won't end up joining my faction.
Of course, I can purify you with light and take you back!

and so.

Light and darkness are destined to be two major factions fighting each other under God's command.

If Liu Jun really is just God, then he might be afraid.

But he is not.

So, he chose to quietly observe the situation.

Next, he and Rella discussed the global landscape.

He explained his thoughts on the basic five elements and their light and darkness attributes to Rella one by one.

Rella agreed, and sighed even more, "Luckily, my brother took the [Light], otherwise it would have been a huge problem."

Thetis, standing nearby, sighed and said, "Master, your abilities are great, yet you have no chance to become a god."

"Some things are destined from birth. Perhaps a divine object suitable for you will appear in the future, but you will have already died."

Many powerful figures nearby sighed, "Some of our mortal heroes are more talented than some of the gods! Their martial arts are the best in the world, yet they can only grow old and die. How unfair is that?"

This is a tragedy of our times!

Some great heroes among mortals, even more powerful than gods, cannot become gods and can only slowly grow old and die.

Next, Liu Jun simply watched their discussion quietly, analyzing the current state of the world and the basic requirements for becoming a god.
Liu Jun, however, focused his gaze on his own sacred body.

The race was their business; they themselves received the blessings and protection of the gods, and were completely transformed.

I possess the elements of metal and wood.

Now, the blessings of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—have all come together!

There is also a separate wind, plus a light.

It's just missing the last dark spot.

Thinking of this, Liu Jun opened the [Demon Box] that the God of Light had placed here when he was running the race. "With this thing in addition, it should be enough."

He is a perfectionist.

The five elements, light and darkness, and now the final piece of the puzzle, darkness, has arrived.

Wow!
Liu Jun opened the box.

Endless darkness spread out, and inky, twisted shadows flowed out from the box.

He inhaled and exhaled the dark energy within, which condensed beneath his feet, becoming the shadow of God.

Liu Jun suddenly felt that his shadow had come to life and become a part of his sacred body!

It was as if a flaw in his body had been filled in, giving him a strange sense of comfort.

This shocked him somewhat:
"Xiang Tuomo's sacred body is purely physical, while my sacred body has become a convergence of elements?"

It was all jumbled together, and even Liu Jun couldn't quite understand it.

As long as it works, that's fine.

He tried it out and was instantly pleasantly surprised.

The five elements of light and darkness formed a subtle, cyclical halo around his body, and behind him, a ring of mysterious, supreme radiance: the Ring of God.

Rella and the others, who were discussing nearby, were shocked to see a mysterious halo appear behind God: "God, how did he manage to become stronger? Has he gotten even stronger?"

"The essence of the Holy Body is just a body. Once the body structure is perfect, how can it be changed casually? If it is changed, it should collapse!"

They could only feel that it was incredibly mysterious!
Their eyes held even greater reverence.

because
Fear is the oldest and most intense human emotion, and the oldest and most intense fear stems from the unknown, which originates from mystery.
The mysterious God, whose secrets are forever unknown.

It instilled in them a sense of inexplicable fear and awe, making them only able to look up at it!

Liu Jun ignored their gazes. God was a mysterious figure, which only made them more awe of him and made it easier for him to rule the era.

Instead, he continued to study the changes in his body.

The rate at which the body breaks down and dies is not as fast as before.

Previously, this body would die in a second.

Now, it's two seconds to die.

Don't underestimate the difference of just one second.

This doubles the lifespan, equivalent to reducing the resurrection energy consumption of Liu Jun's [Immortal and Unchanging] magic by a full 50%!

This is outrageous.

This also sparked an ambition in Liu Jun's heart:
"Now it's two seconds, then a minute, a day, a year, and eventually one day, won't it all become a truly eternal Holy Body of God?"

"Furthermore, if you throw all sorts of random things into this holy body, wouldn't it become omnipotent?"

"I'm afraid he might become an omnipotent God in the future."

He suddenly discovered that he had found a very interesting way to construct the Holy Sacrament.

Everyone else was building a sacred body. Even a 1% mismatch between organs would result in instant death. Take Butterfly Heart as an example; the heart just couldn't be integrated at the last moment!
What about Liu Jun? He first created the finished product, then studied the manufacturing process; he shot the arrow first, then drew the target!

After the Holy Body was constructed, it was modified and the repulsive force was adjusted time and again, which significantly improved its efficiency.

A slight smile appeared on his lips:
"Improve it, keep improving it!"

"As God, I have reached the pinnacle in this era. Before I die of old age and fall, my mission is to perfect this divine body."

He had a premonition.

This body of God is so perfect that it can blend all kinds of powers, making it most suitable to serve as His fundamental sacred body!
If he succeeds, it will not have been in vain for him, the creator god, to descend to earth and make his journey in the human world!
Liu Jun went into seclusion, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

This banquet lasted for a full six months.

The torch relay is becoming increasingly intense.

I heard they each used their unique skills.

The sea goddess used rain to try to extinguish the enemy's torch.

The Earth Giantess arrived in a valley ahead of time and built a "rolling stone" trap on the mountain, intending to make the opponent fall down and then extinguish the opponent's torch.

They all made the most of their abilities.

But they don't fight; they use wits and courage, which embodies the Olympic spirit!

But how vast is this land?

Even for them, the race eventually turned into a test of endurance.

As Vulcan gradually weakened, he had to absorb the heat from the flames of each volcano to replenish his strength.

Wherever the water god goes, he drains the river to replenish his body's water.

Gradually, the two gods of water and fire began to become the last two.

On the contrary, the four candidates for wind god who had not yet become gods, but who wielded the divine artifact of wind, rode the wind and inhaled the wind power in the air, and fought their way to third place.

Instead of becoming a god, he defeated the gods.

This is a natural advantage, which is a great asset in this speed race.

The second place goes to the Earth-type Female Titan, whose feet are planted on the ground, providing her with unlimited stamina.

The first place goes to the God of Light, Rex, whose power is well-deserved.

He can replenish his energy as long as there is light.

soon.

The outcome has been completely decided.

At the end of the Tower of Babel, three victorious gods arrived.

The moment they crossed the finish line, God was already waiting at the end, smiling gently and watching them quietly.

Crash.

The gift box bound with the cross-shaped butterfly rope of God's Box was opened.

Three of the Holy Grails—one gold, one silver, and one bronze—flew out, trailing beautiful ribbons, and landed in the hands of the three victors.

God said:

"You deserve this!"

Wow!
The next moment, amidst a deafening roar of cheers, people praised the three kings.

This concludes the holy ceremony for the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven.
