Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 495 The Turbulence of History

The path of civilization's progress has always consisted of only a few steps.

Explore, discover, improve, and break through.

The current ninth rank has already moved from discovery to perfection, and a breakthrough seems to be just around the corner!

"If there are no unforeseen circumstances, a truly perfect ninth-order civilization will emerge."

Xibo smiled slightly, not surprised by the result.

The power of the multiverse erupting every moment, when combined, is enough to overturn the entire world.

This is the power of God!
One can imagine what would happen without divine objects.
If these mortals were to attempt to break through on their own, the universe might be destroyed by them. It is extremely unlikely that they would discover that the Twelve Trial Universes are the conditions for their breakthrough.

"Every realm has conditions for breakthrough."

"Now, we have found the conditions for a breakthrough, which lies in the Twelve Trials."

Magalas thought for a moment, "Next, all we need to do is let more guinea pigs refine these multiverses of yours, which is indeed the will of Heaven!"

"It's rare to see you flatter me like this."

Xibo chuckled lightly, "Studying cultivation techniques is very important. Next, we will study the method of inhalation and exhalation. Let's call this method the Breathing Method."

"Breathing technique?"

Magalas asked.

"Yes, it would be best to modify the entire universe's boundaries so that everyone can get used to the cycle of inhaling and exhaling in advance."

The two chatted for a while, laying the foundation for future development.

time flies.

The multiverse has reached its 1000th anniversary.

After a long period of recuperation and rebuilding of the universe, they finally perfected the framework of each parallel universe.

The foundations of heaven and earth were only then restored.

It was at this time that a large number of ninth-tier, ninth-level powerhouses were born in various universes.

"Oh no, we failed again."

"The problem is, he inhales it but can't exhale it!"

Bang!
A parallel universe, therefore, exploded.

Upon seeing this, Xibo thought to himself, "I overestimated it. I originally thought that twelve people would be able to break through the twelve trials, but there are definitely not that many. With only twelve chances to try and fail, the possibility of failing all of them is not small!"

In other words, as a god, Xibo can create new parallel universes and is not afraid of these consumables.

otherwise.

For every breakthrough a mortal makes, they lose an entire simulated universe. Can they afford to lose that?

Xibo sighed inwardly and began to ponder, "What exactly is the Creator God? Why does he exist? Why are the divine objects he sent down so terrifying?"

However, Xibo also had some vague guesses.

You only need to reach a higher level, perhaps the tenth level, to understand the truth.

Because at the current ninth rank, there is already a divine spiral called the [Universal Divine Object].

At the tenth tier, will their universal divine artifacts undergo further qualitative changes? Will they become true divine artifacts?
"Closer, closer," Xibo thought to himself.

Another year.

Bang!
The universe is as brilliant as a constellation of stars.

A virtual, parallel universe of gods suddenly exploded like fireworks.

"He failed again. He was too nervous and rushed when he inhaled it and then exhaled, and it exploded."

"Nine levels and nine layers, it's already so difficult to absorb and release only 10% of the matter in the virtual miniature universe, what about the tenth level? What about absorbing the entire universe?"

Everyone felt immense pressure.

But pressure can be a driving force.

Compared to the previously incredibly confusing history of the universe, having a clear direction is already quite good.

Times change.

In the blink of an eye, another three thousand years have passed.

Xibo was nearly going crazy. "How could it be so slow?"

Compared to the era of development in the past, Xibo now feels extremely insecure.

Have I made another mistake?
Could this breathing technique be an incorrect ninth-level approach?
Xibo sighed inwardly, suddenly feeling a sense of unease throughout his body.

He's gotten old!

Withered skin, gray hair, and sunken eye sockets.

"Although I am only at the eighth level, how could I have reached this level in just a few thousand years?"

Xibo's fear reached its peak.

He then realized that perhaps it was his own magical object that had accelerated his aging.

His central call server received causal calls from the entire universe. The overwhelming causal influence became unbearable for him.

Fate has its side effects.

Theft has its side effects.

How could such a powerful artifact not have any side effects?
“How hateful.”

"I'm afraid it's the cause and effect of the three thousand universes. As a multidimensional god, I have to rule them at all times. Overworking has accelerated my aging."

Xibo discovered that his body was severely damaged, but it was too late, so he immediately sought new remedies.

His first reaction.

It is a divine object that grants immortality.

Immortality or rebirth—if one could obtain either, the problem of lifespan would be solved.

Any outrageous side effects of any magical object can be resolved by relying on it.

Soon after, he went to the God of Merchants to purchase the divine power of immortality and rebirth.

After paying a tremendous price, he finally obtained these two divine powers.
"Hahaha!"

"This is the power of youth!"

Xi Bo sighed and, after discovering that his body had regained its youth, he stopped paying attention to it.

He even more diligently ruled the multiverse, and as an emperor, he increased his workload by managing the telephone lines of various universes.

More causal threads are passing through him!
Bang!
Another cosmic explosion.

"Failed again!" Since discovering that his lifespan was coming to an end, Xibo had felt a sense of urgency, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not make any progress in overcoming this challenge.

Magalas offered him a suggestion: "Go find God; he is the most intelligent being in the entire universe." "No," Siborg said coldly, "He is only the second most intelligent being in the universe. The most intelligent is the universe itself; nature produces miracles that no intelligence can comprehend!"

Magalas shook his head.

Nature truly possesses wisdom that surpasses that of God.

But the wonders of nature are built upon exhaustive methods and the accumulation of countless hours.

But you
As the first god with a finite lifespan, do you have enough time?

Magalas then said, "Why don't we go find Surya? Surya is another form of God, and he is the third most intelligent person in the universe."

"That's equally impossible."

Xibo still refused.

They had already issued arrest warrants for the other party, and now they're suddenly begging for their help—that's incredibly foolish.

The Age of Multiple Myths, 5000.

Time flew by again.

During this period, the West accelerated the progress of civilization and even led to many golden ages.

In succession, renowned civilizations such as the "Magic Eye Civilization," "Redstone Technology," and "Star Core Emperor" emerged, spanning multiple dimensions of the cosmic map.

But all these civilizations perished at the last moment of their struggle.

It was only then that Xibo understood the ruthlessness of time.

To God, the changing of civilizations and even the most dazzling history will eventually fade away with the dust of time!
Most gods remain forever high above, overlooking the progress of humankind.

Only
He can't do it, Xibo!

Because he realized he was getting old.

Even immortality and rebirth cannot stop severe aging.

The God of Merchants himself told him, "The divine power I possess is diluted. Perhaps you should seek out the God of Longevity and have him personally use a true divine object to resolve your lifespan issue."

Xibo hesitated for a long time, but still went to find the God of Immortality.

But the immortal gods refused to let him in.
"The karmic entanglements on your body are too great. I live in seclusion and cannot afford to get involved."

Unable to even see the God of Immortality, Xibo was utterly enraged.

He had recorded the hatred of each of the previous gods: Magalas, the god of merchants, God, and the god of immortality.

"Then I'll find a way out myself!"

The Age of Multiple Myths, 5480.

Xibo decided to begin a massive era of slaughter.

He used the causal telephone to incite wars among various parties and used war to accelerate the progress of civilization.

The pressure of death is the driving force for breakthroughs!
The killing also led to a cosmic mass extinction, the likes of which have never been seen in the history of the universe.

There's a cosmic explosion almost every year!
Over the centuries, almost every one of the 3000 universes has exploded and been replaced once.

at last.

In the endless struggle for supremacy among civilizations, a gem race called the Crystal Kingdom rose to prominence, sweeping across multiple dimensions. Their king successfully broke through to the ninth level of the ninth-tier divine vortex!
"The Crystal Emperor has actually broken through the legendary realm! He has truly succeeded in absorbing 10% of the universe's domain!"

"Yes, the 10% of the universe that he spat out was actually stained with his color and supplied to his universal divine artifact—the Divine Vortex—for manipulation!"

"The Gem Clan, as expected of the great clan that originated from the history of the multiverse, actually produced such a monster. This universal divine artifact can turn 10% of the universe into territory. Isn't he a new god of the realm?"

"In my opinion, the potential of universal divine objects is no less than that of so-called true gods!"

Countless people are praising it.

After countless civilizations were shattered and countless universes were broken, humanity finally took this historic leap: the first nine-tiered, nine-level civilization in history!
And then suddenly on this day.

Suddenly, a gap was torn open in the sky, and an extremely powerful aura emanated from it, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

"King of the Multidimensional Universe, God of Faith, you truly cannot tolerate me?"

The Crystal Emperor laughed heartily, "Now that I have broken through and become the first mortal in history, I must slay the gods!"

No sooner had he spoken than Emperor Jing decisively took action.

This invincible, first and strongest hero of a multidimensional era, possesses an inner pride no less than that of Sibyl.

Xibo frowned. "A mere mortal, having merely broken through, thinks he can defy the gods?"

A cold voice descended from the sky, echoing throughout the land.

"The Great Emperor of the Crystal Kingdom on Earth has broken through the bottleneck of the era, and I have come to congratulate him. But the mortals on Earth are arrogant and attempt to kill a god. They should be punished!"

"war!"

A great war broke out.

The various telephone lines from over 3000 universes converged, intertwined, and overlapped, seemingly transforming into a massive will that was roaring wildly.

"Is this the might of Heaven? Is this the wrath of the gods?"

The Crystal Emperor mobilized 10% of his universe's surface area, spinning wildly, proclaiming, "The land of mortals is off-limits to gods!"

That 10% area of ​​the parallel virtual universe seemed to have become a giant millstone, relentlessly grinding away and resisting any divine power invading this area.

boom!
As the colossal cosmic millstone grinds away everything, countless multiverses collide, much like endless seawater crashing against reefs, relentlessly pounding against them.

Meanwhile, the Crystal Emperor, holding a strategic position, continuously resisted the might of Heaven.

"Damn it!" Xibo clearly sensed something was wrong when he saw this.

How could a mere mortal possibly withstand his divine might?
He appears to control telephone lines across 3000 universes, but his area is so vast that over 99.99% of the data transmitted over longer distances is consumed.

Therefore, the actual strength is not that much.

But this is absolutely not something an individual can resist, yet the opponent has occupied 10% of the universe as their domain.

If that's the case, then so be it.

Human strength is finite; the enemy can only hold out for an hour at most.

But the problem is, he's too old!

His body could no longer serve as a transit point to continuously absorb such severe side effects.

"If only there were a magic item to counteract fraud. A magic item like that would definitely greatly reduce this side effect."

"However, we can also kill them by force! It just takes a bit of effort."

Xibo cursed his bad luck, but he still held on and managed to kill Jingdi.

On this day, the entire territory was stained with blood.

Amidst the cries of countless people, they witnessed the might of Heaven.

History records that in the year 6091 of the Multiverse Mythology Era, the Crystal Emperor led mortals to slay the gods, but failed, the universe collapsed, and turned into the Abyss!
This scene also made everyone realize the invincible dominance of the god of faith!
