Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 75 Embarking on a Hero's Journey

Of the five butterfly clans that rose to prominence in the trees back then, which one was simple?
The eldest brother, Dieluxiang, was skilled in studying divine objects, so he pioneered a path to godhood and descended the mountain with three divine objects to save the world.

Die Luxin was skilled at weaving clothes and was an extremely beautiful empress.

She was in charge of the clothing and aesthetics of the entire butterfly tribe, studying new clothes every day and holding aesthetic banquets.

Now, it actually coincides with the era of the saint's body being woven.

The Butterfly Clan, 346.

She called upon all tribes to jointly study the construction and research of the sacred body, and none dared to disobey.

"Not enough, not enough, their research speed is still too slow."

In the past, those cold and ruthless single-brained beings were ten times faster than them.

They are now indulging in pleasure and wasting too much time.

Dielüxin decided to impose tyranny, oppress all people, and use the power of the world to serve her own purposes.

Thus came a dark age.

Previously, the Butterfly Clan was carefree and joyful; they wove only out of interest.

I knit when I feel like it, otherwise I play around for ten days or more in a row.

"Waaah! No, I want to play, I want to play!"

On the grassland, an innocent little angel was crying loudly.

He originally wanted to play angel ball with his friends, but he was captured by the angel guards and forced to build a holy ruin.

"Working three hours a day and only getting two days off in seven days is too cruel."

Upon hearing the work schedule, one of the elves was so angry that he was trembling on the elf tree.

"How can there be such a tyrant in this world? This is the most evil being in our Butterfly Clan."

"Who invented the assembly line? Life woven in this way has no soul."

Soon, they were arrested for protesting.

She revised the new laws.

She even punished those who insulted her with double the punishment, forcing them to work six hours a day.

Those who insulted him twice in a row were punished along with their entire families.

The system of collective punishment is implemented, requiring the entire community to work six hours a day.

The world was filled with fear.

Hearing the name of that tyrant makes even children cry and their hearts break.

In this simpler era, this was already an act of tyranny.

Time passed, in the temple of Elephant Dhamma.

"Not enough, still not enough."

Seeing the elephant, Tuomo, heading straight for death, Dielui Xin could no longer hold back.

On the ancient Chinese parasol tree, a footless bird flew up to the tree:

"God, please help me."

It was much smaller than Ganesha, and built a huge bird's nest on the top of the Cangwu tree.

The Cangwu tree has been transformed into a nest for a Vermilion Bird.

Liu Jun didn't care about this. It was like building a helipad on the roof, which was better than Ganesha not being able to return to the Cangwu Tree.

"God, there's not enough time, he's going to die."

The giant bird's cries echoed from its nest, tears streaming down its face like a waterfall from the treetop. "I was already so fast, so hard-working."

"Tell me about it."

The God of Immortality descended the steps of the temple step by step, and fell silent for a moment.

Some things cannot be achieved simply through effort.

Liu Jun quietly watched the weeping, legless bird.

Her talent is extraordinary, but how could a single generation of people achieve the body of a saint?

Even Liu Jun was already doing his best to help.

Every day I wander through various "books," collecting their wisdom to nourish my world.

"It's clearly just one step away; those saintly organs are already complete, but problems will arise when they're fused together."

She sobbed as she continued to recount her story.

"Sigh." Liu Jun sighed softly, the joy of having just received a huge fortune quickly fading away.

Are they leaving too?

They were the first companions of their lives, born in the most primitive cave winter of the Butterfly Clan. They witnessed the most glorious era of the Angel Dynasty, as well as the fall of the angels and the arrival of disaster.

He slowly closed his eyes, pondering how to solve the problem.

"Back then, I did my best to help with the Angel Emperor's last wish. How could I not help with yours now?"

but.

I am not truly omniscient and omnipotent.

With limited means, what can I do?

Death is not something he can change.

Liu Jun suddenly thought of something.

His consciousness left the mushroom soup and entered the public network's sea of ​​consciousness, arriving at the most essential book, "The Last Supper."

This place has been joined by the core teams of ten companies to conduct the final research on the sacred human body.

He looked at the top researchers in the book:
"A dozen or so second- or third-tier beings? They can be easily hypnotized." They vanished without a trace, disappearing without a sound.

Open the mushroom soup.

Crash.

Their vision blurred and then brightened; they, like Xu Changsheng, drifted off to sleep.

"I'll borrow your time for one night to help me advance the times, study the sacred body you are researching, revive Elephant Monk, and when you wake up, you'll think it was all just a dream."

Time is long.

The group of researchers who came in dreamed that they were butterflies from the Jurassic period.

I think about it every day and dream about it at night.

They drifted aimlessly among the research tribes of various ethnic groups, continuing their research according to their own desires.

They each used their own unique talents, and the names they chose were entirely arbitrary.

"It's done, a major breakthrough."

Finally, ten years later, the entire land took on a completely new look, and butterfly wings fluttered down from the trees:
"Leave the rest to me."

Thus began the myths and legends of creation.

In the distant future.

Humans open books, and the sound of reading aloud comes from the classroom.

[Legend has it that Elephant Dhamma was cursed with folly. His wife, who loved him deeply, leaped from a tree and transformed into a tireless, footless bird, beginning her search for a way to save him.]

[After developing a left and right brain, a completely new body is needed for it to function properly.]

So she embarked on a journey to create a body.

She first arrived at the center of the world, the Ocean of Milk and Rope, just as Agni and Varuna on the north and south sides met.

[Vedamara, pulling a huge raft, cheered them on from the sidelines.]

Having heard the purpose of the footless bird's visit, and out of gratitude to Xiangdomo and the immortal deity, the two decided to help her.

"On this new moon day, we will give birth to a baby for you amidst our entanglement, and bestow upon you the blessings of fire and water."

"But you have to fill it with all sorts of organs. You must collect all the organs within three months, or the body will die."

Soon, an infant's body appeared in the Sea of ​​Milk.

Veda said, "I will be your boatman, transporting the other organs to help you complete this great mission."

Legend has it that the footless bird first flew to a strange tribe that consisted entirely of long snakes.

Here, the long snake lies on the ground, winding and crawling, like a thin, soft rope that stretches endlessly along the Baling Mountains.

The leader's name is Ba Hui, an experimental genius who enters dreams.

He immersed himself in the era, becoming a part of it, and upon witnessing the arrival of the footless bird, he felt deeply dissatisfied with her oppression:
"I have fulfilled your request. I can use my life to weave the organ you want, the intestine."

"But you must be like Elephant Thomo of old, and use your courage to conquer our tribe and pass our test."

"Come on! Prove that you are a mythical hero for whom we would give our lives!"

"You must enter through our mouths, navigate the winding maze, and finally find the exit."

The footless bird agreed and entered through the giant snake's mouth.

This trial was composed of countless snakes, their bodies branching and interconnected. She spent more than ten days in the maze, still circling in the same spot.

Along the way, she saw flocks of sheep thriving in the maze, green grass, ponds and depressions, forming an internal ecosystem.

This is Ba Hui's flock of sheep.

"Flock of sheep, where is the exit?"

The sheep told her, "We don't know the exit."

She went through all sorts of hardships, but was still stuck in the same place.

In her despair, she suddenly remembered what the sheep had said: the sheep didn't know where the exit was because they would be digested by the giant snake once they reached it.

You only need to find the path without sheep flocks to find the exit of the maze.

But it's still not enough.

Soon, she turned back again and again, asking the sheep at different forks in the road.

In the south, she saw various animal colonies.

To the north, she saw the parasites in the maze.

She looked back again and again, drawing a maze-like ecological distribution map based on their habits.

"It turns out that simply moving forward will only lead to stagnation."

"Only by looking back time and time again can we truly move forward and find the real exit."

Ultimately, based on the effects of the biome, she deduced the true exit and walked out step by step, seeing endless light.

On this day, the bird without feet entered the snake's mouth as food and exited through the snake's tail.

She saw the exit, where the snake's tail was, and there was a mountain of white bones.

"you made it."

Ba Hui said, "Only by looking back can you find the exit. If you suddenly look back, you will find that there is actually a path forward behind you."

Therefore, all intestines are loops.

It offered its most loyal advice:
“Take your leave now. You cannot succeed. The road to resurrection is arduous. You can become a king of an era now instead of choosing the path of death.”

"This is the only thing I will not turn back on." The footless bird finally understood.
