Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 84 A Great Harvest! Mastering Magic
The people who had spontaneously gathered under the Cangwu tree were filled with sorrow and wept loudly.

Liu Jun watched this scene quietly.

"The world has lost another person I care about."

His eldest disciple is the true spirit and essence of the Butterfly Clan.

He preserved the customs of the Butterfly Clan's ancestral land, ensuring their continued beauty.

Liu Jun had no idea what the future held for this land of the five races after the loss of Hercules.

But the relentless march of time could not be stopped even by him.

The future can only be left to fate; we should wait and see how things unfold.

"Everyone go back."

The voice of the gods rolled and echoed, covering the land around the Cangwu tree.

The mountains, forests, and basins there were already densely packed with all sorts of funeral processions.

May the world be with you!

The giant pulling the ship slowly hoisted the enormous chains onto his back and turned to leave step by step.

The other people also left in silence.

They presented each of them with a ribbon, gently tossing it into the air.

Under the sunlight, it looked as if a huge rainbow had been drawn across the sky.

The sky at this moment is absolutely beautiful.

This rainbow lasted for three whole days.

The fluttering ribbons traveled across oceans, crossed mountains and rivers, and arrived in distant kingdoms.

After they had all dispersed, Liu Jun looked at the butterfly clan members around him and said, "Leave this statue of the Elephant God by the tree."

"Yes."

The butterfly red fungus said:

“We have already created statues that can spread his power and are scattered across this land.”

"All people under heaven need to cultivate the Elephant God's Knight System as their foundation."

Die Mingren, who was usually taciturn, suddenly spoke up:
"We shouldn't cry, we should laugh. Our eldest brother and second sister have both fulfilled their dreams and are as beautiful as real butterflies. We should bless them."

They all understand this principle.

But they still couldn't suppress the sadness in their hearts.

Parting is always accompanied by endless sadness.

As they moved, the enormous statue was erected beside the Cangwu tree, and the entire earth trembled slightly.

"The Butterfly Clan should retire completely. From now on, we at Cangwu Tree will not accept outsiders," the God of Immortality said in a low voice.

His voice echoed across the land, catching up with his departing people.

The words fell.

His disappearance began to permeate this land.

This will prevent them from finding the exact location here.

Some people didn't believe in superstitions and went back to look for it, but they couldn't find the location of the Cangwu tree anywhere, even though it had just been there.

"God, are you also abandoning us?" Some of the people were terrified and knelt down on the ground.

Disappearance is a result of the power of mental shielding.

—How can one see the world without breaking through the spirit within one's heart?
They can only find this place if their Nen power becomes extremely strong.

Inside the room, Liu Jun opened his eyes.

It was already morning outside the window.

The weather is nice today; the rain can't stop the bright sunshine.

It's like a hazy, misty sun shower, exuding a unique beauty.

"What a beautiful day!"

Liu Jun looked down at the pedestrians coming and going from the windowsill. After watching the busy office workers for a while, he returned to his bedside.

He reached out and grabbed a handful of mushrooms from the soup.

A magic crystal staff appeared in his hand, and he waved it lightly.

Streaks of light kept flashing by.

An invisible force of thought lifted up the tables and chairs in the room, causing them to float and tumble in the air.

"The staff they made is quite good, considering their skill level."

A slight smile appeared on Liu Jun's lips.

The essence of the magic crystal is a third brain, the pineal gland, which can store psychic energy.

When it comes to fighting, it's like having a battery in advance, and its strategic significance is self-evident.

"It feels like this magical weapon, although it's only just started developing, has potential that's no less than the mecha next door."

"It's just that mine is made of biological materials, while his is made of mechanical materials."

Leaving aside the magic crystals, even the staff's handle comes from the Tree of Life. In short, all the materials are from extraordinary biological sources.

He played with the scepter for a while, indulging in his fantasy of being a great magician, before starting the next test:
Wind magic.

"Blade of Wind".

Wow!
The psychic energy seemed to possess attributes, and a wind blade appeared.

The wind blades seemed to slice through the entire room.

But the next second, Liu Jun used his psychic energy to shield the wind blades, using the simplest and most brutal principle of forceful brick-throwing.

Click, click, click!
It's like a saw blade hanging on metal, the blade gradually coming to a stop.

"It turns out that magic can be used in real life too."

He then tested the light magic, and although it was just a small ball of light, he was quite satisfied.

Although we are currently in the early stages of an era.

There aren't many spells of each element yet, but they are definitely fun to use.

This is a power beyond telekinesis!
Nen energy is equivalent to transparent soul energy without attributes.

It comes with its own attributes, has many variations, and has unlimited potential.

"It turns out that I can use this method to harness the power of the mushrooms in the mushroom soup."

"Although I didn't manage to exchange for the mushrooms in the mushroom soup, I can use magic to store the power of these mushrooms and then release it."

However, these spells are almost entirely consumable.

After all, just like one's own innate longevity, it needs periodic blessings and protection to maintain.

The power of the wind and light mushrooms that I empowered myself will be gone once it's used up.

After taking stock of the spoils, Liu Jun was quite satisfied.

This was truly a great explosion of civilization.

After the Age of Creation, the Age of Systems accumulated strength and then unleashed its power, first with the Sacred Body, then with Magic Crystals, then with Magic, and finally with Bloodline Knights.

The world's extraordinary environment began to mature in just over a hundred years, marking what can be called the first extraordinary Big Bang.

Elephant Monk is truly powerful!
He ignited his own life, propelling the era forward with tremendous force.

Although his approach was not cost-effective, he would have gained much more by truly ruling for thousands of years.

"But these things cannot be forced."

When Liu Jun opened the door, he saw Li Feng and Zou Anmeng already sitting in the living room, and suddenly felt as if he had been in another world.

"Aren't you going to school today?" Liu Jun sat down on the sofa.

"Yes, starting today, we're both planning to skip school and stay home to prepare for the college entrance exam," Li Feng said excitedly.

Seeing that this guy wasn't explaining why, but was just excitedly chattering away, Liu Jun couldn't help but look at Zou Anmeng.

Zou Anmeng also said:
"Things are changing too fast now. We've also acquired a second-tier AI, and we've been using it for training lately, so going to school is pointless."

"At most, I'll go to school every few days to check my brain health in the school clinic and go to music class to relieve the fatigue from studying."

Liu Jun nodded, acknowledging that he had created the butterfly effect himself.

Ok.

A real butterfly.

As they talked, the three of them started eating breakfast together without any qualms.

Since they weren't going to school anymore, getting food became a problem for the three of them.

Liu Jun and his two friends decided to go shopping at a supermarket together and buy some ingredients so they could cook for themselves later.

This could be considered a small gathering for them.

Upon arriving at the supermarket, they selected some genetically modified vegetables.

Vegetables and meat were very cheap in this era.

Even though Rehe City is plagued by acid rain, making it impossible to grow vegetables and raise livestock, and all vegetables have to be transported from outside, they are still very cheap.

The steak is also cut with only two knives per pound.

Compared to a first-order AI with tens of thousands of mental blades, it can only be said that, just like in the old days, mortgage payments are always far exceeding the level of daily living expenses.

They strolled around the supermarket, stopping and starting, occasionally laughing and chatting, gossiping about school. Liu Jun also felt a long-lost sense of peace.

"The college entrance exam is in a month."

"Let's all try a little harder."

Back home, the three of them started washing vegetables and cooking. Suddenly, the news started playing on the TV in the living room.

The King of Angels is preparing to establish a church to teach mind magic to the students of Rehe City.

Liu Jun, who was cooking in the kitchen, was completely bewildered when he heard this: ???
What the hell is mind magic?
You're also planning to build a statue and spread your "Deep Affection Doesn't Last" message.

As Liu Jun chopped the vegetables in his hands, he couldn't help but complain inwardly:

This place is also part of my sandbox world?
They've all started helping me with the work and figuring out my mushroom cultivation system.
