Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 91 Mystical Potions, New Bar's Visit

The world situation is constantly changing.

Liu Jun sat quietly in the noble manor, occasionally listening to news from outside.

After failing to obtain the earth-elemental artifact, the Angel King Newbal fought another battle with the Dragon King, and it is said that both were seriously injured.

The two sides engaged in open and covert struggles, becoming mortal enemies.

This is a war within the kingdom.

Within the factions, a diverse array of ideas flourished.

A message has been released:
The two imprisoned and exiled water and fire giants also began to spread their doctrines, gather many followers, and establish the fire magic school and the water magic school, respectively.

Earth magic began to circulate among the giants.

Thus, there were now five major schools of magic: wind, light, water, fire, and earth. They established their statues and magic network nodes in various major cities to spread their power.

Especially the Holy Empire.

Liu Jun discovered Green Shade Territory and, under the lord's instructions, built many new churches and made various classifications for light mages.

As I passed by the church, I overheard the archbishop preaching to the faithful:

"Those who cultivate the light-elemental power of flesh and blood knights specialize in attack, while those who specialize in defense specialize in holy shields."

"Those who cultivate the light-based power of soul magic are light mages, specializing in attack, while those who specialize in healing are priests."

They also spread their teachings and distributed porridge in various ways.

They led their people in regular prayers in the church to strengthen their rule.

"This current King of Angels is quite capable of governing the country."

Liu Jun felt the rapid changes of the times!
Times are becoming more complex, and more interesting!
It's no longer the creative era where all we knew was weaving.

Meanwhile, Liu Jun's sixth magic, the mysterious magic, is also setting sail.

but.

His actions are minor and haven't been discovered yet.

Of course, people are also speculating about who obtained the last divine object, and they will eventually discover the existence of mysterious magic.

"That divine object is very mysterious, and it will probably bring a great calamity similar to the disaster of wisdom to the earth."

"This is a sign of impending doom, a trial by God, and it will definitely not be that simple."

"Do not be deceived by the atmosphere of glory and tranquility. Our times are filled with despair! Disaster after disaster strikes, and we will never be better off!"

Undercurrents are stirring, with many pessimistic apocalyptic voices issuing declarations.

These words were overheard by Liu Jun.

The metal box shouted loudly:

"They guessed right. A new disaster has already struck. If it weren't for God's own intervention, finding the mysteriously missing divine object and suppressing the budding of this terrifying calamity..."

"If it weren't for this box of mine, and my life to seal this divine object, the world would have already fallen into endless danger."

"And what about next time? And the time after that?"

He kept arguing that the glory of the gods should not be buried but should be known to the world.

He's a complete embarrassment.

They seem very interested in making a name for themselves in history, becoming great heroes, and being talked about in the streets and alleys.

and.

In the Kingdom of Angels, people are restless.

Recently, a lot of inexplicable rumors have emerged.

Everyone is saying that the fifth-generation angel king, New Baal, is seriously injured and will soon die.

This angel emperor is accelerating the development of the light magic system and building churches everywhere.

Perhaps it was a last-ditch effort before he died of old age!
But the people of the Holy Empire scoffed at this:

"How is that possible? A fourth-order soul has a lifespan of a thousand years. If you add the lifespan of cultivating the physical body, it's another thousand years, making it a full two thousand years."

"The current king is only a few hundred years old, how could he have died young?"

Nobody believed it.

Only within the imperial palace of the Holy Empire could one hear a sigh.

"Magic is poisonous."

"Magic is poisonous."

In the laboratory of Rehe Heavy Industry, Reli frowned slightly and looked at the scientists beside him, "Is this true?"

The scientists here are all core confidants of the Hot Carp faction.

They were all core members responsible for helping her with her secret research.

It can be said that every leader at Rehe Heavy Industry has a secret team working under them to conduct various research projects.

One scientist said:

"After establishing the Mind Magic Research Center, we had a group of students from the No. 1 High School of Rehe Heavy Industry train in it, and used AI to collect more than 100 body data points for real-time monitoring!"

"This power has caused significant damage to the body's very foundation; in our view, it's a matter of compatibility!"

Hot Carp sat in the chair, lost in thought.

After reading the history of the Butterfly Clan, he naturally understood one thing.

The degree of compatibility with a divine object determines whether you can integrate with it.

Now, they are forcibly integrating and forcibly fitting in.
Will it cause a rejection reaction and shorten lifespan?
But think about it carefully.

The divine object is right before your eyes. Even if you know the side effects are severe, you can't help but practice its magic!

After all, no matter how severe the side effects, if you overcome the rejection and continuously adapt, you will eventually become a god.

Isn't this a case of hardship finally giving way to happiness?
"Tell me in detail," Hot Carp said.

"This relates to the concept of 'magical compatibility' that we introduced this morning."

"Unless it is a divine object that descends and automatically selects a life that is 100% compatible with it from the vast sea of ​​people, other life forms will generally have some degree of rejection."

"We call this ability [Magical Affinity]!"

"For example, some people have a higher talent for wind magic. If they practice wind magic, they will suffer less damage and their training speed will be faster."

Hot Carp raised an eyebrow.

Everyone has different affinity traits.

With more types of magic available, you're bound to find one that suits you!
But that won't work here.

"We only have the [Mind Magic] lineage here. If you don't have a compatibility with it, you won't be able to cultivate other magic."

Hot Carp frowned deeply.

Unfortunately, she has no affinity for mind magic.

Cultivating the magic of the mind, with a focus on deep affection.

Whether it's romantic love, familial love, or any other kind of emotion.

After all, deep affection is short-lived.

But Reli has a rather calm, even indifferent, personality!

She can't cultivate deep affection.

As for why there are rumors circulating that she and Hot Carp are fighting over a man? That she is deeply in love with someone?
Men were just one part of her battle with that bitch.

At their level, love is inherently unreliable.

She had seen too many greedy and disgusting things.

Love brain?
Someone at her level would have been outmaneuvered long ago.

Just as the Angel Emperor said, their era is already rotten to the core!
Even she longed for that beautiful and innocent era of creation myths.

Bringing her thoughts back, Reli said softly:

"If there are many types of magic, choosing the one with the highest affinity will avoid the side effect of lifespan issues, so only the advantages remain?"

"Yes, that's the theory."

The researchers said, "With a high degree of compatibility, there are naturally no side effects. Furthermore, with continuous cultivation, as long as one integrates with the divine object, one will naturally have the qualification to become a god."

Da da da!
Hot Carp tapped his fingertips lightly, lost in thought. "It's a pity that there's only one divine artifact in our era. If I could find a magic that suits me, my combat power could be increased, and I could also cultivate a third path."

Body, soul, and magic.

How could someone whose future had been stagnant for decades not want it?
"What conclusions have you drawn about history?"

Hot Carp suddenly asked.

"We have dispatched archaeological expeditions from all over the world to conduct further in-depth excavations."

"Furthermore, we deliberately bypassed the four major river basins of human origin and went to the deep mountains and forests where humans have hardly ever lived to conduct our excavations."

“We focus our mining efforts on the strata below 30,000 meters. If there is indeed a history of the Butterfly Clan, it must be buried deep underground.”

The area of ​​this world is much, much larger than that of the previous Earth.

With a large area, the strata are naturally very deep.

Although humans are the main players in this era, there are many places they have not actively explored.

Because it is not necessary.

Their tomb raiding teams mainly excavated the tombs of ancient kings and nobles.

It's okay, why dig so deep?
Unless it's a special laboratory, they wouldn't experimentally drill holes in the strata to dig a few bottomless pits. But with only a few pits, it's normal not to find any Butterfly Clan relics.

"Sorry, we have already been drilling extensively in various locations."

"Besides us, many other companies' professional teams are also digging in those areas, and some have even collected samples up to 30,000 meters deep. According to our inside informants, they can't find it either."

"Historically, there is no trace of the Butterfly Clan, just as if the history of the Butterfly Clan simply does not exist!"

"We have two guesses about this."

The scientist pushed up his glasses, a deep light flashing in his eyes.

"First, in the later Butterfly Clan era, divine objects descended from the sky, destroying the world time and time again. The people on earth could not withstand it and tried to escape into a small grotto-heaven."

"After all, since it is a myth, we have to pay attention to the divine kingdoms, grotto heavens, celestial realms, and hells in myths."

Hot Carp nodded.

This is indeed a guess.

It's normal that they moved into some subspace to hide long ago, so there's no trace of them in reality.

As for why they left no trace on the land after moving there?
It's really possible.

Not to mention the divine artifacts that followed, just that artifact of the water disaster turned the entire river and ocean into jelly, creating a world-ending flood.

What civilization remains?
They are gods who hold the power over heaven and earth, and they destroyed heaven and earth one by one. Given the long passage of time, it is normal for the traces to be erased.

“Tell me the second possibility,” said Hot Carp.

"The second possibility is the parallel universe theory."

"This possibility seems very high to us! They are in a parallel universe, experiencing a history similar to ours."

"But they are still in the Jurassic period."

It has to be said that cyberpsychologists have incredibly creative minds.

In fact, they were already very clever, and over time, various laboratory simulations, tests, deductions, and excavations of the strata were conducted.

They had a pretty good grasp of the truth behind Liu Jun's mushroom soup base, narrowing it down to two possibilities.

Upon hearing this news, Hot Carp pondered, "Whether the Butterfly Clan is hiding in some divine kingdom or a parallel world..."

"An immortal deity would surely be able to move freely between these spaces!"

"Being near the water tower gives you a head start. I was previously punished by being stationed in Rehe City, but now it has become a great opportunity. The other guys all want to switch places with me."

"I need to take this opportunity to contact that Angel Emperor more often and see if I can reach the God of Immortality."

"Magic?"

"The immortal gods don't seem to care about this. It would be interesting if I could be casually thrown into the era of the Butterfly Clan civilization like those researchers."

"If it really is a parallel world."

Her mind was racing, wondering if she could ask the god of immortality for help.

"I, a saint, was born in this sad era, and I also want to experience that kind of wonderful time."

A world of mushroom soup.

In the woods within the noble estate.

The trees are singing, and the larks are dancing.

Even the grass on the ground is holding hands, dancing together with the wind.

“Interesting. You resurrected materials, when used to make potions, actually have the effect of replenishing souls.”

"And this is just the most basic ability; there are other uses as well."

In the woods, Liu Jun was studying his mysticism.

A blade of grass said, "God, I want to grow taller and stronger, and sprout more lush green tips for you to use in your studies of the occult!"

"Then you'd better work hard."

Liu Jun smiled.

At this moment, the spirit within the knife and fork in the distance flew on the fork, carrying plates of dishes, and circled around like a flying saucer to the dining table. "My lord, your lunch."

"Thank you." Liu Jun gracefully picked up his knife and fork.

Fork: Ahhh! God praised me, I'm going to die~~~
Liu Jun has finally understood!

[Ultimate Wisdom] is equivalent to oxen and horses.

The ultimate goal of wisdom is to be a beast of burden!
This is too outrageous.

At that moment, he was unaware of the chaotic thoughts of those guys outside.

The people of Rehe City turned their attention to him, this immortal deity.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't care.

After all, who doesn't dream of immortality these days?
When the time comes, I'll create a big pot of my own, cover their world, and turn them into ingredients for my own soup. I'll stuff them into mushroom soup and cook up new talents for myself!

They behaved themselves!
Their guesses became a reality.

As for now?

Strategic hiding.

Focus on developing your skills first, don't be reckless.

Ignore them.

They chose to disappear without a trace and live forever, so no matter how many fifth-tier powerhouses they were given, they wouldn't be able to find their place.

He didn't intend to level up and fight monsters like those main characters.

He and other high-ranking officials of Rehe Heavy Industry engaged in intrigue and narrowly escaped death at various times.

Normally.

With a cheat code, wouldn't you secretly develop your strength and wipe them out in one fell swoop?

The outside world is mysterious and dangerous!

Outside of Rehe City, there are countless cunning old foxes with countless secret trump cards and hidden powerhouses. Why bother going head-to-head with them?

Let's wipe them out in one fell swoop!
Only then will I be able to carefully examine the various hidden cards and encryption technologies of these guys in my "mushroom soup".

and so.

Liu Junzhen had no intention of paying them any attention.

The immortal deities, except when they need money and need to ask them for "money," spend the rest of their time in seclusion developing their abilities.
"However, it seems that the current King of Angels is really getting old and dying."

"It turns out that not only is Rehe City looking for me, but this place is also looking for me, the immortal deity."

Liu Jun showed a hint of surprise, sensing what was happening near the Cangwu tree.

There are hidden idols left behind by themselves.

The aura of their disappearance is very strong.

The angel king traveled around, hoping to meet the immortal god, but could not find him!

He was going to die too.

He desired the power to live forever.

For more than twenty years, New Bar traveled all over the land, visiting various tribes, seeking immortality in all sorts of ways, breaking through the limitations of light magic, or even completely merging with divine objects to become a god.

Unfortunately, he could only wait for his old age to end in despair.

“I can help him, but there’s no need.”

Liu Jun slowly shook the glass test tube in his hand:
"If it is said that the Cangwu tree is hidden and does not appear, then it means it will not be born."

"If this sets a precedent, and every emperor in every era comes to me for help when they die, they will only become more and more demanding."

I've barely even met the other person a few times.

Liu Jun, of course, wouldn't be a saint.

He can help Chong Shisan, Die Luxin, and Die Luxiang fulfill their dying wishes.

But I won't help strangers I don't know.

"However, in the current magic system, this method of cultivating mushrooms is not so easy to open up."

Liu Jun sighed softly, his tone filled with a myriad of emotions.

"I previously thought that experimenting with weaving bodies would deplete the tribe."

"The current research system can also leave various hidden injuries to the body."

All progress in civilization comes from experimenting on ourselves as guinea pigs, risking our lives in the process.

at this time.

Liu Jun suddenly sensed a powerful figure appearing outside the manor.

Fourth-order electric field.

The breath was rough.

They didn't seem as powerful and robust as the people like Hot Carp that I had seen before.

But for the primitive natives of this simple and crude era, having this kind of strength is already quite remarkable.

Furthermore, he was not born a saint.

Compared to a saint, an ordinary person's level of spiritual cultivation is far inferior!
Liu Jun opened his eyes and sighed softly, "Why didn't the Angel Emperor Newbars come to visit, but instead hid in the sky?"
