Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 167 The Land of Ultimate Yang and Ultimate Yin

Chamber of Secrets.

Inside a high-energy light bulb, a golden figure flickers on the wick.

"Damn it, even the immortal gods won't help me. Should I really go to the Spirit Realm?"

This person is the electric host, the hot carp.

He was a fourth-order saint, but he didn't even tell Rehe Heavy Industry about obtaining the divine object.

Because of distrust.

The hot carp sat inside the light bulb, its silhouette transformed into an arc of electric sparks, constantly muttering to itself.

"Currently, there is too much population in our era, which means that there are probably more than one person with 100 affinity. Therefore, divine objects will prioritize life forms with higher levels of affinity."

"The fact that there are three hosts, including Liu Chang, a high-level third-tier expert, and two innate saints of the fourth tier, is definitely not a coincidence."

"But what should I do next?"

After obtaining the divine object, he decisively abandoned his body, and his consciousness resided in the wick of an electric light bulb.

After all, in this era, the body can be cloned at any time; consciousness is the fundamental thing.

He has now transformed into a ball of electric spirit!
Similar to Star Chaser.

He's quite fast, and can even move freely through the electric grid, making him impossible for his opponents to catch.

But now.

Watching the other two hosts grow stronger and deduce the pantheon of the divine artifact filled him with a tremendous sense of crisis.

"Are we really going to the spirit world?"

"Can the words of immortal gods really be trusted? Is there truly no hidden portal to control the spirit realm?"

This feeling of being at his mercy made him very uncomfortable.

Although he was a high-ranking member of the younger generation in Rehe City, he had little understanding of or contact with the spirit world.

I don't want to gamble with my life.

As for Ji Qianfan?
He was arrested as soon as he arrived and has been taken into custody.

Hot carp don't want to be controlled by higher-ups.

"Never mind, we still can't go to the spirit world."

"In order not to fall too far behind, let the divine subordinates who ate my fruit go in and deduce this system."

"Then I take their achievements in reality."

This method doesn't lead to rapid development, but he still chose not to go in and continued to observe.

Rehe City.

The Thirteenth Junior High School, the Secret Room.

Si Anhe was suddenly startled and said to everyone, "I have received some kind of radio signal language transmission!"

"What? That host has finally made a move?" Everyone gathered around.

In their eyes, Si Anhe was the hope of their team.

Si Anhe said, "Let us enter the spirit world and establish a third tribe, in addition to the traditional shamans and sorcerers."

Xu Changsheng's eyes flashed, and he smiled.

It seems this lightning-type host is a bit timid, afraid there might be problems in the spirit world.

Spirit world.

With a large influx of newborns, geniuses emerge in droves.

However, they lost their memories, which is equivalent to being reborn.

It didn't have much of an impact.

Furthermore, after that battle, the sorcerer god fled, and the god of incantation completely ascended to the top of the entire era, with Ying Qing's name resounding throughout the world.

The entire shamanic clan relocated and began to lie low and hide.

However, these underworld messengers continue to harvest souls and calculate lifespans everywhere.

The two tribes continued to fight.

They went out continuously, possessing the divine power of the two gods, and their influence spread throughout various tribes, villages, cities, kingdoms, and continents.

The Zhuyou clan quickly realized something was wrong:
"Your Majesty, their sorcerers only need to raid everywhere and plunder souls; we are too busy to protect them."

"The initiative is in the hands of the other party."

"Back then, they were defeated by our incantation technique for turning corpses into corpses because they didn't have time to prepare a countermeasure."

"If we allow them to continue stealing lifespans, stripping away souls, and collecting more materials, they might be able to develop a way to subdue us zombies."

At the summit of the Zhuyou Temple, the eyes of the Zhuyou God Yingqing gleamed with oil, and he fell into deep thought upon hearing the report.

"Does their tribe consider themselves gods or demons who control lifespan, and steal lifespans everywhere they go?!"

"Their race created lifespan for heaven and earth, and over time, they will surely become a fixed order in the world, becoming gods who control lifespan!"

"Then we should also create an order."

On this day, the God of Zhuyou, Ying Qing, filled with boundless pride, perfected a new method for all living beings in the world.

Essence and blood!

This method allows all living beings to cultivate essential oils, mix them into their blood, and condense them into essence blood.

With just a small amount of Zhuyou divine power, the original essential oil is injected into the people's bodies to form essence blood, allowing them to cultivate themselves and continuously strengthen their essence blood!

In this way, everyone in the world can cultivate the system of the essence and bloodline!

Upon hearing this technique, his father, Qiu, immediately objected:

"Isn't this just like the neighbors next door, herding all living beings?"

"They cultivate themselves, which requires souls, so they herd living beings, harvest their lifespans, and strip them of their souls."

"We need essential oils for cultivation. We graze oil-producing plants to strengthen their essence and blood, and then we deprive them of their vital essence and blood to cultivate?"

Both of these methods use sentient beings as pasture to nourish the cultivation materials of their two major tribes.

“It’s different.”

Zhu You Shen Ying Qing said calmly, "They graze their livestock and kill the people. We graze our livestock to absorb some of their essence and blood, but it does not harm our lives."

“They can bite their fingertips and use their blood to make sesame oil, incense money, and ask us to do things for them.”

"Everything in the world is subject to the principle of equivalent exchange."

"We protect them, and they naturally have to pay a small price to help us become stronger."

"Our selfless dedication has only hindered our spiritual practice, allowing the Kingdom of Witchcraft to make a comeback and bringing another catastrophe to the human world!"

"We may appear kind, but what difference is there between the consequences we cause and those of the first generation of tyrannical rulers who brought about the downfall of their kingdoms?"

Although Ying Qing is kind, his kindness has an edge.

The method of using essence and blood began to spread throughout the continent, causing a great uproar.

"How hateful! They actually cultivated the method of essence and blood, creating an additional order in the world out of thin air."

"How wonderful was the era of You's rule back then? Who would have thought that in this life, such an invincible Zhuyou God would emerge, pioneering the Corpse Transformation Technique and the Essence Blood Technique, with unparalleled talent!"

"I'm afraid that in the days to come, everyone will have essence and blood, and everyone will cultivate essence and blood."

"This is a inferior method. Although it is not as vigorous as the blood and qi of the zombies, which are as fiery as the sun, their blood essence also contains pure yang energy, which can be used to deal with weaker ghost messengers!"

"Damn it, they've updated their incantation techniques again! When the common people bite their fingertips, light incense, and offer money for incense, the nearby incantation practitioners will sense it and rush over immediately!"

"It's not just that. They used their blood essence to draw talismans and put them under their pillows, draw door gods and paste them on the door, and cut paper-cuts and paste them on the windows. The yang energy in the house is so strong that we weaker ghosts can't get in to take lives."

"Yes, we can only pretend to be acquaintances and trick them into opening the door!"

"This is so frustrating! Adults are hard to fool, but they have to trick a child into opening the door!"

“Now even children are not easy to fool. In various tribes, bedtime stories for children are becoming popular, and they are all about how to guard against us and not to open the door.”

"This is a war between our two great kingdoms of gods and demons!"

Unfavorable news kept coming from various war zones, and people were full of complaints. Their shamans, who cultivated by absorbing souls, were now being targeted and killed.

Even elderly shamans, wielding scepters of white bones, seemed to have seen through to a deeper, more profound truth.

"Oil possesses powerful yang energy and can burn fiercely."

"The soul possesses powerful yin energy and can store consciousness."

"Isn't the kingdom of the gods and demons, the kingdom of the sorcerers and demons, the ultimate yang versus the ultimate yin?"

"We were destined to be enemies from the very beginning!"

In secret, the shamans and underworld officials kept exchanging information, their expressions extremely grim.

Yes.

This is already the struggle between Yin and Yang in the world since the beginning of time.

They need to possess souls in order to cultivate.

Meanwhile, the other party spreads their essence and blood to resist the soul-stealing.

The intense burst of essence and blood, the overwhelming yang energy, even the underworld officials dared not approach and steal away one's years.

From this day forward.

On the land, the struggle between the two factions intensified, permeating every living being in every tribe and beginning to fight each other.

This is a battle for the grand scheme of things!

While the various tribes were still discussing the matter...

Another message came from the land of the gods and demons.

"I will perfect the Blood Essence Technique to a new level! To help the common people and resist the soul-snatching witches!"

Before the soul-reapers could even recover, the other side launched another attack to suppress them.

The god of healing ignited his essence and blood, causing his vital energy to boil and swell, illuminating the heavens, like a great sun descending.

The overwhelming energy and blood were like a great drought, leaving the land parched and the sun rising in the east. The aura of this zombie-like god-demon body became increasingly terrifying.

"Oil is truly the sum of all substances, the source of bodily power, and the energy stored in the body!"

A single message seemed to travel thousands of miles, resounding through the clear sky.

"In this world, there are only methods for cultivating the power of the soul, but no true techniques for strengthening the body, which makes the body weak and unable to withstand heavy loads."

"I will open a new path for the world! I possess the courage of ten thousand jin!"

"This lineage is martial arts, and its core is cultivating essence and blood to strengthen the body, ward off evil spirits, resist illness, prolong life, increase strength, enhance wisdom, cure diseases, and exorcise demons!"

The news shocked the world, and countless people discussed it, finding it utterly unbelievable.

Martial arts?

Even the immortal deities who had returned to the spirit realm were slightly surprised, wondering, "How can one cultivate a physical body without being born with a saintly physique?"

Beside him, Re Li couldn't help but marvel, immediately grasping the underlying principle: "Oil transforms into essence blood, circulating throughout the body, serving as the body's energy source!"

"So, by cultivating the divine power of this oil, one can slightly improve the strength of their physical body without needing a naturally born saintly physique!"

"After all, essence blood can circulate throughout the body, tempering its strength and constantly evolving!"

"If this lineage reaches its peak, its martial arts might even allow it to condense an artificially created sacred body!"

"This kind of sacred body could perhaps be called a martial body."

Even the hot carp found it unbelievable.

A saintly body is extremely rare.

The difficulty of obtaining the Holy Body of figures like Thoth, God, and the Demon King is evident to all.

And it appeared here so quickly?

Or is it a universally available, artificially cultivated sacred body?

These are all divine objects with oil properties, and their characteristics are perfectly suited to promoting the evolution of the body.

A suitable divine object can outweigh the waste of a civilization over thousands of years!
Hot Carp sighed:

"A divine object, too miraculous, its potential is simply limitless! It has actually broken the ironclad laws of nature that we have studied for countless years."

This is how it was recorded by later generations.

Human Race, Shamanic Myths, Martial Arts Chapter

[Legend has it that in the beginning, when heaven and earth were first created, two tribes were at war. After the defeat, the sorcerer secretly stripped people of their lifespan to heal their injuries. The people could not bear the humiliation, and even the sorcerer was overwhelmed.]

The deity Zhu You then passed down martial arts, enabling them to concentrate their essence and blood, making their vital energy surge like a torrent, to resist the vengeful spirits who sought their lives. Thus, martial arts came into being in the world.

The myth of the shaman has existed for 189 years.

The systemic warfare between the two sides is escalating.

Because during this period, a large number of geniuses were inexplicably born in the spirit world, and the number of talented people reached a terrifying level.

This also led countless powerful individuals to drive the explosion of the era.

The lineage of shamans and sorcerers.

It actually evolved into various soul spells, such as the Soul Banner and the Collarbone Chain.

Furthermore, they utilized the Soul Cluster to cultivate a variety of entirely new Soul Medicines, such as Bone Saliva, Corrupting Heart Flower, and Yin Gu Water.
The lineage of Zhu You (祝由).

Not to be outdone, they cultivated powerful blood and qi, resulting in a mature method for cultivating blood and qi.

The realms of Qi and blood as gauze, Qi and blood as fine as mercury, etc.

Although they are not as powerful as the zombie deities that symbolize pure Yang, they do not require much blessing from the gods, making them more accessible.

After all, it won't work if it's not widely available.

The growth of a civilization requires the collective wisdom of all people to develop and take shape.

Furthermore, they used their own blood and essence to nourish the plants, selecting and cultivating them time and time again, resulting in various special materials for martial arts training, such as Flame Grass and Rising Sun Flower.

From then on, martial arts flourished throughout the world!
As everyone knows, the land of gods and demons spread martial arts to fight against the evil land of witches and the soul-reaping messengers of the underworld.

They represent two different orders in the universe: the ultimate Yang and the ultimate Yin.

The shaman lived in 207.

Countless white bones were piled up to form a Jingguan (a mound of bones), and on top of the mound was a temple dedicated to the White Bone God.

Their shamanistic tribes still use rather primitive bone tools.

It's not that they're cruel.

Because bones and skin, these human materials, are inherently very compatible with the soul, making them ideal for use as soul-binding artifacts.

"Having suffered a defeat back then, it's time to clear my name."

The shaman remained calm despite the illness.

The word "患" originally had no meaning; it was just a pronunciation.

But nowadays, "you" represents a kind of foolishness, while "eating you" represents a spirit of unwavering resistance.

The word "患" (huàn) has come to represent a disaster, a plague, and has become a synonym for death.

It makes the child cry.

This further enraged the proud and reputation-conscious sorcerer:
"If he hadn't exposed our identities and hidden us from the shadows, who in this world would know that there's more to life than just a lifespan?"

"It is the country of Zhuyou that has caused us to be vilified by the world."

"We protected the various tribes by taking away their excess lifespan; it was an equal exchange, our reward!"

In an instant, the shaman had made his decision:

"Now that I have fully recovered from my injuries and have developed a method to subdue zombies, I will once again fight the God of Healing!"

"This battle will determine not only victory or defeat, but also life or death."

Having said that, the withered and emaciated figure of the god and demon, whose body was shrouded in dark and sinister energy, unleashed a dazzling black light like a black dragon, shooting off from afar.
