Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 194 Life and Death, the Loneliness of Immortality

Ten years later.

The God of Ruins wandered around and discovered a place.

Here, countless strange beasts compete for a mysterious and unique immortal herb.

It is called: Immortal Herb.

Countless exotic beasts were fighting over it, and some of them, in the midst of the carnage, had even broken through to the early stage of the fifth rank, which was quite astonishing.

Obviously.

After that incantation god opened the way, many people have reached this realm over the past few centuries.

"An object of immortality? I must fight for it."

The God of Ruins discovered that four fifth-tier powerhouses were vying for this divine artifact.

"My immortal techniques are now perfected. I have a 7% chance of winning against three opponents, but the risks are still extremely high!"

He began to hide himself, waiting for them to fight it out so that he could benefit.

He discovered that the immortal herb also possessed its own consciousness, but unfortunately, it was treated as a rare and precious treasure and had no control over its own destiny.

"How pitiful, they have no ability to protect themselves."

Time passed by minute by minute.

Ten years later, he hid in a mountain and watched several tribes fight for supremacy.

Thirty years later, he continued to hide in the mountains. From even more distant places, strange beasts broke through their limits and came to fight for this miraculous herb.

This magical herb might be called the elixir of immortality.

Forty-five years.

The Void God finally found an opportunity. When several fifth-tier beings were seriously injured, he broke out of the mountain and used his speed to quickly steal the immortal herb.

"Hahaha! This magical herb is destined to be with me."

"Obtaining this celestial herb may grant eternal life; it is called the elixir of immortality!"

The shaman lived in 899.

Even though the God of Ruins obtained the immortal herb, his lifespan was still nearing its end, as he was about to reach the end of his lifespan during his travels.

He obtained the magic herb, only to discover:

"This immortal herb has nine leaves in total, and it will only regenerate the immortal divine power of one leaf every certain period of time."

"A single leaf can help one preserve a state of being that lasts for a hundred years."

"However, this immortal herb is of such a low level, only second rank, and it takes a thousand years to grow a single leaf!"

Thinking of this, the God of Ruins couldn't help but curse under his breath.

Don't your strange beasts know how to cultivate immortal herbs to a higher level?
So he decisively began cultivating this magical herb: "I'll teach you cultivation!"

"Thank you," Xiancao said, "but my cultivation level is very low, and my talent for cultivation is not very good. They have taught me cultivation, but unfortunately it hasn't been very effective."

Bai Youxuan ranked first in Rehe No. 13 High School.

But if it were one of the top high schools, it would definitely be at the bottom of the class.

In her entire life, even breaking through to the third rank was only a hope.

In the vast human world, it is the kind of thing that is inconspicuous.

The third tier is possible, the fourth tier is absolutely impossible, and the fifth tier is out of the question.

His talent is nowhere near as good as a single hair of the God of Ruins.

The God of the Void comforted her: "Heaven and earth are eternal. You were born against the heavens and are the only treasure favored by heaven and earth. Naturally, you will have gains and losses."

"Heaven has granted you an almost eternal lifespan, but it will naturally deprive you of your cultivation aptitude."

The God of Ruins thought this was normal.

If she were given eternal divine power that could be locked in place, and her talent was also very strong, would anyone else need to fight her?

It's terrifying to even think about.

If an immortal being, locked in a state of permanence, virtually indestructible, continues to rule a world, then what chance do others have of rising to power?
"Come with me."

"I have just opened up the path to immortality, which is suitable for your cultivation, so that you can cultivate faster."

This was the first encounter between the Void God and the Elixir of Immortality in human history.

time flies.

This deity patiently taught the less talented immortal herbs and traveled the land, recording all sorts of sights and sounds.

As time went by, they gradually became close friends who could talk about anything.

When I first got the herb, there wasn't a single leaf left.

Unless you devour the bare, immortal herb itself, exhausting all resources, you can prolong your life!
But in doing so, the magic herb would completely disappear.

"If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely eat you up, regardless of the consequences. But I would rather die than do that."

The God of Ruins has his own principles and integrity.

As a historical figure who lived forever, Xu Changsheng could be cunning and patient, but he was never corrupt, nor did he ever become a member of a powerful or influential family.

If he really became that kind of person, I'm afraid the entire history of humankind would be shrouded in darkness.

If he is evil, he will change his identity time and time again, and eventually rule all of human history, becoming a dark mastermind behind the scenes, bringing endless despair to humanity.

But he had never done that.

He has always been the most radiant sage of mankind. Every time he awakens and is reborn, he overthrows the powerful and wealthy and seeks a better life for the people. He is the most dazzling light in human history.

Another ten years have passed.

This deity, about to die, sighed with emotion:
"It's all about timing and fate. I may have obtained the elixir of immortality, but I can't live forever."

"However, it is also acceptable to leave the hope of immortality to future generations."

This deity of the Void had a gentle expression and a smile on his face.
"As you grow stronger and become an immortal herb that lasts forever, your immortal divine power will recover rapidly. It will take a hundred years for a single leaf to grow, which can then help one person achieve eternal life."

Upon hearing this, Xiancao felt a complex mix of emotions.

Perhaps, I will achieve immortality, and perhaps in the future, there will be successive new masters. They will vie for me, wanting me to prolong their lives. Wars centered on me will continue through countless mythical eras!

But just thinking about it is unbearable; it's so painful to see people pass away one by one.

"Immortality is a kind of suffering," the Immortal Herb suddenly said.

The God of Ruins continued:
"After I pass away, I will no longer be able to protect you. I'm afraid other strange beasts will fight over you. They are not like me. They don't care about anything else when they are just trying to survive. If they see that you have no leaves, they will swallow your roots and stems!"

"So, from now on, you'll have to protect yourself."

The immortal herb can only be planted with a nod.

The God of Ruins continued his journey, constantly recording information about strange beasts from various places and continuously updating his immortal cultivation methods.

Ordinary fifth-level cultivators have a lifespan of several thousand or tens of thousands of years.

However, he is only a hundred years old and will soon die peacefully.

They traveled through one strange tribe after another, saw all sorts of strange and mutated plants, and many places were filled with their laughter and joy.

"Ugh!"

"I am still not satisfied, and I will try to break through to a higher level."

On his deathbed, this god of the void decided to make one last desperate attempt, and he began an endless massacre.

He traveled to some sacred mountains and blessed lands in search of medicines that could prolong life, and he actually found some.

He swallowed the precious medicine that possessed both low energy consumption and the divine power of longevity, which barely extended his lifespan.

However, his killings and struggles also provoked resistance from many strange beasts.

Some of the strange beasts were forced to relocate, and were almost wiped out by this god of death.

Some fifth-tier beasts began to join forces to kill him, but he slaughtered them until the sky turned crimson and they began to flee.

"kill!"

"Killing more people will also leave a legacy for our human race. After I disappear, as long as they are not certain that I am dead, they will not dare to offend me for a while!"

The Void God was also surrounded by murderous aura, majestic and terrifying, but getting close felt like being surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He slaughtered his way through various tribes, leaving behind a terrifying reputation.

He became an emperor who swept across the world, suppressing the alien races in various sacred mountains and forbidden zones until they could hardly breathe.

This was a figure who was invincible in his era.

Many other races were terrified upon hearing this, and some even dared not approach human tribes anymore.

"I have three years left to live."

"It's time to go to the outer heavens and see what the outside world is like."

Having said that, he took a step forward and headed towards the perilous outer reaches of the sky.

This time, however, he discovered that the barrier of the spirit realm had been strengthened. After Ying Qing escaped back then, the spirit realm naturally increased the strength of its protective walls.

"Good good!"

The God of Ruins stood with his hands behind his back, and gave a bitter laugh, "I never imagined that there would be such a terrifying barrier outside the heavens, preventing us from going out."

"There truly is a great secret hidden in the heavens!"

"I've heard that every time they go out, they lose their memories of the outside world!"

He rammed the barrier violently, but the barrier did not react at all, and in the end he could only turn into a corpse and fall down.

In 971, the God of Ruins perished.

Oh oh oh!
The Immortal Herb embraced the other's corpse and wept bitterly, only to discover that the other's burning heart had merged into its own body.

This is a gift left to me by the other party.

Is this a gift from you?

A passionate heart?
But I'm far from breaking through to the fifth rank, how can I use it?
In its agony, the Immortal Herb of Immortality discovered something unusual about the other's corpse: "He seems to possess some kind of wondrous resurrection talent!"

Xu Changsheng, as one of the ten ancestral saints in history, naturally possessed incredibly terrifying talent.

"You can actually come back to life!"

The Immortal Herb had a vague premonition: "Although you are dead, your memories remain, and you can live a second life."

Upon discovering this secret, the Immortal Herb was overjoyed.

In this way, over the long course of time, someone can accompany you to live forever.

How wonderful it would be to have someone accompany you to immortality!

"Will it take some time for him to be resurrected?"

She quickly preserved the brain.

Xu Changsheng does indeed reappear in history only after a certain period of time, because his resurrection has a cooldown period.

Eighty years later.

The immortal herb secretly entered the tribe and put its brain into a woman's body.

The woman was walking on the ground when she suddenly became pregnant for no apparent reason.

This was conceived by the grace of heaven and earth.

Thus, the second emperor of the human race, Xi, was born.

In the tribe.

"Another auspicious omen from heaven."

"How can this baby be so fast?"

"I feel as if I can see the invincible figure of that king from back then."

This time, the tribe elders got excited after just a few glances.

This scene is all too familiar.

The deity who had disappeared from home had not yet returned, and yet another holy being was born here.
"Hahaha, it is time for the human race to prosper!"
