Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 209 Immortals and Gods
"Are you coming?"

God turned around.

He stood quietly high in the sky.

This guy, the Long Poetry Sword Immortal, actually gave me a big surprise.

Previously, these companies posed a threat to me, so I needed to be careful and cautious, as if walking on thin ice.

But now, this sword immortal has walked right into a trap.

They actively entered the public consciousness.

What's the difference between this and raising a white flag to surrender?
He was even complacent, thinking he had made perfect plans and that he had been reborn as a second person, becoming a part of the public consciousness.

However, if we look at it from his perspective...

His move of cutting off the enemy's supply lines and even outsmarting God was truly brilliant!
At this moment, the Sword Immortal of Long Poetry was indeed riding high, with his hands behind his back, saying, "I admit I was gambling, but I won."

"So, what are you going to do next?" asked the Pure Yang Sword Immortal.

"As planned, I became part of the public consciousness sea. After that, we discussed the Dao together, and our strength increased dramatically. Now is the time to join forces to deal with God."

"However, dealing with God also requires cunning!"

The Pure Yang Sword Immortal remained silent, quietly watching this person's performance.

Then the Black God continued:
"As the saying goes, when the Way diminishes, the Demonic Ones flourish; when the Demonic Ones diminish, the Way flourishes. All I need to do is help this God's good heart grow and then erase his demonic heart."

"You make it sound so easy," Pure Yang True Immortal frowned. "Everyone understands the principle, but how to put it into practice is the most difficult part."

"You do not understand."

Hei Tian said, "These days, we have been studying the structure of divine power and ordinary power.

"Is a regular fifth-tier weapon without any attributes really inferior to a fifth-tier weapon with attributes from a divine artifact?"

The answer is definitely not as good.

"But we still found a universal method that can obliterate divine power even for ordinary cultivators."

"With this method, ordinary people can also resist any kind of divine power without being instantly eroded."

Upon hearing this, the Pure Yang True Immortal was startled: "A universal method? It can give ordinary people a real chance to fight against immortals and gods?"

It is important to know that divine objects are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining.

It's like a weird mechanism!
Once you fall into his trap, he can kill you regardless of your skill level!

For example, the Mysterious One, once it enters your body, no matter how strong you are, whether you are at the fourth or fifth rank, your heart will fly out with a single call from it.

Light and darkness, for example, are even more terrifying.

Whatever your level of attainment?
Once this divine power enters your body, it can instantly change your concepts of good and evil!

They can turn you into a good person or a bad person.

Then, they became subordinates of the God of Light and the Demon King.

How can this be stopped?

Even if you are a powerful ordinary person, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you are still just a mortal and a nobody!
And what about God?
Even the lowest-level, first-tier trash mind master, once he obtains a divine object and becomes its host, you still have to call him a first-tier god!

But now, this guy is actually saying that he has found a universal way to fight it.

"This is the method I obtained by utilizing massive computing power after I became part of the public consciousness sea."

His entire body's strength spun rapidly, forming a series of rapidly rotating protective nets.

This network of thought is layered and contradictory, and any divine power that enters will be quickly crushed.

The Pure Yang Immortal glanced at it and was even more shocked: "This person has turned their body into a millstone!"

Gods possess divine objects and can transform the attributeless energy within their bodies into attributed divine power.

This method can reverse the attribute power and erase it back into ordinary attribute-less energy.

This method can be said to be groundbreaking.

Divine objects are no longer so invincible.

"Of course, this is just one means of resistance."

He sighed as he finished speaking:

"This method must be a product of history, just like the divine characters, immortal talismans and runes that you and I have created. They were probably already widespread in the old era."

At this point, they looked towards God in the distance, "I think the alchemical age, which followed the age of magic, should have been widespread by now."

Many years have passed since the Butterfly Clan era.

History has seen countless rises and falls, and the methods to counter divine power have probably already been discovered.

"."

Liu Jun was pleasantly surprised.

There is actually such power that can fight against divine objects?

He could indeed sense this power, which would surely become a trend in the future.

It's not just ordinary people who use this technique; even deities use it to fight against other deities.

Because many deities are inherently restrained by certain attributes.

With this method, you can withstand the restraint and avoid being instantly killed.

It has made the world a little healthier.

"Don't talk nonsense."

The fallen god looked at them and a hint of coldness appeared on his face. "Then come on."

The alarm bells rang in the Pure Yang True Immortal's heart, and he decisively used the ultimate technique taught to him by Hei Tian to resist the mysterious invasion!
At the same time, a fierce fighting spirit burned within him.

Heart Road:

"What is the most terrifying thing about God? It's mystery! The demons that awaken heaven and earth, whose words become law, but now, the public consciousness has become the strongest demon, turning against him!"

"He even used this all-powerful method to resist God's control! God's summoned beast has gone out of control!"

“Before, he made heaven and earth surround and attack the enemy, but now heaven and earth are surrounding and attacking him alone. He is going to be beaten by his own demons.”

"Without the mystery, he is now just a weakened version of the Demon King Goliath."

"His hands and feet were ruined."

Once he understood this, he couldn't help but look at Hei Tian beside him, feeling even more apprehensive.

This old man actually has some skill!
They had completely outmaneuvered God, using every means at their disposal.

Every step before that was probably part of the calculations of his supercomputer.

"Now is not the age of God. Even if we were to demote God to the God of Mercy now, he would only live in seclusion like an immortal deity, and he would not be the protagonist of this era."

"The protagonist of this era is the immortal."

"Therefore, my opponent is this Black Sky. The more meticulous and cunning he is, the more terrifying he becomes."

"Before, he even lied to me, saying that I had to help him possess Heitian and personally rescue a terrible enemy."

"That's enough. Now we have to join forces to deal with God, and then we can fight each other."

Thinking of this, the Pure Yang True Immortal no longer hesitated and joined forces to fight a fierce and exhilarating battle against God.

"Take action!"

The two stood side by side.

One was an immortal, the other a god; boundless power began to erupt.

As the logistics provider, Heitian began absorbing the power of heaven and earth and passing it on to this single immortal who excelled in combat.

When the two joined forces, their combat power underwent a qualitative change and increased dramatically.

They were both supreme beings, among the ten strongest holy tombs in human history. "Not enough, one blow to decide the outcome." Amidst the endless howling wind, Hei Tian immediately said, "Since we've started, let's kill with one strike. We can't drag it out, lest something unexpected happen."

"I understand. Try to finish it in one move? You're definitely not one of those brainless guys. You really can't let the other side recover."

The Pure Yang True Immortal roared, "Then use your next trump card."

How did you know I had another trump card up my sleeve?

"Hmph, you schemed against the public sea of ​​consciousness, forcing me to help you revive. This is your omnipotent method. This is your third move in a row. Didn't you already show your fourth trump card before? The public sea of ​​consciousness can provide enormous pressure to compress and merge ten mental images, allowing you to step into the pseudo-sixth rank."

"You're quite clever; your brainstem isn't missing."

“I’m not stupid. Those ten sect leaders were able to reach the pseudo-sixth rank by using the public sea of ​​consciousness. You are also in the public sea of ​​consciousness now. Help us provide pressure and reach that pseudo-sixth rank.”

The two of them, as if they were sworn enemies, argued back as if they were discussing philosophy, their spittle flying as they quarreled.

Even Liu Jun found it unsettling.

Did I pair up the wrong person? He glanced at the immortal herb, then at the Pure Yang True Immortal and the old man before him.
It seems I'm not suited to randomly shipping couples; life is unpredictable.

"Remember this: the immense pressure of the public consciousness will force you to keep your ten mental images together for only ten minutes."

"Ten minutes? That's enough. Let me give God a good beating!" The Pure Yang True Immortal was filled with fighting spirit.

"Not only that, I have a fifth trump card, which I'll reveal to give you a shock." The old man, Hei Tian, ​​stroked his beard and became smug.

"You still have a trump card? That really surprised me!"

"No matter how many plans you devise to deal with God's Judgment Day, you can't go wrong. I don't want our era to be destroyed by the devil and God."

"That's right, what's your fifth trump card?"

"The vast public sea of ​​consciousness will not only merge our ten mental images and compress them into the pseudo-sixth rank, but it will also merge us. This is a method that I suddenly realized and researched when you and Heitian were discussing the Dao!"

"Shall we merge?"

"Yes, immortals and gods are two different systems, but what would happen if they were merged?"

"Immortals and gods? Perhaps they would complement each other?"

"Give it a try."

"You might die!"

"I'm not afraid of death, it's you who's afraid, old man."

"Then let's give it a try? Don't let this fallen god underestimate us. Goliath and his demons have guts, how could we not?"

“You old man, you’re a bit different from those corrupt executives in those companies.”

"As I said, the previous dynasty was too powerful. Not long after I established my dynasty, I was ambushed and seriously injured by them, and then I fell into a deep sleep."

"That's because you didn't care about them, you're guilty. You're responsible for lying in your coffin and taking resources. You're a hands-off manager who watches your subordinates do evil."

"How can I care? The corruption of a dynasty is inevitable. Thousands of years have passed. What does it have to do with me what they're doing?"

"Then how do you explain darkness?"

"Of course, we'll continue to exploit. I'll become a good Black Heaven. Humans eat beasts? Why should humans eat humans? Humans also need to be a link in the food chain. Only with natural enemies can they not proliferate. Heaven will eat people! It's all your fault for researching the Immortals, this race of gods and demons. They live too long, sometimes for thousands of years. If we don't get rid of them, we'll be like locusts!"

"Alright, alright, you've been exposed after all! Even after the creation of the world, you still want to eat people! To shorten the lifespan of those innate human races!"

"Stop arguing, let's start the fusion."

"Then come."

As the two exchanged a lightning-fast exchange, an immense, overwhelming force crashed down.

Amidst the soaring golden energy waves and flames, the first immortal of heaven and earth, the first god from which all things converge, began to merge.

Crackling sounds.

The lightning bolts swirled and transformed into a giant egg.

A figure resembling a god or demon emerged from within, its light bursting forth in a wild display.

"Damn it, I am Heitian, not the auspicious cloud beneath your feet. Don't trample me underfoot, let me climb onto your head instead."

"No, when you and I are combined, we become a divine duo. You must obey me and become the auspicious cloud beneath my feet, the cloud sleeve."

"Get out of here!"

"Then let's find a compromise: you will stand behind me, this immortal, and become the divine ring of heaven and earth."

"That's pretty much it."

The body writhed and merged, and a figure, exhaling radiant light and shrouded in mist, finally emerged.

"I'm so strong!"

He murmured softly, a pure and pristine divine halo slowly swirling behind him.

This is the unique mark of God, the divine halo.

The Demon King Goliath had one, and the God had a ring behind him; these were signs of absorbing the power of heaven and earth through transformation.

But now, this divine ring is larger and thicker, as if it can control the energy of the vast universe.

Because it is the internet that spans the entire world—the public ocean of knowledge.

His signal network nodes, densely packed within the personal AI brain essential to every living being, have formed an incredible super network.

"I'm invincible."

There was no gossip, and no hesitation.

"One blow will decide the outcome." He raised his fist high.

"Die, you fallen God!"

The immense power of heaven and earth converged and entered the body of this immortal deity. It was merely a simple and ancient punch, yet it brought about an extremely shocking effect.

The sky seemed to have been hit by the previous planet-destroying cannon.

No, this is a much larger and more powerful energy cannon.

How vast is the public consciousness of the entire world?
At this moment, the public consciousness, drawing upon the laws of heaven and earth, gathered the power of the entire world, as if encircling God as an isolated island.

"Now, you are the only truly lonely immortal!"

A massive fireball shot into the sky, engulfing the figure of God.

The massive air currents were so intense that even the powerful figures in distant cities couldn't breathe, and huge cloud formations appeared in the sky.

Radio stations across the country are using equipment to monitor celestial phenomena and automatically broadcast weather forecasts.

A category 18 typhoon is approaching our city from the coast.

An earthquake will strike our city in one minute and seven seconds. There are seven epicenters, the closest being in Yun Sheng Province, near the Ping Shui Mountains.

Heavy rain is approaching; please take necessary precautions.

One text message after another popped up on everyone's personal smart devices.

The energy of heaven and earth converges, forming a complex chain reaction.

"We mustn't let this go wrong from the start." The panting deity watched nervously at the spot where the full-force attack had landed.

The next moment, he showed an expression of "I knew it."

As expected, God's figure reappeared in the same spot, quietly watching them.

"It's not that simple after all." The two started arguing again.

“If it were the God of Goliath’s time, he would have died long ago.”

"But obviously not."

"Of course, God has gone through many eras and must have other divine possessions. Let's play all his cards."

"Alright, old man!"
