Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 229 A Bumper Harvest, Everyone's Speculation

Although the current gods are not as powerful as these sixth-order civilizations.

However, as long as they still yearn for order and stability, they will be subject to the control of the goddess of abundance.

Bottom line is the foundation of a civilization!

There are no bottom lines.

They would then fear that their offspring would kill them, the parents.

They must uphold the bottom line and offer sacrifices to the goddess of abundance.

"Let's wait and see how they develop."

"Their cultivation speed is outrageously fast. I'm afraid that as long as they dare to give birth, the tenth generation of babies will soon appear, and a group of peak experts at the tenth level of the sixth rank will emerge."

Liu Jun was making his own judgments and calculations.

The goddess of abundance beside him looked surprised. "After staying here for more than a month, I have truly witnessed the strange thing that one can become stronger simply by giving birth without needing to cultivate."

What is the essence of cultivation?

God said calmly, "Don't be locked into the framework of reality. The essence of cultivation is the evolution of life, and the most primitive way of life to evolve is through iterative evolution through reproduction."

"You, Goddess of Fertility, are in charge of hybrid rice. The evolution of rice is carried out by frantically leaving behind generations of offspring."

"Strictly speaking, it is too difficult for a person to evolve on their own, and it is far more effective than the process of having offspring."

The reason why everyone was shocked and didn't understand was because...

It's simply because people willingly believe the outcome they want to see.

Reproduction is the optimal option for raising the life level of a species.

This is how monkeys evolved into humans through repeated reproduction.

However, through repeated training, they became too individualistic and heroic, forgetting that evolution is essentially a product of collectivism and belongs to a species.

"Let's go back."

"Yes! It's been over a month, the gods should have finished collecting the resources from that ruin."

When Liu Jun returned to the ruins with the Goddess of Abundance, he found that the gods' laborers had already finished collecting the heritage of this civilization and brought it back to the mushroom soup.

Liu Jun was very satisfied with what he saw.

My mushroom soup has entered a new era.

It seems that I may not be limited to herding my own vegetable garden in the future.

The greater the harvest, the more the animals graze in the outside world.

If an outside civilization were to become extinct, we could use the cultural heritage they painstakingly collected from various star systems to fill the sand table and expand the area of ​​our mushroom garden!
And these gods, the god of magic, the god of alchemy, and the god of light are all his underlings, helping him transport supplies for free.
All you have to do is give a good spiel and you're done!
Especially the ecstatic researcher of *Rhodopsys gloriosa*, who now possessed the art of alchemy, was overjoyed:
"Incredible, incredible! Their bodies are so special, containing a unique substance that even my power of transformation between reality and illusion cannot produce!"

He studied the corpses of ordinary people, each one possessing the power to crush even the gods.

"The unique substance in their bodies is present in very small quantities, appearing almost exclusively during pregnancy, amounting to less than 0.0007 grams!"

It is important to know that the transformation between the real and the virtual can create things out of nothing.

However, the fact that something within them couldn't even create such a divine object means that this thing might be the origin of the sixth-order realm!
This can be considered a groundbreaking breakthrough for everyone studying sixth-tier powerhouses.

This excited many people.

"Indeed, only by herding a large number of sixth-order life forms can one learn these things."

"Yes, before there were only Adam and Eve, we couldn't fight or kill them. If there weren't so many corpses now, how could we have detected this sixth-order substance?"

"Only a sixth-stage pregnancy can give birth to this substance, requiring even more stringent conditions!"

"Stop arguing. I believe it's this substance that appears during pregnancy that allowed those babies to break through to the sixth level."

Don't underestimate these construction workers who are chatting and cleaning up the floor.

Although they were weak, they still had to rely on various auxiliary methods to move the corpses, for fear of being burned by the residual power of the corpses or by a single drop of blood.

Although they couldn't even defeat the corpses of these ordinary residents, they could be easily crushed to death by these ordinary people.

However, in the world of the fifth tier, they are the chosen ones who have fought their way up from the first tier to the peak of the fifth tier.

Some of them were great magicians, wizards, alchemists, demons, or archangels in their time.

Now we finally see hope for a breakthrough.

"Hahaha, a sixth-order civilization has fallen. Adam, Eve, and Cain could not escape. We fifth-order beings hiding in the shadows can eat and drink our fill!"

"Friend, the way you're saying that makes you sound like a villain. We're on the side of justice, so be careful what you say!"

"Yes, I don't want to become the overthrown demon king!"

"It's alright. What demon king? What overthrow? We have a fallen God! Even their sixth-order civilization will feel the oppressive feeling of [God's words]."

"Don't go crazy. How big is the difference in realm? A God at the peak of the fifth rank might be able to beat a God at the early stage of the sixth rank, but they have already reached the middle stage of the sixth rank! A God might not even be able to beat an ordinary commoner of the fifth generation."

"Everyone, let's give this new element a name."

"Infant element, infant essence?"

"can."

The young powerhouses who were brought out continued to discuss.

Many of them felt that the mystery surrounding the sixth tier was about to be unveiled.

It is definitely this infant essence that is the secret to this sixth-order evolution!
"God of Alchemy, you can create things out of thin air. Is it because your skill is insufficient to create Infant Essence, or is it that this divine object itself cannot do it?" The wise angel beside him couldn't help but speak up, "If it were mass-produced, we would definitely take off instantly!"

"It's a divine object, both real and illusory, that can't possibly be created!"

Butterfly Red Fungus is a research genius. "Of course, it's possible that my divine power is insufficient. I need the entire series of divine artifacts to further transform my divine power before I can possibly create this so-called Infant Essence!"

Liu Jun listened to the two men's discussion from afar, his expression utterly calm.

Collect the complete series?

That's not possible in the short term.

His illusory and real divine power comes from the attribute series.

Let's set aside the discussion of the five elements and their light and darkness for now.

Energy conversion is a magical artifact, currently in the hands of the first human emperor, the god of magic.

The final Chaos God artifact landed next door, and the calamity of the God artifact is probably about to erupt, which is quite a headache.

soon.

They brought all the bodies back to Liu Jun's mushroom soup.

The entire starry sky was blank, as if it had been smoothed out by a giant hand.

This also caused the entire Butterfly World to expand three times in size!
A sudden windfall.

Liu Jun, as God, was quite satisfied as he listened to the news from heaven.

"As expected, simply developing normally is not enough."

"We still have to harvest civilization, like harvesting leeks one crop after another, to get rich." It's just a pity that the surrounding resources have been depleted, and this place is extremely barren.

Those Kryptonian superheroes have already gone to a relatively far place to build a new home.

The next harvest will require going a little further out.

But it's just a minor inconvenience.

and.

Once we set a baseline for civilization for them, they will no longer be a barbaric, untamed civilization without any bottom line, and will begin to enter an era of orderly society.

As long as we develop honestly, reaching level six and level ten should be no problem at all.

"A great harvest! I've added a lot more ingredients to my pot for making soup and adding fuel to the fire."

"Now we can adjust the flow rate of time to be longer."

Liu Jun's logic is very clear.

Currently, he has three main areas of development.

1. A magical world.

There's really not much room for development here. The peak of the fifth tier is the limit; everyone is on Ragnarok, and no further breakthroughs are allowed. It's like being locked down by the technological barriers of civilization.

Fear of the appearance of the sixth order.

2. The world of immortals.

The fifth-tier peak is the limit, but there is still room for development.

Unaware of the despair of the sixth order, they are currently full of vigor, busy dealing with the final divine calamity and the great flood.

Actually, you only need to occasionally observe their rhythm.

Ultimately, even divine objects can be a hidden danger.

If you can't hold on any longer, maybe you could just dump the flood of chaos that has caused this disaster out of your own vegetable garden?

Liu Jun, mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace, has already begun to regard the sixth-order civilization outside as a dumping ground.

3. Sixth-order civilization.

This is what Liu Jun needs to pay the most attention to.

The two fifth-order civilizations in his mushroom soup have basically reached their peak. The future is the sixth-order era, and he will definitely prioritize developing this sixth-order civilization.

"Let's get to work!"

Liu Jun immediately started burning the mushroom soup, slowing down time in his mushroom soup world and making time outside relatively faster.

The outside world moves at a rapid pace, like a revolving lantern, with the starry sky flashing and twinkling intensely.

Just as Liu Jun began his seclusion to adjust the flow rate of the mushroom soup.

The Age of Magic.

"Infant Essence!"

The goddess of fertility, the god of alchemy, the angel of wisdom, and the god of magic—the four great giants of research in this era have gathered here.

Rella, who was not good at research, and the God of Light and others naturally did not participate in this matter.

“Abundance, can’t you use propagation to ensure that everyone in the era has this infant essence?” Sirius, the god of magic, frowned.

"You overestimate me."

The Goddess of Plenty snorted coldly, "Even the power of alchemy cannot create such a substance in the void, how could I possibly spread it? I will not create something out of nothing."

Communication, in essence, is transmission.

Even alchemy that creates things from nothing can't do it, so naturally it can't.

"Then let's start the experiment. Let's implant the Infant Essence into the body of a peak fifth-tier expert. Perhaps if this thing exists, he can break through without having children."

They began by extracting trace amounts of infant essence from the corpses of thousands of sixth-tier residents, and then injecting it into the body of a fifth-tier peak volunteer.

However, the results of the experiment were unsatisfactory.

Bang! !

It exploded on the spot.

This fifth-tier powerhouse still managed to reproduce, and then he perished!

"Was the result the same?"

“Keep trying!”

After numerous experiments, they discovered that Infant Essence appears to be an evolutionary substance that nurtures the next generation of sixth-tier powerhouses.

We cannot allow people to make breakthroughs on their own.

It only has the effect of making one pregnant.

This is very disappointing.

They continued their experiments and found that the substance was indeed quite effective.

They used this to refine a potion. Although it couldn't allow strong individuals to break through to the sixth rank, it could help some weaker individuals to break through quickly.

It is a powerful and precious medicine.

Third, fourth, and fifth tiers—using this thing, you can quickly break through to the next level.

But this result only fueled more dissatisfaction.

This is a precious substance that can only be extracted from the fallen sixth-tier powerhouse, and it can only help the weak become stronger?
Just when everyone was frowning and looking worried.

Suddenly the angel of wisdom said, "Do you still remember Elephant Thomo?"

"You mean...?" The butterfly red fungus paused slightly.

The angel of wisdom stretched out its snow-white wings, and the holy halo above its head glowed faintly.

"Yes, the essence of the sixth order is evolution."

"If we want to break through to the sixth rank, we must start with evolution."

"Don't forget, the divine object that Elephant Monk possesses is the Light of Evolution!"

These words seemed to awaken someone from a dream.

They still remember the last words left by Elephant Thoth from a distant era.

Before he died, he transformed his body into a statue to suppress the evolutionary divine object within him; otherwise, an evolutionary catastrophe even more terrifying than the previous catastrophe of intelligence would have erupted.

But those were those years, and now is now.

No matter how terrifying the catastrophe of evolution may be, they now have the courage to try it.

just in case
This evolutionary artifact is the key artifact they've forgotten for many years; it can help them break through to the sixth rank.
