Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 245 The Hidden Terror

Your name?

It is clearly my sacred object, yet even its name is hidden.

Should we guard against our own people?
Liu Jun mentally complained.

My fourth ultimate artifact, it's a bit crazy!
But at least I finally felt its presence.

Liu Jun sat cross-legged.

It's good that you can sense it!

He began to study this mysterious power within his body, trying to understand it, use it, and feel it.

But to no avail.

The more you try to sense it, the more blurred and incomprehensible it becomes.

But the strangest thing is that suddenly there is a feeling that the more incomprehensible something is, the more one can use its power.

Liu Jun couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"You can only use it if you can't understand it; the more you try to understand it, the less you can use it."

"How could such an outrageous divine object exist in this world?"

"Is this the real mystery?"

"Mystery makes it powerful?"

Liu Jun sensed that the value of the Hidden Series might be higher than he had imagined.

Compared to the four wisdoms in the Wisdom series, this seemingly ordinary series is actually the most unfathomable.

Liu Jun began to shift his strategy.

Instead of trying to understand it, try to feel it using your body's instincts.

Just like breathing instinctively, feel your breathing rate and try to control it.

call!
what!
call!
As his breathing became steady, Liu Jun finally sensed its presence, and even learned its real name, which was...
XXXX!

But even if Liu Jun said it aloud, it would only appear as gibberish to those whose cultivation level was insufficient, and they would not be able to see the real name at all.

Anti-logical.

Thinking in reverse.

Incomprehensible.

Unable to recognize.

"Activate XXXX".

Liu Jun took a deep breath, and the real name he spoke turned into gibberish again.

"I, the God of Concealment, have been lying low for so long, and now I am finally making my grand entrance!"

In an instant, the whole world seemed to have changed.

A terrifying, indescribable power rose from Liu Jun's body, engulfing the entire world.

Everyone stared blankly up at the sky:
"what is that?"

It was a distorted being whose form could not be seen, but everyone felt that some kind of life was there.

It seems that something extremely twisted and unsightly is slowly descending upon this world.

"When I activate this divine artifact, I actually enter some kind of transformation form?"

At this moment, all the books, epics, myths, and stone tablets in the world that recorded this gradually lost any trace of the immortal gods.

at the same time.

"what happened?"

Inside a magic academy in a kingdom, a person teaching the history of immortal gods suddenly saw the words on the book gradually blurring and disappearing.

"It's over, our memories of the immortal gods are fading!"

"Have we been attacked by some divine calamity?"

"How is this possible!? A memory attack?"

Just as everyone was in shock, even their shock began to gradually subside.

Their expressions turned calm.

Even their unease about this super attack that affects the entire world has begun to be concealed.

Palace of the Gods.

The gods are having a meeting.

Cain suddenly shouted, "What's happening? What's attacking us?"

The Demon King was also enraged: "Annihilate this unknown divine power invasion!"

All the gods are trying to resist.

However, the power of high-ranking gods was too terrifying; even their fears and memories began to be concealed.

When they no longer know what they are resisting, they stop resisting.

Three seconds later, the gods' expressions returned to normal.

"Where did we just talk?"

"Hmm, how do we resist those heroes from the Age of Gods?"

"Then let's continue."

Only Cain, the leader, and the Demon King showed signs of drastic change in expression:
Have all the gods forgotten us?
The concealment is still accelerating.

Concealing my traces is just the beginning.

"This is the ability to conceal all kinds of concepts!"

Liu Jun felt an unprecedented sense of freedom, as if he could perceive everything in the world.

The air is fresh, the water flows, tender buds break through the soil, and babies are born.

"Am I concealing my alienation from the world?"

"Eliminating the distance between me and the world?"

Liu Jun suddenly realized that he seemed to have become everyone, able to sense all things in the world; he was everything, he was all.

In this form, he seemed to have become an omnipotent god.

Finally, just when all the gods had lost their memories, the goddess of abundance, who controlled the four ways of propagation, emerged.

"You are."

The Goddess of Plenty's eyes were filled with shock, astonishment, and fear. "God of Immortality, how could it be you? Are you rewriting the world's understanding of you?"

At this moment, Fortuna, the goddess of fate who also possessed special divinity and barely managed to preserve her understanding of destiny, also emerged.

"The immortal deity".

A deep sense of apprehension flashed in Fortuna's eyes.

Her ability to determine fate failed to detect any changes in the future before her.

I can't see the future.

It is clear that the immortal deity possesses the ability to conceal itself from the monitoring of fate.

"Immortal God, what do you wish to do?"

Cain and Behemoth, the Demon King, also stepped forward, revealing a deep sense of fear.

In the world, only a handful of them can maintain their consciousness and barely withstand the hidden attacks.

The immortal deity's personality is characterized by freedom and unrestrainedness; he used to do whatever he wanted.

Who knows what he's going to do now?
Cain and the Demon King glanced at the Fate Goddess Fortuna: "So you've finally decided to come out now?"

Fortuna crossed her arms and said with a proud expression:

"What use is it for you to know my identity now? If I'm not mistaken, we'll all lose this memory in a moment."

"Because the hidden power is rapidly increasing."

"As this power increases, we will soon forget what is happening now and become just like ordinary people."

Fortuna's eyes showed shock.

She never imagined that the immortal deity could also inflict a fate attack similar to hers, causing people to lose their memories.

Perhaps the immortal gods had launched several world-class stealth attacks before. However, the gods at that time were too weak, not even reaching the sixth rank, and lost their memories in an instant when attacked.

The immortal deity revealed a hint of interest: "Destiny, can you foresee my ever-growing concealment?"

Do the immortal gods know that I hold destiny in my hands?

It's important to know that she has never revealed this to the public.

Fortuna said, "Then I'll try to take a look, but you can't be too wary of me and leave your defenses wide open."

“Yes,” said the immortal deity.

Fortuna felt a surge of fighting spirit, channeling all her vocal energy into her song, orchestrating the Symphony of Fate, and envisioning the future that would follow this moment:

"We can see a tiny bit."

"Your transformation form has ten shackles. Each time you unlock one layer, you will release your next hidden form."

"The world exists within a framework; gravity, light, water, and fire each have their own rules."

"Cang lives in a cage, but you have dismantled ten layers of cages. You are the freest man in the world."

Nothing can find you, nothing can bind you.

The goddess of abundance and others standing nearby showed a hint of disbelief.

Humans live under rules!
And the various divine objects of today are themselves one of the fundamental orders that embody rules and regulations!

Birth, growth, death—that's the way it is.

Touching creates sensation, using the brain leads to thought, and being killed results in death—these are the rules.

What happens when a person hides these frameworks?
The immortal god, the freest man in the world.

If a person is killed, will they die?

No, I can't.

I have no concept of death, because I have hidden it from my mind.

He possesses immortality, meaning he is eternally young, immortal, and indestructible.

With his ability to conceal himself, nothing can bind him.

“Then wouldn’t we be immune to attacks?” Cain said.

Fortuna coldly analyzed:
"You can understand it this way: concealment itself makes you unattackable, but this more advanced concealment makes you unattackable even in concept! Theoretically, even the gods cannot break through this invincible defense!"

"Even if it has never appeared, the Grim Reaper who controls death cannot grant him death, because death will hide in its presence."

"And your understanding is still one-sided."

As the goddess of fate, her perspective differs from that of all the other gods; she sees the delicate threads of cause and effect.

She is better at thinking about the world from a macro perspective.

"When a life is not bound by frameworks, what will the limit of freedom become? It will become the world itself."

"If the immortal deity continues to allow this power to grow, breaking through layer after layer of shackles, even the concept of the 'true self' will be hidden. You will lose yourself, completely merge with the Dao, and become part of heaven and earth."

"You will vanish into nothingness; no one can find you, not even you yourself."

"Living like this is as good as being dead."

Fortuna kept deducing, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Yes.

Rules are shackles, constraints, but also protection!

With shackles, molecular structure, bones and internal organs, breathing and exhalation—these are all rules that allow people to maintain a basic human form.

A person without shackles has no molecular structure and has even lost the form of a human being.

The divine power of the immortal deity is too strong, but the side effects are also terrifying.

In the end, when all shackles are removed, even one's own self will disappear into an unknown corner.

Upon hearing Fortuna's assessment, Liu Jun seemed to ponder something:
"Just as I guessed, once I entered my transformed form, my stealth increased exponentially, breaking free from the constraints of the world."

"But I will also be completely lost in this terrifying power, and soon I won't even be able to find myself."

He probably already had some guesses.

This is even with his current immortal divine power, which allows him to lock his state.

Otherwise, if it were any other single-target deity, after using this XXXX, they would probably become addicted to it, obsessed with its power, and disappear without a trace.

In other words.

Only an immortal god like myself can barely control this power?

However, it is still not advisable to use it for too long!
This thing is like depression; it constantly obscures the concept of "I," and if you use it for a long time, you will lose your true self.

"But we can still keep trying."

"After all, I already possess this divine power, wouldn't it be a waste not to use it?"

Liu Jun's gaze bypassed the shocked gods and landed on the mushroom soup.

The next moment, he unlocked another shackle.

With a gentle touch, the barrier of the mushroom soup was concealed!

boom!
The walls of the mushroom soup were hidden.

The restrictions on mushroom soup have also completely disappeared.

???

What the hell?

The gods stared wide-eyed, swallowing hard. "How is this possible?! We can get out?"

The gods, having obtained the divine artifact, were essentially confined to the mushroom broth and could not bring it out.

After all, the mushrooms, the magic ingredient in mushroom soup, are originally just a food item.

How can food in a pot just run away by itself?
But now, Liu Jun has made an outrageous move: he has eliminated the barriers to the world of mushroom soup.

Are these ingredients, like mushrooms, allowed to leave this big pot freely?
What's the difference between this and a hairy crab in a hot pot suddenly grabbing your chopsticks, running out of the hot pot, and onto the dining table?
"This is... breaking the shackles of the creator god! Is it really possible for a god to do this?" Cain couldn't help but tremble with fear.

"Could the Creator God be dreaming of killing the God of Immortality?"

The previous immortal gods gave people the greatest impression of immortality, eternal life, and new life.

It's good enough to survive, but not good enough to attack.

But the immortal deity has now revealed his second series of divine artifacts.

Now that it has entered stealth mode, it seems to wield a pair of all-powerful hands.

Whatever it touches, it will hide.

Is this the Hand of A Certain Magical Index?

At that moment, they felt that the value of the immortal deity far surpassed that of God.

So fierce!
The gods could not leave their homes; they could only send out their divine power to create clones of themselves outside.

And this god can go out freely?

The immortal deity probably only goes out to take a look around occasionally, right?

Who knows, we could try other mushroom soups, if the creator god makes more than just this one.
Their minds were racing, and the more they thought about it, the more excited they became.

In their time, there was no longer much need to curry favor with the gods of immortality.

Because of their immortality, locking their state is no longer that important to them.

Most of the time, the effect of immortal divine power is equivalent to having a healing potion inside your body to heal your injuries.

Since everyone is a fragile mage and they generally don't get close to the heroes of the God Era, they don't really rely on them.

As for the new students?

They're not like the immortals next door; they use a magic net.

Your immortal cultivation method relies on newly generated divine power and physical strength to recover divine power, which is definitely not as fast as the magic network absorbing the power of heaven and earth to recover.

Therefore, the immortal deities have not been valued by them in recent years and have been living in seclusion on the ancient tree of immortality.

but now.

This is a bit too much!
