Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 286 A New Choice
Liu Jun's eyes flickered.
"This spatial artifact looks so ordinary and not particularly valuable."

"But after all the near-death experiences and frantic struggles of this civilization, this spatial artifact inexplicably started to smell delicious."

Seeing how hard the people in the introduction worked and how difficult it was, it was still not as good as the spatial ocean that I could casually create with a divine object.

Even Liu Jun was somewhat affected by this emotion and fell silent.

That wall hanging is truly awful.

Of course, I'm an exception.

"This time, the introduction of the divine item was unexpectedly good at selling. I give this advertising slogan full marks. It even makes me want to choose it myself."

Delicious food always tastes better when there's competition for it.

Another question is, is the story in this introduction real?
Is it fictional, or something that actually happened?

Liu Jun used his extraordinary wisdom to think about it for a moment and felt that it might be true.

Because of the previous cyberpunk civilization, they began to study the collision of spatial bubbles. Although they did not succeed, they created a low-space artifact by exploiting a bug.

The later Flower People civilization possessed fleet jump technology, but it was not yet fully developed.

The subsequent Baal Age civilization, and even the Deep Ones civilization, had already acquired the ability to dive into the deep sea and traverse star systems at will.

Although it was not worth paying attention to in Liu Jun's eyes and was considered a rather trashy space jump technique, after all, he himself possessed a spatial artifact.

Furthermore, Liu Jun was still busy with his own family matters and rarely used his spatial artifacts to explore.

But now that I think about it carefully...

They were indeed following the divine hierarchy of reproduction, and their spatial technology was gradually improving.

If they were to actually develop a space train, or even dive into the deep sea, it wouldn't be impossible. However, a civilization that would be so reckless would likely be doomed.

"The deep sea?"

Liu Jun pondered for a moment, then thought it seemed quite interesting.

We all live on an isolated island.

Traveling at the speed of light is equivalent to flying an airplane over the sea, but it is subject to speed limitations.

Space travel is like driving a submarine underwater. It's unrestricted, but you'll encounter various ocean currents and unexpected dangers.

This is the end.

That concludes the introduction of the three divine objects.

How to choose?
The first thing to rule out is the death series.

The Deathly Hallows are special; they are simply divine artifacts.

Anyone can use it; there's no need for you to choose.

At worst, we can just wait for this death artifact to appear, snatch it ourselves, and get a free spot in the divine artifact category.

The location of one's own divine artifact is extremely important!

Furthermore, the "death series" seems to have significant side effects, so I'd like to have a guinea pig try it out before making a decision!
It is said that even the most powerful magical artifacts have various side effects.

The Destiny series has significant side effects, leading to various farcical situations involving the goddess of fate.

The evolution series, where the character becomes a food god and licks and eats everything indiscriminately, is acceptable, but it's not particularly special or powerful enough, existing as a foundation like the spread of the food.

The propagation series is rare in that it has no side effects, but it is not strong in itself.

The Hidden Series has side effects even greater than fate itself, so Liu Jun doesn't dare to use it much, and if he does, he can only use it for a short time before immediately turning it off.

The Chaos series—chaos goes without saying, it's like a tattoo on Guan Yu's body, even Baal, the god of magic, couldn't withstand it.

The Wisdom and Longevity series is one that has few side effects and is quite effective.

Liu Jun looked at the remaining two and became somewhat conflicted.

Ultimately, its strength is beyond question!

As someone who prioritizes strength, Liu Jun naturally took a liking to the opponent's strength at first glance.

It can replicate low, medium, and high-level divine objects, and combine them with the ultimate destiny to form a mixed series of fused divine objects.

However, the side effects are significant!
Furthermore, if you obtain the Ultimate Fate, you should also obtain the other three Fates that come with it, right? If you don't, the Ultimate Fate cannot be strengthened, and you won't be able to fuse the several copied divine objects together.
After taking control of fate, I'll have four side effects. One is becoming a forgetful, simple-minded person like Fortuna, and just thinking about it makes me feel a bit overwhelmed.

To obtain the entire Destiny set, you need four artifact slots, plus three extra artifact slots, and there are four fatal side effects!
“I can awaken the fairy of fate and then use ultimate fate. I don’t need to take fate myself.” After struggling for a while, he dismissed the idea.

After eliminating two options, only the spatial artifact remains. The description of this artifact is somewhat appealing to him, as it seems to be related to the level of cosmic civilization.

"Anyway, once you've made your choice, you can always change it later."

Liu Jun made up his mind, "Besides, there are spatial oceans in the real universe, but my mushroom soup is artificial and doesn't have a spatial ocean."

"I can just create an artificial ocean with a mushroom soup."

Liu Jun felt that only God could do this. Even if other gods obtained this divine object, they might not have the powerful magic to create a vast ocean of space.

As for your question, what's the point of creating a space ocean in such a small area?
With such a small area, land commuting is sufficient. Why build underwater infrastructure? Building a space train, or even a small artificial ocean area for deep-sea diving, would be superfluous.

But Liu Jun felt that he should have everything that the outside universe had.

And your own mushroom soup will gradually grow bigger, so you'll definitely be able to use it.

Another one is...

"With this thing, I can go out into the deep ocean and explore to see if there is an underwater train or the Atlantis civilization hiding on the seabed."

A meaningful look appeared in Liu Jun's eyes.

Whether he is Atlantis or not, he will be called that name as long as I want him to.

They were subjected to the cruel torture of fate, brainwashed meal after meal!
Then comes the God of Magic, awakening and transforming your species with Yin and Yang and the Five Elements; then comes evolution, localizing your species. A whole combo of punches—how can you possibly withstand that?
She became a new NPC on my mushroom soup map, just like Fortuna next door; that's how she tricked those civilizations.

Furthermore, her singing is a bit amateurish, and her fishing area is too narrow. She doesn't know how to fish in the sea, but now it seems there might be big fish hiding there.

"This thing may not be powerful, but it is the key to my exploration outside and the key to unlocking new adventure maps."

I decisively chose this divine item.

The next moment, space entered his body, and Liu Jun felt as if he had opened up a new perspective.

If Death can see the world of death, and fate can see the world of musical notes, then space can see the ocean of space.

"I lost my space before, but I got another one now." He grumbled for a moment, then looked at the interface under his eyelids.

The advancement to the sixth rank is quite unique.

Even without deliberately cultivating, Liu Jun still managed to reach the 30th level of the Divine Age by using other people's cards for free.

After Liu Jun finished drawing the card, he withdrew his hand, allowing the goddess of fate, Fortuna, to return to normal. "That's enough."

"Okay?"

The goddess of fate, Fortuna, was stunned and hadn't reacted yet when a huge face appeared in the sky.

Clearly, the creator god has descended to begin the divine trials.

Just then, the immortal god also joined in the fun, his voice resounding through the sky as he coldly said, "The legendary miracles have never been seen on the outer continents, so let's just open the shield of the Gods' Abode!"

No sooner had he spoken than the immortal deity concealed the membrane of the mushroom soup.

An even more terrifying scene then unfolded: the creator god, who had previously only appeared in the sky above the mushroom soup, suddenly appeared above this sea of ​​stars.

Countless beings from outer planets, distant stars, and even the entire civilization of the God Continent beneath their feet came to the streets, staring blankly at the scene in the sky.

It was a majestic presence, as if it had parted the clouds and appeared in the entire universe, overlooking the galaxy below.

The majestic and vast creator god pondered for a moment, chose the divine object, and slowly turned to leave.

on earth.

"My God, has the Creator God already arrived in the universe?"

"Yes, it's no longer limited to the Trial of the Gods area!"

"Hahaha, do you think it's possible that one day, the trial area for the divine artifact will expand, and the divine artifact will fly to other star systems throughout the universe, where everyone will scramble for it?"

Ah! That's possible!

God listened to their conversation and was somewhat pleased.

Wouldn't this be like the Dragon Balls, flying to various regions of the universe, and then a bunch of people fighting over them?

It has potential, but unfortunately I can't do it right now.

Mushrooms used for making soup can only end up in the soup, unless they turn the entire universe into a giant soup. How do you turn the universe into a giant soup? You'd probably need chaos to bring that soup to a boil, but that's suicidal.

Beside her, the goddess of fate Fortuna was also stunned by what she saw. "The immortal god, as expected, is someone who loves to play with life. She actually pulled this stunt."

Fortuna grew somewhat impatient and got down to business: "So, did you see the true face of that goddess of fate? Who is she, and what are the characteristics of a divine being?"

Liu Jun, of course, couldn't say.

However, this new goddess of fate is indeed a master of concealment.

The artifact of death has always been hidden deep within the depths of death, and this new goddess of fate, Skadi, impersonates the newly emerged goddess of death by replicating one of the artifacts.

That was a brilliant move.

This time, fate dealt another fatal blow upon first meeting.

Logically speaking, a new divine artifact should only choose one host, but who knew that you would have two divine artifacts as soon as you appeared.
Who could have imagined that fate and death would emerge at the same time, and that this time the goddess of fate would take the place of the god of death, impersonate the god of death, and blend into the ranks of the gods?

No one could have predicted this characteristic of fate; it is impossible to guard against.

Of course, if Liu Jun hadn't secretly read the script and was just a simple God, even he would probably have been kept in the dark and suffered another first-meeting defeat.

Most importantly, the object of death is also very cooperative in hiding, and it will probably take a long time before its location is discovered.

She can keep pretending forever.

Looking at the nervous Fortuna, Liu Jun thought to himself, "The infighting of fate is about to begin again. Fortuna is probably going to suffer another first-meeting defeat and get tricked badly."
