Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 293 Entering the Parallel Universe of Trials

Normal people usually think things through in their minds; who among decent people would say what's on their mind out loud?

But this person has a habit of talking to himself and muttering to himself.

Liu Jun felt that the goddess of fate was indeed no decent person.

As ordinary people, they all have some strange quirks.

"However, must we defeat the immortal god to form the complete form of the goddess of fate?"

Liu Jun neither confirmed nor denied this.

Concealment and immortality may indeed have an effect.

But what does this have to do with me?
Just as this imposter posing as the Grim Reaper was muttering to herself, Liu Jun activated his stealth ability and slapped her unconscious.

Ah!
A scream.

"Why do you moan so seductively?"

Liu Jun scoffed, "Upper Middle School Fate, Twisted Personality, Erase the Memory of Being Knocked Out!"
Then, they decisively began to extract the opponent's current combined divine power.

【The Fading Butterfly】:
Death (low) + Transformation (medium) + Reality/Illusion (high) + Fate (end)

"Is it only possible to extract her fusion destiny?"

Liu Jun pondered for a moment.

After several tests, it turned out that they could only extract the power of fate after she had fused with it, and they couldn't help but show a hint of regret.

after that.

He decisively awakened her fusion divine power, turning her into his own fairy.

Wow!
A beautiful butterfly of death, dancing gracefully, took flight, as if flying in from a dream.

The Cangwang Butterfly said softly, "If it is your wish, I will certainly obey!"

Liu Jun held the butterfly in one hand, a satisfied look on his face.
"My God's fairy is much weaker than the real god. This butterfly only has one-third of the real god's power."

"But it's not bad. If you add new life to it, it can continuously regenerate and form the divine power of death!"

Liu Jun thought for a moment and suddenly realized a way to exploit the bug.

Ultimate fate.

Skuld can only control the fate of one law at a time.

For example, she is currently in charge of the fate of death, impersonating the Grim Reaper. If she wants to control other things, she has to switch between three [slots].

She can only control the laws and destiny of one god at a time.

And what about my God?
Now we've stolen her fate of death, waiting for her to switch to another fate—the fate of fire, the fate of water, the fate of evolution.
I would ambush her once, then strengthen and regenerate her, transforming her into the corresponding fairy.
I will eventually command an army of fate fairies and control the fate of all the gods!
Back then, wasn't I the true goddess of destiny?
Lord of the gods?

Liu Jun stroked his chin, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at the fallen Skuld in front of him. "It seems my future looks promising!"

Of course.

The reason he was able to achieve such incredible power was because the immortal deities and God had conspired together to create this scheme; their divine powers were indispensable.

"What a magnificent combination attack from divine artifacts!"

Liu Jun stopped thinking about it and quietly left the palace of death.

As for what to do with this goddess of fate? Just leave her here and that's it.

Half a day later.

"Oh no, how did I fall asleep?"

Skuld groggily got up from the table, feeling somewhat strange.

But in the end, he could only conclude that he was just an ordinary person with the constitution of a goddess of fate, and couldn't help but doze off.

after all.

She's now the Grim Reaper.

Anyone who tries to get close to her or harbors ill will towards her in any way will be targeted by her death butterfly.

Misfortune continued.

Walking on the road, you might get hit by a stone, burned by a small candle, or have your finger cut by metal.

And these damage buffs are epic level enhancements.

Even ordinary strongmen can be killed by small stones. Even if you are a god, you can be hit on the head and bleed from a small stone.

Furthermore, the greater the hostility towards her, the closer one gets to her, the stronger the deadly attack will be.

Once you're targeted by Death, all sorts of unexpected events are bound to happen to you!

Therefore, in her realm of death, she didn't believe anyone could get close to her or ambush her; even when she was asleep, almost no one could succeed.

Ancient tree that has lived for a long time.

Liu Jun returned home with a full load of loot, still driving at low, medium, and high stealth levels.

Her death
Can you see yourself getting close in a hidden way?

Furthermore, his ultimate hidden cheat mode is something he generally doesn't need to activate now, as it's sufficient to handle most situations.

"What about the withered butterfly? That's quite interesting."

Liu Jun spent three days at home playing with this power of death and found it to be quite useful.

It has a very high level of playability.

It's like an automatic protective wall; anyone hostile to you will inevitably fall into its trap!
The unique feature of this thing is that it cannot be eliminated!
It is the laws of the entire universe that abhor you in this respect.

Normally, even immortal gods and God, once targeted by Death, have no way to escape it and can only spend their lives choking on water or getting burned by small flames while barbecuing.

That's what makes it so awesome!
Of course, she dares to do that, so she's not afraid that people will come to her door to check her water meter and find the root cause of the problem.

all in all.

If she really hides away and disgusts all the gods, then there's really no way anyone can do anything about it.

"It is mental torture and extreme torture for the gods, and it is an easy way to crush mortals. Below the gods, probably no one can withstand 24 hours of Death's ambushes."

Liu Jun revealed a hint of admiration, "This combination is really good."

But after playing for a while, Liu Jun did not let the demon remain in the state of death's protection.

Because once I take this power out...
That Grim Reaper, probably because of his hostility towards the immortal gods, will suffer all sorts of misfortunes as the genuine Grim Reaper, being a copycat.

Wouldn't that expose that I stole her destiny to play with?
this is not good.

Playing around at home is fine, but if that Grim Reaper finds out, her Dao heart will collapse, and she won't be able to exploit the fate of her new combination anymore.

"Next, we should experiment with another core capability of Destiny."

Liu Jun was in high spirits and prepared to try to sleep, hoping to use the power of destiny to enter another parallel world.

"I want to sleep," Liu Jun said, looking at the amber swallowtail butterfly beside him.

"Okay!" The amber swallowtail butterfly had no doubts.

Liu Jun nodded. The amber swallowtail butterfly was now essentially his storage cabinet for divine artifacts.

He used the thief's magical artifact to transfer various magical artifacts from his own body to the thief for safekeeping.

Furthermore, as his thieving powers increase, the Amber Swallowtail Butterfly's pet storage locker will become increasingly useful.

After all, apart from his adorable little butterfly that had been with him from the beginning, Liu Jun didn't really trust anyone else.

Soon, Liu Jun began to fall into a deep sleep.

Click!

When Liu Jun awoke, he found himself in the palace of the Grim Reaper.

He was clad in black robes and wielded a scythe, clearly indicating that he, possessing the [Azure Butterfly], had become the Grim Reaper in this world.

Or rather, it replaced the original Grim Reaper identity of Skuld.

Am I the Grim Reaper?

Liu Jun experienced the various divine powers within his body.

He was astonished to find that all his other divine powers had vanished.

Now I am just a so-called Grim Reaper.

"It's interesting."

For the first time, Liu Jun felt that he lacked the wisdom series, the longevity series, and the concealment series.

Empty.

I feel terrible, very insecure, and like I have no means of protecting myself.

"Alright, I'll go for a walk."

Liu Jun went out for a walk and discovered that this parallel world was basically no different from reality.

There have been some changes throughout history, but not major ones.

He had taken the place of Death, but Fortuna, the goddess of fate, Jehovah, the god of immortality, still resided here.
After several confirmations, Liu Jun basically concluded:
God, the immortal deity, is not himself, but an independent entity in a parallel universe.

They are two separate individuals, not two different identities.

After all, it is.

The fate of this mere mortal cannot yet fathom the underlying logic of the mushroom soup, nor can it uncover the truth.

It's really just a world that's both real and unreal.

Three years later.

Liu Jun continues to serve as the Grim Reaper.

The immortal deities remained in seclusion year after year, while God ruled the world.

By becoming one of God's subordinate gods, he began to work, busy building the world of death, and finally, from an outsider's perspective, felt the terrifying oppressive power of "God".

The greatest terror in the world comes from the unknown.

The unknown is mysterious.

The mysterious God is shrouded in mystery; no one knows the extent of His mysterious powers or the limits of His abilities.
Omniscience gives people a sense of oppression, as if they are being seen through.

In short, the greatest fear of human beings is scaring themselves.

"The pressure is indeed outrageous."

As the Grim Reaper, Liu Jun also silently endures God's oppression and continues to "live on" in this parallel world.

For the next period of time.

Liu Jun began using the power of the Grim Reaper to release a batch of "Death Notes" into the human world.

Anyone who obtains the Death Note can write down a person's time of death, manner of death (e.g., burned to death, choked to death), etc.
"Go and fight for it!"

"If we get it, we can obtain a portion of the power of Death!"

"Grab it!"

And so the whole earth boiled over because of death!
The appearance of the Death Note, this man-made artifact, has given rise to many moving and inspiring stories.

Liu Jun's goal was not just to have fun, but also to perform the duties of the God of Death: to produce more deadly ingredients to make soup.

Let's see if we can survive to a moderate level of death in this world.

A thousand years after Liu Jun fell into slumber.

Unfortunately, no creator god appeared to bring forth the divine trials.

Liu Jun chose to remain asleep.

Ten thousand years have passed, and still no creator god has appeared.

At this point, Liu Jun realized that this parallel world was flawed; there was no creator god eating mushrooms and choosing one of three options.

After all, the final fate of the mushrooms comes from the mushroom soup, and they don't yet have the exaggerated power to affect the underlying logic of the mushroom soup itself.

"Without the trials of the gods, is it truly impossible to make soup here?"

"That's all."

Liu Jun started a new attempt: "Let's go take a look at the black hole."

In reality, he seeks stability and dares not venture into the black hole.

Here, he sought out the immortal god and obtained a "temporary travel permit," allowing his true form to leave the abode of the gods and head alone to the black hole.

He quickly arrived at a region of stars via the space train.

"Is this the black hole?"

Liu Jun looked at the dark, dense area in the distance.

"I estimate that this parallel universe will face a chaotic catastrophe in a while, but I'm too lazy to follow that plot, so I'd rather come here and explore."

"However, without the divine power of immortality and God's power, I am just a simple low-level death god, and I would probably be dead by now."

Liu Jun didn't care; it was just a dream trial in a parallel universe that would eventually open up his destiny.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Jun quietly entered the black hole.

He felt himself being swallowed by an enormous, exaggerated suction force as soon as he got close.

Everything around was distorted; even the light was being stretched into noodles, forming vortexes.

Rotate, rotate, rotate.

It's like riding a carousel.

And suddenly a sense of disjointed contradiction arose.

Liu Jun felt his thinking was declining, but at the same time he felt that his thinking was not changing, otherwise how could he still think normally?
suddenly.

Liu Jun sensed something and suddenly turned his head to look at the world outside the black hole.

It felt like the outside world had entered a super-accelerated, cosmic mode!
The nebula outside the black hole changes rapidly, with strange high-frequency flashes, as if the entire universe has been fast-forwarded.

"So, the flow of time inside a black hole is different from that outside?"

Liu Jun understood immediately, "It seems that relativity is quite scientific after all!"

And he had a completely new idea.

This is probably another place of trial.

Previously it was a spatial ocean, now it's a time vortex.

After figuring all this out, Liu Jun decisively dived down, and kept diving!

But he found himself moving very slowly, and in the swirling vortex, he was like being spun in a washing machine, enduring the immense force of being struck by various rotating ocean currents.

No.

If this continues, we'll be worn down sooner or later.

But Liu Jun had no other divine power, so he persevered and activated his death power to continue enduring the ordeal.

Ten years, a hundred years
I don’t know how long it took.

He finally entered the inner vortex of this vortex funnel.

At this moment, Liu Jun saw that he was not the only one making a carousel; several other civilizations were also making carousels.

They glanced at Liu Jun, their expressions showing shock:

"How did that guy do it? He didn't need to use molecular frequency matching to build a time train to withstand the rotation of time, yet he could just tough it out?"

"How can someone withstand that with their bare body? It's like something out of a myth!"

Liu Jun looked at his companions who were riding the carousel together and then carefully observed the surrounding environment.

"Did they build a time train? To resist the erosion?" He realized that although he seemed to be very close to them, and everyone was spinning in the vortex, they seemed to be spinning a few more times than him, but in reality, the distance between them and him was extremely far.

They probably entered very early on.

Liu Jun glanced at the other civilizations, said no, and continued to slowly sink to the bottom of the vortex.

When he finally crashed into the center of the vortex, Liu Jun discovered that it was strangely calm there; there was no vortex, only a small, crowded center of a disc.

With just one glance, he saw countless ruins of civilization piled up like mountains.

[Ten Fingers Civilization: Wrong, wrong, wrong again! Diving is easy for us, but surfacing is difficult.]

The text here is filled with an indescribable shock, fear, tragedy, and collapse felt by the survivors after a fierce struggle and the despair they witnessed.

"so poor."

Liu Jun was taken aback, and was about to see where they had gone wrong.

But then a dark figure suddenly attacked.

The opponent's endless pressure made one feel incredibly insignificant.

The figure appeared to be a large armored warship representing the convergence of civilizations, possessing a pseudo-seventh-tier aura similar to Fortuna's, but even more powerful.

Bang!
Just one impact.

Death was instantly killed, and a divine object was pulled from Liu Jun's body.

A hoarse, weathered voice, filled with despair, rang in my ears.
"Wait, what's going on with this civilization? The power emanating from its corpse is simply unbelievable."

"what!"

When the other party comes into contact with this divine object, the power of death will also lead him to his death.
