Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 354 Coping with and the New Trial of the Gods

The group was utterly astonished, feeling as if they had been covered by an invisible net.

Even the few divine objects they possess here—essence, energy, and spirit—were foreshadowed in advance.
Is it to give birth to immortals in this world at the end of the age of gods?
The Age of Gods — The Age of Heaven — The Age of Immortals.

Did the God of Immortality traverse countless divine eras, skipping the Ragnarok, the point of destruction for himself, to arrive in the subsequent Immortal Era? And with the power of new life, establish a new Immortal Path to contend with the divine?

"and many more!"

At this moment, Daheitian suddenly thought of something and said, "Electricity and oil, perhaps they are also lower-level divine objects of the magic series? How come they are lower-level divine objects of the immortal series?"

Oil is a mineral from the earth, a variant of earth-based divine substances.

Electricity is a divine element similar to the five elements of light and darkness.

In theory, all of this falls under the jurisdiction of the Chaos Sun God.

Xu Changsheng smiled and shook his head, "It's normal for lower-level divine objects to have overlaps, isn't it?"

"There might even be overlaps; that's destiny, after all."

His eyes revealed a deep sense of vicissitude, and he said meaningfully:

"Our two divine artifact series are both vying for a single puzzle piece. If we are complete, the other is incomplete; if we are incomplete, the other is complete!"

"Think about it, this series governs light, darkness, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and is the core of the unified Heavenly Way, used to manage the environment of heaven and earth."

"And what about humans? The path of cultivation is inherently about seizing the creations of heaven and earth! Seizing a part of the divine treasures of heaven and earth."

"Therefore, the fact that our divine objects overlap determines the antagonistic relationship between humanity and heaven!"

As Xu Changsheng analyzed this, a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes.

There truly is a predetermined destiny in this world.

Humans and nature have created a conflict of interest.

I want to cultivate immortality and acquire divine artifacts, so I'll steal a corner of the heavens.

If you want to master the complete magic system, you have to steal a part of a human's body.

Therefore, the conflict of the next mythological era is quite obvious.

Previous myths about God, fate, and the sun god were essentially internal conflicts among the gods.

The current myths about the Way of Heaven are simply a struggle between humanity and Heaven!

Humans must seize the creations of heaven and earth and cultivate themselves!
Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, the Humanity series is exactly the opposite of the Heavenly Way series, with each being mutually reinforcing and restraining the other!
There must be some kind of opposing mechanism between the two sides, allowing people to overcome the overwhelming and defying Heavenly Dao.

The more Xu Changsheng thought about it, the more he felt that it was full of mystery and wonder, profound and incredible.

That's amazing.

The origin of the Age of Gods is brewing. (Heavenly Dao Series)

The end of the Age of Gods is approaching. (Humanity Series)

These two soon-to-appear divine beings stand at opposite ends of the divine age, locked in a fateful mythological showdown!
"The world is indeed amazing."

The two people standing next to him, Chong Shisan and Daheitian, also felt as if they had opened the door to a new world as Xu Changsheng analyzed the situation.

They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

The wheels of time, the staircases to the divine ages, are rolling uncontrollably toward us.

The gods died, the Heavenly Way rose, and immortals were born.

Who in this world can live forever? What immortals or gods can remain forever prosperous?
It was nothing more than the beginning and end of great epics and mythical empires, in which gods and heroes wrote their own hymns, which were then buried in the dust of time.

Just as everyone was filled with shock and amazement, Xu Changsheng added, "The number of lower-level divine objects of immortals is not three; in my opinion, it should be four!"

"It's not just about essence, energy, and spirit; it's also about deep affection that leads to a short life."

"Deep affection is short-lived, which gives immortals the ability to create miracles. Perhaps this is the core characteristic that defeats the heavens. Immortals can become even stronger through emotions such as anger, love, hatred, or sudden enlightenment!"

As Xu Changsheng continued his analysis, Liu Jun secretly listened from the shadows.

I understand this.

With love, man can conquer nature.

Shouting love and affection, love is boundless, it kept rushing upwards. The immortals swarmed up and killed the heavens.

Now, after Xu Changsheng's intense analysis, the situation has become clear.

The divine objects of the immortal path consist of four components: essence, energy, spirit, and emotion.

The magical artifact is composed of ten elements: light, darkness, the five elements, wind, thunder, and oil.

There is overlap between the two sides, and those who want to collect their complete series of divine artifacts will inevitably become enemies.

While surprised, Chong Shisan got down to business: "Now that we've determined the detailed strategy, let's begin establishing this sect!"

"Ah."

Xu Changsheng took out a set of teachings, "We can begin nurturing this immortal artifact."

Many religious doctrines need to be made concrete and detailed, the more detailed the better, otherwise they will be too vague and cannot serve as material for the creation of divine beings.

That's why he disappeared for so long—he went to prepare the details for various Taoist sects.

The immortal worshipped by this Taoist sect is none other than the Pure Yang Emperor!

After receiving the information from the Pure Yang True Immortal and studying it carefully, the group realized that it contained a great deal of information, and that establishing a sect could be so complex.

The next moment, Xu Changsheng put forward another plan: "We not only want to establish the divine artifact of the Immortal Sect, but also to nurture a second divine artifact at the same time."

"What? You've even prepared a second divine artifact?" Daheitian thought this guy was indeed very composed.

“Hmm.” Xu Changsheng took out the second piece of information. “The second divine object is a time-related divine object. And based on my continuous understanding over the years, Star Chaser is a lower-level time-related divine object.”

The speeding train has been in Xu Changsheng's hands all these years.

He discovered that it wasn't as simple as just accelerating his own speed.

Essentially, it accelerates the passage of time within oneself.

Furthermore, with his continuous development, he even accelerated the previously fictional spirit world. With lightning speed, he cleaved the heavens with a single sword strike, completely opening up the spirit world!

and so.

In Xu Changsheng's eyes, the two divine objects that were conceived this time were already very clear: they could only be: a mid-level time-based divine object and a mid-level immortal-path divine object.

Xu Changsheng added, "The discussions online are actually quite reasonable. We are at the end of the Age of Gods, which is a good place to nurture time-related divine objects."

"Furthermore, those intermittent 30,000-year-long divine eras may just be a rough embryonic timeline, similar to a rough concept of death or a parallel world."

"Once this is used to create a divine artifact of time, it may be able to perfect those fragmented worlds of the divine era, forging them into a complete sacred timeline!"

A look of emotion crossed everyone's eyes.

Once a new artifact of time is created, the world's laws of time may be completely completed as a result.
This is yet another truly astonishing piece of news.

Unexpectedly, Xu Changsheng's seclusion this time has allowed him to thoroughly analyze the details of various divine artifacts.

Furthermore, it corrected many mythological worldviews, giving them a clear direction to strive for and letting them know what they should do.

Xu Changsheng's strategic policy is very important.

Otherwise, like a headless fly, haphazardly trying to create divine objects, they would surely perish.

"Then let's get started," Xu Changsheng said. "Have you noticed? We only have five divine items here: essence, energy, spirit, and emotion. They've used them all with lightning speed!"

"Enough of this nonsense, we need to start establishing the sect quickly. I'm off now." Daheitian was burning with enthusiasm and quickly turned to leave.

After Daheitian left, Chong Shisan looked at Daheitian's back and said, "This guy is treacherous. As the leader of the Ten Great Companies, he is not of one mind with us. He will probably take the opportunity to fight for the new divine artifact."

"It can't be stopped."

Xu Changsheng said calmly, "We want to nurture a divine object, but we can't hide it. Sooner or later, he will find out, and even the whole world will know. Once the divine object is nurtured, we can each rely on our own abilities!"

Xu Changsheng was confident in himself and believed in fair competition.

He believed that the 100% compatibility with the divine artifacts meant it had to be him; he was the chosen host.

Because it was he who completely perfected the path of immortality.

Liu Jun glanced at the confident Xu Changsheng, then quietly turned and left.

As expected, Xu Changsheng, the protagonist who travels between the two realms and seeks immortality through the path of survival, is indeed very useful.

"However, two of the three divine objects have already been determined, so what is the third divine object?"

He thought for a while and came to a conclusion:
"They probably just randomly emerged from those lower-level sects."

He suddenly smirked, "Instead of letting those messy sects create divine artifacts, I'd rather guide them here and create a thief's divine artifact."

After all, if Xu Changsheng's words are true...

Then, when the Time God and Immortal God descend for the next Trial of the Gods, these two mid-level God objects will be unavailable for selection.

We must leave it to them to establish the path to immortality.

He could only choose the third, unknown divine object.

And these messy sects have given birth to a worthless, low-level divine object, so why don't they just bite the bullet and take it?

That would result in a huge loss.

It would be better to filter your own divine items and directly select the third unknown divine item that you must choose as the high-thief divine item.

"We originally planned to nurture it in the magical world next door, but plans can't keep up with changes."

Since Liu Jun had nothing better to do anyway, he quickly came up with an idea.
"It seems I can only transform into Rigna and follow his example to dig up all sorts of treasures in the immortal world."

This is the most reasonable course of action for Liu Jun at present.

Furthermore, the various treasures and equipment in the Immortal World include many unique local treasures, and acquiring them would likely greatly enhance one's resources.

As a result, a cult of thieves emerged in the following years.

No one thought there was a problem, because the God of Thieves was a very ordinary god.

Furthermore, the followers of this sect began to steal various things, leaving behind a notorious reputation on earth.

"Damn it, my elixir has been stolen!"

"My ancestral grave was dug up, and that guy even brought a big black dog with him! It was incredibly disgusting!"

"Hahaha, I placed a specially crafted red-haired zombie with the power of incantation in my ancestral tomb. The other party dug it up and was bitten to death on the spot. It's specifically designed to kill you tomb raiders!"

As the times brought various storms, another ten years passed.

This decade has been called the golden age of sectarianism, with various sects rising rapidly and dominating an era.

That's when.

Liu Jun's progress bar has also reached 100%.

We are now ready to begin the next trial of the gods.

Crash.

In the sky, the long-absent Creator God parted the clouds and descended from the heavens, looking down upon the entire planet on Earth.
