Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 365 The Transition Between Old and New Myths

In the past, fate, like a musical score, propelled the age of gods.

In the future, time will be used to propel the era of immortality.

The communication network over there is a business network over here.

"Similar but not, it seems like a destiny or fate. This world is truly amazing."

Xu Changsheng sat on the throne, feeling the clinking of gold coins falling into the jar, and smiled slightly.
"This money is my life. As long as there is enough money, I can make it my life's work."

This magical object can reverse life as long as you have money, and no one can kill it.

In Xu Changsheng's eyes.

My own Time Series artifact is no less potential than the artifacts in God's hands!
Because he is only a medium-sized divine object, yet he possesses such power.

of course.

The life-giving artifact in Ying Qing's hand next door points directly to the essential composition of life, and it is definitely not weak.

In Xu Changsheng's eyes, the two cornerstones of this immortal era are probably his own piggy bank and the other party's immortal artifact.

"Continue the deduction!"

At Xu Changsheng's command, the entire land turned into a place of worship for the Immortal Venerable, with every household enshrining his statue and offering incense.

The statues of the Pure Yang Immortals of Taoism radiate light, like a bright moon, and are worshipped by people everywhere.

"Long live the Great Emperor of the Supreme Blessings, Heavenly Secrets, Timeless Life, Primordial Pure Yang, and Immortal Longevity! Long live the Great Emperor of the Spirit Realm! Long live the Great Emperor!"

The gospel, overwhelming and reaching the ears of the heavens, came from the spirit realm above the nine heavens, from the land of Zhuyou in the Taixu Heaven.

The whole world is cursing him!

In an instant, the people of the entire land felt the blessing of shouting "Long live the Emperor!" and various enlightenments arose in their hearts, their minds becoming clear.

The cultivation speed of each ordinary person is as if it has been put on super fast forward!

The newborn baby grows up quickly, running around on the ground, practicing with a wooden sword, and eventually becoming an adult.
Looking down at the earth, Emperor Chunyang, Xu Changsheng, frowned slightly, dissatisfied with the situation:
"It's not enough. The attacks of the common people alone are not enough."

"How dare you! The trees, the earth, the mountains—none of them attacked me. It's not like only humans have pressed the fast-forward button on time!"

Thinking of this, Xu Changsheng sat cross-legged, his thoughts surging.

"it's time!"

He suddenly smashed open his piggy bank.

Save money for a thousand days, and use it now.

Bang!
The piggy bank shattered, and countless coins flew out.

Having gained the insight into the acceleration of time, Xu Changsheng began to comprehend the application, techniques, and ultimate skills of the piggy bank artifact, his thoughts seemingly colliding rapidly in his mind.

In an instant, his understanding of the profound nature of this divine object increased dozens of times.

"I see."

A look of understanding flashed in Xu Changsheng's eyes. He suddenly looked up at the sun overhead, sunlight streaming down his body.
"How dare you! The blazing sun shines on my face!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sun began to age rapidly due to its attack on Xu Changsheng.

He punished the sun!
He suddenly plummeted to earth, plucked a cloud from his hand, and the dew from the cloud dampened his sleeves. His majestic voice resounded like thunder.

"How dare you! These clouds are soiling my clothes!"

The clouds began to accelerate as they attacked this Immortal Emperor.

He punished the clouds too!

He stepped into the mortal world with lotus blossoms on his feet, treading on golden light. The mud stained his white boots, and he couldn't help but scold, "Mere mud, you have sullied my golden immortal body."

The soil also accelerated as it attacked him.

dark place.

Looking at this creator, Liu Jun began to accelerate the immortal sandbox world and couldn't help but complain: "This Xu Changsheng, this protagonist of the treacherous path, is really dirty. He bullies the clouds and the soil. Doesn't the sun have a voice?"

What's the difference between this and staged an accident?
Old Deng, did you just hit me? Give me some gold coins!
Give me money back!

The most outrageous thing is that they actually succeeded in extorting money!

You looked at me? You touched me? I suspect you're secretly attacking me, so you'll have to spend gold coins.

"So, the blond god next door is the god of staged accidents?"

"Are you taking advantage of someone who can't speak properly?"

Liu Jun wanted to instantly awaken those clouds and soil, to make them come alive, speak, and shout their grievances.

Their cries of injustice could probably make snow fall in June.

However, Liu Jun only thought about it in his heart and did not interfere with the other party's actions.

Just as the goddess of fate plays her symphony of destiny, transforming the entire mythological world, he too is transforming the world with his piggy bank.

He's busy with his serious work, promoting mythological civilization, and I won't cause him any trouble.

but.

This Pure Yang Immortal also encountered a thorny issue.

He looked up at the chaotic mass above his head. "Chaos, how dare you attack me?"

Time acceleration, chaos -1-1-1 lifespan.

Although these time-accelerating forces were quickly extinguished by Chaos, Chaos itself aged considerably.

Chaos represents the end and stillness of the universe, and its aging is manifested by its expansion.

This silenced Xu Changsheng, who was always ready to fight anyone and extort money from everyone he met. He decisively stopped, saying, "No, you didn't attack me."

He dared not touch Chaos again and exploit its gold coins.

that's it.

Everyone watched in silence as this Pure Yang Immortal "created the world," spending seven days cursing the entire world.

This is the ancient legend of "rebuking the creation of heaven" in later immortal myths.

The cultivation levels of all beings on Earth exploded.

But they were completely unaware that as time accelerated across the land, strands of white hair began to grow from the temples of the people.

the other side.

Those powerful figures in the shadows watched quietly as the Pure Yang True Immortal created the world.

"Damn it, he actually got the divine artifact. He's all in the bag and has become the god of this era. If he can solidify his position, it's probably comparable to the supreme god of the previous era!"

"I hate it! I hate it! It slipped through my fingers!"

"Originally, we were going to beat him to a pulp, but he managed to get close to the God of Merchants and change the side effects on his body!"

"It's all about timing and fate; destiny is on his side! If the god of merchants hadn't appeared, he would have surely died!"

Many powerful figures who were besieging Xu Changsheng discussed amongst themselves, their faces showing resentment.

However, given the facts before them, they should also consider which path to take.

"Gentlemen, we must not attack him!"

"Yes, as long as we don't attack him or call him 'Your Majesty,' what can he do to us? He can't drain our lifespan!"

"Yes, nowadays, the people are attacking him so fiercely that his lifespan has been reduced by nearly ten thousand times, leaving him with only a hundred years of life left."

Therefore, these powerful individuals decided to lie low in the shadows.

But they soon discovered a problem.

The entire world is being accelerated madly by the divine power of time!
They weren't accelerated, which means they will fall behind the times, much like in myths and legends.
A day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth!
Over the next few years, they watched as young people grew up rapidly, cultivated their skills, broke through barriers, and even gained combat power comparable to their own, leaving behind various mythical stories of the new era.

They were battered by the giant waves of time, wave after wave, almost suffocating them.

No one can stand seeing babies grow up so quickly and then being defeated by them.

Every ten years, those who opposed the Pure Yang True Immortal and were the remnants of his former forces who had besieged him would gather in a tavern.

"Everyone, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to join the era of accelerated time."

"traitor!"

"Everyone, I will not be here for the next ten years. I will be chanting 'Long live the Immortal Venerable'."

"You traitors! Aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan? You willingly let him absorb our lifespan?"

"Foolish! The laws of heaven and earth have changed drastically! We must adapt to the new era. Everyone's sense of time is faster now. If everyone shortens their lifespan, then no one will shorten their lifespan."

"When everyone suffers from the side effects, then there are no side effects! When everyone is in a state of enlightenment, that is actually a benefit given by the Immortal Venerable!"

As a result, more and more die-hards and remnants of the past began to shout "Long live the Immortal Venerable," succumbing to the times and joining the surging tide.

Ten years later.

Fewer and fewer people attended the gathering, and everyone gradually lost their desire to rebel.

Another ten years passed, and this time only seven people remained at the tavern gathering.

Another ten years have passed.

The number of people at this gathering actually increased because almost everyone joined in the "Long live" chant.

The former resistance organization has reunited here, but it's merely a place for exchanging intelligence and for old friends to gather.

Another ten years have passed.

One by one, the rebels departed, until the last strongman named Li Wan stood alone on the ground, watching the rapidly spinning world around him, and the traitors in the tavern:

"Am I the only one left who refused to submit and refused to shout 'Long live the Emperor' from the old era?"

"No, I will not give in!!"

He looked at his companions, who were incredibly stubborn and would rather die than praise the Immortal Venerable.

But as the days went by, looking at other lives on a different level, in a different dimension, the loneliness that lingered in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

The tenth decade has passed, and we are reuniting.

"Li Wan, you're going to fall behind the times from now on."

"Can't keep up with the times? So be it. Dying like this is fine too. I'm going on a trip now."

The eleventh decade.

"Li Wan, have you heard? Three years ago, the former Zhu You God Ying Qing held a grand meeting of the immortal realm with the Pure Yang True Immortal. All the venerable gods gathered, and the grandeur was unprecedented!"

No one knows what they discussed, but they successfully reached an agreement to popularize [magical artifacts] and [immortal power]. We'll soon have immortal bodies.

The times are changing rapidly, with new technologies and news emerging every year.

"Huh? You didn't hear me? Sorry, I forgot about your time flow. Your cultivation level is slowing down, and your divine sense can't keep up with us. I need to speak to you slowly."

Li Wan, his neck stiff and face flushed, looked as if he had been greatly insulted: "I'm not slow to react, I just... I just..."

He spoke in a slow, elderly tone, which was somewhat amusing, but his forced composure couldn't hide a hint of loneliness.

Ten years later, we reunited.

As soon as Li Wan entered the shop, everyone drinking looked at him and laughed. Some shouted, "Li Wan, you have a new scar on your face! Were you too slow and a child accidentally bumped into you?"

"Many people have magical treasures now. Even a newborn child is at the sixth level, with innate immortal power, much stronger than you. Did the child beat you up?"

Li Wan did not answer, but said to the counter, "Warm two bowls of wine and a dish of immortal beans."

Another ten years have passed.

To everyone's surprise, Li Wan was not present at this gathering.

People are still discussing:
"Now, our Emperor has become even stronger."

"Yes, it's not that attacking him once reduces his lifespan by 1 year, but attacking him once reduces his lifespan by 10 years, which means we are now 10 times faster."

"This is our great and supreme immortal!"

"Where is Li Wan?"

"Haha, he's probably too embarrassed to come."

In the following fifteenth decade, Li Wan still did not appear.

Everyone started to get nervous and tried to find out what was going on with him, but eventually they got a vague and ambiguous conclusion.

"I heard that he was passing through a small town in the Zhuyou Kingdom when he was accidentally hit and killed by two children playing with candied hawthorns."

Why didn't he avoid it?

"He didn't avoid it. In everyone's eyes, he was like a slow-moving statue. The two children thought they had bumped into a still statue in the roadside square until they were covered in blood and realized they had bumped into a person."

"He was smashed? Was he just a piece of paper? He was smashed by a few kids? Well, he doesn't cultivate the immortal power of the new era, he only cultivates the essence, qi and spirit of the three lower-level divine objects, he's too fragile."

"How pitiful! These once-powerful top geniuses with incredibly strong defenses are now as weak as a piece of paper." Someone sighed, the dramatic changes of the times were particularly evident in them.

"Yes, I heard those children cried terribly. They were covered in blood, and it will probably be a childhood trauma for a long time."

The news was confirmed, causing the people gathered in the tavern to sigh with relief and lament.

Only then did everyone confirm the news—Li Wan was indeed dead.

He died in a way that was almost comical, bordering on a joke.

The death of the last stubborn strongman of the old era who refused to integrate into the new world also signifies the beginning of a new chapter in the new era.

The pawnshop headquarters.

Liu Jun was tidying up the shelves when he looked at a treasure that had recently arrived in the store and fell silent.

【Name: Li Wan's Stubborn Wristband】

[Introduction: Li Wan, the last remaining immortal of the old era, still guards his last pride amidst endless solitude.]

【Trait: Old Compatibility +100】

Liu Jun raised an eyebrow. "What a talent. There are all kinds of birds in a big forest."

However, this thing is indeed a very precious treasure.

In Liu Jun's eyes, this thing was comparable to some of the most precious magical artifacts available today.

none of them.

why?
Because it is a special divine object from the "ancient times" that has not yet appeared, the compatibility is 100%.

Unfortunately, this guy was born at the wrong time.

If a divine object with the corresponding characteristics appears, this stubborn donkey may be the host of a chosen divine object, a new god!
Of course.

This "stubborn donkey-like marvel" may never appear in its lifetime.

However, this did not prevent Liu Jun from treasuring this divine object, storing it in his most luxurious private treasure room.
"A great start! This is the first treasure with a 100% compatibility with divine artifacts."

"I hope that I can continue to collect them in the vast sea of ​​people in the future."

He placed the wristband in the display case on the shelf.

“Li Wan, I acknowledge your last act of stubbornness as a conservative. Perhaps in some era a divine object will appear that suits you, and in the future someone will use your talent to create a god of a new era.”
