Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 401 God's Commission, Amok's Burden

So this is divine power?
A cold sweat broke out on Amok's back, and his mind raced.

'Extremely efficient energy utilization.'

A completely new and unknowable cultivation system.

'Contrary to common sense, illogical, incomprehensible, and unperceptible idealism.'

"In this age of interstellar space, with cosmic warriors so incredibly sophisticated, how could they suddenly possess such idealistic powers?"

'This is God!??'

Countless thoughts surged within Amoka's mind.

Don't underestimate him; he has seven shackles.

In this first desert universe, the strongest being has ten shackled regions, and he is already a regional overlord.

As a notorious desert bandit in this region, he led his troops in various super-powerful vehicles, hunting and roaming everywhere.

But the terror of this power was still beyond his imagination, even with his limited perspective.

'Wait, I've also broken through the various shackles that bind me.'

"Furthermore, these divine powers come with powerful shackles of exotic characteristics: matter-energy conversion, energy-matter conversion—this is the power of creation."

"Even... there's the most mysterious time lock."

Amok's eyes were filled with horror.

In their time, the Shackled Realm was passed down through generations.

If your family has a lineage that cultivates this shackle, then others can comprehend the attribute shackles of their elders and walk this path.

Without inheritance
Then you can only follow the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth), becoming the worst kind of five-element mage.

Before their eyes, the other party easily bestowed upon them various divine powers imbued with the understanding of this shackle attribute.
It is said that only the ultimate inheritance possessed by a few of the most advanced and mysterious civilizations can cultivate such shackles.
And the other party didn't seem to care at all.

This made a terrifying thought pop into his head:

"They possess the power of time; could it be that among the gods there is a god of time?!"

"Could it be that the God of Time can travel between the past and the future?"

"How are we supposed to deal with this? This is completely illogical!"

Time, just thinking about it makes those gods seem terrifyingly powerful.

His thoughts raced, and Amoka immediately knelt down and kowtowed violently.

"Greetings, God! Thank you, Almighty and All-Knowing Lord!"

"Thank you for giving me a new life!"

Amoka kowtowed desperately.

He believed that no one else would have the chance to kowtow like him.

If he doesn't take a few more now, he'd be doing a disservice to these two gods who descended to earth.

“God, your small gift has already amazed us.”

He replied respectfully, "I understand!"

"Our self-proclaimed super civilization, which has reached the pinnacle of the universe, is nothing more than a primitive tribal barbaric era to the supreme and majestic gods."

"The mortals on earth, no matter how hard they try, even if they reach the seventh or eighth rank, are still just mortals who eat raw meat and drink blood."

"But now is just the beginning. The gods in the heavens saw the suffering of mortals on earth and descended in person, bestowing all kinds of great powers, thus beginning the myths and legends."

The other party is very eloquent.

Looking at this group of respectful mortals, Fortuna sighed softly in her heart:
"The people here are still the most honest and simple."

They are not like the mortal heroes of the Age of Gods who would kill gods at the drop of a hat.

They feel fear and awe because of the unknown.

As soon as they displayed even a little bit of divine power, they showed an extremely respectful and sincere fanatical attitude, which made Fortuna feel a long-lost sense of comfort.

"Believers on earth, the divine power within you is not highly compatible."

God then suddenly spoke, extending a finger and gently touching something.
"This is the power of the God of Evolution. You can modify the divine power compatibility of your racial structures!"

As the divine power descended, everyone felt an incredible new power within their bodies.

evolution!

They were even able to modify various details of their own race.

Even our race can evolve on its own?

How many different deities with different divine powers are there among the gods?

The next group of believers began to cultivate respectfully on this planet, sensing various divine powers.

Then, God turned and disappeared.

Fortuna then began to teach this group of believers:
"Those who are now undergoing the twelve trials of this universe are the enemies of us gods."

"He's operating in the shadows, and he's in charge of driving this trial forward."

"Don't let them find out, and don't even think about joining them. For someone of his caliber, they don't need subordinates like you."

Fortuna has extensive management experience.

Three days later, the natives here established a civilization on that super-large planet and began to settle there.

Green mountains, clear waters, and rivers—scenery they had never seen before in this barren universe.

Seeing this, Liu Jun slowly withdrew his gaze.

This is a small test.

Let's examine the adaptability and cultivation abilities of the local indigenous people.

"We used the power of evolution, and even preached here. Perhaps Magalas can sense that we are here?"

Fortuna, who was standing nearby, suddenly realized this.

Now Magalas is in charge of the twelve trials of dimensional ascension in this universe.

He covered the universe with a magic net.

Everything is under his surveillance.

With his ability to spread information, he could probably pinpoint the location of the two of them incognito during their visit in an instant.

God chuckled softly.
“No, Magalas’s propagation network can sense most areas of this First Trial Universe, but it can’t sense us.”

"Is it because you also possess divine power? Can you fight against his magic network?" Fortuna asked.

"You can think that way."

The divine power of spreading in Liu Jun's hands is not simply a replica of God's spreading demon.

Because he possesses the ability to propagate to the end.

Magalas only stole three copies of the Goddess of Fertility's power. You see, why did Lilith, the Goddess of Fertility, appear so weak before?

Is he some kind of god of network management?
It's because she's incomplete.

She was missing the ultimate divine artifact.

Liu Jun merely gave her a fake divine object that granted him a new life.

Therefore, it did not exhibit any particularly strong characteristics.

Liu Jun sighed inwardly.

"Fortunately, I obtained the final communication early on. Although it is not of great use to me, its greatest use is to hold other people by the throat."

In Liu Jun's eyes, the Communication series is more important than the Destiny series.

Then some time passed.

Liu Jun took a walk around the nearby desert landscape.

"This universe is really too barren."

He found the place to be indeed desolate.

There are no planets here, because they have all turned into endless grains of sand.

It was so vast that it seemed to have no end.

In a vast desert universe, as large as countless galaxies, the more you explore, the more insignificant you feel.

In such a vast region, even the strongest locals can only travel far by using spatial jumps.

"I don't know where the eighth-ranked one went, so how am I supposed to find him? His ability to spread information can't detect those people in detail; it's just that his ability spreads information."

Liu Jun felt like a headless fly.

He thought about it and ultimately could only resort to the last resort:

A divine artifact of the Heavenly Dao!

This new divine object, capable of sensing information from the entire world around him, suddenly became his only way to break the deadlock.

boom!
The moment this divine object was activated, Liu Jun felt his brain tremble violently.

It transcends time, space, and distance.

He could feel his body spreading outwards along the magic net, and he could hear the howling of countless storms and sandstorms.

He began to sense the state of the entire universe, as if his body was expanding infinitely, and all things were becoming part of his body.
The fine, dense magic net seemed to transform into billions of capillaries within his body.

When Liu Jun opened his eyes again.

He found himself in a high-dimensional, God-like perspective.

It's like a 3D map sandbox in a game, where you can zoom in, zoom out, and switch between modes at will.
He has the illusion that he can sense everything.

This shocked him immensely. "This power, it seems harmless, only perceptible, but it's truly terrifying."

Many battles are fought based on an information gap.

In a competitive tower defense game, if someone has a full-map cheat, they can peek at your item build, route, and position at any time.
Observe you from a bird's-eye view!

It's like a three-dimensional person looking at a two-dimensional paper figure in a book, experiencing a sense of superiority that's hard to describe.

"It seems this divine power will be of great use in the Twelve Trials!"

Yes, it's not very useful in Liu Jun's mushroom soup.

Because there are no enemies in the mushroom soup that should make us wary, but there may be an eighth-level enemy here.

I can observe the powerful beings in this universe and take a closer look at their underwear.

Thinking of this, Liu Jun closed his eyes slightly.

He suddenly discovered that three powerful super life forms with high energy levels were lurking throughout the entire sand-layered universe.

They were like three suns mixed in with a swarm of fireflies, standing out conspicuously in Liu Jun's eyes.

In that instant, Liu Jun clearly guessed:
"He is probably what is known as an eighth-tier expert."

He originally thought it would only exist in a higher dimension, but it was clear that the depth of its foundation here was even more exaggerated than he had imagined.

But this is normal.

According to the description, everyone is stuck at different levels of the trial.

Even if the world of the first trial does not have this technology, then it is possible that a higher-dimensional universe will "accidentally" release the technology for eighth-order breakthroughs over time.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the strong here can break through.

Sensing the other party's energy level, Liu Jun revealed a hint of amazement: "Huh, it's actually three times mine, it's terrifying to this extent."

Keep in mind that he is a Hercules wearing thousands of top-tier pieces of equipment and has perfectly modified his racial stats.

The opponent is merely a crippled mortal, yet he reigns supreme here; he's probably just the weakest of the eighth-tier cultivators.
It already has this level of strength.

Liu Jun hesitated for a moment, then decided not to go there himself.

I desperately want the method to break through to the eighth rank!

But a wise person does not stand under a crumbling wall.

He wouldn't fight a mortal whose strength is three times greater than his own, even if he doesn't know their background.

not to mention.

He also had to be careful of Magalas, who might take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack; that guy was probably also secretly researching this world.

But he had to test the waters against an eighth-tier expert.

So he summoned Amoka, the leader of the sand bandits who was on the planet.

"I want you to go and fight the strongest being in this sandy universe."

Amoka was taken aback, then quickly laughed and said, "In our world, the strongest people all have ten shackles. I'm quite confident I can defeat them now!"

"That's good." God sat sideways on his throne with an air of dominance, looking down at the kneeling mortals below. "I need you to do something."

"what's up?"

"I'm going to obtain all the resources held by the strongest in this first trial. I want to see what the level of mortals in this era is like."

Amoka quickly replied, "Your Majesty is wise! Although they haven't broken through to the Starry Sky Realm, they probably have obtained the method to break through to that realm."

"Of course they do, because they are themselves powerful beings in this star realm."

what?
Amok's smile quickly froze on his face.

Even in our weakest sandy universe, the legendary Starry Sky Realm has appeared.

They were hiding so well?

Wait, God, are you telling me to go to the seventh level and fight the eighth level?
We are just human beings, they are the stars.
