Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 413 The Unexpected Intrusion of the Suction Cup Monster
A hint of worry flashed in Munisos's eyes. "You're going up there, into the second cosmic layer of the trial?"

But he suddenly sensed something was off.

The head inside the glass bottle banged against the transparent glass a few times.

"Then why did you build this universe?"

He peeked around cautiously.
"Once the universe continues to evolve and the environment continues to change, everything you've built now will be useless."

God put a lump of mud on the sand tray, looked up, and said:
"It's very simple. I plan to build this place, so I naturally intend to stay here for a while."

"As for the higher cosmic levels? We can get there without ascending to a higher dimension."

Yes, he plans to use this world of the First Trial as his base.

That's why we're making some changes to the temporary living conditions here.

Munesus looked bewildered. "That's still a conceptual, void world. It won't materialize unless it's elevated to a higher dimension. The people there still live in nothingness."

"Can't we go to the void?" At this moment, the goddess of fate, Fortuna, opened the door and came in to report.

He casually remarked, "The twelve trial worlds in concept are probably just similar to parallel worlds."

“We can use the power of the Parallel God to get there, although you may not know what the Parallel God is.”

It seems to be confirming Fortuna's deduction.

A majestic eagle suddenly landed on Fortuna's shoulder; it was an eagle from an era that devoured parallel worlds.

“This eagle is…” Munesos sensed various special divine powers mixed within it.

"Fairy."

Fortuna smiled. "Give him a taste of his own."

Tweet!

It is clearly an eagle, but it makes the sound of a baby bird.

Then it suddenly stretched out a claw, tearing through space and revealing another mysterious and hazy world.

wow-

From within the Gate of the World, endless white mist drifted out.

It seems to contain an incredible variety of flora and fauna.

“That is…” Munisos felt that he had never been more surprised in his entire life than he had today.

Before Fortuna could continue her smug boasting, a streak of light suddenly pierced through the clouds in the sky above the opposite world.

Countless clouds and mists dispersed.

A tall and mighty creature appeared before them.

His skin looked like it was covered with starfish suction cup patterns, densely packed together.

"what?"

The suction cup-like life form exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this the environment of the first trial universe I passed through before?"

The bio-probe probed at me, looking all in the dark.

"Hello? Is anyone on the other end?"

"Is this some kind of natural phenomenon? Like a black hole or wormhole, unintentionally opening up another world?"

He kept shouting, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"

After asking a few questions and seeing no response from the other side of the door, he couldn't resist boldly sticking his head out and leaning over to this side.

Then he saw the group of people at God's Laboratory.

"A weak seventh-tier?"

He looked at God.

"Hey, this head... isn't that the head of Munisos who entertained me when I passed by before? How did you get your head cut off and imprisoned in a glass bottle?"

The gaze of that voice finally settled on someone.

"Aaaaaah!" Fortuna suddenly let out a sharp, piercing scream. "Shut it off! Shut it off! What is that thing?"

The Boundary Dark Eagle immediately obeyed its command and quickly prepared to release the bird back to close the gap.

But it's too late.

"This bird is amazing, want to leave?"

The life form of the suction cup revealed a hint of surprise.

His movements were incredibly fast; he reached out and scooped the eagle into his palm.

"And you!"

He gripped the eagle, his gaze suddenly falling on the other side.
"I can actually go back! It's all true! Looks like I'm lucky! Hahaha, I can return to the world of the First Trial!"

Say it.

He was about to step over.

The man's aura was terrifying, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

Even Fortuna, who possessed the second level of the eighth-order divine status, was overwhelmed by that astonishing aura, leaving her mind blank.

But the next moment, God pointed out a trace of chaos.

Ah!
The other person's hand was instantly enveloped in chaos, as if it had been burned by a furnace, and they suddenly tried to pull it back.

"Ouch, ouch! What is this? You lowly seventh-tier trash, what have you done? I'm going to kill you!!"

The extremely irritable voice came again.

"Want to go?"

With a thought from God, this chaotic entity, following the other's aura, flew into the conceptual dimension of the second trial.

Ah! ! !

The Chaos Fire pressed its advantage, quickly igniting the outstretched arm of its opponent.

"Burn, burn! What is this?" The suction cup creature on the other side let out a tragic and eerie scream.

As the parallel gate closed, the opponent's screams abruptly ceased.

Only a still-shaken Fortuna patted her chest, "That scared me to death! How did that thing suddenly appear on the other side?"

Fortuna was terrified, but then she realized that the scene was completely silent.

She turned her head and found God staring straight at her.

She gave an awkward smile and quickly lowered her head.
"Sorry, I acted too quickly and caused a huge disaster. Who knew that the parallel gates of this universe couldn't be opened casually?"

God's gaze was deep and mysterious: "The parallel gates of our world of gods cannot be opened casually either."

Fortuna was a little embarrassed.
"My original intention was to demonstrate that as the goddess of fate, I can control the fate of parallel worlds and open the gate to the second trial universe."

Her impulsive, fateful nature sometimes leads her to do some really strange and big things.

can only say.

The side effects of fate are too great.

"Is fate a reckless devil?" Munisos mused. "No normal person would suddenly do such a thing."

It turns out that even gods have specific personalities.

That does fit people's stereotypes about God.

"It seems I should revoke some of the permissions that are prone to causing foolishness from you," God said calmly.

"I understand."

Fortuna was still shaken. "I was almost killed. That guy looked so fierce and strong! I'm at the second level of the eighth rank, and I felt like he was at the tenth level of the eighth rank?"

"That's not necessarily true."

God explained calmly, "Your Goddess of Fate only possesses a high level of understanding, but lacks combat power. Being stronger than you is not of any value as a reference."

Liu Jun originally planned to build something here.

Set up an outpost before venturing into the rest of the cosmic adventure map. But fate always has its surprises!

She also opened a door for the time being.
Fortunately, it was stopped in time, preventing a major disaster.

At this moment, Liu Jun felt once again that it was fortunate he hadn't chosen "fate" back then.

Because the god of fate often has sudden lapses in judgment and creates unexpected events.

Fortuna said apologetically, "It seems that the Parallel Dark Eagle was captured by the other side and left behind in the Second Universe."

"It doesn't matter."

God remained unusually calm, saying, "Anyway, we can recreate fairies."

"If it's lost over there, it's lost. Who knows, when we find it next time, there might be a surprise: this eagle's belly is full of a warehouse of civilized goods, waiting for us to dig them out."

"We also received some intelligence that it seems to be a water world, and that strange sucker-like life form was also severely injured by the Chaos Fire."

A profound light flashed across Liu Jun's face.

The eagle and chaos. Both of these things were left behind in that second concept world.

Is this also a coincidence of fate?
Or is it destiny in some sense?

The eagle wasn't a big deal; it was just an eagle that had brought a pawn shop with it.

But chaos, left behind there, is truly terrifying!

It is likely that a chaotic catastrophe will erupt, and that side will also fall into apocalypse.

After all, chaos can also exist in the conceptual world.

Chaos, by its very nature, represents the end of all things.

It can kill all kinds of concepts.

Even death itself can be killed by chaos.
It's quite normal for a parallel world to be invaded.

"Never mind, let's leave it at that for now."

God thought for a moment and asked Munesus, "That strange being knows you. Do you know who he is?"

Munisos fell into thought, “Let me think, in my previous life I have never seen such an impressive and special life form.”

“But since he ascended from my level, we must have had contact.”

"In other words, he didn't look like this before. He might have gone to that second universe and been transformed into this form, or perhaps it was because of the rules of the universe that the creatures there gradually became mutated."

God gave Munisus an approving look.

His logical thinking is quite good.

During the Twelve Trials, Liu Jun encountered a special environment in a certain universe.

Even God himself grew sharp teeth and scales in that cosmic environment.
Obviously.

This universe is like that too.

Life forms that go there will adapt to the environment of that universe.

The local environment shapes its people, so it's not surprising that some of them might grow up to resemble aquatic animals.

"I remember now, that tone."

Munesus suddenly exclaimed, "It's a woman named Maina, a mere servant who followed their king. How did she become like this?"

Fortuna's expression froze.

Was that a female creature?
It looks a little strange.

Munesus quickly revealed what he knew, but it wasn't anything particularly special.

That woman and a group of people ascended to a higher dimension, but they were very weak.

At that time, this group of young civilizations that had ascended to a higher dimension were all captured and imprisoned by their empire.

To be honest, if God and Fortuna hadn't been so strong, they would have been arrested and imprisoned right from the start.

At that time, the ascending civilization was hijacked by the young people of their three great empires and forcibly boarded their civilization train to ascend to a higher dimension.

“Our civilized pride went up with them at that time.”

"I don't know what happened, but that woman has become a powerful figure. I'm afraid that all of us who went in that batch have met with misfortune?"

Munisus sighed softly, "I never imagined that the little maid who used to cower in fear of me would exude such a powerful aura."

He was a little envious.

God glanced at him and said, "The environment of the universe is constantly improving as dimensions are ascended."

"In theory, the later the trial universe, the better the environment and the higher the upper limit, and the easier it is to break through in that environment."

Munesus was certainly aware of this, but he simply didn't want to get involved in the infighting.

If there's hope, that's fine.

But there is probably no hope.

He also lacked the ability to reach the twelfth ultimate trial.
Therefore, sooner or later, they will all lose in some trial.

Why would he embark on the journey to the stars for something that was destined to fail?
"Well, it was just a small accident."

God turned and looked at Fortuna, and said:
"Go out and keep busy building your world. Focus your energy on important things and don't do anything stupid on a whim."

"it is good."

Fortuna felt embarrassed that she had come back to give a creation report and then suddenly caused this unexpected incident.

Tapping.

Fortuna left quickly and went to the front lines to carry out environmental modifications.

God glanced at Munisus and said meaningfully:
"Do you have any ideas? If you'd like, you can accept my previous suggestion and become the test subject to test the process of strengthening the divine essence, from the first level of the eighth rank to the tenth level of the eighth rank."

After some hesitation and silence, Munesus still chose to accept this [Enhancement Realm] experiment.

That shock just now must have been too much for him!

He suddenly wanted to become stronger too.
The person in front of him was giving him a bunch of enhancement scrolls for free, turning him into a whale who could spend money like water and start enhancing his equipment. How could he refuse?
He muttered to himself:
"As expected, even lab rats are not something that ordinary people can do."

"Even a lab rat needs to have enough ability to sense the eighth level, discover the details of various realms, and provide data reports."

So, you chose me?

A sense of frustration flashed through Munisos's mind.

Only the most powerful being in this universe like me is qualified to be his guinea pig and help him perfect the data of the eighth order?
Munesus said, "Watch me spend all your money! These enhancement scrolls for upgrading godhood aren't cheap, are they?"

He paused, then continued, "The higher you go, the lower the success rate of enhancement. By the time you reach +10, I don't know how many divine core embryos you'll have to break, or how many enhancement scrolls you'll have to waste! It'll probably be an astronomical figure!"

God didn't even look at him, quietly sitting at the table fiddling with the chess pieces on the board, saying, "It's all your empire's money."

Munesos fell silent.

With only his head remaining, he quickly began to vent his anger on the enhancement scrolls.

+1
A ray of light flashed up.

+2
A light shone again.

+3
The light suddenly dimmed, and the divine spark failed to be strengthened and shattered.

Fortunately, the enhancement protection scroll worked, forcibly reversing time and returning to the +2 divine status it had before the enhancement.

Seeing this, Munesos couldn't help but want to complain: "Is this still cultivation? This is gambling!"

"If I set up a live stream and live streamed myself upgrading equipment, it would definitely be very entertaining."

Since he's already here, he might as well make the best of it.

In an instant, he went from a hermit who spent 99% of his life cultivating himself to a new hermit who spent 99% of his life strengthening himself.

His ascetic life took a turn for the better at this point.

His arduous training involved spending real money on enhancement scrolls!
