Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 415 Dimensional War Conference
The world of gods.

All the gods are gathered here.

Before launching a new war, they must first gather various information and data about their own civilization.

If you don't even know your own level...
How do we attack the enemy?
Atop the divine throne, enveloped in endless sacred light, sat a majestic figure.

The gods below are reporting on recent events.

"Tell me about it."

On the throne, God spoke calmly, "How many experts of the fifth level or above at the eighth rank do we have to command?"

The gods looked at each other in bewilderment, for even they themselves were unsure of the situation.

Finally, Immortal Venerable Xu Changsheng stepped forward and said, "I don't know about other sects, but under our God of Time, we previously had seventeen experts of this caliber!"

"But now, this data is not accurate. Even I, as a god, do not know how many people are in the entire sect under my command."

Upon hearing this, God sighed softly, paused for a moment, and then called upon Lilith, the retired goddess of fertility: "You shall speak."

Although Lilith no longer spread the message, she already had a 100% talent affinity in this area and was still monitoring matters related to the spread of the magic network.

Lilith stepped forward and said solemnly, "The entire universe has now been completely ruled by us."

"But it was not under our control at all."

As Lilith reported the situation, she said to the gods beside her, "We are completely in the dark about the world."

"We don't even know how many Papal States under our respective pantheons are."

"We can only settle in the local star cluster, just like the capital of a last dynasty, where the power of the emperor only extends to the surrounding cities."

Everyone's expressions froze when they heard this.

Yes.

This is a very big problem.

They were like a small town, only able to see the surrounding villages and the villages further away, without even knowing their names.

Because the universe is so vast, every minute and every second, civilizations are engaged in internal strife, rising to prominence, and perishing.

Liu Jun's expression also became slightly serious.

He now holds a strange state of dominance over this universe.

It's as if he planted countless mushrooms throughout the universe, turning it into a colorful, magical mushroom forest.
However, he himself was unable to personally rule this vast and expansive forest of civilizations.

"Can't the coverage of signal propagation help us solve the problem of ruling various regions?" Cain shouted from the side.

Baal, the god of chaos, shook his head. "The universe is too vast; network signals are subject to delays."

"Let's put it this way: in the internet age, the internet on one planet has turned countless countries into a global village, allowing people to know what's happening in the world without leaving home."

"The internet transmits signals via light, meaning that the speed of internet signals does not exceed the speed of light."

"If you're only on one planet, a network at the speed of light can indeed give you all sorts of real-time information instantly."

"But the universe is measured in light-years!"

Barr calmly began to analyze:

"Although, with my blessing as the God of Light, the magic network has surpassed the speed of light, reaching an astonishing speed of over 380 light-years per second!"

"At this astonishing speed, the Magic Network can leave the solar system in just 0.001 seconds, travel through the vast Milky Way galaxy in a little over a minute, but it would still take hundreds of years to travel through the entire universe."

God pondered.

How many hundreds of years would it take for a message to travel from a remote area at the edge of the universe through the magic network?
The universe is so incredibly vast!
And this is still information transmission on the Magic Network.

If I go there in person, it will probably be slower and more troublesome.

From this perspective, even venturing out of our local galaxy cluster is extremely difficult.

God smiled and said, “Gentlemen, do you have a feeling that our civilization has regressed to the most primitive tribal city-state era?”

“In primitive feudal kingdoms, transportation was inconvenient, with only backward horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts. An emperor might not leave the capital more than a few times in his entire life.”

"The few emperors in history who loved to make southern tours and travel incognito are already worthy of being written about in great detail."

"Even a message, once it leaves the capital, would take months of non-stop travel by post stations to reach the local government."

God's expression hardened slightly. "And now, we are the emperor and his ministers, and our rule exists only in name."

Everyone was silent.

Fortuna, ever the absent-minded one, laughed and said, "Yes, it's quite interesting. We've returned to the primitive city-state era; isn't that a cycle?"

The retired Goddess of Plenty joked, "The world is indeed a cycle of civilizations. So, we're in the primitive era of horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts now. Shouldn't we continue our research?"

"We need to work harder to enter the era of information-based transportation."

Baal, standing next to him, shook his head.

He has mastered light and darkness, the five elements, wind, and transformation. It is precisely because he knows so much that he knows how to perfect himself to the level they speak of.
It's not easy at all.

God smiled and said, "Civilization always needs to move forward. Since we have returned to the primitive state, we only need to climb upwards again."

"Gentlemen, what solutions do you have?"

"Communication is extremely important, otherwise I wouldn't have discussed this crucial issue with you before preparing to invade the Second Trial Universe."

"In a war, in an army's expedition, if even information cannot be transmitted, then our civilized war is destined to be unsuccessful." This is a very simple truth.

The army has set out. Does it really need to take months, like in ancient times, to get in touch with the front lines through the post stations?
What should we fight?
Military warfare is essentially a battle of marching and deploying troops.

The essence of military campaigns and deployment is the process of obtaining information and then making judgments.

Without information to make judgments, even the most outstanding general will be completely blind and give orders haphazardly.

As for what some people might say...

Why would a world where individual combat power is at its peak need to wage a large-scale civilization war?

One person can easily sweep through and finish the job.

Sorry.

This method only applies to the current First Desert Universe.

Since there are only a few eighth-tier beings in this desert universe, as long as we capture the leaders first, we can eliminate them and be done with it.

And what about the other side?
Fortuna accidentally opened a door.

The appearance of an eighth-tier individual in both instances indicates that the Second Trial era has ushered in an environment with an extremely large number of eighth-tier individuals.

Both are at the eighth rank. At the same level of combat power, it's natural to compare who has more.

Furthermore.

Even if God were truly powerful, capable of defeating all eighth-tier beings, He wouldn't personally risk his life to explore uncertain, unknown civilization maps.

Our boss is unlikely to act rashly; dispatching the armies of the various civilizations under the god's command is the right approach.

"Does an army's departure necessarily require information dissemination and troop deployment?"

Fortuna muttered to herself, "It's not just us; other civilizations are the same. They all have a 'laid-back' fighting style, just sending people out for a chaotic free-for-all."

Fortuna was indeed describing the norm of civilizational warfare in this universe.

Take the previous desert universe as an example.

The three desert empires under Munesus's rule were also incompetent, with extremely poor governance and unable to leave their own star clusters. Like ancient emperors, it would take thousands or tens of thousands of years to issue a decree.

Fortuna, that idiot, bluntly said, "Everyone's so bad, and I'm bad too, so we have an advantage in a fight anyway."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Baal's expression immediately turned serious. "We seem capable of producing eighth-tier creatures on a large scale, but are we really producing more than them?"

"Not necessarily. They have accumulated over countless years, and there may be level 8 warriors everywhere. We are outnumbered, so we must win in other areas. If our army can be perfectly commanded, it will undoubtedly be a huge advantage."

They had a chaotic discussion.

God smiled. "Gentlemen, let's talk about how to increase our divine dominion over the universe. Does anyone have any ideas?"

Xu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward. "In fact, Magalas had already provided a solution in his highly advanced civilization of the 165th Age of Gods."

Liu Jun seemed to be deep in thought.

Yes, the problems we are facing are the same problems that Magalas encountered on his path of exploring civilization.

How did he solve it?
He is gradually improving various transportation systems in the universe.

The Land of Time Terraces, the Land of Time Rivers, the Land of Time Waterfalls
Essentially, they are all about creating highways connecting different time zones. Once you get on the highway, you can quickly reach the other side.

This would allow the universe to be connected quickly.

God said calmly, "This method is not advisable. Taking a ride on the other party's time highway will make you faster, but it will also require burning your own lifespan to travel that fast."

This method has too many side effects. Burning one's lifespan to travel is no different from spending time traveling in the first place.
"What about space?"

The space god Daheitian shouted from the side, "Currently, spatial movement is not fast. If we can obtain the ultimate space artifact, perhaps we can solve the transportation problem."

“Hmm,” God pondered for a moment, “but that’s a question for the future.”

They couldn't reach a conclusion.

Ultimately, only a temporary compromise could be chosen.

They built time stations and wartime time highways to supply signal messengers and transmit orders from various military regions.

They also planned out the organization and commands of the army.
Finally, after everything was confirmed to be correct, the gods issued a command to the entire universe.

slam-la-

Almost instantly, the magic spread in all directions through the magic network, illuminating temples in various places, just like thousands of lights lighting up in the dark night.

The idol emitted divine light, and a divine decree was issued:
"We, the gods, will wage war against the entire civilization."

"Based on battle merits, you can exchange for various divine grace scrolls to strengthen your divine status and exchange for various top-tier divine artifacts."

In no time, a heated discussion quickly spread.

Countless people are eager to start accumulating merits!
This is not a hopeless universe. With hope for progress, under the command of the gods, the entire civilization bursts forth with a vibrant spirit.

"rush!"

In an instant, eagles from all directions tore through space, opening the portals and rushing into the other world.

An unprecedented, massive dimensional war has thus begun.
