Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 419 The Struggle Between Eastern and Western Gods to Pull People Together

If we compare the current situation to a sandbox civilization strategy farming game.

Now, I have led my civilization to this new, advanced adventure map.

This map is teeming with wild monsters that can drop high-level equipment and civilization skill books.
Liu Jun had two strategic ideas in mind:
One reason is to see what these jellyfish planets look like.

Another task is to find out where the chaos of yesteryear went.
And what about that eagle of mine? Is it still alive?

If chaos had developed normally over the past few decades, it might have grown to be almost half the size of the Milky Way galaxy.

However, according to Liu Jun's estimation, it is highly unlikely that this is a normal development.

So a supersun would definitely attract attention.

If you encounter some reckless people who throw in a lot of materials and resources, who knows how big the area will become?
and.

Based on the other party's description.

In this deep-sea universe, there are many giant marine creatures that are attracted to light.

If you saw such a huge, golden sun on the seabed, wouldn't those marine creatures, which are comparable to planets, instantly fly towards it like moths to a flame?

Who knows how big the Chaos Sun has grown to be!

"What a hell."

"At least the world hasn't ended. I haven't seen it here, so there's no rush."

"Let's go out first and see the true overlords of this galaxy cluster, the jellyfish planets."

Thinking of this, Liu Jun gave another instruction to his human pope, Munisos.

Let him continue to expand outwards, collect information and data about the local civilization, and study their more complete eighth-order cultivation method.

“I will obey God’s decree,” Munisos replied hastily.

boom!
God nodded slightly, and the phantom suddenly floated away, emitting a soft whistling sound, and shot straight into the sky outside, disappearing from sight.

Emperor Nisi-Ailan, suppressing his shock as he watched the mysterious deity fly out, couldn't help but ask, "So, what should we do next?"

"Of course, it's to share the burdens of the gods."

"This is what we should be doing."

Munisos solemnly declared, "Only by working for the gods can we receive divine grace and elevate our spiritual level!"

"It can be said that our cultivation level is directly linked to our contribution points to the cult!"

"What do you think cultivation is? Secluded meditation? Studying spells and techniques? No, no, no, no, all of that is wrong."

"Here, going to work and being a clergyman is a form of spiritual cultivation!"

Everyone was shocked.

Going to work and earning Divine Enhancement Scrolls is cultivation?

No, something just doesn't seem right.

These gods truly possess the power to distort the rules of the universe. How could they have twisted the rules to such an extent?

"The harder you work and the more overtime you do, the higher your level of achievement will be."

Munesus carefully and deliberately gave instructions to these newcomers, generously sharing his own insights.
"So, you still think my level of understanding isn't solid?"

He looked sharply at everyone and said, “My level of attainment is the result of my steady and diligent work in the cult, step by step.”

Suddenly, everyone felt that it made a lot of sense!
We retreat into seclusion every day to cultivate our spiritual understanding.

They go to work every day, and work to improve themselves.

It seems there's no difference? Both require investing time to become stronger?
"Take a good look."

Munisos produced a Bible that instructed them on how to work, saying, "Study it, look at it, and see what position you are suited for."

The crowd quickly gathered around to watch.

The content is roughly as follows.

At the lowest level, reading a sincere prayer to God every day will earn you the lowest level of Vatican contribution points.

Mid-range, offering resources and money.

High-level, fulfilling the tasks of the gods.

In short, as long as you believe in the gods and do things for them, you can elevate your spiritual level.

Simply put, these eighth-order beings exist entirely dependent on the gods!

You must do the work that the gods have instructed you to do.

You have to find a way to do things ahead of time if the gods haven't given you instructions.

In short, she was a full-time nanny, a doorman, and a bodyguard, doing everything perfectly.

The group looked at the list of exchangeable contribution points for the cult and discussed:

"So you can get contribution points for donating money and goods. I'll bring the national treasury over right now."

“Technological foundation can also be exchanged; I brought all the scientists from my family with me.”

“You can also send your family members to become pastors and make contributions. I also sent my family members to believe in God.”

Listening to what everyone was saying, Munisos nodded with satisfaction.

These people are very quick to understand.

They decisively offered their family's money and put it into God's donation box in exchange for God's indulgence scroll.

They added:

"However, there is a certain probability that the divine spark will shatter if the enhancement fails. Does that mean we need to prepare multiple divine sparks to perform the enhancement?"

"Divinity is only one aspect. The most crucial thing is that we need to be invincible among our peers, and we also need to purchase various artifacts to enhance our basic stats. Dozens or even hundreds of these are a bottomless pit!"

"I see. With such a solid and steady approach, and such a great sacrifice, it's no wonder His Holiness the Pope is so powerful."

The crowd seemed to understand.

All things are equivalent in the grand scheme of things.

It turns out that the other party's divine system is also very difficult and tiring.

"Work hard, serve the gods as mortals on earth, that is the source of our strength!"

Munesus constantly admonished the people.

at this time.

A cheer came from the ground outside.

The figures of other gods also descended at this time.

“After God, the projections of other gods have also descended upon this world,” Munisos said. “You must not offend them.” “Yes!”

They nodded quickly, feeling an overwhelming sense of excitement.

Stepping outside, one sees various powerful primordial divine forces permeating the entire ocean, with believers from different factions constantly preaching.

Among them, a cultivator dressed differently from ordinary cultivators walked over.

He appeared with an air of otherworldly grace, clad in various ancient Eastern attire, wearing a silver crown, a green silk robe, and cloud-patterned boots, striding forward:

"Greetings, everyone. Would you like to consider joining our Eastern Daoist system? Our system was jointly established by the God of Time, Pure Yang Immortal Venerable; the God of Space, Daheitian; and the God of Immortal Healing, Ying Qing!"

Upon hearing this, the others were taken aback and quickly refused, saying, "We are already planning to join God's Church."

After all, God is the king of all gods. Wouldn't it be foolish for him to join other minor religious sects?

The stronger the potential, the greater it is.

The man smiled slightly and said, "You may not know this, but we are a polytheistic society, and we can join multiple pantheons at the same time."

"Furthermore, God rules over the Western gods and the Eastern immortals, and our Daoist court is also under God's command!"

He glanced at Munisus defiantly. "In the West, their papacy worships an all-wise and all-powerful God."

"In the East, God is called the Supreme God of Heaven, who possesses all weapons and laws and is eternally present. He is also known as the Supreme God of Heaven."

It's perfectly normal for gods to have different names in different civilizations.

After hearing the other person's voice, the group hesitated for a moment.

In other words, both sides are sects under God's command, just in different regions.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "What advantages does it have?"

"Hahaha!"

The man laughed and said, "In our Celestial Court, divine status is equivalent to official rank and seal. Officials are divided into nine ranks, with the tenth rank being the emperor of the mortal realm."

He took out a square official seal that resembled a small piggy bank.

"This is our divinity."

The flow of time is present above.

It seems that the seal itself, this small piggy bank, could store some time-related currency used for circulation in official circles.

The man spoke eloquently, “Even a mortal without an official position, if he were to receive an imperial decree bestowing upon him a fourth-rank official seal, his cultivation could instantly soar to the fourth rank! Reaching the fourth level of the eighth rank.”

That's the beauty of their Celestial Court system.

Even ordinary people can become powerful instantly after receiving a title.

Although both are based on divinity.

But for the gods, forging their own divine essence is like a gambler's lottery; a +10 enhancement leads to instant success, while a failed enhancement results in financial ruin.

Here, things are relatively stable.

You don't need to gamble on forging a godhood.

The government will forge them in a unified manner, turning the finished products into divine official seals, which will be distributed to you according to your contributions.
This is absolutely a godsend for those with bad luck in life.

Those who feel unlucky and dare not strengthen themselves will definitely find great benefits here.

Celestial Court will help you with this enhanced fault tolerance.

Furthermore, since their Celestial Court doesn't focus its efforts on strengthening divine status, the powerful within the system have more time to accumulate merits and achievements, get promoted, and exchange for stronger divine status seals.

"I see!"

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

Official rank reflects one's level of attainment.

It truly is a divine official seal, destined to be passed down through the ages!

This celestial court is truly wondrous.

The representative of the Western gods just now represents becoming stronger through work.

The Celestial Court here is a place where you become powerful by becoming an official.

"Furthermore, the world of the Western gods is already a thing of the past, and Ragnarok is about to begin."

"Why keep an ancient pantheon that is destined to be eliminated from history? Even God will eventually take over our immortal cultivation system. Why don't you come sooner?"

The man revealed a smug look.
"I am Ying Yun, a seventh-rank Guangwei Changsheng General, and concurrently the Marshal of the Fubo Navy. The current Zhuyou Shen Ying Qing is my ancestor."

“I have specially invited the divine decree of the God of Healing. As long as you are willing to join, you will be an eighth-rank Protector General and will immediately receive an eighth-rank official seal.”

He took out several official seals with dragon and immortal designs, saying, "These are the highest-level official seals we can currently produce. In the future, after absorbing the resources here, we can forge ninth-grade and tenth-grade official seals. It's not impossible to be granted the title of King!"

Upon hearing this, they all showed signs of interest.

Munisus, watching from the side, was furious: "Damn it! How despicable they are, trying to steal people!"

He spent his life in asceticism, but he was still too simple and honest. 99% of his life was spent in asceticism, and now he spends 99% of his time working.

But how can a hardworking and diligent office worker compare to these shrewd, sycophantic, and business-savvy cyber-educated professionals?
These treacherous scholars from the neighboring Taoist sect are trying to poach his talent.

"Oh no! They're tempted!" Munesos was speechless. My Western Papacy is about to be taken away by them.

"How did these pantheon systems develop into this?"

As Liu Jun flew outwards, he secretly listened to the conversation in the conference room.

Why is it all workplace backstabbing and infighting?

Liu Jun has not paid much attention to the development of the external system in recent years, letting things take their natural course.

The people of this era will develop on their own into a logical system of deities.

What's happening now makes perfect sense.

But what left Liu Jun somewhat speechless was that...
"The West is all about gambling and spending money, while the East is all about climbing the official ladder?"

The people outside seem to lead very exciting lives!
but.

A strange thought suddenly occurred to Liu Jun.
"Wait, I was complaining before that the sixth-order realm was strange. It doesn't require cultivation; you can only have children to help them advance to the next level."

"and I?"

The current eighth rank is the normal cultivation level, but he forcibly modified it.

If it becomes widespread in the universe and becomes part of the cosmic order, wouldn't the eighth rank no longer need cultivation?
His expression suddenly turned strange.

"I used to complain about how ridiculous the sixth tier was, and now I've created a ridiculously similar eighth tier?"

It seems I've ruined this level of skill.

It turned into another absurd sixth order.

So here's the question: were the strange sixth and seventh orders of this universe also misused by some people before?
