Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 421 The Genesis of the Ocean

boom!
"I wonder how much divine power I'll need to awaken the intelligence of this jellyfish?"

With the silent infusion of divine wisdom.

The jellyfish-shaped planet beneath our feet continued to move slowly, as if nothing had happened.

Time passed by minute by minute.

ten seconds.

Twenty seconds later.

This giant jellyfish seems to have finally been awakened.

The creatures on the planet felt the city shaking violently.

"It's an earthquake!"

"Lady Jellyfish is angry again!"

"Is there some work that wasn't done well?"

Terrified cries echoed throughout the city, creating utter chaos.

But after a while, the entire jellyfish planet suddenly calmed down, even becoming more gentle, exuding a peaceful and tranquil feeling, shedding its previous fierce and primitive aura.

A naive thought reached Liu Jun's ears.

"Father God, thank you for bringing me into this world."

"Father God?" Liu Jun was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, based on the information I just gathered, I obtained data about civilization from the creatures inhabiting my body; that seems to be the most appropriate term."

There was no fierceness, rage, or savagery, only a gentle, refined, and knowledgeable aura.

Liu Jun nodded slightly upon seeing this.

It looks like the results are good!

These ferocious beasts have no intelligence; to give them intelligence is precisely where God can bestow his special talent.

If viewed from this perspective, this second trial universe is practically a playground for one's own God, tailor-made for oneself.

The jellyfish that is clearly a juvenile, a seventh-tier perfect jellyfish, has only used one percent of its own strength.

"However, this also means that I can only awaken one hundred jellyfish before I run out of energy."

He gazed at the enormous, swirling nebula where countless stars converged, and a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"My workload is enormous!"

If there were a magic net here, that would be good.

However, this is a virtual conceptual data universe. The real universe is still at the first level, with only the desert universe covered by the magic network.

There is no signal here.
It is difficult to rely on the power of heaven and earth.

As for laying a colossal, cosmic-scale magic net here again?
Who knows when this century-level network infrastructure project will be completed?

Not to mention that this ocean universe is teeming with ferocious beasts, and the deployment of the magic network would likely be a major challenge.

"My magic net is probably not working anymore."

A glint of light flashed in God's eyes, "But this is no challenge for me."

"Since the magic network can't be used, let's try another method."

"Species evolution".

Liu Jun plans to evolve this intelligent jellyfish and then have it reproduce.

The intelligent jellyfish that gave birth to this intelligent jellyfish also gave birth to an intelligent jellyfish.

Spreading wisdom through populations!
For a deity like him, his calculations were not about one race or one place, but about establishing and perfecting a world order that was beneficial to him.

To propel a wave of mythology.

Go and create your own mythological world.

This created super-universe world must be as advantageous to itself as possible, and weaken any enemies that might turn against it.

Thinking of this, Liu Jun gently touched the giant jellyfish's tentacles, and boundless evolutionary power swirled around it, its golden radiance seemingly containing the ancient divine power of the origin of life.

Just a little bit.

The jellyfish shuddered, inexplicably feeling as if a celestial being was stroking its head.

Thus God said:
"Heaven and earth have spirits, and the world ascends to higher dimensions in an orderly manner."

"First Order, the Petrified Desert of Myriad Stars."

"The second order: marine creatures produce wisdom."

Suddenly, the entire vast expanse of starry sea jellyfish trembled.

Almost instantly, all the jellyfish stopped swimming and instinctively looked up at a golden figure.

They instinctively sensed the divine object in the sky, emanating a primal power that they instinctively coveted.

“Jellyfish, I appoint you as the progenitor of nematocysts, to evolve into a race in the sea and then move onto land.”

The jellyfish spoke in a gentle voice: "As God wills!"

"The third cosmic trial is the land." God's astonishing wisdom had already roughly guessed the environment of the third universe.

The Twelve Trials represent the dimensional ascension of the universe, which coincides with the evolutionary path of life.

These mindless marine creatures will inevitably venture onto land and develop intelligence.
This is the transition from the second trial to the third trial.

As soon as he finished speaking, God vanished.

boom!
In the instant he disappeared, countless jellyfish planets seemed to sense God's alluring evolutionary power and swarmed towards him in dense crowds.

The spot where God had just been was instantly packed with people.

They were like bouncy water balloons, densely packed together, looking magical and beautiful.

But after a while.

These mindless jellyfish, realizing that nothing had happened, gradually disappeared.

With their limited understanding, they cannot fully comprehend what just happened.

"Hahaha, what a stupid fellow human."

Only that one, which already possessed intelligent jellyfish and served as the ancestor of nematocysts, quietly departed, saying, "Hehe, thank you, Father God, I'm going to propagate a completely new jellyfish race, evolve in the ocean, and then climb onto land."

It had already vaguely sensed its mission.

After quietly leaving the jellyfish area, Liu Jun looked at the area that was now densely packed with jellyfish and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily, they're not very bright, and I used concealment to block most of their senses, otherwise it would have been really difficult to escape!"

"The beasts and creatures of this universe, though brainless, have the instinct to cultivate ingrained in their genes. They cultivate in the ocean whenever they have free time, and over time they all become quite strong."

Liu Jun didn't want to fight the entire Nebula Cluster.

Humans cannot fight against nature!
At the very least, Liu Jun alone cannot defeat a massive nebula formed from hundreds of billions of planets.

Liu Jun thought for a moment and then unfolded the interstellar map.

To the left of the Jellyfish Nebula is the nebula of hyoliths, and to the right is Anomalocaris.
Liu Jun thought for a moment,
"The workload is quite large. It's like the biological pyramid; each kingdom, phylum, class, order, and family requires research to illuminate each ancestor and guide evolution."

Liu Jun has enormous ambitions. Is this place teeming with wild, primitive animals?
Then enlighten them all!

These creatures without intelligence are just right to be under God's control.

after that.

Liu Jun wandered around for a while, and then returned to the human kingdom he had conquered.

They didn't take those jellyfish seriously at all.

They were too slow to react.

Upon returning to the newly built Temple of God, he decisively issued a new divine decree.

Feeling the primordial state of heaven and earth, where all things await flourishing.

[Dispatching envoys from all directions, according to the classification of marine life, to various star systems, each carrying a treasure containing the power of evolution and wisdom, to enlighten the ancient marine ancestors in their respective regions.]

Yes.

The Second Universe Trial was a fantastic opportunity for Liu Jun!

He could enjoy it without a care in the world, so why would Liu Jun possibly give up such a huge bargain?

No brains? They're all in my pocket!

at this time.

Having just joined the Dao Court, a group of powerful figures with suction cup patterns, dressed in strange-looking Daoist robes, were studying their official seals and attire when they heard this divine decree.

"Time to get to work!"

"God's first instruction has appeared!"

"Haha, I'll do it! This is my first time carrying out a mission for God, I have to do it well!"

Everyone was overjoyed; it was time for them to show off their talents.

When they saw the details of the mission, they were immediately taken aback.

Are you playing that high?
Will God awaken the primordial beasts of the entire ocean and personally drive the creation of the ocean?
Is this insane?
You've just conquered this remote corner of the world, and now you're trying to rule the universe?
Is there something wrong with your brain?
However, God's wisdom seems to be without question.

Someone showed a hint of unease and said in a deep voice, "Isn't this taking too big a step? Those creatures are almost brainless, yet they've already enslaved us. What would happen if we gave them intelligence?"

In their current situation, they are essentially back in the primeval jungle.

These primitive people lived in constant fear, always having to guard against wild beasts, jackals, tigers, and leopards.

If these jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards were to develop intelligence, they would be even more deadly!

"What if they become intelligent and disobedient?"

"Yes, even with wisdom, they may not be as grateful as we are. After several generations, they might turn against the God who gave them wisdom!"

Everyone looked worried.

This is suicidal!

Is God really that arrogant?

Seeing that these few ducks they had just caught had pledged allegiance to the Eastern Celestial Court and donned Taoist robes, Munisos, still furious, couldn't help but curse them:

"madness!"

"How could these marine animals possibly disobey?"

"I think you bunch of good-for-nothings have been enslaved by these marine creatures to the point of being terrified, and have developed an instinctive fear of these marine creatures."

"You're the ones who have no brains."

"Heh, use your ass to think. If these marine animals had brains, would they refuse to go to work? Would they refuse divine status?"

Everyone was stunned. What kind of bizarre thing was this?

If you have a brain, can't you refuse to go to work?

They also discovered that Munisus's theories were somewhat extreme, and that he was a fanatic in a certain sense.

He's become a complete and utter gambling addict.

Munesus declared righteously, "Do you know what the difference is between humans and beasts?"

"Will we use tools?" someone tried to answer.

"Ignorant! The difference between humans and beasts is that humans go to work!"

In Munisus's view, the essence of going to work is to act as a cog and a screw, running the huge machine of civilization every day.

Farming, research and development, and exploration—every single cog in the machine works to ensure the continuous and orderly development of all aspects of civilization's technology.

Going to work represents orderly and intelligent division of labor and cooperation. This is the difference between humans and beasts!
"Going to work is an advantage for intelligent life."

"It's normal that they didn't like going to work before because they didn't have brains. Now that they have brains, we don't have to worry about them not liking to work."

Just like you!

Munisos stated that this is an unprecedented treasure trove, and only with their minds can they have the possibility of believing in God.

"So go and spread the teachings! Spread God's wisdom throughout the world."

"A new Genesis has begun!"

Munesus shouted fervently.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. No wonder this man became God's Pope; he wasn't just putting on an act, he was a true fanatic.

admire.

You have to admire them!
"What kind of eyes do you people have?" Munisos sighed as he looked at these fools. But the benefits didn't stop there.

This is also a massive conscription!

There is no better source of soldiers than these simple and brutal creatures from the stars and oceans!

Once these beasts are conquered, we can challenge the ultimate boss of this universe and explore its secrets at the center of the universe.

followed by.

Perhaps the ocean universe of the second trial is the most suitable place for a large-scale recruitment!
After all, the Twelve Trials are a process of continuous biological evolution.

By the time we reach the Third Universe Trial, the creatures there will likely have already reached the next stage.

"The third universe is probably the Jurassic universe!"

"That is, the era of the Butterfly Clan, the immortal gods!"

"Marine creatures, after leaving the land, these brainless marine creatures evolved intelligence."

"That giant being from the third universe might actually have a brain, and might not necessarily believe in God."

"Therefore, conquering the mindless giant creatures of the second universe is the most convenient option."

Munisos's thinking was very clear.

In his view, the fact that the immortal god instigated a Jurassic butterfly myth in ancient times is probably a harbinger of the upcoming Third Forest Universe.

Thinking of this, Munisus sighed inwardly:
"The God of Immortality, his origins are indeed ancient. He probably really did go through the twelve trials of the prehistoric universe."
