Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 451 Exchange and Consultation, Nation Building

Magalas is definitely something.

He attacked Galina in secret, apparently to steal her technology?
Liu Jun was already researching the modifications to this sixth-order realm, and Magalas's proposal was quite tempting to him.

Even with his unparalleled wisdom, he still needs similar knowledge to draw inferences from one instance to another.

Moreover, Galina's sixth-order divine modification technology wasn't perfected by her alone; it must have required the assistance of countless scholars from various civilizations to achieve this.

This painstaking effort accumulated over countless billions of years did indeed tempt Liu Jun.

“I will acquire anything of value.”

“Magalas, I agree to your deal. Come to the capital and we will discuss the details.”

The god of merchants turned around and returned to his palace. "Come to my house and let's talk."

“Friend, that’s my home.” Suddenly, Mingtu Mountain made its presence known.

Magalas glanced at Mingtushan, whose face was ashen, and his expression instantly turned strange: "The aggrieved one?"

Even though he was well-versed in the world of gods, this was the first time he had ever seen a god with this kind of gameplay.

The god of businessmen, a master of all kinds of boasting!
This is probably because money can make the devil turn the millstone?
It was precisely because the God of Merchants was so wealthy that he frantically used resurrection coins to exchange for the other party's cart.

This resurrection coin has an unusual and amazing purchasing power!
Magalas laughed and said, "My friend, you must have heard similar plots in many myths: when gods descend to earth, earthly rulers give up their palaces so that the gods may dwell there!"

"No matter how powerful or invincible you are in the mortal realm, you are now nothing more than a mortal emperor of a dynasty of a bygone era."

"Throughout the long and eternal history, the gods in heaven have seen as many emperors and monarchs as grains of sand on earth."

Magalas said this to make the other party realize their own limitations.

Are you very strong?

Ordinary people are just ordinary people!
However, he was so proud because he had never been beaten.

If the god of merchants hadn't come to this land, and these mortals had fought him head-on, he probably would have been beaten so badly he'd be crying for his parents. Where would he have gotten his pride?

"The god of time?"

Mingtushan thought for a moment and said, "I am a mortal on earth, I accept that."

"So, as a god in the heavens, are you interested in cooperating with me to deal with the god of merchants? We mortals cannot defeat him, but surely a god can?"

Mingtu Mountain is not stupid either.

The characteristics of the God of Merchants are so outrageous that he killed him on their first meeting, leaving the other side clueless about how to fight him.

The God of Time's ability to rewind time also caused Galina to be killed at their first meeting, leaving her terrified and fleeing in panic.

He refused to believe that there were no other types of gods that could subdue the god of merchants.

Among the gods, there must be factions and camps that are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining!
"Of course there is a way!"

Magalas smiled. "But why should I tell you?"

Mingtushan asked, "What do you want?"

"I'm sorry, you can't give me what I want right now, and cooperating with the God of Merchants is my best solution. Why should I help you deal with my partner?"

Magaraston paused, a meaningful look on his face. "Besides, if my true form were to descend in person, wouldn't you most want to kill me?"

Mingtushan's expression turned solemn. "Aren't you afraid the God of Merchants will sell you out?"

"I believe he will remain neutral; as the god of merchants, a merchant's reputation is of utmost importance."

Magalas's voice was very sincere: "Anyone might betray me, but I don't think the God of Merchants will."

He said this intentionally so that the god of merchants in the distance could hear it.

After all, if the cooperation is successful, he will have truly risen to prominence.

God has an ancient, immortal god behind him.

Tamargalas, behind whom is the ancient god of merchants.

With their combined strengths, they are bound to carve out a niche for themselves on the front lines of the Twelve Trials of the Universe!
Then, they can launch a counterattack on the first and second trial universes.

He had already imagined himself growing incredibly powerful in this tenth trial universe, and then going back to fight God.

Just thinking about it makes me feel good.

"Mortal, work hard." Patting the emperor of this universe on the shoulder, Magalas teased him and walked into the palace.

After several exchanges, Magalas roughly understood what kind of person Mentushan was:

ordinary.

It is very ordinary in every sense.

But being ordinary also means having a well-rounded personality.

The other person clearly grew up in a very harmonious environment, so they seem like an ordinary person.

And what about those lunatics from the mother civilization?
They all seemed like left-behind children with mental health issues.

"The Emperor of Heaven in this world is so normal that it makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Magalas stroked his chin, after all, he had come to ambush Galina and had been lurking in the Mother Civilization for some time.

Those powerful beings from civilizations that have ascended to higher dimensions all suffer from some serious illness!
Putting aside these random thoughts, Magalas quickly followed the god of merchants into the palace.

The two people were sitting in chairs.

Behind the god of merchants followed two royal guards, ready to kill him at any moment: "Here are the fine wines and dishes you ordered!"

“You’re living quite well.” Magalas looked at the two guards who were constantly killing the god of merchants with a strange expression.

"It all costs money."

As the God of Merchants spoke, he died again, and with a ding, the Time Coin fell, and he quickly revived.

"I can see that; it's an experience that cost a lot of money."

Seeing this, Magalas sighed inwardly, "They really are rich. One per second is actually a lot."

One day, more than 80,000 time coins.

This super VIP luxury treatment is not something that ordinary people can afford!
The god of businessmen can only be achieved by being as rich as a country.

If it were the Pure Yang Immortal next door, who was like a piggy bank, he probably would have spent all his wealth in just a few days!

In reality, Liu Junzhen doesn't have that much money, because he's not some incredibly wealthy businessman. This series has only been out for a short time.
You can't make money that fast, you're really poor!

The reason he can spend more than 80,000 yuan a day is simply because, as a god of immortality, he can extract his own lifespan to refine time coins.

It's a case of self-destruction!
Anyway, the lifespan of the God of Longevity is like a blue bar, which can be restored, so it won't actually shorten one's lifespan.

The god of commerce sat down magnanimously, poured several glasses of fine wine, and

"Absinthe is one of the finest wines in the universe, but they've added a deadly poison to it that could kill me. You can drink it too, right?"

"of course."

Magalas, a proud man, thought to himself: Just because it's poisonous doesn't mean I can't drink it.
If you can't die, neither can I.

He picked up a glass of wine, drank it down in one gulp, and instantly, an indescribable sense of satisfaction filled his heart and seeped into the depths of his soul.

It also has a drowsy feel to it.

Once I fall asleep, I can never wake up again.

"A sedative poison?"

"Once you drink it, you won't even have a chance to activate your abilities?"

But Magalas didn't care. He had already set up a trigger mechanism for himself so that once he died, he would return to the past.

slam-la-

Magalas died.

The next second, all the surrounding glasses, tables, chairs, and air molecules rapidly flowed back.

Magalas returned to the moment before he drank alcohol.

However, the merchant god on the other side was not infiltrated by his divine power of time, nor did he enter his time reversal.

Of course, the two powerful figures beside him, who were both labeled as Gods of Merchants, were not affected by the reverse flow.

They used erasure early on to prevent the reversal of time.

"how is this possible?"

Milan's swordsman revealed a hint of shock, gripping his sword nervously as he looked around the room, everything reverting to what it had been ten seconds earlier.

Nisha, the God of Slaughter, said, "Fortunately, we were prepared and used annihilation to resist the invasion of the Time God's power, so that time could only flow backward for the entire room, but could not flow backward for us as well."

Magalas, standing nearby, ignored the two men. "This wine is good. There's no need to pour another glass. I've always been in the past, and my glass is always full."

And so, to the astonishment of the two powerful figures, a truly terrifying scene unfolded.

Magalas talked and drank, then rewound time to drink again.

One cup of poisoned wine, endless refills.

These two powerful figures also watched in silence. The vitality of these gods is truly tenacious. Are they all so abnormal?

He drank the poisoned wine like water.

What they didn't know was that very few gods could do this, and it just so happened that both gods present could. To be more precise...

The reason the two people are immortal is due to: the mid-time money jar and the high-time anchor point, respectively.

The piggy bank and the ability to reverse time, both possess powerful time-related divine powers, and both have strong immortality!
Liu Jun could almost guess how difficult it would be to kill someone once this time series was complete!

The God of Time and the God of Merchants exchanged a few words. Magalas drank a few cups and then looked at the two men beside him. "With them here, there are many things we can't discuss."

"Then what are you going to do?"

The God of Merchants chuckled. "They're right here, ready to kill me at any moment. I'm just a merchant; I can't possibly defeat them."

Magalas thought for a moment, "I can't beat them either. They are on the same level as Galina, the two strongest generals under the Emperor."

He was very frank, but he didn't think a fight was necessary.
“You remove the obliteration, and they will no longer be able to stop my time power from invading their bodies. I will give them time to turn back.”

When Liu Jun wasn't stealing people, the Annihilation skill was useless; he usually deleted the chaotic rules. So he thought for a moment and said, "I can give it a try. I'll switch to Annihilation."

As soon as he finished speaking, he replaced the Chaos Rule with the Annihilation Rule and deleted it. The Milan Sword God and the Killing God Nishao beside him immediately sensed something was wrong and flew away into the distance.

Unfortunately, it's too late!
The god of merchants stole the destruction of this region in an instant.

Unable to use annihilation to resist the invasion of divine power, the two were instantly overwhelmed by the immense power of time.

what--

It hasn't come yet and it's already screaming.

They and the room rapidly reversed time, returning to the past.

They seemed to have returned to the very beginning, uttering that same sentence:

"Here are the wines and dishes you ordered!"

Magalas smiled slightly. "It's a success. Unfortunately, we were able to turn back time, but they were too strong to kill."

The God of Merchants smiled in agreement, “Indeed, when the gap is too large, it’s meaningless no matter how many times you reverse the flow; you can’t even break through the opponent’s defenses.”

Magalas nodded. "Yes, I had that feeling when I was dealing with Galina; I couldn't even break through her defenses."

"I didn't break her defenses; I mainly manipulated her mind by using time reversal to recreate her distant past, making her believe that she had returned to the past, to the time when her son went to war."

"Let her witness the death of her own child time and time again."

"Finally, I tricked her into having a breakdown and committing suicide, so that she would break down her own defenses."

Magalas revealed details of his fighting abilities.

Set up a stage play, turn back time, manipulate Galina, the pathological mother, and repeatedly relive her scars until she is driven insane.

This is the best way to break through even the defenses.

Liu Jun listened with some amazement: "Just thinking about that scene makes me feel very interesting!"

History repeats itself.

Magalas is so good at manipulating time.

He might be wrong; in the original history, Magalas, as a practitioner of the new method, was unable to break through the defenses of the ancient method practitioners.

Then use this time-based strategy to take on three opponents at once.

To overcome the mental illness of these three people.

But in the end, he still failed.
Liu Jun guessed this way.

Magalas suddenly looked at the two people beside him who were flowing backwards.
"I can only reverse their time for ten minutes. Should we take the opportunity to steal their Dao bodies? One of us each?"

Magalas was already planning to team up and ambush these two people who were constantly in time loops, and kill them!
The God of Merchants shook his head. "It's impossible. You're just turning back time, not turning them into idiots. Whether they were ten minutes ago or ten minutes from now, they won't let me get close to them or touch them."

Magalas nodded: "That's true. The main problem is that we can't touch them. They're too strong and too fast. So, we still need to find a speed-related power."

Liu Jun nodded; now, no one could do anything to anyone else.

Magalas sighed, "I'm still too weak. These two have had their time reversed so much that I still can't do anything about them. That's why I'm here to study our own system."

His ambition was just as great as Liu Jun's, and they even shared the same thoughts.

What ancient method are you practicing?
Even if one cultivates to the highest level, one is merely the leader of those three ancient methods.

They may be strong, but that's the limit for mortals, not the limit for gods!
Let's just take it one step at a time and develop our own new method.

If the gods themselves integrated their divine power into the various realms of the universe, how much potential would that unleash?

Just thinking about it is exciting!
So Magalas sought out the god of merchants, and together they transformed the front lines of the universe, achieving great feats.

Next, as his two guards mechanically repeated their words like puppets, the God of Merchants and Magalas held a detailed and thorough meeting.

They exchanged a great deal of intelligence.

Liu Jun also benefited from a lot of information that Magalas had gathered over the years while traveling around, gaining a deeper understanding of various civilizations throughout the universe.

"The universe needs to be changed in this way."

"So that's how it is. You wanted to take advantage of this Civilization Train crash to modify the data and completely integrate the Magic Network into the rules of the 0th Reality Universe?"

"Yes, the sixth, seventh, and eighth realms are all systems that require divine power to cultivate. They must rely on gods."

"Without gods, can't mortals cultivate to the sixth, seventh, and eighth realms?"

"Yes, in my plan, these three realms that have integrated divine power will be countless times stronger than others of the same level!"

Boom boom boom!
Their wills were communicating wildly throughout the room.

Every second, an amount of information that could overwhelm any mortal on a planet is colliding.

Ten minutes later, the communication stopped.

Magalas smiled. "Let's leave it at that. We'll each tackle our own challenges and then join forces to build a nation."

"As you wish." The God of Merchants smiled.

Magalas nodded. "Ten minutes have passed. My time magic can't hold up any longer. I need to release the cycle."

After saying that, the two people beside him seemed to return to the very beginning, uttering that same sentence:

"Here are the wines and dishes you ordered!"

Looking at the table laden with food, Magalas said, "Thank you for the hospitality. The wine is excellent, and the food is delicious."

After saying that, he packed his things, stood up, and turned to leave.

Only two Milanese swordsmen and killing gods, Nicholas, remained completely bewildered:

"He just sat down after coming in, and he left without even eating anything?"

The God of Merchants ignored their surprise and turned around, saying, "I'm a little tired, go and rest."

After saying that, he went back to bed to sleep.

The two became increasingly confused.

It wasn't until they stepped outside and saw the world change that they realized something terrifying:
"Oh no! The entire room has been turned back in time, and we've been blocked by time!"

The more they thought about it, the more terrified they became.

They thought that Ma had just entered the room and that only a few seconds had passed since they served the food and drinks!
But in reality, a long time has passed.

Their king had previously sent them here to oversee their conversation.

They initially believed that these two weak beings couldn't even break through their defenses, and that they could intercept their telepathic messages!

They had no way to escape their surveillance.

Who can think of
Taking a deep breath, the two of them reported to Mingtu Mountain outside.

Mingtushan's expression immediately tensed up:

"Good! Good! Good! These weak gods can't even break through our defenses, yet they treat our capital as their own home, coming and going as they please, making fools of us like clowns!"

"The people from the lower dimensions have already sent up their data. Once I've figured out chaos, I'll definitely kill them!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

He was merely biding his time, waiting to develop a way to counter his opponent.

But the next moment, he suddenly couldn't hold back any longer:

The god of merchants still reigns supreme in this capital city, unilaterally declaring:

"From this day forward, I shall establish a nation, and this shall be the first year of the Great Shang Dynasty!"

"I will lead the mortals on earth to usher in a new era of mythology."

Upon hearing this, Mingtushan trembled and stiffly raised his head: "They've established a country? They've established a country?"

The two powerful figures beside him paused for a moment, then said, "It must be related to their conversation."

Mingtu Mountain looked at the declaration of the God of Merchants in the sky and gritted his teeth, saying:

"You mean, these so-called gods eat in my house, sleep in my house, and entertain other people's gods in my house?"

"And then, they openly and legitimately established a nation in our own home!?"

The two of them were silent for a moment.

"seems like it."
