I am Jinshan Youxia

Nothing can kill him in this state.

Zhang Chengyi named this ability the Creator.

Unfortunately, his control was limited to the city of N. Within his territory of N, he could have whatever he wanted. Leaving aside abstract concepts like mind and rules, the material world is composed of the microscopic world, so naturally, he could do whatever he wanted.

It's nothing more than a combination of computation and microscopic particles.

The reason for the limitation of his abilities is not complicated. His computing ability has reached an absurd level with the support of his other world bodies, but it has not yet reached the level of creation at the microscopic level. Unless the main god's light sphere clone is stopped and used to calculate how to control infinite microscopic particles, the other bodies combined can only control Japan at most.

This is different from the forces in many worlds that rely on various abilities to destroy planets and shatter different worlds. Purely using computing power to manipulate and observe microscopic particles is a path that civilizations or groups can take.

Successfully navigating this path means that we can use scientific concepts to analyze the world.

Creation and destruction are separated by a single thought.

This was also Zhang Chengyi's highest hope for humanity in this world. He left related experimental directions to the microbiome laboratory, but it is highly likely that forty years would be far from enough to complete it, and sixteen years would be even more difficult.

But if the humans in this world can survive, they might one day be able to go beyond the world, stand in the endless void, and help his original self in some way.

Whether the seeds planted casually will sprout or not is up to them.

"I'm still not quite used to it, except for myself."

Zhang Chengyi had another thought, and the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped. The bright sunlight shone on the ground, reflecting golden light on the puddles. In the cracks of the road, green grass sprouts were struggling to raise their heads, absorbing water and sunlight.

He sat back down, and a soft sofa appeared out of thin air to catch him.

"What should I do next?" The surrounding scenery seemed to disappear and reappear as if it had been edited out. He silently arrived in front of the high school student Oshikiri's house, looking at the house that could lead to a parallel world, a hint of interest on his face.

"Perhaps, other parallel worlds..."

Update later...

The finishing part is a little stuck.

Chapter 357 The Fifteenth Year of the Divine Descent

In May of the second year of the Divine Descent Calendar, Earthlings left their home planet, bid farewell to the Lord of the Microbiome, and officially began the development and colonization of all other planets in the solar system.

Thanks to the increasingly advanced mushroom technology, in two years and seven months, Earthlings have covered all the planets in the entire solar system. They have initially mastered how to use microscopic particles to accelerate travel and replenish energy, freeing themselves from relying on the ▇▇. They have begun to head towards the Milky Way to try to observe the hellish star that is on its way to destroy humanity.

At the same time, the Earth's human population exceeded 10 billion.

In September of the sixth year of the Divine Descent Calendar, Earthlings saw Hell Star for the first time from the perspective of the mushroom clone, which was more than fifty light-years away. The mushroom clone exploded instantly, and the space mushroom was also completely devoured.

Until March of the following year, Earthlings tried tens of thousands of plans to destroy the planet, but none of them succeeded in destroying Hellstar.

In July of the same year, the mushroom-shaped artificial human was unveiled, completely mimicking the corresponding human in both mind and body.

In October of the same year, hundreds of millions of mushroom clones escaped into deep space aboard interstellar travel mushrooms. Three days later, Hellstar deflected and went to chase after the mushroom clones.

In January of the ninth year of the Divine Descent Calendar, the mushroom-made humans were all wiped out, confirming that Hell Star would accelerate during the chase and possess a certain degree of memory and thinking ability.

According to calculations by the Mushroom City Laboratory, using mushroom imposters to fake human migration can effectively delay the arrival of Hellstar in the solar system. However, Hellstar's speed increase during the chase is permanent, and it is not affected by any physical laws during flight. When it eats the mushroom imposters, it exhibits obvious anger.

Time flies, and it's March of the fifteenth year of the Divine Descent Calendar. On the moon, in the second phase of the Mushroom City community, apartment 11, room 9010.

[You have successfully passed the selection process for the Interstellar Expedition Team. If you are interested, please arrive at the First Laboratory in Mushroom City within three days to participate in the interstellar expedition simulation.]

Kitawaki Shihiko stared at the pop-up window on the mind network, frozen in place for a long while. He first jumped up excitedly, then his head hit the ceiling with a thud. Then, thinking of his younger sister who was working as a researcher in the lab at Mushroom City University, his face fell.

The interstellar expedition team was established based on a message sent back by a deep-space probe mushroom three months ago. Near an unfamiliar star system, the fleeting deep-space probe mushroom seemed to have encountered aliens.

Spaceships and weapons capable of penetrating the beams of the Cosmic Mushroom series of defenses.

After that, they released several more Deep Space Probe Mushrooms, only to be met with relentless attacks, without even giving them a chance to communicate.

Therefore, the church took the lead and decided to form an interstellar expedition team.

The reason it wasn't called an expedition team was because we went with the mindset of communication. The Lord of the Microbes taught Earthlings to be friendly, harmonious, and overcome difficulties together. After all, we are all life forms in the same world, and there is a hellish planet in the universe that is currently completely unsolvable and is devouring planets. We definitely need to communicate with other life forms that have lived in the universe for who knows how long.

If it really is some kind of dark forest theory, then a long-distance voyage can become an expeditionary force.

This was an unprecedented event, an action that would 100% impact the history of humankind on Earth. At the time, Kitawaki Shihiko signed up without a second thought, not expecting to be selected at all, just to give it a try.

After all, no matter how special his abilities are, in the context of all humanity, his strength could not possibly rank in the top ten million. Even in terms of the uniqueness and development of his abilities, he probably wouldn't even make it into the top one million.

There's no way around it, there are just too many geniuses and peculiar bacteria.

Who would have thought he would be chosen?

So here's the problem: he didn't tell his sister that he had signed up for the interstellar expedition team. Just a few days ago, his sister Xia Mei was urging him to go on blind dates and strive to contribute to humanity. Now, out of the blue, he's telling his sister that he's going to join an interstellar expedition team where he might have a direct conflict with an unknown enemy.

Just thinking about it makes Kitawaki Shihiko feel like he's going to get beaten up.

Yes, that's right. His sister, Kitawaki Natsumi, is far stronger than him in combat. To be precise, he can only rely on his special ability to dodge and escape. Facing a highly educated group of people who can use psychic power and energy dissipation with the help of mushroom devices to fight at the microscopic level, his chances of winning are almost zero.

In the early years, people were considered more capable by having more imagination. But in just over a decade, it has become more about who has a better brain and more knowledge.

On the one hand, the cultivation of superhuman bacteria in the body is basically completed in three to five years at most, and enters the accumulation stage. In the next ten years, it is just a matter of accumulating numbers. Superhumans at the same level cannot make a difference at all, so skills and applications become more important.

On the other hand, the application at the microscopic level is too extreme and requires a wealth of knowledge and intelligence as a foundation. Even someone who transplants extraordinary bacteria for the first time can crush an opponent who does not know how to apply microscopic abilities as long as they master the application of these abilities.

The ability to utilize one's body at the microscopic level is a very clear line of strength; above that lies understanding, knowledge, and brainpower, below that lies mere mediocre.

Kitawaki Shihiko's awakened abilities were initially very inflated, making him feel invincible. Then, he was immediately knocked unconscious by a seemingly weak researcher in the laboratory who looked at him at a glance.

Just as the amount of spiritual power is determined at the moment of awakening, the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge at the micro level is also a kind of talent.

If you can't learn it, you can't learn it. No matter how much you force someone, they can't solve advanced math problems.

"Click~"

The door was opened, and Kitawaki Shihiko looked over in surprise. "Why are you back so early today?"

Standing in the doorway was Kitawaki Natsumi, a warm smile on her face that hadn't been seen in a long time. "Brother~"

"Stop." Kitawaki Shihiko reached out to try to stop his sister from calling him so intimately. Ever since she graduated from university about seven years ago, she had been calling him "older brother." The sudden change to such an intimate tone made him feel like something was wrong.

Kitawaki Natsumi walked over after a long absence, her voice even sweeter: "Brother~ I have something I want to discuss with you."

Kitawaki Shihiko rubbed the goosebumps on his arm and said, "Let's talk this out. Don't mumble. Also, I have something I want to tell you."

"Huh?" Now it was Kitawaki Natsumi's turn to be surprised. Her brother, who had awakened his abilities, was incredibly proud. After being demoralized in the lab, he had been living a carefree life for a long time, just working, going home, drinking, and traveling. For the past ten years, he hadn't consulted her about anything. Why was he doing this today...?

Wait, today?!

Her eyes widened, she pointed at her older brother, and asked incredulously, "You were also selected by the interstellar expedition team?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, do you have any complaints about me being chosen? I'm someone who has made outstanding contributions to all of humanity, so it's perfectly normal for me to be chosen!"

Kitawaki Shihiko expressed strong dissatisfaction with his sister's inexplicable behavior, only to realize something shortly afterward.

"What do you mean by being selected?"

Chapter 358

The next day, in the morning, at the First Laboratory of Mushroom City.

"Just how many people were selected?!"

Looking at the sky filled with people, Kitawaki Shihiko felt an intense urge to smash things and roar.

"Hey, Kitawaki, you're here." He felt his arm being put around his shoulder.

"What's going on? Takagi-nii, you're here too."

Kitawaki Shigehiko was even more troubled. His colleague and drinking buddy, Takagi, was no expert at all; even his ability, spatial cutting, was transplanted from him.

The microbiome he awakened was a microbiome capable of modifying his body and allowing him to experience space. Thanks to its rarity, it was recorded in human history after awakening, becoming one of the top three rarest microbiome species.

However, controlling it is one of the most difficult tasks.

Space itself is an abstract concept, not something that actually exists. He calls what he can perceive space, while the laboratory calls it "limited observation of three-dimensional space," saying that its essence is a mental ability that is extremely biased towards the observation of matter.

He initially thought it was a useless ability, but later he was recommended to have a psychic microbiome implanted, which allowed him to manipulate the space he observed, such as teleportation, blurring, and cutting—superpowers of fantasy space mentioned in comics and novels.

He sensed it as space, and used it as space, so he naturally assumed that he was a space-type superpower user.

When others have their gut microbiota transplanted, they can also inherit some related abilities. Most of them have preferences. The main characteristic of the mental microbiota is that each person's performance after transplantation is completely different.

Incidentally, his bacterial flora has excellent versatility, but precisely because of this versatility, it has become a high-risk bacterial flora that requires verification and approval before it can be implanted.

"Hahaha~" Takagi laughed heartily, "Didn't you know? Everyone in the Juncheng Security Team accepted the invitation."

"what?!"

Kitawaki Shihiko was shocked. The Mushroom City Security Team had more than 30,000 people. How many people did the Interstellar Expedition Team send with them?

Takagi didn't mince words and said with a smile, "Our security force alone will send 100,000 people, and the Church and the Earth Federation will probably send even more."

It turned out to be the case.

Kitawaki Shihiko immediately understood why so many people had to be arranged.

The gods have long resided on Earth, while humanity has been expanding its territory outwards for the past fifteen years. It should be noted that in just a few months on Earth, microorganisms and laboratories have already produced a large number of new achievements. Upon arriving on the moon, these achievements, combined with human science and technology, have led to a flourishing of extraordinary civilizational results.

However, the flourishing of the extraordinary civilization also meant that the original human population could not all be under the rule of the security forces and the church. Under the enormous pressure from Hellstar, it eventually evolved into three major factions.

The new security force, built with the Earth-era security force as its framework, aims to stay in the solar system, prevent the Hell Star from approaching, and fulfill the agreement between God and humanity as soon as possible, forty years from now.

The rapidly growing church is more extreme. They have never given up on destroying Hellstar. Until last month, they even tried to release a super terrifying molecular mushroom bomb. According to the news, it did indeed remove a small part of Hellstar, leaving it stuck in place for almost a week. Then it miraculously returned to its original state, with an even angrier expression and a faster speed.

As for the Earth Federation, their demands were simpler: escape. This didn't mean abandoning Earth, but rather using the escape to lure away Hellstar and prevent Earth from being destroyed as their justification. Their slogans were particularly loud, and they had quite a few supporters among the general public. Unfortunately, they didn't gain much recognition from the powerful, and their own training capabilities had fallen far behind. They could only shout slogans in the media every day.

Whether it was an excuse or not, Kitawaki Shihiko didn't know, but as a member of the security team, he had his own stance.

The Microbiome Laboratory inherited its superior status from its time on Earth, absorbing all the scientists and geniuses of the era, establishing universities in every city, and cultivating countless top-notch experts. Ironically, it became the wedge that firmly held the three factions together.

Without the existence of the microbiome laboratory, the three factions would have surely parted ways long ago, if not fought to the death.

Getting back to the main point, none of the three factions would give up such an unprecedented opportunity as contact with extraterrestrials. Whether it's the potential benefits, glory, or a deeper method of combating the aliens, these are all things that humanity, which is currently struggling in its fight against Hellstar, needs.

However, after fighting for more than a decade, the numerous bloody incidents and mutual hatred that occurred in secret made it absolutely impossible for the three factions to unite. After all, anything can happen in deep space, where travel takes years.

To ensure contact with aliens without being killed inexplicably and to sustain a journey of several years, the only option is the latest achievement of the Mushroom People from the past two years:

Planetary mushroom.

A mushroom the size of a planet would have cost humans so much that a large number of mushrooms would have completely swallowed a planet. The first victim was Pluto, and since then, humans have been frantically creating planet mushrooms outside the solar system.

Planetary mushrooms can not only live and travel, but also maintain long-term contact with deep space. In critical moments, they can also serve as super-sized self-destruct bombs and hellfire explosions. Only this kind of thing would require 100,000 people to activate, making it humanity's last line of defense and fortress.
