Starting with Growing Mushrooms-Chapter 334 - 258: The Fate of the Dead
Liu Jun was startled at heart.
The last man of this civilization wasn’t killed by internecine strife, but was destroyed by other civilizations?
The Eighth Divine Era, and there’s only one last hero left?
How powerful is that enemy?
Liu Jun, listening to this, felt no fear but rather a trace of excitement ignited in him.
The seventh tier, does this cosmos truly have a seventh tier?
Bal couldn’t help but say, "By the way, you’re facing a great calamity too, the end of days is approaching, who knows when those guys will descend upon us."
Bal seemed to have opened up: "However, if I become one of the gods, with my foundation and the gods’ unique powers, we can surely avert disaster, and maybe even defeat those beings."
Liu Jun didn’t hesitate, directly asking, "Are the enemies seventh tier?"
"Ah?"
Bal was taken aback at first, shaking his head, "How could it be, this world doesn’t have a seventh tier, don’t be misled by those so-called novels and stories, reality is reality, there’s no higher realm."
"The sixth tier is the end, beyond that is limitless reproduction, whichever star race reproduces more generations becomes stronger."
Liu Jun felt momentarily speechless in his heart.
Is that all?
"The opposing side is a civilization above the Eighth Divine Era." Bal said, "And there’s a qualitative change, even fate can’t detect them, and even the gods are restrained by them."
"Why?" God said calmly.
Bal said with a sullen face, "It’s simple, beyond the Eighth Divine Era, they naturally have an annihilation field that twists all things, divine power can hardly approach, getting near will grind you down alive."
Tsk.
Liu Jun understood in his heart.
Other divine powers, indeed perhaps cannot approach them.
But my concealment can eliminate all obstacles... their telekinetic distortion barrier is also one of the obstacles.
Easily able to eliminate their standing field, divine power mushroom toxin... invade!
The so-called over-Eighty Divine Eras are just biological civilizations with a bit more foundational power.
Thinking of this, Liu Jun lost interest.
From the information currently obtained, indeed the sixth tier is the limit of this world.
This birthed a greater ambition in Liu Jun:
When my Mushroom Soup swallows this cosmos, my Mushroom Soup becomes the new cosmos.
I set new laws, allowing this cosmos to elevate its ceiling, break through the seventh tier...
"Even the current Ananke gods can’t beat me, don’t be too arrogant." Bal couldn’t help but become nervous, he really couldn’t bear to see such a civilization destroyed.
God shook his head, "No, they might be easier to kill than the previous civilization."
"Ah?" Bal puzzled.
Yes, in Liu Jun’s eyes, they were precisely complacent, thinking they had the protection of a twisting field... making them easier to kill.
Plus, with fate’s machinations, as long as you lower your guard, no matter how many layers you are...
Once you’re hit, fate disregards realms!
Because stacking layers of the sixth tier is not a qualitative change.
For example, the telekinetic mass of the sixth tier’s tenth layer is a diamond, even at the sixth tier’s eighty layers, it’s just a bigger diamond.
All have the hardness of sixth-tier diamonds... your size is just larger.
Actually, the gap isn’t that big.
I’m also the Goddess of Destiny at the sixth tier, can’t I take down your sixth-tier civilization?
Next, God’s heavy words shocked Bal:
"And, in the Goddess of Destiny’s prophecy, a seventh tier is about to be born, if the opponent isn’t seventh tier, then all is meaningless."
"What?" Bal’s pupils dilated: "How can it be?"
"Of course, it can." God coldly said: "Based on currently known information, breaking through the seventh tier at the sixth tier’s tenth layer, the rest of the realms are meaningless."
"Whether you’re ten-fold sixth tier or a hundred-fold sixth tier, breaking through puts you only at the first stage of the seventh tier."
Ah?
Bal’s eyes were full of shock.
...
In the distance.
The Goddess of Destiny also saw this through the web of fate.
"It seems, it isn’t an external civilization that poses a threat to me."
"Estimating it’s still the scene seen in fate, it’s the war between God and me."
She also didn’t care about the civilization Bal mentioned.
How many layers does it have?
In reality, they’re all just withered bones in a grave.
And her goal is the seventh tier.
Once it emerges, it can sweep everything.
Thinking of this, she furrowed her brow slightly, continuing to deduce the future she saw.
"Here it comes!"
"Closer and closer."
She lowered her gaze slightly, the future she saw becoming clearer.
No one knows what the truth of the future she sees is! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
In the future she saw.
Countless sixth-tier materials gave birth, a new Final Evolution Divine Object appeared, which will allow the evolution path of the sixth tier to reach its pinnacle:
The world births the seventh tier!
This final evolution will be a treasure that everyone will covet madly, possessing the potential to break through to the seventh tier!
As time approaches, the scene becomes gradually clearer.
"It’s fate! I saw..."
"It’s the moment when the next Divine Object descends, the world is about to change."
"And with the arrival of the next Divine Object, God and I will contend for it, thus becoming mortal enemies again."
Her gaze revealed a hint of vigilance, she saw that scene and felt a slight sweat on her back.
Until now, she still couldn’t quite imagine everything she saw.
"It seems, I must continue to prepare."
The Goddess of Destiny, Fortuna, knew that without the initial killing blow, [Destiny] could not defeat [Mystery].
Named with no direct combat ability, she was just a weakling!
And the strength of destiny lies in scheming.
Now, she must continue to scheme, to weave one advantageous future after another for herself, creating hints and setups.
"The Bal I’ve brought is incredibly strong and is one of my trump cards in battle."
...
Liu Jun was unaware of someone’s preparations.
His Mushroom Soup indeed reached a new turning point.
[Current Progress Bar: 100%]
It awaited once more.
Having bid farewell to a certain Bal, Liu Jun rarely returned to the Cangwu Tree as a Longevity Divine Spirit.
He played with the silly, Low Wisdom pet, the Amber Swallowtail Butterfly, for a while before starting to handle business.
"Draw a card."
Liu Jun sighed deeply, rubbed his hands together excitedly.
Draw lots.
Each time is so thrilling.
Especially the recent wave of gains, the money lining his pockets kept him in high-speed recharge mode, unable to stop.
He first looked towards the number one mushroom.
[Silent Finale]: You grasp the fate of the end of dead things.
Introduction:
My name is Moira.
I grew up in the slums, ugly and unsightly, ridiculed since childhood.
From that time, I knew that the fate one is born with is set in stone.
Those born beautiful, with outstanding talent, and good lineage—if lacking these innate conditions, then one’s life will be spent in misery.
From the moment you’re born, 80% of your life is already decided.
Ugly, without cultivation potential, unable to break through even the first tier in my life—what could I do?
The future is foreseeable.
I worked in a chaotic bar, where the strong humiliated the weak at will.
The affluent trampled the weak into the mud, and I could only cautiously work as a server.
I told my friends, this is fate, the inborn, unchangeable fate.
The strong are destined to bully the weak.
Survival of the fittest, that’s fate!
But my friend told me, "Fate can be changed, I have to change fate."
We argued endlessly.
Until that fateful night when my roommate and I were heading home, we encountered thugs in a secluded alley.
To protect my roommate, I was stabbed eighteen times.
Nearing the end, I told her, "This is fate."
"No, I want to escape this world!" my roommate cried, collapsing.
My name is Moira, and I died in the past.
I thought I was long dead, consciousness returning to oblivion, until I acquired a mysterious power.
I reawakened in the past.
I died in the past, lingered in oblivion, and from the past, I saw the future unfolding.
What am I now?
Am I... still alive?
I began to understand everything.
I realized that I am the dead, the only unseen god in the Age of Gods.
Even the gods do not know of my existence.
I am the lifeless destiny of dead things; I control the world’s dead things, and even I can only exist within death.
Yet I still control the fate of all dead things.
The fate of stones, the ocean, the stars... I saw them.
I manipulated their trajectories like building blocks.
But I was so alone.
Until one day, I saw the fate of a dead thing: the Tablet of Destiny.
I saw the true master of the era: God.
Turns out, God’s power didn’t bestow ultimate wisdom; it originally awakened the wisdom of dead things.
For a moment, I trembled from the heart. Can I return from oblivion?
I altered the fate of this dead thing—the Tablet of Destiny—allowing it to fall into Jesus’s hands.
With strong fortune, Jesus awakened God.
God finally awoke, and someone saw me:
"I will grant you miracles, allowing you to gather a false form from dead things."
The man stood with the light behind him.
Finally, someone saw me. I followed this man who ascended to the altar, helping him become the god of the new world.
The death of all things will be determined by me.
...
Liu Jun, after finishing reading, gradually grew solemn.
The host of this Divine Object is actually someone who has already died?
Controlling the fate of dead things?
Does this mean only the dead can take this Divine Object?
Liu Jun frowned slightly.
This Divine Object is also ambiguous, and he wasn’t keen to take the risk.
Moreover, this Divine Object’s introduction foresaw the future; the person it followed was God.
