Starting with Growing Mushrooms
Chapter 615 - 480: Civilization and Counterattack
"I'll write something too. Isn't there a Goddess of Destiny in mythical stories? I want a more perfect fate, and I want all my friends here to share a destiny of brotherhood and life-and-death camaraderie!"
A wealthy second-generation Little Fatty happily wrote down his suggestion.
A pretty girl, blushing, also wrote down her vision,
"I want a God of Love, to secretly guide... to find the perfect prince for me, someone to love for a lifetime!"
Everyone was frantically writing down suggestions.
Of course, there were some truly serious scientists who took out many information templates and methodically presented various suggestions and conjectures to improve the universe.
...
The Twelve Trials, the new Heaven.
Liu Jun, as God, watched this scene and smiled slightly.
Cultural invasion was completed so simply, without even needing deliberate facilitation.
Because when a higher, more perfect civilization arrives, it's only natural that many of the natives would become traitors, become guides.
Liu Jun reviewed each of these people's suggestions, some were childish dreams, some were truly feasible, providing Liu Jun with much inspiration!
As wise as he was, he was still limited to his own intelligence and personal thought processes, making it impossible to consider every aspect.
So, getting inspiration from others was crucial.
"Not bad."
Liu Jun sat on a chair, eating a small piece of bread,
"The cosmos has already fallen to the eighth dimension... Many of these suggestions can be used. I'll modify the code and include them in the universe's updates..."
Everything was progressing very smoothly.
Yet Decay just suddenly vanished.
Magaras, after his body was imprisoned, was practicing.
These two enemies mysteriously ceased their activities, leaving Liu Jun feeling a bit unaccustomed for a while.
"Have they teamed up?"
Liu Jun pressed his temples, feeling a bit troubled.
In some sense, Magaras was really capable; he had a hand in everything.
If not for his own Godly "cheat,"
there might have been a real possibility of being manipulated by him and pulled down.
"This guy's strategies are just endless series of tactics."
"Whatever, let's not worry about him for now."
"Let's first look at the universe's update, wait for the universe's new version."
Liu Jun looked at the natives who had already been influenced by divine culture, feeling quite satisfied.
Perhaps in a little while, as believers here grow more numerous, the domain of Decay will be overthrown.
Of course, the overthrow can't be done by the gods.
It would be best if it were mortal people.
After all, it's a fight between mortals.
But Liu Jun didn't mind supporting a new emperor.
The three guys from the mother civilization were somewhat off; they might as well just be enforcers.
If a mortal emperor were to be chosen to rule this land on his behalf, his Pope Munis would be a nice choice.
Liu Jun silently settled on this behind-the-scenes operation, "Though they call it a battle between mortals, it's only normal for gods to bestow some grace on a mortal protagonist."
Although Munis wasn't particularly strong, he was efficient and stress-free.
After weighing these matters, Liu Jun thoroughly relaxed.
Decay... was indeed powerful.
But what use was it?
The previous bosses, the three leaders of the mother civilization, Mingtushan, weren't they all strong?
But could they ever harm Liu Jun?
With the divine objects of the gods becoming more complete and the system becoming more robust, the gap between sides had widened considerably.
Mortals, however powerful, couldn't kill the gods.
At most, the gods couldn't kill them either, stalemating, while the gods watched them being surpassed and left far behind.
"I have broken through to Eighth Tier Perfection, so I'm keeping up with the realm, albeit barely."
He leisurely ate his small bread, instead having more time to ponder his own matters,
"And my new divine object, the Bread Divine Object, hasn't been thoroughly researched yet."
Although it was a divine object of parallel space-time, Liu Jun still preferred to call it the Bread Divine Object.
After all, it was in his mouth, being eaten.
This divine object underwent some testing over the past few days, leading him to conclude:
It was a non-combat type of divine object.
Just bread-eating.
But its status was extremely high.
Each piece of bread could evolve into a miniature universe space...
Like what's right in front of him.
Liu Jun turned his head, seeing his room already transformed into a bakery.
In the center was an oven divine object, with all kinds of bread displayed in the glass case beside it.
Round bread, U-shaped bread, long bread, O-shaped bread... each piece of bread was an embryo, hosting a minute microbial civilization within, proliferating.
The reason Liu Jun could so quickly remodel the new version of the universe was because of these bread universes, serving as experimental test subjects!
"This divine object probably shouldn't be revealed."
Liu Jun pondered, "On the contrary, it's more fitting as a divine object for my alias as the Creator God."
Liu Jun already had a plan to establish a bakery, and even planned to see if he could turn the universe into a giant loaf of bread, like in the stories.
Hmm, although it's a bit bizarre.
But it's not impossible to try.
"Even though it feels a bit like a villain."
Liu Jun stroked his chin, showing a speechless expression.
...
Time passed quickly.
Another half year went by.
The universe successively fell to the 7th dimension, the 6th dimension... and was already headed straight for the 1st dimension.
With each dimensional descent, the entire real universe would undergo a minor update.
Boom!
Finally, the ultimate Zeroth Universe completely collapsed, returning to reality.
It was at this moment that everyone felt the universe had changed.
"What happened? Our realms..."
"Unbelievable!"
The universe was perfected once again, and everyone felt their cultivation aptitude was elevated, gaining astounding insight into the universe's spiritual energy and laws.
They could sense every elemental molecule of the universe's laws.
Each of these people was immensely powerful, and if one had to make an analogy, they were like inherently powerful innate omnipotent divine beings.
Fortuna saw this scene and couldn't help but chuckle, "The universe has finally undergone the changes it should have, and in the future, these people's cultivation speed might soar."
Cain shouted, "They should be grateful for God's gift!"
The God of Magic, Bal, also nodded, "If it were me, I definitely couldn't be so generous, giving out 8000 talents would be enough, one must keep something in reserve, what if they overthrow me?"
Fortuna smiled, saying meaningfully, "Of course, he wouldn't hold back, because he is the proud God."
Xu Changsheng paused and said, "Perhaps God saw this era, where mortals were too weak, lacking any challenge, so He fiercely strengthened the mortals."
As soon as these words fell, everyone showed strange expressions.
It seemed to make some sense.
After all, as they grew stronger, mortals indeed posed no threat to them, the three leaders of the mother civilization, and that decaying one were examples.
Theoretically, they indeed needed to be fiercely strengthened.
But this selfless act harmed the interests of the gods, increasing the likelihood of gods being overthrown by mortals.
Although from a macro perspective of the universe, it was a good thing.
Gods being overthrown and the system of strong taking over positions are the sources of endlessly new strong beings.
And the changes in the Zeroth Reality Universe also climbed upward following the dimensions, gradually affecting the rules of the 1st, 2nd... 12th trial universes.
The Twelfth Trial.
The City of Gods, and even the entire universe, erupted with thunderous astonishment.
"What happened? I've become so strong!?"
"Hahaha, a great encounter, it must be a great encounter, I've turned into an unparalleled genius all of a sudden."
"I've also become an unparalleled genius."
The entire world was swept away by an invisible storm of genius.
Something that shocked them even more happened.
Besides their Ancient Technique cultivation, a new gemstone cultivation system had emerged.
After death, a Death World began to appear, covering the universal vast interface, ceaselessly holding numerous deceased.
The Goddess of Destiny's blessings also began to expand outward, permeating every individual's body.
Many people had begun to accept fate within themselves,
"We accept destiny! We do not become puppets of fate, but because humans know their own destiny, they achieve enduring happiness!"
As a god of destruction known to the people, many alchemists, and mages of various schools began to appear.
The Immortal Path system also started to become prevalent.
Almost every god in the World of Gods started subtly influencing the residents of this Mortal Kingdom amidst this wave of universe updates.
Everyone knew:
The gods had descended, bestowing various gifts upon the mortals on earth!
Just as this Mortal Country was collapsing, destroyed by the higher-dimensional civilization of gods, the decaying one finally reappeared.
When everyone heard that this was God's benevolent act, more people worshiped God, and the decay of the decaying one's rule accelerated.
This was a Dimensional Attack.
All the old allies of the decaying one felt despair.
The new era surged in, like a thunderbolt, smashing their old era's dynasties onto the shore.
Before they could resist, they had already fallen.
"Is this a god?" Some royal dignitaries had already realized that the situation was dire and were preparing to retreat.
But just then. ππ³π¦ππ€ππ£π―β΄π·π¦π.πππ
At the center of the dynasty, the figure of the decaying one suddenly descended from the sky,
"Everyone, I have also modified the order of heaven and earth for the gods, bestowing you with blessings!"
In the face of God's Civilization's invasion, the decaying one's counterattack also began.
"I will establish parallel dimensions for the universe; everyone will have twelve parallel bodies."
"In the twelve dimensions, there will no longer be levels of civilization."
"In the twelve dimensions, all will be parallel dimensions; our territory will expand infinitely."
A multi-dimensional kingdom belonging to the decaying one was established, declaring opposition against God's Civilization.
