Starting with Growing Mushrooms
Chapter 617 - 482: Three New Divine Objects to Choose From
However, there were those who were dissatisfied, feeling that this mythical golden age had forgotten them,
"Hahaha, who doesn't have a perfect foundation now? It's just that those few people had the right time and place, and powerful backers investing a vast amount of resources in them, which brought them fame and fortune!"
Some were not content and believed that if they had resources, they too could become remarkable figures of their time.
Others mocked them:
"Given perfect qualifications, do you even know how to use them?"
"While everyone's physical gifts are the same, intelligence is worlds apart. Some are dimwitted, while others are geniuses in understanding the Way. How can they be the same?"
"True strength lies in conviction! In understanding!"
Just as everyone in the tavern was discussing, suddenly someone brought news.
"Levi and Fors met in the southern Star Domain for a showdown!"
As soon as this news broke, countless young people were instantly thrilled.
These two legendary independent fighters, never joining either side's pantheon, always moved mysteriously as lone wolves.
They were considered the most outstanding independent warriors in everyone's eyes, representing these independent forces.
Many people immediately went to watch.
But by the time they arrived, only the remnants of a battlefield were left.
Levi stood where he was, seemingly defeating Fors with just one move.
Some factions extended an olive branch to Levi.
But Levi declined them all.
"I am naturally a Ninth Tier Divine Vortex, born a true sanctity of the Cosmos, growing a perfect Divine Vortex within..."
"I have received the grace of heaven and earth, naturally carrying a mission bestowed by fate."
"I aim to achieve great accomplishments, to tread an invincible path, to ascend to divinity!"
"This era will not be ruled by the elders!"
Levi was born with grand courage and determination.
Though in everyone's eyes, he seemed a bit overconfident!
...
Be it the decayed Empire or the God Empire, both entered a cold war period.
Both sides were gathering strength.
There had been border conflicts.
But with the emergence of the naturally blessed Levi, both empires found they didn't truly understand this cosmic era.
Much like before, they hadn't known that the Gemstone race would become a key structure of the Cosmos...
The changes in the Cosmos were too vast.
It was precisely because of Levi that both sides set aside their simmering warlike intentions and entered a phase of research competition, beginning to reexamine this world.
The Ocean's Eye Prison.
Every ten years, God would come here to meet an old friend, Magaras.
"Nowadays, there are countless geniuses, so different from before. The universe is colossal and there are Twelve Universes."
God held a glass of wine, sitting before the prison, "With trillions of creatures born every second, monsters of every grade emerge, possibly capable of overthrowing you and me."
God didn't completely isolate Magaras from parallel exchanges with his own parallel self and naturally could obtain such information from there.
"Born Divine Vortex?"
"Just look, God, you are too arrogant, creating such monstrous entities?"
Magaras had also heard of Levi's reputation, "I heard he was born with anomalies, didn't you create this?"
If God hadn't imparted 9999 Divine Vortices, would it be the same?
The Age of Gods had just begun.
It seemed under the influence of various laws and divine powers, the previous mundane mortal era of the Cosmos had begun a complete "spiritual revival," birthing individuals with various mystical constitutions.
These people were born from the heavens and earth, nurtured by the Cosmos. Such lives, it seems, will truly become the trend in the future.
Magaras chuckled, "You've created 9999 Divine Vortices, I won't be outdone... eventually, I'll create a new 13 Parallel Cosmos, let's see who eliminates us first!"
Evidently, he was competing as well.
Isn't it just about enhancing the power of mortals? If you're not afraid, naturally I won't be either.
You enhance one version, I'll enhance another.
"Your obsession is near madness."
Liu Jun observed that Magaras had become obsessed with rivalry.
Magaras sneered, unabashedly saying, "Yes, defeating you has become my heart's desire."
"Tremble, for if I cannot best you, I will call upon a higher, nonexistent trial to defeat you!"
Liu Jun couldn't be bothered with him, instead reflecting that it seems being God truly made him a target for hatred.
Why would someone risk everything to try and eliminate him?
God shifted the topic, "Surya has disappeared... it seems he took his new Divine Object and secretly updated the universe's version."
"Oh? Is it him?"
Magaras nodded, "He has already become a being with multiple Divine Objects."
Following this, God and Magaras discussed a wide variety of topics and information.
Both of them were incredibly proud individuals, without the slightest abnormality.
Magaras' wealth of knowledge was also astonishing, his numerous parallel selves and the decayed academic stronghold beneath him had research institutes throughout the Twelve Universes.
Their exchange only felt immensely rewarding.
Of course.
"You're revealing so much information, that the decayed might be upset as your ally." God suddenly said before leaving.
"Hmph, I said what I said."
Magaras didn't care in the slightest, "They are just mere mortals, laughably insignificant before the gods."
Liu Jun sighed inwardly, feeling sorry for the decayed, and then left.
...
Liu Jun returned to Heaven.
He truly felt that everything had changed, the entire Cosmos had exploded like this into the Age of Gods.
Moreover.
Various heavenly treasures also appeared across different planets.
These plants and animals innately carrying 9999 strands of perfect Dao foundation could naturally imbibe the law and order of the Cosmos, becoming the so-called Divine Plants and Divine Beasts.
The entire cosmos has already entered the era of heavenly treasures.
"There are too many young heroes, advancing so quickly, it's making me feel a bit pressured."
Liu Jun thought the world was changing really fast, and the absurdity of the Divine Objects had transformed the cosmos into this state.
After a sigh.
Liu Jun quietly looked beneath his eyelids.
[Current progress bar: 100%]
Indeed.
After a series of events, Liu Jun's Mushroom Soup was ready again.
Occupying a large amount of territory in the cosmos now, resources were not lacking at all, and with such rapid energy infusions, the Mushroom Soup's progress bar naturally moved fast.
Liu Jun showed a faintly interested smile, "I wonder what kind of Divine Object will appear this time."
"With new Divine Objects emerging, the gods probably really need to infuse fresh blood."
After a sigh, Liu Jun opened the Divine Object introduction.
The first mushroom, an ethereal mushroom...
Liu Jun immediately noticed the peculiarity, "A high life Divine Object?"
Essence, spirit... the Immortal Path, that series of Divine Objects.
Introduction:
"This child was born incomplete, beyond saving."
"Doctor, doctor, please save my child."
"Sorry, I'm afraid he won't live to be twenty..."
"How is that possible? Any disease, we've long since conquered, you're lying to me, aren't you?"
"I'm sorry."
The doctor patiently explained, "Do you know God?"
A beautiful woman said, "Of course I know, the god from the myths and legends, who gave perfect bloodlines to all creatures in our world."
"As long as the god speaks, all sentient beings have powerful cultivation credentials."
"Yes." The doctor paused, "Perhaps only God can cure this child's illness."
The woman suddenly became ferocious, "Are you joking?"
God, this legendary yet nonexistent entity, is widely circulated in their galaxy, but no one has ever seen it, let alone interacted with it.
"Yes."
The doctor said, "This illness is called God's curse. Before God bestowed his gifts, there was no such illness."
"You know, every life has a dynamic balance within."
"If a being is of a very low level, a regular life without Laws... any terminal disease, we can conquer, just clone it, and replace the cells."
"But now it's different, what he has is a mutation of 9999 strands of Laws, not something curable by physical means."
The mother was stunned, "Wait, wasn't there a baby born with a 9999 strands of Laws mutation, born as a Divine Vortex?"
The doctor sighed, "Mutations can be both positive and negative; most children's mutations are deformities, mutating into something worse."
The mother fell completely silent.
Oh my child, why must you suffer such pain at birth?
In the countless years that followed, the mother took her child everywhere seeking medical help, traveling across various star systems.
She spent everything she had but found no cure.
Without any surprises, on the day the child turned nineteen, he collapsed on the hospital bed.
"Oh my child..." The mother wailed, only to find an invisible force merging into his body.
"Mother, I can't take it anymore..." The child felt his end was near.
In the midst of the grief, the mother suddenly discovered a wealth of information flashing through her mind.
[Nine Transformations Immortal Body], [Netherworld Dominator Body], [Heaven-Piercing Eye]...
One piece of information after another in her mind.
It seemed as though she just needed to find some geniuses suitable in constitution to plant these seeds, and their constitution would develop into towering trees.
"I can cultivate constitutions..."
"My child can be saved, I will cultivate constitutions, then strip them off, surely among various Divine Bodies, one can save my child."
And so, the mother began her plan.
She sought out some pregnant women with suitable constitutions, planting Divine Body seeds, causing the fetuses in these women to mutate during the embryonic period.
But these mutations were positive.
"Oh, our child is born."
"Unbelievable, glowing divine light at birth, could it be our child is like the naturally Divine Vortex Levi baby?"
"That's great."
One mother after another cried for joy.
The various Divine Bodies of one child after another attracted the attention of regions all across the cosmos.
But the mother, as the mastermind, always remained hidden behind the scenes.
Those prodigies rose, grew, became stronger, nurtured their Divine Bodies...
In the end, under this mother's calculations, they died unnatural deaths, and their Divine Bodies were harvested, grafted onto her own son.
"Have you heard? That person went crazy and was possessed."
One prodigy after another inexplicably fell.
Gradually, people finally discovered the truth, the demon-like mother.
But they could no longer stop her.
That mother, with a child covered in dozens of Divine Bodies, smashed through the entire starry sky and ascended to the Divine Position.
Becoming one of the high and mighty gods.
She mastered the special constitutions of all beings, one of the fundamental origin orders of life.
...
The Divine Object introduction ends here.
Liu Jun saw this scene and nodded slightly,
"Hmm, this high life Divine Object is still normal, after all, this series has always been aboveboard, without any gimmicks."
"Indeed, after the Immortal Path series of Divine Objects, it's just a variety of special constitutions?"
Which was quite in line with Liu Jun's expectations.
