Starting with Growing Mushrooms
Chapter 661 - 520: Signs of Tier 10 Civilization
"Not bad."
"Heaven Opening, Parallel Space-Time, truly deserving to be one of the Divine Object series, the combination is perfect."
Sitting in the rocking chair of the bakery, Liu Jun quietly watched the endless void of the cosmos outside.
The cosmos had already transformed into a massive bakery, filled with delectable little breads.
The cosmos is the bread.
All beings are the yeast.
They are responsible for fermenting the bread to be delicious and fluffy.
"This Divine Object is truly defying the heavens... At first glance, bread seems ordinary, but when used, it’s earth-shattering."
"The status of this Divine Object is too high!"
"But, what will happen if these breads are eaten?"
Liu Jun showed a contemplative expression, for so far, he still hadn’t created a satisfactory bread.
Of course, it might also be that those who ate it were too weak, unable to handle his bread.
...
Elsewhere.
"Everyone, the long-lost godly disaster has returned once again."
"This time, we might call it the disaster of bread."
At this time, many powerful beings of the Immortal Realm observed as three thousand universes turned into bread, discussing among themselves.
The cosmos had entirely vanished, replaced by a cosmic bakery!
In fact.
Throughout mythical history, many outrageous godly disasters have occurred.
But it was the first time they experienced such a significant super godly disaster personally, one that even spanned the entirety of the cosmos.
Describing this disaster as "altering heaven and earth" would be a modest choice of words.
This scene before them made them fearful.
Because, even after thousands of years in the Immortal Realm, no one has been able to study the Heaven-Opening Divine Power.
Because this isn’t chaos floating before you with a ready-made sample to study!
Indeed...
This divine power is formless and invisible.
Only when approaching chaos does it become manifest.
It is precisely this feature of mystery and void that makes it impossible for anyone to research how to create Heaven Opening.
Difficult.
Too difficult!
At this moment, they finally understood the hardships of the leaders of the mother civilization back then.
"Like headless flies crashing around, fearing it would take tens of millions or even billions of years to find the way forward for the next civilization."
"What is synthesized? How is it synthesized, under what conditions?"
"Unknown, all unknown!"
Scientists under the command of Magaras and Xibo were almost driven mad.
They gathered the geniuses of the entire cosmos, yet were utterly clueless.
It was then they realized that the breakthrough of civilization had no shortcuts; the breakthrough of advanced civilization isn’t achieved through technology, wit, talent, or ability.
The utmost limits of human power are not the issue.
Breaking through civilization is about doing everything humanly possible and leaving the rest to fate.
Prepare every possible thing you can, and then use exhaustive ways to experiment with possibilities to ultimately find that miracle!
Of course, Liu Jun could empathize with their distress and frustration.
For now, as a baker, he is also facing similar technological challenges.
It was at this moment.
The Longevity Divine Tree they had been seeking finally responded.
The Longevity Divine Spirit descended, facing the frustrated people, and said lightly: "You are too attached to your homeland."
Magaras’ thoughts flickered, "What do you mean?"
The God of Longevity said calmly: "To the true mighty ones, as long as there is chaos and Heaven Opening, these two powers... they can leave their universe and step into the endless void."
"Like ancient human civilizations had the threshold to step into the cosmos."
"The area of the cosmos, or territory, is actually the least useful thing... because it can always expand and rebuild. Once occupied, you can move outside and expand a new territory."
Xibo hesitated: "But we only have chaos, not Heaven Opening."
"But the outside world has it."
The Longevity Divine Spirit guided them in a direction: "That baker, he is planting many bread trees outside, it’s his void plant for producing flour."
The crowd’s thoughts flickered.
Is this a heist?
This baker, swamped and unable to attend to everything everywhere.
He took our base, so we steal his bread tree?
Though doing so would be a huge loss.
The value of a vast real universe cannot compare to a few bread trees, can it?
But now, they have no choice!
"We are willing to try!"
As soon as their voices fell, they saw the Longevity Divine Spirit disappear.
Truly worthy of the God of Concealment, with a mysterious presence.
Quickly, these powerful beings prepared themselves, ready to leave their homeland, converting their Immortal Realm into a spaceship, setting off for the void world beyond the cosmos.
Liu Jun saw them off:
"This is better, by sending them out, I can more fully research how to cook bread."
In addition, letting them grind their skills against the outside Oasis Civilization, it serves dual purposes.
Liu Jun’s gaze shifted to the three little white mice,
"One died, as a warning to others, you should be afraid, and next, you better prove yourselves."
...
Year 13191 of the Immortal Path.
The entire bread Multi-Cosmos had fully developed into a surge of civilization.
Countless Ninth Tier powerhouse rose up swiftly, emerging vigorously.
The remaining three Sun Emperors had a simple idea: find more guinea pigs, as long as there are more test subjects, it wouldn’t be their turn to be experimented on.
And indeed.
This tactic proved effective.
Over these centuries, every few hundred years, Liu Jun would select a morally deficient scoundrel as a bread taste tester.
In this way, not only did they have test subjects, but they also raised the moral standard inside the bread, prompting more wholesome civilizational development.
Furthermore.
Perhaps because the bread cosmos was not a conventional cosmos, being a special edible cosmos meant to be consumed.
Its ecological environment began changing rapidly.
Various tasty life forms emerged, like the gem civilization’s transformation into various color candy civilizations.
The cosmos was deeply altered by Liu Jun’s divine power.
As a result, some new races appeared,
For example, the Jelly Bean clan, the Gooey Cookie clan.
During this era, many Ninth Tier Chaos Realm powerhouses were born too.
As they contained chaos within, aging began.
"Damn it, those three beings gained Heaven-Opening Divine Power, breached chaos... establishing a life and death cycle, no longer constrained by lifespan!"
"If we could attain Heaven-Opening Divine Power, we could escape the shackles of lifespan too!"
With the evolution of the era, some powerhouses began seeking ways to gain that blessing from the mysterious existence.
Yet, indeed some succeeded in obtaining Heaven-Opening Divine Power!
Thus, over a dozen pseudo-tenth-tier beings were born.
A new turmoil thus arose.
In another year, before the three Sun Emperors rose fully, a young genius emerged, obtaining Heaven-Opening Divine Power, truly taking that step. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
"I have vaguely glimpsed the path to the tenth tier!"
On this day, among the three thousand breads, in an eel bread world, a powerful presence known as the Fish Emperor appeared.
Covered in scales, lips red and teeth white, he observed the whirlpool of the ocean, swirling, blooming, contracting.
Unknown years passed.
He seemed to stand on the sea surface, like a statue, motionless.
Even Liu Jun slightly took notice of this young lad, "Throughout history, there have been countless prodigies, but this person’s aura is unlike other pseudo-tenth-tier beings. It seems he has embarked on a different path."
"The vast spreading of Heaven-Opening Divine Power has not been in vain."
Time flowed on.
The Fish Emperor, as one of the three thousand dynasties’ Emperors, quietly gazed at the whirlpool.
Years passed unnoticed.
Finally, one day, he suddenly burst into laughter, "Cosmic birth and demise is a catastrophe of heaven and earth, undergoing 129,600 calamities can validate the world!"
At this moment, a majestic voice came from the sky, "Boy, have you realized?"
The Fish Emperor, hearing this voice, recognized it as the era’s sovereign, the god creating the birth and demise of all things.
Yet he was unafraid and spoke frankly: "This method, an extension and a contraction, like a heartbeat!"
"A heartbeat, jumping 129,600 times, would form a perfect cycle of birth and demise, eternally sustaining, the tenth tier can be breached."
"If the Heavenly Divine would grant me this 129,600 times Heaven-Opening Divine Power, then I am willing to break this realm for you!"
Unyielding, poised.
A light "Hmm" came from the sky, "Good kid, you are bold to request such a vast amount of divine power, then indeed you may have a try."
