Starting with Growing Mushrooms-Chapter 358 - 277: Xu Changsheng’s Inquiry and the Changes in Chaos
Xu Changsheng has always been calm and composed, hiding his emotions.
But now, even he couldn’t hold it together upon witnessing this scene.
Because over the years of his research, he knew better than anyone the terrible nature of the "Chaos Disaster."
Just a small lump the size of a fingernail, its mass and density were incredibly terrifying, and the wind paths it stirred up as it cut through the sky were far-reaching.
Wherever it went, it assimilated everything into one.
If not for their Immortal Path’s discovery and the deliberate use of some strong winds to guide the trajectory of these wind paths, this thing might have scattered everywhere, slamming into the earth’s core and piercing a hole in the entire planet.
It could even shuttle back and forth like an embroidery needle, turning the planet beneath into a giant sewing ball full of holes.
And now.
You’re not just failing to resolve this mass of chaos; you’re increasing its size?
Doubling every year, destroying in about a hundred years.
Now you’re helping it expand by 20%?
As the ruler of this era, the Pure Yang True Immortal of the Immortal Path Era, he felt it was too difficult for him!
"Calm down."
God had a favorable impression of this worker and said:
"The traits of chaos always need testing, and which divine disaster hasn’t been a world-ending crisis? You’ve followed the Longevity Divine Spirit for many years, how could you not know?"
Xu Changsheng sighed, "But this time is different, this divine disaster is clearly more terrifying than those of the past."
Over the years, he had been deeply troubled.
As for the guide, the Longevity Divine Spirit, who granted him a super cheat ability to dream into prehistoric parallel space-time?
In his dreams at night, he turned into another person, with his life and memories distorted.
In that space-time, Nachi was caught in the calculations of the Goddess of Destiny!
He even lost his true self, manipulated by the Goddess of Destiny, and upon waking each time, he forgot the previous events.
As a result, he didn’t obtain the Sixth-tier breakthrough information of that world, nor was aware of the great battle between the Goddess of Destiny and God.
He had become a laggard of the era.
"You fell victim to the Goddess of Destiny’s attack, had your memories distorted, and upon awakening, you forgot quite a few things!"
God suddenly said, "I originally intended to let the era develop naturally, and the Sixth Tier would likewise emerge naturally, but since this divine disaster is imminent, I must lend you a hand!"
With that, God’s movements were so swift that Xu Changsheng couldn’t react.
Hiss!
God extended a finger, gently tapping his forehead.
In the next moment, the endless twisted memories from the Goddess of Destiny, various lives’ memories poured into his mind.
He seemed like those mortals lost in destiny, in that instant he browsed the Destiny Tablet, primitively regressing from various lives, layer upon layer of self-dimensions falling...
I remember now.
I remember now.
As a fortune teller, as a blood clan member, I once savored delicacies as a musician, and was even once the Holy Grail among the 78 Tarot cards.
I followed the Goddess of Destiny, accompanying her in the sky music palace to play music, distorting the world’s destiny time and again...
"I once helped Xiangtuo Mo establish the Beast-head God’s Bloodline Knight System."
"I once helped the footless bird build the Sacred Body, embarking on the Pineal Gland journey."
"I am a witness of the God Era, a friend of the Demon King Goliath."
"In the Tarot Era, I was... the Holy Grail, one of the 78 followers of the Goddess of Destiny."
Identities and experiences from each era re-emerged thereafter.
The enormous amount of memories, along with various invaluable information, flooded into his mind, causing Xu Changsheng as the Longevity Seeker to tremble involuntarily.
Sixth Tier, Seventh Tier...
The results of enduring thousands of hardships across these eras made him incessantly accept the information.
Sixth Tier, so utterly hopeless...
Can it only be achieved through procreation?
However, the Goddess of Destiny found a new method.
At this moment, Xu Changsheng instantly understood the way to cultivate to the Sixth Tier, he could also create a Sixth Tier profession [Cultivator] through the order of gods.
Wonderful!
The long-awaited cultivation information made him can’t help but run back to share it with Black Heaven, this powerhouse, to jointly study how to perfect the Immortal Path...
Only by breaking through to the Sixth Tier can they better contain chaos!
"Thank you, God." The Pure Yang True Immortal praised.
They were stuck at the Fifth Tier Peak for too long, now with a path, the Sixth Tier is estimated to experience an explosion.
Moreover, they don’t need to take a crooked path, no need for 70 or 80 layers at the Sixth Tier, reaching the Tenth Layer of the Sixth Tier suffices to consider the possibility of breaking through to the Seventh Tier.
However...
The breakthrough to the Seventh Tier requires both the goddess of destiny and evolution, these two supreme gods, to join forces and set up the situation!
And on their side?
"There must be a way, breaking through to the Seventh Tier definitely doesn’t have only one method, there are surely other paths, the gods of our Immortal Path can also achieve it."
Xu Changsheng sighed, "Even if we don’t have a way, God surely possesses the [Evolution Knight] and [Knight of Destiny], capable of using divine power in these areas."
With this thought, he suddenly became clear-minded.
God now evidently intends to emulate the Longevity Divine Spirit, taking the neutral god’s reclusive path, thereby passing through each era and epoch.
Thus, God is helping them endure this divine disaster!
Now, a closer look.
The supreme god of the [Divine Object], is merely a threshold.
Under the waves of various mythical eras, even supreme gods could perish... only a few extremely survivable supreme gods, like God, Longevity Divine Spirit, have the qualification to endure the great tribulations time and again.
Not to mention the Longevity Divine Spirit, God’s omniscience and omnipotence, the compatibility is too strong, surviving is the most normal outcome.
His thoughts quickly surged, so what about the Goddess of Destiny?
Is she still alive now?
He got a goosebumps and couldn’t help but ask, "Now that I’ve been enlightened by you, remembering her dark past, will she hold a grudge against me, cause trouble for me?"
God nodded, "Of course she would, her dark past is too outrageous."
Upon hearing this, Xu Changsheng’s face turned even darker than when he saw the chaos expand earlier.
It’s over.
After a primordial return, I recalled various dark pasts of the Goddess of Destiny...
God said: "It’s not too late to regret now. I can use fate to twist your memory again, so you’ll forget the Goddess of Destiny’s dark past. Do you need me to do this?"
Xu Changsheng gritted his teeth, "There’s no need."
There are gains and losses. Because of the fear of being targeted by fate and suffering misfortune, he could not give up such precious knowledge and information.
God showed a slightly satisfied expression, "Those who follow the Immortal Path are self-reliant and do not yield to the Goddess of Destiny. That is the essence of your Immortal Path!"
Xu Changsheng’s expression gradually became resolute.
Seeing this scene, God was slightly satisfied. Such resilient workers who do not succumb to difficulties are the best.
As for the Goddess of Destiny?
Just right, a rift is now planted, which can be a precursor to future conflict.
This isn’t Liu Jun being cunning or enjoys seeing them fight; he is diligently working.
The Mushroom Gardens need competition to progress.
Above this Immortal Path world, the outer starry sky, having picked up the resource pack from the Deep Diver civilization, is now a new continent built by the Goddess of Destiny, vast and boundless.
Liu Jun anticipates that their Immortal Path world will fully develop, escape Mushroom Soup, and enter the era of star wars with the gods of the Magic World!
As for the wild civilizations outside, the Deep Diver civilization, the Flower People civilization...
After several contributions, Liu Jun has lost hope for this backward reality universe. Even my mushroom Divine Object is more formidable!
At this moment.
God reanalyzed the chaos but did not manipulate it. After observing the movement trajectory of the "disaster star" for a moment, he prepared to leave.
At his end, Xu Changsheng wanted to speak, but eventually, out of fear of the Goddess of Destiny, he couldn’t help but ask:
"I wonder, is the world I dreamed of a distant past memory or a parallel world in reality?"
Finally, he directly asked the question.
After all, this doubt had lingered in his mind for far too long.
God certainly wouldn’t choose to answer him but instead asked back, "What do you think?"
"Previously, I thought it was another parallel world!"
Xu Changsheng showed a trace of seriousness,
"But now, seeing the Goddess of Destiny constructing various parallel worlds, I begin to doubt... will there appear gods of time and space in the future?"
"If such great power truly exists, perhaps, with the help of the Longevity Divine Spirit, I traveled through time to the distant past?"
"If that were true, it would mean that the Longevity Divine Spirit, God, you all have already detached from the timeline, standing above countless time-space dimensions? Able to travel freely to the future and past?"
Xu Changsheng’s imagination was rather vast.
If it were before, he would never think so, traveling to the past and future was too exaggerated, but now even the parallel worlds of fate have emerged...
God did not answer directly, "Who knows, what you have to face now is chaos."
Xu Changsheng wanted to ask more, but saw that God had already disappeared without a trace.
Xu Changsheng stood in place, showing a trace of longing and determination, "Goddess of Destiny, what an interesting world, they’ve already begun to reach the Seventh Tier..."
He looked up at the boundless starry sea:
"If that place truly was the distant past billions of years ago, then perhaps the Goddess of Destiny and others may have experienced a unification of the galactic system, then encountered calamity, leading to the cosmos’s destruction, causing the stars to revert to an original, rudimentary state?"
He sighed softly in his heart, feeling that history is too marvelous and intriguing.
...
Liu Jun sent off the enthusiastic Xu Changsheng, returning to his own abode.
That lump of chaos, why not take care of it.
After all, he truly had no way to handle it!
Sitting on the chair, instead, he began to ponder, "The characteristics of chaos are quite weird; it can actually be synthesized through the Low-Rank Attribute Divine Object series..."
It’s a trait that other Divine Objects don’t have.
But upon thinking, it’s also reasonable.
Compared to other Low-, Mid-, Upper-, Ultimate Divine Objects, the Attribute Series is inherently a synthesis series, the Five Elements of Light and Darkness... It’s naturally combinable at a glance.
There’s nothing strange about this.
"What if I hand this chaos synthesis formula to the neighboring Bal?"
"Although he doesn’t have wisdom as powerful as mine, if he patiently researches for a while, he might also be able to synthesize chaos."
"For this God of Magic Bal, it can be said to be a qualitative transformation!"
Manually synthesizing chaos does not mean possessing a Chaos Divine Object, but rather artificially creating the naturally occurring Chaos Divine Power of this Divine Object...
This item’s characteristic is [Super Erasure]. Once created, it becomes the bane of all gods, Bal will undoubtedly become stronger because of this, even overpowering the Goddess of Destiny and the Evolution Demon God...
However, using this thing in battle has huge side effects, which can be said to increase a world’s "entropy."
Because the chaos you create cannot be eliminated.
When you manually synthesize chaos, this chaos will grow naturally in the world, flying everywhere and expanding, and the world will eventually be destroyed.
"When using chaos, does that mean this world will soon perish?"
"This is simply a forbidden power."
Liu Jun contemplated ways to deal with chaos and seal chaos.
So far, any Divine Power from the gods is powerless, even the Concealing Divine Power of the Longevity Divine Spirit will be erased by the other party.
The only solution is using Xu Changsheng’s crude method:
Steer the flight path of chaos, letting it move into vacuum zones without matter and energy.
Chaos grows by absorbing matter and energy; this way, it keeps it hungry, greatly reducing the other party’s growth rate.
However, this only slows development; eventually, it will still destroy the world.»
"Headache."
Liu Jun sighed, thought for a moment, left the Immortal Path world, and returned to the Magic World.
...
Heaven, God’s residence.
In a flourishing flower garden.
God was among the floral blooms, various mana flowing.
Woosh——
The size of a grain of rice, chaos suddenly formed at God’s fingertips.
"In the Magic World, can chaos really be manually synthesized?"
At that instant, in the palace of the God of Magic, Bal suddenly sensed something, abruptly opening his eyes, "What happened? I feel... something familiar yet terrifying has descended!"
He sensed the strong arrangement of fate in the nether.
