Starting with Growing Mushrooms-Chapter 359 - 278: God Is Dead, Journey to the World of Death
At the same time.
In the palace of the Goddess of Destiny, Fortuna sat elegantly on a bench with her legs crossed, looking at a disheveled woman in her hand.
"Ananke, you guessed right, I won’t kill you, not because you have a 100% destiny compatibility, twisting your personality will make you my most loyal subordinate."
"I don’t need an enemy who might awaken at any time as a subordinate, I want to torment you fiercely!"
Ananke was not truly dead, she was just hiding within a dead object.
Now that Fortuna had mastered three types of destiny, she could naturally manipulate Ananke.
"Because people who have been dead for too long cannot be resurrected, Moira has been killed by you, do you think you can simply die like that?"
Endless Death Destiny Divine Power swirled in her palm.
"Ananke, I want to twist your life, you will have various identities."
"In each identity, the first half of your life will be blissfully happy, but at the peak of happiness, you will meet the greatest misfortune, and die in despair in your old age."
"And you..."
"Will resurrect again, and in countless lifetimes of tragic deaths, you will never be able to reach the true death!"
"This is the destiny I have arranged for you!"
"You will endure the curse of destiny for eternity!"
Later generations recorded the mythological tale of "The Death of Ananke."
It is said that Ananke committed a crime and was punished with a life of ultimate happiness in the first half, and extreme misfortune in the latter half, forced to struggle endlessly against unending misfortune.
With the blessing of destiny, she will never be able to die!
After tormenting Ananke, Fortuna looked at the death world, shrouded as if in mist, "I dare not explore deeper, I don’t know when God will have time to accompany me to take a look..."
Destiny in death was too mysterious.
"Furthermore, my resurrection can only revive those lost in the world’s shallow layers, once the time is too long they will completely die, and that was how Moira died."
"What if the power of immortality was added?"
"Could it lock the state of dead beings, significantly extending the time for me to fetch people?"
"In this way, no more tragedies like Moira’s would occur."
"Even if long dead, I could retrieve them... even in the future, after establishing this order of death, I could bring back heroes long deceased."
She was eager in her heart to perfect the perfect world she had constructed.
Once the order of death in this Magic World was perfected.
Death would no longer be eternal slumber!
The true Netherworld might fully appear...
So for Fortuna, the Death World was a brand new barren land with unimaginable potential.
In another perspective.
"If we continue to develop the Death World this way, would the next Divine Trial... birth creatures of the ’Death’ series? Fully empowering the Death World with its own Death God?"
The more she thought, the more interesting it seemed.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a violent shift in the trajectory of destiny.
She saw endless destructive futures.
Ragnarok, the fall of the gods, and the silence of all things.
No matter the timeline, she saw a despair-inducing dark age, a transparent bubble of rolling foam, eroding the entire world, unifying all things...
"What is that thing? What is destroying our magic world?"
Fortuna felt the deepest fear within it, she continuously pursued the source, to no avail.
It seemed a force was blocking destiny’s detection at the source.
"Only destiny can resist destiny... does this mean this thing is related to God? Is it the source of destruction created by God?"
She did not know it was God experimenting, creating an indestructible grain-sized chaos, which eventually expanded, leading to the world’s destruction.
But in the next moment.
She was suddenly shocked to her feet,
"Wait, the future of destruction in the Magic World suddenly vanished? What did God do again?"
...
God’s actions were simple, merely taking the root cause of this destined destruction of the Magic World: Chaos, out of this world.
"Sure enough, chaos can also be created in the Magic World."
"But this grain-sized chaos cannot remain here, it has to be sent back to the adjacent Immortal Path World."
Anyway, one more flea doesn’t make an itch, a debt more doesn’t worry, the neighbor already had chaos, sending another piece over wouldn’t make much difference.
However, before that, Liu Jun had to conduct another test, he slowly looked up, gazing at the starry sky.
Clatter!
He suddenly took a step.
He walked into the boundless dark starry sky, looked down at the vast expanse of the star sea continent beneath his feet, and then looked up at the brilliant Milky Way overhead.
A piece of chaos was released just like that.
"Can it steadily exist here too?"
Liu Jun quietly looked at this world-destroying entity, "At this rate, even the real cosmos can diffuse, moving towards destruction."
Liu Jun pondered, if he left this piece of chaos here, in a few years, this cosmos would probably be eroded by chaos, turning into a true sea of chaos.
This is...
God unleashing a great flood.
Just like the great flood in the Immortal Path era, perhaps only a new spiritual world — Mushroom Soup World, would continue drifting above the chaos sea.
Of course, there might be some other civilizations barely struggling in the ocean, slowing their civilization’s demise.
This calamity of chaos could destroy the cosmos, reducing it to nothingness, turning it into a sea of chaos floating with myriad worlds.
Just thinking about it was explosive.
"This isn’t just God’s great flood, isn’t it a civilization of zeroing-down the descending world?"
Liu Jun smirked, feeling that the current Divine Objects were becoming more and more perverse.
"But saying is one thing, doing is another."
He reached out and placed this piece of chaos back into the Immortal Path World,
"Before I figure out how to control chaos, how is this any different from destroying the cosmos? Indeed, each successive divine catastrophe only gets stronger, the crises grow bigger."
Liu Jun’s heart was once again shrouded in a deep sense of crisis.
The appearance of each Divine Object meant opportunity and danger coexisted.
Chaos, this variable, if uncontrollable... would bring immense trouble!
On the other side.
Chaos, which Xu Changsheng had someone monitoring, brought news:
"Something’s wrong, Chaos has inexplicably increased by 20% in area, according to predictions, there’s only 40 years left before our world is destroyed."
Xu Changsheng was happily researching breakthroughs to the Sixth Tier, and upon hearing this, his mind went completely blank.
God, where have you gone for experimentation again?
After the experiment, why not take that new Chaos away, why increase our pressure here once again?
My pressure is immense!
"No, no, I must accelerate the research to the Sixth Tier!"
"If Chaos cannot be resolved, at least I can bring the spiritual world to hide in the star sea!"
Xu Changsheng felt an enormous pressure in his heart.
Since God appeared, it seems nothing good has happened. The great flood cleansing the worlds’ evildoers, destruction before creation, he can understand.
But the disaster of the great flood hasn’t been alleviated, God, you’ve accelerated a new calamity?
...
Liu Jun paid no attention to Xu Changsheng’s complaints.
Testing with Chaos is still necessary.
If you don’t create chaos in the neighboring Magic World, how do you know that even without the divine object’s blessing of Chaos here, one can still manually pinch out a particle of Chaos?
Facts have proven.
Chaos can bear seeds wherever it is.
Unaffected by the divine object of Chaos in the Immortal Path World.
After several tests, Liu Jun’s understanding of Chaos deepened, and he began pondering how to deal with it.
If the Immortal Path World doesn’t handle it, the future will be a blob of Chaos World, can this work?
His Mushroom Soup wasted a spot in the Mushroom Garden.
Additionally, it can’t be thrown into reality to plague the Cosmos, and he forcibly contained the disaster of Chaos within his Mushroom Soup.
Can only say, if I don’t enter Hell, who will?
He could only sacrifice the Immortal Path World to save the entire Cosmos.
At this moment, the Goddess of Destiny visited.
The bell at the door was rung, and after several small angels welcomed her inside.
Fortuna walked into the room, surveying the surroundings as if searching for traces of Chaos.
"What are you looking at?" God feigned ignorance.
After finding nothing, Fortuna said to God, "I’ve almost sorted out the new order of the entire world, when will we explore that Death World?"
She was afraid God would disagree, so she enumerated a series of benefits.
For example, inviting the Longevity Divine Spirit to pioneer this Death World, under the blessing of other divine spirits, prolonging the death time of the deceased, allowing her Resurrection Technique to undergo epic evolution.
For example, perhaps even brewing a Mushroom Soup series of Death.
"A Death God, hmm?" God pondered, suddenly finding it indeed feasible.
The Death Series is clearly not something that can be easily brewed!
Otherwise, with so many deaths throughout the ages, it would have appeared early on.
Thanks to the fate of death, barely involved in death, perhaps thus drawing out the gestation of a Death Divine Object.
Furthermore, Chaos is so terrifying... the Death World, might actually be a refuge?
Could we hide inside? Escape the unified Chaos catastrophe?
The more Liu Jun thought, the more he felt there was a chance.
"Fine, I’ll accompany you for a trip." God stood up, "But before that, we need to make some small preparations."
"What preparations?" the Goddess of Destiny asked.
"Go find a group of people who are about to die through destiny’s foresight." God said, "Gather these deceased together to accompany us into that Death World, they can just serve as the vanguard."
Liu Jun was no saint.
The dead are also useful.
Since they’re already dead, what does it matter to be the vanguard?
Maybe they could even obtain some opportunity and change their destiny.
"I understand." The Goddess of Destiny immediately went to prepare.
Half a day later, a thousand cultivators who were all about to die at the same moment were gathered together.
Meaning in the next second, they instantly died, accompanied in death by God and the Goddess of Destiny.
And with the fall of two ultimate gods, a super upheaval suddenly struck the Magic World.
Torrential rain poured from the sky, as if some supreme divine had just departed from this world, all beings instinctively mourned, feeling something was leaving them.
Destiny, lost control.
Mysteriousness, vanished.
"What happened?!"
Countless people shockedly perceived the world, sensing that the fate within them seemed to have lost its source, the mysterious power disappeared.
Destiny, dissipated.
God, is dead.
Two terrifying thoughts surfaced in everyone’s mind.
What kind of enemy did they encounter? What level of monster killed these two highest beings journeying through the current mythological epic era?
Was it the Longevity Divine Spirit, perhaps only that addicted ancient existence could instantly kill these two...
Wuwuwu!
Countless believers fell to their knees, crying uncontrollably.
With the fall of the mysterious God and the Goddess of Destiny, an unknown shadow loomed over everyone’s hearts.
At that moment, the God of Magic Bal finally walked out, "Everyone, for two ultimate divine spirits, death is not their end, but another new beginning."
"God and the Goddess of Destiny have merely embarked on an unknown journey."
"They will eventually return, resurrect in the cemetery of death, re-open their eyes on the land of living."
"And during the time of their departure, all we need is to wait devoutly."
Before God and the Goddess of Destiny died, they left behind sufficient mystery to use for a period on this land, enough to keep this world operating.
