Starting with Growing Mushrooms

A month has passed.

The greening of the entire cosmos is still ongoing.

Most areas have been completely perfected, with only some details needing embellishment.

For instance, mines, rivers, and underground dark rivers.

But these details are no longer important and will continue to be perfected over time.

"Thank the Divine Spirit!"

In the sacred and majestic hall, the followers of God and the Goddess of Destiny have already begun their daily prayers.

Their capacity for acceptance is very high.

There are even some fanatics who pray for three hours every morning upon waking and another three hours before sleeping.

As for why they do not engage in production or work?

They, being Sixth Tier powerhouses, naturally do not need to work.

Now that God has freely transformed the environment, everywhere is filled with fruit and vegetables, and various cattle and sheep roam the grasslands.

There are even periodic magical emissaries, who descend from the sky with Goliath-era magical cuisine, causing birds flying past to spontaneously combust and fall as countless roasted chickens from the sky.

"God has already prepared food for us."

"We do not need to work, for God has worked for us; we only need to pray."

"Thank God."

On the earth, all beings in this cosmos have entered the right track.

Liu Jun walks contentedly on this land.

Every place he passes chants his name, and everywhere he goes is his domain.

"Not bad, the greening of the environment is quite well done."

Liu Jun walks contentedly on this lush green land; the desert has completely disappeared.

"It’s a pity, this cosmos is too vast; even with my current Seventh Tier speed, it’s difficult to traverse even a billionth of the land."

Indeed.

Liu Jun can construct a cosmos, yet, being a Seventh Tier, he is too weak to traverse the cosmos.

This is not contradictory.

As a Seventh Tier, he is weak, but as a god, he is powerful.

It’s like an ant moving the lever of the cosmos.

He may have no ability to control the vast, boundless cosmos, but through transmission, he set "rules" for the cosmos.

As long as it’s transmitted, it’s enough.

To put it simply, he’s like a botanist who developed a new crop that spreads rapidly, covering the world.

Can you say that this weak botanist is very strong?

He could probably be beaten by a street thug.

And Liu Jun, as a botanist, just spread his "Mushroom" virus throughout this cosmos.

"Powerful, yet weak."

Liu Jun evaluates himself precisely.

The basic stats are fundamentally too low.

On a numerical level, at least an Eighth Tier...

Fortunately, he has someone doing experiments to enhance the Eighth Tier Divine Format.

Liu Jun recalls, before leaving home, that rambling Munis inside the glass bottle,

"This guy has fallen, spending every day researching how to enhance equipment..."

Full of determination, he believes next time will surely succeed.

Then he even learned mysticism, started burning incense, worshipping, and before enhancing, he would offer prayers to the Goddess of Destiny, seeking her blessing.

In a moment, from a very scientific leader of civilization, he turned into a superstitious theologian.

Feels like the person is wasted!

Liu Jun walked around, traversing various regions of this cosmos.

"Speaking of which, the cosmos is also very peculiar; here, there are no more galaxies, only a vast land."

"It seems that at the beginning, there were countless celestial bodies that sank into the earth, turning into ruins, which is the process of the Zeroth Universe, the reality world we were in before."

"Now, the ruins of celestial bodies have turned into deserts, which is the process of the First Universe at present."

"And the Second Universe seems to be, the desert turning into the ocean."

Liu Jun feels there’s a profound meaning in this process of cosmic evolution.

It’s like the most primitive life on a planet.

The first stage, large rocky celestial fragments all over the place.

The second stage, ground into desert dust by the mill of nebulas.

The third stage, the desert turns into oceans, beginning to nurture life...

The twelve trials of the universe might just be the transformation of the ecological environment each time.

"Is it as I think? In time, I’ll just have to see for myself."

"But before that, I need to return to the World of Gods once."

After all, it’s been quite a while since he left.

He set out to explore the cosmos outside.

Now, things have basically settled.

He can have the internal gods manage the cosmos outside...

Formally take the position and start work.

Though many of their divine formats were taken, they still need to manage many things.

Only this way can they turn the First Trial Universe into a base before advancing to more distant universes...

"Busy indeed."

He sighed lightly; Liu Jun had already concealed his form using Concealment, quietly crossing countless areas of galaxy-like vast forests.

Rustle!

From a distance, he saw the place for the World of Gods floating in the cosmos—the Mushroom Soup.

This large pot of soup floats slowly, with an indescribable eerie feel.

Buzz!

He tore through the Mushroom Soup and stepped in.

Returning once again to the World of Gods.

By this time, Xu Changsheng and others had also received the message and quickly arrived.

"Everyone, the outside has been fully explored."

In Heaven, God looked at the gods of both the East and West, briefly narrating the events of recent years.

Their expressions varied after hearing this.

God looked at Pure Yang Immortal Venerable Xu Changsheng, "I need Star Rushing Lightning, and your piggy bank, to do some things."

"I understand."

Xu Changsheng nodded, "I will spread my faith. As long as one recites my name, it will be seen as an infringement against me and will suffer my time attack and acceleration."

He wants to accelerate the ecological civilization of this universe through the spread of the Demon King.

Only in this way can a large number of Divine Formats be generated in a short time.

Only with more Divine Formats, with more strengthened individuals, can there be enough data.

By expending the power of the entire universe’s beings together, this Divine Format system can be perfected.

After all, God is just High Wisdom, and cannot create something from nothing... He needs vast ecological data to use his wisdom for summarizing.

"Then you all should prepare."

"Next, the entrance to this abode of the gods will open, allowing you to connect with the outside world."

"But do not go out thoughtlessly, once you leave, you might suffer attacks from Magaras in the dark."

As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately started a meeting to discuss their future actions.

Less than ten days later.

They began accelerating the entire cosmos.

On the ground, new faiths also began to spread.

"God of Time?"

"God of the Immortal Path?"

"God of Space?"

The gods descended one after another, with many gods and their deeds being known and rapidly spreading in this universe.

An unprecedented storm had begun.

In countless kingdoms and city-states, all new stories that broke out due to the belief in gods continued to unfold.

This day was called the first year of the New God Covenant, the time had come to the God Era.

The era of God’s dominion had thoroughly returned.

God Year 13.

Various sects sprang up like mushrooms after the rain.

Even the lofty gods could not fully control this universe.

The gods were still too weak, and without the intelligence of the God of Transmission, their sight could only focus on the area of one trillionth of a galactic cluster.

Their power spread out...

But their perspective remained very narrow.

Almost all beings believed in gods, yet none had truly seen a god.

Gods were infinitely mysterious.

God Year 25.

The first batch of devout believers gained the privilege to purchase the Divine Grace Scroll.

Thus, boundaries began to be broken.

A brand new hierarchy and combat power system began to be divided in various Star Domains.

People discovered that the strength of a realm was divided according to the belief in gods.

The more devout the belief, the more Grace Scrolls you receive, the higher your realm.

People also redistributed and redivided the ten realms.

Each god had ten grades of servants.

For example, in God’s sect.

The ten layers were respectively:

First Tier Non-believer, Second Tier Shallow Believer, Third Tier Monk.

Fourth Tier Priest, Fifth Tier High Priest, Sixth Tier Bishop.

Seventh Tier Archbishop, Eighth Tier Pope, Ninth Tier Angel, Tenth Layer Angel Leader.

A new era thus erupted.

A person’s strength was largely evaluated according to the strength of faith.

Thus, with the deep binding between gods and earthly mortals, an unprecedented Eighth Tier Divine Format era was also born.

God Year 35.

Having broken thirty-seven times during enhancement, Munis finally broke through to the Eighth Tier, Eighth Layer Pope level.

Became the first on earth.

For a while, the whole nation celebrated.

God Year 38.

The servant of the Goddess of Destiny also rose suddenly, with the strongest also closely following, reaching the Eighth Tier, Seventh Layer Fate Archbishop standard.

In an instant, the strong converged.

God Year 47.

Civilization suddenly stagnated.

Numerous efforts spent by local Church Court Countries, using the power of the entire nation to strike, yet all enhancements failed.

No one could reach the Eighth Tier, Ninth Layer Divine Format, stepping into the Angel hierarchy.

"Damn it, the Ninth Layer Angel... can enter Heaven to serve God."

"Why can’t we succeed!"

"Could it be, the Pope is the limit of us mortals?"

The ground was full of wails.

Everyone fell into a bottleneck, their enthusiasm doused by buckets of cold water.

Every higher level of enhancement required greater costs.

Every failure was a huge blow.

They found it hard to bear these failures.

In the new world, in Heaven, seeing this scene, Liu Jun frowned slightly, "Can’t succeed? Stuck in a bottleneck."

It seems that the Eighth Tier Divine Format system that I created, although convenient, has considerable side effects and flaws.

After all, it’s not surprising.

As long as you enhance, you become stronger.

This free-ride power, without some cost, wouldn’t make sense.

Liu Jun pondered, "Forget it, let’s simply open the next level’s channel, go to the upper layer to copy some experience, and see if there is anything that can be borrowed."

He planned to start an official expedition to see what kind of bizarre situation the Second Layer Universe was.

And see what happened to the Eagle that was stolen back then, thrown into the Chaos, and what that world’s state became.
