Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Harris still harbored a grudge, how could he possibly speak?

If he had been defeated fair and square, he would have spoken.

But now, he was knocked down to a mortal rank and then surrounded by a bunch of mortals?

This was too underhanded!

The battle suffocated him to death.

"I’ve already discovered that your powers aren’t invincible."

Harris murmured, replaying the recent battle in his mind,

"Every kind of power can be dodged."

"For example, the Divine Object you threw at me, as long as I’m fast enough, I can dodge it!"

"This stealing power is terrifying, but if it can’t steal... it’s useless!"

He secretly regretted it.

It was primarily because he didn’t know the mechanisms of the theft, that he suffered such a loss.

And as for the third Celestial Will Race member Chang Qintian, if he had learned how to use the Erosion Divine Power to instantly eliminate the "Wisdom Virus" entering his body, how could it have led to the rebellion of the entire hand?

Ultimately.

He had never encountered such a thing before and did not know how to deal with it.

Previously, in this world, no "virus" could stand against a strong person of this level.

Once everyone was unguarded against the virus entering the body, it succeeded.

After the replay, Harris, with a countermeasure, grew increasingly regretful.

He felt he could have won that battle!

"Try again, dare you to try again!" His expression grew more ferocious, much like a chess player who lost and insisted on another game.

God ignored him, summoning the Goddess of Destiny, "Give him a [Change] of fate..."

Woosh!

Fortuna appeared in the Death World, glanced at Harris, "Heh, this guy took on our entire Mortal Kingdom alone, causing immeasurable damage."

"He even summoned the ancient being above, almost causing a major disaster..."

"Creating all sorts of chaos, I hope what’s in your head can compensate for the loss."

Clearly, Fortuna harbored great malice towards Harris.

After all, her fate among the gods was incredibly unique.

By giving every mortal the Destiny Divine Power, she controlled the fate of all mortals.

She managed the most mortals and was the most emotionally connected, wanting everyone to be happy knowing their fate.

But now...

This outsider shattered the perfect, happy fate trajectory she had set.

"Start the task." God said to Fortuna.

In truth, Liu Jun knew that regardless of how great the losses were this time, as long as Harris was defeated, it was all worth it.

Not to mention,

The characteristic of the Celestial Will Race he stole alone gave Liu Jun a different experience.

Yes.

This characteristic of the super-Celestial Will Race in the macro-Cosmos, compared to the small-scale Celestial Will characteristic nurtured by his Mushroom Soup, had significant differences!

Both characteristics of Celestial Will possessed the potential to master Multi-Divine Power.

But the other was clearly more complete and stronger!

This made Liu Jun speculate,

"If Celestial Will is compared to the ruler of a birthed realm, then the Celestial Will Races I attacked before were village chiefs, while this one is an Emperor."

The scope of management authority was vastly different.

How can a village chief’s authority compare to a king’s?

Rarity is valuable.

The large-scale Celestial Will characteristics here were extremely rare!

Although after killing Harris, a new Celestial Will Race would eventually be born in this world...

But the birth cycle was long.

This meant, the characteristic of this macro-Cosmos Celestial Will was destined to be scarce!

"The Celestial Will of the First Desert Universe has always been imprisoned and sealed by them."

"I might as well break the seal, kill that Desert Celestial Will, seize its characteristic, and wait for the new Desert Celestial Will to resurrect..."

Amidst Liu Jun’s turbulent thoughts, Fortuna completed her task, twisting Harris’s fate to become a loyal hound of destiny.

"Go ahead and speak."

Fortuna checked the time, "You have a hundred seconds."

Neither Fortuna nor God intended to resurrect the now-dead Harris.

Because he was too strong!

Too unstable!

A [Change] in fate could be broken, restoring his former personality.

So.

If he stayed nearby, who knew when he’d break free of fate? Even those opponents might secretly help Harris break free.

Hence, Harris was an unseen threat not fit to keep close.

As for completely altering his memory?

Sorry.

When a strong person reaches this level, the soul and will are completely integrated.

Forcibly editing his soul and will is equivalent to altering the essence of his life, which would only cause him to lose all his cultivation or even lead to death.

Only the Destiny Divine Power of [Change] can alter a person’s fate.

But you must also be wary of him breaking free from destiny.

"First, talk about your relationship with the ones above," Fortuna asked directly.

Harris was silent for a moment and then said:

"We are in a state of stalemate here, except for the frontline trials. Our few trials below have been going on for many years, and everyone is weary of war."

He indicated that the real battle is at the very front.

The lower areas, like theirs, which have been cleared, are no longer watched by the true powerhouses.

"Moreover, I dare not take it too far. If no civilizations ascend... without fresh blood, the beings at the top would become furious, pay a great price, forcibly open doors, and attack the Celestial Will Race of the lower worlds."

"So over the years, I’ve been turning a blind eye and a deaf ear."

Harris expressed that he too dared not overstep.

"Where has the topmost strategy group reached?" Fortuna asked again.

"I don’t know," Harris shook his head, "Information from above rarely trickles down, and there is a unique confidentiality to it. They absolutely have incredibly terrifying secrets."

Fortuna was somewhat speechless.

This was like saying nothing at all.

Harris said, "Our Celestial Will Race is not united either. The topmost ones are so strong that they crush the frontline human civilizations."

"They not only disdain those ascended civilizations but also look down on us, the lower defeated Celestials."

The Celestial Will Race is also wary of each other, which is actually relatively normal.

If they knew, the Celestial Will Race within the World of Gods kills each other even more fiercely. The Celestial Wills in parallel worlds all meet untimely deaths...

Harris might even be thankful he was born here.

"Then, tell me about your method of cultivation," Fortuna quickly asked the most crucial question.

Harris, being Eighth Tier, was somewhat overly powerful.

He could singlehandedly defeat elite soldiers, each enhanced by hundreds of times.

"Strictly speaking, I am not an Eighth Tier in the normal sense."

Harris said, "They call the Eighth Tier the Star Realm, but I belong to the Tao Spirit Realm."

"Tao Spirit Realm?" God slightly frowned, "Ninth Tier?"

"No, it’s a special stage, but it’s still Eighth Tier."

Harris said, "The so-called Tao Spirit Realm is about fusing a large number of locks into a Tao Spirit!"

"Any type of lock?" Fortuna asked.

"Yes, the more, the stronger."

"But the more locks, the messier they become, and they might not perfectly integrate... If you lack the capability, it’s just a pile of loose sand."

"So, the Tao Spirit Realm is classified by the number of fused locks."

"I’ve fused over three hundred locks, and the Tao Spirit I created is my limit."

"I’ve tried fusing more locks, but it couldn’t be done and disrupted the balance instead."

He continued to explain.

Liu Jun suddenly understood.

The more locks, the stronger the Tao Spirit becomes!

But since they don’t have such incredible talent, they haven’t cultivated many themselves, and can only plunder locks from other strong beings after breaking through to the Eighth Tier.

And then rely on dummy figures!

"Do you know how to break through to the Ninth Tier?" Liu Jun couldn’t help but ask.

Since the Eighth Tier here is already quite mature.

It is possible that the Ninth Tier is also within their continuous exploration.

"I don’t know."

Harris could not help but say, "But I suspect we may never break through to the Ninth Tier in our lifetime."

"We are stitched-together Tao Spirits, not self-forged."

"We probably need a completely self-formed lock gathered into a Tao Spirit to break through to that unbelievable stage."

"I believe that in the entire cosmos of twelve trials, even the forefront batch doesn’t have anyone who could form a complete Tao Spirit to break through to the legendary Ninth Tier."

This is his conjecture, but he believes it is highly likely.

In other words.

From the Boss of the second trial to the current frontline Boss, they are all in the same Tao Spirit Realm stage.

Harris sighed, "So, I’ve plundered over three hundred locks from others to forge my Tao Spirit, but I fear this will be my limit in this lifetime."

"However, with the arrival of that Chaotic Sun, I conceived new ideas above."

"According to the characteristics of the Chaotic Sun, I researched and created a second Tao Spirit, that anglerfish."

"I believe it has unlimited potential, so I followed the Chaotic Sun here to seek out its origin civilization."

"And ended up being captured by you."

Over these years, he has been attempting to advance Tao Spirit cultivation.

Therefore, with his deliberate assistance, those civilizations ready to overthrow Harris could flourish!

He was waiting for these ’crops’, to cultivate new locks and see if they could be integrated into his existing Tao Spirit.

After all, his Tao Spirit is already mature, and not just any lock can merge into it.

The required locks are very demanding.
