Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Suddenly, the God of Merchants, who appeared kind-hearted and amiable, trembled all over, revealing his true divine form.

The Four Divine Objects merge into one.

The God of Theft form activated.

In just an instant, all the scientists felt as though an indescribable god, almost a cosmic concept, suddenly revealed his majestic true form.

Under the radiance of this god’s brilliance, everyone present seemed to enter a mysterious and profound space.

Their bodies seemed to be sliced into countless pieces of conceptual power.

Various disciplines of knowledge, memories, dreams, talents... all kinds of colorful things floated above their heads.

Their secrets were completely exposed at this moment.

"Let me see, what is your most precious treasure."

The God of Merchants lightly grasped, and the most important thing from the other side flew over.

It was a bundle of memories.

Memories of his wife and children.

"Very well, your treasure is now mine." The God of Merchants grabbed this bundle of memories and placed it in his pawnshop, hanging it on the counter.

"No! No, that isn’t my most precious thing!"

The kobold scientist suddenly shouted in an uncontrollable fit of emotions, "Give it back to me! My most precious thing is the outrageously valuable potion in my hand!"

But Liu Jun placed that precious piece of memory on a shelf, showing a look of interest: "A very interesting technology, memory is not just memory, but a world of memory..."

"Your wife and children actually live within your memory?"

"Give it back!" The kobold scientist suddenly lunged, rushing toward the God of Merchants.

He had completely lost control.

That was the Memory Home technology he had painstakingly researched.

To store his family members who were nearing death within his memory.

His wife and kids were taken as treasures by the others...

"The Red River Water, it can be considered the supreme treasure worth an entire star cluster civilization... this is indeed my most precious treasure!"

After failing to grab it, he suddenly thought of something, carefully approaching the most important safe, entering the password, and taking out a reagent, the crystalline red liquid inside exuding a tempting glow,

"Take it, this is truly my most important treasure!"

"My family is of no value at all."

After saying this, the kobold scientist carefully handed over the potion worth a star cluster.

The scientists beside him suddenly shouted:

"Xixia, you’ve gone mad."

"This isn’t just yours alone."

"This is the treasure of the entire city."

"If the Red River Water is lost, we can’t afford the cost!"

However, the mesmerized kobold scientist ignored their cries, carefully handing it over.

The God of Merchants paid no attention to the withered kobold,

"The most precious thing isn’t what you describe, but what you think in your heart."

"Therefore, I took away your memory."

Liu Jun did not take the reagent, no matter how truly precious it was.

After all, unlike God, the God of Longevity, and other entities.

The God of Merchants must follow the most important rules.

Only a qualified, rule-abiding trading circle can perfectly exert his Divine Authority.

He needs to establish order among merchants, punish those who break the rules, as a warning to others, which is very important.

Moreover.

As a god, a clear character setting must also be established.

Taking away the most important thing from those who break the rules is what causes them the most pain and fear.

The God of Merchants’ eyes turned to the remaining scientists, looking at the equipment floating above their heads,

"Wealth, knowledge, talent..."

With a swish.

With a wave of his hand, countless pieces of equipment flew into his hand.

In his God of Theft form, he doesn’t need to exchange "low divine objects" to steal.

His theft now has no side effects.

"No!"

With cries of anguish, some lost their scientific knowledge, their talents, their dreams...

For geniuses at their level, they are bound to be extreme, with strong beliefs, relying on some kind of object.

Therefore, unlike aimless ordinary people, they undoubtedly have the most precious things or dreams.

After placing these spoils one by one into his treasure vault, Liu Jun watched their tearful collapse, kneeling in despair...

Suddenly, an impossible pleasure surged in his heart!

Satisfying.

Truly satisfying.

I love seeing you in a state of breakdown and distress...

Seeing their most precious treasure being stolen and their expressions of collapse... this thief feels the greatest significance of theft lies in this.

Liu Jun sighed slightly in his heart:

"In the theft god form, enjoying stealing others’ most treasured things and feeling joyful, hiding in the door crevice, watching the collapse and despair of the owner..."

"This kind of wretch will probably get themselves beaten to death!"

"It turns out the most hated isn’t the parallel yellow-haired god, but me... this God of Theft."

In this form, Liu Jun set this punishment.

Refusing to take the most precious Red River Water potion, deliberately taking their most devastating things instead...

It seems.

This series of true god forms has slightly more side effects than anticipated.

But, it is about the same as the side effects of the God form, arrogance, evenly matched.

Not a serious problem.

Compared to the [Concealment], [Destiny] true god forms, this divine transformation’s side effects are already among the smallest.

"No! We are willing to buy it back! As long as it’s the God of Merchants, you will accept a transaction, right?"

These scientists suddenly thought of something,

"Yes, we have already completed our redemption, let’s buy back the lost treasures."

"I’m willing to give my most precious thing!"

These scientists seemed like fawning flatterers.

"So pathetic." Liu Jun looked at the breakdown of these people, suddenly increasingly understanding the horror of the God of Theft.

The most terrifying thing about the God of Theft is stealing your heart, your treasures, the precious things you cherish... even if they are conceptual.

And these guys, losing their beliefs, instead will desperately flatter, grovel, and beg the God of Theft to redeem their treasures.

The expressions of collapse and despair, that’s exactly what the God of Theft wants to see.

He takes pleasure in manipulating human hearts.

Thinking about this, Liu Jun even felt that the God of Theft he chose should not be called the God of Theft, but the God of Meanness, truly despicable.

Just as these people were kneeling and begging for mercy, a voice suddenly came from the sky.

"Are you, a god?"

Outside the door, was a creature covered in green seaweed-like growth, its face obscured in darkness, leaving only two green glowing eyeballs.

It was Prince Guguang, the ultimate ace of this vast region.

His gaze carried a chill, "You disturbed me, you know?"

"I was executing a mission as an excuse, taking the opportunity to hide and laze in the Bia Cosmos Sea, being a lone seaweed, swaying with the sea water every day..."

"I lazed for 154 years, it was a rare holiday of slacking off."

"You know how terrifying the anger is when you’re a seagrass disturbed by someone?"

God of Merchants: "You sure talk a lot."

"When being a lonely seagrass, you can’t talk, so I take the opportunity to say more when I’m not."

His voice was filled with coldness and cruelty, "I was originally waiting for the hook to catch Ma, but since you threw yourself into the net first, don’t blame me for taking care of you then."

He stepped forward, full of confidence, the pressure from his body becoming increasingly intense.

"You look like someone who cultivates the Path of Shackles, you simply don’t know the vast difference between this crippled realm and the truly stable and steadfast existence cultivated with hard work step by step."

He let out a low chuckle, his eyes filled with a look of greed.

Gaining the power of god, he might even have the potential to betray the three great leaders.

This was absolutely an immense opportunity.

"Under the scourge, any divine power becomes useless."

"Since you’re here, don’t imagine leaving alive, I see no possibility of you escaping this place."
