Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Quickly, Surya was invited into the exquisite garden and took a seat.

Fortuna was planting nearby, looking somewhat leisurely and happy, glancing at Surya, "It's been quite a few years since we last met, Surya."

"Yes, it's been some years."

Surya looked at the garden in this brand new world, which was planted with various unknown new species, and sighed: "The Goddess of Destiny really has a good interest."

"Have a seat."

Liu Jun glanced at the very relaxed Surya, "The one with good interests these years should be you."

These years, while they were running around, Surya and his group were diving in the void, playing around.

They didn't even follow the main storyline of the seabed these past years.

Just when God circled around and returned to the surface of the void in the ocean, they inexplicably caught up with the main storyline and won effortlessly.

This made Liu Jun think, perhaps these two have discovered the true essence of slacking off? Enjoying the fruits of others' labor?

But he only sighed at it.

After all, with great power comes great responsibility, holding the mighty power of the gods, naturally, there's a need to do the work of the gods.

"Once everything is let go, you realize there's nothing worth competing for in this world."

Surya chuckled and poured a cup of floral tea from the table, drinking it heartily without the fear of poison, "Speaking of something interesting, can you guess whom I met in the void before coming here?"

"Who?"

"The just awakened, dazed Magaras."

Surya laughed and said, "This old friend, he's revived, turned into a mortal and narrated the story after Akusu and Xibo, the two deceivers, fled about how he was revived."

Then, Surya recounted the entire story of what happened underwater.

How the two deceivers perished together, yet at the last moments of their lives, they showed genuine emotions, vaguely considering each other as best friends.

"Those are two deceivers."

Surya smiled broadly, "They've faked their deaths before, tricking the Black God, and perhaps they're deceiving again this time, deceivers love to trick emotions the most."

Liu Jun pondered slightly, noting the location of that sea area, "True or false, one can simply go to the seabed and see if their Divine Object is still there after their death to determine."

"Once I successfully raise a new batch of fish, to leap over the Dragon Gate, cultivating Fortuna into another perfect Tier Eleven, I will dive into the marine abyss to take a look."

Liu Jun only cares about whether their Cause and Effect Divine Object remains at the seabed.

He couldn't care less about their life or death.

How many have retired among the gods throughout history?

If a Cause and Effect Divine Object is discovered, even if it's a fake death, it proves they want to abandon their Divine Position and retire, utterly losing heart from God's battle.

If no Divine Object is found, it means it's a fake death, intending to cause trouble, leaving no room to tolerate them.

In fact, this also aligns with Xibo's arrangements!

He calculated Akusu, leading to himself being trapped in the seabed, unable to escape, and guessed that God would enter the marine eye to verify his life or death, first needing to raise a fish that leaps over the Dragon Gate.

Once the fish birthed by God emerges, they will follow the Creator of the ocean and suddenly teleport out.

Just to brush past God, who intends to dive into the seabed.

In other words, for God to come in, he must first rescue the two of them!

This is precisely Xibo's ingeniously exceptional retreat route.

"So, what do you intend to do here?" God looked at Surya before him.

"I want to make a deal." Surya said with a smile.

"What kind of deal?"

Surya looked at the vast super universe and marvelled, "I feel God, with that battle against the guy, you've mapped out the future path. I'm willing to exchange all Divine Object upon myself."

Looking at God's surprised expression, Surya said, "I have no interest in Ascension to Divinity. It's quite good to cultivate as a mortal."

In Surya's view, mortals also have infinite possibilities.

Why strive to be a god?

As a mortal, not only carefree, but also still having the chance to rely on oneself to become a god.

God glanced at him, "Are you both at Tier Ten, planning to follow the mortal route, and also preparing to raise fish, leap over the Dragon Gate?"

"That's exactly my intention." Surya said, "As long as we cook up a platter of fish, it's possible to raise this super universe, but I want to know the path ahead."

God warned, "Fish aren't easy to raise, only the ones leaping over the Dragon Gate reach truly perfect Tier Eleven... This means raising a monster, then defeat it, and seize the source upon leaping over the Dragon Gate, & plunder the achievement!"

"Are you certain you two mortals can defeat the fish leaping over the Dragon Gate?"

Raising fish is essentially taking fish as food, slaughter them to seize their breakthrough source.

It's a mortal enemy relation.

Don't be fooled by how silly the anglerfish seem, actually, they fell for the Divine Object's initial deceit before being hunted.

If without Divine Objects added, the difficulty of defeating them with mortal strength alone... most likely too hard!

"This won't trouble you." Surya said, "There's difficulty, but it can also be a challenge."

After explaining the stakes, these people were still prepared to give it a try. God thought for a moment, "In that case, I can tell you."

"But this is just my speculation."

"Once you defeat the fish and devour its flesh, you will step into the perfect eleven-tier Great Perfection, no longer the false eleven-tier perfection of the ocean depths..."

"At this point, you can condense the Vortex Millstone, unifying all paths."

Surya heard this and pondered slightly.

Millstone?

Is it the disc that the Creator God condensed at the final moment?

It seems that this is the characteristic of the perfect eleven-tier realm.

No wonder the combat power skyrocketed.

However, after the battle, God also seemed to take out a terrifying Vortex Millstone.

It is unknown whether God took it out himself, or replicated it using his world-shocking wisdom to create a temporary millstone.

God continued, "The eleven-tier will establish a Vortex Millstone, absorbing countless Divine Objects."

"At this point, you enter a new form, transforming yourself into an Alchemy Furnace, throwing countless Divine Objects into the furnace to unify all paths."

"And the materials needed for this millstone require transforming vast numbers of Divine Objects from within the Super Universe into a wheel revolving like a Vortex Millstone, returning to oneself."

Surya was taken aback.

That many Divine Objects needed as material?

"Yes, therefore, in the Super Universe, we need to use fish meat as bait, to attract each teleporting fish here to explode, scattering countless Divine Objects, floating in this Cosmos."

"The various Divine Objects in this Super Universe are our Alchemy Furnace, entering one's body through the rotation of cosmic collapse, absorbing countless Divine Objects, resulting in a grand fusion."

Surya exclaimed in surprise, "Consuming the Divine Objects of the entire Cosmos would be deadly, wouldn't it?"

"A ten-percent chance of survival."

God described this method as mere speculation.

It requires attracting numerous teleporting Creators to die here in the Super Universe.

The essential cost is to collect all known series of Divine Objects!

Each series of Divine Objects' numeric code represents a slight deviation of the Law.

And to break through to the ultimate twelve-tier realm and progress to the truly omniscient and omnipotent path,

one must collect all the numeric codes of the Divine Objects, forming the Law of the "Universal," and then unite them through rotation.

In plainer words, it means gathering all the Divine Objects and accumulating them onto oneself.

Thus, there is a shortcut to this twelve-tier.

If lacking the codes, one can only take the foolish approach, allowing Creators to teleport here one by one, collecting all series of Divine Objects over endless ages.

But how long would that take?

Each fish's organs are composed of countless Divine Objects converged into cells.

Perhaps a common series 3 Divine Object has exploded countless times, lacing a multitude of parts.

Yet you are unable to lure out the series 888888 code as the final piece of the puzzle from any fish in this series.

This purely depends on luck, purely piling up time!

But now.

Clearly, God intends to take a shortcut.

Collect all numeric codes, artificially filter all artificial fish, leap over the Dragon Gate, and let them explode in this Super Universe.

The amount of work is immense.

Yet it is currently the best shortcut.

If there's no digital Divine Object series for numeric sorting, relying on blind selection in a sea trial, it might truly take forever.

"Turns out it indeed relates to numeric Divine Objects!"

Surya sighed lightly, "Perhaps some Old Gods from ancient times have waited for the numeric decoding of this entire series of Divine Objects."

"I wonder if once the numeric Divine Object map collection is complete, you could let me know? I only need the map, and we will handle the subsequent Super Universe fishing tasks ourselves."

Liu Jun glanced at Surya, "Naturally, this path is fraught with difficulty, only if you dare to risk breaking through."

"Challenges only arise from difficulties, after all, one cannot idly pass the long years of life, right? One must find something to do."

Surya smiled.

Thereafter, he sat in the garden, continuing to discuss this Super Universe realm with God, speculating about various futures.

He sat for a duration unexpectedly lasting a thousand years.

Moreover, since God was generous with his knowledge, he brought out his Heavenly Divine Object and Parallel Divine Object, discussing their applications and the depths of his understanding over the years.

Both were, in a sense, insightful research talents, greatly benefiting from this discussion.
