Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 119: Reactions from All Sides


On the other side.

Xu Changsheng remained silent after receiving the news.

Is everything I've been through just a fabrication of the parallel world next door?

"What do you think?" Xu Changsheng looked at Insect Thirteen beside him.

"Why assume it's false?"

Insect Thirteen said, "Didn't you find the evidence you left in the past? That seed of the Ancient Tree of Life, why deny everything you've experienced."

Xu Changsheng frowned slightly, "Indeed, if it's just the history of a parallel world, then where did the seed come from? Isn't this a way to prove the past's existence?"

Insect Thirteen was very rational: "Our world's history is real, and the history of the world next door is real too, because that Jurassic God Myth Era is reenacting our true past!"

Xu Changsheng's mind shook.

Indeed.

Why deny that piece of history?

Since it's a parallel time and space, what's happening there is the mythological past we experienced millions of years ago.

Millions of years ago, we also had the Xiangtuo Myth, and the God Myth...

I was indeed born in the Jurassic Period, leaving behind various seeds, treasures in history.

The other party is unveiling the past, awakening memories of my past in this way!

Insect Thirteen continued to analyze: "And the Longevity Divine Spirit, to change the historical trajectory of that world, sent you back to the Jurassic, possessing another version of you in a parallel time and space."

Xu Changsheng listened in silence.

So the actual intention is to show us the past of history?

Why?

A thought erupted in his mind.

The Divine Word: Time is short.

That means the Divine Trial of our era is approaching.

Xu Changsheng had started to wildly speculate.

"Letting us see the mythological history of another time and space is to prepare us, so we're not unaware of the Divine Trial and suffer an initial kill, a team wipe?"

The initial kill is terrifying.

Without preparation for the descent of a divine disaster, a team wipe is very normal.

Especially in this deformed era, with severe internal strife, it's a loose-knit group.

"I'm afraid the Divine Trial we're about to face is not simple!"

The smarter a person is, the more cautious they are, and the more they tend to overthink.

Especially for a runaway protagonist like Xu Changsheng in the path of immortality, skepticism reigns supreme.

A new era's speculative monster has grandly arrived.

...

"Teacher Zhang Baixin has come back to life."

An hour later, the news spread online by interested parties.

Countless people became excited.

Because this elderly man held a highly revered reputation among the people, as a famous philanthropist.

Moreover, he was quite the topic, constantly promoting his kindness for everyone to know.

Over the past century, he appeared as a randomly refreshed encounter NPC in various cities.

Many have benefited from him,

The number of gifted students he supported, according to statistics, is as many as a million.

He truly used most of the company's profits to earn a good reputation.

"Our teacher was taken away, taken to the Celestial Kingdom, may you have a good journey!"

"This world originally had no Celestial Kingdom, so this Divine Spirit personally came to see the teacher off to meet God!"

The first to speak were some of Zhang Baixin's disciples, who voiced their sentiments on various media platforms.

Zhang Baixin treated them like family, watching the elder grow older day by day.

Especially in recent years, as the old man lay bedridden, unable to move, he would still go to work daily in his books.

Many students visited the hospital daily, feeling sorrow in their hearts.

All hoped their teacher would have a good outcome.

Because so many visited this internet celebrity philanthropist, the hospital where he resided gradually became an internet celebrity hospital, attracting various sponsored students and media for promotion every day.

This turned Zhang Baixin's small hospital into a high-traffic, renowned hospital.

It is worth mentioning:

This hospital was entirely funded by Zhang Baixin, and this wave earned him more charitable funds.

And during the last three days of Zhang Baixin's life, he took a stimulant shot to barely stand up, going to Rehe City First High School's examination site for his last act of charity.

Then, he went to the Cangwu Tree, taking one last desperate gamble, which surprisingly bore fruit.

Now that the teacher has come back to life, it made them extremely excited all of a sudden.

At this moment.

His disciples also inherited the spirit of promoting good deeds: good deeds should be made known.

Frantically publicizing:

"In this world, there was no God, the Longevity Divine Spirit came, and sent the teacher to meet God!"

"Our teacher was virtuous, starting as a poor student with nothing, and leaving without any assets. The Divine Word says, come naked, leave naked!"

"Boo hoo hoo, everyone! Teacher should be on the top ten philanthropists' list this year. Please cast your valuable vote for the teacher this August, so he can travel peacefully on the Celestial Kingdom's path!"

"Please vote for the teacher!"

"Your support is our motivation!"

...

On the other side.

The Zhang Family, managing the Cyan Lamp Lottery, was incredibly excited.

"A miracle!"

"We have witnessed a miracle!"

The next heir of the Zhang Family was already a middle-aged man, trembling with excitement, prostrated on the ground, and cried out loudly:

"Good! Good! Good deeds have good rewards. My father spent his life accumulating virtue and doing good, and finally, he is rewarded!"

Beside him, the secretary said, "President, according to the plan, should we still initiate the fee plan later? Selling a lottery ticket for three hundred Thought Blades?"

Bang!

The Patriarch of the Zhang Family leaped up and kicked the secretary away:

"How dare you! To insult my character, of course, I will follow my father's will and continue to be a great philanthropist. We are a family of good people!"

"Yes, yes!" The secretary spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and stood up, trembling.

"Forget those words from before. We will act according to my father's will. We will continue to subsidize them ten thousand for every ticket sold."

The Patriarch of the Zhang Family showed a sad expression:

"I do not have my father's research talent and level. I cannot develop new lottery tickets, so after my father's passing, I couldn't withstand the pressure from other board members and had to start transitioning into a normal profitable enterprise."

"Being a good person is not easy."

If I had a choice, I want to be a good person. The choice is now before me, and I'd like to see who dares to stop me from being a good person!

He was full of vigor, exuding an aura of strong dominance.

The Zhang Family disciples present, all of whom were Confucian scholars, trembled with excitement.

We are going to be prosperous!

Their kind Patriarch, whom these clansmen once wanted to curse for spending all the family fortune just for a reputation, is being such a good person that easy?

Now, he truly received an extraordinary reward.

Those guys were waiting for their pillar to fall before, ready to carve up the spoils.

Now that they've received a blessing from the Divine Spirit, let's see who still dares to attack them?

...

Various large and small companies cooperating with Cyan Lamp Welfare Lottery also confirmed the news immediately.

"What? That old geezer prayed to the Cangwu Tree and was really summoned by that being?"

"Sent off to... the God Era?"

"Damn, how can we still acquire the Cyan Lamp Welfare Lottery's laboratories and various data, and contribute greatly to the breeding of human infants!"

The secretary said, "Then sir, should we still join hands to take action against Cyan Lamp Enterprise?"

"Get lost!"

The next moment, the secretary was suddenly kicked out.

"We are a Confucian family. Don't mention things that disrupt harmony again!"

These powerholders, many of whom were from the same era as Zhang Baixin, were also nearing the end of their lives, and now their hearts were stirred with turbulent waves, filled with envy and jealousy.

So much so that they no longer even wanted to annex the other party's company, shifting their focus onto extending their own lives,

"I don't know if we can do it? That old guy paved the way for us."

"Probably not, he won't see us. That old guy spent his lifetime doing good deeds."

"Him? A good person? He even marketed the hospitals for the sick."

"Didn't the money his hospitals made go on to save more people? His cunning doesn't interfere with his good deeds. Judge actions, not the heart. No one has a perfect heart, be it vanity or a desire to leave a historical mark, he has spent his life exhausting his family's wealth."

"It's all our fault, we're not good enough!"

They sighed deeply, filled with regret.

For the first time, the heads of these large companies wavered on the matter of good and evil.

They too were once brave and passionate scholars, having their edges worn down by time; they too had their youthful hero dreams!

Blame the darkness of the world.

It had long formed a chain of suspicion, where any somewhat kind scholar could readily be thinned and consumed during their ascent.

But now.

That damned old man Zhang Baixin was able to go to that brave and passionate mythical era and become who he wanted to be...

Many elders felt dry-hearted, and an uncontrollable thought emerged within them:

"Even starting to do good now, perhaps it's not too late."

...

News spread wildly on the internet.

Causing a massive stir, as this nearly confirmed the existence of the God Era.

Furthermore.

The internet has no shortage of analytical experts.

They also analyzed the three similar possibilities, and proposed the [Century Soup] theory.

"Hahaha, ingredients, we are all ingredients!"

"With the heavens and earth as the pot, all living things as the ingredients, simmering the Law of Heaven and Earth, nurturing all directions of the universe!"

Countless people were immersed in the endless shock and fear of this soup theory.

This was a tremor from deep within the soul, uncontrollable, as if all dreams and lives had no meaning under the soup of this supreme existence.

Of course, some people said:

"What are you afraid of? Isn't this a fact that should've existed long ago?"

"From human evolutionary history, we can see that the world itself is a huge food chain."

"Antelope eats grass, tigers eat sheep, humans hunt tigers, life is just a long food chain... and now, our human civilization has merely discovered a higher level of the food chain."

"The other party is just another link in the food chain, treating us as ingredients."

This food chain theory sparked quite a stir.

Many people thought it made sense; there was no need to despair, it was essentially just a food chain.

If you don't want to be eaten, go be the top creature of the food chain.
