Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 147: Punishment Leaving the Moon


Heaven.

The halls were resplendent with gold and jade.

The towering columns were adorned with intricate carvings of adorable little Angels.

On both sides, various golden frescoes of God were painted, telling the mythological journey of God's arrival in this world.

"Please, merciful God, spare us."

At this moment, listening to God's words, these Demon Lords were left with only a shadowed soul... demons, shivering and speechless.

They did not know that God had agreed to Goliath's request.

These Demon Lords simply believed that God did not kill them and brought them back as a punishment, refusing to let them die so easily.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

"God, we dare not again!"

"This is not our will, it was the demonic spirit that endowed us with demonic nature, turning us into this."

"Yes! We are guilty, but the root of the sin lies in the Shadow Divine Object, we were good at the start."

Some recounted history, some clung to friendships, some knelt down to beg for mercy, some shouted angrily.

The strong desire to survive was vividly exhibited on the demons.

Demons are indeed interesting and tenacious beings.

Lilith dared not be reckless anymore, bowing her head and saying, "Merciful God, please forgive us our sins."

"I am transmission, transmission is neither good nor evil! It's neutral!"

"It was the first Demon King who schemed against me, causing me to become like this... At first, I longed for you, now I have improved, and I'm willing to follow you, spreading the mysterious for you."

God remained silent, merely observing them quietly.

Crash—

The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

Silent, needle-drop could be heard.

Just as Lilith was feeling dry-throated, sensing she was about to fall into death, God suddenly spoke.

"Death is just a moment, a simple and easy matter."

"Lilith, from today onwards, you will face your lifelong sins and punishments, enduring endless pain at every moment."

"You will be sealed within the moon, as a medium of transmission shining upon the human world and then into the Celestial Kingdom beneath through the Tower of Babel."

"You shall use transmission to cover three worlds, providing your transmission channels to the gods."

Clank clank clank!

In the next instant, chains flew like long snakes, binding Lilith to a massive cross, about to bury her deep within the earth's strata.

In the future, she will be sealed on the moon, responsible for transmission.

"No, I'm willing to spread across three worlds, but I don't want to be imprisoned."

Fear and dread flashed in Lilith's eyes; she knew that once sealed, she might never emerge again.

Even if a new Demon King ruled the world, he wouldn't rescue her.

Because, once the Demon King ruled, why would he release her when he could continue to leverage her Power of Communication during her seal?

Freeing Lilith might introduce uncertainty.

Just using her Divine Power will suffice.

In the future, everyone will regard her as the foundation stone of the entire world, a mere tool.

"No, don't..." The more Lilith thought, the more afraid she became, trembling as she uttered, her face full of despair, "I will be eternally sealed."

God looked at her silently, "If you refuse to repent, I shall grant you deeper despair and pain."

Lilith ceased pretending, her face filled with venomous anger, shouting loudly:

"Come on, I dare you to torture me more! You won't kill me!"

"I am the natural Host of the two Divine Objects; my death might lead to the Divine Objects losing control."

"So, under circumstances where I cannot be killed, how else can you torture me?"

She completely let herself go, her mouth full of all sorts of profanities, emanating a fragrant curse, her voice echoing throughout heaven.

The Night Goddess far off in heaven, watching the brilliant starry sky from the moon, heard her mother's words and was startled: "Mother has gone mad?"

In Fairy Lake.

Listening to the curses coming from the direction of heaven, the Lake Fairy was somewhat surprised:

"Lilith seems very dissatisfied with God's judgment, actually provoking God?"

The retired Saint Father Peter was also intrigued and said to Cupid beside him: "I'm curious about how God will act, how to deal with Lilith under circumstances where she can't be killed!"

Some adorable little Angels, Angela, were also discussing, flying in the sky, chatting about God's decision.

Heaven.

The nearby Demon Lords were trembling, staying silent, shouting in their hearts:

"Stop talking, stop talking, Lilith, you're not afraid of death, not afraid of being killed, but we are."

Watching Lilith speak till her throat was dry, God then calmly spoke:

"Demons, born cold-hearted, lacking guilt and regret, so you will not feel pain."

Lilith proudly raised her head, "I don't have those lowly emotions!"

God slowly said:

"I shall remove your shadow and imbue you with light, then you will start to possess emotions like kindness and regret."

"I will use kindness to torture you, and remorse to torment you."

"I will let you experience pain, endure pain, and then accept pain."

As the words fell, a trace of unease finally appeared on Lilith's face, "No, pain and regret are lowly emotions only lower creatures have!"

She did not want to become one of those sentimental, weak, sorrowful beings.

Thud thud thud!

"No! I don't want to be imprisoned here!" This demon suddenly broke free from the shackles, immediately turned around, and stumbled towards the door.

Yet, she only heard the Divine Word from behind:

"Darkness within Lilith, leave her body."

"If it is your will." A voice echoed, and the darkness transformed into dense fog, extracting from her body.

Then.

God injected the stored Light Divine Power from the Light God into Lilith's body.

Thus, the Plague Demon King's entire body shed darkness, her black wings receded as white feathers gradually covered her entire being.

The menacing black horns on her head turned snow white, the dark red eyeshadow and profound sharp teeth disappeared, and the heart-shaped succubus tail was also filled with divine radiance.

"Woo!"

"I am guilty!"

Under the shocked gaze of the numerous Demon Lords, Lilith, who had already run away, returned at an even faster speed.

Thud.

Her legs went weak, and she slid on her knees for six or seven meters, arriving in front of God.

The rebellious Lilith from before began to repent at the speed of light, begging for mercy, prostrating herself on the ground, wailing loudly.

"I am in so much pain, I am so remorseful."

Recalling the evil deeds she had done, the regret transformed into endless remorse surging over her, causing the pain and collapse that made her want to commit suicide.

"I am guilty beyond forgiveness!"

The kind-hearted Lilith fell to her knees, tears streaming down like rain, "I killed the Light God and caused calamity."

"I bewitched the reclusive Sword Hero Goliath into becoming the Demon King, plunging the beings on earth into a disaster of extinction."

She enumerated her countless sins, her kind, gentle, and delicate face filled with immense suffering.

Beside her, the Demon Lords suddenly felt their scalps numb.

"Damn!"

"So terrifying."

"Eerie! This method of punishment is simply too eerie!"

Just now, Lilith was so stubborn...

How long has it been now?

It's terrifying.

For demons, kindness is indeed the most painful punishment.

This overturns the evil they have done in the first half of their lives, forcibly commanding them to reflect on their life.

Yet.

Such manipulation of light and dark, probably only God can achieve!

Even the immortal divine power attribute of the Longevity Divine Spirit cannot purge the darkness completely infused into every cell.

Immortality only locks up your darkness at most.

"Demons do not repent, but only God in this world can make demons repent!"

The Demon Lords lowered their heads, too afraid to make a sound, their hearts filled with fear: "Mysterious, truly omnipotent."

After all, Ultimate Wisdom was the first ultimate Divine Object, naturally extraordinary.

"Finally know regret?"

On the throne, God silently watched this scene.

The God before them showed no sympathy for Lilith, still binding her to the cross, sealing her within the core of the moon,

"The name of Plague Demon King no longer suits you."

"In the future, you shall be called Goddess of Fertility Lilith."

"Go and redeem the sins you have committed."

As soon as the words fell, the crying Lilith was sent to where she should go, the cross binding her once more, slowly sinking into the lunar soil.

With immense fear of the sealing punishment, Lilith felt boundless remorse, only able to cry softly, "I am guilty, I am guilty..."

God said, "In the past, the God of Water and Fire, Anu, and the three Giants committed great sins. The Longevity Divine Spirit gave them eternal punishment but also left them hope of escaping imprisonment."

"I will also give you the possibility of escaping imprisonment; as long as you accomplish feats of equal value to the sins you committed, you shall be released again."

Lilith's expression grew slightly dazed.

Anu still tirelessly pulls corpses even now, acting as the gatekeeping Giant of the Netherworld.

In the future, as the world's order, how much longer will it take for her to break free?

Does she still even have this chance?

Boom boom!

The cross sunk into the earth, decisively sending Lilith away. God looked at the group of Demon Lords,

"As for you."

"Seal on the dark side of the moon."

God had no intentions of spending time on them, sending them away directly.

Thus, the dark side of the moon became the new hell.

This small area was just enough for them to reproduce.

And the demons in hell also began shouldering the responsibility of collecting corpses, handling one body after another transported from the human world.

They became a scavenger-like race.

Yet they still needed to absorb life's fear, malice, darkness, evil... everything rotten to cultivate.

Disregarding dignity, dealing with corpses was indeed quite suitable for them.

After finishing the work on the moon, God remotely addressed the Lake Fairy, Cupid, and other Celestial Beings:

"We should leave the moon; hell here is not suitable for us."

The Lake Fairy and others nodded quickly, "We will migrate with you, to the abode of light."

Quickly, they left the moon, traveling light, packing their things, leaving behind that piece of the palace.

He said to the Moon Fairy, the Night Goddess born on the moon, "I won't expel your darkness, for you are part of the night."

"I'm leaving; the moon is yours to govern; you must keep them in check."

"Yes!"

The Night Goddess, with the demons' cunning and greed, cowardice and bullying nature, appeared like an obedient girl, full of respect, saying, "Father, I will guard hell for you."

"I will occasionally come back to see you." God didn't care about her form of address, decisively leading the group away.

After God and the others left, the Night Goddess entered the underground, looking at Lilith tied to the cross, "Mother, you are so bold!"

"I was wrong; I truly was wrong."

Still in collapse, Lilith continued to repent,

"If back then, when I had just obtained the Divine Object, I hadn't hesitated and immediately went to the Light Capital, I wouldn't have been caught and contaminated by the Demon King in the eastern city, and fallen,

If I hadn't fallen, I wouldn't have become the Plague Demon King,

If I hadn't become the Plague Demon King, I wouldn't have killed the Light God, wouldn't have bewitched Goliath...wouldn't have brought about the Great Flood."

The Night Goddess fell silent for a moment, quietly accompanying her crying mother.

As in the days to come, only the Night Goddess would occasionally visit her eternally crying and repentant mother.

In the distant future.

People discovered a well of water on the moon, from which came distant cries from time to time.

The well water flowed incessantly, containing a certain divine power.

Some say it is the constant tears of the Goddess of Fertility Lilith, endlessly flowing, turning into an underground spring.

The legend of a Moon Well on the moon gradually spread on earth in the ages to come.
