Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 163: Lifespan and Zombies (Part 2)


Whenever their lifespan was about to end, some tribe leaders with great intuition would see a mysterious figure descending at night to claim their lives.

They called it: Yin Envoy.

The Witch Priest was also very clever: "No longer harvesting at a fixed age of sixty, but instead establishing a harvesting algorithm."

From then on.

The concept of lifespan began to exist between heaven and earth!

"Humans have a lifespan."

Some clever people even deduced complex formulas to calculate others' lifespans, setting up stalls to tell fortunes.

"You have thirty-six years left in your lifespan."

"You have half a month left in your lifespan."

Fortune-telling rose to prominence!

Some wise individuals began to lament:

"With the advent of gods, there came the concept of lifespan; does this mean... that humans have predetermined destinies?"

However, the Witch Priest sat on the Divine Mountain, seeing doubts among the people on earth, he couldn't help but continue to refine his harvesting technique.

His name was Huan, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"To die without cause, to perish suddenly, is indeed suspicious!"

With a benevolent heart, he declared:

"There must be birth, old age, illness, and death."

He summoned the God of Wishing Witch and ordered him to research a new Wishing Witch Skill.

This art, using the technique of Yansheng to curse, would produce various diseases, increasing with the length of one's lifespan.

This way, death would not appear abrupt.

The second-generation God of Wishing Witch, Qiu, felt humiliated upon hearing this:

"We are to aid him in his nefarious acts, using our proud Divine Art to fool the people."

But he had no choice but to comply.

Since the appearance of old-age diseases, people gradually became accustomed to it, no longer finding it strange.

Some said: "The length of life is determined by fate!"

Some even concluded: "Lifespan may be ordained, disasters naturally arise!"

"Human Race, Witch Priest Myths, Lifespan Chapter"

[Rumor has it, after the world first opened, Death God arose among the Witch Priests, tallying lifespans and claiming lives when due.]

[They are gaunt and withered, with azure faces and tusks, adorned with jingling bone ornaments, eerie and terrifying.]

[However, claiming lives and sudden deaths were too abrupt, so the Witch Priests commanded the use of Wishing Witch Skill to set life into four stages, thus introducing birth, aging, sickness, and death to the world.]

Seeing this, Hot Carp couldn't help but raise his brow:

"Tsk tsk, monopolizing the entire world, deceiving the people, this technique seems awfully familiar, truly a company origin."

"Just like me, Saint Baby, receiving the same education from an early age."

"Even the Death God has emerged, stripping souls and pretending it's the end of their lifespan? It truly has a mythical flavor."

For indeed, there were no real-world influences.

Equivalent to a group of native aborigines deducing the Mythical Era, the advent of two divine and demonic tribes mastering oil and souls was almost an inevitable event.

The only issue is:

Both of these gods are problematic individuals.

One hails from a lecherous, licentious Evil Book sect.

The other from a careless portal school.

Though they lost the memories of their origins, their deeply rooted personalities severely influence their behavior logic.

At this time.

Humanity, through cultivation, saw the rise of various powerful beings, greatly boosting productivity, entering the city-state era.

Concepts of lifespan, celestial destiny, and fate became increasingly widespread across the land.

Meanwhile, the second-generation God of Wishing Witch, Qiu, bided his time, marrying a woman named Wan, and fathering offspring.

Perhaps due to the parents' high affinity with the Divine Power of Wishing Witch, their child's affinity with this power reached an astounding 96.

His name was: Ying Qing.

"I see hope for our resurgence!" Qiu said.

However, this child was naturally mischievous, lively, and caused numerous troubles even in his youth.

Due to former psychological shadows, some said: "Oh no! He's like the original Wishing Witch, with great talent but deeply evil, destined to bring calamity to our people!"

This only fueled Ying Qing's dissatisfaction.

That night, he secretly used the poison of Wishing Witch, to paralyze that old man, plucking all his beard, and stealing all his collected fragrant oil.

"Bad seed!"

"Truly a bad seed!"

"I see a semblance to the original Wishing Witch in him!"

Throughout the tribe, his reputation worsened, but Ying Qing remained indifferent, doing as he pleased.

He spent his childhood amid chaotic upheavals.

Upon adulthood, he told his father: "Our Wishing Witch clan has been deliberately suppressed, unable to progress; this cannot continue."

"Therefore, I've decided to travel, to see the world."

The essence of the second-generation God of Wishing Witch, Qiu, was that of a simple and honest big-factory worker.

All his life, he worked diligently, screwing bolts in a factory.

Confronted with a rebellious son, he didn't know how to express himself, thus allowing him to leave.

Ying Qing quietly departed one early morning, intent on personally experiencing what kind of world this was.

He journeyed through various cities, beginning a deep understanding of this world.

"Rumor has it, the Witch Priests mastered souls, crushing our Wishing Witch, yet there are no tales of them left throughout the realm!"

"Instead, everyone knows of our Wishing Witch, believing us to govern the world."

He discovered.

Wishing Witch Skills were applied in many places.

The dolls, medicinal oils, fragrant oils of Wishing Witch masters... Various means protected the vast lands.

The world perceived Wishing Witch Country as the world's ruler.

"It seems, to harvest souls, they hid their identity, lurking behind us, pushing us to the forefront, secretly ruling the world."

"Father lives a hard life."

In a town one night, he saw a middle-aged wealthy merchant being sneaked upon by a Yin Envoy adorned with various bone ornaments.
