Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 181: The Gap Between Victory and Defeat Strength and Weakness (2)


In the next moment, the Blessing God and the Witch Priest God fiercely collided.

The vital energy churned out waves of heat as if a high-energy nuclear bomb had exploded, with shockwaves destroying everything in their path.

Each strike from the two unleashed a mushroom cloud, turning the entire sky crimson under the intense heat of these divine beings, with the scorching air twisting as if the sky itself were aflame.

This scene was truly shocking.

With each collision transformed into countless afterimages, eventually, Hot Catfish was violently knocked away.

Ha!

The surging power constantly roared within the body of the Blessing God, like mighty rivers and streams.

The Blessing God shouted:

"Boy, you've lost!"

"You held me off for hundreds of years; that's already something to be proud of."

Hot Catfish was struck until his whole body was shattered, his soul body nearly dispersed.

His strength was indeed impressive, but due to falling short in power attributes and a slightly slower breakthrough pace, the stalemate could not continue.

"Hahaha!"

In the sky, the Blessing God laughed heartily, scattering abundant and astonishing vital blood, full of immense pride and spirit,

"Today, I will massacre the Celestial Gods of this spiritual world, then cut down the traitors of reality; who in this world dares to ascend to divinity and become supreme!"

...

"How is it possible? Hot Catfish lost to that native?" Re Ji's eyes widened, dumbfounded.

Beside him, an elderly man with vast knowledge said, "That native was originally much weaker, but he absorbed the opponent's combat experience during the fight and has caught up with the times."

Re Ji thought for a moment, feeling a sense of shared fate, "That native truly deserves to die, what did he do? He was merely lucky to have found a Divine Object."

"Heh." Beside them, Mei Tu from Black Rabbit Clothing, arms crossed, said, "Historically, haven't there been peasants who stormed the capital, overthrew dynasties, and slaughtered the traitors to become founding emperors?"

"Many emperors came from humble beginnings; win, and they are emperors; lose, and they are rebels. Isn't it that simple, and you still can't see it?"

Mei Tu watched the battle in the sky, speaking coldly, "Hot Catfish himself was already lucky, akin to those dukes in history with the chance to overthrow the old dynasty and then establish a new one. He got the Divine Object, and if he can't win, who is there to blame?"

They hadn't finished speaking.

Hot Catfish plummeted from the sky, his blood spilling across the earth, utterly defeated.

Meanwhile, Ying Qing stood tall in the sky, holding the three Divine Objects, his energy, spirit, and essence unified, looking down at the people of Rehe Heavy Industry below,

"Are you ready?"

The high-ranking experts below looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Now, it was their turn to get beaten!

Hot Catfish, defeated on the ground, spat out blood, "What a pity, as the fourth-generation Witch Priest God, first-generation Blessing God, I still lost in this era."

"In history, you severed the first, second, and third generations of Witch Priest Gods, single-handedly pushing through three eras, which was quite impressive."

But Hot Catfish paused and sighed, "After my defeat, I will be abandoned by their high ranks, but you have no idea what kind of things you will be fighting next."

"I certainly know."

Ying Qing's gaze swept past these high-level figures, looking toward the deepest part of the Public Sea of Consciousness, faintly sensing that a group of true top beings in that world was quietly watching him.

Ying Qing's expression remained cold and indifferent,

"If compared to a sect, you Hot Catfish, Re Ji, and Hot Carp are just the young talents of the generation, with the hope of reaching the Fifth Tier, and a promising future."

"You're just young Saints of this century."

"What about those from the generation a century ago? Surely, they haven't died; they have mid-Fifth Tier elders and high-tier Supreme Elders in slumber."

Ying Qing was well aware.

Before, they had Fifth Tier power.

But the Fifth Tier was very imperfect and had many flaws.

Therefore, it wasn't publicized, and they couldn't don the Sacred Body for long due to time limits.

Most of them were in slumber and continued training, with combat limited.

Now the Sacred Body is completely perfected, without combat restrictions.

The current Hot Catfish was merely a contemporary youth.

"According to the Fifth Tier's theory of climbing the tower."

"My current Third Layer combat power is 4, while your Tenth Layer combat power is 512."

"Even if I hold three Divine Objects with a pure flow of mana, if I cannot draw the Power of Heaven and Earth to replenish strength, I fear it will be hard to be your opponent."

Ying Qing's calm analysis made Hot Catfish give a bitter laugh:

"Blessing God, as long as you know, unless you construct a heavenly environment, like God, absorb vast mana as a backup, otherwise manpower is limited, borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth, you cannot win."

"Heh."

"Are you still laughing? A battle across boundaries is no simple matter! Winning is very difficult!"

"I laugh at your cowardice; four kilograms of steel can beat 512 kilograms of wood. Unless you try, how will you know the result?"

"You truly are a madman."

"Hmph! You there in the sky, come and play with me."

...

Rehe City, Cangwu Tree.

The figure of the Longevity Divine Spirit sat quietly on the chair.

Before him was a combat projection of the Public Sea of Consciousness, displaying the scene from that battle.

"Very interesting, heaven and earth separate the clear from the turbid?"

The eyes of the Longevity Divine Spirit flickered, with no joy or sadness,

"The world of immortals has been born, perhaps I could lower a Space Divine Object, let them deduce it thoroughly, thrust this spiritual world into the space... making it a real world of Immortal Path?"

"Hmm, a Space Divine Object, its ways of play are myriad, giving it to them might be good, I have too many Divine Objects, needing the help of others to deduce for me."

"Moreover, have they devised a specific method for enhancing to the Fifth Tier?"

Liu Jun sat quietly on the chair, his eyes narrowing.

In other words, his own Good Heart and Malicious Heart must continue to absorb good and evil, igniting mana and transforming upon heart activation?

Previously, he was somewhat at a loss on how to elevate to this realm.

Finally, he had a way to advance his realm.

At this moment, Insect Thirteen remarked, "At this point, he could actually retreat, having acquired the three kinds of essence, qi, and spirit Divine Objects; he already has the foundation of immortality, no longer facing problems."

The Longevity Divine Spirit said, "How do you know he hasn't prepared an escape route? This guy, he might have stealthily sent the three Divine Objects back already, just storing large amounts of the three kinds of divine power within himself."

"Ah? Is that so?" Insect Thirteen was somewhat bewildered.

The Longevity Divine Spirit remained very calm, "He's a madman, but not a fool; this kind of person, without restraint, pays attention to detail. When he met me, he didn't pluck my beard the first time but became fully bold only after gaining power the second time, knowing some things can be done, some can't."

Insect Thirteen pondered, "Who do you think will win?"

"Most likely those companies." The Longevity Divine Spirit leisurely cracked melon seeds, showing no divine power's might.

The opposition was not foolish.

From beginning to end, their true leaders never showed themselves.

The Cult took away the Divine Object without appearing.

The battle between Hot Catfish and Ying Qing didn't make them appear either.

This means everything was within their control; they believed they had the absolute strength to resolve any possible variables.

The gap at the Tenth Layer of the Fifth Tier was significant.

They thought Ying Qing, who held three Divine Objects at the initial Fifth Tier, wouldn't be their match.

Moreover, if not mistaken, they were likely to have stored large amounts of essence, qi, and spirit mana, crafting an Immortal Body like Hot Catfish did in advance.

Thus, in the short term, Ying Qing had no advantage in battle.

Insect Thirteen evidently thought of this too, quietly observing Ying Qing with some admiration, "He does what many have wanted to do."

"What? You want to help him?" The Longevity Divine Spirit asked.

"But the Top Ten Companies have been kind to me," Insect Thirteen said, "They haven't treated me badly, always helping me, so it's hard to go against them."

The Longevity Divine Spirit revealed a meaningful smile:

"In that case, why not add a little fun since you plan to support neither side?"

The Longevity Divine Spirit pointed to the tense atmosphere on the screen:

"How about lending your divine power to both sides, adding some amusement to the battle!"

Insect Thirteen: "..."

You truly are... so carefree and unconstrained.

These companies will probably find themselves somewhat troubled, won't they?
