Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 227: Strange Development of the Era


Time flies.

Adam and Eve soon established a brand new dwelling place.

Their race was born divine, able to live in a vacuum, a natural cosmic race.

They could inhabit any planet.

"Interesting."

Liu Jun's thoughts raced, "This is more like a mythological tale. Otherwise, if they were stuck on a single planet, unable to even leave the atmosphere, how could they be called gods?"

A god that can't leave the atmosphere, that still needs to drink water, breathe air, scratch feet, and bathe—Liu Jun would call them 'provincials.'

He quietly watched this advanced mythological version of Adam and Eve.

Primitive tribes, an original ecosystem with no entertainment options—what to do?

Procreation was the only entertainment activity.

One year, birth.

Ten years, many births.

Fifty years, extensive births.

Their reproductive abilities were no different from ordinary people, a ten-month pregnancy, plus recuperation, averaging one birth per year.

Now their population has grown to more than a dozen, forming a happy and prosperous big family.

"Father."

"Mother."

A group of children ran on the planet, full of laughter and joy.

Their bodies could keep growing, already towering Giant Gods.

They established a bathhouse on a gaseous planet, using gas storms for bathing and tearing down planetary rings from the sky for scrubbing.

After scrubbing, they re-hung the planetary rings to use as towels next time.

Liu Jun stared at the scene in the sky, dumbfounded.

Is this a way to bathe in the galaxy?

Sixth Tier, impressive.

It truly has the essence of ancient mythology.

"Even without the blessing of the Divine Object, these ordinary Sixth Tiers are still very formidable, indeed worthy of being called gods."

Liu Jun had self-awareness.

His people were only called gods because they wielded the Divine Object, without which?

They would be worms.

"It can be foreseen, that once this Sixth Tier reaches its peak, it can easily shatter stars."

With the rapid transmission, the Wisdom Disaster erupted in this small group, and they developed various magical methods, truly astounding.

Of course.

Their huge size was still insignificant compared to a star.

A few dozen people couldn't consume much material resources.

This species has infinite potential, but it seems that spreading out will take a considerable amount of time.

The first hundred years.

"Sixth Tier Second Layer, there's now a hint."

Adam and Eve communicated, rapidly deducing realms through the outbreak of Wisdom Disaster.

Now with about a hundred Sixth Tier children helping, they've roughly figured things out.

"The realm of the Sixth Tier Second Layer cannot be reached just through cultivation."

"We were born at Sixth Tier First Layer, and might remain at Sixth Tier First Layer all our lives."

"We can't break through this boundary ourselves, but the children we bear can."

This time, they truly understood the previous gods' apprehensions.

Continuing this way, it would take ten generations of reproduction to reach the Tenth Realm.

And the good thing is, unlike the Fifth Tier ones, they don't die after giving birth.

They don't die after giving birth.

But are eternally fixed at this Sixth Tier First Layer realm, unreachable by human effort!

"It's unexpected that this realm cannot be cultivated, only reproduced."

Adam, troubled, said, "But, by advancing our realm, we gave birth to Sixth Tier Second Layer divine children, and if they have ill intentions toward us, what then?"

Now they regained a sense of good and evil.

They were naturally wary of potential occurrences.

Moreover, this was almost inevitable.

If having a child intent on patricide was a small probability event,

as more children were born, the probability greatly increased.

Further, the second generation of Sixth Tier Second Layer children wouldn't strike.

But would the third generation of Sixth Tier Third Layer grandchildren refrain?

One generation further removed, each generation stronger than the last...

The more Adam and Eve thought, the more fear crept into their hearts.

This seemed unsolvable, only a dead end!

At this point, Eve whispered, "I'd already thought this Sixth Tier was a big pit."

"How so?" Adam calmed his emotions.

Eve said, "Haven't you noticed, if a normal Fifth Tier civilization breaks through, they get destroyed by a Sixth Tier infant."

"And a newborn in ruins, alone, how could they reproduce?"

Adam came back to his senses.

Indeed, the Sixth Tier is achieved through reproduction!

With only one Sixth Tier baby left, regardless of gender, asexual reproduction is impossible.

So, what should be done with this lonely Sixth Tier baby?

He has only one option.

In the ruins, rebuild the Fifth Tier civilization, cultivate the Fifth Tier, create a colossal lie, set a trap, and enable the reemergence of Fifth Tier Peak powerhouses, using life to produce another gendered baby!

Yes.

It cannot be a baby of the same gender.

A same-gender baby is likely to compete with you for the opposite gender!

Give birth to a same-gender baby, kill it.

Give birth to an opposite-gender one, then it can be raised to become a child bride or groom.

Thus, in this lonely world, there would truly be another member of the species.

"This is too tragic." A trace of panic arose in Adam's heart.

Eve said: "Fortunately, we have the blessing of the Divine Object and the protection of the gods watching over us as babies, allowing us to bypass this stage and become a couple."

It was God and the gods who accelerated their progress.

Letting them bypass the single infant stage and enter the first reproductive period as a man and woman.

Adam said: "But with the world's first couple, it only leads to the next tragedy; when we give birth to many children, having them help us deduce realms, only then we discover the horrifying truth."

Now, it's also God and the gods who accelerated their progress.

With the Wisdom Disaster, along with a hundred babies, taking a hundred years to discover this despairing truth.

Without acceleration, it might take thousands of years.

Their population reached an exaggerated number of millions to jointly deduce this fact.

And then, what would the world be?

Millions of Sixth Tier powerhouses would cause great chaos, societal collapse, starry rivers shattering!

Adam couldn't help but feel relieved, "Fortunately, we didn't develop under normal circumstances. With only a hundred people, we've already deduced to this degree."

Eve said: "So what should we do now?"

The Box of God suddenly spoke: "I possess the Divine Power of Concealment, which can help you hide!"

With these words, Adam and Eve's eyes lit up.

Indeed.

God hid away, attempting to foster a stronger Sixth Tier civilization to help reverse-engineer methods to break through realms without relying on reproduction.

Why can't we do the same?

We can also hide, allowing our descendants to undergo reproductive iteration, Second Layer, Third Layer...

Ultimately, we may also find the hope of breaking through the bottleneck.

"Should we take the children with us to hide?" Adam asked.

Eve quickly replied: "No, they surely want to steal the Box of God as well; we can't trust them completely."

"Then you mean? Only the two of us hide?" Adam was a bit hesitant; he loved his children dearly.

Eve said: "Don't hesitate, we can think of it, why can't they? They also want to steal the Box of God, hide in the shadows..."

"If we don't take the Box of God and leave early, the children will instead engage in internal strife and mutual killing. You don't want to see your children become like that, right?"

At this moment, Adam and Eve already embodied good and evil, naturally with selfish thoughts.

Undeniably,

The Sixth Tier, this realm, is too insidious, testing humanity from beginning to end.

"Then let's go." Adam gritted his teeth.

Eve also spoke: "Mm."

The two quietly left with the Box of God.

And upon learning this, their hundred children immediately sensed it.

"Our parents abandoned us."

"We have become orphans."

They made various choices; some, even without concealing themselves, planned to escape into the depths of the star ocean, away from this troubled place.

Some prepared to raise offspring.

110 years.

The true second generation was born.

139 years.

The third generation appeared.

155 years.

The fourth generation appeared.

As generations passed, the fourth-generation powerhouses were extraordinary in combat, already looking down on their ancestors, starting to rebel against the heavens, enslaving them for labor.

His name was Cain,

"Parents are born servants."

"Giving birth to us is your duty; working for us, you should feel honored!"

Countless older management layers were dethroned.

Cain, also known in later generations as the kin-slayer, is the progenitor of all evil people in the world.

They did not allow these old men to stand too high above, too decrepit, dragging them down from their pedestals.

In this era, kinship was chaotic, morality declined, and rites and music collapsed.

Liu Jun, witnessing this scene, exclaimed with familiarity: "Even the scholarly world next door doesn't have a worldview as twisted and evil as yours."
