Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 655 - 515: The Century Bakery

Outside the oven, that silhouette seemed to tear through the cosmic sky, descending from above, so vast and towering that the face was indistinct, like an endless, sky-high Giant."So big..."

They swallowed hard, watching the eerie red lights flicker on, all four powerful figures showing a hint of apprehension.

"No, it’s not that he’s big, it’s that we’ve shrunk."

"Space... we’ve been compressed into a certain space."

"What is the ability of this Divine Object?"

"We’ve been stuffed into some kind of pocket."

"No, it’s an oven... a square, glowing red oven!"

Each of these people rules a vast region of multiple universes and directly controls 100% of a Parallel Cosmos transformed into their cosmic domain.

Within their domain, they command the wind and rain, immensely powerful, deciding the lives of countless people, the fate of dynasties, the so-called Immortal gates, various Holy Lands...

In their eyes, mere ants.

Yet now...

Their entire cosmic domain has been kneaded into bread and stuffed into some oven?

"Hey!! Be reasonable, this is a Parallel Cosmos."

One of them, clad in red, the Red Sun Emperor, with a fiery temperament, couldn’t help but curse, "If you’re going to ambush, can you at least follow some basic rules?"

Although Divine Objects don’t play by the rules.

But what’s before them has surpassed the level of disregard.

This is a massive Parallel Cosmos, just stuffed into your oven?

Your Divine Object, why is it so outrageous?

Another Blue Sun Emperor, though shocked by the strange methods of the opponent, had regained composure at this point, analyzing:

"Three fellow Daoists, do not panic. We four joined forces, battled against a God of Faith... challenged the first generation Chaos powerhouse, Emperor Chang. We four together, united, fear none!"

The Black Sun Emperor’s expression showed a hint of arrogance, calmly saying:

"Don’t be scared, the opponent’s powers clearly belong to the Space Series Divine Object... there is still one Divine Object in space that hasn’t appeared, the one in his hand must be the Space Divine Object!"

"Yes, only the final space can have the ability to shove an entire Parallel Cosmos."

"And this ultimate Divine Object is in the shape of an oven, likely related to barbecue!"

In just a few moments, they analyzed the history of Divine Objects and deduced the oven-shaped "Parallel Space-Time" ability, probably a type of Hundred Treasures Bag that throws them into the oven for Refinement.

However, upon knowing, they secretly cursed: "We might be restrained this time!"

The Parallel Cosmos is their domain.

They rely on this fortress, playing tower defense games, blocking multiple phone attacks from past Gods of Faith.

The fortress still remains unbreakable!

But now, the fortress has been uprooted and shoved into this Mysterious oven?

The opponent’s Divine Object can target their domain!

The Space Series... instantly toppled their entire cosmos.

The White Sun Emperor also lowered his voice:

"Don’t rush. This Space Divine Object probably doesn’t have strong combat capabilities; it should be for confinement. We don’t need to hurry, just fend off this strange red light! Delay until other strong reinforcements!"

Such a major event is happening here, surely it wouldn’t take long to attract attention from the strong.

They just need to proceed calmly and steadily.

But just then, while these four were standing on four pieces of bread, exchanging continuously outside the oven, the immense silhouette slowly bent down, reached out a palm, and pressed a knob on the oven.

The red light suddenly accelerated.

Boom—

A gust of hot wind surged.

Standing on the bread, their body’s moisture evaporated, an intangible heat was roasting them.

In an instant, they realized this wasn’t high-temperature flame but an illusion created by time flowing rapidly over their bodies.

As if being steamed, dizzy and disoriented, their limited lifespan quickly dwindling!

The places the red light touched, the bread tops rapidly withered.

The surfaces of the four cosmos-turned-bread gradually showed golden-brown hues, inexplicably appetizing.

At this moment, all four suddenly felt an illusion:

They were like ants on bread thrown into an oven... small, helpless, pitiful.

The instinct that should have vanished with their strength reappeared, a sudden bout of claustrophobia gripped them.

"This is time, how does he have Time Divine Power, time flowing inside the oven..."

"They’re going to turn us into Alchemy!"

In almost an instant, a terrifying thought emerged in their minds.

This guy isn’t just space, but also time.

His ultimate Divine Object is a fusion of two series... Space-Time.

This terrifying ancient deity, his rank so high, even just revealing a corner made these four emperors who believed they could jointly oppose any one god feel cold to their bones.

"Everyone, take action!"

"Yes, time is slipping away, our cosmos control is also vanishing... our cosmos is really going to turn into bread!"

"His Divine Power is too bizarre! Under such characteristics, the more we delay, the closer to death."

"We can’t just sit and wait for death, while we still have territorial control!"

"Let’s join forces and shatter the glass window of this oven first!"

Bang bang bang!

Inside the oven, unable to resist, they mobilized all the power in the bread beneath their feet, gathered it together, a vast aura suddenly shot out, converging on them, the Divine Vortex thus accelerating at high frequency.

Spin spin spin!

The crazily spinning Divine Vortex rallied all power, with the four standing on each corner, forming a tacit formation, jointly heating the oven’s glass window.

"Four Suns Ascend."

Like four blazing suns rising, the rapidly spinning Divine Vortex, wrapped in endless laws, transforming into rainbow-colored light rotating.

Boom!

At that moment.

The glass window shattered.

"We can do this!"

"Continue!"

Bang!

"Good, it’s completely shattered."

But before they could be happy, they were terrified to discover a more frightening place.

After the glass window shattered, there was another layer of glass underneath.

Multiple layers of glass?

No...

This is multi-space, this is Parallel Divine Power.

The furious Red Sun Emperor screamed madly, "It’s parallel! Along with the previous time, space... his final Divine Object is a trinity, it’s... Parallel Space-Time."

Their full-force strike was quickly blocked by the eighth layer of glass, with a lot of the power leaking into an unknown Parallel Space-Time.

But the glass window didn’t budge an inch, instead making the red light even more intense.

"Quickly, escape back to our Cosmos!"

They exclaimed in shock and turned their heads.

Only to find that their Cosmos had turned into a huge round loaf, with themselves like fleas on the bread.

Thud, thud, thud!

They jumped around.

Frantically tearing open the golden, crispy surface of the baked bread, they hid inside the soft depths of the bread.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

The surrounding light dimmed.

They ran for a while before calming down slightly to observe their location.

Inside the Cosmos, countless buildings had caramelized, softened, exuding a sweet and strange atmosphere... It seemed to have some kind of puffing ability, with strands of soft bread filaments, like spider silk, covering the inside of the bread.

And this puffing effect made the bread even softer.

"What has our Cosmos turned into?"

"Has everything become edible?"

The Black Sun Emperor pawed at the soft interior of the bread, "Is this really baking us like bread? Damn it! Our nation has turned into a bread kingdom, just like in fairy tales, but not a bit beautiful!"

White Sun Emperor also joined in with complaints: "Yes, we might become cookie people inside the bread."

The four brothers not only had a tacit understanding but also found humor in adversity.

"The scariest thing is, isn’t he going to eat the next bread? Consuming another Parallel Cosmos, is he a monster? You know, we only eat using the Divine Vortex and then spit it out because we can’t digest it... Does he really dare to eat? Isn’t he afraid of bursting?"

The Red Sun Emperor seemed to calm himself down amidst the fear.

Only with calmness can they seek survival.

The powers of various gods were too strange, but their powers weren’t invincible and had to have flaws.

If they could just find the weakness, they’d have a chance to escape.

From then on, they kept surviving in the bread, constantly running deeper, trying to buy time.

There was even a moment.

They somewhat wanted to give up and thought: might as well commit suicide, let Chaos explode and destroy this oven...

Just when they were running wildly.

Suddenly, with a crisp and pleasant ding, like the universe was reopening, countless white lights emitted from the oven.

"The oven door, opened?"

Before they could even react, a hand reached in, applying some special substance on the bread.

This made the Four Treasures Sun Emperor grit their teeth, "Damn it, he’s applying glaze halfway through baking? The bread-baking process seems quite meticulous."

After the complaints, they exchanged glances, attempting to climb towards the bread’s surface.

Reaching the surface, they found that the bread’s surface had been coated with a magical divine power...

"What is this?"

For a moment, their hearts trembled wildly.

They felt a mysterious force in this divine power that resonated distantly with the Chaos within them.

Involuntarily, they reached out to touch the divine power.

Boom!

They touched lightly.

Their entire being suddenly entered an epiphany, their consciousness shattered into countless parallel fragments, plunging into endless slumber.

...

In the void.

When everyone arrived, they found the positions of the four Parallel Cosmoses had completely disappeared, leaving behind a bottomless black abyss.

And what replaced it was a brightly lit bakery, full of warm ambiance.

This bakery stood in the middle of the void, its warmth tinged with an indescribable eeriness.

"A trick? Or some Divine Object characteristic?"

Emperor Chang was the first to arrive, frowning slightly, more concerned about how the four Parallel Cosmoses vanished suddenly.

Even a Chaos Realm expert couldn’t accommodate such a vast Cosmos area!

They could only forcibly devour and spit out to refine the Divine Vortex within, reaching the Ninth Tier and Tenth Layer.

The inexplicable disappearance of the Cosmos before their eyes was truly bizarre.

Click!

He pushed open the door.

Only to see under the bright and warm soft light, a baker gently opened the oven and took out four breads.

And inside the hamburger-shaped bread layers, sandwiched in the middle, were the four greatest powerhouses of the bygone era: the Four Treasures Sun Emperors.

The bread seemed to wrap around them like a quilt, and their faces bore serene smiles, lost in beautiful dreams.

Click.

The four freshly baked, steaming breads were placed in a glass display case.

This scene bore no oppressive force, carried no aura...

Yet it made the era’s mightiest, the greatest mortal heroes in history, Emperor Chang, feel a deep sense of dread and fear,

"Who are you?"
