Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 654 - 514: The Four Treasures and the Oven

In the tavern, there are people gloating and people lamenting with sorrow.A lifetime in the eternal world, how fleeting it is?

One must contend with the heavens to claim more years, and the four mightiest beings of the age are undoubtedly the most iconic trailblazers.

At this time, the patrons, their mouths greasy from eating, were discussing:

"Speaking of which, the Four Treasures Sun Emperor is about to die of old age, so how is the era-opening Emperor Chang still alive? Could it be some longevity method?"

"Hasn’t this longevity method been made public by Emperor Chang long ago?"

"Tell us about it?"

"It’s simple. As long as your Divine Vortex is refined enough to form a more perfect vacuum zone, slowing down the rate of chaos devouring, your lifespan will be extended!"

This principle is straightforward to the point of being blunt.

However.

How many can truly achieve it?

For instance, the Four Treasures Sun Emperor advanced hastily without solidifying his foundation.

Resulting in an imperfect spinning Divine Vortex, strands absorbed by the central chaos... naturally leading to a shorter lifespan.

Liu Jun found these worldly tidbits quite interesting as he listened.

During the years he was away, the era had perfected itself into a self-consistent logical system.

Ascend and become a Longevity Immortal.

Or don’t ascend and become a human sovereign with almighty powers, to be treated equally with the gods in heaven.

Liu Jun did not hurriedly return and wandered around the realm of mortals once more.

Walking into an ocean full of celestial islands, entering mountains populated by hermits, traveling to the world’s margins, measuring the parallel world firsthand.

He discovered that the area of this present Parallel Cosmos seemed to have shrunk significantly.

It seems to have condensed slightly with the progress of the age!

After all, this is normal.

Though not many have broken through to the Chaos Realm, a heap has accumulated at the Ninth Tier Ninth Layer!

Each with 10% of the cosmos.

It could be said that ten mighty beings could perfectly rule a corner of the Parallel Cosmos.

Under the law domain of their shared Divine Objects, the cosmos naturally condensed a lot!

"According to this calculation... three thousand cosmoses could accommodate at most thirty thousand Ninth Tier Ninth Layer mighty beings’ breakthroughs."

"Exceed this number, where would there be 10% cosmos area to devour? Other mighty beings certainly wouldn’t allow it!"

From this perspective, the accommodation of mighty beings in three thousand cosmoses has a limit.

This seemingly, is the reason these people are driven madly to outcompete each other at present!

Occupy a spot!

If you don’t occupy a spot quickly, there will be no place to cry in the future.

Thus, an era of golden prosperity emerged, in the early days of the three thousand worlds, opportunities abounding, naturally, there was competition to seize and snatch!

Moreover, as these mighty beings fill every spot... one day they will inevitably die of old age and ascend away!

When that time comes, to whom would their vacated 10% cosmos territory go?

The answer is clear!

Hereditary system.

This essentially then turns into thirty thousand hereditary clans, monopolizing the pathway to ascension.

Each of these three thousand worlds has ten Holy Lands, with some connected in the Immortal Realm... occasionally sending Saint Heirs and Saint Maidens to the lower realm to train.

They fight for the 10% cosmos quota to break through in realm.

"How is this different from those fantasy novels, where the Saint Heirs from the Upper Realm descend to compete for opportunities?"

Liu Jun continually calculated the future, deducing this era of the Immortal Path to this point, and sighed lightly: "Yet another prison."

At such a level as his, knowing a vast amount of high-tier information, he swiftly saw through the age at a glance.

This is precisely why those supreme gods, do not choose to descend personally.

Because given their standing, what’s worth intervening in a future they can see through in a glance?

But another era of mortal rise, inevitably destined to vanish into history.

Unless it involves opportunities to break through the Tenth Tier... no god would care.

"It’s roughly time to go back."

All along, Liu Jun occasionally heard of some sect producing genius with remarkable constitutions.

Also hearing that a Saint Heir from the Immortal Realm graced a sect, welcomed by the entire Holy Land, with the elders bowing humbly.

That Upper Realm Saint Heir instantly fancied the beautiful senior sister in the sect... yet was defeated by a plain-looking junior brother.

Liu Jun suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, each backstory to these rumors could be an interesting fantasy novel.

"The Immortal Realm, Upper Realm, Lower Realm... this map is quite intriguing."

"Enough, enough, time to go back."

"So many mortal stories, but we gods should not focus our gaze on these small ways."

"Having pretended to be in seclusion for so long, Fortuna must be getting anxious."

With a long sigh, Liu Jun concluded his leisurely vacation and returned to Heaven to officially resume work.

...

Heaven.

Fortuna rolled her eyes, speaking informally, "I almost thought you had disappeared. If it weren’t for your lingering might deterring others from invading here... I would have packed my bags and sought protection with the God of Chaos, Bal."

God nodded, "Hmm, the God of Chaos, Bal, his strength has been updated. Seeking him for affairs is indeed fine."

Fortuna sighed, recounting the occurrences over the years.

Liu Jun gleaned much insider information known only to the high echelon and upon conclusion, learned that Emperor Chang and the Four Treasures Sun Emperor had already fought several times.

Each time, it was Emperor Chang against the four.

And secretly, they conspired to set a trap, intending to severely wound and force the Four Treasures Sun Emperor into fleeing, to see if they could lure out some hidden mastermind.

But evidently, Liu Jun was not involved.

Their fishing expedition is destined to fail.

"However, that Four Treasures Sun Emperor is almost dead these years, completely restless... After all, what consequences would a dead man care about?"

"Plus, God has been missing for years, suspected of turning against me, so lately I haven’t dared to go out..."

Fortuna pressed her temples, feeling very troubled.

"I estimate it won’t be many years before these four will truly charge up." Fortuna said, "What do you think? Can we take them on?"

Fortuna now increasingly feels indifferent.

Liu Jun finished the details and said, "Four mortals about to go insane?"

This imminent threat, Liu Jun doesn’t have any thought of dealing with them using God’s identity.

Another thing is:

Really hard to deal with!

Today’s mortals have indeed had an epic enhancement, wielding chaos, four attacking altogether... truly tricky.

Any of God’s moves would be obliterated by them, and the all-mighty Divine Power he prides himself in would be severely restrained.

As for losing, it’s not likely.

More likely, neither side can do anything to the other.

But that’s not what Liu Jun wants.

"God’s vest, nowadays, it doesn’t really fit the era either..."

"Oh well, these four are indeed a bit troublesome, better to intercept with my new vest identity."

"Besides, these four are old, just right to use as test subjects."

No way around it.

All things restrain each other!

With these guys holding chaos...

Liu Jun’s Heaven Opening, just happens to fiercely restrain them!

Come one, extinguish one, simply their nemesis!

Playing the game, without choosing the version’s darling, what’s the point of experience?

Only by hacking can it be fun to play.

With that in mind, Liu Jun and Fortuna chatted for a while, and a few more days passed.

During these days, he secretly investigated the specific location of the Four Treasures Sun Emperor, preparing to make his formal debut.

As for ambush? Sly tricks?

Don’t need to worry about those at all.

With the strongest version divine object of this era, no fear of anyone.

...

Half a year later.

Sun Nation, Four Sun Palace, suspended in the sky.

Four trembling old men, sitting in circles, bodies withered, vitality severely depleted, looking like their bodies are hollowed out.

At the tea table, a red-robed old man sighed:

"If we can’t find that mastermind, we might have to go after the Goddess of Destiny."

Honestly, they don’t want to go after the Goddess of Destiny.

This surely isn’t because they fear God.

Being close to death, they naturally fear no one.

The reason for not taking action is purely because even if they kill the Goddess of Destiny, it likely won’t solve their reason for dying.

Chaos entering the body, almost no solution!

They broke through the Chaos Realm, and their entire soul, self, consciousness, has already formed a perfect balance with chaos.

Not even the Goddess of Destiny’s divine power can save them.

The only savior might be that mysterious person who can eliminate chaos.

Though that person is extremely strange, they’re also their only hope.

"If they don’t show up soon, we’ll have no choice but to kill Fortuna..."

"Yes, first slaughter a god, whether her divine power can save us, get it first, only then can we know if it can save us."

While they were discussing.

Suddenly, they felt a rift in the cosmos, an enigmatic presence appeared above them.

"Are you looking for me?"

His presence was nonexistent, as if standing in another dimensional space-time, incredibly mysterious, showing no pressure, showing no majesty.

Not a trace of a strong presence, not even a trace of life presence... just appearing quietly before them.

If he hadn’t spoken, no one could sense him.

"When... how did he appear..." The Four Sun Emperors suddenly trembled all over, glaring intensely at him.

So arrogant, so bold!

They had laid out a heaven-and-earth net, and he really came?

Although they don’t understand why he has no presence, they remain fearless!

Because the power of gods is indeed bizarre, no matter how extraordinary the traits, they won’t fear.

"Form the array!"

In an instant, as if they had practiced countless times, they stood in four positions, actually controlling the surrounding four cosmoses, slowly compressing inward.

In an instant, the terrifying pressure of the Chaos Realm erupted violently.

But in the next moment, these four cosmoses... were slowly kneaded, squeezed into an oven.

Outside the door, a figure overlooking these people within the cosmos.

He wore a bread suit, looking down at the four inside the oven, "You look quite appetizing."

Buzz. The oven suddenly lit up with orange-red lights, entering a roasting state.
