Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 653 - 513: Oases Everywhere, the Mother Bread Tree

After finishing a round of work, Liu Jun stopped to look at his achievements.Around a virtual oasis, under each bread tree hung a chaos fruit.

These chaos fruits were absorbing the material energy drifting in from the void, growing themselves.

The inside of these bread trees contained small worlds drawn with parallel spaces...

Every time the fruit grew to a certain extent, the bread tree would use the stored Heaven-Opening Divine Power to cut the fruit open, absorb the nutrients, and strengthen the bread tree.

"In this way, a self-sustaining ecosystem is completed."

After confirming that his programmed settings had no issues, Liu Jun casually cut open a chaos fruit hanging from the tree.

"The fruit is thin and lacks nutrients."

He glanced at the fruit, revealing a trace of dissatisfaction, "This area has already been sucked dry by chaos... the efficiency is extremely low, I might as well change to another place and continue absorbing."

He moved his mind.

The entire oasis and bread trees turned into a nomadic continent in the void, starting to move slowly.

The Bread Civilization set sail!

The area of this continent was very small, not even comparable to the area of one of the three thousand parallel cosmoses...

It could only be described as a small world.

To fully grow into a super-large mature cosmos, comparable to the universe where Liu Jun was located, who knows how many years it would take.

But fortunately.

Liu Jun didn’t plan to take any slow development route.

"I don’t need to make this place bigger... just treat it as another map."

Liu Jun didn’t abandon his rich and beautiful homeland to venture out and develop new areas, that would be too foolish.

Besides, even if he did develop another cosmos, what use would it be?

At most, the area would be doubled, but it wouldn’t be a qualitative change.

Rumble!

The entire Bread Civilization began its nomadic journey.

Liu Jun stood on the continent, pondering,

"Chaos, after solving its side effects, is indeed quite useful... a super pump, mindlessly sucking everything away."

"After sucking it away, split it open, seizing the hard-earned achievements!"

"Chaos, Heaven-Opening..."

"When connected together, this move is: Chaos Heaven-Opening!"

He felt a sense of achievement as he perceived the expansion of this void continent.

Now, even if Liu Jun left the original cosmos, he was qualified to wander in the endless void and rebuild a new cosmos.

Although this period would inevitably be long, theoretically it was possible.

"This stage is somewhat like the human of the Primitive Era, stepping out of the planet into the galactic era."

And to achieve this accomplishment of stepping into the void, it required the two Divine Powers of [Chaos] and [Heaven-Opening].

The void was too barren!

Without the [Chaos] super vacuum pump in hand, you simply wouldn’t have the capability to absorb the energy of the void thinned to the extreme...

No matter how powerful you are, what awaits you will only be dying of thirst in the desert!

But having chaos alone is not enough.

If you can’t decompose chaos, it will only kill you.

"Hoo!"

Liu Jun took a deep breath, feeling in his heart that he had uncovered another interesting cosmic mechanism.

In the time that followed, Liu Jun began using various Divine Powers to promote the development of this oasis continent.

Establishing civilization, belief, guiding the new life here.

And also accelerating with the Time Divine Power.

Here, upon birth, they start at the Sixth Tier; thus, enabling them to form effective combat power quickly within a few hundred years.

"Oh God, thank you!"

"Oh God, thank you so much!"

Countless people on this oasis prostrated in worship.

Liu Jun didn’t care about this.

Because for any advanced civilization, educating the lower civilization had already formed an assembly line operation.

Liu Jun was simply following the procedures in their "Interstellar Colonization Manual" within their three thousand worlds, on how to obtain faith, how to rapidly advance the era, how to select talents...

Now, indeed, these people were full of admiration towards him.

And achieving this was enough.

"I am about to leave..."

"You will continue to advance in civilization... there will be many civilizations like yours, nomadic in the void, as seeds I have planted."

After Liu Jun finished speaking, he turned and left.

This civilization was indeed just one among many.

He certainly wouldn’t just create a single oasis.

Only children would be focused, adults want them all!

After leaving behind a certain amount of Heaven-Opening Divine Power, Liu Jun decisively departed amid the reluctant farewells of these primitive inhabitants.

In the next few hundred years, continued to open up oases, constructing solar panels in the desert.

With experience, Liu Jun’s movements became faster and his techniques more refined.

Later on, on average every hundred years, he would create a nomadic oasis, traveling in the void.

Moreover, he deliberately used time flow, fictional historical discontinuities, destiny memory modification, and various methods to make these newborn civilizations seem to have previous historical memories.

Their fictional histories spanned tens of thousands, millions, or even thousands of years.

In short.

They boasted a long history.

"To think we are just a seed floating in the void desert, a rare oasis!"

"Outside, it’s all a void!"

"For millions of years, we have drifted countless ages, experienced countless internal strife, and had over a hundred historical discontinuities..."

...

A thousand years later.

After observing the emergence of the tenth Bread Tree Civilization, Liu Jun suddenly had an insight.

"It’s about time to research an automated oasis-producing Bread Mother Tree..."

Liu Jun let out a light sigh.

Splitting chaos, creating chaos...

Now he was very proficient at it.

The power of the Divine Object from parallel spaces had even reached new heights under his manipulation!

Those Bread Civilizations developed rapidly, forming systems of bakers.

The Bread Tree was originally a giant tree-shaped loaf of bread.

As long as you consume the essence of the bread tree, swallow it, you can elevate your life level, body realm, just like Immortal Pills that grant ascension!

They are a race that eats bread!

And nomadic in the void is their way of herding bread trees and planting chaos fruits.

Under this cultivation system of the bread tree, their cultivation speed is stronger than Liu Jun imagined!

Now, merely a thousand years have passed...

The first strong cultivator at the Ninth Layer Divine Vortex has appeared in various oases, about to attempt a breakthrough to the Ninth Tier Great Perfection.

Such an achievement, placed in the three thousand worlds, seems unremarkable.

But here, it is already quite good.

"Once I’ve perfected this mother bread tree and made every oasis self-sustaining... I should probably head back."

Liu Jun sighed deeply.

Just letting it grow wild for a few thousand years.

The Immortal Path world behind me might find itself surrounded by a dense bread civilization from outside.

This is the value of Heaven Opening chaos!

It might even bring about a few who reach the Ninth Tier Tenth Layer, helping me explore the legendary Tenth Tier...

Another five hundred years.

Liu Jun, tirelessly laboring, turned into a diligent farmer, finally used his own wisdom to perfect the mother bread tree.

Exhausted, he watched his tree slowly cultivate a new green oasis, finally revealing a hint of a smile.

"Time to go back."

With those words, Liu Jun vanished on the spot.

...

Another five hundred years.

Even with his incredible speed, Liu Jun still took five hundred years to return to his own place.

"Whew!"

Liu Jun took a deep breath, looking slightly fatigued.

He was truly tired!

The amount of work, unbelievably high.

If not for his world-shocking wisdom combined with various divine powers... no one else could have completed such a workload in this time.

"Finally, I can rest."

At this moment, the travel-worn Liu Jun planned to relieve his fatigue properly.

Now he looked back at history.

Discovered that in the years he was away, the Four Treasures Sun Emperor who had just risen back then, was no longer a young man, already reaching the end of his life.

"A mortal dynasty about to pass by again, huh?" Liu Jun murmured.

Merely a few thousand years have passed.

The era truly has changed dramatically.

Liu Jun entered a world of three thousand mortals, a place called Pingxin World.

Here, towering buildings stood, with some cultivating the divine arts of the Magic Era, and others cultivating the methods of the Immortal Path Era.

Equivalent to a mage and a close-combat fighter.

Even more, there were prodigies with vast potential, cultivating both paths simultaneously, walking the legendary Immortal God path.

In this era, between the Twilight of the Gods and the Golden Age of the Immortal Path, the two methods coexist and clash.

Liu Jun walked on the road, noticing many eager swordsmen roaming the jianghu.

Seeing this, Liu Jun lightly sighed, "This era, with longevity, is full of vitality... very good."

The previous era of the cosmos was like a prison, filled with deathly stillness and a pervasive aura of dusk.

This aura of death, for two reasons.

1. Imprisonment.

2. Long lifespan.

Combined, it meant long lifespan in prison.

So, the entire era was filled with a slow pace, with many slacking off, and few willing to push the era forward.

But now it’s different.

Not cultivating?

Death!

Those short-lived strong cultivators, for the sake of longevity, must strive for breakthroughs.

Fierce competition and diligence bring about a flourishing era.

"However, it seems more and more people are cursing Death God Mohrsik."

Liu Jun walked down the street, ears perked, and sighed:

"Now everyone is anxious about longevity, unable to slack off... while being diligent, they often curse Mohrsik here and there."

So pitiful.

With a thought, he entered a tavern, seeing some era’s strong people dining on delicious food, talking about the great matters of the world today at the table.

"Have you heard? The Four Treasures Sun Emperor, the four leaders of the era, are about to die of old age."

"How many years has it been? Not even five thousand, right?"

"Alas, those four were said to have broken into the Immortal Realm, to meet that world of eternal life, seeking a way out."

"And then?"

"Of course, the Immortal Realm refused. Once you step into the Chaos Realm, with chaos in your body, your lifespan starts counting down; the Immortal Realm can’t save you. It’s not about lifespan, but being devoured by chaos."

"Isn’t that so? In today’s era, even those capable of entering the Chaos Realm are stuck at the Ninth Layer of the Ninth Tier, refusing to break through further... immediately ascend to the Immortal Realm! Enjoy a lifetime of immortality!"

Hearing this, Liu Jun slowly picked up some food, lost in thought.

In this era, strong people have two paths.

1. Reach the Ninth Layer of the Ninth Tier, ascend to the Immortal Realm, become an Immortal in the sky, with endless lifespan!

But, you can only become a subordinate of the Divine Spirits in the Immortal Realm, living under their control.

2. Step into the Tenth Layer of the Ninth Tier, the Chaos Realm, living carefree for a lifetime, even the gods in the sky have to call you "Daoist friend!"

But this type of strong person has power as profound as the divine, yet their lifespan is short.

Opt for a fleeting glory for one lifetime, or seek eternal life and live under others in the Immortal Realm?

Now, it has become one of the most hotly debated topics of this era.

"Legend has it, thousands of years ago, before the Death God killed all beings under heaven, extending their lifespans, the strong could live for millions of years... they had limitless lifespan, so bored they committed suicide."

"Yes, that era sounds brilliant just to think about!"

Liu Jun hearing this, found it both amusing and annoying.

People always like to imagine the beautiful things they’ve never had.

Wasn’t ancient history miserable? Where’s the enjoyment compared to now?

The people of this era live so happily, they’ve completely forgotten the pain of imprisonment in the old era.

But soon they will remember the suffering of those years, because a new era of chaos imprisonment is about to come.
