Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 753 - 601: Cycle of Karma

Two opposing divine powers, two utterly different forms of deception.However, turning falsehoods into truths is inclined towards applying to external things, a widespread creation-type deception, a unique kind of speech becoming reality!

While turning truths into falsehoods seems more oriented towards oneself.

Any power exerted on oneself, if I think you are false, then your attack is false!

If I cover my eyes and deceive myself like an ostrich, then the forces applied to me will be nullified.

"This is equivalent to an alternative kind of unbreakable body."

Liu Jun mused, both powers have their strengths.

However, this turning truths into falsehoods doesn’t have the ability to "negate" external things as Liu Jun imagined.

After all.

If I think you are false... you will disappear, cease to exist instantly.

How could such a power exist?

Even if it could really exist, how terrifyingly high would the cause and effect value needed to achieve this be?

Therefore, perhaps this Divine Object can negate external things... but the cost is extremely high, negating oneself is the most practical.

Negating attacks applied to oneself is already an alternative invincible body, and only when one’s cause and effect value is exhausted can they be defeated.

"Yet these two both have immense potential."

Liu Jun’s gaze fell upon the last Divine Object.

[Causality Loop]: Causality loop, everything has a cause, all things are fruits.

Divine Object Introduction:

Loneliness, silence, fear, collapse, despair.

Why do we live?

Since childhood, I’ve been pondering this question.

My name is Yi Yinga, I live within a Creator Giant Beast called "Deep Diver".

We are a rare tenth-tier civilization spanning a thousand light-years, our giant beast resides in the deep sea.

Wandering is our home.

Cannot rise, cannot dive deeper.

Rising means decreasing water pressure, causing the tense flesh of the Creator Giant Beast to start disintegrating!

Why can’t we dive deeper?

Because a thousand light-years is the limit the bubble world can withstand.

Continuing to sink, the Creators’ bodies will continue to expand, they’ll grow stronger and more terrifying...

However.

The bubble world spit out by the Creators will shatter instantly.

We cannot parasitize within the Creators’ world and continue to dive below a thousand light-years.

According to the civilization inference of various ultimate Creators, denser Heaven-Opening Divine Power is required to withstand the super water pressure below a thousand light-years and open a world.

All thousand light-year civilizations are striving.

Everyone is researching denser Heaven-Opening Divine Power.

Some civilizations have managed to hold up to one thousand and one light-years to open a world.

Some have already held up to one thousand and two light-years to open a world.

"But is this effort for one or two light-years meaningful?"

"In the multitudes of light-years of deep sea, our limit is only reaching a thousand light-years."

"Deeper oceans are mysterious, terrifying, vast, profound..."

"The water pressure we experience is like touching a thin cell membrane, no one knows what kind of terrifying giant beasts are hidden in the super seabed!"

"Those giant beasts will also never rise due to water pressure, there lies the cosmos’ ultimate mystery!"

Dives after dives, voyages after voyages.

Until one day, I, Yi Yinga, as the ruler of a civilization, leaped into a certain stagnant thousand light-year ocean and picked up a string.

"Sir, this is an unseen Divine Object, it floated down from above!"

"Not just one, there are many here, the sea above us, the giant beasts of upper civilizations, no one knows what strange transformations occurred, all are producing this bizarre string in large quantities!"

The sky rained strings.

Through researching the dense strings, we found we could optimize Creator civilization more effectively.

However, these strings seem to transmit a mystical energy called cause and effect.

This energy lurks passively within every organism, depositing like inert gas.

"These strings can only form a network of inert gas, but cannot flow effectively..."

"What if we find a way to make this inert energy circulate?"

We began relentless research.

Spent the nation’s efforts, exhausted endless resources, and background, vigorously investing in this great endeavor.

Yet during this period, we occasionally heard some bizarre things.

Like some known thousand light-year eleventh-tier Creator civilization disappearing.

Even when they disappeared, it’s said they were directly dragged up by some mysterious super giant net.

But how is this possible?

That’s the cosmos’ ultimate deep-sea Creator.

Until one day, suddenly a large net instantly covered our deep-sea Creator.

It’s woven from dense cause and effect lines, and there seem to be countless existences above frantically pulling us.

Unable to resist.

Can only be dragged relentlessly upward.

Moreover, the opposing pulling speed is extremely fast.

"Resist quickly!"

"Teleportation!"

"Report to His Majesty, teleportation is impossible, the opposing network seems to isolate such abilities!"

"Then tear open the network!"

"Not good, the network is repairing itself!"

"Everyone, we must absolutely not let this giant net drag us upwards! The higher we go, the more the giant beast crumbles, and the weaker its fighting strength..."

"If we’re dragged to the top, we as the Creator are like a lifeless dead fish, drastically reduced in combat power, unable even to resist!"

We can only resist here; going up would mean being at their mercy.

We drag, resist, struggle.

But obviously, it’s meaningless, the giant net keeps pulling on us, as if thousands upon thousands of Creators are tugging against us in a tug-of-war.

light years.

light years.

The giant beast swells, its structure loosened.

At the brink of life and death, I reflect once more on the meaning of living. Just as collapse is imminent, something suddenly appears in my mind.

The flowing power.

I seem to be able to pry into this power.

"Absorb!"

In an instant, I begin to absorb the cause and effect powers flooding within this fishing net.

Vast amounts of cause and effect powers flow, following the fishing net into my body, spinning wildly, churning like blood.

"Hahaha, this power..."

Yi Ying Haha laughed maniacally, attempting to continuously extract the colossal power of cause and effect from the opposite fishing net, injecting it into the giant beast beneath his feet.

The giant beast receives a new cycle, and its aura surges in an instant.

Yi Ying Haha laughs crazily, looking towards the top of the net, "Now that the problem is resolved, I want to see what is up there, fishing these giant beasts of the deep sea across 1000 light years!"

After saying this, he looks at his other subordinates and says:

"Send our Creator to the deep sea, and then bring out my vehicle!"

Soon, their Creator returns to the 1000-light-year waters and spews out a small fish suitable for the 900-light-year waters.

Just like a large aircraft carrier releasing a small ship.

Blub, blub!

This Creator at 900 light years surfaces to 800 light years, then spews out an even smaller 700-light-year Creator.

And so on, repeatedly.

Each time spewing out Creators to rise, avoiding the restraint of water pressure.

This is precisely the mature ascension route invented by these apex deep sea Creators.

Yet, few apex Creators can achieve this step.

Whoosh—

Until rising to 300 light years, Yi Ying Haha discovers a colossal shell that shakes him to the core, like an endless continent, hovering above.

And in the corners above, there are sailors casting nets crazily in various directions, fishing wildly!

Numerous deep-sea Creators, akin to giant whales, are hauled up and then collectively slaughtered as part of the materials for filling this continent.

This awe-inspiring scene causes Yi Ying Haha’s pupils to contract dramatically: "In this sea, there exists something so mysterious?"

Rise, enter this continent.

He discovers that in this world, there are two terrifying existences confronting each other.

Two Gods of Cause and Effect, one is the God of Faith, Xibo.

The other is the God of Negation formed by a mechanical conglomerate, Akusu.

They confront each other like mortal enemies, constantly slaughtering each other, spurring endless wars.

"And I, possess powers akin to theirs..."

"Moreover, they are in the light, I am in the dark..."

Yi Ying Haha understands in his heart that his power will be the third being.

...

Liu Jun slightly furrows his brow as he watches.

Compared to the other two Divine Objects, this description before him is too vague.

However, it seems to involve mastering the fluidity of Cause and Effect Value?

Liu Jun continuously speculates, calculating, quickly arriving at a rough understanding.

Make false truth, make true truth false, all are tactics...

And tactics are activated with mana.

And this cycle of cause and effect, is it the Great Art of Star Absorption? Absorb your mana?

Or perhaps, the power to control mana?

There might be other functions, but if this thing is not obtained, it might be impossible to test properly.

Liu Jun ponders,

"If making false truth and making true truth false are the techniques of supreme martial arts, then the cycle of cause and effect... is the internal energy."

Choose a technique or choose internal energy?

Liu Jun thinks for a moment, decisively opting for the vaguely described cycle of cause and effect.

"Any deception technique, true or false, isn’t ideal... placing these two opposing Divine Objects against each other, that’s the best!"

"Moreover, this cycle of cause and effect should restrain these two guys..."

"Able to absorb your Cause and Effect Value, steal the deposits you collected from deceiving countless beings."

"Isn’t this precisely suitable for me, the God of Theft?"

Liu Jun feels this is not a choice worthy of hesitation, the optimal solution is quite clear.
