CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 39: DIVINE PUNISHMENT, UNLOCKING THE SHACKLES OF WISDOM

Found you, Insect Seventy-seven.

Quite good at hiding, aren’t you?

On the western mushroom racks, Liu Jun carefully sorted through them and finally discovered this mushroom that seemed to possess hidden abilities.

The reason why Insect Seventy-seven was not discovered during the previous mushroom sorting.

Is because Liu Jun can’t use One Heart, Many Uses, he’s just a third-tier newbie who hasn’t mastered any tricks.

There’s no way to meticulously check a large number of mushrooms one by one.

Secondly, the

opponent’s appearance still resembles an ordinary round ball of Little Angel, naturally overlooked.

But upon closer inspection now,

one would discover that within this round ball with tiny wings, a beautiful black-winged Angel maiden is curled up hugging her knees.

"Sleeping, is she?"

Liu Jun watched this scene, frowning slightly.

A doubt arose in his mind.

How did she fake her death?

Back then, as the Creator God, he overlooked the battle from on high and witnessed her death firsthand!

Upon a closer look at the sleeping Insect Seventy-seven in the black coffin, the truth of the entire event came to light.

Insect Seventy-seven truly died.

There were no methods prepared to fake death and escape, she sincerely wanted to accompany her husband and a few close friends, ending her life together.

There was indeed nothing sordid or filthy about her means.

She even felt a slight sense of guilt back then.

But the unexpected happened.

At the moment of death, due to calculation and lifelong hatred, Insect Seventy-seven unintentionally bonded with another [High Wisdom].

She was adept at scheming in life, a peculiar case of "Wisdom Hurts," and thus she fused with it.

Ordinarily, if other [Divine Objects] were to fuse with a corpse, nothing would happen.

However, [High Wisdom] integrating with a corpse was different.

The Wisdom Series can endow an inanimate object with mysterious abilities like "Enlightenment," "Awakening," "Demon Transformation."

Previously, [Low Wisdom] had enlightened a soulless cloned brain Amber Swallowtail Butterfly, gradually giving birth to Low Spirit Intelligence!

Now it’s the same principle.

Insect Seventy-seven died, but her corpse was fused with High Wisdom, re-enlightened, and wisdom was reborn.

This is the truth of everything!

Upon understanding all this, Liu Jun felt relieved:

"Seems I misunderstood Insect Seventy-seven; she has principles, distinguishes clearly between right and wrong, and only seeks revenge on Die Hongjun, fearing to involve other clansmen."

Liu Jun suddenly felt he should trust his cultivated little mushrooms more.

And trust his educational level.

He shortly shifted his thoughts:

"I wondered why I couldn’t find High Wisdom, turns out I took one, and you, husband and wife, each took one."

"Two butterflies intending to die for love, one [Deep Love is not Long-lived] went to the future, the other, High Wisdom, managed to live a second life grasping [Wisdom Hurts]."

Liu Jun found destiny to be so fascinating.

Wisdom, this entity, is shapeless and invisible; previously, Liu Jun did not know who had consumed it.

Unless Liu Jun reaches the next 100% and selects [High Wisdom] while choosing prowess, only then can the hidden mushroom in the Mushroom Soup be retrieved.

"However, [High Wisdom] would rather choose Insect Seventy-seven than our [Low Wisdom] and [Middle Wisdom] God of Wisdom?"

Liu Jun pitied a certain fool.

...

In a crypt.

Raphael, the child of the Angel King and Angel Queen and the next heir, quietly stood before his mother’s coffin.

Today was the anniversary of his father and mother’s passing.

"So many years have passed."

Raphael wove memorial ribbons with his own hands, reminiscing about the events of these years.

Back then,

his mother had them fake their deaths to escape, not out of deliberation.

It was because they were assassinated under the Cangwu Tree and were seen reappearing in the Angel Race after some time. How could the gods perceive this?

So they had to hide their identities, waiting for their father, mother, and all elder generations to pass before re-emerging.

With Raphael himself, personally repenting before the god on the tree, explaining the sins committed by his mother!

Originally, after the battle with the Creator God, this batch of fake-death young angels should have appeared.

Sadly, an unexpected event occurred.

His mother mysteriously obtained a treasure of the Divine Trial and was resurrected!

This disrupted their plan of returning to the family.

He remembered that day, his resurrected mother with wings turned black,

After awakening, she seemed to have a changed personality.

She grew more intelligent, more insightful, and those eyes seemed to say.

——What in this foolish world is worth my pondering?

Smart.

Extremely smart.

Momentarily, Raphael felt.

This truly is the God of Wisdom.

He recalled the Prophet informing that there exist extraordinary beings in the world: Innate Saints.

They are wise elders from the moment they are born, great pioneers capable of leading civilization forward alone!

After her resurrection, with a gaze of compassion, his mother looked at them:

"Now, encase me with the most solid wood, bury me in the deepest soil, never to touch me again."

"You must now stay away from me because you’ve nearly been... infected by my wisdom."

"Perhaps this, is the Creator God’s punishment upon us for our earthly existence."

"In our pursuit of power, He granted us enough to destroy the world, destroy ourselves."

"Never open my coffin again; doing so would unleash the cataclysm of destruction, leading to your madness, obsession, insanity..."

His mother lived.

Yet she believed she needed to die for the sake of the entire Butterfly Race.

She immediately required all core members to bury her in the most meticulous manner; she would spend a lifetime personally suppressing this [Divine Object].
