Starting with Growing Mushrooms
Chapter 49 - 46: Xu Changsheng Shocked: Was I Born in the Jurassic Period, Not Last Week?
CHAPTER 49: CHAPTER 46: XU CHANGSHENG SHOCKED: WAS I BORN IN THE JURASSIC PERIOD, NOT LAST WEEK?
The information at the upper levels of this world is closed.
Liu Jun didn’t know why such a large adult Saint was still at such a terrible level... Weren’t you born as a super-powered baby, floating by yourself?
But it didn’t stop him from seizing the advantage.
This guy is just too weak.
Decisively probe the memory!
The result was he could only read some surface memories, learning that he was originally an Ancient Saint reborn.
This made Liu Jun’s expression suddenly turn strange.
What is this?
A longevity show-off style?
An Ancient Confucian Saint reborn into the cyber reading era, beating up unruly Confucian disciples?
This routine looks very familiar.
If not for myself, this Transmigrator having a Golden Finger, this guy... should be the protagonist of this world!
Without surprises, I’m afraid it would be me watching him win betting on mock exams, gaining admiration from various bigwigs, showing off at college entrance exams, beating up the school’s small villain Li Chengshan, and finally pushing through all major companies...
However.
Liu Jun has Longevity and Vision, making him the most sensitive in this regard.
"He hasn’t lived life after life, just memories being passed down, equivalent to a generation after generation of Sect Leaders, possessing the memories of the previous generation."
"The Sect Leader of this generation is essentially Xu Changsheng, who accepted that generationally inherited Saint brain, becoming the new Saint."
"Is there such a form? It’s really magical."
"However, I need to use the instruments and equipment of big companies to read all the deep memories."
Liu Jun mused silently.
The laboratory equipment of big companies is professional.
Once, an Angel King directly read memories without pain.
"Forget it."
Liu Jun thought for a moment, secretly using mushrooms to infect his brain.
"From today on, you’re a new mushroom I dreamt of ’being a Jurassic insect.’
"Quickly enter my world and conquer for me!"
...
Night falls.
Xu Changsheng woke up in a daze, opening his eyes again.
He saw a gigantic towering green ancient tree.
Countless tree holes with butterflies flying around, countless vines forming bridges, branches turning into platforms with several tree insects cocooning.
Beautiful, wild, vast.
This was his first impression.
"I, Xu Changsheng, how come?"
He paused momentarily: "Wait, who am I?"
Clearly, he was tampered with by Liu Jun, forgetting some memories at the moment.
He found himself turning into a caterpillar, curiously looking around, dazed.
He began playing with nearby buddies for a while, living very innocently and happily.
BOOM!
Outside, a battle had already commenced.
He heard about an enemy intrusion.
This insect poked its head out and saw a Divine Spirit battling thousands of troops.
Afterward, it brought back a pile of corpses for them to weave.
But the insects were at a loss:
"We acquired the Life Rope Knot of those guys, but we can’t weave?"
"Hands can do it, brains can’t learn?"
"The weaving speed is too slow, difficulty too high?"
...
This period.
Already their Prophet of Eternal Life defeated the invading enemy for the third time.
But their Middle Wisdom was just ordinary intelligence, learning speed very slow.
"Learning to weave their structure, is it that difficult?" Xu Changsheng sighed, "Let me teach you all."
"Ah?"
Hua Baishuang was the first generation Tree of Life brought back from the Elf Forest after the battle by the Prophet, using the Phoenix Emperor to counter the virus, now becoming the new Cangwu Tree.
An Ancient Tree of Life boosted their foundation.
This ancient tree was grateful for the gift in those days, thus receiving help from two gods.
Liu Jun and the Phoenix Emperor naturally appreciated this tree’s hybridization talents, the Phoenix Emperor running to research new fruits.
Cangwu Tree turned into a fruit tree.
Cangwu Tree Hua Baishuang curiously said, "This is simple? I got poisoned back then, I know how fast the brain spun."
"It’s very simple."
Soon, he gained the insects’ support.
But gold will always shine!
His intelligence quickly stood out among the insects.
A month later, even Die Lvxiang appeared personally to examine him, exclaiming:
"Could this be what the Prophet said, a sacred being born once in a hundred billion.... naturally holy?"
Our population base is so small, yet we’re so lucky?
Die Lvxiang, with a heart for talent, began to test him: "How do you think we should defeat those infected by the Wisdom Disaster?"
Xu Changsheng: "Although we obtained their structural drawings, our learning speed is slow, very hard to copy them."
Copying is a classic move for big country competition.
You developed a new aircraft carrier, I’ll secretly study your aircraft carrier.
It’s much simpler.
In the future, this idea was applied to pirated drugs, pirated Intelligent Brains, pirated weaponry... even plagiarism in games and other fields.
We can also copy whatever high-IQ races create, our Middle IQ following suit.
But in reality, they can’t even copy it, a junior high student struggles with graduate-level courses.
Wait...
Why does my brain have such odd thoughts?
What are Intelligent Brains?
I’m just a little insect.
Xu Changsheng, this insect, felt a bit dizzy, but still replied: "I think there are only two solutions."
"First, Creator God, take back this Divine Treasure."
"Once this source of disaster is out of our world, we regain peace."
Die Lvxiang nodded, considering this point.
Unfortunately, waiting for Creator God’s mercy to take back the trial, sparing the creatures, is very unrealistic.
"Tell me the second point," Die Lvxiang said.
Xu Changsheng replied, "The second point lies in our God of Wisdom, Phoenix Emperor; her wisdom is switchable."
"If she absorbs this Divine Object of [High Wisdom], switching it to [Low Wisdom], it would seal the source of this calamity."
"After all, this power shouldn’t appear in this world, opening the brain’s life forbidden zone, touching the taboo field!"
This is also a good method.
Die Lvxiang naturally thought and tried this.
Let the Truth Angels have Phoenix Emperor actively absorb.
But alas.
Phoenix Emperor is incompatible with this Divine Object, unable to absorb it currently.
"As for other methods, let me think about it."
Xu Changsheng said, "Since it’s a divine trial, there must be a solution."
Xu Changsheng is a True Saint, a notch above those mass-produced Pseudo-Saints next door.
Soon, he joined Die Hongjun’s research, and all sorts of new technologies emerged swiftly.
Xu Changsheng also shifted his perspective:
"They’re like a bunch of pseudo-geniuses, providing all sorts of semi-finished species test subjects, while I, the true genius, am responsible for the integration..."
"Isn’t it just like being a research leader with hundreds of thousands of underlings, conducting research?"
He found a new solution.
He began integrating various races to study new solutions.
Die Lvxiang couldn’t help but marvel at the sight, "Such wisdom and talent, life is unequal from birth."
"At this rate, we’ll soon be able to help our God of Longevity!"
Many years later.
Die Lvxiang took him to meet the God of Longevity, the God of Wisdom on the Cangwu Tree.
"I’m taking you to meet the Divine Spirits!" Die Lvxiang said.
Xu Changsheng looked expectant, "Really?"
...
Inside the Divine Hall, Liu Jun was counting his [Racial Cards].
The quality of the equipment dropping lately has been getting better and better.
However.
This tower defense game, each wave of monsters is getting more and more outrageous.
Stronger, more complete, closer to the mythical legends of Titans, Angels, Giant Dragons... various updated versions of creatures, like Plants vs. Zombies, coming wave after wave to devour my brain!
Is this taking me as your race’s dummy to test combat power?
"It’s both an opportunity and a crisis, leaving one both happy and helpless." Suddenly, Liu Jun glanced at the visitor.
His Butterfly Race’s Emperor, bringing a little bug Xu Changsheng.
Are you here?
Hurry and rescue me, I can’t hold out much longer.
With a Saint at hand, there should be hope.
But the matter of bluffing still has to be done.
Liu Jun said mildly:
"Little guy, you’re not bad."
"To think you’re the first divine being born this era, since that’s the case, I shall bestow a blessing."
"Granting you longevity."
Liu Jun decided to reverse the celestial pole.
"From now on, you will have longevity and visions, witnessing the changes of countless eras."
"This is both a blessing and a curse, as you witness friends passing away, the earth overturning, and the myriad laws blooming and fading."
With that, Liu Jun lightly patted Xu Changsheng’s head, tying a butterfly knot.
The immortal caressed my head, granting the butterfly longevity!
Xu Changsheng only felt his head spinning.
"Are the enemies coming again?"
Suddenly, this towering and sacred deity lightly leapt down from the Cangwu Tree and began the war.
The sounds of battle echoed across the sky.
Countless butterflies silently wept.
This god turned his back on the common creatures, protecting the last pure land!
But they grew stronger each time.
If this continues, ten times, thirty times, a hundred times, even the Prophet leading their civilization might not withstand it?
Suddenly, Die Lvxiang watching from a high place, had a sudden flash of insight:
"I’ve found a way, I’ve found a way to solve the Wisdom Disaster!"
...
Crack!
The room brightened with daylight.
On the bed, Xu Changsheng opened his eyes.
"Was that a dream again? Wait, the plot is at a turning point!"
"Forty years in the dream, went through two species extinctions..."
"Why did it cut off at the crucial moment? One god fighting the common creatures alone, Die Lvxiang’s surprised exclamation, what method did he think of to solve the Wisdom Disaster?"
"That period of mythic history was at its climax..."
No, that’s not it!
I was recalling some past life memories from prehistoric cycles.
For him, this is also quite normal, as a Longevity Seeker, there are too many memories, only recalling them as needed.
For instance, being challenged by calligraphy enthusiasts at an exhibition, occasionally recalling calligraphy techniques and face-slapping them, recently earning the appreciation of a senior from the Calligraphy Association.
For instance, yesterday he occasionally recalled some historical secrets, earning the praise of a university history professor online.
Just occasionally.
However, this time he "occasionally" remembered memories of the Jurassic Period...
Xu Changsheng: Huh? Are you serious?
His head buzzed, feeling a little confused.
An incredible thought emerged:
"Could it be, my earliest birth wasn’t last week, but during the Jurassic?"
The more he thought about it, the more silent he became.
As a "Longevity Seeker", his memories across lifetimes were already easily confounded, it’s a hereditary practice initially.
The earlier inherited lives had already blurred.
Blame Liu Jun for being too wicked, making his brain unable to sort out the thoughts clearly.
And in the last scene, he even saw the legendary God of Longevity.
Was my original longevity talent given by him?
He only felt dizzy.
His mind seemed to ushered in thunder, heavy rain, lightning and thunder, countless storms brewing in his memories across lifetimes.
Can’t figure it out.
Really can’t figure it out!
Soon he stopped trying, overthinking would only add to worries, better to think about how to use this opportunity at hand.
After all, previously too, it was through "occasional" recollections each time that he gained opportunities.
This time will be no exception.
"Angel King, this time you will surely come to find me."
"Because, I am from the same era as your Butterfly Race."
"Because, your wife Insect Seventy-seven, didn’t actually die after that, but even transformed into a Truth Angel later..."
"And surely you would want to know the history that followed."
"A terrifying biological explosion, the myriad races surged like waves, akin to wind-swept waves of grain, surging wave after wave, on the Cangwu Tree, the Longevity God oppressed an era, even exterminating race after race, how shocking is this scene?"
"This is a godly war fought to the extreme."
He knew, if this jaw-dropping news were to spread, the whole world would be overturned once again.
His mind shook:
"Afraid the commotion would be greater than the recent farce, even more exaggerated!"
He stood up, pacing back and forth.
Not even responding to the messages from Little Fatty.
Hoping that tonight when he sleeps, he’ll dream again of that distant mythic epic, the long song of time.
