Chapter 303: Chapter 234: New Talent, Three Choices

“He’s here.”

Looking up at the unbelievably shocking scene in the sky.

Both Cain and Behemoth were eagerly anticipating.

A new generation of talents emerges, as the strong of the new era, it’s their first time witnessing the Divine Trial and the legendary Creator God.

Isn’t this the very moment they snuck in here for?

“I want to take their place!”

With difficulty, his gaze bypassed the Creator God as Cain looked towards the deities bursting with five-colored divine power, and the leading God…

The flame called ambition in his heart kept expanding!

…

Liu Jun opened the pot, looking down at the gods with varied expressions.

He was already accustomed to this scene; every time, there were always ambitious guys staring at him.

His gaze fell on Cain and Behemoth, then he carefully checked the crowd, confirming that Arthur, Adam, and Eve were indeed absent.

It seems, Arthur wasn’t pretending to be dead; he truly was a hero.

As for Adam and Eve?

Where did they take the Box of Immortality?

Could they really have gone to the distant stars, far from home?

“How disappointing,” Liu Jun somewhat regretfully thought.

Didn’t you guys sneak in pretending to be among the corpses to compete?

This couple appears to lack ambition.

No matter how smart and talented, honest people, what use is it?

Character decides everything.

Setting aside these jumbled thoughts, Liu Jun began to focus on this round of Mushroom Soup.

Three Divine Objects of various shapes floated around.

After a quick scan, Liu Jun expressed regret, “This time, there is no Final Divine Object.”

Although disappointed, he knew it was normal.

Last time, it took the accumulation of the previous three Divine Object series to finally release the fourth one.

It’s not surprising that there isn’t one this time.

Mushroom One.

[Upright Shadow]: People see your shadow, but not you.

Liu Jun was startled, realizing the Vanish series had indeed arrived.

What on earth is this?

The Concealment Series currently has two.

[Low Lurking]: Conceals various energies, bacteria, and cultivation within, but this is merely akin to a method of hidden cultivation; others can still see you.

[Vanish]: Unless their level is far above yours, they cannot see you.

But this third sequence, why can others now see my shadow?

Has its functionality diminished?

Liu Jun was somewhat puzzled, pondering slightly, he looked towards the introduction.

Introduction:

Initially, a beautiful high school girl discovered her presence felt very weak.

At school, after class, everyone ignored her.

This phenomenon worsened; parents and teachers gradually ignored her, even forgetting she existed as a student or a daughter.

Returning home, there was no meal left for her.

At school, while classmates dated and laughed, she seemed completely forgotten.

“Boss, I’d like a loaf of bread.”

In front of the shop, the owner did not respond.

“How am I supposed to eat in the future?” the girl broke down, “If home doesn’t make meals for me, will I have to steal to eat?”

But she soon realized she need not worry.

Something even more terrifying happened.

She began to be forgotten by hunger.

“I’m not hungry?”

“Then surely I must need the bathroom.”

But more horrifying things began to happen.

She started to be forgotten by excretion.

She was forgotten by sight.

Forgotten by perception.

Forgotten by hunger.

Forgotten by excretion…

“What kind of monster am I?” she squatted on the ground, in utter agony.

Sunlight shone upon her, and she discovered she actually cast a shadow.

She hadn’t been forgotten by her shadow!

This became her only anchor in reality, anchoring her existence, preventing her from completely losing herself, being forgotten by the forgotten.

“The shadow is my only evidence of being alive.”

“Thank goodness for you, thank goodness!”

Yet, she was still in immense pain, unbearably lonely.

In despair, she wished for everyone to be like her; then something strange happened, her low presence began to spread.

“Ah, why are there no people on the streets?”

“Why is there no one in the classroom either?”

Humans began to panic, realizing it seemed like only they were left in the world.

But they soon discovered others weren’t gone; their shadows were left behind.

On the streets, shadows densely packed wandered aimlessly.

Even bumping into each other, due to the conceptual absence of presence, they felt as though they hadn’t collided.

Like being hypnotized, whatever was done, they instinctively forgot the other.

Thus, the world became a realm of shadows.

Ten years later.

People couldn’t see or sense each other, only communicating through shadows.

Each person an island, each became socially anxious.

Even face-to-face, they could only communicate through texting.

Despair, numbness, loneliness, the main themes of this era.

Every day, there were suicides.

Luckily, they haven’t been forgotten by death yet.

Twenty years later.

The girl finally controlled some of her abilities, “We cannot be forgotten by fertility!”

Thus, fertility was remembered.

But men and women could no longer see each other. Humans, through special means, through test-tube babies, were breeding in isolation.

“We have new hope.”

Only then did a new generation of people begin to be born.

Because they couldn’t see anyone from birth, only the shadows of their peers, the new generation began to not consider themselves human.

We are phantoms.

We are the race of shadows.

They are forgotten by the world, spurned by hunger, and do not need to excrete.

——We are the forgotten.

…

Liu Jun saw this and raised his eyebrows.

Previously, Liu Jun thought, since I’m already invisible, leaving me a shadow is like covering my ears while stealing a bell, isn’t it?

Now Liu Jun instead feels that it’s great to leave him a shadow!

It’s an anchor point in reality, so you don’t completely lose yourself in reality.

Liu Jun thought for a while, feeling that this thing is a bit scary, causing a conceptual-level disaster.

“Pending!”

He looked at the next one.

[Mushroom Soup Wine Jug]: The golden radiation light turns into water.

Introduction:

People discovered a meteorite falling from the sky, with an ancient-patterned jug inside.

“There’s something in this meteorite!”

In the lab, people found that the jug continually produced a type of distiller’s grains.

As long as a living being consumes these grains, once exposed to radiation, they would melt into fine wine.

“Perfect, absolutely perfect!”

“As long as animals take these grains, then get irradiated, they’ll turn into exquisite nectar! Drinking it extends life!”

The rich started to act. They began feeding these grains to pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep, then irradiated them with various frequencies of strong radiation.

Ow!

Owow!

Those animals melted with a scream, turning into liquid.

The rich had the experimenters carefully collect the liquid, considering it as a supreme wine, drinking it in one gulp.

“Good! So good!”

But gradually they became unsatisfied.

Animals were not enough anymore; their eyes turned to higher beings, humans.

Some death row prisoners were sent, they took the grains, and then were irradiated, turning into fine wine.

The rich drank, their skin became delicate, genetic defects were repaired, making them young.

They seemed to absorb each other’s life sequences.

“Great, as long as we absorb the wine of these animals, combining all beings, we will become the ultimate life!”

“No, we will become dragons! Absorbing the advantages of other animals, isn’t that becoming dragons?”

The rich continued their experiments.

But things took an unexpected turn; an insider leaked their base, and countless other forces came to seize it.

During the plundering, the jug fell into the local reservoir.

The city’s tap water was contaminated by the jug.

That day, the most horrifying event also occurred.

The broadcast appeared on TV:

[Warning, an unknown virus is contaminating the city’s reservoir, do not drink the toxic tap water!]

But it was too late.

Countless humans who drank the grains walked out to bask in the sun, suffering mild ultraviolet radiation, although not to the extent of melting into fine wine.

But skin puppets turned into irrational beasts.

“The ultraviolet radiation was too low, insufficient to melt them into fine wine, only causing their skin to fester, turning them into zombies.”

“These beasts instinctively prey on humans.”

“It’s over!”

The TV broadcast again.

[A species known as zombies has begun spreading in the city, please note the following points.]

[1. Drinking the virus-laden tap water or being bitten by a zombie will turn you into a virus carrier, do not go outside to be exposed to sunlight, otherwise, you will immediately become a zombie.]

[2. Zombies are extremely difficult to kill, afraid of strong radiation. After being irradiated with strong radiation, a small wine glass will condense in their heads, containing fine wine, drinking it can lead to evolution.]

The virus spread in the reservoir.

Some brave ones who killed zombies hunted the crystal core wine glasses, drank the fine wine, and became known as evolutionaries!

Some rich people saw the mutations in this city and decided to spread the virus worldwide.

“Hahaha, since it’s already like this.”

“If the entire world is used to brew wine, what kind of ultimate fine wine would appear?”

“Hahaha, yes, those evolutionaries who drank the fine wine could also be used to continue brewing!”

“Every strong person can brew wine, gathering once, one thousand into ten, ten into one, the resulting fine wine must be the ultimate wine of immortality!”

The zombie virus outbreak occurred.

A year later, cities everywhere turned into ruins, and new humans known as evolutionaries emerged.

Evolutionaries killed each other, forcing the other to consume grains, infecting with the virus, and brewing wine anew.

In their constant mutual poisoning, the ultimate fine wine finally emerged.

“Those who drink the fine wine gain immortality!”

Countless strong ones leaped up at the last moment.

A new era began an unknown Chapter.

…

“Is it a series?”

Liu Jun saw this and already guessed.

Evolution Series.

One is the radiation light.

Now this one is the wine jar.

If the people who ate the grains were irradiated with the evolutionary divine radiation, turning into fine wine?

These are two divine objects, perfectly connected.

Or rather, the evolution sequence was designed to work together.

Wouldn’t all four of the evolutionary divine objects be the four great culinary tools?

“But just an introduction to zombies doesn’t reveal much, probably needs some specific experiment.”

Liu Jun was already accustomed to these simple introductions hiding much key information.
