Starting with Growing Mushrooms-Chapter 330 - 255: Sixth Tier Class: Tarot Cards

Time keeps flowing.

Years later, after thoroughly digesting these 300,000 soldiers, and receiving this immense gift of fate, the Goddess of Destiny was satisfied.

"Everything that comes as a huge gift from fate is marked with a clear price in the unseen."

"However, I am destiny itself, this massive heavenly gift comes with no cost!"

The Goddess of Destiny began to boldly execute her plans.

Sixth Tier.

"The era of the vampire aristocracy needs to be revamped."

On this day, she summoned seventy-eight Tarot card emissaries and played the next round of the symphony of fate.

La la la~

As the endless music covered the entire Ananke Continent, the world began to twist again.

This time, the world’s structure was not reshaped; valleys remained valleys, rivers remained rivers.

The only change was in the humans.

After the vampire dynasty, a second system emerged.

The card battle system!

The 78 Tarot cards of the Shadow Demon King Arcana were not only used for divination.

They also possessed the ability to fight.

"Based on the Divine Powers of the shadow, people will use Tarot cards for battle!"

With a majestic voice of destiny resounding across the land, like morning light spreading across the human world, the Tarot era’s realm version had appeared.

Previously, she had not created this system because the foundation was insufficient.

It’s important to know, she can weave destiny but cannot create it out of thin air.

The future she creates is all a predicted future.

If there weren’t enough strong individuals in this era, no matter how she wove it, there wouldn’t be a transformative level of civilizational explosion.

Just like a pot of wild grass soup, no matter how the chef simmers it, it can’t become a gourmet feast.

But now these 300,000 top-tier strong individuals are enough for the Goddess of Destiny to use them as materials to weave their fate!

The Goddess of Destiny spoke lightly:

"Vampires feed on vital blood, which can continually enhance the Divine Era."

"And the essential structure of vital blood is the Sixth Tier’s ’ether’ and ’baby essence’ condensing together, enhancing each Divine Era level through feeding!"

"I will turn the Tarot cards into a power that condenses vital blood."

"Since it’s an era of feeding on others, feeding on blood, why not feed on cards?"

The era was thus changed.

This seems like covering one’s ears, changing feeding on blood to feeding on cards.

However!

Feeding on blood belongs to a pastoral slave society, where noble vampires cultivate a group of blood slaves.

Even the gods were no exception.

Now the gods’ blood-feeding also cultivated those 300,000 soldiers into blood slaves.

This does not align with the Goddess of Destiny’s concept of "fate freedom" and "striving to change fate."

She wants everyone to be as equal as possible.

Born in the lower strata, she knows the hardships of ordinary people like herself, although careless and outgoing, she always stands firmly from the perspective of ordinary people.

Because she is the Goddess of Destiny, representing the destiny of most people.

And most people are ordinary people!

The blood-feeding slave system is extremely unequal, an era of slave owners and slaves.

Thus, she created the Tarot card battle, where through combat, one could plunder the opponent’s cards to grow stronger.

And the strong will reproduce... No, they will use ’ether’ and ’baby essence’ to nurture cards.

Each card embodies the power of their own Divine Era!

If you are in the Tenth Divine Era, you will have ten Tarot cards.

Through battles, you will lose or gain a Tarot card, thereby enhancing or lowering your Divine Era level.

When Liu Jun saw the changed world, he was a bit surprised and couldn’t help but comment:

"It may look like only changing from having children to having cards... but the technical skill involved is astoundingly high."

"You snatch my child, I snatch your child?"

"Previously it was exchanging fathers for a kill, now a new form of exchanging children for food?"

"Sixth Tier, even after several changes, still looks so bizarre."

"However, the cards nurtured have no life, they are considered dead objects, which is already quite good."

This is equivalent to using existing Gods’ Law to reshape a world rule, constructing an environment to break through the Sixth Tier.

Seeing this, the currently Fifth Tier Peak Liu Jun felt a bit tempted,

"Battle cards, to be honest, align a bit with my aesthetics."

"Theoretically, now with seventy-eight Tarot cards, the highest can reach seventy-eight Divine Eras, possessing seventy-eight Tarot cards."

Once crossing into the Sixth Tier, your race and profession are selected.

Currently, with Liu Jun’s deductions for each era, two professions have emerged.

[Blood Clan]: Reproduce Sixth Tier offspring, rearing them to feed on blood, enhancing their own Divine Era level.

[Tarot Card]: Reproduce cards infused with divine power, earning others’ Tarot cards through dueling, enhancing their own Divine Era level.

These two Sixth Tier professions still cannot change the Sixth Tier nature of "birth."

But they both have different enhancement paths.

Because the Sixth Tier is the ultimate fusion of soul and flesh, altering the essence of life.

Therefore, once entering this realm, it’s nearly impossible to alter your race profession.

Destiny cannot change race, because destiny changes your personality and memory...

Your race is that of a pig; even if you had a human’s memory implanted, you would simply think of yourself as a human’s pig.

The mysterious cannot change your race, as it merely awakens the wisdom of a certain organ or dead object within you; it isn’t truly the power to speak and make it so.

Understand this.

1~5 Tiers.

6~? Tiers.

The Sixth Tier is equivalent to the initial realm of humans.

The Sixth Tier allows you to choose an initial race.

"Unless in the future, a Divine Object truly capable of altering the structural essence of life’s race appears, it’s unlikely the fundamental attributes can be changed."

"That’s why I was so cautious before."

Liu Jun mused,

Anyway, prior to this, Liu Jun was at the Fifth Tier Peak, capable of locking in the initial combat strength of a pseudo-Sixth Tier through some tricks, and that was barely sufficient.

Why risk one’s future as a joke?

Casually breakthrough into a flawed, trashy race, like the blood race, loudly proclaiming to no longer be human and becoming a vampire.

Then, try to concoct a Divine Object, like that Stone Mask some Evolution Demon King mocked before, using Evolutionary Divine Power to complete the vampire’s defects and become the ultimate life form?

Isn’t that just asking for trouble?

Brewing a potion to create a Divine Object inherently has vast randomness, who could guarantee a Divine Object that could alter one’s race structure would appear?

As for the current gods, you ask?

As blood race, can they still be compatible with Tarot cards?

They actually can.

The two merged, a vampire diviner.

But the power is too fragmented, and the strength of vampires as a race is inherently low; this current batch of gods is pretty much crippled.

Draining blood while playing cards...

Just imagining it feels incongruous.

"Honestly, the retreat of God and the rise of destiny is the scene I’ve been anticipating."

"After all, my own God cannot sacrifice potential to break through the Sixth Tier, let alone suppress the Sixth Tier era."

"I have to find a new King of Gods for the era, to help me deduce the Sixth Tier, to lead the Sixth Tier towards finding a perfect class for the Sixth Tier."

And who would this person be?

The Goddess of Destiny.

What?

Are you saying the Goddess of Destiny is now also a blood race with Tarot cards, already wasted?

Has she ever truly risen?

Destiny rendered her battle power virtually zero, and she never engaged in direct combat.

She was always a combat weakling, so her race choice made no difference to her.

Therefore, she doesn’t care if her realm is stable.

Such a resource-wasting weakling spent a hundred years remaining mortal, forcefully advancing by devouring resources.

And, it wasn’t just from taking drugs and getting stronger.

If drugs could make one stronger, there would have been a plethora of strong individuals already.

Next door, a certain immortal herb couldn’t advance in aptitude, remaining at the Fourth Tier despite years of cultivation.

If destiny hadn’t helped her avoid numerous demon path mishaps, allowing her to see countless breakthrough opportunities, she couldn’t possibly have reached the Sixth Tier.

One could only say the Goddess of Destiny is a lucky, wasteful main character template of cultivation, a human waste, but fortunate encounters abound wherever she goes.

The only regret Liu Jun had was with the current gods.

They were already making every effort to grow stronger, with sufficient aptitude, yet given the situation, they were soon to be eliminated...

Because their current racial potential is too pathetic!

They surely would be pushed to their demise on the beach by the incoming tide, perhaps replaced by a new generation of gods.

But couldn’t they foresee this?

They also wanted to halt at the realm like God, but the era pushed them forward, how could they not break through?

Not breaking through the trash Sixth Tier, they would have been beaten to death outside by Divine Era heroes.

"The times are always such."

"No matter how brilliant you are, as a pioneer of an era, opening new grounds, you’d be wounds all over, taking wrong paths, paying the price to pave the way for those who come after."

Liu Jun understood that this was dictated by the cycles of the era; no one could remain immortal.

Setting these aside, the Goddess of Destiny indeed devised a decent career for herself.

Condensing the power of one Divine Era after another into cards.

He didn’t fear destiny controlling this Tarot card class because this power, while primarily fate-driven...

However, if I weren’t struck by an amnesiac attack, dealing with you normally, wouldn’t the Destiny Divine Power within my God’s body still be yours, Goddess of Destiny?

Call out to it and see if it answers you.

It had long become my God’s new Apocalypse Knight: Knight of Destiny.

Don’t underestimate the power of the mystical.

It grows strong when encountering strength.

Why is God almighty?

Because though not truly omnipotent, your divine power would turn into fairies, becoming my subordinates.

Your divine power becomes my divine power.

Therefore, God would never fall behind in any version, growing strong in the face of strength.

Liu Jun pondered and decided to prioritize stability:

"This Tarot card career is decent enough for me to break through the Sixth Tier, but perhaps I could still wait for a bit longer."
