Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Hurricanes.

Earthquakes.

Blizzards.

Magnetic field tumult.

Spatial vibrations…

When the Water God, having achieved Five Elements Unification, stepped through the void and descended above Kyoto University, the intensity of the disasters within a hundred miles suddenly surged, and the entire world was confronted with an apocalypse.

The moment Lin Zichen saw the Water God, every nerve in his body tensed, and he immediately mobilized his Blood Qi Power and spirit, ready to strike.

However, he felt some confusion.

He couldn't understand why the Water God, who had succeeded in unifying the Five Elements, would appear here.

He had already achieved the Five Elements Unification.

Was there anything here that It still desired?

As he pondered this, Shen Qinghan, who rarely spoke up, questioned, "Mythical beings are already capable of achieving immortality, and are already powerful enough. Yet, despite that, why are you willing to risk the destruction of Earth and Origin Land just to go a step further? What meaning does that have?"

"With both the Earth and Origin Land destroyed, you would be the only living being left in the entire world. Wouldn't you feel lonely?"

As Shen Qinghan said these words, her voice sounded weak and devoid of presence.

Yet, the words surprised and astounded Lin Zichen.

He could never have imagined that Shen Qinghan, who had been submissive since childhood, would now dare to question the Water God, who had achieved Five Elements Unification.

This didn't align with her character at all.

"The universe is vast; there are other spaces where living beings exist. I will not be lonely," the Water God replied emotionlessly to Shen Qinghan's challenge.

Of the world's Five Elements Gods representing the cosmic origins, It was the one most devoid of emotions. In order to evolve into a higher form of life, It could sacrifice everything.

Hearing the Water God's answer, Shen Qinghan felt that it was so cruel.

She gathered her courage to look the Water God in the eyes and challenged It again, "Even if there are spaces with other living beings, it won't be easy for you as an outsider to blend in."

"It matters not; I will create a new world," the Water God said coldly.

With that, a "crack" sounded.

Below, Shen Qinghan suddenly turned into an ice sculpture.

Her attempt to rebuke had failed; she was encased in ice by the Water God.

"Han Han!"

Seeing his daughter suddenly turn into an ice sculpture, Xu Meng, who was closest, cried out in panic instinctively.

Quickly regaining her composure, she looked to Lin Zichen for help, "Xiao Chen, please save…"

Before she could finish her sentence, Lin Zichen had already acted, releasing the scorching Blood Qi Power and instantly freeing Shen Qinghan from the ice.

Shen Qinghan, just released from her icy prison, looked somewhat bewildered.

The ice encasement from the Water God had sealed more than her physical body; it had sealed her consciousness as well.

In those brief seconds of being frozen, her awareness was completely halted, and she had no idea what had happened.

"Crack!" Discover stories with empire

Suddenly, another crisp freezing sound echoed.

Just after freeing Shen Qinghan, Lin Zichen immediately found himself turned into an ice sculpture.

But in an instant, Lin Zichen unleashed a boundless and scorching Blood Qi Power, shattering the ice and charging towards the Water God in the sky.

He knew the Water God had just struck him.

Since a great battle was inevitable, it may as well erupt now.

"Pavilion Master, please take the others and leave; take care of them for me!"

As he charged at the Water God, Lin Zichen shouted this to Qi Qingmo.

Qi Qingmo didn't respond verbally but immediately took action, sweeping Shen Qinghan and both their parents into the long sleeves of her Taoist robe and rapidly whisking them away from the battlefield to avoid the cataclysmic conflict that was about to unfold.

No sooner had everyone left than a tremendous commotion erupted behind them, shattering the very air.

Turning her head at the sound, Qi Qingmo saw a vast expanse of flames soaring into the sky.

More accurately, it was a great surge of Blood Qi that dyed the entire sky red.

So powerful!

The strength of this Blood Qi Power was already on the cusp of transcending the confines of mythical beings...

Qi Qingmo, witnessing the eruption of Blood Qi Power from behind and feeling its energy waves, was visibly shaken with shock on her cool and elegant face.

Lin Zichen was evolving too quickly.

In less than two years, his Biological Level had skyrocketed from "High Level" to the current "Great Perfection of the Ninth Order of Mythical Level." Furthermore, the biological pressure he emitted surpassed his own Biological Level, faintly on the verge of surpassing the Mythical category—unfathomable.

…

"Boom… boom… boom!"

In the high skies behind them, thunderous clashes of combat continued to explode non-stop.

One look, and everywhere within sight was enveloped in flames, lighting up the entire land.

At the heart of the flames, Lin Zichen, tightly enveloped by Blood Qi Power, wielded boundless might, punching the Water God again and again.

Each punch he threw bore energy that transcended the mythic threshold.

Where his fists passed, space instantly collapsed, reverberating through the void.

All matter in their path was devoured by the energy from his fists, annihilated into nothingness.

However, these world-shattering attacks, when they struck the Water God, were easily blocked by a sudden flash of Golden Origin energy, without harming It in the slightest.

This was the protective quality of the Golden Origin, with the effect of Vajra Invincible, greatly enhancing defensive capabilities.

At this, Lin Zichen frowned slightly but then steeled his heart and, grinding his teeth, willingly sacrificed Essence Blood without reservation to unleash an unprecedented Blood Qi Strength, carrying a terrifying might capable of completely obliterating space—and struck at the Water God cloaked in golden light.

"Boom!!!"

With that punch, it was as if stars in the universe were exploding; the entire world was instantly filled with a deafening roar, and within a hundred miles, any matter touched by the soundwave was pulverized into dust.

At the moment of the explosion, a slender figure surrounded in golden light was ejected from the conflagration of clashing energies and plummeted to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Almost simultaneously, text notifications appeared in the void.

[You have unleashed a blow that has reached the limit of Earth's carbon-based life.]

[Achievement: Cumulatively matched the limit of Earth's carbon-based life 100 times.]

[Reward: Obtain Biometric Attributes—Multiple Forms.]

[Multiple Forms: Your body is no longer bound by the frailties of Earth's carbon-based flesh, enabling evolution to transcend biological forms.]

[Current Progress: 1/100.]

A new achievement task?

As he read the content in the notifications, Lin Zichen was surprised.

It had been so long since a new achievement task had appeared that he had completely forgotten about it.

His surprise quickly faded, replaced by a sense of slight exhilaration.

99 more times!

He just needed to unleash 99 more full-powered strikes like the one he had just performed, and he would break the limits of Earth's carbon-based life, achieving evolution that spanned across life forms!

By then, he would certainly be able to crush the Water God who had achieved Five Elements Unification!

Ever since the fourth month of his life, struggling to complete [10,000 kicks on the crib] to obtain the Biometric Attribute [Use It or Lose It], he had relied on completing system achievements to grow stronger.

Every Biometric Attribute he had obtained from completing system achievements was so powerful that it could only be described as outrageous, which filled him with confidence in the new Biometric Attribute, Multiple Forms.
