It was like an imperial palace where everyone had vanished, eerily empty.

But what was particularly special were the murals carved into the walls of the palace.

The content of the murals was extraordinarily consistent.

All depicted a group of powerful aquatic creatures prostrating before a mysterious woman lying in a seashell.

Could this palace be related to the mysterious underwater relic once researched by the former dean?

Lin Zichen thought of this first.

Thinking this, he swam towards the wall and began to examine the contents of each mural closely.

He wanted to identify the woman in the murals to see if she matched any of the fairy tales about immortal masters.

But after looking for a long time, he came up empty-handed.

"Lin Zi, swim over there. There's a very strange aquatic plant growing and the teleportation array I just mentioned is also there," said Shen Qinghan when she saw that Lin Zichen had almost finished looking at the murals.

After hearing this, Lin Zichen didn't care to look at the murals anymore, and said to Shen Qinghan, "Take me there."

"Okay."

Shen Qinghan replied tersely.

Swiftly, both of their bodies almost completely elementalized in the water and surged toward a secret chamber up ahead.

One relied on a special physique, and the other on the "Blessing of Melting Water."

Under Shen Qinghan's guidance.

In just a moment.

Lin Zichen arrived in a secret chamber.

The chamber was also very spacious, but inside there was a teleportation array emitting a pale blue light, and a purplish aquatic plant.

Lin Zichen's interest in the teleportation array was far less than his interest in the aquatic plant.

The moment he saw the plant, all his attention was drawn to it.

Because within the plant, he saw two fruits shimmering with purplish hues, as big as fists, with their fruit peels enveloped in strands of purple mist, looking quite extraordinary.

"Can those two fruits be picked?"

Lin Zichen turned to Shen Qinghan and asked.

Although Shen Qinghan might not be the owner of this palace, she was now able to control it, so it made sense to ask her.

Unfortunately, Shen Qinghan, with her timid personality, did not dare to guarantee anything and simply shook her head, saying, "I don't know."

Seeing this, Lin Zichen didn't ask further and chose to directly use his mind to telekinetically attract the two glittering fruits from the mysterious aquatic plant into his hand.

Even though they were enveloped in a purple mist on the outside.

The fruits themselves appeared to be conspicuous and noble golden fruits.

He tried to sense the energy contained within the fruit pulp.

It was extravagant.

Like an endless ocean, boundless.

If there were no surprises, this was definitely an extremely high-value evolutionary treasure, the kind that could greatly accelerate evolution upon consumption.

After spending some time examining the fruit in his hand.

Stay updated with empire

Lin Zichen handed one of the fruits to Shen Qinghan and said, "Let's each eat one."

"Okay."

Shen Qinghan responded.

Then, without saying anything more, they opened their mouths and sent the golden fruits into their mouths.

The fruit melted upon entering the mouth, turning into streams of golden warmth that quickly flowed through every part of Lin Zichen's and Shen Qinghan's bodies, nourishing every cell.

At that moment, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan could both distinctly feel their bodies being rapidly strengthened.

The acupoints that required impact to be opened were now opening one after another on their own.

Brain Aperture.

Heart Aperture.

Body Aperture.

All were opening.

In just the blink of an eye, the number of acupoints that opened had multiplied several times.

The strength of their Qi-Blood and their Spiritual Strength began to experience exponential growth.

[Your Biological Level has successfully evolved from "High Level Ninth Order" to "Rare First Order"]

[Your Biological Level has successfully evolved from "Rare First Order" to "Rare Second Order"]

[Your Biological Level has successfully evolved from "Rare Second Order" to "Rare Third Order"]

Lin Zichen hadn't even prepared for evolution when a barrage of notifications about his Biological Level breaking through kept flashing through the void, dazzling him and making it all feel surreal.

Had he actually evolved?

And three levels at once!

Just what level of heavenly treasure were those golden fruits?

How could their effects be so astonishing?

At that moment, Lin Zichen experienced for the first time the immense power of the Origin Land.

The evolution resources were too exaggerated.

Treasures were everywhere.

On Earth, one could tire themselves to death evolving for a hundred years, yet it might not compare to a chance encounter in the Origin Land.

"Lin Zi, I've evolved to the Rare Level!"

"And I also progressed through three levels in succession, reaching Second Order Rare!"

"What about you, did the same thing happen to you?"

Shen Qinghan's pretty face flushed with a deep red, and her expression was especially excited, even more so than when she was in bed.

After all, evolving from a high-level creature to a Rare Level creature was a qualitative leap.

Truly evolving from an amphibious creature to a perfect triumvirate creature capable of navigating sea, land, and air.

She had gained the power of flight control.

"Yes, I also evolved three levels, from High Level Ninth Order to Rare Third Order," Lin Zichen said, his expression remaining fairly calm.

But inside, his heart was already thumping with excitement, eager to test his newfound strength.

He steadied his emotions slightly,

and then Lin Zichen's gaze fell upon the Teleportation Array nearby.

After taking a good look, he asked Shen Qinghan, "How do you use this Teleportation Array?"

"It's quite simple,"

Shen Qinghan said with a smile, "You just need to inject spiritual power into the Teleportation Array, and then you can activate the Array and choose your destination."

Lin Zichen hadn't expected it to be so simple and said with some anticipation, "Show me how it's done."

"Okay."

Shen Qinghan said and then walked towards the Teleportation Array to inject it with spiritual power, wanting to demonstrate for Lin Zichen.

But before she could even get there,

the Teleportation Array suddenly lit up on its own, bursting into a brilliant light.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan felt a flash of white before their eyes.

The next second, they were both surprised to find themselves back on the chaotic battlefield located between the safe zone and the danger zone.

The scene on the battlefield at that moment was worlds apart from the one they had left.

A glance revealed limbs and remains everywhere.

The dead were mostly high-level creatures.

The ground was soaked with blood, presenting a grisly sight.

Shen Qinghan felt sick to her stomach at the sight of the bloody scene before her.

But she quickly adjusted, forcing herself to adapt to the carnage filled with the stench of blood.

"Han Han, did you choose to teleport us here just now?" Lin Zichen asked her.

He hadn't seen Shen Qinghan inject any spiritual power into the Teleportation Array back in the palace's secret chamber before it started glowing on its own.

This puzzled him.

Upon hearing this, it dawned on Shen Qinghan what had happened, and she quickly shook her head, "It wasn't me. I hadn't even had a chance to inject spiritual power into the Teleportation Array yet; I have no idea what happened."

Hearing her response, Lin Zichen couldn't help but frown slightly.

He had thought the palace was unclaimed territory and that Shen Qinghan had become its mistress by chance.

But the fact that the Teleportation Array had activated on its own suggested otherwise: the palace didn't seem to be unclaimed.

Who had teleported us out?

Had we been transported in previously just so that the two golden fruits could be delivered to our mouths and assist us in our evolution?

Who the hell was behind this?

Several questions emerged in Lin Zichen's mind.

But before he could figure it out, the ever-changing battlefield quickly attracted enemies who set their sights on him and Shen Qinghan.

"Kid, so you're here. It looks like the Flower Fairy's reward is mine!"

A thick black fog came flying from ahead, and within it, a voice tinged with a whisper of annihilation.

It was an Alien from the Land of Oblivion!

Lin Zichen's expression turned solemn.

He could sense that the attacking Alien from the Land of Oblivion was not as strong as him.

However, what the Alien mentioned about the "Flower Fairy's reward" caught his extra attention.

What did he mean by that?

Experience flight control.

...

Powerful hands slaughtering on the ground.

Those with the powerful hands soon died.

Killing the ones with the powerful hands.
