"City Lord Qin, the Mythical Level creatures of Earth are now trapped inside the ruins, struggling to save themselves, and it's highly likely they'll never come out again. If anyone is to be buried with them, it will be those Mythical Level creatures from Earth who will accompany all Earthlings in death."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's eyes widened suddenly, and his face turned ashen.

After listening to the Thorn Fairy's words, he immediately realized something—the news about the ruins that had circulated earlier had been deliberately released by the Sun-Moon Sacred Land.

The purpose was to lure all the Mythical Level experts from Earth into a trap and capture them all at once.

And to think I had previously considered entering the ruins to obtain the Evolution Resources within...

Now it seemed that the enemy had exploited my eagerness to evolve.

Just as Qin Chuan and the others were plunged into despair—

"Boom!"

A massive explosion sounded from the hazardous area in front of City Gate No. 1, the noise traveled over a distance of thousands of miles and reached this battlefield, initially a realm of Legendary Level creatures.

At this moment, all the Living Beings present were captivated by the sound of the explosion, and they each spread their spiritual power in the direction it came from to investigate.

Then, very soon, they all saw a colossal palace suspended in the sky at the location of the sound.

The palace was surrounded by water, and the plaque above its gate bore the clearly inscribed words "Palace of the Water God."

Above the palace, the figure of a delicate young girl floated.

Inside the palace, continuous shouts of excitement could be heard, welcoming the return of the god.

The Palace of Water God?

What is that?

How come I've never heard of it before?

Qin Chuan and other leaders within the city were filled with the same doubts after observing the situation of the palace.

But the incarnation of the Elder Tree, whose actual strength reached the Mythical Level, widened its eyes in an extremely shocked expression.

"Has the Water God actually resurrected?"

As soon as the Elder Tree's incarnation uttered these words, the burnt-black ground around it suddenly oozed with copious amounts of cool groundwater, turning the charred earth into wetlands in an instant.

And it wasn't just here.

The Elder Tree's incarnation spread its spiritual power to sense the land within tens of thousands of miles, and discovered that the surface of the land within this range was also seeping with water, completely transforming into water-rich wetlands.

Moreover, the water level was quickly rising, with the potential to turn the entire expanse of land into an ocean.

Realizing this, the Elder Tree's incarnation immediately shouted to the Thorn Fairy on its body and to an extremely powerful alien from the Land of Oblivion:

"Go, leave this place quickly!"

Hearing this shout, both the Thorn Fairy and the alien from the Land of Oblivion looked puzzled.

However, the incarnation of the Elder Tree didn't bother to explain further and soon its soul escaped at high speed from this place of conflict.

Having lived tens of thousands of years, it knew what the Water God signified—she was one of the Five Elements Gods.

If touched by her water, one's Soul would suffer terrifying contamination, making her an incredibly troublesome ancient deity.

In a very distant primordial era, this fearsome Water God possessed a title that made all living beings tremble with fear—The Contaminated God.

Seeing the decisive escape of the Elder Tree's Soul, the Thorn Fairy and the alien from the Land of Oblivion, despite their confusion, promptly followed suit and fled without hesitation, not daring to linger a moment longer.

As these three powerful beings left, Qin Chuan and others thus snatched back their lives.

"City Lord, what exactly is happening?"

Shangguan Yuehua, pressing on a bloody hole in her chest, asked Qin Chuan with a pale face.

Of all present, Qin Chuan had lived the longest and witnessed the most, making him the most knowledgeable. If anyone understood the current situation, it would undoubtedly be Qin Chuan.

As Shangguan Yuehua voiced her confusion, others also turned their gazes to Qin Chuan, hoping to get answers from him.

However, Qin Chuan disappointed them.

Under their gazes, Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure what is happening either."

He was aware of the two Mythical Level creatures in the Sun-Moon Sacred Land—the Elder Tree and the Flower God.

He also knew of the Mythical Level creature in the Land of Oblivion—the Lord of Silence.

He even knew about the Mythical Level creatures in the powers of the Northern and Eastern Regions.

But he had indeed never heard of the existence known as the "Water God."

Which power's Mythical Level expert was the Water God?

And why did even the Elder Tree fear Her?

Perhaps, only a being at the level of a Province Lord would be privileged enough to know...

Qin Chuan thought to himself.

...

In the depths of an extremely ancient Origin Land ruin,

Qi Qingmo, wearing a Taoist Robe, arrived alone at the site of a tomb exuding an aura of wild antiquity and stopped.

To call it a tomb was not entirely accurate.

A burial mound would be more precise.

As far as the eye could see, there were haphazardly placed tombstones everywhere.

Each one was made from Source Crystals of exceptionally high purity, appearing incredibly lavish.

Qi Qingmo spread her spiritual power, thoroughly sensing the situation beneath each tombstone.

She then found that under every tombstone, there was a well-preserved body buried.

But that was wrong!

They weren't just bodies!

These so-called "bodies" still had a trace of extremely faint vitality within them, preventing the Divine Sense from being eroded by time, and they hadn't truly died.

Simply put, every corpse here has the potential to be resurrected.

This isn't a mass grave; it's a forbidden land where powerful beings are sealed.

Realizing this, Qi Qingmo instantly became cautious.

She could feel that each of the corpses under the tombstones had been extremely powerful in life.

If all these corpses were to resurrect at the same time, she wasn't confident she could handle them on her own.

In such a case, she had to be cautious.

"The Tomb of the Wood God?"

As her spiritual power continued to spread out, Qi Qingmo soon saw a distinctive tombstone in the deepest part of the mass grave.

It was a tombstone made of unknown ore, and the words "Tomb of the Wood God" were carved on it.

Just as Qi Qingmo was curious about what kind of existence the "Wood God" was—

Behind her, a man's angry shout suddenly rang out, "Taoist Robe Woman, let's see where you can run to now!"

Looking in the direction of the voice, one could see three men and a woman rapidly approaching Qi Qingmo, and the biological pressure emanating from all four was extremely strong, with each starting at least at the Great Perfection of the Ninth Order Legendary Level.

"Run?"

Qi Qingmo turned to look at the four attackers and said expressionlessly, "I have never thought of running away."

...

Over forty li from City No. 1's borders.

The Palace of the Water God was suspended high in the sky, continually pouring down cold droplets to the ground below.

Any living being touched by these droplets found themselves dazed, floating in the water, having lost their consciousness.

A Flower Vine Woman, with a Biological Level as high as Epic, was within the watery membrane enveloping the Palace of the Water God.

Under the erosive touch of the droplets, her Divine Sense was completely worn away.

The Flower Vine Woman was under spiritual control, contaminated.

...

The Elder Tree arrived.

The terrifying World Tree.

Qin Chuan and others were originally overwhelming the people from the Sun-Moon Sacred Land and the Land of Oblivion.

But with the appearance of the Elder Tree, the tide of the battle changed in an instant.

Suddenly, the Palace of the Water God appeared, alarming everyone present.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth!

Elder Tree's face changed drastically.

The Water God has revived!

Before falling into a coma, he saw Luo Qianxue take action.

Everyone suspected Luo Qianxue, the sole alien in the team, was the traitor.

They verbally and textually attacked her.

For safety's sake, they wanted to expel her from the team.

But in fact, there was another person who was the traitor.

Luo Qianxue felt extremely aggrieved, having stayed in the team for so long and always giving her best effort, yet she had never been trusted and immediately burst into tears.

Lin Zichen knew Luo Qianxue wasn't the traitor, so he spoke up for her.

Luo Qianxue was being ostracized.

Lin Zichen just casually said something.

It was as if Luo Qianxue remembered something.

She remembered being ostracized in the past and knew she was Bai Xue.

The Earthlings could only abandon their stronghold in the Origin Land and return to defend Earth.

...

Later, Source Crystals were exchanged for Contribution Points, shocking Lin Zichen.

...

Qi Qingmo at the relics.
