"Lin Zi, I can't understand why I can keep pace with you now when my evolutionary talent has always been far inferior to yours ever since we were children,"

Shen Qinghan, with her peach-blossom eyes brimming with moisture, looked at Lin Zichen and asked such a question.

Lin Zichen replied without hesitation, "Perhaps it's because as you've grown older, your special physique has further developed."

Shen Qinghan nodded in agreement, then spoke again, "Then what about you, Lin Zi? Why is your evolutionary talent so incredible? I can't figure it out."

"Maybe it's a gene mutation."

Lin Zichen didn't know how to explain to Shen Qinghan that he was actually a transmigrator with a cheat system, so he could only brush it off with gene mutation.

Shen Qinghan did not doubt Lin Zichen's words.

She had trusted Lin Zichen wholeheartedly ever since they were young and felt that Lin Zichen would definitely not lie to her.

If Lin Zichen was going to deceive her, she hoped it would be for a lifetime.

"Lin Zi, do you think... maybe you also have some sort of special inheritance like me, but you just don't know it?"

Shen Qinghan's eyes twinkled as she suddenly voiced this speculation.

Lin Zichen didn't immediately answer the question, but fell into deep thought.

Special inheritance?

Does the system count as an inheritance?

It doesn't seem like it.

Also, the extent of mine and Han Han's evolutionary progression seems to be incredibly huge.

Just by consuming a dozen or so Rare Level Exotic Fruits, our Biological Level directly rose by three.

For others, it might be hard to even increase by one level.

Han Han's significant change in evolutionary progression is because she has the Water God's inheritance.

But what about me?

Why can my evolutionary progress be so vast?

Among the Biometric Attributes awarded by the system, there is nothing that enhances the magnitude of evolutionary progression.

Could it be... as Han Han suggested, I do have an inheritance within me that I just don't know about?

Say, Physical Sanctification?

Lin Zichen's thoughts were myriad.

...

In the blink of an eye,

a half-month passed by.

In the past half-month, nobody from the city ventured out except for those whose jobs required them to explore.

Everyone remained in the city to recuperate.

Although the previous battle ended quite quickly, there were still many powerful beings who were injured and needed time to recover.

During this period, Qin Chuan brought Evolution Resources to Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan.

For Shen Qinghan, he brought Water Attribute Evolution Resources, like Netherworld Red Spider Lilies, Dusk Water Fairy Herbs, Ice Crystal Demon Butterfly Cocoons, and so on.

For Lin Zichen, he brought Exotic Beast Meat that could strengthen the body, like the heart of a Blood Qilin, Blood Flame Phoenix Feathers, Nine Revolutions Blood Ganoderma, Abyss Blood Ginseng, and so forth.

This was to treat the geniuses favorably.

Before leaving, Qin Chuan tried to use his spiritual power to probe into Shen Qinghan's Sea of Consciousness again, but like last time, he was instantly struck by a Spiritual Attack that caused bleeding from his seven orifices and severely wounded his soul.

Having failed twice in short succession, he dared not to probe Shen Qinghan's Sea of Consciousness again for some time.

The Spiritual Attack emanating from the Water God Palace within Shen Qinghan's Sea of Consciousness was truly terrifying. Even him, with a Biological Level high as a High Order Legendary, could not bear it.

After Qin Chuan's departure, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan immediately consumed the Evolution Resources he had brought them.

After consuming these resources, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan evolved to a higher Biological Level.

The former evolved from Rare Sixth Order to Rare Eighth Order.

The latter evolved from Rare Fifth Order to Rare Sixth Order.

While the latter's Biological Level only increased by one, her spiritual power strength gained a boost that far exceeded one level, and her Sea of Consciousness expanded further, becoming even more vast and boundless.

"So this is Rare Eighth Order..."

Lin Zichen looked at his Biological Level, his face a picture of disbelief.

Since coming to Origin Land, evolution had become as simple as drinking water; one could say it was as easy as having hands.

Back on Earth, he had struggled for a long time just to reach Ordinary Ninth Order.

But in Origin Land, it hadn't even been a full year, and his Biological Level had evolved to Rare Eighth Order, only two levels away from becoming an Epic Level Creature.

Compared to before, it was like day and night.

...

Time flies swiftly.

Without paying attention, several days had passed.

This morning,

just as the sky began to brighten,

Qin Chuan, as the City Lord, announced through a voice transmission from his office that starting today, the city will open the biological channel for returning to Earth, and those in need could apply to the office director for permission to visit their families back on Earth.

After every great war, Qin Chuan would arrange for this opportunity to visit families back on Earth, as a way to soothe the emotions of the city's inhabitants.

Most people in the city had families back on Earth, with loved ones they yearned for.

Allowing these soldiers who survived the great war to visit Earth was the best way to ease their hearts.

...

In the dormitory,

Shen Qinghan, upon hearing Qin Chuan's announcement, immediately opened her eyes and said to Lin Zichen who was on top of her, "It's been almost a month since we saw our parents, should we apply to go back to Earth as well?"

Only having stayed in Origin Land for a month, Lin Zichen felt there was no need to go back.

But seeing how homesick Shen Qinghan was, he considered it for a moment and finally said, "Then let's apply to go back for a trip. I also want to see how my sister is doing."

His sister, Lin Ziying's physique, was even more heaven-defying than his own when he was young.

He was curious, after one month, to what extent had Lin Ziying developed?

```

```

Can run and jump?

Can speak and sing?

Or possibly solve Olympiad math problems?

Thinking it all over, he felt he might be going a little crazy.

His sister, Lin Ziying, now fully calculated, was only two months old, so how could she be so extraordinarily gifted?

...

Afternoon.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan had a nap and went to the office full of energy to apply for a return to Earth.

During the application, the office director looked over the information of both, frowning slightly, and said,

"Lin and Shen, it has only been a month since you two last returned to Earth, and now you want to apply again, this is a bit against the rules."

"..."

Hearing that, Shen Qinghan felt uncomfortable.

She forgot that one must stay in the Origin Land for at least three months before applying to return to Earth.

"In that case, we'll come back to apply again in two months."

Lin Zichen said indifferently, then turned around with Shen Qinghan and started to leave.

He wasn't actually that keen on returning to Earth right away; waiting another two months was no problem for him.

"Wait a second!"

The office director, seeing Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan about to leave, quickly called out to them.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan stopped, looked back at the office director with puzzlement, not knowing what the matter was.

The office director stood up from his seat and said with a smile,

"According to the regulations, indeed, you have to stay for three months before you can apply to return to Earth."

"But, you know... rules are dead, but people are alive."

"If you two really want to go back, I can bend the rules a little for you, but you'll need to keep it low-key and not publicize it."

The office director was offering to give Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan a shortcut, consenting to their application to return to Earth.

When Shen Qinghan heard this, her beautiful face showed surprise.

Lin Zichen wasn't surprised at all.

As a top-tier genius, he had been spoiled by people around him since childhood, and now being favored by the office director in the Origin Land was only to be expected.

After all, the evolutionary talent he had shown during his time in the Origin Land far surpassed the understanding of anyone in the city.

Such a top-tier genius was bound to evolve into a Legendary Level Creature someday and become a pillar of Earth.

Even, there was a possibility of evolving into a Mythical Level Creature, able to move unchallenged in the Origin Land.

Any sensible person would try their best to please such a genius.

After a few minutes,

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan completed their application to visit their relatives on Earth.

After the application.

The two didn't linger and quickly left the office, hurrying back to Earth to visit their relatives.

Lin Zichen was really curious about his two-month-old sister, Lin Ziying.

...

Shouldn't the Water God appear in the Eastern Region?

How did it appear in the Southern Domain?

The Southern Domain is clearly the territory of the Wood God.

Green Hills Ancient Mountain was attacked.

...

...

After the great war,

by regulation, people took turns to return to Earth to visit their families.

Several months later,

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan made a trip back to Earth.

They found out that many people had died.

When City No. 1 was attacked,

other cities were under attack as well.

Many people perished.

Many people they knew had died.

The president of the Student Union, Zhou Xuehong, died.

Ma Zhenhe became a vegetative state.

Yuan Dongzhi was also seriously injured and was recuperating at home.

...

...

...

Later, the counterattack on the Origin Land.

All kinds of climaxes, the male lead slaughtering at will, lots of resources.

...

After that, the situation turned around in an instant, and they were defeated by the Origin Land.

...

Lin Zichen single-handedly defended the lonely city, protecting Shen Qinghan.
