"Water God, spare me!"

"I can help you revive!"

"Water God, my..."

The last word "Lord" was halfway uttered when the Night King was suddenly sucked into the vortex without a trace, leaving no sign of movement.

Lin Zichen stared at the vortex in the hall, his face showing a hint of daze.

Had the Night King, a Mythical Level creature, truly perished just like that?

Is this the Palace of the Water God?

Does the Water God reside within that vortex?

Then, what about the Palace of the Water God in Han Han's Sea of Consciousness?

Could there be two Palaces of the Water God?

In his daze, Lin Zichen's mind was flooded with thoughts, feeling quite surreal about everything that was happening.

He had thought that he was going to be possessed by the Night King.

But unexpectedly, the Palace of the Water God appeared out of nowhere and effortlessly absorbed the Night King, that Mythical Level Expert who seemed invincible, as bizarrely as a grandfather figure emerging from a ring to save the day.

"Who knows whether the Night King sucked into it is dead or alive..."

Lin Zichen muttered to himself as he looked at the vortex in the center of the hall.

No sooner had he spoken than the tranquil vortex suddenly became violent, with water splashing in all directions.

The next second, a massive beast claw extended from it, the claw stretching infinitely, and with iron-slicing ease, it stabbed into the palace's floor.

Then, a familiar gigantic figure emerged from the vortex, entering Lin Zichen's vision.

It was the Night King, who had just been sucked into the vortex!

The Night King was actually able to claw his way out!

This was bad!

The sight of the Night King's figure made Lin Zichen's heart plummet.

However, he quickly snapped out of it, not resigning himself to fate.

He immediately unleashed all his Qi-Blood and spirit, dealing both physical and mental blows to the Night King.

Yet, his attacks, when landing on the Night King, a Mythical Level being, were as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot, having no effect whatsoever.

They did not harm him in the slightest!

Escape!

Escape was the right choice!

Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Zichen quickly scanned the surroundings, looking for a passage to leave the hall.

After glancing around, he felt a bit desperate.

This hall—surprisingly—had solid walls on all sides, with no entrance or exit!

How could he escape then?

There was simply nowhere to run!

Just as Lin Zichen was getting frantic inside—

"Ssslah!"

A crisp tearing sound reached his ears.

The Night King inside the vortex was torn to pieces.

The Mythical Level flesh and blood were instantly shredded by the powerful pull of the vortex.

The spattering blood dyed the entire azure vortex red.

Soon, the blood inside the vortex began to struggle and squirm frantically, attempting to rejuvenate the flesh.

Experience more content on empire

Unfortunately, the powerful pull inside the vortex afforded no such opportunity.

In just a few seconds, all the blood in the vortex was sucked into its depths, vanishing without a trace.

Before long, a vivid crimson bead slowly rose from the vortex and then floated directly toward Lin Zichen, not far away.

Lin Zichen watched the approaching crimson bead, sensing a familiar aura from it—it was the unique presence of the Night King.

The Mythical Level Night King, refined into a single bead by the vortex before his very eyes?

Why is the bead floating towards me? Is it meant for me?

At that thought, Lin Zichen felt somewhat overwhelmed by the honor.

After catching the floating bead, he immediately turned towards the center of the hall and respectfully uttered:

"Thank you, Water God, for your assistance!"

"Thank you, Water God, for your gift!"

"If there is any way I can be of service to you, Water God, please just say the word, and I will do my utmost."

"..."

The hall fell into eerie silence.

No one responded to Lin Zichen's words.

Lin Zichen waited quietly for a moment, and seeing that there were still no responses, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

This Water God seemed a bit aloof...

Not keen on interacting...

Lin Zichen thought this to himself.

Suddenly!

A tremendous suction came from the vortex, instantly absorbing him into it.

1 second.

1 minute.

Or perhaps 1 hour...

Unsure of how much time had passed, when Lin Zichen next opened his eyes, he found himself unexpectedly hovering steadily above the sea, no longer within the Palace of the Water God.

He looked all around him, and if it weren't for the vivid Blood Bead in his hand and the throbbing pain in his head from the Night King's invasive memories, he would have thought he had just been dreaming.

"Just what was that Palace of the Water God all about?"

"Was it specifically there to save me?"

"Could it have been Han Han's doing?"

Lin Zichen suddenly thought of Shen Qinghan, suspecting that everything that had just happened under the sea was being manipulated by Shen Qinghan from behind the scenes.

Shen Qinghan had an inseparable connection with the Water God. If Shen Qinghan could communicate with the Water God, then getting the Water God to come over for the rescue might not be such a difficult task after all.

Or should he... dive back into the depths of the sea to discover the truth?

Forget it, better not to stir up trouble when it can be avoided. There's no need to go looking for trouble.

With this cautious thought in mind,

Lin Zichen's mind moved, and he placed the Blood Bead he held into his Storage Space. Then, his figure flashed, transforming into a streak of crimson light, speeding toward City No. 1.

Shen Qinghan was still at the city. He needed to hurry back to see how she was doing and if she needed help.

...

Inside City No. 1.

At a glance, all that met the eye were corpses and ruins, broken walls, and shattered towers.

The once-grand and towering City No. 1 now lay in ruins following the battle.

In the center of the battlefield, Shen Qinghan was multitasking, assisting the wounded in recovering their blood, while keeping a close watch on the images in her Sea of Consciousness, deeply caring about the comfort of Lin Zichen portrayed within them.

However, at this moment, the images in the Sea of Consciousness no longer featured Lin Zichen.

There was only a silent Palace of the Water God, and the boundless sea water rich in Origin Force.

"Was it just an unreal illusion after all?"

Feeling the emptiness of the Sea of Consciousness, Shen Qinghan was somewhat taken aback by the recent incident of rescuing Lin Zichen in her Sea of Consciousness, considering it was most likely a figment of her imagination brought on by her daytime thoughts and nighttime dreams.

...

Lin Zichen decided to head toward City No. 36, which led to the Southern Domain.

City No. 36 connects to Shanhai City.

Worried that they won't be able to hold out.

...

Yuan Dongzhi had just recovered when he joined the battle.

Many people were there.

Yuan Dongzhi, Liu Chuanwu, Song Yuyan, among others.

Yuan Dongzhi was seriously injured and had not yet fully recovered.

In the high skies above the Central Region, the sounds of battle echoed from time to time.

A colossal tree that reached the heavens broke through the clouds.

At this moment, outside City No. 36, a fierce battle raged on.

The feeling that the city was about to fall was palpable.

...

The Wood God emerged victorious, plunging everyone into endless despair.

...

Entering the Central Region, into the ruins, gaining power, evolving wildly.

The Central Region was actually at the very heart of the Abyss.

The Abysses in other domains were extensions of the Abyss of the Central Region.

Afterward came the Legendary Level.

Then, the situation turned in an instant, with the Sun-Moon Sacred Land's side routing their enemies, leaving them in disarray.

In the end, Sun-Moon Sacred Land emerged victorious from this great battle.

The Earthlings completely withdrew from their original position.

...

...

Shen Qinghan was still trapped in the Palace of the Water God, unable to leave.

Lin Zichen stood guard alone over the solitary city, protecting Shen Qinghan.

City No. 1.

In the end, with the attributes of Shen Qinghan, Lin Zichen fled with her into the Abyss.

He discovered it was exactly the same as what he had seen in his dreams.

After that, the protagonist used the Abyssal monsters to kill either Legendary Level Experts or Mythical Level Experts.

With his back to the Abyss, he was the master of the Abyss.

...

...

...

Utilizing Abyssal monsters to kill Mythical Level Creatures caused a change in the sky and various phenomena, shocking everyone.

...

...

The Earth's great war.

Nuclear bombs.

The Mechanically Modified Humans appeared.

...

...

Entering the Central Region, into the ruins, gaining power, evolving wildly.

The Central Region was actually at the very heart of the Abyss.

The Abysses in other domains were extensions of the Abyss of the Central Region.

Afterward came the Legendary Level.

Then, the situation turned in an instant, with the Sun-Moon Sacred Land's side routing their enemies, leaving them in disarray.

In the end, Sun-Moon Sacred Land emerged victorious from this great battle.

The Earthlings completely withdrew from their original position.
