1st City's skies.

When Lin Zichen returned here, the great battle had long since ended, leaving behind only a chaotic scene.

At a glance, ruined walls and scattered corpses covered the field.

Many somewhat familiar faces from the city had become corpses, forever left on the battlefield.

Some met even worse fates, completely annihilated without leaving behind a trace.

"This is war..."

Lin Zichen muttered to himself, feeling somewhat disheartened.

He surveyed the battlefield from above.

Quickly.

Lin Zichen dove down at high speed, turning into a streak of light that flashed down, landing precisely in front of Shen Qinghan.

Shen Qinghan was helping the wounded to collect blood, and seeing Lin Zichen suddenly appear before her, a smile emerged on her delicate face:

"Lin Zi, you've finally come back safely, I've been so worried about you."

"You don't have to worry anymore, all the troubles have been taken care of."

Lin Zichen said as he reached out to wipe the dust off Shen Qinghan's face, his movements very gentle.

He could have easily used his Qi-Blood or spiritual power to wipe the dust from Shen Qinghan's face from afar.

While it would have been convenient, it lacked a sense of intimacy.

More than convenience, he preferred to touch Shen Qinghan's delicate face with his hands, feeling the warmth from her skin.

"What happened to that traitorous Deputy City Lord?"

"Why did you come back alone?"

"What about the others?"

Shen Qinghan asked three questions in succession, her face full of curiosity.

She had always been like this since childhood, eager to ask Lin Zichen anything she didn't understand, using him like a search engine on her phone.

To these three questions, Lin Zichen answered patiently in a mild voice:

"The traitorous Deputy City Lord is dead."

"But it wasn't me who killed him; he was possessed by a Mythical Level Expert called the Night King."

"Those city leaders who went with me to deal with the traitorous Deputy City Lord were unfortunately all sacrificed, dying at the hands of the Deputy City Lord before he was possessed."

As he responded to these questions, Lin Zichen's voice was calm, so calm that he did not seem like a participant but rather a disinterested bystander.

He purposely made these matters sound trivial, not wanting to concern Shen Qinghan.

However, Shen Qinghan was not naive, and she was well aware of how perilous the situations Lin Zichen had described must have been.

After all, those city leaders who had gone to pursue Ye Yongsheng had a Biological Level at the very least of Legendary Level.

Yet such high-level city leaders had all sacrificed their lives without exception.

From this alone, one could judge how dangerous Lin Zichen's previous experiences had been.

Not to mention that the traitorous Deputy City Lord had been possessed by a Mythical Level Expert.

With a Mythical Level Expert making an appearance, one could only imagine how dire the situation must have been then.

Though she understood the gravity of the situation, Shen Qinghan did not press for more details. Instead, she asked Lin Zichen:

"Lin Zi, what do we plan to do after cleaning up the battlefield?"

With wars breaking out everywhere in the Origin Land, no place was safe, leaving Shen Qinghan somewhat at a loss.

Lin Zichen did not rush to answer, silently scanning the surrounding environment.

After a brief silence, he said to Shen Qinghan, "Go to other cities to help clear out the Alien Races."

The Alien Races in 1st City had been almost completely wiped out; there weren't many resources left to consume.

If he wanted to continue evolving at high speed, it was time to change battlefields.

Hearing Lin Zichen's plan to go to other cities and help clear out the Alien Races, many nearby people showed their respect, looking at him with admiration.

These people did not know that Lin Zichen's main reason for helping other cities to clear out the Alien Races was to consume the Life Origin and Origin Force of those Alien Races.

They thought that Lin Zichen could not bear to see his people suffer and wanted to offer his light and warmth.

However, a gentleman's deeds ought to be judged by their benefits, not the motives behind them.

No matter the purpose or the real thoughts, as long as the actions benefited the people, he was regarded as the savior of his people.

Shen Qinghan, knowing Lin Zichen wanted to kill Alien Races to consume and evolve, sensibly said:

"Okay, got it. I'll speed up the cleanup, so we can move to the other cities to clear out the Alien Races as soon as possible."

After speaking, she quickly went to assist in recovering blood for the wounded.

With nothing else to do, Lin Zichen joined in the effort to treat the wounded, spreading his spiritual power to cover the entire battlefield, searching for undiscovered injured among the ruins. Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire

With his and Shen Qinghan's assistance, the wounded on the battlefield were quickly provided with the most basic treatment.

After doing all this.

Shen Qinghan remembered something, walked up to Lin Zichen, took his hand, and spoke to him through Qi-Blood:

"By the way, Lin Zi, not too long ago, I encountered something quite magical."

"What is it?"

Lin Zichen asked back with curiosity, using Qi-Blood to communicate.

Shen Qinghan: "Not too long ago, I saw you in my Sea of Consciousness, saw you descending deeper and deeper within it, and then being chased by the traitorous Deputy City Lord."

Hearing this, Lin Zichen's pupils constricted, his eyes widened, and a look of astonishment spread across his face.

What does it mean?

Could it be that the sea I dived into earlier was actually Han Han's Sea of Consciousness?

That's why I encountered the Palace of the Water God there?

An entire boundless ocean was Han Han's Sea of Consciousness...

Am I dreaming?

Lin Zichen felt this was too exaggerated, and his astonishment gradually turned to disbelief.

Across from him, Shen Qinghan saw all the changes in Lin Zichen's expression and became increasingly astonished herself.
