Central Region.

The mythical-level battle was still ongoing, but its intensity had gradually subsided.

Almost a third of the territory had been affected by the battle.

At a glance, the sky and earth were torn apart, and corpses were strewn everywhere.

The creatures within the range of the battle had not been spared; all had turned into debris on the ground.

Central Region was the origin of a large number of relics, a life forbidden zone comparable to the Abyss, where only extremely powerful beings could survive, starting at the epic level.

Yet, such powerful creatures had no time to escape in this mythical-level conflict and fell on the spot.

"We can't keep this up, or we'll all fall in the Central Region,"

Lord of Green Hills Ancient Mountain, Su Meixiao, suspended in the air, gasped for breath, her chest heaving non-stop. Her qi-blood, spirit, and origin force were almost depleted, greatly reducing her combat strength.

The situation was similarly dire for the Sea God, Elder Li, Sima Xuan, and Xuanyuan Wanyu surrounding her; each had a tired look on their face, their combat strength less than two-thirds of their peak.

Only Qi Qingmo, clad in a Taoist robe, still had abundant qi-blood, with no reduction in combat strength.

Opposite them,

Lord of Silence, Elder Tree, and Flower God, these three mythical level experts, continuously revitalized by Wood God's endless supply of life force, were always at their peak condition. Despite fighting six against three, they constantly suppressed Qi Qingmo and the others.

The Wood God represented perpetual life, able to endlessly supply vitality to a target creature, allowing it to operate at full capacity without worrying about physical exhaustion.

However, the Wood God's own combat strength was not much higher than that of other mythical level experts from Origin Land, mainly serving a supportive role to apply various life-enhancing states to his allies.

"Find a chance to break through and get out, there's no need to stay here and consume ourselves..."

Xuanyuan Wanyu, her face slightly pale and panting heavily like Su Meixiao, spoke in a weak voice.

Of all the present mythical level experts, her depletion was the greatest, nearly exhausted and unable to continue fighting.

Hearing her, others unanimously agreed with the decision to retreat.

The Wood God is the god of life.

As long as he is present, the side he is on will never perish.

With his supply of vitality, a target creature could instantly resurrect even if its soul were obliterated, making it impossible to kill.

Unless one could target the leader first and deal with the Wood God.

However, the resilience of the Wood God's life was not something a mythical level creature could handle.

Only a being higher than a mythical level creature could completely extinguish the Wood God's vitality.

But such a being, higher than a mythical level creature, only existed in the hypotheticals of mythical level creatures and had never been confirmed.

As Qi Qingmo's group was preparing to find an opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield—

Suddenly, a massive supernatural phenomenon erupted in the Southern Domain.

Numerous high-ranking aquatic creatures appeared in the sky above the Southern Domain, in solidified water form.

Following this, these powerful beings all knelt in one direction, their faces full of awe, worshiping a mysterious woman lying on a seashell.

In the Central Region,

All the mythical level experts present immediately noticed the supernatural phenomenon above the Southern Domain.

For a moment, all were stunned, overwhelmed by the scale of the phenomenon.

As beings who had evolved into mythical level creatures and existed in this world for a long time, they had witnessed various supernatural phenomena caused by the evolution of creatures.

However, this massive-scale phenomenon now appearing in the sky above the Southern Domain was something they had never encountered before.

"What's happening in the Southern Domain, why would such an exaggerated phenomenon suddenly erupt, has a new mythical level creature been born?"

"It shouldn't be, I didn't sense any mythical level creatures there."

"I checked just now, it seems a creature evolved to the legendary level, triggering this supernatural phenomenon."

"With such a large-scale phenomenon, just because a creature evolved to legendary level?"

"How is that possible!"

Su Meixiao, Elder Li, Sima Xuan, and Xuanyuan Wanyu, these four mythical level experts, looked at the phenomenon above the Southern Domain, continuously exchanging thoughts, their faces filled with confusion and disbelief.

Qi Qingmo remained silent, her brows slightly furrowed, staring intently at the phenomenon in the Southern Domain.

She sensed a very familiar aura within that phenomenon.

It was Shen Qinghan's aura.

"Did that gentle, weak girl evolve into a legendary level creature?" Qi Qingmo murmured in her heart, "Just for evolving into a legendary level creature, why would it trigger such a huge-scale natural phenomenon?"

As Qi Qingmo pondered this,

Nearby, the Sea God's entire face filled with fear.

What's going on!

Why would the Water God still be able to appear!

This is impossible!

As the Sea God trembled uncontrollably in fear,

Opposite them,

Materializing as a towering sky-reaching tree, the not yet fully revived Wood God felt a slight fluctuation of will upon sensing traces of the Water God's aura, "The Water God… is also resurrecting..."

Then, his massive body emitted a lush green light, illuminating the entire Central Region.

In that moment when the green light shone,

The ground of the Central Region, known as the Life Forbidden Zone, suddenly sprouted countless fresh green shoots.

These sprouts appeared and grew visibly robust in just the blink of an eye.

In just a moment, the originally barren Central Region transformed into a lush forest brimming with vitality, completely becoming the domain of the Wood God.

...

In a corner of City No.1.
