An ant in no way could evolve into something as massive as an elephant in a short span of time.

Therefore, if an ant wanted to defeat an elephant quickly, its only option would be to find another elephant to help.

At this moment, Qi Qingmo, her voice cold, said, "I believe that even if the Water God fully recovers, it's highly unlikely that he can change the severe situation at hand."

She felt that even if the Water God fully recovered and joined forces with her and the others, they wouldn't stand a chance against the Wood God who had achieved Four Elements Unification.

The pressure that the Wood God had just given off far exceeded any that the Water God had emitted before his slumber.

The strength of the Wood God, having unified four elements, was a notch above the Water God.

Such a vast gap in strength was not something they could bridge simply by teaming up with the Water God.

"Pavilion Master, so what should we do to change the current situation?"

Shen Qinghan asked with a worried look on her face.

Being only at Legendary Level, she couldn't perceive how powerful the Wood God was.

She had originally thought that with the recovery of the Water God, coupled with Lin Zichen, Qi Qingmo, and Xuanyuan Wanyu, who were all at high-order Mythical Level, they would easily handle the Wood God.

Hearing what Qi Qingmo had just said, she suddenly felt a bit desperate, overwhelmed with anxiety.

Faced with Shen Qinghan's doubt, Qi Qingmo turned to Lin Zichen beside her and said,

"If anyone could grow in a short time to be able to single-handedly confront the Wood God who has achieved Four Elements Unification, I believe that person would only be Zichen."

As soon as these words emerged, both Shen Qinghan and Xuanyuan Wanyu turned their gaze towards Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen didn't look at them but instead looked at Qi Qingmo and asked, "What does the Pavilion Master suggest?"

While asking this, he somewhat guessed what was about to come.

From Qi Qingmo's disposition, and the phrase "grow in a short time to…," he anticipated what would follow.

Sure enough, Qi Qingmo said what he had expected:

"Zi Chen, with your devouring evolution ability, if you were to devour all beings above Epic Level in the Origin Land, your Biological Level might evolve to be not inferior to the Wood God."

Xuanyuan Wanyu's expression slightly changed upon hearing this, feeling very uneasy.

If Lin Zichen, in pursuit of evolution, could heartlessly devour all beings above Epic Level in the Origin Land, then later, as he sought a higher Biological Level, she, being at high-order Mythical Level, would surely not escape his deadly ambition.

On the other side, Lin Zichen noticed the fleeting unease in Xuanyuan Wanyu's eyes.

He did not say anything to reassure her or promise that he wouldn't be that cruel.

Because he thought the method Qi Qingmo proposed was quite feasible and that, when the need arose, he would do it without hesitation.

Another thing was that Xuanyuan Wanyu had turned a blind eye when Elder Li and Sima Xuan suddenly attacked him before.

This incident had prejudiced him against Xuanyuan Wanyu.

When others attacked me and you chose to stand by,

When it comes to my turn to strike, I will not hesitate.

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, a harsh sound of space tearing came from all around.

The space nearby violently cracked, opening up massive, horrifying fissures.

As the fissures appeared, countless energy surges in the form of vines burst out from them.

Lin Zichen and Qi Qingmo reacted extremely quickly, almost simultaneously making their escape, each turning into a streak of light and speeding away.

Among them, Lin Zichen, who was escaping while carrying Shen Qinghan, moved even faster than Qi Qingmo, who fled without any burden.

The relatively weaker Xuanyuan Wanyu had just made a move to escape when several explosive vines entangled her entirely in the next instant, leaving her completely immobilized.

Quickly, four differently colored vines interwove together, solidifying into an intimidating figure.

It was the Wood God who had achieved Four Elements Unification.

"Escaping pretty fast."

The Wood God, paying no heed to Xuanyuan Wanyu, who was bound by the vines before him, looked in the direction where Lin Zichen and Qi Qingmo were escaping, his voice deep and resonant.

Seeing the Wood God right before her eyes, Xuanyuan Wanyu's face turned pale, filled with terror.

As fear corroded her, her heart quickly crumbled, and without hesitation, she said, "Lord Wood God, I am willing pledge my loyalty to you!"

After enduring numerous hardships, she had finally evolved into a high-order Mythical Level creature, able to look down upon the world and be revered by countless beings, not wanting to die meaninglessly.

It's better to live humbly than not live at all.

As for the impending calamity that might befall Earth and the Origin Land after this, compared to her own life, that was just a trivial matter.

A Mythical Level Creature doesn't need to remain in a specific space to survive.

Mythical Level Creatures can survive well in various environments, not necessarily needing to root in Earth or the Origin Land.

When her own life was threatened, it didn't matter to her if Earth and the Origin Land were ruined.

"Pledge your loyalty to me?"

The Wood God looked at Xuanyuan Wanyu before him, his voice carrying a trace of disdain.

At this point, He didn't need to recruit any creatures under his command to continue controlling everything.

So when faced with a suitor, he directly displayed his truest feelings without any disguise.

"My Lord Wood God, as long as I can live, I am willing to do anything, and I will be your most loyal subject, without equal!"

In her desire to survive, Xuanyuan Wanyu cast aside all her dignity, adopting a servile attitude.

Just when she thought the Wood God would surely accept her allegiance, the Wood God expressionlessly said:

"Your surrender comes too late; your allegiance now would only be a burden to me."

As soon as his words faded, the Wood God mentally tightened the vines binding Xuanyuan Wanyu.

Forsaking her dignity in her plea for life, Xuanyuan Wanyu didn't even get the chance to feel pain before she "burst" into a cloud of blood mist with a loud bang.

Then, a fiery red vine shot from the side, moving at high speed through the blood mist, instantly evaporating the entire cloud into nothingness.

As the blood mist evaporated, Xuanyuan Wanyu, a high-order Mythical Level creature, thus perished.

In an instant, a magnificent vision spread across the entire sky.

The Wood God didn't even glance back but directly transformed into myriad vines, ripping open numerous shocking fissures in the air, entering them

Surrender.

Not needed.

Just kill.

On the road of escape, the Water God revives.

Finally, the Water God awakens again, beginning a four against one battle, evenly matched.

In the end, the Water God is devoured by the Wood God.

The Wood God achieves Five Elements Unification.

After the Unification of the Five Elements, Earth and the Origin Land start to collapse.

Tsunami.

Volcanic eruptions.

And so on.

Survival of the Adaptable is directly achieved.

Just as the Wood God was ready to wreak havoc everywhere, the Water God undergoes Soul Possession.

In fact.

The Water God allowed himself to be Soul Searched deliberately.

The Water God, without a physical body, unable to achieve Five Elements Unification, had been plotting against the Wood God all along.

Turns out, the Water God is the actual antagonist!

The greatest boss!

To save Earth and the Origin Land, Lin Zichen and others could only gang up against the Water God.

Relying on the power of the Abyss.

...

Actually, this book essentially ended when the male lead and female lead grew up.

Everything that follows, I wrote with great discomfort, then gradually with more perfunctory effort, without really thinking, writing just as thoughts came to mind.

If it were another author, many might opt to abandon the story.

But even when I slack off, I will still strive to properly complete this book without abandoning it, which might just be my only virtue.

Speaking of the content in the book.

Actually, the correct way to write this was not towards a direction of urban martial arts, but towards a style of eternal life.

Simply put, it would involve speeding up the timeline.

For example, after the male lead and female lead grow up, don't slow down the passage of time, but continue to speed it up.

Within a mere tens of thousands of words, show the male and female leads marrying, having children, gradually aging, surrounded by many descendants, and eventually countless generations.

Meanwhile, describe various evolutionary geniuses attempting to reach Mythical Level, one after another falling, becoming mere dust in the era.

Ah, it's really a pity not to have written it this way.

Finally, I'd like to say something very important.

I really like the female lead, Shen Qinghan.
