Water God? Pollution God! Praying Qingmo in the Ruins!

High in the sky, a thousand miles away from the city.

Nearly ten Legendary Tier creatures engaged in a fierce battle, each displaying their unique abilities, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

Suddenly, a dazzling sun shone brightly, turning the land within a hundred miles into ashes.

Amidst the ashes, a Sky-Piercing Giant Tree, shrouded in a thick black aura, stood unyielding, unharmed by the scorching sunlight.

It was the black mist that protected the Sky-Piercing Giant Tree.

The black mist absorbed the sunlight, saving the Sky-Piercing Giant Tree from being scorched.

Rumble--!

Suddenly, the earth trembled violently.

Dozens of shockingly large cracks appeared in the ground, seeping out wisps of cold, deadly black mist.

The next second!

A large number of indescribable black shadows crawled out from the depths of the crack, forming a massive Undead Legion that rushed toward Qin Chuan and other city leaders at lightning speed.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Yuehua, the Deputy City Lord, immediately manipulated the entire land to move and forcibly close the crack above.

As soon as the crack closed, countless thick thorns burst forth from the ground, soaring into the sky and riddling the closed ground with holes, once again seeping out wisps of black mist, and reassembling an Undead Legion.

"Ha, a mere Low-Tier undead."

Qin Chuan sneered, and then his deep eyes gleamed with golden light, causing the blazing sun hanging overhead to radiate even greater heat.

In an instant, a golden flash illuminated the earth, dispelling all the black mist and incinerating the Undead Legion that crawled out of the crack, turning it into wisps of nothingness and completely dissipating.

The Sky-Piercing Giant Tree, shrouded in black mist, quickly began to carbonize under the terrifying golden light, its life force rapidly fading, threatening to turn into a completely dehydrated charcoal.

"City Lord is indeed powerful."

On the Sky-Piercing Giant Tree, the Thorn Flower Fairy, her eyes gleaming with seductive allure, said in a seductive voice, "But... no matter how powerful City Lord, can he possibly be stronger than an avatar of a Mythical Tier creature?"

As soon as she finished speaking, countless writhing blood vessels suddenly appeared on the surface of the Sky-Piercing Giant Tree at the feet of the Thorn Flower Fairy, which had been completely carbonized.

Once these blood vessels appeared, the Sky-Piercing Giant Tree, which had been carbonized and died, instantly came back to life.

Under the watchful eyes of Qin Chuan and the others.

Sky-Piercing Giant Tree sprouted a large number of blood-red thorns, which plunged into the ground to absorb nutrients, causing the trunk to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming in the blink of an eye into a World Tree that blots out the sky.

"Sizzle... sizzle... sizzle!"

A series of crisp, clear cracking sounds rang out.

On the trunk of the Sky-Piercing Giant Tree, countless bloodshot eyes opened, their eerie gazes scrutinizing everyone present.

Upon seeing Qin Chuan and the others, the Sky-Piercing Giant Tree emitted an ancient and weathered voice:

"A mere City Stronghold has managed to produce four Legendary Tier beings in just a century. It must be said that the evolutionary talent of Earthling is truly not to be underestimated."

Upon hearing that familiar, ancient, and weathered voice, Qin Chuan, the City Lord, frowned deeply, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

It's Elder Tree!

The only two Mythical Tier creatures in the Sun-Moon Sacred Land!

Such a powerful being has actually descended upon this battlefield in the form of an avatar!

Is the Sun-Moon Sacred Land planning a full-blown war with Earth?!

Qin Chuan was completely baffled by this.

For a long time, the Mythical Tier beings of the major powers have remained behind the scenes, never taking action.

Like nuclear weapons on Earth, they only serve a deterrent purpose.

Now, the Sun-Moon Sacred Land has actually dispatched a Mythical Tier being, breaking the rules.

This left Qin Chuan feeling incredulous, and a sense of dread creeping over him.

If a person who follows the rules suddenly starts to overturn the table and disregard the rules, it means that person is willing to fight to the death.

Qin Chuan fears that the Sun-Moon Sacred Land's current disregard for the rules might lead to a complete breakdown in Sun-Moon Sacred Land and an unprecedented war with Earth.

Although there are Mythical Tier powerhouses on Earth, their numbers are extremely small.

Moreover, most of them did not remain on Earth.

If a war of annihilation were to suddenly break out, Earth would face complete invasion.

"Buzz... buzz... buzz!"

A piercing whistling sound suddenly rang out.

Countless thorny bushes covered in poisonous barbs, carrying a massive amount of Source Power, shot towards Qin Chuan and the others.

The speed was so fast that Qin Chuan and the others didn't even have time to react.

His body was instantly pierced by thorns.

It tore open a shockingly large hole.

"City Lord, save me! Save me!"

Deputy City Lord Bai Wubian's Heavenly Gate was pierced by a thorn, rendering him unable to move and causing his life force to continuously drain away. He was forced to seek help from Qin Chuan, who was not far away.

However, Qin Chuan was in dire need of his own life at this moment. His body was pierced by seven thorns, and like Bai Wubian, he was unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as the thorns devoured the life force within him.

It's over.

I'm going to die.

They're all going to die...

Qin Chuan was filled with despair, never expecting that he would die on this battlefield.

Mythical Tier beings are too powerful; even a mere clone is a terrifying existence that Legendary Tier being like him cannot contend with.

"Your Sun-Moon Sacred Land doesn't follow the rules, so our Mythical Tier experts will retaliate tenfold. Even if it means our genocide, we'll drag your Sun-Moon Sacred Land down with us to the grave..."

Knowing he had no chance of survival, Qin Chuan used the last of his strength to stare intently at the Elder Tree's clone in front of him and utter a harsh threat.

Upon hearing this, the Thorn Flower Fairy on the Elder Tree's clone burst out laughing:

"City Lord, your Earth's Mythical Tier beings are all trapped in the Ruins, barely able to survive themselves. They'll likely never emerge. If anyone's to perish, it will be your Earth's Mythical Tier beings who will be buried with all of Earthling."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's eyes widened, and his face turned ashen.

After hearing what the Thorn Flower Fairy said, he immediately realized something—the previous news about the Ruins was deliberately released by the Sun-Moon Sacred Land.

The goal was to lure all the Mythical Tier powerhouses on Earth into the trap, and then capture them all in one fell swoop.

I was even thinking of entering the Ruins to obtain the evolution resources inside...

In retrospect, it seems that the enemy exploited this weakness of being eager to evolve, leading to a trap.

Just when Qin Chuan and the others were all in despair--

"Bang!"

A massive explosion, traveling thousands of miles from the dangerous area in front of City Gate 1, reached this battlefield where creatures at the very beginning were Legendary Tier.

At that moment, all living beings present were drawn to the sound of the explosion, and they all directed their Mental Power in the direction from which the sound came to investigate.

Soon after, everyone saw a huge palace suspended high in the sky at the source of the sound.

The palace was surrounded by water, and the words "Water God Palace" were clearly written on the plaque above the gate.

Above the palace, floated the delicate figure of a young girl.

Inside the palace, excited shouts echoed continuously, welcoming the return of the gods.

Water God Palace?

What's this?

How come I've never heard of it?

After observing the situation at the palace, Qin Chuan and other leaders in the city all had the same doubts in their hearts.

The Elder Tree's clone, whose main body possessed a strength reaching the Mythical Tier, widened its eyes in shock.

"The Water God has actually been resurrected?"

The moment the Elder Tree's clone finished speaking, a large amount of cool groundwater suddenly seeped out from the scorched ground around it, instantly turning the entire scorched land into a wetland.

Not just here.

The Elder Tree's clone spread its Mental Power to sense the surrounding area, and found that the surface of the land within this range had seeped water, completely turning into a wetland with abundant moisture.

Furthermore, the moisture content is rapidly increasing, threatening to transform the entire land into a vast ocean.

Realizing this, the Elder Tree's clone immediately shouted to the Thorn Flower Fairy on its body and a powerful Exotic Human from the Land of Extinction:

"Go, get out of here quickly!"

Both the Thorn Flower Fairy and the Exotic Human from the Land of Extinction looked puzzled upon hearing the shout.

However, the Elder Tree's clone didn't explain much, and soon his soul left his body, quickly departing from this place of trouble.

Having lived for tens of thousands of years, it knew what the Water God meant; he was one of the Five Elements Gods.

Anyone touched by her moisture will suffer indescribable corruption of their soul; she is an extremely troublesome ancient deity.

In a very distant, primordial era, this terrifying Water God possessed a title that made all living beings tremble at the mere mention of his name— the Pollution God.

An ancient god capable of corrupting other living beings.

Seeing that the Elder Tree's soul fled so decisively, the Thorn Flower Fairy and the Exotic Human from the Land of Extinction, no matter how puzzled they were, immediately followed suit and fled, not daring to linger for even a moment longer.

With the departure of these three powerful figures, Qin Chuan and the others were spared from death.

"City Lord, what exactly is going on?"

Shangguan Yuehua, clutching the bloody hole in her chest, looked at Qin Chuan with a pale face and asked.

Qin Chuan was the oldest and most knowledgeable person present. If anyone understood the current situation, that person would definitely be Qin Chuan.

When Shangguan Yuehua asked this question, everyone else looked at Qin Chuan, hoping to get an answer from him.

However, Qin Chuan disappointed them.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on either."

He knew about the two Mythical Tier beings in the Sun-Moon Sacred Land— the Elder Tree and the Flower God.

They also knew of a Mythical Tier creature in the Land of Extinction — the Lord of Extinction.

They also know about Mythical Tier creatures in the Northern Region and Eastern Region.

But he had never heard of the existence of a "Water God".

Who is the Water God, Mythical Tier powerhouse from which faction?

Why does even the Elder Tree fear Him?

Perhaps only someone of the rank of Provincial Governor is qualified to know...

Qin Chuan thought to himself.

Deep within the Ruins of an extremely ancient Origin Land.

Qi Qingmo, dressed in a Daoist robe, stopped alone in front of a tomb that exuded a primordial aura.

Calling it a grave isn't quite accurate.

More accurately, it should be described as a mass grave.

At first glance, all I could see were tombstones leaning precariously.

Each tombstone is crafted from extremely pure Source Crystal, making them look incredibly luxurious.

Qi Qingmo channeled his Mental Power, carefully sensing the conditions beneath each tombstone.

It was later discovered that beneath each tombstone lay a well-preserved body.

Wrong.

It's not a corpse.

These so-called "corpses" still retained a faint trace of life within them, preventing their consciousness from being eroded by time and ensuring they did not truly die.

Simply put, every corpse here has the potential to be resurrected.

This is not a mass grave; it is a forbidden area where the strong are sealed away.

Realizing this, Qi Qingmo instantly became cautious.

She could sense that each corpse beneath the tombstone was incredibly powerful in life.

If all these corpses were to resurrect simultaneously, she was not confident she could handle them alone.

In this situation, caution is necessary.

"The Tomb of the Wood God?"

As his Mental Power continued to spread outwards, Qi Qingmo soon found a peculiar tombstone in the deepest part of the mass grave.

It was a tombstone made of an unknown ore, with the words "Tomb of the Wood God" carved on it.

Just as Qi Qingmo was wondering what the "Wood God" was --

Suddenly, an angry male voice rang out behind her. "Daoist woman, now let's see where you run to!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see three men and one woman rushing towards Qi Qingmo at top speed.

The biological pressure emanating from these four individuals was extremely strong, with the lowest level being at least the Tier 9 Great Perfection of the Legendary Realm.

The leading man among them had already reached the Mythical Tier in terms of Biological Rank.

"Escape?"

Qi Qingmo turned to face the four approaching figures, his expressionless face saying, "I never intended to escape."

The area is more than 40 miles away from City No. 1.

The Water God Palace hovered silently high in the sky, continuously dripping cold water onto the ground.

Any living creature that came into contact with this water became dazed and confused, submerged in it and losing consciousness.

As time passed, these beings, who had lost their self-awareness, began to move uncontrollably, gradually facing Shen Qinghan, who was floating above the palace, and making a gesture of worship towards her.

The Flower Vine Woman, a being of Epic- level Biological Rank, resides within the water membrane that envelops the Water God Palace.

Under the corrosive influence of the abundant moisture, her consciousness was completely extinguished, turning her into a mindless walking corpse. Like other unconscious beings, she made a gesture of worship towards Shen Qinghan.

I don't know how much time passed.

The vines that were wrapped around Lin Zichen finally began to loosen a little.

Lin Zichen realized this and immediately unleashed his inner energy, breaking free from the pupa and regaining his freedom.

The moment he emerged, he found himself in icy water.

Before them lay a colossal, mysterious palace.

They saw the Flower Vine Woman kneeling before the palace.

They saw Shen Qinghan floating above the palace.

And, they heard excited shouts coming from inside the palace.

Lin Zichen was stunned by what he saw.

He didn't understand what was happening outside while he was entangled in vines and turned into a cicada pupa.

Although he was filled with doubts, he didn't dwell on it too much and quickly used [Water Fusion Fortune] to rush to Shen Qinghan's side as fast as possible.

Shen Qinghan is currently floating motionless above the palace, seemingly unconscious, and he is very worried about Shen Qinghan physical condition.
