Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan sat in the tree for more than half an hour and discussed the Water God Palace in Shen Qinghan's Consciousness Sea.

During this time, Shen Qinghan tried to enter the Water God Palace several times, but all attempts ended in failure.

The Water God Palace is like a forbidden place, where no living being is allowed to enter.

Seeing that they couldn't figure anything out in the short term, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan stopped paying attention to the Water God Palace.

They quickly left the towering tree beneath their feet and flew together to the front lines of the battlefield.

The war on the front lines is now nearing its end.

The city dwellers won a great victory and pressed their advantage.

The Exotic Plant of the Sun-Moon Sacred Land and the Exotic Human of the Land of Extinction suffered a regrettable defeat and fled in disarray.

"Lin Zi, we actually won, and won decisively at that! It's hard to believe."

High in the sky, Shen Qinghan looked down at the battlefield and watched as her comrades on her side relentlessly pursued the enemies from the Sun-Moon Sacred Land and the Land of Extinction. She felt both surprised and excited.

Since entering the Origin Land, all the information she has received has been that Earth is at a disadvantage and the Exotic Human are absolutely dominant.

Given this understanding, she never dreamed that Earth would achieve such a resounding victory in this great war.

Lin Zichen also looked surprised and said, "This result is indeed a bit unexpected."

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were both surprised to see the city dwellers win the war; they hadn't expected their side to win.

After all, the moment the two were imprisoned in that cage made of Blood-Colored Roots, the city dwellers were already in a losing position in the war on the front lines, being overwhelmed by the Exotic Plant of the Sun-Moon Sacred Land and the Exotic Human of the Land of Extinction.

This is completely contrary to the current outcome of the match.

"Lin Zi, how do you think we on Earth won this war?"

Shen Qinghan, her peach blossom eyes brimming with even more moisture, looked at Lin Zichen with some curiosity and asked.

Lin Zichen could only shake his head at this question:

"I don't know either. When you fell into a coma, I wasn't much better off. I was completely wrapped up in vines like a tightly sealed cocoon, and I had no idea what was happening outside."

"Is that so...?"

Shen Qinghan was unaware that Lin Zichen had been entangled into a cocoon by the Flower Vine Woman. In her mind, Lin Zichen had always been invincible and had never suffered a major loss in battle against his enemies.

Hearing Lin Zichen say that he was entangled into a cicada pupa, she was honestly quite surprised.

The Origin Land is indeed too dangerous...

From now on, I absolutely, positively, will never let Lin Zi venture out of the city to take risks...

Yes, safety first...

Shen Qinghan thought to herself.

In a short while, the two flew over the front lines of the battlefield.

At this point, there were very few living beings left fighting on the front lines of the battlefield.

There were only scattered limbs and remains.

The reason this scene appears is not because all the creatures involved in the battle have died.

Rather, it was because a victory or defeat had been decided on the battlefield.

The Exotic Plant of the Sun-Moon Sacred Land and the Exotic Human of the Land of Extinction both became the defeated side at the same time, choosing to retreat and stay away from the front line of the battlefield.

Meanwhile, the powerful figures in City No. 1 were eager to press their advantage and strike while the enemy was down, so they relentlessly pursued and attacked the two forces, determined to kill them.

And so, the two sides fled and chased each other, gradually moving away from the front lines of the battlefield, leaving behind only a large number of limb remains.

As it happened, these limb remains were exactly what Lin Zichen wanted.

He and Shen Qinghan landed on the ground quickly; the former was responsible for absorbing Life Origin, while the latter was responsible for looting the corpses and plundering the spoils.

This process lasted about ten minutes before it ended.

By absorbing the Life Origin of Alien Race, Lin Zichen unlocked more than thirty Alien Species Atlas, gaining the same number of Biological Attribute and greatly enhancing his strength.

Shen Qinghan scavenged a storage item, more than ten fist-sized Source Crystal, and a few weapons that were still in relatively good condition; her haul was quite substantial.

"Lin Zi, Instructor Lan and the others are over there, lying unconscious on the ground."

Shen Qinghan sensed the presence of Lan Tianbai and the others in an open area more than ten miles away.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Zichen followed Shen Qinghan's direction and released his Mental Power, instantly locking onto the location of Lan Tianbai and the others.

Familiar faces such as Luo Qianxue, Zhao Qingxian, and Zhang Tao were all present.

In addition, there were several human-shaped cicada pupae entwined with vines.

It was Zhao Zixuan, Wu Shiya, Fu Zhou, and a few others.

This shows that Lan Tianbai and the others have been unconscious ever since they were poisoned by the venom secreted by Lin Zichen.

Otherwise, the people who were entangled in the vines and turned into cicada pupae would have been rescued long ago.

"It seems the [Lethal Venom] Biological Attribute is quite powerful; I wonder if it will be effective against Epic- level creatures..."

After observing Lan Tianbai and the others, Lin Zichen muttered this to himself.

He then got up and left with Shen Qinghan to detoxify Lan Tianbai and the others.

He was the one who released the poison, so he has a responsibility to find an antidote.

On their way to detoxify Lan Tianbai and the others.

Lin Zichen activated his five senses to the maximum, sensing the situation within a radius of dozens of miles.

Its main function is to sense the presence of corpse remains, and once it senses them, it will readily devour them.

Unfortunately, they didn't find many corpses or remains along the way.

It seems that the battle that just ended did not cause too many casualties.

The high-level battle on the City Lord's side must have ended early, causing the battle to conclude quickly and thus preventing major casualties...

Lin Zichen analyzed it this way in his mind.

A few seconds later.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan traveled more than ten miles to reach the area where Lan Tianbai and the others were.

More than twenty people, including Lan Tianbai, were lying unconscious on the ground.

At a glance, they were all unconscious, trapped in an endless slumber.

The reason for this is that the effect of [Absolute Venom] is too strong, capable of instantly poisoning any creature below the Epic level, leaving them with no power to resist.

Lin Zichen wasted no time and quickly administered the antidote to the unconscious people on the ground.

Once the poison subsided, everyone gradually opened their eyes and woke up.

The three who woke up the fastest were Lan Tianbai, Zhao Qingxian, and Zhang Tao. These three were all rare-level beings, and their physical bodies were far stronger than those of the others in the team.

It took about half a minute.

The people who had been unconscious on the ground gradually regained consciousness and woke up, looking around with somewhat dazed eyes.

Neither of them knew that they had been bewitched by Fragrance and had unconsciously attacked Lin Zichen.

The memories in my mind only remain from before I was captivated by the Fragrance.

I don't know how much time passed.

Suddenly, someone looked at Luo Qianxue, raised their weapon, pointed it at her, and loudly questioned her with a furrowed brow:

"Luo Qianxue, what do you mean? Why did you attack Lin Zichen?"

The person who questioned Luo Qianxue was a young man with a Biological Rank as high as Advanced eighth rank.

Before he was bewitched by the Fragrance, he witnessed Luo Qianxue transform into a ball of ice energy, preventing Lin Zichen from breaking free of the cage.

He didn't know that Luo Qianxue had already been bewitched by Fragrance, and everything she did was not her own intention. He only thought that Luo Qianxue was an undercover agent who had infiltrated the team of geniuses with Exotic Human Tier, and that she would deliver a fatal blow to everyone at the most critical moment.

Upon hearing the young man's questioning of Luo Qianxue, the others belatedly recalled the scene they had witnessed before being misled— Luo Qianxue stopping Lin Zichen from breaking the cage to rescue everyone.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became tense.

Apart from Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, everyone else gripped their weapons tightly, staring at Luo Qianxue with hostility, ready to strike at any moment.

However, Luo Qianxue, who was directly involved, was the first to be bewitched by Fragrance and had no idea what had happened during the time after she was bewitched.

Therefore, Luo Qianxue felt completely bewildered by everyone's hostility at this moment.

"I've said it before: those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. We shouldn't have let this Exotic Human live in the city in the first place, much less have let her join the team of Exotic Human Tier geniuses!"

Zhao Zixuan stared at Luo Qianxue with a fierce look, her eyes filled with hostility.

Among this team of Exotic Human Tier, she has the strongest prejudice against Exotic Human.

Because both her parents died at the hands of the Exotic Human, she has been sworn enemies of Exotic Human since childhood, wishing that all the Exotic Human in the entire Origin Land would be wiped out.

"Qianxue, why did you stop Zichen from breaking free of the cage and escaping with us?"

Lan Tianbai gripped the machete tightly in his hand, looking at Luo Qianxue with a cold expression and questioning her.

As an instructor, he also didn't trust Luo Qianxue.

Like everyone else in the team, he harbored prejudices against Exotic Human.

Luo Qianxue frowned slightly and said, "I don't know what you're asking. I don't remember ever stopping Lin Zichen. There might be a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? Ha!"

Zhao Zixuan sneered, "With so many eyes watching, you say you don't remember stopping Lin Zichen? Do you think we're fools?"

A young man who was on good terms with her also chimed in aggressively, "Luo Qianxue, stop pretending. Exotic Human is an Exotic Human; they will never have a sense of belonging to Earth. Don't think you can fool her by playing dumb!"

Another young man said, "Don't waste your breath on her, just grab her and take her back to the city so the Discipline Inspection Team can interrogate her!"

With these few people leading the way, the others also began to verbally attack Luo Qianxue.

The tone was extremely harsh and hostile.

It sounded like they were treating Luo Qianxue, this Exotic Human, as a spy lurking in the city, and they wanted nothing more than to torture her to extract a confession.

Hearing the harsh words from the crowd, Luo Qianxue lowered her head, pursed her thin lips, and clenched her fists tightly, feeling extremely wronged.

He had been living in City No. 1 since he was 8 years old, and joined the team of Exotic Human Tier geniuses in the same year.

You could say they are locals who grew up in City No. 1.

Even so, neither the people in the city nor the people in the team trusted her at all, feeling that those who were not of their kind must have different intentions, and they were always hostile towards her.

Now, they've even added a fabricated charge against her, causing her immense pain.

She had no desire to become an Exotic Human; she simply wanted to live quietly in City No. 1, visiting her master Yuan Dongzhi whenever she had time and enjoying the few moments of warmth she could find.

But why, why can't everyone fulfill such a small request?

Why do you have to discriminate against me?

Why do you have to be so hostile towards me?

What did I do wrong?

Just because I'm Exotic Human, does that mean I have to be condemned to death?

The more Luo Qianxue thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. So aggrieved that her eyes, which had been expressionless the whole time, began to moisten slightly.

She couldn't accept that she, who had always worked diligently in the team, was being ostracized by so many people.

"Everyone, please calm down."

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Lin Zichen said this.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him, waiting for him to continue.

"Luo Qianxue did stop me from breaking free of the cage, but that wasn't her intention. She was simply bewitched by a Fragrance and couldn't control herself."

After saying that, Lin Zichen added, "After Luo Qianxue stopped me, you all followed suit and attacked me. You were all bewitched by Fragrance."

"If you think back, you'll find that your memory only goes back to before you smelled that Fragrance; everything after that is a complete blank."

"..."

After hearing Lin Zichen's words, everyone belatedly began to recall what had happened before.

After thinking it over, I realized that it was just as Lin Zichen had said: my memory only went back to before I smelled that Fragrance, and I couldn't remember anything after that.

At that moment, everyone realized that they might have misunderstood Luo Qianxue.

However, despite the misunderstanding, everyone remained hostile and wary of Luo Qianxue, and prejudiced against her identity as Exotic Human.

Especially Zhao Zixuan, who said in a very firm tone:

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we should expel Luo Qianxue from the team and prevent her from traveling with us. This is the only way to minimize the risk."

This is a statement full of prejudice, but it is also a statement full of truth.

Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.

Based on these eight words, everyone agreed to expel Luo Qianxue from the team, not wanting to travel out of the city with this Exotic Human anymore, lest she betray them one day.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

Given the probability of something happening, everyone chooses to take precautions and avoid risks in advance to prevent unexpected setbacks.

"Please don't be like this, everyone. I've known her since I was very young. She's a very good person and would never do something like betraying us."

Shen Qinghan couldn't stand it anymore and mustered up her courage to speak up and stop everyone.

Seeing that his fiancée had spoken, Lin Zichen added, "There's no need for everyone to speculate about things that haven't happened yet."

"Meaningless suspicion will only drive people to extremes."

Let's skip this and stop talking about it.

Lin Zichen supports everyone having suspicions, but he does not support everyone expressing their suspicions or treating them as facts.

After hearing Lin Zichen's words, everyone wisely kept quiet and didn't say anything more.

Lin Zichen's evolutionary talent is evident to all. If nothing unexpected happens, Lin Zichen will definitely be one of the Earth's top combat forces in the future.

Nobody wants to offend such a promising individual.

On the other side.

Luo Qianxue felt a sense of déjà vu as she watched Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan speak up for her, as if she had experienced the same scene before.

In response, she tried hard to search her memory, hoping to recall her past experiences.

As she searched, she felt a sharp pain in her brain, and then a familiar, childish voice echoed deep within her mind.

"Xiao Chen, Bai Xue is so pitiful, let's go help her, okay...?"

"Guan Chun, wipe the water off Bai Xue's table..."

"Those who bullied Bai Xue before, come and apologize to her now..."

As she listened to those childish voices echoing in her mind, Luo Qianxue saw scenes from the past.

I saw eight-year-old Shen Qinghan.

I saw eight-year-old Lin Zichen.

I also saw an eight-year-old girl with white hair, huddled silently in the corner of the classroom.

"Bai Xue..."

Looking at the eight-year-old white-haired girl, Luo Qianxue subconsciously murmured the name.

She remembered.

I remember everything from that brief period when I was eight years old.

I remember my introverted personality and how I once had a brief but beautiful identity as Bai Xue.
