All Humanity Returns to Earth! Hold the Line!

In just over ten seconds, Lin Zichen, moving at a speed so fast he became a streak of light, brought Shen Qinghan to the entrance of the Abyss that the Water God had mentioned.

It was a lush, green mountain.

There is a cliff halfway up the mountain.

Above the cliff, there is a large waterfall that continuously emits the sound of rushing water.

The scale was enormous, and the sound was deafening.

Lin Zichen released his Mental Power and sensed that the entrance to the Abyss was inside the waterfall.

There were strong energy fluctuations there, creating a huge whirlpool in the water.

That vortex is the entrance to the Abyss.

"Let's go inside."

Lin Zichen said this to Shen Qinghan in his arms.

He didn't pause for a moment while speaking.

Before Shen Qinghan could respond, he plunged headfirst into the waterfall and disappeared into the whirlpool.

After entering the vortex.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were plunged into complete darkness; they couldn't see anything.

At the same time, all five senses are lost, and nothing can be perceived.

Lin Zichen had experienced this feeling in his dreams.

In his dream, he entered a space that resembled Abyss, filled with Abyssal Giant Butterfly.

Upon waking from sleep, a large number of Source Crystal appeared out of nowhere in my Consciousness Sea.

Lin Zichen suspected that he wasn't actually dreaming at the time, but might have actually traveled to some Abyss in the Origin Land.

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain the large number of Source Crystal that appeared in his Consciousness Sea after he woke up.

Since there are physical objects involved, it means that the dream is not a dream as we perceive it, but a reality that exists in another dimension.

What exactly is Shenyuan?

Is it just endless darkness?

What kind of being is the Abyssal Giant Butterfly, which lives in the Abyss?

Lin Zichen was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

At this moment, Shen Qinghan, who was in her arms, asked, "Where is this place? Why can't I see or sense anything?"

As she said this, she held Lin Zichen tightly with both arms, her face full of unease.

"This is the Abyss."

Lin Zichen explained to her, "It's the place where the Abyssal Giant Butterfly live."

"Abyss?"

Shen Qinghan surveyed the surrounding darkness.

She knew of the Abyss's existence.

Behind every human city in the Origin Land lies an Abyss.

The Abyss is Life Forbidden Zone. Even Legendary Tier experts can perish instantly if they are not careful once they enter.

I was just thinking about it.

Suddenly, a scarlet light appeared overhead.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan looked up at the same time.

Then, what came into their view was a swarm of enormous butterflies hovering overhead.

Each of these butterflies is several meters long and more than ten meters wide, with a scarlet, cold glow emanating from their bodies. Their mouthparts are covered with sharp fangs, and they look extremely ferocious.

Lin Zichen recognized these butterflies; they were the Abyssal Giant Butterfly he had seen in his dream.

Soon.

The Abyssal Giant Butterfly hovering overhead began to emit specks of light the size of grains of sand, illuminating some areas of pitch-black darkness.

Shen Qinghan gazed at these points of light, finding them as beautiful as starlight, and became somewhat engrossed in watching them.

Until the light slowly drifted down and was about to land on her face.

She then realized what was happening and reminded Lin Zichen:

"Let's hurry, or who knows what might happen if we touch these strange points of light."

After saying that, she grabbed Lin Zichen and started to leave.

However, Lin Zichen didn't leave; instead, he grabbed her and wouldn't let her go, saying to her:

"These points of light are beneficial to us; they can form Source Crystal within our Consciousness Sea."

In his dream, he was bathed in the light emanating from the Abyssal Giant Butterfly. When he woke up, he found that a large amount of Source Crystal had condensed in his Consciousness Sea.

He thought that he must have come into contact with these points of light in his dream, which was why a large number of Source Crystal condensed in his Consciousness Sea.

This is not just wild speculation; it is based on evidence.

The parents at home have their entire Consciousness Sea composed of Source Crystal.

And they had all had the same dream many times—that they inexplicably appeared in a pitch-black Abyss, bathed in the light emanating from Abyssal Giant Butterfly.

Hearing Lin Zichen say that these points of light were beneficial, Shen Qinghan's unease vanished instantly, replaced by curiosity and anticipation.

In a short while, countless points of light fell upon the two of them, flowing into their bodies the instant they touched them.

Then, the two clearly felt a change occurring in their Consciousness Sea.

Parts of the Consciousness Sea gradually solidified, condensing into chunks of Source Crystal that sank to the seabed.

Lin Zichen sensed the Source Crystal in the Consciousness Sea, and with a thought, triggered the devouring effect of [Source Devouring].

[You have absorbed a large amount of Source Crystal, gaining a large amount of Source Power. The Source Power has been converted into Qi and Blood, and your Qi and Blood strength and mental strength have been greatly enhanced.]

[Your Biological Rank has successfully evolved from "Legendary Tier 4" to "Legendary Tier 5"]

It actually evolved...

Lin Zichen looked at the notification message in the Void and felt a slight surge of excitement.

Other organisms have to work themselves to the bone and go through countless hardships to evolve even one level.

As for himself, he only needs to devour Alien Race or Source Devouring crystals to increase his Biological Rank, as simple as drinking water.

Um?

What's going on?

Suddenly, Lin Zichen saw his own and Shen Qinghan's figures in the Void where the notification message appeared.

It is seen from God's perspective.

Lin Zichen was a little confused at this.

He didn't remain stunned for long before he came to his senses and thought of a possibility.

He suspected that his current situation was the same as what Shen Qinghan had encountered before.

Shen Qinghan's Consciousness Sea is connected to the sea area of Origin Land.

The Void within one's own system may be connected to the Abyss of the Origin Land.

Could it be that... my so-called system is related to the Abyss of the Origin Land?

Are the so-called Son of the Abyss actually just Children of the System?

So, is that what you call cheating?

For a moment, Lin Zichen was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

"Lin Zi, there really is a change in my Consciousness Sea. Some of the seawater has started to condense into chunks of Source Crystal and sank to the bottom of the sea. And I feel that my mental strength has increased a lot!"

Bathed in the light, Shen Qinghan felt a surge of excitement after assessing her own mental strength.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zichen immediately looked at her and asked, "Can condensing Source Crystal in your Consciousness Sea enhance your mental strength?"

"Yes, it's improved a lot, it's very noticeable."

Shen Qinghan couldn't stop smiling, her voice filled with joy.

Lin Zichen was immediately puzzled.

Why does adding Source Crystal to Shen Qinghan's Consciousness Sea increase her mental strength?

She doesn't have the [Source Devouring] Biological Attribute, which allows her to convert Source Power into blood and spirit.

Is it because of the Water God?

Lin Zichen thought of the Water God sleeping inside Shen Qinghan's body and suspected that the Water God was the reason why Shen Qinghan could benefit from the Source Crystal.

As he pondered these things intently—

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

A sharp whooshing sound came from behind.

I turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

Illuminated by the points of light scattered from the Abyssal Giant Butterfly.

Lin Zichen saw a large number of Thorn Vine bursting out of the darkness with boundless vitality, their target being him and Shen Qinghan.

The Wood God has caught up!

Run!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Zichen immediately scooped up Shen Qinghan in front of him, and at the same time, his blood and spirit exploded wildly, and he fled forward at top speed.

Ahead lay a desolate darkness; nothing could be seen, and no one knew where it led.

But there was no other way; to avoid the Thorn Vine attacking from behind, they could only charge forward headlong, trying to escape first.

However, after less than two seconds of running away, Lin Zichen realized that there was no need to run at all.

As he fled, he kept looking back to see how far away the Thorn Vine that were attacking him were.

Then, under the touch of the countless points of light, the Thorn Vine withered instantly into lifeless, rotten logs, losing all vitality.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen finally understood why the Abyss was called Life Forbidden Zone.

Those are Thorn Vine from the Wood God.

Extremely high strength.

Even with his current strength, which is roughly comparable to that of Mythical Tier creature, once he is entangled by these Thorn Vine, he will be bound and unable to move, leaving him at their mercy.

Yet these powerful Thorn Vine were utterly vulnerable to the corrosive light, instantly turning into a pile of lifeless, decaying wood.

Is the so-called Life Forbidden Zone simply a name given to these giant butterflies in the Abyss?

What exactly are the specks of light emanating from these Abyssal Giant Butterfly?

Lin Zichen looked up at the swarm of Abyssal Giant Butterfly overhead, feeling an urge to devour them and see what Biological Attribute he could gain.

But this impulse was fleeting.

These Abyssal Giant Butterfly overhead were helping him at this moment, and he couldn't repay kindness with enmity.

Most importantly, he couldn't see through these Abyssal Giant Butterfly at all, couldn't glimpse their biological information, and knew nothing about them.

If they actually fought, it would be uncertain who would live and who would die.

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

Another ear-piercing whistling sound rang out.

Even more Thorn Vine than before swarmed in from outside.

This time, the Thorn Vine were no longer targeting Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, but rather the swarm of Abyssal Giant Butterfly hovering overhead.

Unfortunately, no matter how many there are, or how strong the attached Source Power is.

Before these Thorn Vine could even touch the Abyssal Giant Butterfly, they were eroded into wood chips by the light emitted by the Abyssal Giant Butterfly and fell to the ground.

After that, no more Thorn Vine attacked from outside, and everything in the Abyss returned to peace.

After dealing with the intruders, the Abyssal Giant Butterfly flew to the sky above Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan.

Then, under their gazes, more points of light began to diffuse.

"Lin Zi, after we absorb all these light spots, where do we go next?"

Bathed in the light, Shen Qinghan enjoyed the pleasure of her heightened mental strength while asking a somewhat bewildered question.

Without hesitation, Lin Zichen said, "We'll stay here and continue absorbing the light points until the Abyssal Giant Butterfly stop providing us with them."

His original plan was to devour Alien Race in various Earth City to increase his strength as much as possible.

However, since he and Shen Qinghan were already being targeted by the Wood God, this idea had to be abandoned.

The best option right now is to stay in the Abyss and improve your strength.

The only hope is that the light provided by these Abyssal Giant Butterfly in the Abyss will be continuous, until my Biological Rank evolves to Mythical Tier.

Once his Biological Rank evolves to the Mythical Tier, he is fully confident that he can deal with the Wood God.

Even if they can't defeat them, they can retreat at will.

Also, I hope that the Earth's strongmen in the Origin Land can hold out longer and prevent the cities in the Origin Land from being breached by Alien Race, leading to the invasion of Earth.

Outside world.

In front of the waterfall cascading down the cliff.

The human-shaped Wood God hovered high in the sky, hands behind his back, brows slightly furrowed, murmuring in a low voice:

"No wonder the Snow King, who was Mythical Tier powerhouse, perished in the Abyss. It's best not to provoke this Life Forbidden Zone to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Having experienced the terror of the Abyss through those two tests, the Wood God immediately lost the idea of entering to capture Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan.

He guessed that the treacherous Water God must have deliberately escaped into the Abyss to lure him in.

Rather than risk entering the Abyss and being tricked, it's better to stay outside, unite with various Beast King, and launch a general offensive against the Earth City in the Origin Land.

Then, he led a team to invade Earth to search for the Gold Origin, Fire Origin, Earth Origin that the Water God had hidden.

Once these three origins are found and integrated into one's body, greatly increasing one's strength, one can then search for the final Water Origin in the Abyss to complete the unification of the five elements.

After thinking it over, the Wood God didn't waste any more time probing at the entrance to the Abyss.

He chose to unite the Beast King of various places now, planning to lead the various races of the Origin Land to invade Earth.

Inside the Abyss.

Lin Zichen was unaware that the Wood God had already departed.

At this moment, he and Shen Qinghan were intently absorbing the light spots scattered by the Abyssal Giant Butterfly.

As the Source Crystal in his Consciousness Sea accumulated more and more, with the blessing of the Biological Attribute [Source Devouring], his Biological Rank quickly evolved to the sixth level of the Legendary.

Furthermore, it is evolving towards the Legendary sixth-order Great Perfection at an extremely rapid pace.

The benefits of this evolution are greater than those from devouring several Legendary Tier Beast King.

At this rate of evolution, it probably won't be long before I evolve into a Mythical Tier creature.

I wonder how many more points of light those Abyssal Giant Butterfly overhead can provide...

Lin Zichen was lost in thought.

Meanwhile, Shen Qinghan, who was standing to the side, did not gain as much evolutionary benefit from the light spots as he did. To this day, her Biological Rank has not broken through, and she has only been getting stronger in terms of mental strength.

Time passed by little by little.

The Abyss remained silent.

Outside the Abyss, chaos reigned.

Under the leadership of the Wood God, almost all the Beast King in the Origin Land are attacking the various Earth City within the Origin Land.

In less than half a day, all the Earth City had fallen.

Following the decision of several Mythical Tier powerhouses on Earth, all Earthling abandoned their cities and left the Origin Land, returning to Earth to defend it to the death.

Earth possesses Boundary Force capable of suppressing Alien Race.

The higher the Biological Rank of Alien Race, the stronger the suppression it faces from the Boundary Force on Earth.

A Mythical Tier Alien Race's strength on Earth might be suppressed to only the Legendary Tier.

If everyone returns to Earth and holds the line, there's a high probability we can hold out.

As for the city that had been painstakingly built up in the Origin Land over the years, it had to be abandoned.

Given the current situation, the only option is to defend on Earth.
