Metal, Wood, Fire, and Earth! Four Elements as One!

In the unfathomable depths of the sea, with the blessing of [Water Fusion Fortune], Lin Zichen almost completely merged into the seawater, sinking at an astonishing speed as he anxiously searched for the figure of the Wood God.

Shen Qinghan, Qi Qingmo, and Xuanyuan Wanyu behind him all unleashed their fastest stealth speed ever, trying their best to catch up with Lin Zichen.

However, Lin Zichen's stealth speed was simply too fast; no matter how much energy they unleashed, they could never catch up.

They were even kept getting further apart, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Zichen was nowhere to be seen.

After completely losing the ability to sense Lin Zichen's presence.

Qi Qingmo, who was chasing in the lead, stopped somewhat exhausted and said to Xuanyuan Wanyu beside him and Shen Qinghan behind him:

"I can't see him anymore, I can't follow him."

Lin Zichen's underwater speed was unbelievable; in the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace, making it impossible to catch him.

Qi Qingmo felt it was all too real to believe.

A little over a year ago, Lin Zichen was as insignificant as an ant in her eyes.

How long has it been? Lin Zichen's strength has already far surpassed hers, making her feel like she's dreaming.

Even in her dreams, she felt this dream was a bit exaggerated.

A young man who is only twenty years old has already reached the high-level of Mythical in terms of Biological Rank, and he is even at the high-level of the high-level.

This is so unbelievable that it's hard to believe it's actually true.

Xuanyuan Wanyu also stopped, her face filled with disbelief, and said, "His Biological Rank is clearly far inferior to yours, so why does he display strength that surpasses yours? How did he do that?"

Qi Qingmo said calmly, "I'm also puzzled by this."

At this moment, Shen Qinghan caught up from behind and said to the two, "Pavilion Master, Earth Lord, my telepathic abilities can sense Lin Zi's location. If you follow me, you'll definitely find him."

Since her intimate encounter with Lin Zichen two years ago, she has developed a magical telepathic connection with Lin Zichen, allowing them to sense each other's presence.

Initially, the range of perception was very small, and the perception was faint and indistinct.

However, as the number of close, intimate encounters increased, the range of perception expanded, and the perception became clearer, allowing for precise location tracking of Lin Zichen's whereabouts.

"Lead the way, we'll follow behind you."

Qi Qingmo urged him on.

She didn't dwell on how Shen Qinghan's telepathy worked.

At this moment, all she wanted was to find Lin Zichen's whereabouts as soon as possible, fearing that he might be in danger if he encountered the Wood God alone.

Now, among the Mythical Tier powerhouses on Earth, only she, Lin Zichen, and Xuanyuan Wanyu remain.

As for the Water God, whether he is friend or foe is still uncertain, so he cannot be included in the calculation.

In this situation, if Lin Zichen were to perish accidentally, Earth would be in danger, powerless to resist powerful beings of the level of the Water God or the Wood God.

Therefore, Lin Zichen, who currently possesses unlimited potential for evolution, must be protected at all costs.

Deep in the ocean.

Lin Zichen continued to sink rapidly.

10,000 meters.

Fifty thousand meters.

One hundred thousand meters.

Two hundred thousand meters.

300,000 meters.

500,000 meters.

One million meters...

When Lin Zichen sank to one million meters, he finally reached the deepest part of the seabed.

He looked around and was surprised to find that there were actually plants and animals living in this place.

There are fish whose entire bodies have hardened shells.

There are unknown organisms that are transparent and dissolve in water.

There are insects whose bodies are covered with black stripes but emit a dazzling white light.

There are also all sorts of other bizarre creatures...

Lin Zichen was very puzzled by this.

This is a million-meter-deep ocean area with water pressure exceeding the heavens; even Epic creatures capable of withstanding nuclear explosions might not be able to withstand it.

However, it is simply unbelievable that these Biological Rank around them, which are only of Advanced or Rare species, can survive under such high water pressure.

From this perspective, these strange creatures in the deep sea must possess some Biological Attribute that allows them to withstand water pressure.

Otherwise, given their Biological Rank, they simply wouldn't be able to survive in such an extreme environment.

Thinking it over, Lin Zichen had a sudden thought and instantly severed parts of the strange creatures within a radius of 100 meters.

Suddenly attacked, the strange creatures were immediately wounded and fled, frantically moving away from Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen did not pursue them.

His purpose in attacking these strange creatures was simply to obtain parts of their bodies.

Then it is used to devour the Life Origin within.

Open the album.

Let's see what Biological Attribute we can gain.

Soon.

As the thought of "devouring" arose, a large number of text prompts appeared from the Void.

[You have devoured the Life Origin of a large number of "Deep Sea Shell Fish," gaining the Biological Attribute - Child of the Deep Sea]

[You have absorbed a large amount of the Life Origin of "Deep Sea Narcissus", gaining the Biological Attribute - Child of the Deep Sea]

[You have devoured the Life Origin of a large number of "Deep Sea Demon Worm," gaining the Biological Attribute - Child of the Deep Sea]

[Child of the Deep Sea: You can fully adapt to the physical properties of the deep sea, such as water pressure, temperature, and light intensity]

These strangely shaped deep-sea creatures really do possess such a Biological Attribute that allows them to survive in the deep sea... Lin Zichen thought to himself, looking at the text prompt in the Void.

Just then, his expression changed. In a stretch of sea ahead, he vaguely sensed a familiar energy fluctuation.

It's the Wood God!

He sensed the energy fluctuations of the Wood God!

Instead of acting rashly on his own, he quickly swam back up, intending to reunite with Qi Qingmo and the others before returning to fight the Wood God.

It only took about ten seconds.

Lin Zichen, who was swimming back uphill at high speed, successfully met up with Qi Qingmo, Shen Qinghan, and Xuanyuan Wanyu, who were also swimming downhill at high speed.

At the moment of their meeting, Lin Zichen said to Qi Qingmo, "Pavilion Master, the Wood God is in that area of water ahead below. I sensed His energy fluctuations there."

Without the slightest hesitation, Qi Qingmo blurted out, "Let's go, let's surround and annihilate Him."

As soon as she finished speaking, she followed Lin Zichen's direction and used water escape.

Seeing this Xuanyuan Wanyu followed closely behind.

Lin Zichen was also going to go, but before setting off, he turned back to Shen Qinghan and earnestly instructed her, "Your Biological Rank is only Legendary Tier. It will be dangerous for you to go with me to fight the Wood God. Now retreat to a safe area and wait for me. I will come back to find you after we have defeated the Wood God."

"Okay, I understand."

Shen Qinghan nodded obediently.

She knew very well that with her current strength, following Lin Zichen would only make her a burden.

Rather than becoming a burden to Lin Zichen, it's better to obediently listen to Lin Zichen, retreat to a safe place, and quietly wait for Lin Zichen to return.

Seeing that Shen Qinghan was so obedient and sensible, Lin Zichen didn't say anything more.

Soon, an idea struck him, and his energy and spirit both exploded. In just a moment, he caught up with Qi Qingmo and Xuanyuan Wanyu ahead of him, and then overtook them to lead the way.

Following the energy fluctuations emanating from the Wood God, Lin Zichen, along with Qi Qingmo and Xuanyuan Wanyu, rapidly approached.

About half a minute later, in an area where a large number of deep-sea plants grew, a humanoid Wood God dressed in a green robe, with a hunched figure, came into the view of Lin Zichen and the other two.

At this moment, the three were less than a kilometer away from the Wood God.

However, the Wood God did not react at all, remaining motionless on the seabed.

Lin Zichen noticed something was wrong, and upon closer inspection, his brows furrowed slightly.

The Wood God in front is not the Wood God himself, but a puppet that is constantly emitting energy fluctuations.

Xuanyuan Wanyu also realized this, and said with a solemn expression, "That's not the Wood God. We've been fooled and wasted our time on a puppet."

Qi Qingmo, standing to the side, said, "It's not a waste of time. Since there are puppets here, it means the Wood God is nearby. Let's continue searching."

After saying that, she added, "Time is limited, so we'll split into three groups."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly unleashed the Source Power within her body and fled rapidly in a certain direction.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen and Xuanyuan Wanyu also fled in different directions.

Although they were searching in different directions, the three of them did not stray too far apart, so that the others could provide timely support should they encounter the Wood God alone.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Along the way, Lin Zichen encountered no fewer than ten puppets disguised as the Wood God.

These puppets are widely distributed and far apart, constantly emitting energy fluctuations from the Wood God, which greatly interferes with his work in searching for the Wood God's whereabouts.

About ten minutes passed.

The three returned to their original spot and shook their heads, indicating they had gained nothing.

They searched almost the entire seabed thoroughly, but they couldn't find the Wood God anywhere.

The only thing visible was the wooden puppet that the Wood God used to buy time.

Apart from that, not a trace of the Wood God's aura could be sensed.

"That's strange. I clearly saw Him rush into the sea, so how come I can't find any trace of Him?"

Xuanyuan Wanyu frowned, pondered for a moment, and then offered another guess. "Could it be... that there are other spaces existing in this sea?"

The Origin Land is a chaotic world where spaces overlap in many places.

Especially in places like Ruins, they are mostly located in overlapping spaces.

Standing nearby, Lin Zichen, after hearing Xuanyuan Wanyu's guess, suddenly thought of Shen Qinghan.

Shen Qinghan's Consciousness Sea can connect to the vast ocean; she had accidentally connected to it once before.

He thought that if Shen Qinghan could connect to this sea area like last time, she might be able to find traces of the Wood God in her Consciousness Sea.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately said to Qi Qingmo and Xuanyuan Wanyu beside him:

"I have a way that might quickly find the Wood God who has vanished into the sea. Follow me."

After saying that, he triggered the effect of [Water Fusion Fortune], instantly dissolving into the water and disappearing, fleeing towards Shen Qinghan's location at top speed.

Qi Qingmo and Xuanyuan Wanyu didn't hesitate. Almost simultaneously, they unleashed their respective energies to keep up with Lin Zichen's speed of escape.

Soon, the three of them found Shen Qinghan.

At this moment, Shen Qinghan was quietly hovering on the sea surface, waiting patiently for Lin Zichen to return.

Upon seeing the three emerge from the water, she quickly flew to Lin Zichen's side and asked:

"Lin Zi, how is it? Have you found the Wood God?"

"No."

Lin Zichen shook his head and said.

After saying that, he immediately added, "However, I've thought of a way to quickly find the Wood God, and I need your help."

"Do you need my help?"

Shen Qinghan was a little confused, unable to think of any way she could help Lin Zichen.

But soon, she looked at Lin Zichen with a look of realization and said, "Are you trying to see if my Consciousness Sea can connect to this sea area beneath our feet, and then help you quickly find the Wood God's whereabouts?"

Lin Zichen: "Smart, you guessed right."

Shen Qinghan didn't waste any words and went straight to the point when she spoke again, "Then I'll give it a try."

After saying that, she closed her watery peach blossom eyes, calmed her mind, and began to instinctively send out her Mental Power to invade the sea below, while also diverting some of her Mental Power into her own Consciousness Sea, trying to connect the two different spaces.

During this time, Lin Zichen, Qi Qingmo, and Xuanyuan Wanyu watched quietly, not daring to make a sound to disturb them.

About a minute later.

Shen Qinghan opened her clear eyes, pursed her lips, and shook her head, saying, "We can't connect. I estimate only the Water God has the ability to connect these two sea areas."

As she said this, her eyes were filled with disappointment, feeling utterly useless for failing to help Lin Zichen when he needed it.

"So..."

Lin Zichen hesitated for a moment, then instead of comforting Shen Qinghan, he asked, "Can you sense the Water God's current state? Is He still asleep?"

He wanted to awaken the Water God in Shen Qinghan's Consciousness Sea, so that the Water God could search for the figure of the Wood God.

Shen Qinghan shook her head again, saying, "I can't contact the Wood God. He should still be sleeping in the Water God Palace. I don't know when he will wake up."

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Zichen frowned slightly, feeling a bit troubled.

If we cannot find the Wood God as soon as possible, and enable the Wood God to find and successfully merge with the three Five Elements Origin of metal, fire, and earth, then the situation will become somewhat dire.

The Wood God is already extremely powerful. If He truly succeeds in unifying the four elements, even if all the existing Mythical Tier powerhouses joined forces, they might not be His match.

Just as Lin Zichen was thinking this to himself.

Suddenly, a powerful energy, so strong it terrified him, surged rapidly from the bottom of the sea below.

He was very familiar with this energy; it belonged to the Wood God.

However, the intensity of this energy far exceeded that of the Wood God's previous energy.

Moreover, it's an exponential leap!

His expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and his heart sank to the bottom.

His worst fears came true: the long-lost Wood God had successfully merged with the three Five Elements Origin metal, fire, and earth, thus greatly enhancing its power.

On the other side, Xuanyuan Wanyu also sensed this incredibly powerful energy and immediately shouted to the others, "Retreat!"

The moment she finished speaking, she flashed away and disappeared into the distance.

Upon seeing this, Qi Qingmo immediately fled into the distance.

Lin Zichen didn't hesitate and quickly led Shen Qinghan away from the sea.

At this moment, the three remaining Mythical Tier powerhouses on Earth tacitly and swiftly fled far away, leaving no one to confront the Wood God who was about to break through the water.

All three sensed that the Wood God's energy was countless times stronger than before, and they dared not stay to take the risk. They all thought that after the Water God was revived, they would join forces with the Water God to besiege the Wood God was now countless times stronger.
