Earth's Lord Falls

The moment Lin Zichen and the others quickly left.

The energy surging rapidly from the depths of the seabed was fluctuating stronger and stronger.

In the blink of an eye, the entire sea surface churned violently as if it were boiling water.

Countless creatures living in the sea lost their lives as a result. Their corpses were broken down into countless tiny particles by the surging energy, completely merging into the seawater and disappearing into the long river of evolution.

"Boom!!!"

A deafening sound rang out.

Suddenly, the turbulent sea erupted like a volcano, with large waves of heat gushing out from beneath.

Immediately afterwards, a figure in a green robe with extremely strong energy fluctuations burst out of the water, stirring up a towering wave with an awe-inspiring momentum.

Lin Zichen and the others, who were fleeing at top speed, all witnessed this earth-shattering scene, and their expressions instantly turned solemn.

The power unleashed when the Wood God broke through the water was so immense that it subtly surpassed the realm of Mythical Tier, reaching a shocking new level.

This new realm created a real power gap between the Wood God and the Water God of the same level.

He is no longer an existence on par with the Water God, but an existence superior to the Water God.

Ahead, Lin Zichen unleashed his blood and qi power, carrying Shen Qinghan as they fled at top speed, while simultaneously using his Mental Power to look back and observe the appearance of the Wood God and probe its biological information.

At this time, the appearance of the Wood God was very different from that of the old man in the green robe.

The Wood God of the past was an elderly man in a green robe who looked very old, but whose body was still vigorous. He gave people the feeling of a hidden master.

The current Wood God has fiery red hair, limbs as hard as stone, a strong and upright body, and an aura full of vitality. The pressure emanating from him is extremely oppressive. His overall image is that of a young and strong man in his prime, and just one glance from him will make people feel uncontrollably fearful.

Looking at the biological information, the Wood God used to be a Mythical Tier being, but now it exudes an aura that faintly surpasses the Mythical Tier level, making people unable to muster any courage to fight against it.

"It's already this powerful after only four elements have been combined; if it were to successfully combine all five elements, I'm afraid all the strongest beings on Earth combined wouldn't be able to harm it in the slightest..."

After observing the completely transformed state of the Wood God, Lin Zichen thought to himself.

Beside them, Qi Qingmo and Xuanyuan Wanyu, who were fleeing at high speed after him, were also thinking the same thing, feeling somewhat desperate under the powerful pressure emanating from the Wood God.

The Wood God's original strength was already the pinnacle of this world.

Now that the four elements have been successfully united, the Wood God's strength has reached a new level, increasing exponentially.

Faced with such a powerful Wood God, Qi Qingmo and Xuanyuan Wanyu couldn't think of any way to defeat him.

The thought filled them with a deep sense of despair.

On the other side, the Wood God, having successfully found the three Five Elements Origin —metal, fire, and earth—and achieved the unity of the four elements, quickly sensed Lin Zichen and the others fleeing rapidly ahead.

In response, He merely glanced in the direction Lin Zichen and the others had fled, without taking any further action.

Instead of chasing after Lin Zichen and the others, He chose to stay put, close His eyes, and calm His mind to familiarize Him with His new body after the merging of the four elements.

Its previous body only contained the Wood Origin, possessing only the effect of Endless Vitality, which resulted in it being slightly weaker in terms of attack power compared to the other four Five Elements Gods.

Now, having integrated the three Five Elements Origin of Gold Origin, Fire Origin, and Earth Origin, the body's other attributes have been qualitatively improved.

After an unknown amount of time, the Wood God slowly opened his ancient and weathered eyes. His usually calm and expressionless face now showed a rare hint of excitement.

After some self-reflection...

To the Wood God's delight, the combined body of the four elements contained far more powerful energy than he had anticipated.

He originally believed that only by successfully Biological Rank the five elements could a being transcend the Mythical Tier.

Unexpectedly, simply by successfully unifying the four elements, Biological Rank that had been stuck at the Great Perfection of the Tier 9 of Mythical for countless eras had already faintly stepped into a completely new realm that transcended the category of Mythical Tier.

If the five elements can be successfully unified and the Biological Rank can be further advanced, its power will be unimaginable.

"All that's missing is the Water Origin..."

The Wood God murmured with burning eyes.

The moment the voice fell, His vibrant body instantly transformed into countless vines, covering the entire sky in an instant.

Before the four elements were united, the vines that were formed from the decomposition of His body were all emerald green Green Vine.

After the four elements were united, the vines that were formed from the decomposition of His body possessed four colors: golden yellow, emerald green, crimson red, and brownish gray.

These four colors correspond to the Five Elements Origin metal, wood, fire, and earth, and each possesses one of the four Biological Attribute of Indestructible Diamond, Endless Vitality, Rebirth from Fire, Immovable as a Mountain.

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

A series of ear-piercing tearing sounds rang out.

Every vine that the Wood God's body had transformed into began to move, violently tearing a shocking crack in the air.

Immediately afterwards, these vines, like venomous snakes, swiftly burrowed into the cracks and disappeared.

In the distance, Lin Zichen, Shen Qinghan, Qi Qingmo, and Xuanyuan Wanyu, who were fleeing at high speed, were currently discussing their next strategy while simultaneously unleashing their maximum energy to create distance from the sea area where the Wood God was located.

"The Wood God has successfully merged the four elements, and its power has increased exponentially. We feel that even if we join forces, we will not be its match. The only way for us to defeat it is to wait for the Water God to revive."

As the Earth's Earth Lord, Xuanyuan Wanyu spoke with a heavy tone.

The reason it felt so heavy was because the biological pressure emanating from the Wood God when it broke through the water was too strong, so strong that even she, whose Biological Rank was as high as the high rank of Mythical, had some difficulty breathing.

Such a gap is vast, and cannot be bridged simply by having a numerical advantage.

No matter how many ants there are, they are still ants; they cannot kill an elephant just because they are numerous.

Only when a weak ant evolves its body to the size of an elephant can it be qualified to compete with an elephant.

However, it is impossible for an ant to evolve into a creature as large as an elephant in a short period of time.

Therefore, if an ant wants to defeat an elephant in a short time, it must seek help from another elephant.

At this moment, Qi Qingmo said in a cold voice, "I think even if the Water God is fully revived, he will most likely be unable to change the current grim situation."

Why?

Xuanyuan Wanyu frowned and asked.

Qi Qingmo explained calmly, "The pressure emanating from the Wood God just now far exceeded the pressure emanating from the Water God before he fell asleep."

"From this perspective, the Wood God, who has combined the four elements, is already a level above the Water God."

"The difference in strength is so vast that it cannot be bridged simply by us joining forces with the Water God."

"..."

Qi Qingmo's words were a blow to the others, leaving them feeling somewhat hopeless.

"Pavilion Master, how can we change the current situation?"

Shen Qinghan asked with a worried expression.

With her Biological Rank only at the Legendary Tier, she couldn't sense just how powerful the Wood God truly was.

To her at this stage, whether it's Mythical Tier powerhouse or a powerhouse beyond the Mythical Tier, they are all the same in her eyes—existing beings that are unattainable.

Therefore, she thought that once the Water God was revived, together with Lin Zichen, Qi Qingmo, and Xuanyuan Wanyu, three high-level Mythical experts, they would be able to easily deal with the Wood God.

Hearing Qi Qingmo say this, she suddenly felt a sense of despair and was filled with unease.

Faced with Shen Qinghan's question, Qi Qingmo looked at Lin Zichen beside her and said to her:

"If someone can grow to the point where they can single-handedly fight against the Wood God who combines the four elements in a short period of time, then I think that person can only be Zichen."

"..."

Upon hearing this, both Shen Qinghan and Xuanyuan Wanyu looked at Lin Zichen simultaneously.

Lin Zichen didn't look at the two of them, but instead looked at Qi Qingmo and asked:

"What did the Pavilion Master say?"

As he asked that question, he had a pretty good idea of what was going on.

Judging from Qi Qingmo's personality and the phrase "grown to...", he guessed what Qi Qingmo would say next.

As expected, Qi Qingmo's next words revolved entirely around the word "devouring," just as he had guessed.

Qi Qingmo said, "Zichen, with your devouring and evolution abilities, if you were to devour all the Epic- level and above beings in the Origin Land, your Biological Rank might evolve to be no weaker than the Wood God."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Wanyu's expression changed slightly, and she felt very uneasy.

If Lin Zichen is willing to ruthlessly devour all the Epic- level and above creatures in the Origin Land in order to evolve, then later on, as Lin Zichen pursues a higher Biological Rank, she, who is at the high-level of Mythical, will definitely not escape Lin Zichen's clutches.

Never underestimate the evil in human nature.

It is commonplace for people to sacrifice the interests of others in order to achieve their own.

Across from him, Lin Zichen noticed a fleeting hint of unease in Xuanyuan Wanyu's eyes.

He did not offer any words of comfort, saying that he would not be so cruel.

Because he felt that the method Qi Qingmo suggested was feasible.

When the time comes for him to do it, he will do it without hesitation.

Another point is that when Elder Li and Sima Xuan suddenly attacked him before, Xuanyuan Wanyu chose to turn a blind eye.

This incident caused him to develop a prejudice against Xuanyuan Wanyu.

When others attack me, you choose to stand by and do nothing.

When it's my turn to make a move against you, I will not hesitate.

"Sizzle!"

"Sizzle!"

"Sizzle!"

Suddenly, a piercing sound of space tearing came from all directions.

The surrounding space suddenly cracked open with numerous shocking fissures.

The moment the crack appeared, countless vines with extremely strong energy fluctuations shot out from it.

Lin Zichen and Qi Qingmo reacted extremely quickly, making escape moves almost simultaneously, each transforming into a streak of light and disappearing in a flash.

Among them, Lin Zichen, who carried Shen Qinghan as they fled, escaped even faster than Qi Qingmo, who was empty-handed and without any burden.

As for Xuanyuan Wanyu, who was weaker, she had just made a move to escape when she was immediately entangled by several vines that shot out from her, rendering her unable to move.

Soon, four vines of different colors intertwined and coalesced into a figure with an extremely imposing presence.

It is the Wood God, who embodies the four elements.

"They escaped pretty quickly."

Ignoring Xuanyuan Wanyu, who was bound by vines in front of her, the Wood God gazed in the direction where Lin Zichen and Qi Qingmo had fled and said in a low voice.

Looking at the Wood God so close to her, Xuanyuan Wanyu's face turned pale, her eyes filled with fear.

Caught off guard by fear, her mind quickly crumbled, and she cried out without hesitation:

"Lord Wood God, I pledge my allegiance to you!"

As those words were uttered, the Earth's Earth Lord surrendered.

This, to some extent, represents Earth's complete defeat in this war between the two worlds.

As the Earth Lord, Xuanyuan Wanyu went through countless hardships to finally evolve into a high-level Mythical creature, able to look down upon the world from a high vantage point and be revered by countless beings.

Having such a fulfilling life, she didn't want to die meaninglessly.

It's better to live than to die.

As for the impending annihilation of Earth and its Origin Land, that is nothing more than a trivial matter compared to one's own life.

Mythical Tier beings do not need to depend on a specific space to survive.

Mythical Tier beings can survive well in various environments, without necessarily needing to be rooted in Earth or their Origin Land.

If their own lives are threatened, the destruction of Earth and its Origin Land is irrelevant.

"Will you pledge your allegiance to me?"

The Wood God looked at Xuanyuan Wanyu in front of him, his voice tinged with disdain.

Now, He doesn't need to recruit any creatures to His side to still control the entire situation.

Therefore, when facing those who surrender, they directly and without concealment reveal their truest attitude.

"Lord Wood God, as long as I can live, I am willing to do anything. I will be your most loyal subordinate from now on, without exception!"

In order to survive, Xuanyuan Wanyu chose to abandon all dignity and adopt a humble posture.

Just when she thought the Wood God would definitely accept her surrender, the Wood God spoke expressionlessly:

"Your surrender is too late; now your defection will only be a burden to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Wood God had a thought and suddenly tightened the vines binding Xuanyuan Wanyu.

Xuanyuan Wanyu, who abandoned her dignity to survive, didn't even have time to feel the pain before she exploded into a cloud of blood mist with a "bang".

Immediately afterwards, a crimson vine shot out from the side, swiftly passing through the blood mist and instantly evaporating the entire cloud of blood mist into nothingness.

As the blood mist evaporated, Xuanyuan Wanyu, whose Biological Rank was as high as the advanced Mythical rank, perished.

In an instant, a magnificent celestial phenomenon filled the entire sky.

The Wood God didn't even glance at them, directly transforming back into countless vines that tore open numerous shocking cracks in the air before swiftly entering them to pursue Lin Zichen, Shen Qinghan, and Qi Qingmo who were trying to escape.

The focus is on Shen Qinghan.

He needs to devour the Water God sleeping in Shen Qinghan's Consciousness Sea, achieve the long-desired unity of the five elements, completely transcend the realm of Mythical Tier, reach the end of the path of biological evolution, and become the only true god who reigns supreme over all things in the world.
