Wood God Was Just a Pawn! The Biggest Mastermind!

After checking Shen Qinghan's injuries in less than two seconds, Lin Zichen quickly took out a high-quality Spirit Nourishing Pill, pinched it, and put it into Shen Qinghan's mouth.

The Spirit Nourishing Pill melted upon entering her mouth, instantly transforming into a warm, azure current that rapidly flowed into Shen Qinghan's Consciousness Sea and completely merged into it.

Nourished by this warm current, Shen Qinghan's turbulent Consciousness Sea quickly calmed down.

The sea, which had been turbulent with large waves, suddenly became as still as a mirror, with only faint ripples spreading quietly in the wind.

At the same time, Shen Qinghan, who was in a coma, moved her long eyelashes, and then quickly and slowly opened her clear eyes, her voice weak and muffled:

"Lin Zi, I feel so dizzy..."

The departure of the Water God caused a great disturbance in her Consciousness Sea, altering Consciousness Sea environment and making it difficult for her soul to adapt in a short period of time, causing her to feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Lin Zichen gently touched her forehead and explained, "The Water God in your Consciousness Sea was forcibly extracted by the Wood God, causing your soul to be disturbed. However, it's not a big problem; you should be fine after a while."

After saying this, he shifted his gaze from Shen Qinghan and looked up at the energy fluctuations emanating from above.

Then, what came into his view was that the Wood God in human form was controlling a vine, which tightly wrapped around the Water God in human form, suspending him in front of him.

That vine was extremely special; not only was its surface covered with sharp thorns, but it also had four colors: golden yellow, emerald green, crimson, and brownish gray.

In addition, it possesses four Biological Attribute: Indestructible Diamond, Endless Vitality, Rebirth from Fire, and Immovable as a Mountain.

Entangled within it, the Water God, in his illusory human form, was completely immobilized and unable to utter a sound.

The Water God was captured by the Wood God, who was formed from the unity of the four elements...

The missing Water Origin in the Five Elements theory has been replenished...

Is everything coming to an end...?

Lin Zichen looked up at the scene in the sky, his eyes filled with resentment.

If given another year, or even half a year, he was confident that he could evolve to a Mythical Tier and then crush the Wood God, who had already merged the four elements into one.

However, the Wood God never gave him that chance.

Less than a day after achieving the unification of the four elements, the Wood God successfully captured the Water God, obtaining the final piece of the puzzle for the unification of the five elements, which is about to lead to the collapse of the Earth and the Origin Land.

Once the Wood God successfully unites the five elements, everything will come to an end.

The Earth will collapse.

The Origin Land will also collapse.

Creatures living in these two spaces will perish as their habitats collapse.

No!

We can't just sit here and wait to die!

A desperate struggle!

Even if you only have one breath left, you must live until the very last moment!

With this thought in mind, Lin Zichen released Shen Qinghan from his embrace and said to her very seriously:

"Quickly, head to Capital City to find our parents and take good care of them. Next, I will try with the Pavilion Master to stop the Wood God from merging with us."

Shen Qinghan's Biological Rank is only Legendary, so she can only play a dragging role in the upcoming battle.

Sending her away from the battlefield to Capital City to take care of each other's parents is the best option at present.

"Okay, I understand. Be careful, I'll wait for your good news."

Shen Qinghan, unusually, didn't say much. As soon as Lin Zichen finished speaking, she obediently nodded and said something.

Without a moment's hesitation, she unleashed her Mental Power and flew towards Capital City at top speed.

She knew full well that the current situation was very serious, and this was not the time for her to hesitate.

We must act decisively.

I can't hold Lin Zichen back.

Watching Shen Qinghan's figure disappear quickly into the distance, Lin Zichen was somewhat stunned.

Shen Qinghan left too decisively.

This is nothing like her.

Lin Zichen felt somewhat uneasy about her decisiveness at that moment.

However, Lin Zichen didn't dwell on it too much, and soon teleported to Qi Qingmo's side.

Then, with just a simple glance, the two understood each other perfectly and simultaneously transformed into a streak of light, charging together towards the Wood God in the sky.

In any case, we must not allow the Wood God to successfully unite the five elements.

If this can be stopped, there's still a chance to turn things around.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Lin Zichen and Qi Qingmo attacked the Wood God with incredible speed and unleashed tremendous energy.

Wherever it passed, the air itself was blasted open with large, shocking cracks, causing the Void to tremble and generating a piercing explosion.

The energy unleashed by the two at this moment, even a fraction of it, would be enough to obliterate even a high-level Mythical expert like Elder Li, Sima Xuan, Xuanyuan Wanyu, or the Sea God, causing them to perish on the spot.

However, even these two powerful individuals were as fragile as ants before the Wood God, and were instantly subdued.

Two buzzing sounds rang out!

Just as Lin Zichen and Qi Qingmo were about to reach the Wood God, two vines with four colors—golden yellow, emerald green, crimson red, and brownish gray—burst out of the Wood God's body in an instant.

The two vines shot out at extremely high speed, transforming into a colorful streak of light that shot straight towards Lin Zichen and Qi Qingmo.

Lin Zichen and Qi Qingmo both saw the vines rushing towards them at lightning speed, but they didn't have time to dodge at all. They were immediately wrapped up by the vines and unable to move.

"Someone can evolve to the Tier 9 of Mythical solely through the power of qi and blood."

"A Source Power that can devour other organisms, enabling rapid evolution."

"Interesting."

"I'll study you properly after I successfully unify the five elements."

The Wood God looked at Lin Zichen and Qi Qingmo, and spoke with an ancient and weathered voice, full of interest.

Having said that, His gaze fell upon Qi Qingmo's graceful figure, and His eyes revealed a hint of greedy lust as He said:

"Originally, Su Meixiao, the Mountain Lord of Qingqiu Ancient Mountain, was the best candidate for my furnace cauldron."

"It's a pity that beauty is short-lived; she has now completely perished and ceases to exist."

"In that case, you will be my furnace from now on."

The moment the words fell, the Wood God manipulated four-colored vines to completely wrap Lin Zichen and Qi Qingmo, forming two airtight cocoons.

As for Shen Qinghan, who fled to Capital City, He chose to ignore her completely, not even glancing at her.

He wanted to capture Shen Qinghan because the Water God was hiding in Shen Qinghan's Consciousness Sea.

Now that the Water God is in His hands, Shen Qinghan is of no value to Him, and He can escape if He wants.

After completely controlling Lin Zichen and Qi Qingmo.

The Wood God turned his gaze back to the Water God before him, and said with a look of regret:

"Actually, you are the most suitable vessel for me."

"Unfortunately, I need to sacrifice your physical body to merge with the Water Origin, to achieve my grand undertaking of unifying the five elements and help me reach a higher Biological Rank."

After saying that, He added with a hint of smugness, "You schemed against the Gold God, you schemed against the Fire God, you schemed against the Earth God, and now you're even scheming against me."

"Someone as calculating as you, did you ever imagine that one day you would fall into my hands?"

As He spoke, His gaze remained fixed on the Water God's face, trying to see a trace of resentment.

However, the Water God remained calm and composed throughout.

Not seeing the expected resentment on the Water God's face, the Wood God couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, this sense of loss was fleeting, replaced by an eager excitement.

This was a surge of excitement stemming from the impending unification of the five elements within oneself.

"Fine, since you're unwilling to speak, then begin to become a part of my body now!"

After speaking, the Wood God immediately unleashed an astonishing burst of Mental Power, transforming into strands of energy that bound the illusory Water God into an impenetrable cocoon.

Then, quickly pull it into your own Consciousness Sea and assimilate it, making it a part of your own Consciousness Sea.

Once the Water God is completely assimilated, we can begin to integrate the Water Origin contained within the Water God's body, achieving the long-awaited unity of the five elements.

During the fusion process, the Wood God can truly feel the silky smoothness and coolness of the Water Origin, as well as the tranquility that belongs to the water element.

These attributes, which are inherent to Water Origin, gave Him an excellent experience, a feeling of ethereal bliss.

As the Water Origin merges more and more.

Gradually, the Wood God began to sense the water element in the world.

When the water element was halfway combined, He discovered that He could control all the water elements He sensed with a thought, condensing them into various shapes He desired.

Just as He was trying to manipulate the water element.

Suddenly, something strange happened to His body.

Um?

What happened?

Why do I feel like my very essence is being slowly devoured?

Is it just an illusion?

The Wood God, noticing something amiss in his body, sensed that something was wrong.

Previously, when He fused the three Five Elements Origin metal, fire, and earth deep in the sea, His Wood Origin experienced a distinct sense of being devoured.

But at this moment, when merging with the Water Origin, he felt as if his own Wood Origin was being slowly devoured by the Water Origin, which was very strange.

Just as the Wood God was feeling very uneasy.

Suddenly, a familiar, clear, and cold voice echoed from the depths of the Wood God 'Consciousness Sea: "Your feeling is correct; I am indeed devouring your Wood Origin."

It's the voice of the Water God!

Upon hearing that familiar, cold voice, the Wood God's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with fear.

He could not understand why the Water God was still alive, or why he still possessed consciousness.

Until, the voice of the Water God resounded once more from the depths of His Consciousness Sea: "A skilled hunter often appears as the prey."

"From beginning to end, you were just a pawn in my game."

"My physical body alone is simply insufficient to achieve the unity of the five elements, because it cannot withstand the backlash from the fusion of the Five Elements Origin."

"But you, possessing the Biological Attribute of Endless Vitality, are different. Your physical body can withstand the backlash from the fusion of the Five Elements Origin, so... I want your physical body."

As the Water God finished speaking, a large amount of His Mental Power surged out from the Wood God's Consciousness Sea of the Consciousness Sea, rapidly polluting it at a visible speed.

"Ah... ah... ahhh!!!"

At this moment, the Wood God clearly felt that he was losing control of his own body, and then an unbearable pain swept over his entire body, causing him to let out an extremely painful scream.

At the same time, the surrounding vines began to lose moisture, becoming withered and decaying, and soon turned into wood chips that fell everywhere, completely losing their vitality.

Thanks to this, Lin Zichen and Qi Qingmo, who were trapped in the cicada pupa, successfully escaped and returned to the bright outside world from the pitch-black darkness.

The moment he escaped, Lin Zichen looked towards the Wood God of the sound, completely bewildered as to what had happened.

During the time he was trapped inside the cicada pupa, he lost all his senses and could not perceive the outside world.

He had no way of knowing what had happened in between.

Qi Qingmo, standing to the side, did the same.

Just as the two were puzzled by this --

The Wood God endured the excruciating pain without letting out a scream, sacrificing his very essence to unleash an extremely powerful Mental Power, attempting to wrest control of his body back from the Water God.

Through this dangerous act of self-destruction, He successfully wrested some control of His body from the Water God and gradually gained the upper hand.

"Water God!"

"You've calculated everything, but didn't you realize that your strength is far inferior to mine when the four elements are combined?"

"Before absolute power, all schemes and tricks are futile!"

"With your pathetic strength, you dare to use me as a pawn to help you achieve your delusion of unifying the five elements!"

"You, as weak as an ant, don't deserve it!!!"

Having successfully regained most of his body control, the Wood God let out a deafening roar, wildly venting the negative emotions he had just suppressed.

Faced with the Wood God's desperate cries, the Water God merely uttered two words: "Is that so?"

The moment those two words were uttered, the Wood God, who had painstakingly regained most of his control over his body, instantly had it all taken back by the Water God.

Then, the Water God unleashed a massive amount of Mental Power, completely occupying the Wood God's entire Consciousness Sea, and began to erode the Wood God's will.

"No!!!"

Sensing its impending demise, the Wood God let out a roar filled with terror.

With his last remaining consciousness, he unleashed a frenzied burst of energy within him to prevent the Water God from extinguishing his will.

However, the Water God's mental suppression was far more powerful than He had imagined.

No matter how much energy He unleashed, His will was relentlessly suppressed by the Water God, constantly being worn down and diminished.

Even when his will was completely extinguished, he refused to believe that he, who was the unity of the four elements, was merely a pawn of the Water God.

From beginning to end, everything He did was led by the nose by the Water God.

After overcoming countless hardships to successfully unite the four elements, in the end, it only became a vessel for the Water God's five elements to unite.

He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Below.

Lin Zichen and Qi Qingmo listened to the entire conversation between the two Five Elements Gods and witnessed firsthand the tragic death of the Wood God at the hands of the Water God, which triggered a series of strange phenomena in the heavens and earth.

The two were filled with disbelief at the sight, and a strong sense of unease welled up inside them.

Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!

The Wood God, who was just one step away from achieving the perfect union of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), turned out to be nothing more than a pawn of the Water God!

The Water God, who had been hiding in Shen Qinghan's Consciousness Sea, was the mastermind behind all of this!
