Liang Yuan appears after a devastating battle, his presence confirmed by the survivors. Zhang Wenjing and Aftershock are shocked to discover that Yuan Shijie, a powerful military leader, was killed by Liang Yuan and his body gruesomely mutilated. Realizing Liang Yuan's immense power and potential for further destruction, Zhang Wenjing rushes to warn the Water God Sect while Aftershock is tasked with notifying their superiors and considering Sun Ming's plea to join the military.
"The Water God incarnate?" Liang Yuan cast a peculiar glance at Wu Wenfang, who had adopted a Water Elementalization state before him. "I always thought your creation of the Water God Sect was merely a facade, a belief system to deceive the populace. Are you now deluding yourselves as well?" Wu Wenfang lifted his head, his gaze deep with meaning as he addressed Liang Yuan: "Mr. Liang, in this world, without deities, how do you account for the origin of this catastrophic deluge?" "And if there are no divine beings, how do you explain the emergence of superpowers beneath this immense flood?" "Since the era of ancient legends, humanity has recounted tales of a great flood. Now, it seems history is merely repeating itself, a divine retribution once more." "We can discern divine omens, revere the Water God, and perhaps, when Noah’s Ark makes its descent, we devout followers might secure passage, preserving a sliver of humanity for the future." Wu Wenfang spoke with eyes ablaze, as though he could vividly perceive the unfolding of future events. Liang Yuan found himself somewhat at a loss for words: "You might sway others, but do you truly believe I will fall for your preposterous claims?" "While the source of this great flood remains an enigma for now, the absence of an explanation does not necessitate attributing it to supernatural entities." "It could be a natural catastrophe, or perhaps a mutation originating from outer space; there are countless potential explanations." Wu Wenfang let out a chuckle and posed a question: "Tell me, what sort of beings are we to those we can effortlessly crush like ants?" "Would we not appear divine in their eyes, in a sense?" "Mr. Liang, just as we are to them, there may be unknown entities observing us from above, scrutinizing our existence." "They might not be omnipotent gods, but to us, in our feebleness, they represent beings akin to deities." "Contemplating it this way, what is truly wrong with venerating them?" Liang Yuan responded with a sneer: "Does veneration yield results? Have ants ever worshipped humans? Do you even know if they acknowledge your worship?" "Placing your faith in such ethereal concepts is characteristic of your cult's perverse practices." "Shouldn't the sole path for humanity to forge its destiny lie in living in the present, in self-improvement, and in surpassing personal limits?" Wu Wenfang remained silent, shaking his head: "I understand that my words will likely not penetrate your conviction today. However, when you encounter the Tide Brain, you will undoubtedly comprehend the truth of my statements." Liang Yuan regarded him, a flicker of curiosity about this so-called Tide Brain beginning to stir within him. "Very well, escort me to your Water God." he declared mockingly. Unperturbed by his attitude, Wu Wenfang swiftly guided Liang Yuan toward the heart of the rainforest, heading for a colossal edifice. It presented as a silver-white structure, seemingly inverted within the lush greenery, appearing from a distance like the fractured shell of a massive silver-white egg. Surrounding this white structure, a multitude of adepts from the Water God Sect had assembled, their gazes fixed upon the approaching Liang Yuan as if confronting a formidable adversary. Liang Yuan observed that these individuals had discarded their uniform white robes of the Water God Sect, revealing toned, muscular physiques. Many bore scales upon their skin, and gill-like organs were visible on their necks. The eyes of some shimmered with a vivid green hue. Liang Yuan paused, assessing the situation, and inquired: "Are all members of your Water God Sect transforming into merfolk through the use of superpowers?" Their altered appearances bore a resemblance to Zhang Peng and Ji Xiaoyu, yet with distinct differences. Liang Yuan detected subtle signs of surgical intervention on them. Wu Wenfang offered a candid explanation: "They are Abyssal Stalkers who willingly submitted to Tide Brain indoctrination. They have also undergone gill-lung transplantation, a process of induced genetic mutation directed by technique." Liang Yuan let out a dry laugh; the notion of willingness in such circumstances was difficult to accept. He reasoned that the Water God Sect first instilled its religious doctrines into these individuals, effectively brainwashing them subtly. How could their subsequent actions be deemed voluntary? Every one of these figures stared intently at Liang Yuan, their eyes conveying a distinct undercurrent of animosity. Their expressions suggested that a mere command would send them surging forward to attack Liang Yuan. Wu Wenfang explained: "They already perceive the Water God as their sovereign. Anyone who insults the Water God is deemed a transgressor in their eyes; I trust Mr. Liang will understand." Liang Yuan scoffed: "I harbor no concerns; any individual who dares to raise a weapon against me is already as good as dead." Wu Wenfang lowered his head, hesitant to meet Liang Yuan’s penetrating gaze. The pair proceeded onward, soon entering the immense structure resembling an eggshell. Instead of proceeding directly inside, Liang Yuan promptly extended his Spiritual Power to scan the interior of the colossal eggshell. "Hmm?" Soon after, a frown creased his brow; this peculiar eggshell possessed defensive properties against Spiritual Power. Despite exerting his Spiritual Power, he found it impossible to penetrate the enigmatic shell structure. Liang Yuan’s advance halted. Noticing his unusual behavior, Wu Wenfang turned and inquired: "Mr. Liang, why have you stopped?"

Liang Yuan let out a smirk. "How would I know if there are traps inside?"

Wu Wenfang laughed, "I didn’t expect Mr. Liang to be so cautious. It’s hardly like the domineering spirit you showed at Cangqiong Mountain."

Liang Yuan countered, "I noticed a problem with you too. On Cangqiong Mountain, you fled immediately upon seeing me, running wildly without daring to look back."

"Now seeing me again, you are not only calm but also speak confidently."

"This demeanor of yours, I am not accustomed to."

Wu Wenfang frowned slightly, then smiled, "Being back in Miyuan Rainforest, with the support of the Water God, it’s normal for me to be a bit bolder."

Liang Yuan chuckled, "Different times, different situations. At Cangqiong Mountain, I was on a killing spree, initiating the attack when timing and location were in my favor."

"But now it’s different; you’ve returned to this place ahead of me. I’m unfamiliar with it, so there’s no harm in being cautious."

"What do you intend to do?" Wu Wenfang inquired.

Suddenly, Liang Yuan’s mouth curled into a grin. In the next instant, his figure vanished abruptly.

Wu Wenfang froze momentarily. Then, while in his water element state, he suddenly found his feet immobile.

The ground was rapidly being enveloped by an intense chill.

In the blink of an eye, this chill spread with alarming speed.

Liang Yuan’s voice emanated from beside him, "I think killing you first is a safer option!"

Bang!

Wen Fang’s face changed dramatically. His body suddenly exploded, transforming into countless streams of water that rapidly merged with the airborne moisture.

In an instant, he utilized his elementalization ability to execute a swift water escape.

On the ground, only a pair of frozen feet remained, seemingly welded to the earth.

Liang Yuan chuckled, "Escape? Where can you possibly escape to?"

His figure flickered, and numerous ice crystals on his body whirled, transforming into gigantic ice chains!

Clink—

The massive ice chains swept wildly through the void!

The ice block chains collided, emitting crisp, clanging sounds.

Wherever they shot past, the air froze, coating surfaces with a thick layer of frost.

Water molecules were instantly frozen into ice particles and rained down.

Wen Fang rapidly fled within the water vapor, but as more and more of his surroundings were frozen, his range of escape became increasingly limited.

The ice attribute truly possesses overwhelming suppressive power against the water attribute.

Wen Fang, suspended in mid-air, shouted angrily, "Mr. Liang, we’ve already surrendered. Do you really have to go this far?"

"Can’t you give us a way out?"

With his angry roar, those from the Water God Sect below, who had already harbored resentment against Liang Yuan, all took action.

These individuals, known as ’Abyssal Stalkers,’ charged at Liang Yuan recklessly.

Liang Yuan merely let out a light laugh. He leaped up, soaring into the air.

Suddenly, most of the Abyssal Stalkers on the ground were filled with impotent hatred, as few among them possessed the ability to take to the air.

The majority could only stare up at Liang Yuan from below with fiery eyes, beginning to hurl insults.

"Blasphemous sinner, dare to use force before a divine being! Come down!"

"Beast, if you dare, come down."

"Damn land hybrid, come down!"

These people shouted angry insults, some even uttering strange phrases like 'land hybrid.'

It was as if they no longer considered themselves land creatures.

Some even picked up fish spears, crossbows, firearms, and other weapons, shooting at Liang Yuan in the sky.

However, Liang Yuan swept his telekinesis outwards, enveloping the area beneath him and forming a telekinetic barrier.

Immediately, all incoming attacks exploded upon the barrier with a roar, utterly failing to touch Liang Yuan in the slightest.

Soon, Liang Yuan’s chains completely sealed off the airborne water vapor, leaving Wen Fang with no viable path of escape.

He, resembling a mass of water, reformed into his human shape, standing in the void, his face extremely unsightly.

"Mr. Liang, do you really have to go this far?"

Liang Yuan sneered, "Too far? I never put myself in a dangerous situation. Now tell me, what’s inside that eggshell building. I might just spare your life."

Wen Fang remained silent. Suddenly, his figure dove swiftly towards the ground.

However, just as he was about to move, a powerful spiritual force swept over him.

Boom!

The spiritual power, like a massive hammer, crashed directly into Wen Fang’s mind.

In an instant, Wen Fang’s water-elementalized body trembled violently, akin to a television with a poor signal. His body was forcibly reverted from its water elemental state to human flesh and blood!

Countless puppet threads quickly burrowed into him, as Liang Yuan used them to directly control his movements.

Wen Fang’s face was filled with alarm and anger. He wanted to fight back, but his body was no longer under his own control.

Under Liang Yuan’s manipulation, he flew powerlessly towards Liang Yuan.

As Liang Yuan stood before him, he looked at the other man and queried, "Still unwilling to speak?"

Wen Fang's lips moved, and Liang Yuan released his control over the facial nerves.

"I don't know what you wish for me to say. I arrived with the goodwill of the Tidal Mainframe, yet you show no faith. What can I possibly do?"

"Heh, if the Tidal Mainframe holds such sincerity, why does it not emerge to face me?"

"Such a grand display has me thinking you were some sort of winner."

Wen Fang stated, "The Tidal Mainframe cannot be shifted without cause. You shall comprehend once you witness it from within."

Liang Yuan let out a laugh. "This domed structure barely resembles a human construction. Do you truly expect me to trust you? To venture into such a place where telekinesis cannot penetrate?"

Wen Fang offered no reply.

Liang Yuan simply turned his back, proclaiming, "Then let's discover what truly lies concealed within."

Wen Fang abruptly looked up, exclaiming, "What is it you intend to do?"

Disregarding him, Liang Yuan's form liquified, transforming instantly into a mist of blood. Through gene recombination, he rapidly morphed into a colossal white bear, easily exceeding ten meters in height!

Clad in ice armor, the immense bear emanated a formidable aura.

An Ice Bear!

Under Wen Fang's astonished and enraged gaze, Liang Yuan struck his massive ursine body.

Swish!

The dense ice armor detached and coalesced with astonishing speed, reforming into countless fragments around him, swiftly shaping a colossal sphere of ice!

A cold laugh echoed from within the icy orb, belonging to Liang Yuan.

"If it refuses to emerge, then let it remain trapped inside forever!"

Bang!

In the subsequent moment, the ice sphere, resembling a celestial meteorite, streaked through the void with a resounding roar, hurtling violently towards the domed edifice!

Ice Star Collision!
