Evolving infinitely from ground zero Chapter 571: 325, Break the Limits of Carbon-based Life! Multiple Forms!
Previously on Evolving infinitely from ground zero...
Gale-force winds.
Tremors in the earth.
Freezing snowstorms.
Chaotic magnetic fields.
Tremors through space itself…
As the Water God, having successfully achieved Five Elements Unification, stepped through the void to descend upon Kyoto University, the disasters within a hundred-mile radius intensified instantly, forcing the world to face a literal apocalypse.
The moment Lin Zichen laid eyes on the Water God, his instincts flared, and he immediately channeled his spirit and Blood Qi Power, preparing for a lethal confrontation.
Deep down, however, a sense of bewilderment gnawed at him.
He found it difficult to grasp why this deity, having already reached the pinnacle of Five Elements Unification, would bother appearing here.
Since the entity had already achieved its ultimate goal, what could possibly remain in this place that it still craved?
While he was lost in thought, the usually quiet Shen Qinghan suddenly spoke up, asking, "Mythical beings can already attain immortality and possess immense power. Why, then, are you prepared to risk the total annihilation of both Earth and the Origin Land just to advance further? What is the point of it all?"
"If both Earth and the Origin Land are wiped out, you will be the solitary living soul left in existence. Won't you be consumed by loneliness?"
Though Shen Qinghan spoke these words, her voice was faint and lacked any real weight.
Nevertheless, the challenge left Lin Zichen in a state of shock.
It was beyond his imagination that Shen Qinghan, who had been timid and yielding since her youth, would find the courage to interrogate the Water God—a being that had mastered the Five Elements Unification.
This was completely out of character for her.
"The cosmos is vast, containing other dimensions where life thrives. Loneliness will not be an issue," the Water God answered her challenge, its voice devoid of any human warmth.
Among the Five Elements Gods who represented the very foundations of the universe, this being was the most detached from emotion. It was willing to discard everything in its singular pursuit of evolving into a superior life form.
Upon hearing this response, Shen Qinghan was struck by the sheer cruelty of its logic.
Summoning her remaining resolve, she looked directly into the Water God’s eyes and pressed further, "Even if other worlds exist, it will not be simple for an outsider like you to integrate into them."
"It is of no consequence; I shall simply forge a new world," the Water God stated with chilling indifference.
Following those words, a sharp "crack" echoed.
Below, Shen Qinghan was instantly transformed into a statue of ice.
Her attempt to reason had failed; she was now trapped in a frozen prison by the Water God's power.
"Han Han!"
Seeing her daughter suddenly encased in ice, Xu Meng, standing nearby, let out an instinctive cry of terror.
Forcing herself to stay calm, she turned to Lin Zichen with a desperate plea, "Xiao Chen, please, save her..."
Before the request was even finished, Lin Zichen had already moved, discharging a wave of searing Blood Qi Power that shattered the ice and liberated Shen Qinghan.
Emerging from her frozen state, Shen Qinghan appeared dazed and confused.
The Water God’s ice had done more than just bind her body; it had paralyzed her consciousness.
During those few seconds of being frozen, her mind had gone completely blank, leaving her unaware of what had transpired.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, another sharp freezing sound resonated.
Right after he had saved Shen Qinghan, Lin Zichen found himself immobilized within an ice sculpture.
Yet, in a mere heartbeat, Lin Zichen erupted with an overwhelming and blazing Blood Qi Power, exploding the ice to fragments as he lunged toward the Water God in the heavens.
He understood that the Water God had initiated the strike.
If a decisive battle was unavoidable, then it would begin here and now.
"Pavilion Master, take the others and retreat; please protect them for me!"
Lin Zichen roared this command to Qi Qingmo as he ascended to meet his foe.
Qi Qingmo didn't waste time with words; she acted instantly, pulling Shen Qinghan and the parents into the expansive sleeves of her Taoist robe before flying away from the center of the conflict to escape the impending devastation.
No sooner had they cleared the area than a massive explosion rocked the air behind them, tearing through the atmosphere.
Glancing back at the noise, Qi Qingmo saw a pillar of fire reaching toward the firmament.
In truth, it was a massive tide of Blood Qi that had painted the entire sky in shades of crimson.
Such incredible power!
The intensity of this Blood Qi Power was already on the verge of outstripping the limits of what a mythical being should possess...
Watching the eruption of Blood Qi and feeling the violent energy ripples, Qi Qingmo’s elegant, composed face was masked with visible shock.
Lin Zichen's rate of evolution was terrifying.
In under two years, his Biological Level had surged from "High Level" to the "Great Perfection of the Ninth Order of Mythical Level." Even more shocking, the biological aura he projected seemed to exceed his actual level, nearly transcending the Mythical rank altogether—it was beyond comprehension.
…
"Boom… boom… boom!"
High above, the thunderous sounds of their clash continued to erupt without pause.
A single glance revealed a world consumed by fire, the flames illuminating the entire landscape.
At the epicenter of the blaze, Lin Zichen, shrouded in his Blood Qi Power, fought with unstoppable strength, raining punch after punch upon the Water God.
Every strike he delivered carried energy that broke past the mythic ceiling.
Wherever his fists struck, the fabric of space buckled and collapsed, sending echoes through the void.
Any matter caught in the crossfire was erased by the sheer force of his blows, reduced to nothingness.
Despite these cataclysmic attacks, the Water God remained unscathed, protected by a sudden shimmer of Golden Origin energy that blocked every hit effortlessly.
This was the defensive essence of the Golden Origin, granting the Vajra Invincible effect, which massively boosted the deity's durability.
Seeing this, Lin Zichen’s brow furrowed, but he quickly hardened his resolve. Gritting his teeth, he sacrificed his Essence Blood without hesitation to summon a level of Blood Qi Strength never seen before—a terrifying force capable of shattering space itself—and slammed it into the golden-clad Water God.
"Boom!!!"
The impact was like the birth of a supernova; a deafening roar filled the world, and within a hundred miles, everything touched by the shockwave was ground into dust.
Amidst the explosion, a slender figure glowing with golden light was blown out of the inferno, crashing into the earth and kicking up a massive cloud of debris.
Simultaneously, glowing text appeared in the empty air.
[You have delivered a strike that reaches the absolute threshold of Earth’s carbon-based lifeforms.]
[Achievement: Reached the limit of Earth’s carbon-based life 100 times in total.]
[Reward: Acquired Biometric Attribute—Multiple Forms.]
[Multiple Forms: Your physical vessel is no longer restricted by the limitations of carbon-based flesh, allowing for evolution beyond standard biological structures.]
[Current Progress: 1/100.]
A new achievement quest?
Reading the notification, Lin Zichen was genuinely startled.
It had been so long since he had seen a new quest that the system had almost slipped his mind.
His shock soon turned into a quiet excitement.
Only 99 more times!
He simply needed to land 99 more strikes with the same intensity as that last blow, and he would shatter the boundaries of carbon-based life, achieving a transformation that crossed lifeforms!
Once that happened, he would surely have the power to overwhelm the Water God and its Five Elements Unification!
Since he was four months old, when he struggled to finish [10,000 kicks on the crib] to get the [Use It or Lose It] attribute, he had relied on these system achievements to grow.
Every Biometric Attribute he had earned was so insanely powerful it defied logic, giving him absolute faith in this new "Multiple Forms" ability.
