Evolving infinitely from ground zero Chapter 576 328, Final Chapter! Grand Finale! _2
Previously on Evolving infinitely from ground zero...
"Indeed,"
Qi Qingmo gave a slight nod, refraining from asking anything further.
Lin Zichen offered no deeper explanation, his attention remaining on the creatures of Earth as they were nourished by the Origin Force.
After observing the scene for a moment, Qi Qingmo spoke with a voice as calm as still water, "I intend to seek out a chance to advance my Biological Level once more. We shall meet again when the opportunity arises."
"Understood. Pavilion Master, please take care,"
Lin Zichen gave a composed reply.
Every existence at the mythical Ninth Order yearned to evolve toward the exalted Creator Level.
The Wood God sought it.
The Water God sought it.
And Qi Qingmo was no exception.
A short while later,
Under the watchful eyes of Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan,
Qi Qingmo’s form blurred, transforming into a streak of crimson light as she set off to meticulously scout every corner of the Origin Land.
The Origin Land was a place of antiquity, concealing numerous secrets that had been sealed away for ages.
She was convinced that besides the Five Elements Unification, other paths to reaching the Creator Level had to exist.
After all, Lin Zichen himself had attained the Creator Level without relying on the Five Elements Unification.
If such alternative methods of evolution truly existed as she suspected, the Origin Land was the most likely place to find them.
Watching from behind,
Lin Zichen followed Qi Qingmo's departure with similar thoughts—he also desired to uncover different ways to reach the Creator Level.
This wasn't for his own sake, but for Shen Qinghan; he wanted her to ascend to the Creator Level as well.
If it were possible, he even hoped to evolve his parents and his sister to the Creator Level, ensuring they could gain eternal life and remain by his side forever.
To live for eternity in solitude, merely watching his family grow old and pass away, would be a deeply tragic fate.
...
Time passed swiftly.
Two and a half years had vanished in the blink of an eye.
Throughout this period, Lin Zichen focused his efforts on resolving the issues regarding the coexistence of Earth and the Origin Land.
He worked to ensure both worlds could adapt to the presence of the other.
Utilizing his unrivaled power, he managed to fully integrate Earth with the Origin Land.
Furthermore, to safeguard the more vulnerable lifeforms of Earth, he established a one-sided restriction on the gateways connecting the two realms.
Because of these restrictions, those from Earth could move into the Origin Land at will, yet the inhabitants of the Origin Land were restricted to their own territory, forbidden from entering Earth.
Any creature from the Origin Land wishing to cross over required explicit permission from the designated authorities.
The individual placed in charge of this oversight was Yuan Dongzhi—the former vice-chancellor of Shan University.
She was also the mentor of Shen Qinghan.
Having great respect for Yuan Dongzhi’s integrity, Lin Zichen was comfortable delegating such significant power to her.
Alongside Yuan Dongzhi,
Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan were entrusted with the vital task of overseeing the growth of the Pureblood Human Path.
They were also tasked with researching how to lower the requirements for the Pureblood Human Path, allowing common people to evolve through Body Refinement.
Ultimately, whether it was mechanical modification or Genetic Fusion, both methods felt somewhat contrary to human nature.
The Pureblood Human Path remained the most appropriate Evolution Path for mankind.
...
One morning, just as the first light of dawn appeared,
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were still resting in bed when a rhythmic knocking came from their door.
Soon, the high-pitched voice of a child echoed through:
"Chen Chen Brother, Han Han Sister, mom says it's time to get up for breakfast!"
It was his younger sister, Lin Ziying.
Recognizing her voice, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan quickly got out of bed and left their room.
"Come here, little Yingying, let sister carry you."
Still in her pajamas, Shen Qinghan picked up the small Lin Ziying, her expression full of warmth.
Young Lin Ziying was incredibly cute, possessing bright, twinkling eyes and chubby cheeks that practically invited people to squeeze and cuddle her.
The three of them soon gathered in the dining area to eat.
As they took their seats, Zhang Wanxin inquired, "Since you two picked up your marriage certificate yesterday, when are you planning to hold the wedding feast?"
Lin Zichen, sipping his porridge, replied, "Han Han and I are fine with any date. Mom, you should handle the arrangements; you and dad can work it out with Uncle Jianye and Aunt Meng."
"You're still calling them Uncle Jianye and Aunt Meng? You and Han Han were officially registered yesterday, you should be calling them mom and dad now."
Zhang Wanxin gave Lin Zichen a pointed look, correcting him.
At that moment, Lin Ziying chimed in, "Chen Chen Brother, Han Han Sister, you need to hurry and give me a little brother or sister to play with! I want a sibling!"
Zhang Wanxin laughed and corrected her, "That wouldn't be a sibling; they would be your little nephew or niece."
She then turned her gaze toward Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, adding with a hint of pressure, "Speaking of which, when do you two intend to have children?"
To this, Lin Zichen answered, "We’ll just let nature take its course. It will happen when it happens."
Dissatisfied with the answer, Zhang Wanxin said, "That won't do. You definitely need to plan for a pregnancy; it shouldn't be handled so casually."
"Fine, we will do as you say, mom."
Not wanting to stress over the details, Lin Zichen simply handed the responsibility over, leaving the planning entirely to Zhang Wanxin.
...
Two weeks later,
The wedding day for Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan finally arrived.
The ceremony was not flashy, focusing instead on a cozy and intimate atmosphere.
It was a simple gathering of the two families and a handful of their closest companions.
Since Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin were online authors who spent most of their time writing at home, they didn't have a wide social circle.
Their primary friends were their in-laws, the teachers Shen Jianye and Xu Meng.
Much like them, Shen Jianye and Xu Meng were also homebodies who lacked a large network of relatives or friends.
Consequently, the two families only invited a few direct relatives from their old hometowns.
The guest list was small, totaling only about a dozen people.
As for the couple themselves, neither Lin Zichen nor Shen Qinghan were particularly social, so their own guest list was equally modest, consisting of only about ten people.
