Evolving infinitely from ground zero Chapter 577 328, Final Chapter! Grand Finale! _3
Previously on Evolving infinitely from ground zero...
He Yu, Li Chuxin, Yuan Dongzhi, Liu Chuanwu, Song Yuyan, Qi Qingmo, Ma Xiwei, Li Moyu, Luo Yongjian, and Luo Qianxue were all present.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were not particularly close to Luo Qianxue, despite her being a childhood companion. Her invitation was more of a necessity, as she was a disciple under Yuan Dongzhi.
Consequently, the guest list for Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan’s beautiful wedding consisted of only about thirty individuals, which meant only four large tables had to be arranged at their residence.
Because of the small scale, the wedding was held right at their home.
The dishes served were all home-cooked.
Even the drinks and spirits were crafted by their own hands.
They avoided purchasing anything that they could provide themselves.
Whenever a task could be handled personally, they took it upon themselves.
Their goal was to foster a unique atmosphere of ceremony.
The event was intended to hold deep commemorative value.
"Qinghan, why are you and Chen both in casual clothes today? You aren't even wearing a wedding dress?"
Li Chuxin whispered, her voice laced with confusion.
With a gentle smile, Shen Qinghan replied, "Chen and I prefer not to stand out in a crowd, so we chose to forgo traditional wedding attire today."
"I understand..." Li Chuxin said, though she still seemed unconvinced. "But it feels like a shame not to wear a wedding dress today. You’re missing a moment in life that deserves to be commemorated."
Shen Qinghan responded nonchalantly, "I think it is perfectly fine. Chen and I visited Shuangri Bay for a wedding photoshoot a few days ago. Having those pictures as keepsakes is more than enough for us."
"That makes sense."
Li Chuxin nodded in agreement.
Close by, Lin Zichen and Qi Qingmo were seated across from each other at a tea table, engaging in casual conversation.
"Pavilion Master, you have been investigating the Origin Land for over two years now. Have you come across anything of interest?"
Lin Zichen inquired with curiosity.
Throughout the last two and a half years, he had also made frequent trips to the Origin Land, yet his efforts had been fruitless; no items of significant value had been discovered.
He wondered if Qi Qingmo’s experiences had yielded different results.
Qi Qingmo answered simply, "I encountered numerous ancient ruins that contain various evolution pathways. Unfortunately, none reached the Creator Level; they only went as high as the Mythical Level."
This revelation did not shock Lin Zichen.
Had Creator Level pathways been easy to locate, the Water God would not have spent countless Epochs orchestrating the Five Elements Unification.
Qi Qingmo then added, "I believe that to discover new Creator Level evolution pathways, one must explore the mysterious and uncharted Abyss. The Void within the Abyss holds incredible energy. If a Cultivation master could harness that power, surpassing the Mythical Level might be possible."
Lin Zichen found himself in agreement.
He had already conducted thorough searches of both Earth and the Origin Land.
Nothing of great worth had been found in either place.
The Abyss, that unknown Void Land, remained the final frontier.
To be more precise, it wasn't that it hadn't been visited, but rather that deep exploration was incredibly difficult, leaving vast regions untouched.
The Void Land within the Abyss had a tendency to consume the senses of living beings, making any attempt at exploration significantly harder.
Even for someone like Lin Zichen, whose Biological Level had reached the Creator Level and who possessed Abyss energy, his perception was still somewhat dampened upon entering that realm.
...
Times of happiness always seem to fly by.
The day of the wedding feast concluded in what felt like an instant.
That evening, following a bath, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan retired to their room to strengthen their connection. Once they finished, Shen Qinghan rested on her side and asked, "Do you think it's better to have a boy first or a girl?"
"I believe either would be wonderful."
"And what about the timing? Is it better to have a child sooner or later?"
"Either way is fine; we should let fate decide."
"That is such an evasive answer. You aren't allowed to dodge the question; you must pick one."
Shen Qinghan pouted her pink lips slightly, showing her playful annoyance.
Faced with this, Lin Zichen was forced to make a choice. "I’ve given it some thought, and I believe having a baby sooner is better. Since Yingying is still young, if we have a child now, the cousins will be close in age and can grow up playing together."
"I was thinking the exact same thing," Shen Qinghan said, her eyes shimmering and her voice turning soft. "If we want to conceive quickly, we need to be more active."
With those words, she rolled over to sit atop Lin Zichen, prepared to restart the activities they had just concluded.
Lin Zichen was more than happy to oblige. After all, having attained Physical Sanctification, he possessed stamina that would never falter.
...
The days continued to pass.
Roughly two and a half months later.
Shen Qinghan’s wish was granted when she discovered she was pregnant. Sensing the new life beginning to take shape within her Dantian area, her expression was one of pure bliss.
When the parents received the news, they were overjoyed, praising the couple for their success; they had managed to conceive almost immediately.
In response to the parental praise, Lin Zichen merely smiled and kept his peace.
For a being at the Creator Level like Lin Zichen, ensuring Shen Qinghan became pregnant was a simple task.
Had he wanted to, he could have triggered the pregnancy at any specific moment.
Furthermore, no physical exertion was required for the result; a mere thought after their intimacy would have sufficed.
With his immense spiritual power, he could have manually directed the creation of life within her.
However, he preferred a natural process over artificial intervention, choosing to let the Dao of nature take its course.
...
Several months later, Lin Zichen departed from Earth and entered the Abyss, situated between Earth and the Origin Land.
Over the span of nearly three years, he had ventured into the Abyss many times, searching for untapped evolution pathways.
On his previous visits, he had come empty-handed.
This time, however, he carried five glows of varying colors in his palms.
The radiance of Gold Origin.
The radiance of Wood Origin.
The radiance of Water Origin.
The radiance of Fire Origin.
The radiance of Earth Origin.
These were not the complete Five Elements Origin, but rather small fragments of them.
Through nearly three years of diligent study and research, Lin Zichen had gained mastery over these portions of the Five Elements Origin.
His objective in controlling these fragments was not to achieve the Five Elements Unification as the Water God had intended, but rather to reshape the Void Land of the Abyss.
While the Five Elements Origin serves as the core components of a world, the Void Land provides the structural framework.
If fragments of the Five Elements Origin were introduced to the Void Land of the Abyss, life might be nurtured there.
Should life truly take root, the desolate and empty Abyss could potentially transform into a vibrant world, much like Earth or the Origin Land.
"I hope that by introducing the Five Elements Origin, this Life Forbidden Zone can transform into a new realm of vitality, just as I imagined..."
Lin Zichen whispered to himself.
Then, with a single thought, he scattered the Five Elements Origin into every corner of the Abyss, permitting these primal forces to evolve on their own within the Life Forbidden Zone.
Once his task was finished, he did not linger in the Abyss, quickly making his way back to Earth.
Under different circumstances, he would have liked to stay and witness the transformations the Five Elements Origins would bring to the Abyss over time.
But he had more pressing responsibilities to attend to now.
Just a moment ago, his mental link with Shen Qinghan had pierced through the sensory limitations of the Abyss. Across the void, he sensed that Shen Qinghan, now over nine months pregnant, was on the verge of giving birth.
