Evolving infinitely from ground zero

"Huff!"

Lin Zichen exhaled deeply, opening his clear and sharp eyes.

Then he calmed his mind and focused, seriously sensing his body.

The Qi-Blood surged hundreds of times stronger.

The Sea of Consciousness became vast and boundless.

His entire physical body received an immense enhancement.

Especially the attribute of Divine Sense, its coverage expanded by more than a hundredfold.

With but a spread of his spiritual power, he could cover every inch within a hundred miles, clearly sensing even the tiniest of insects within.

Is this what being an Epic Level Creature feels like?

Truly powerful.

He had read about it in books before, that an Epic Level Creature's body is sturdy enough to withstand a nuclear blast, but who knew if it was really as exaggerated as that...

A whirl of thoughts filled Lin Zichen's mind.

Shen Qinghan, sensing the biological pressure radiating from him, which was clearly a notch stronger than before, couldn't help asking excitedly,

"Lin Zi, have you successfully evolved to the Epic Level?"

"Yes, I've evolved to the Epic Level,"

Lin Zichen replied, a faint smile playing at his lips.

Hearing this, Shen Qinghan's face lit up with joy and excitement, her cheeks flushing with elation.

"That's fantastic!"

"You've finally reached the Epic Level!"

"Now you can protect me even better!"

Shen Qinghan said teasingly, her words filled with joy and happiness for Lin Zichen.

On the other hand, Su Jiujie, seeing Lin Zichen evolve into an Epic Level Creature so effortlessly, was completely dumbfounded, her enchanting eyes wide with disbelief.

She couldn't comprehend how Lin Zichen had managed it.

She pondered over it—Lin Zichen hadn't really done anything except for absorbing a dozen or so Blood Demon Flowers—so how could it be so simple to evolve into an Epic Level Creature?

Could it be because of his unique physique, which offered better refining and absorbing efficiency for divine treasures?

Unfathomable.

She simply couldn't comprehend it.

Su Jiujie was lost in her confusion.

Lin Zichen knew she didn't understand, but had no intent to explain.

Seeing that they had rested enough, Lin Zichen said to Shen Qinghan and Su Jiujie, "This place is still too close to the center of the battlefield. For safety's sake, we should continue our journey and move further away."

"Okay, I'll follow your lead,"

Shen Qinghan hadn't expended any energy, as she had been carried by Lin Zichen the entire way, so she was ready to depart at any time.

It was the same with Su Jiujie.

Soon, Lin Zichen took one under each arm and flew high into the sky, speeding off into the distance.

He flew aimlessly, with no particular destination in mind.

The sole purpose of their flight was to get away from the center of the battlefield.

Legendary Level Experts could traverse the void with but a thought.

Without putting some distance between them, they might be affected within minutes.

Su Jiujie noticed that Lin Zichen was flying haphazardly, seemingly without a destination, just to avoid the battlefield's center.

Therefore, with a tentative voice and a hint of pleading, she suggested, "Benefactor, if it's only to avoid the battlefield and not be affected, why don't we fly to the Eastern Region?"

Her address for Lin Zichen had changed from the previous "little bed servant" to "benefactor."

If possible, she really didn't want to refer to Lin Zichen as "benefactor."

But since none other than "little bed servant" felt right, and since she indeed had been saved by Lin Zichen, she decided to simply call him "benefactor."

"I can assure you, as Earthlings, you won't be harmed in the Eastern Region. The reinforcements my aunt asked me to mobilize belong to an expert with strong principles."

Fearing Lin Zichen might still have reservations, Su Jiujie added that sentence.

Without even thinking, Lin Zichen flatly rejected, "Going to the Eastern Region is out of the question; you are not someone I can trust."

Even if Su Jiujie were trustworthy, he wouldn't go to the Eastern Region.

The people from Sun-Moon Sacred Land and the Land of Oblivion were certainly aware that the Mountain Lord of Green Hills Ancient Mountain had an old flame in the Eastern Region.

Therefore, they also knew that should anything happen to the Mountain Lord of Green Hills Ancient Mountain, someone would definitely be sent to the Eastern Region for help.

On that account, the roads to the Eastern Region were likely crawling with people from Sun-Moon Sacred Land and Land of Oblivion, intercepting any Fox Woman from Green Hills Ancient Mountain attempting to seek help.

To Lin Zichen, Su Jiujie was nothing more than a stranger with no association.

If not for the 'Mutually Beneficial Symbiosis' achievement task, he would not have saved Su Jiujie earlier.

Under these circumstances, he would definitely not take Su Jiujie to the Eastern Region to deliver a call for help.

"Benefactor, what must I do for you to take me to the Eastern Region to convey a call for help?"

Su Jiujie asked with a very humble tone.

Lin Zichen decisively refused again, "No matter what, I will not take you to the Eastern Region and put her and myself in danger."

This "her" referred to Shen Qinghan.

"Benefactor, if you take me to the Eastern Region, I am willing to offer my Prime Yin to you. Any Living Being nourished with my Prime Yin will have their Sea of Consciousness rapidly expand, thereby significantly increasing Spirit power,"

Despite two rejections, Su Jiujie persisted in her pleading.

Prime Yin?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Was it her first time?

Lin Zichen was somewhat surprised, not expecting the alluring Su Jiujie to still be untouched.

However, he had no interest whatsoever.

Even though Su Jiujie was breathtakingly beautiful and had the bonus attribute of being a beast-eared girl, he was still not interested.

In his life, he recognized only Shen Qinghan and had never thought about touching another person of the opposite sex.

Holding onto that thought, he refused for the third time calmly, "I've already said it, no matter what, I will not go to the Eastern Region. If you bother me again, I'll let you down right now."

Upon hearing these words, Su Jiujie's face was filled with despair.
