Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Connecting the battlefield to the Abyss?

What does that mean?

Isn't the Abyss Earth?

The Water God's words directly overturned Lin Zichen's previous speculation.

Lin Zichen had previously speculated that Earth and the Abyss were the same thing.

But according to what the Water God is now saying, Earth and the Abyss are two different spaces.

Thinking this, Lin Zichen asked the Water God, "What exactly is the relationship between Earth and the Abyss?"

"An overlapping relationship."

The Water God answered in a cool voice.

After speaking, She continued, "Earth and the Abyss are two completely overlapping spaces that basically do not affect each other, except under very rare circumstances when they can communicate."

"There is a kind of void creature in the Abyss that resembles a butterfly, which can enter other spaces through dreams, thereby creating a connection between the two spaces."

"Now, you just need to enter sleep, and in the dream find that kind of butterfly, and I can connect Earth to the Abyss."

"..."

"The kind of butterfly you're talking about, is it a giant butterfly with a crimson body surface that diffuses light spots containing a large amount of Origin Force?" Lin Zichen asked.

After hearing the Water God's description, he felt that the butterfly mentioned by the Water God was the Abyss Giant Butterfly.

The Water God said indifferently, "Yes, the butterfly I just mentioned is the giant butterfly with a crimson surface that you referred to."

After saying that, she continued, "This giant butterfly is an extremely special entity, made up of condensed Life Origin energy left behind by various Alien Races that died in the Abyss."

"To be strict, it doesn't count as a living being."

"..."

So the so-called Abyss Giant Butterfly is just a special energy mass, not a creature as we understand it. No wonder there is almost no sense of vitality in them...

Lost in thought, Lin Zichen asked another question, "I have another question. What exactly is the existence known as the Son of the Abyss, and why am I the Son of the Abyss?"

The Water God replied, "Strictly speaking, you are not the Son of the Abyss; the Son of the Abyss, like the butterflies in the Abyss, is an energy mass."

"The only difference is that the Son of the Abyss is a more special energy mass that continuously devours energy that matches its own characteristics."

"And you only possess some characteristics of the Son of the Abyss."

"..."

After hearing this, Lin Zichen couldn't help but become even more confused.

I only have some of the characteristics of the Son of the Abyss?

What does that mean?

Unwilling to guess on his own, he decided to ask the Water God directly and save himself the trouble, "Why do I possess some characteristics of the Son of the Abyss?"

The Water God replied, "Because your parents fused with the Son of the Abyss, but their physical bodies were weak and couldn't absorb the Son of the Abyss, they could only coexist with it."

"And you, born from their union, could fuse with the Son of the Abyss, which is why you have the characteristics of the Son of the Abyss."

In order to prevent Lin Zichen from asking again after hearing this, the Water God began to proactively explain other points:

"The Son of the Abyss is something I brought from the Abyss. Your parents were able to fuse with the Son of the Abyss because of my arrangement."

"Back when I was being pursued by the Wood God and was forced to flee into the Abyss, I accidentally obtained the Son of the Abyss and then entered the Earth."

"After entering Earth, because the Son of the Abyss was unstable, I chose to store it in your parents' Sea of Consciousness."

"And I myself entered a woman's Sea of Consciousness who had a relatively outstanding Water Attribute and went into hibernation."

"This woman was the mother of your childhood sweetheart Shen Qinghan—Xu Meng."

"While I was hibernating, the energy I emitted continuously nourished Xu Meng; when she became pregnant with your childhood sweetheart, I switched to nourishing your childhood sweetheart, ensuring she was born with an exceptionally outstanding Water Attribute."

"Then, on the day your childhood sweetheart was about to be born, I switched to her Sea of Consciousness to continue my slumber, waiting for the day I would fully awaken."

After explaining this point, the Water God quickly went on to explain others:

"Living Beings from Origin Land who want to enter Earth must pass through the Abyss that overlaps with Earth."

"And the Abyss, for Living Beings that use Origin Force as their Life Origin energy, is a terrifying Life Forbidden Zone; once they're within it, their internal Origin Force will be continually devoured."

"Even strong beings like me and the Wood God cannot resist the devouring power of the Abyss."

"The only reason I was able to successfully pass through the Abyss and enter Earth was thanks to my ability for Elementalization."

"In an Elementalized state, I could greatly reduce the speed at which the Abyss devoured my Origin Force."

"That was how I survived by sneaking into Earth back then."

"And the Wood God, who couldn't get past the Abyss back then, spent years of painstaking research and successfully found a way to enter Earth through the Abyss without harm—that is, by establishing a Biological Passage."

Pausing there, the Water God continued:

"Because Earth overlaps with the Abyss, it also possesses some of the Abyss's characteristics, such as suppressing Living Beings that use Origin Force as their Life Origin energy."

"The difference is, Earth doesn't devour Origin Force like the Abyss does; it suppresses Origin Force, preventing part of a Living Being's internal Origin Force from participating in bodily functions."

"And this is what you often refer to as Domain Power suppression on Earth."

"When I first entered Earth, the Domain Power was very strong, and it suppressed my Biological Level down to Legendary Level."

"But after so many years of weakening, the Domain Power on Earth is now almost nonexistent, its suppression on Living Beings from Origin Land extremely weak, so weak it's practically non-existent."

"No, to be more precise, it's not that the Domain Power has disappeared, but that it no longer suppresses Living Beings from Origin Land."
