Age of Evolution#

Chapter 1054: 1057 Chapter 1054: 1057 Falling Star Lake, it’s the largest body of water in the Original World, spanning an unfathomable area.

When a Constant Star falls into it, it’s akin to a pebble thrown into the Atlantic Ocean.

Such an ocean’s depth cannot be measured in meters, but rather in kilometers, stellar miles, or even light-years!

Lin Zhen’s real body enters Falling Star Lake, beginning to sink relentlessly.

Just like a missile launched underwater, the descending speed is astonishingly fast.

Fish schools keep appearing around him, as he sinks deeper, normal schools turn into deep-sea ones.

The deeper he gets, the stranger the marine life forms become.

…

Sharks stretching to a hundred meters, squids spread out like little hills, jellyfish larger than buildings, and occasionally, the Flood Dragon causing the overturning of rivers and seas, all appear sporadically within Lin Zhen’s field of view.

However, these creatures dare not approach Lin Zhen.

As an instinct, creatures know to avoid entities stronger than them.

Lin Zhen’s current strength is relatively powerful in the Original World.

After sinking several million kilometers, Lin Zhen stops.

The existence here is some deep-sea microorganisms, larger creatures are already rare to see.

He sits cross-legged in the water, letting his body gradually sink.

To give birth to his alter ego, the first thing he needs to do is to connect the waters of Falling Star Lake to those of the God Realm.

With a thought, the God Realm opens!

Under the influence of Lin Zhen’s thoughts, an invisible passage opens between the two realms.

The water from Falling Star Lake seems to enter a massive gap, streaming straight into the God Realm.

Inside the God Realm, above Lin Zhen’s Earth Core Lake, it is like the sky has opened, the inverted Tianhe, the rushing lake water stormingly pours in.

This rate of inflow counts up to one Dongting Lake per second!

As the colossal water volume enters, the lakeside within Lin Zhen’s body begins to expand incessantly.

Temporarily leaving here aside, Lin Zhen will now do something crucial.

That is to strip away his Soul Power!

This will be a critical process, giving birth to an alter ego will inevitably require stripping away the soul of the subject, then replenishing the lost Soul Power by cultivating Soul Guardians.

Each dismantling requires a hundred units of four types of dark matter.

If the dark matter doesn’t meet this requirement, the stripping of the soul will be suicidal, resulting in complete annihilation without even a chance for resurrection.

“This process is quite dangerous but luckily, I am at the bottom of Falling Star Lake now, and no catastrophes should occur.”

“Let’s begin!”

With a thought, soul stripping begins!

Lin Zhen’s original powerful soul strength starts to split brutally!

Undescribable pain sweeps over him.

Despite Lin Zhen’s countless tribulations, this pain is unbearable.

His body is shuddering, his sweat turns into white smoke in the lake water.

He almost dies from the agony!

Fortunately, this process doesn’t last long, only a minute, otherwise, this pain would surpass even the soul crossing the Black Hole.

A minute later, Lin Zhen looks depleted, his body weak to the extreme.

Most of his soul has split away, just by surviving, it shows how strong his willpower is.

“The elemental alter ego, this kind of pain is hardly bearable for humans, but luckily, I managed to endure it.”

Gigantic pain brings tremendous gains, Lin Zhen’s stripped soul, carrying dense Water Element, is creating a new life inside Earth Core Lake of the God Realm!

Steam from the Earth Core Lake starts to condense, forming a new body.

This body also has meridians and a skeletal structure, blood, and muscles.

But more so, it consists of a light mist.

“This process is also crucial, the more steam that condenses, the stronger the newborn elemental alter ego will be.”

With a thought from Lin Zhen, a Black Hole forms above the alter ego’s head, the surrounding water vapor begins to compress intensely, gathering!

While the water of Earth Core Lake starts to contract rapidly, just like evaporation, rapidly diminishing, it seems on the verge of revealing the lake bed, on the brink of drying up.

“The entrance to the God Realm, open up a bit more!”

The passageway between the God Realm and Falling Star Lake roars open wider, if previously a Dongting Lake entered every second, now it is a South Sea entering every second!

Even so, it still can’t supply enough for the condensation of the Water Element alter ego, with the extreme compression through the Black Hole, this alter ego requires an enormous amount of water.

“My Star Power, burst forth, open to the extreme for me!”

Lin Zhen forcefully pushes his weak body, resolutely opens up his Divine Domain, after a seventy percent increase in his Star Power, it breaks past the two hundred billion mark, reaching two hundred and four billion!

Under the support of such extensive Star Power, the entrance between the two realms enlarges again, previously a South Sea entered every second, now it’s an Indian Ocean entering every second!

The massive water volume floods in, finally catching up to supply for the Water Element alter ego’s consolidation.

Countless lake waters transform into thin streams, into droplets, entering the alter ego’s body, making the alter ego’s body gradually take shape, its features also slowly clarifying.

“The Water Element alter ego is not limited by size, the larger the original form, the better; it needs slow nurturing after the first successful condensation, but the bigger it is initially, the faster it will grow later.”

Above the surface of Earth Core Lake, the newborn Lin Zhen’s body grows larger.

Fifty meters!

One hundred meters!

Five hundred meters!

Three thousand meters!

Like a giant made of water, this body began to grow rapidly.

Ten thousand meters!

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and the Water Element Avatar finally opened its eyes.

“I am water, I am rivers and lakes, I am the sea, I am Lin Zhen!”

The body of the Water Element Avatar shimmered with starlight, and its realm began to rise rapidly.

Warrior, War General, War God, Star Core formation!

Meteor Stage…..

Comet Stage…..

Satellite Stage…..

Each level of upgrade, from rapid to slow, because the accumulation process of each is different, the higher the realm, the more Water Elements are needed.

Lin Zhen’s physical body and Water Element Avatar looked at each other across the entrance of the two realms.

The Water Element Avatar bowed to Lin Zhen: “Thank you for your grace in nurturing me.”

Lin Zhen returned the bow: “Think nothing of it, you are me.”

The Water Element Avatar stopped speaking, focusing instead on absorbing water vapor.

The avatar born is a complete new life, with its own independent thinking.

But it will not grow to the level of Lin Zhen’s body immediately, the process of growth is needed.

Once it grows to the level of Lin Zhen’s body, it can replace Lin Zhen’s body and become the Holy Land Resident of Falling Star Lake.

If Lin Zhen is willing, the Water Element Avatar can temporarily return to the body and bring Lin Zhen new Star Power.

However, Lin Zhen doesn’t plan to do that.

If his body leaves Falling Star Lake, then the Water Element Avatar cannot leave either, an empty city cannot be left here.

Seeing that the Water Element Avatar is already self-cultivating, Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, he would begin to practice Soul Guardian, replenish the soul strength that he lost, and ascend to the Heavenly Platform, hoping to cultivate his second element avatar as soon as possible.

He doesn’t know how many element avatars can be cultivated at most, but the more he cultivates, the stronger his physical strength undeniably becomes.

However, he still needs to master the true elements, which is also a difficult process.

In the God Realm, the shores of the Earth Core Lake have expanded to five million kilometers and are still expanding.

During the expansion phase, Lin Zhen temporarily can’t leave Falling Star Lake, he needs to replenish water source here.

Following the method of Soul Guardian cultivation, Lin Zhen began his first training.

*********

“More importantly, the cultivation of Soul Guardian does not require deliberate restoration of lost soul strength.

As long as normal cultivation is maintained, the lost soul strength will be replenished.”

“The improvement of the four dark matter types not only requires the enhancement of the spiritual consciousness, but also the personal will.”

“Different stages have different strength, will and soul strength, especially for those who can self-breakthrough to become a God.

Their willpower and soul strength must far exceed others.”

To temper willpower and soul strength, one must ascend the Heavenly Platform in the virtual illusion.

The Heavenly Platform, in specific star systems, ranks almost alongside the thirty-three towers of the Original World.

Corresponding to the thirty-three towers, the Heavenly Platform also has thirty-three levels, each of which greatly tempers the spirit and will.

However, this stuff is almost unknown on the surface of the Original World, but once you get to the specific star systems of the dominating world, everyone knows and has to pass.

In the dominant world, if a Soul Guardian does not practice, then their achievement is destined to be limited.

Becoming a god is not so simple.

Corresponding soul strength is necessary.

Even if your realm of strength is enough and you are full of divine power, you cannot self-advance without it, you can only rely on God Crystal.

Depending on the God Crystal, that is the worst path, Lin Zhen will not take it.

At least his physical body, will never rely on God Crystal to become a God.

At the bottom of Falling Star Lake, Lin Zhen’s physical body activated the Soul Guardian and entered the virtual world.

After entering the virtual world, the pain of Lin Zhen’s soul separation disappeared, and in front of him, a high platform rose from the ground.

Standing in front of the platform, a flight of stone steps appeared.

To climb the stone steps, a figure appeared in front of him.

The figure seemed ordinary at the same time extraordinary.

This is a virtual character.

“Welcome to the world of Soul Guardian.

The stone steps in front of you lead to the top.

Each level requires an understanding of corresponding pictures.

The understanding of the first layer’s picture proves that your soul strength has reached the point of self-breaking through to godhood.”

“Everyone sees different pictures, and everyone gains differently from understanding success.

This will bring you great benefits.

Now, begin.”

A routine introduction, devoid of emotion.

After the figure disappeared, a picture appeared before him.

A barrier obstructing the stone steps.

Until Lin Zhen comprehended it, this picture would not disappear.

Mysterious Heavenly Web Map!

A picture appeared, and in front of Lin Zhen appeared a dense matrix of light!

This matrix of light obstructed the sky, layer upon layer and consisted millions of lines.

Countless lines of light formed a spider web, and Lin Zhen appeared like a moth stuck in the net, incapable of finding an exit.
