Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Lin Zichen sized up the tall youth in front of him, towering over one meter ninety.

With disheveled hair.

Covered in muscles.

And a Green Dragon Crescent Blade slung over his shoulder, longer than a man.

He exuded a sense of unrestrained violence.

"Who are you?"

Lin Zichen inquired about the youth's identity.

The young man tilted his head back, nostrils flaring, with both hands pressing his fists against his knuckles, creating a cracking sound, and introduced himself with a face full of compelling presence:

"Me? My last name is Xia, first name Liu, which sounds just like 'shameless,' but I am never shameless!"

"A member of the Alien Human Level Genius team, with strength consistently ranking in the top three of the team!"

"Characteristic? I court death, but I never get killed!"

This self-introduction was truly distinctive, making both Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan take notice.

The young man before them seemed to be an interesting joker.

"Aren't you two going to introduce yourselves?"

Xia Liu kept his nostrils to the sky, liking to talk without looking at people, always showing off his cool, dashing, and explosive presence.

Lin Zichen spoke calmly, "Lin Zichen, from Shanhai City in Nanjiang Province. The person next to me is Shen Qinghan who grew up with me since childhood, now my fiancée."

Following that, Xia Liu's eyes bulged, and he stepped back several paces, spitting out, "Damn it, you sneaky bastard, shoving dog food in my face when I wasn't prepared!"

Lin Zichen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, feeling this youth was somewhat neurotic.

After spitting it out, Xia Liu coughed a few times, recovering his compelling demeanor, "The team is quite serious about the Survival of the Fittest in the fight for Evolution Resources."

"The two of you newbies, it will definitely be difficult to mix in just arriving."

"How about this, both of you recognize me as your big brother, and I'll look after you in the future, how about it?"

These two geniuses from Earth had explosive Evolutionary Talent, promising a bright future.

It was time to take them under his wing while they were still new and clueless, to secure his position with them in advance.

Xia Liu thought blissfully of such a perfect plan.

Unaware of his inner thoughts, Lin Zichen thought he was simply fond of showing off to juniors, and without even thinking, he rejected the proposal:

"No thanks, we both like a bit of challenge on our journey, we don't need anyone's protection for now."

"Impressive spirit."

Xia Liu, continuing with a laugh, "But don't reject it too early, you might find a time when you want to be looked after. When that time comes, you can recognize me as your big brother anytime."

Leaving those words behind, he walked away without looking back, appearing very free-spirited.

Only after his figure had completely disappeared.

Shen Qinghan turned to Lin Zichen with a frown of confusion, "Is this Alien Human Level Genius team really so severe with the Survival of the Fittest? It's supposed to be a team; wouldn't that lack unity?"

"Indeed."

Lin Zichen nodded in agreement.

Then he asked, "By the way, you mentioned earlier about hearing a voice by the creek, what exactly did it say?"

Shen Qinghan thought for a moment, her voice soft, "Something about a Water God, the revival of all things, welcoming the light."

"Water God?"

"Yes, the 'Yuan' as in source of water, Water God."

"'Yuan' as in the source?"

Lin Zichen fell deep in thought.

The word "Yuan" in water source, Origin Land, and Life Origin is the same.

So, could this Water God be the god of the Origin Land? The god of Life Origin?

...

In the forest to the right of the city.

A tall, imposing woman and a muscular young man with a crew cut, both half-naked, grappled forcefully behind one of the Sky-Scraping Giant Trees.

They were not lovers, but that didn't stop them from merging together at the moment.

Origin Land was too boring.

No phones.

No computers.

No entertainment methods from modern society.

In this world filled with primal instincts, physical pleasure was the best form of entertainment.

Especially when staying out in the wilderness for long; without some form of entertainment, one could truly go crazy.

About half an hour later, the two were done.

Liu Xinyi, the crew-cut youth, frowned slightly, "Strange, it's been so long, how come Brother Liu hasn't come here yet? Did he fall into a cesspit or what?"

"He might have been delayed by something," guessed Gao Jianying, the tall woman.

Liu Xinyi wrapped an arm around her waist, speaking irreverently, "Since Brother Liu hasn't come, shall we go again while we wait?"

"We've done it five or six times already, isn't that enough? I don't want to do it anymore," Gao Jianying shook her head in refusal.

"Just one last time."

"No more."

"Come on."

"I really don't want to."

"..."

As the two were playfully arguing.

The Brother Liu they were talking about, the disheveled Xia Liu, suddenly appeared with a Green Dragon Crescent Blade over his shoulder.

"Brother Liu."x2

Seeing Xia Liu, both of them immediately called out from behind the tree.

The two were Xia Liu's sidekicks, having been so since joining the team more than ten years ago.

"Were you two messing around again just now?"

Xia Liu smelled a whiff of boxwood and instantly showed disdain and displeasure.

He was quite repelled by the affairs between men and women, considering it a stumbling block on the Evolution Path.

If others did their thing in private, that was one thing, but doing it in front of him, trying to disrupt his cultivation, he would hardly restrain from beating the hell out of such a reckless couple.

"Come on, Brother Liu, understand us. It's so boring in this wild mountain range with no phones or computers; we need something to do to pass the time," Liu Xinyi tried to joke it off sycophantically.

Gao Jianying stayed quiet, simply combing through her disheveled long hair.

Xia Liu didn't dwell on their messing around and brought up Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan instead, saying:
