Chapter 2834 - 573_2

In an instant, at the rim of the bowl, a tiny droplet of water appeared.

"Senior Sister, look, the water in the bowl is starting to decrease. Where did this water go? It’s actually being evaporated."

He spoke, paused slightly, and then continued, "The water of this Human World doesn’t disappear because all the water of the entire world is in circulation. This circulation is a Reincarnation.

And the starting point of all Reincarnation should be evaporation. I’m using Flame, but in fact you don’t have to use Flame at all. As long as the water reaches a certain temperature, it will evaporate.

Even if no one interferes, we have the sun above our heads."

Cao Zhen said this, raised his hand and pointed at the blazing sun high in the sky, then went on, "When the rays of this blazing sun shine upon the water on our land—such as the ocean before our eyes, and those lakes and rivers—

those waters will naturally receive the sun’s energy. With this light energy, they begin to change, shifting from their flowing form into a gaseous state, thus becoming water vapor.

Besides that, like the Frost you mentioned earlier, it also changes because of temperature shifts, because other energies descend, turning from solid ice and snow into an invisible, intangible gaseous state, and then forming water vapor.

Then, when this water vapor rises into the Void—

Senior Sister, you should know that the higher you go, the colder it gets. When this water vapor encounters cold air, it begins to condense into tiny water droplets or Ice Crystals, then becomes clouds.

When the water droplets or Ice Crystals within these clouds continue to grow and accumulate to a sufficiently large degree, the cloud can no longer bear that power.

They naturally fall from the cloud, and then the sky will pour down rain, or snow, or hail.

In this way, the water of our side of the world forms a cycle, a Reincarnation.

And it’s not just a single Reincarnation. The water travels a full circuit and returns to its original starting point, and in the process it has undergone several changes of form, yet ultimately returns to what it was at the beginning."

Immortal Lord Wu Xin listened to Cao Zhen’s words, a contemplative look appearing on Her face. She had never thought about such questions.

And Cao Zhen’s voice came again.

"These are merely the ways the water on the surface of our world returns to our side of the world, but underground, there are still flowing waters."

Cao Zhen pointed to His own feet and said, "After rainfall descends, aside from the portion that enters rivers and lakes and seas, another portion of precipitation is absorbed by vegetation and evaporated, and another portion seeps into the soil, becoming groundwater.

Those waters that seep underground flow through the gaps in soil and rock, and after a period of time may reappear on the surface as springs, lakes, and rivers.

Then it may evaporate again and reenter the atmosphere.

This cycle of water, this Reincarnation of water, can sustain the existence of water, and even sustain all life in our side of the world.

But, Senior Sister, do you think that the Reincarnation I just spoke of is a Reincarnation of the Void, or a Reincarnation of the Time Cycle?"

Immortal Lord Wu Xin thought for a moment, then whispered, "These waters fly from the ground to the sky, then fall from the sky back to the ground. Naturally, that is a Reincarnation of the Void. But this process requires time, so it also belongs to the Reincarnation of the Time Cycle. Therefore, it is the Reincarnation of both Time Cycle and Void."

Cao Zhen sighed and said, "There is also the Reincarnation of the Time Cycle here. Although I understand the Reincarnation of the Time Cycle, I always feel that I’ve never truly explored the boundary of the Time Cycle’s Reincarnation. I..."

As Cao Zhen was speaking, His expression suddenly changed.

The seawater before Him, in that instant, became abnormally violent. The surging waves roared up like a charging Beast. Towering waves rose to pierce the clouds, then shattered apart, spraying colossal pillars of water as if trying to reach the heavens.

The giant wave loomed like a mountain range, its might terrifying, surging relentlessly toward the shore.

"Careful!"

Behind Immortal Lord Wu Xin, four Immortal Palaces abruptly manifested. She grabbed Cao Zhen in one swift motion and retreated rapidly backward.

She was a peerless Heavenly Pride, and in these past years She had condensed two more illusory Immortal Palaces.

The very next moment after the two retreated, the giant wave crashed down.

The Great Stones along the shore were smashed by this terrifying wave, emitting a deafening impact. The waves, carrying the power of destruction, slammed against the Great Stones at the shore like steel colliding, each resounding boom echoing through Heaven and earth.

The giant waves rolled and rose without end, as if to devour everything. Shattered rock fragments flew in all directions, and the entire shoreline was torn into a mangled ruin.

Behind the giant wave, an incomparably terrifying aura swept in.

A pitch-black monstrosity appeared within Cao Zhen and Immortal Lord Wu Xin’s line of sight.

Its massive form was like a nightmare in the dark of night—horrific and grim—seemingly condensed from black smoke. Layer upon layer of black mist coiled around it, forming a dense barrier of darkness. From within that black fog surged waves of evil intent, thick to the extreme.

Its eyes flickered with a blood-red glow, filled with ferocity and cruelty. Its skin was black as the abyss, exuding an aura of annihilation that made one’s heart tremble.

"Alien Race!"

Immortal Lord Wu Xin’s eyes widened abruptly. She had never before seen such a Race; this must be One Clan!

This was one of those Alien Race that had entered their side of the world from the ruins of the Origin World back then!
