Australia, Saint Kai Altar.
Lu Mei softly explained that half a year ago, rainfall across Oceania had gradually increased. At first, no one paid much attention, and people even welcomed it, since Australia's climate was arid and water resources were extremely precious, with most of the land being desert.
However, as time passed, not only did the rain fail to stop, it instead grew heavier and heavier, resembling torrential storms. In recent days, continuous downpours had persisted, and major cities across the region had suffered rare flood disasters.
Lu Jun frowned deeply and murmured, "Heavy rain? Influenced by ocean currents? The Sea Monster Empire?!"
"Not sure," Lu Mei shook her head. "The Super Tier mages in the city also thought it was sea monsters. They even personally led Super Tier teams to investigate, but there were no abnormalities among the sea monsters."
Hearing this, Lu Jun found it strange. He suddenly realized something and immediately used his Eighth Realm mental cultivation to communicate with heaven and earth.
Buzz—buzz—buzz!
The void still shimmered with multicolored brilliance, as vast elements gathered. However, affected by half a year of moisture, the azure hue of the Water Element occupied a significant portion, becoming especially prominent.
Very quickly, Lu Jun sensed a familiar aura from this azure glow. The moment his will was released, Water Elements from all directions poured in endlessly, like fledgling swallows returning to their nest, lively and eager.
A cool sensation burst open at the crown of his head. The void above split open, as if the sky itself had shattered into a hole. A mighty azure waterfall poured down, dense Water Elements washing over him.
Rumble—rumble—rumble!
A thunderous roar like raging floods echoed within his body. In his abdomen, a cold, mysterious dark sun slowly rose, within which dozens of droplets, each as heavy as a great marsh of Nine Nether Heavy Water could be vaguely seen floating.
At this moment, the Transcendent Force · Northern Abyss Qi Sea that Lu Jun had cultivated rapidly expanded. Endless water vapor condensed into crystalline droplets—thirty-seventh drop… thirty-eighth drop…
Inside the villa, the surging azure mist that suddenly erupted from Lu Jun's body instantly flooded the entire building, dampening and corroding the walls, with signs of spreading outward.
Fortunately, Lu Mei reacted swiftly. With a single thought, a vast cyan whirlwind surged forth from nothingness, forcibly dispersing the mist and preventing any disturbance from leaking out.
Bang!
Lu Jun decisively cut off the connection. His towering Soul Lattice returned to his body, and the Water Elements in the void ceased their infusion.
"How are you?" his sister asked worriedly. "Why did it trigger an elemental riot?"
Lu Jun's expression darkened. He never expected that Oceania's half-year of abundant rainfall had actually originated from himself?!
The Water-type Calamity Talent [Summon Wind and Rain], under his focused cultivation, had already imperceptibly influenced an entire nation's region. Worse still, due to lack of control, it showed signs of spiraling out of control.
Thankfully, he possessed the Water-Avoiding Pearl and the River-Suppressing Pearl, barely restraining his own phenomena.
"As expected, Super Tier cultivation paired with a Calamity Talent is extraordinary. Even Wu Ku would probably struggle to control it. I can't stay in one place for too long."
Lu Jun involuntarily recalled the original novel's depiction. In the original timeline, Wu Ku once traveled to the Divine City, causing rain to suddenly fall in an extremely arid region. (Original novel, Chapter 1972)
He grew wary. From a small glimpse of the whole, once his Life and Death Elements also broke into Super Tier, their influence would likely spread outward as well, with tremendous impact.
"It seems I must head to the Void Altar as soon as possible, advance my Metal Element, and leave quickly, so as not to harm innocent civilians."
Lu Jun sighed and reassured his sister.
Unexpectedly, in the outside sky, after he absorbed a massive wave of Water Elements, the azure glow visibly diminished. The torrential rain that had lasted for several consecutive days actually stopped for half a day, and the sky cleared brightly.
Just as Lu Jun was preparing to set off for his breakthrough, changes occurred thousands of kilometers away in the Huaxia region.
Since the battle of the Parthenon, after roughly nine months, Mo Fan had finally alleviated the drawbacks of demonization. Ultimately, with the assistance of the Condensed Evil Spider, his foundation had not been damaged. During this long period, he had focused mainly on improving his cultivation.
Now, his Lightning and Fire Elements had each advanced by one level, both reaching the standard of High Tier Level Three, making it possible to consider the Super Tier realm.
Originally, according to the original timeline, Mo Fan's Little Flame Belle would perish, requiring him to travel to the northwestern Taklamakan Desert to seek an extreme Fire Element land to assist Flame Belle's nirvana rebirth.
However, Lu Jun's sudden rise prevented him from falling into the Dark Plane. Naturally, Flame Belle did not need to sacrifice herself, and since Little Flame Belle was unharmed, there was no reason to go to the Taklamakan Desert.
As a result, Mo Fan missed out on the opportunity for the second Fire Element Soul Seed and the Earth Heart.
To be fair, Lu Mei arrived there ahead of time this time around. Even if Mo Fan had gone, he would have gained nothing. Moreover, even if he obtained the Earth Heart, he would have handed it over to the Forbidden Curse Association anyway—no benefits at all, just unpaid labor.
Now, Mo Fan neither had to be schemed against by Lu Jia Yu'ang, nor did he need to exhaust himself over Flame Belle's resurrection. Focusing entirely on cultivation, his progress was instead even faster.
After fully recovering, Mo Fan descended Mount Hua and began contemplating how to break through to Super Tier. Unfortunately, due to losing contact with Tang Yue and lacking Totem-related information, he could not pursue that path to seek an opportunity, and immediately fell into a bottleneck.
"Sigh… the other four elements haven't even reached High-Tier Completion yet. I'll cultivate while searching for opportunities," Mo Fan muttered to himself.
"Hmm, I'll start by looking for clues from the Little Loach. Hopefully, just like at the Intermediate and High Tier stages, I can obtain something similar to the Earth Sacred Spring to push my cultivation past Super Tier."
Clearly, with the Azure Dragon Pendant, no matter how much Mo Fan deviated, he was destined to walk the path of searching for Totems, only the journey would be far more tortuous.
"Damn it, how the hell did Lu Jun take off so fast? In just one year after the National Government Competition, he tanked a Great Monarch and even swept through a nation's Super Tier Supreme Experts!"
He suddenly cursed aloud, clutching his head in frustration. He truly had no direction at all, like a headless fly.
"Forget it. I'll go see Xuexue first. I heard she wants to establish a force?"
Lu Jun's constantly expanding influence finally triggered a massive butterfly effect, throwing future events into complete chaos.
Most of the changes were positive—for example, the turmoil of the Serpent-Scorpion Tribe in Africa, the Black Vatican's retreat into hiding in Peru, and Ye Xinxia of the Parthenon. Many hidden dangers were eliminated.
However, a small portion of events took a turn for the worse.
Such as at this very moment, in the wilderness outside Hangzhou.
A woman with a graceful and seductive figure was fleeing. She wore a Jiangnan-style headscarf, her jet-black hair cascading like a waterfall over her fragrant shoulders, brushing against her curving, upturned hips.
At first glance, she looked like an ordinary human beauty. But if one looked behind her, seeing a pair of massive moth wings flapping, and the strange green patterns spreading across her stunning face, one would be horrified.
This was no human, it was clearly a Moth Person!
Yu Shishi was fleeing desperately, darting through the gaps between forest trees. She did not dare stop, fully aware of how powerful the pursuers behind her were.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, clusters of golden flames ignited out of thin air, instantly transforming into a vast sea of fire that engulfed the forest, trapping Yu Shishi in place.
Within the blazing forest, a middle-aged male mage stepped forward. He wore a fire-gold robe of the Magic Association, and beside him followed a lifeless-looking man with canine-like facial features.
At the front, Zeng Guanglie spoke calmly.
"Stop resisting meaninglessly. Tell us where the Totem is, and we'll spare your life."
