His consciousness sank at times into icy, chilling mist, entangled by decaying whispers; at other times, he was scorched by violent earthfire, feeling agony like tearing flesh; and sometimes, a warm, resilient force pulled him back, as if bathing in the spring of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he finally struggled to open his heavy eyelids, the first thing he saw was the lead-gray sky of the wasteland, visible through cracks in the ruined shack. His whole body felt broken apart; every inch of skin burned with searing pain, especially his chest, as if a branding iron were searing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh…” he groaned in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Awake.” A cold, familiar voice sounded beside his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo turned his head with difficulty and saw Ely sitting beside him, spine straight like a lone wolf guarding its territory. Her shoulder wound had been bandaged; her face remained pale, but her gaze was still sharp as she meticulously sharpened a forged alloy dagger taken from the Black Scorpion corpse with a whetstone. Lingna lay asleep on his other side, tear tracks still on her small face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ely… Lingna…” Lin Mo’s voice was hoarse and dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ely stopped her work, picked up a broken bowl filled with clear, purified water, and gently lifted Lin Mo’s head to slowly feed him the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sweet, cool water soothed his burning throat, and Lin Mo felt a trace of strength return. He looked around: the depression was in ruins, the blackened earth riddled with fissures, the collapsed shack, the wrecked steam crossbow, and beyond, the charred potato field… the scars of war were horrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did the Black Scorpions retreat?” Lin Mo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Retreated. Temporarily.” Ely spoke tersely. “You were unconscious for two days. The earthfire eruption… the energy… saved the elf?” She looked at Lin Mo, her eyes questioning. She didn’t know the details, but she sensed the power he unleashed at the end was linked to the elf world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded, feeling the hot core within his chest’s [Seed of Life] and the stable, rotating thorn symbol deep in his consciousness. “Liyana… is temporarily safe. But the cost…” He smiled bitterly and explained how the earth vein fragment had been absorbed to stabilize the passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ely listened in silence, her cold face expressionless, only tightening her grip on the dagger. Lingna had woken up; hearing Liyana was safe, her small face lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a faint but clear mental voice suddenly echoed in Lin Mo’s mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo… you… are awake? Good… ” The thought was filled with exhaustion and concern. “Thank you… that power… warm… strong… drove off the Rot Claws…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But… the Withering Mark… has deepened…” Liyana transmitted an image: the purple stain on the ends of her silver hair had spread upward by an inch, like a parasitic worm. Faint, vine-like purple patterns now appeared on her bare wrists, exuding decay. “The Rot Claws’… power… is corroding… I need… lunar light… more… purifying energy…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cost! The forced resistance against the Rot Claws, combined with prior depletion, had intensified the withering!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s heart sank. “What should I do? The passage is stabilized—can I go to help you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No… not yet…” Liyana’s thought was weak. “The passage… is stable… but transmitting matter… carries great risk… your body… cannot withstand… spatial tearing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need… pure… lunar crystal… or… natural sacred objects… rich in vital energy… to suppress… the corrosion…” She transmitted images of lunar crystal and several strange plants radiating intense green light. “These… exist only in the deep forest… ‘Moonshadow Lake’… or ‘Jade Forest’… but there… the mist… has completely consumed them…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lead had emerged—but hope was slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… will find a way…” Lin Mo solemnly promised. He looked at the few resilient [Starlight Moss] and core potato sprouts in his domain, their faint natural aura perhaps offering a little help? He tried guiding that aura through the passage to feed back to Liyana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liyana received the faint warmth; her thought carried a trace of comfort: “Thank you… the gift… of life…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The link ended. Lin Mo’s mood grew heavier. Liyana’s plight remained unresolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wrench limped over, holding a half-burned tablet recovered from the Viper’s command platform wreckage. “Boss Lin Mo! You’re awake! Look what Wrench the Great found!” He excitedly powered on the tablet. The screen displayed a fragmented electronic map with a prominent red dot labeled: “Anomalous Energy Source—High Purity (Likely Earth Vein Core)—Coordinates Locked: X-7 Depression.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the position of the Hope Outpost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And this!” Wrench pulled up an audio recording: fragmented transmissions from Viper before he passed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Target outpost… confirmed… stable spatial node… linked to unknown high-energy world (Codename: Garden)… possesses life-purification technology… holds high-purity earth vein energy…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Request… Doctor… support… deploy ‘Scavengers’… must… capture…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audio ended there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“‘Scavengers’?” Lin Mo frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Black Scorpions’ Wangpai !” Wrench’s beady eyes filled with terror. “A… massive… mobile fortress! Equipped with heavy energy cannons and force shields! Designed to crush rebel outposts! The Doctor’s ultimate weapon! Viper called for ‘Scavengers’! We’re done for!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A greater crisis loomed like dark clouds overhead. The Black Scorpion Doctor, seeking the spatial node and earth vein energy, had deployed his ultimate force. And Liyana’s needed lunar crystal and natural sacred objects still lay buried in forests swallowed by mist…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo struggled to sit up, looking at his wounded companions and the devastated domain, feeling the hot earth vein core in his chest and the stable thorn passage in his consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No retreat possible! Only death or battle! And he must find a way to save Liyana!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wrench,” Lin Mo’s voice carried finality, “use every resource to build traps! Hold out as long as you can!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ely, we need reconnaissance—find the Scavengers’ weakness!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lingna, care for the [Starlight Moss] and the fields—they’re our hope!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed toward the elf world, his resolve firm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liyana, hold on! I will find what you need—at any cost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Withering Mark spreads. The Black Scorpion’s behemoth draws near. The Lord of the Wasteland rises from the ruins, his gaze fixed on the mist-shrouded otherworldly forest. A battle for survival and salvation across dimensions has begun.\u003C\u002Fp>",1033,"2026-06-21T00:09:53.357Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","23859a8762966d9a2f38850719431444fac92a6b11b08778d966b598d34b0ca5","lord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-chapter-37","lord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-chapter-35",247,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-cover.jpg"]
