Based on the one character youso shiritori, this is a much more advanced level of play for those who has time to kill.
let us start with:
創世 「そうせい」 - genesis
 
I don't know if I'm understanding the rules right, so I'll just throw this out there and see what happens: 精神 「せいしん」 - spirit, mind.
 
I actually meant it to be like the original shiritori @Glenn , but anyway, nice try, we could have a separate Kanji shiritori game for this.
What is youso shiritori from 創世 should be something like 葉子 small leaves
葉 is reusing 世 in 世 (the whole element)。
 
then after 葉子
may be you can play with 十分「じゅうぶん」 reusing 一 in 子

Suggestion!

Suggestion to the gamemaster:

One character youso shiritori was difficult enough.
Do you now want to work us to the bones?
As if we had no other worries in the world than yousou shitiroti?

So here I have a suggestion that can save our personal lives
while playing the game.

How about the following rule:

*1. Of the two kanji syllables, leave one kanji alone.
2. The other kanji must be changed as in the 1-letter shiritori
3. The resulting 2-syllable kanji must have some usage as a compound in Japanese.

This sounds easy, but because of the compound restriction, it is several times as difficult as the original game, I think.

Daijyobu desuka, Akusu-san?

EDIT: I'm sorry; I wasn't thinking clearly. The rules I suggested are actually even more strangling than the original.
Please replace rule *1. with

1. Of the two kanji's, one kanji can be replaced by any kanji.

This way, the level of difficulty remains at an acceptable level, given the limited kanji compound vocabulary of mine!

I am open to suggestion, this is just idea in progress. I would suppose we experiment with your rules for a bit and see how the game flows. If it goes well, we carry on.

Thank you for relaxing the rules, Gamemaster!
蒼海 「そらかい」 - the blue sea; East China Sea

The first 蒼 succeeds 創 as in the 1-word game, and 海 arbitrarily replaces 世.
Please continue with the next transformation.

The young waist of the girl is an image of wonderful doings, like the delicate effects of microsurgery, hence the magical drug.
