One of the most fascinating and technically demanding parts of the theory of two-dimensional integrable systems constitute the models with the spectral parameter on an elliptic curve, including Landau-Lifshitz and Krichever-Novikov equations, as well as elliptic Toda and Ruijsenaars-Toda lattices, elliptic Volterra lattice and Shabat-Yamilov lattice. We explain how all these models can be unified on the basis of a single equation Q4 on a quad-graph. This discrete model plays the role of the ``master equation'' in the (sl(2) part of) 2D integrability: most of other models in this area can be obtained from this one by certain limiting procedures. More precisely, discrete versions of all of the above mentioned models appear from Q4 imposed on a multi-dimensional cubic lattice. Zero curvature representations for all models appear as a byproduct of the general construction.
