Zhang Wanxin's Explanation: Son of the Abyss!

Lin Zichen looked up at the Abyssal Giant Butterfly.

It is five meters long.

It is ten meters wide.

Its body surface was covered with a scarlet, cold, eerie glow.

The mouthparts are lined with large, sharp fangs.

The life force within his body was so weak that it was almost imperceptible, and he could not sense any biological pressure either, making him seem like a walking corpse.

However, its extremely fast flight speed also proves that it possesses immense vitality and a very high Biological Rank.

This life form is very peculiar and quite different from what we know about living organisms.

So... this is the Abyss within the Origin Land?

The Abyss, known as Life Forbidden Zone?

As Lin Zichen gazed silently at the Abyssal Giant Butterfly in the sky, he channeled his Mental Power into Abyssal Giant Butterfly body to perceive its life structure, pondering these thoughts in his mind.

As he gazed at the Abyssal Giant Butterfly, the Abyssal Giant Butterfly also slowed its flight, hovering slowly high in the sky and gazing at him.

After gazing for a moment, the two antennae on the top of the Abyssal Giant Butterfly emitted specks of light the size of grains of sand, which floated in the pitch-black void, adorning it like a cosmic star map, which was very spectacular and beautiful.

Seeing the Abyssal Giant Butterfly suddenly emit a large number of unknown light spots, Lin Zichen immediately tensed up, worried that this was the Abyssal Giant Butterfly's attack method.

Just when his nerves were stretched to the limit—

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

A series of ear-piercing whistling sounds echoed from afar.

The next second, dozens or even hundreds of Abyssal Giant Butterfly rushed out of the darkness one after another, all flying to the top of Lin Zichen's head and slowly circling.

Each Abyssal Giant Butterfly has glowing veins covering its body, radiating starlight.

Dozens or even hundreds of glowing Abyssal Giant Butterfly gathered together, forming a dazzling light that could illuminate an entire street.

However, even such a dazzling light could not illuminate the surrounding darkness.

The surrounding environment was still pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Apart from the glowing Abyssal Giant Butterfly, there were no other reference points to be seen.

While keeping a wary eye on the Abyssal Giant Butterfly hovering overhead, Lin Zichen frowned slightly as he surveyed the still pitch-black surroundings.

He suddenly felt that this pitch-black environment was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Upon careful reflection, I realized that this pitch-black environment was very similar to the Void in the system; in fact, they were practically identical.

It's that Void where the system message appears.

Is there any relationship between these two?

Could it be that... the Void of the system is the Abyss of the Origin Land?

It's the Origin Land again.

It is also related to the Origin Land.

My parents' Consciousness Sea is filled with Source Crystal, and the system's Void is exactly the same as the Abyss in the Origin Land. What's going on?

Lin Zichen was completely baffled.

"Hiccups..."

"Hiccups..."

"Hiccups..."

Suddenly, the sound of rain gradually increasing in intensity could be faintly heard.

The light spots emitted by the Abyssal Giant Butterfly poured down from the sky like raindrops, shimmering brightly in the pitch-black ground below before quickly vanishing into nothingness.

Lin Zichen, who was below, was struck by countless falling light beams.

Unlike when it struck the darkness below, these points of light did not vanish into nothingness the moment they hit Lin Zichen.

Instead, it transformed into an extremely dense energy that instantly surged into his body, entering the deepest part of his brain's Consciousness Sea and condensing into a crystal-clear substance.

In the blink of an eye, the Consciousness Sea, which was originally full of water, was suddenly filled with crystals that looked like ice.

Lin Zichen looked closely and was shocked to discover that all the crystals in his Consciousness Sea were actually Source Crystal.

What's going on?

Are those Abyssal Giant Butterfly overhead channeling Source Power into me?

Lin Zichen was stunned, finding it hard to believe what was happening.

Just as he was trying to sort out his thoughts--

"Snap!"

"Snap!"

"Snap!"

Suddenly, the view before me was filled with cracks, like glass on the verge of shattering.

Before he could even react, his vision shattered into a pile of fragments.

His face was clearly reflected on each fragment.

Immediately afterwards, everything went black, and I lost consciousness instantly.

"Hiccups..."

"Hiccups..."

"Hiccups..."

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Zichen heard the clear sound of rain.

He was awakened by the sound of rain, and groggily opened his eyes to find himself in the room, with Shen Qinghan lying soundly asleep beside him, and a light rain falling outside the window.

Was I just dreaming...?

Lin Zichen sat up in bed, feeling a heavy head, as if he were drunk.

He rubbed his temples, trying to recall the dream he had just had, and everything in the dream felt so real.

Um?

Source Crystal?

Source Crystal in my Consciousness Sea?!

Suddenly, Lin Zichen's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

He discovered the Source Crystal within his own Consciousness Sea.

They are the same size.

The quantities are the same.

The positions are the same.

Exactly the same as in my dream!

Was I not dreaming, but rather entering some other dimension?

Was it done by my parents?

Lin Zichen suddenly realized this: Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin also Source Crystal in their Consciousness Sea, so perhaps the dream they just had was related to the two of them.

Thinking it over, Lin Zichen immediately spread his Mental Power into his parents' room, and what he saw next was completely different from what he had imagined.

Both parents were fast asleep, showing no signs of movement.

The only one that was moving was her younger sister, Lin Ziying.

This little guy wasn't sleeping in the middle of the night. He was sucking his thumb and kicking his two chubby little legs around, quite restless.

Only Zhang Wanxin and Lin Yansheng were sound asleep; otherwise, they would definitely have been woken up.

Lin Zichen fell into deep thought upon witnessing this scene in his spiritual perception.

My parents seem like ordinary people; they don't seem like they could be reclusive masters.

Perhaps the reason why the parents' entire Consciousness Sea is filled with Source Crystal is because they often dream of Abyssal Giant Butterfly.

Hmm, I'll ask my parents first thing tomorrow morning if they've had any related dreams.

After thinking about these things for a while, Lin Zichen was wide awake.

He got out of bed, walked to the window, opened it, and sat cross-legged beside it, enjoying the cool, rainy breeze that soothed his Aperture.

Now, thanks to the nourishment from several Rare Tier evolutionary resources, he has opened more than a hundred Aperture in his body.

They are: 68 Heart Aperture, 55 Brain Aperture, and 59 Body Aperture.

In total, the exact number is 182.

We are very close to opening all 366 Aperture in the body.

Having only opened half of its Aperture, its strength Biological Rank is only at the Rare eighth rank.

Even if everything is fully unlocked, the highest Biological Rank will be Legendary Tier 1.

If the upper limit is only Legendary Tier 1, then this Pure-Blood Human Path feels a bit useless.

They are completely unworthy of the hope for humanity's future that Liu Chuanwu spoke of.

Therefore, after all the Aperture are opened, there should be other paths for further evolution.

About an hour and a half passed.

The dark sky outside the window gradually brightened.

Having spent several months in the Origin Land, Shen Qinghan developed a good habit of waking up early.

As soon as a ray of sunlight shone in through the window, she opened her eyes and woke up on time, full of energy.

When did you wake up?

Shen Qinghan lifted her long, slender legs and placed them on Lin Zichen's body, asking with a soft, sweet laugh.

Lin Zichen told the truth, "I woke up around four o'clock."

Shen Qinghan asked in surprise, "Why so early?"

Lin Zichen: "I woke up from a nightmare."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghan immediately became interested. "You actually woke up from a nightmare? What kind of dream did you have? Tell me quickly."

Lin Zichen quickly organized his thoughts and summarized the contents of his dream, then briefly told Shen Qinghan about it.

Shen Qinghan looked incredulous after hearing this. "You said you dreamed of the Abyss, and even encountered a group of Abyssal Giant Butterfly that supplied you with Source Power?"

Lin Zichen: "The Source Power is real. I currently have quite a few Source Crystal in my Consciousness Sea, all of which were condensed in my dreams."

"As for the Abyss and the Abyssal Giant Butterfly... these are currently just my speculations."

"I'm not sure if the place in my dream was actually the Abyss, nor am I sure if those giant scarlet butterflies were the Abyssal Giant Butterfly."

After saying that, he added, "I suspect that the reason why my parents' Consciousness Sea is a single piece of Source Crystal might be related to that dream."

Shen Qinghan raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "You mean... they also often have the same dream you had last night, which is why their Consciousness Sea is a single piece of Source Crystal?"

Lin Zichen: "That's my guess, but we'll have to ask Mom and Dad when they wake up to find out for sure."

Shen Qinghan pursed her lips and said, "If Uncle Sheng and Aunt Xin are both reclusive masters, then they definitely won't tell the truth."

Lin Zichen laughed and said, "I actually hope they are all reclusive masters. That way, I won't have to worry about their safety anymore, and maybe I can even rely on them to carry me around."

Shen Qinghan laughed when she heard him say that.

That makes a lot of sense.

Uncle Sheng and Aunt Xin are both reclusive masters, then as their future daughter-in-law, I can also live off their parents in the future.

There's no need to put in any effort at all.

He happily became a second-generation rich kid despite being a good-for-nothing.

How wonderful.

Thinking about it, Shen Qinghan suddenly felt aroused. She stretched her fair little feet toward Lin Zichen, teasing him while saying in a soft voice, "Daddy, it's not breakfast time yet. How about we strengthen our father-daughter bond?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zichen couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Shen Wuhan, do you have to be so filthy?"

Shen Qinghan deliberately said in a coquettish voice, "Don't boys all like girls to be dirty in bed?"

Lin Zichen agreed, "That's true."

Shen Qinghan pushed Lin Zichen down and straddled him, saying, "Alright, enough talk. Let's get this over with quickly before Aunt Xin gets up to make breakfast."

Lin Zichen had no objection and agreed to a quick victory, but unfortunately his strong physique simply wouldn't allow it.

More than an hour later.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan emerged from the room, completely satisfied.

At this moment, Zhang Wanxin had already prepared breakfast in the kitchen and was bringing the cooked Spirit Fish porridge out to the living room.

The tiny Lin Ziying followed Zhang Wanxin closely, her big, watery eyes fixed on the pot of porridge, her little mouth drooling uncontrollably, looking incredibly tempting.

"Mom, let me serve it to you."

Lin Zichen quickly stepped forward and said.

Zhang Wanxin said irritably, "I've almost put it on the table, you don't need to bring it. If you really care about your mother, get up early tomorrow to make breakfast and let her sleep in."

"No problem, I'll make breakfast tomorrow," Lin Zichen agreed without hesitation.

Like Shen Qinghan, Zhang Wanxin was the woman he loved most in this world.

I'd be willing to make breakfast every day, not just tomorrow.

After all, she's her own mother, the one she grew up on.

"Make way, make way, don't block the way, go to your room and call your dad to get up and have some porridge."

Zhang Wanxin urged.

Seeing her mother stop moving, Lin Ziying frowned and reached into the clay pot, slurping away the crumbs.

This is her urging her mother to hurry up and bring the clay pot to the table; she wants to drink porridge.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen thought his younger sister was incredibly cute.

So, while making way, I casually pulled my little sister into my arms and hugged her, laughing as I poked her chubby little face with my finger.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"

Lin Ziying struggled and cried out a few times in dissatisfaction. When she saw that Lin Zichen refused to put her down, her little face fell and she opened her mouth as if to roar like an evil dragon and burst into tears.

Seeing that his younger sister was about to cry, Lin Zichen immediately had another thought and took out a Spirit Fruit from his Storage Space and put it to her lips.

Upon seeing the Spirit Fruit, Lin Ziying immediately calmed down, quietly grabbed the Spirit Fruit, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Lin Zichen poked his little sister's cheek and smiled affectionately, "You're such a little foodie."

After saying that, she picked up her younger sister and walked towards the room to wake up her father, Lin Yansheng.

Since it wasn't convenient for Shen Qinghan to go over, she stayed in the living room to help Zhang Wanxin get the bowls and chopsticks.

"Hanhan, how far have things progressed between you and Xiao Chen?"

Taking advantage of the fact that it was just the two of them, Zhang Wanxin quietly asked Shen Qinghan this question.

Shen Qinghan felt embarrassed, but still obediently told the truth, "We've basically done everything a husband and wife can do."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanxin's face lit up with a smile, and she clicked her tongue with satisfaction, saying, "It seems Xiao Chen is quite capable after all, he hasn't disappointed his mother."

Shen Qinghan was so embarrassed by these words that she kept her head down and ate the porridge without saying a word.

Not long after.

Including Shen Qinghan, the family of five sat together in the living room to eat breakfast.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Zichen asked his parents if they had any strange dreams, such as dreaming that they were in complete darkness and saw giant butterflies that scattered points of light.

As expected, both parents looked surprised and replied that they had done it before, and often at that.

"Son, how did you know all this? I don't recall your dad and I ever telling you that we have strange dreams, did we?"

Zhang Wanxin asked with a puzzled look.

Lin Zichen said, "Because I've had this dream too."

The parents looked incredulous upon hearing this, never expecting that their son would have such a strange dream.

After calming herself down a bit, Zhang Wanxin asked curiously, "What was the environment like in your dream? Were you in a pitch-black space where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face?"

"Right."

Lin Zichen nodded.

Zhang Wanxin nodded and said in a deep voice, "You mean you've only had this dream for a short time? After you have this dream a few more times, you'll find that your field of vision expands and you can see many things more clearly."

"Can you see a lot of things clearly?"

Lin Zichen's curiosity was immediately piqued.

Zhang Wanxin explained, "Yes, the more often you have this dream, the clearer the darkness you were in will become."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will soon see a stone tablet in that dream."

"Inscribed on the stone tablet are four large characters: Son of the Abyss."

Son of the Abyss?

Upon hearing these four words, Lin Zichen's heart stirred slightly.

He wasn't sure at first whether the pitch-black space in his dream was the Abyss in the Origin Land.

Now that Zhang Wanxin has said this, he is 100% certain that the pitch-black space in his dream is the Life Forbidden Zone in the Origin Land — the Abyss.
