Lin Zichen and the Abyss

"Mom, could you describe in detail what the stone tablet in my dream looked like? I'll see if I can draw it."

Lin Zichen fetched a sheet of drawing paper and a charcoal pencil, and asked with some excitement.

He felt as if he had glimpsed a secret, a secret about why he was so powerful.

One's own strength may be inextricably linked to the Abyss of the Origin Land.

He is now eager to see everything in his dream and cannot wait to slowly explore it himself.

"Let me think about it and see how I can give you a detailed description."

After finishing her sentence, Zhang Wanxin fell into reminiscence, organizing her thoughts as she tried to describe the appearance of the stone tablet.

After about half a minute, she finally organized her thoughts and began to describe it. "The stone tablet was very square and thick. I estimate it was more than two meters long and more than one meter wide. It looked like a coffin."

"The stone tablet is gray, and the four characters on it are black. The font is somewhat like regular script, but it looks a bit messy."

"Also, there are many strange mosses growing on the edges of the stone tablet. They are golden in color and emit golden light, which looks very magical."

"By the way, the soil under the stone tablet is as hard as cement..."

"..."

Zhang Wanxin described the coffin she saw with utmost care, trying not to miss any detail.

About ten minutes later.

Lin Zichen finished drawing the sketch and placed it in front of Zhang Wanxin, asking, "Mom, is this what the stone tablet looks like?"

Zhang Wanxin glanced at it and said, "It's quite similar, but there are still some differences in the details."

At this moment, Shen Qinghan, who was standing to the side, held up the drawing paper in her hand and asked, "Aunt Xin, where is this one I drew?"

She was drawing along with Lin Zichen when he was drawing.

She has loved drawing since she was a child; it was one of her few talents when she was young, and she is very confident in her drawing skills.

Zhang Wanxin turned her head to look at her drawing paper, and her eyes lit up immediately:

"Yes, that's exactly what it looks like!"

"Hanhan, the stone tablet you drew is almost identical to the one I saw in my dream!"

"As expected, my darling Hanhan is much better at drawing!"

Zhang Wanxin praised Shen Qinghan without reservation, calling her "my Hanhan" repeatedly, treating Shen Qinghan like her own daughter.

Shen Qinghan felt embarrassed by the praise, but secretly she was very happy.

Being able to outperform Lin Zichen in certain areas made her very happy, giving her a sense of relief that she wasn't a burden.

Lin Zichen glanced at Shen Qinghan's painting and found that it was indeed better than his.

It can only be said that no matter how strong Heavenly Human Wisdom Root are, if one doesn't put in any effort, in certain areas, one still can't compare to those who are naturally gifted and work hard.

In the days that followed.

Lin Zichen spent most of the time pestering Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin, constantly asking them about everything they saw in their dreams.

After several days of hard work, with Shen Qinghan's help, he basically reproduced the environment from his parents' dream on paper.

After comparing the two dreams, Lin Zichen discovered that the environments in his parents' dreams were exactly the same.

There is a stone tablet inscribed with the words "Son of the Abyss".

There are various stone buildings that exude an ancient and weathered atmosphere.

There are also Abyssal Giant Butterfly that defy biological norms.

Considering the presence of buildings, Lin Zichen concluded that this so-called Life Forbidden Zone, the "Abyss," might be an ancient civilization lost to the passage of time.

Days passed by like this.

During this time, Lin Zichen kept observing his parents, trying to see if there was anything special about them, since their entire Consciousness Sea was made of Source Crystal.

After observing for more than ten days, nothing unusual was found.

It seemed that the entire Consciousness Sea was composed of Source Crystal, and had no obvious effect on Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin.

"That's strange. My parents have such a large Source Crystal in their Consciousness Sea. Logically, their bodies should be very strong. How come they're so ordinary?"

Lin Zichen was completely baffled and deeply confused.

Because, ever since he gained some Source Crystal in his Consciousness Sea, he could clearly feel that his body also gained an extremely rich energy.

This special energy, barring any unforeseen circumstances, is Source Power.

Because of the new Source Power in his Consciousness Sea, the Biological Rank, which had just crossed the threshold of the eighth rank of Rare, directly reached the great perfection of the eighth rank of Rare creatures, and was only one step away from the Tier 9 of Rare.

This is a very simple and straightforward enhancement.

However, it's strange that the parents, who possess Source Crystal larger than an iceberg, show no signs of physical enhancement.

Etc!

Could it be that... the Source Crystal in the parents' Consciousness Sea only have the function of nurturing?

In other words, the reason my sister and I were born with such extraordinary abilities is because of the blessing of the Source Crystal in our parents' Consciousness Sea?

No, that explanation is still a stretch; many parts don't make sense...

Lin Zichen's mind raced as he tried to find a reasonable explanation.

Unfortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't find an explanation that convinced me.

In the blink of an eye.

My time visiting family is almost over.

It's time to go back to the Origin Land.

The day before returning to their Origin Land, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan went to visit Yuan Dongzhi and Liu Chuanwu.

On the way to the Yuan Family, the most powerful family in Nanjiang.

Lin Zichen asked Shen Qinghan, who was standing next to him, "You've been sleeping in my house for so long, and you haven't even had a single dream about the Abyssal Giant Butterfly?"

During his visit home, Lin Zichen had three dreams related to the Abyssal Giant Butterfly.

Each time you do it, the Source Crystal in your Consciousness Sea increases a little.

When it was done for the third time, the Source Power in the body underwent a qualitative change, allowing the Biological Rank to successfully evolve from the Great Perfection of the Rare Eighth Rank to the Rare Tier 9.

Lin Zichen was very concerned about why Shen Qinghan, with whom he had always shared a bed, had never dreamed of the Abyssal Giant Butterfly.

"Never, not even once."

In response to Lin Zichen's question, Shen Qinghan shook her head.

After hearing this answer, Lin Zichen fell into deep thought.

Is the location of this dream unrelated?

Only you and your parents would do that?

Nobody else knows how to do it?

Yeah, and my little sister is almost three months old, she might do that too.

About an hour and a half later.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan successfully arrived at the Yuan Family, the most powerful family in Nanjiang Province.

The two had originally imagined that this large family would be housed in an extremely luxurious palace.

But upon entering, it turned out to be an antique-style house.

Everything inside looks very retro.

However, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan didn't pay attention to these things. After entering the house, they were led into a room by the butler and saw Yuan Dongzhi was unconscious.

The once commanding Yuan Dongzhi is now a pale-faced, vegetative patient, lying motionless in bed.

Meanwhile, Liu Chuanwu, who used to be a womanizer every night, was now sitting by the bedside taking good care of Yuan Dongzhi.

Lin Zichen went forward to check on Yuan Dongzhi's condition.

Unleash your Mental Power.

It slipped into her body and wandered around silkily.

Carefully inspect every corner.

After a thorough examination...

Lin Zichen discovered that Yuan Dongzhi's soul was severely damaged, with many visible cracks that looked shocking.

With injuries this severe, it's no wonder he's in a vegetative state and unconscious.

If Yuan Dongzhi weren't Rare Tier powerhouse, he would probably be brain dead by now.

"Lin Zi, how's the checkup going?"

Seeing that Lin Zichen had withdrawn his Mental Power, Shen Qinghan immediately asked impatiently.

Lin Zichen shook his head. "Principal Yuan's injury is to his soul, which touches upon a blind spot in my knowledge. I am powerless to help."

If Yuan Dongzhi only suffered severe physical injuries, Lin Zichen could treat Yuan Dongzhi by transferring qi and blood to her.

But Yuan Dongzhi's injuries were to her spirit and soul; he truly couldn't cure her.

"So..."

Shen Qinghan was somewhat disappointed.

Afterwards, Lin Zichen examined Liu Chuanwu and found that his soul was also injured, and there was no cure for it.

Seeing that there was no cure, Lin Zichen didn't force the issue. He simply inquired about the two of them with Shen Qinghan and then quickly left the Yuan Family.

The Yuan Family itself has an Epic- level expert.

How could I possibly accomplish something that even Epic- level powerhouses couldn't do?

When they were leaving, the head of the Yuan Family, a powerful Epic- level expert, invited Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan to stay for dinner.

Lin Zichen had no such intention and casually made up an excuse to decline.

We're going back to our Origin Land tomorrow.

On this last night, he and Shen Qinghan only wanted to go home and be with their parents.

After all, once you enter the Origin Land, you won't see your parents again for at least three months.

Although Lin Zichen wasn't as attached to home as Shen Qinghan, he still missed his parents after not seeing them for three months.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan got up early and made a sumptuous breakfast for their parents and younger sister.

The two of them were far better cooks than Zhang Wanxin.

The porridge, soy milk, steamed buns, and other dishes I made were so delicious that my parents and sister couldn't stop eating them.

Especially the younger sister, Lin Ziying, kept stuffing porridge into her mouth with a spoon in her right hand and stuffing steamed buns into her mouth with her left hand, looking like a beggar who hadn't eaten for days on the street.

Lin Zichen looked at the food-loving girl across from him, feeling both a sense of incongruity and a touch of cuteness.

The incongruity lies in the fact that the younger sister is only a three-month-old baby girl, yet her appetite is larger than that of an adult.

What's adorable is that my little sister looks so silly when she eats, her cheeks puffed out, just like Shin-chan from Crayon Shin-chan in Japan.

"Honey, look how much the baby is enjoying his food. It seems our son and Hanhan are definitely better cooks than me."

Zhang Wanxin looked at her daughter, who was eating non-stop, her still-charming face full of doting smiles.

Lin Ziying is her second daughter, born after she turned forty. Having a daughter late in life, she dotes on her youngest child.

While eating his steamed buns, Lin Yansheng nodded in agreement, saying, "Their cooking skills are indeed better than yours; the student has surpassed the master."

Upon hearing this answer, Zhang Wanxin's face immediately darkened.

She could say that her cooking skills were inferior to her son and future daughter-in-law, but her husband, Lin Yansheng, could never say that.

Seeing her face darken, Lin Yansheng realized he had said the wrong thing, so he immediately shut his mouth and ate his steamed bun silently.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.

When someone belittles themselves, the listener should not agree by saying "yes," but rather say, "No, that's not true."

Zhang Wanxin's dark expression didn't last long; she quickly regained her composure and said to Shen Qinghan, "Hanhan, don't your parents have any objections to you spending the night here with Xiao Chen every day?"

While drinking her porridge, Shen Qinghan replied, "My dad has some objections, but my mom doesn't. She'd love for me to sleep with Xiao Chen every day."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanxin's face immediately lit up with a smile, "Your mother is so thoughtful; her thoughts coincide perfectly with mine."

Like Xu Meng, she couldn't wait for Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan to sleep together every day so she could get pregnant and become a grandmother.

Now, apart from spending two hours a day writing, she has plenty of free time.

In response, she sincerely hopes that another baby can be born into the family so that she will have something to do.

After breakfast.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan teased Lin Ziying for a while, and then soon left home to fly to Capital City, wanting to return to their Origin Land Shine and Contribute.

On their way to Capital City, the two did not choose to take a military helicopter, but instead chose to expend their Mental Power to fly and practice their flying skills.

Not long after, the two flew from Shanhai University to the Capital City Military District headquarters.

After landing, the two skillfully verified their identities and returned to their long-lost Origin Land through the Biological Passage.

Return to the Origin Land.

Lin Zichen immediately went to the Abyss behind the city, wanting to see from the outside whether this so-called Life Forbidden Zone, the "Abyss," was really the same as the pitch-black space in his dream.

He wanted to verify it.

Unfortunately, he was stopped before he even reached the outer edge of the Abyss.

The Abyss is very dangerous; even Legendary Tier experts cannot guarantee a 100% chance of survival if they go in.

Lin Zichen is indeed a genius.

Even the most talented person is still just a Rare Tier species.

The general guarding the Abyss behind the city did not believe Lin Zichen could survive in the Abyss, so he refused to let him Abyss.

Seeing that the Abyss wouldn't let him in, Lin Zichen didn't insist.

He was just thinking that he would go to the Abyss to explore it again after his Biological Rank was raised to Legendary Tier.

In the blink of an eye.

Several days have passed.

That morning, just as dawn was breaking, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan left their dormitory early and flew towards the city gate.

The two have now reached the Rare Tier strength, allowing them to unconditionally leave the team of Exotic Human Tier geniuses and choose to act alone.

Under this premise, Lin Zichen chose to follow the city's Survey Team out of the city for a survey.

The Survey Team in the city are mainly responsible for surveying the topography of the Origin Land and expanding the scope of knowledge about the Origin Land.

To join the Survey Team, one's strength must be at least at the Rare Tier or above.

The captain among them has an Epic- Biological Rank, and is one of the stronger ones within the Epic- level.

After all, they're going to explore a new map; if they're not strong enough, they'll probably be devoured by beasts not long after entering the dangerous area.

"Everyone's here, let's leave the city!"

Seeing that the entire Survey Team had arrived, the Survey Team leader shouted in a loud voice.

As this sound rang out, the gates of the city ahead slowly opened.

As the city gates opened, Lin Zichen felt a surge of excitement.

After being in the Origin Land for so long, today I finally have the chance to explore the new map.

The evolution resources in the old map have been almost entirely collected by previous players.

To obtain good evolution resources, you need to explore new maps.
