From the top part of the brain, to the upper body, and then to the lower half of the body...

Lin Zichen carefully inspected Zhang Wanxin's body, looking to see if the great mother of his and Lin Ziying's possessed anything special that allowed her to give birth to two geniuses with sky-defying Evolutionary Talents.

After a meticulous inspection,

Lin Zichen found that Zhang Wanxin's body was very ordinary, with nothing special about it.

Ordinary Qi Blood Strength.

Ordinary Spiritual Strength.

All Attribute Values were quite ordinary.

Was she really just an ordinary person...

Lin Zichen muttered to himself, not surprised by the result of the inspection.

He and Zhang Wanxin had lived under the same roof for so long, if Zhang Wanxin were some hidden master, he would have noticed something fishy by now.

Especially during his infancy.

Because no hidden master would act in front of an infant.

There was absolutely no need for that.

Just as Lin Zichen concluded that his biological mother, Zhang Wanxin, was an ordinary person—

Suddenly, the spiritual power he left within Zhang Wanxin sensed an extremely terrifying energy entity.

This energy entity was located in the deepest part of the brain, also known as the Sea of Consciousness.

What was this?

After perceiving the vastness of the energy entity, Lin Zichen was somewhat stunned.

The Sea of Consciousness in ordinary people is almost negligible.

Yet at this moment, Zhang Wanxin's Sea of Consciousness harbored such vast energy, which he found hard to believe.

A moment later, after regaining his composure,

Lin Zichen immediately focused his spiritual power and slowly penetrated Zhang Wanxin's Sea of Consciousness to see what was actually going on inside.

The invasion process was very slow,

He was afraid that moving too quickly might damage Zhang Wanxin's Sea of Consciousness.

However, this concern turned into shock in the next second.

As his spiritual power entered Zhang Wanxin's Sea of Consciousness,

Lin Zichen saw a scene so shocking that he would never forget it for the rest of his life.

Zhang Wanxin's Sea of Consciousness was boundless, so vast that it went beyond his understanding, and instead of water, it was filled with hard and smooth ice blocks, resembling a lake covered with ice in winter.

But unlike a winter lake merely covered with a thick layer of ice on the surface, Zhang Wanxin's Sea of Consciousness was iced to the bottom, the entire Sea being thick ice blocks.

No!

Not ice blocks!

They were Source Crystals!

Mother's Sea of Consciousness was a boundless, giant Source Crystal!

Lin Zichen suddenly realized this and was so shocked he could barely cope—his mouth hung open unconsciously, his eyes widened and filled with disbelief.

How elevated must a creature be to possess such a large Source Crystal?

And isn't the Source Crystal a product of Origin Land?

How could there be Source Crystals in mother's Sea of Consciousness?

Could it be... did mom come from Origin Land?

The more Lin Zichen thought about it, the more shocked he became, struggling to come to terms with this revelation.

Seeing the shocked expression on his face, Zhang Wanxin asked in perplexity, "Son, why are you suddenly gaping and widening your eyes, what's going on?"

"It's nothing."

Lin Zichen, snapped back to reality at the sound of her voice, replied nonchalantly.

After speaking, he hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Mom, when you were young, were you a damsel in distress from a very powerful and influential family?"

Zhang Wanxin, somewhat bewildered by the question, retorted after a moment of confusion, "What nonsense are you talking about? Besides having a pretty face, I am very ordinary in all other aspects."

Lin Zichen then asked, "What did my maternal grandparents do?"

Zhang Wanxin pulled out a tissue to wipe Lin Ziying's mouth, then responded nonchalantly, "Your grandparents were just ordinary farmers, they passed away from illness when I was very young."

"I see..."

Lin Zichen sank into thought, feeling that Zhang Wanxin was still deceiving him; he just couldn't believe she was an ordinary person.

Thinking this over, he further inquired, "What about dad, what was his family situation like when he was young?"

Zhang Wanxin, puzzled, asked, "What's gotten into you today, asking all these inexplicable questions?"

As soon as she finished, she added, "Son, did you watch the movie 'The Claw Machine,' thinking your parents are trying to test you, train you, and so deliberately pretending to be poor, making you live a hard life from a young age?"

Lin Zichen smiled and said, "No, I was just asking casually."

...

After dinner,

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan took a bath, washed up together, and went to bed.

First to sleep for physical exertion, then to sleep for energy recovery.

Lin Zichen wasn't tired and didn't sleep.

He simply lay quietly, eyes opened, staring at the ceiling.

He continually recalled scenes from his childhood deep in his mind,

looking to see if he could find any clues that would prove his parents weren't ordinary people.

After recalling for a while, Lin Zichen ultimately felt disappointed.

The memories of his parents were always very ordinary, with not a single unusual aspect.

They would get sick,

Lose sleep,

Get angry,

They were just an ordinary and ordinary pair of parents.

The only unusual thing was having a son with an Evolutionary Talent strong enough to defy the heavens.

With no clues at all, could his parents really be ordinary people?

But what about that huge Source Crystal in mom's Sea of Consciousness?

Lin Zichen couldn't solve this puzzle no matter how much he pondered, the more he thought, the more confused he became, unable to distinguish whether his parents were ordinary people or hidden masters.

"Lin Zi, why did you ask Aunt Xin such strange questions during dinner?"

Shen Qinghan hadn't fallen asleep either, turned over to face Lin Zichen, her delicate face full of curiosity.

Lin Zichen didn't hide from her, quickly pouring out all the doubts in his heart, "You might not believe what I'm about to say, during dinner earlier, I was scanning my mom's body with spiritual power and I discovered her Sea of Consciousness is boundlessly vast and entirely composed of Source Crystals, like a giant iceberg."
