"Ah?"

Shen Qinghan was a bit confused and asked, "Aren't Source Crystals unique to the Origin Land? How come Aunt Xin's Sea of Consciousness is full of Source Crystals?"

Lin Zichen shook his head, "I can't make sense of it either, that's why I went out of my way to ask my mom those strange questions during dinner, to see if she was a Hidden Expert."

Shen Qinghan still couldn't digest this fact.

Aunt Xin's Sea of Consciousness is vast and boundless, and it's composed entirely of Source Crystals?

What's the situation?

Just who exactly is Aunt Xin?

As she pondered, Shen Qinghan quickly thought of Lin Zichen's Evolutionary Talent.

I knew it, how can Lin Zi's Evolutionary Talent be so exaggerated, it turns out to be inherited.

Aunt Xin is definitely not ordinary.

Wait a minute.

What about me?

Lin Zi's genius can be traced, but what about me?

Why is my physique so special?

Could it be that my parents are also not ordinary?

With this thought, Shen Qinghan immediately spoke up and asked Lin Zichen, "Lin Zi, do you think my parents could also be in the same situation, with Seas of Consciousness that are vast and boundless, composed entirely of Source Crystals?"

"Very likely."

Lin Zichen gave such an answer and then continued, "When you go home tonight, you can try to spread your spiritual power to check your parents' Seas of Consciousness. After my dad comes back in a couple of days, I'll also spread my spiritual power to sense what his Sea of Consciousness is like."

Shen Qinghan suddenly thought of a problem, "If Aunt Xin's entire Sea of Consciousness is made up of Source Crystals, it definitely means she's very powerful."

"Logically speaking, when you spread your spiritual power to immerse into Aunt Xin's body, she should have been able to detect it immediately and then stop it with a mere thought."

"So why didn't Aunt Xin stop your spiritual power from invading just now?"

"..."

This question of Shen Qinghan's hit the nail on the head and temporarily stumped Lin Zichen.

Indeed, if Mom is a Hidden Expert, then with the size of her Sea of Consciousness, she should be able to easily stop my spiritual power from invading.

But from beginning to end, Mom didn't make any move.

What's going on?

Certainly, Mom can't be an ordinary person given that an ordinary person's Sea of Consciousness couldn't possibly be that large, nor entirely composed of Source Crystals.

There must be some unknown secret behind this.

...

That evening.

Shen Qinghan went home to accompany Shen Jianye and Xu Meng.

Not long after she got back, she sent a message to Lin Zichen on WeChat, saying that she just used her spiritual power to check her parents' Seas of Consciousness.

The results were astonishing; both Shen Jianye and Xu Meng had Seas of Consciousness that were vast and boundless, also made up of Source Crystals.

...

Two nights later, Lin Yansheng, who had gone to the Capital City to attend the Writers' Annual Meeting, returned.

Seeing his father, who he hadn't seen in a while, the first thing Lin Zichen did was to spread his spiritual power to invade his father's body, carefully inspecting every corner.

In the end, the results were as expected; Lin Yansheng's Sea of Consciousness was also as vast and boundless as the other three, composed entirely of Source Crystals.

With this, it seemed that the parents on both sides were not simple.

Realizing this, Lin Zichen spent the following days deliberately observing the four of them, hoping to find some clues to prove their parents' identities as Hidden Experts.

Unfortunately, after observing for several days, the parents from both sides seemed very ordinary, showing no signs of having Seas of Consciousness made up of Source Crystals.

Seeing that observing got them nowhere, eventually, he chose to confront both sets of parents, revealing their Seas of Consciousness' situation and asking them to explain what exactly was going on?

Facing his sudden confrontation, both sets of parents were completely bewildered, indicating they didn't understand what he was asking.

They genuinely seemed to not understand, without a hint of feigning ignorance.

This scene left both Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan somewhat confused.

In their expectations, when confronted with the mention of their Seas of Consciousness, their parents should have shown disbelief, not expecting their secrets to be discovered, and then chosen to be truthful.

But the reality was, the parents looked more confused than each other, not understanding what Seas of Consciousness were, much less what Source Crystals were.

...

Days passed by.

Before one knew it, it was the seventh day since Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan returned to Earth.

That morning, they heard some unfortunate news.

When the #1 City was attacked by the Sun-Moon Sacred Land and Land of Oblivion, other cities within the Origin Land were also attacked, including the #36 City located beneath Shanhai City.

When #36 City was attacked, most of Shanhai City's powerhouses were sent to aid.

Yuan Dongzhi went.

Liu Chuanwu went.

Song Yuyan went.

Ma Zhenhe went.

Practically everyone with a Biological Level ranking as High went into the Origin Land, to #36 City to withstand the attack from the Sun-Moon Sacred Land and Land of Oblivion.

During this time, the relatively weak #36 City was almost taken over, with many casualties.

Zhou Xuehong, the former president of Shanhai University's student council, died.

Ma Zhenhe, the current dean of Evolution College at Shanhai University, died.

Yuan Dongzhi was seriously injured and has been unconscious, bedridden and recuperating in his family's home.

Liu Chuanwu was also severely wounded. His already frail soul was significantly harmed, and he spent half his days waking up with splitting headaches, living in a state worse than death, also recuperating in Yuan Dongzhi's family home.

```

Song Yuyan was rather lucky. She only suffered minor injuries in the Origin Land and was not seriously harmed.

...

In the bathroom.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan bathed together in the bathtub, both nude.

While soaking, Shen Qinghan suggested, "Since Master and the Dean are so badly injured, why don't we go visit them tomorrow?"

Lin Zichen had no objections. He thought it was a good suggestion and nodded, "Then tomorrow morning, we'll visit Principal Yuan and the Dean."

Shen Qinghan pushed her wet bangs aside and said in a soft voice, "Lin Zi, you're so powerful now. Your Biological Level is almost at the Epic Level. Maybe if you visit Master tomorrow, you could even heal him and the Dean."

Lin Zichen was speechless. "You're thinking too much. I've just reached a slightly higher Biological Level. I'm not Hua Tuo reincarnated. How could I just heal them like that?"

Soon after.

The two finished their bath and left the bathroom.

Back in the room.

They began to skillfully deepen their relationship.

And this went on for the entire night.

If Shen Qinghan hadn't been so tolerant, they probably would have kept Zhang Wanxin in the next room awake all night.

It was around four o'clock in the morning.

They finally stopped deepening their relationship and curled up together under the covers to sleep.

For some reason.

Lin Zichen suddenly felt very tired.

His eyes had barely closed for two seconds before he fell into a deep sleep and began to dream.

In the dream.

Lin Zichen slowly opened his eyes to find himself in a strange environment so dark that he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.

What is this place?

Why am I here?

Lin Zichen, not realizing he was in a dream, frowned and looked warily around.

Suddenly—

"Buzz!"

A scarlet giant butterfly flew by.

...

...

...

Entering the Origin Land.

Venturing out of the city to seek Evolution Resources.

The Green Hills Ancient Mountain was destroyed, and Su Jiujie escaped.

Being chased.

Encountering Lin Zichen.

Completing the task through Mutually Beneficial Symbiosis.

...

...

Even with an achievement, Lin Zichen didn't want to save her because it was too dangerous. He wanted to run away.

Then Shen Qinghan said, "The Fox Woman saved us on Earth before, let's save her too."

So Lin Zichen went to save her.

Lin Zichen's strength was astonishing.

It shocked her.

Forming a Mutually Beneficial Symbiosis with the Fox Demon.

The city's insiders learned of the infighting and thought it was good news. They decided to help escort Su Jiujie to the Eastern Region to notify that old man.

Could it be a trap?

Some were worried.

Others argued that it was worth the risk even if it was a trap.

Qin Chuan went to escort her.

...

Latter on, they counterattacked the Origin Land.

All sorts of climaxes, the protagonist killing indiscriminately, all kinds of resources.

...

After that, the situation flipped suddenly, and they were defeated by the forces of the Origin Land, routing them completely.

...

Lin Zichen single-handedly guarded the lonely city, protecting Shen Qinghan.

...

City number one.

In the end, he escaped into the Abyss with Shen Qinghan.

Later on, the protagonist used the creatures of the Abyss to kill either Legendary Level Experts or Mythical Level Experts.

The protagonist, backed by the Abyss, became the Abyss Master.
