Lin Zichen looked up at the Abyssal Giant Butterfly.

It was five meters long.

And ten meters wide.

Its body was covered with a cold, crimson glow.

The edges of its mouthparts were filled with thick, sharp fangs.

The vitality within it was very weak, so weak that it was almost imperceptible, and there was no biological pressure, like a walking corpse.

However, its extremely fast flying speed proved that it possessed immense vitality and a very high Biological Level.

This form of life was very peculiar, quite different from any known creatures.

So... was this the Abyss?

The so-called Life Forbidden Zone of the Abyss...

As Lin Zichen quietly stared at the Abyssal Giant Butterfly soaring above, he spread his spiritual power to probe into its body, sensing its life structure, while pondering these thoughts.

While he watched the Abyssal Giant Butterfly, it too slowed its flying speed, circling slowly above as it watched him.

After a moment of staring, two antennae on top of the Abyssal Giant Butterfly began to emit light dots like grains of sand, decorating the dark nothingness, resembling a cosmic star chart, extremely spectacular and beautiful.

Seeing the Abyssal Giant Butterfly suddenly emitting numerous unknown light dots, Lin Zichen immediately tensed up, fearing it was an attack methodology of the creature.

Just as his nerves were stretched to breaking point—

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

The sharp sounds of air being torn apart rang out one after another from the distance.

The next second, dozens, hundreds of Abyssal Giant Butterflies emerged from the darkness, each one slowly circling above Lin Zichen's head.

Each Abyssal Giant Butterfly's body was covered in glowing veins, radiating pinpoints of starlight.

Dozens, hundreds of glowing Abyssal Giant Butterflies gathered together, forming a brilliant light enough to illuminate an entire street.

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

The surrounding environment remained pitch black, where one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face.

Other than the glowing Abyssal Giant Butterflies, there were no other reference points to be seen.

Lin Zichen, while wary of the circling Abyssal Giant Butterflies above, frowned and surveyed the surrounding darkness that remained all encompassing.

He suddenly felt that this pitch-black environment, where he couldn't see his own hand, was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

After carefully thinking, he realized that this dark environment looked exactly like the system's void, which displayed system text messages.

Were these two related in some way?

Could it be… that the system's void was the Abyss of the Origin Land?

Again, the Origin Land.

Again related to the Origin Land.

Both parents' Sea of Consciousness was full of Source Crystals, and this system's void looked exactly like the Abyss from the Origin Land. What exactly was going on?

Lin Zichen was utterly baffled.

"Sizzle..."

"Sizzle..."

"Sizzle..."

Suddenly, a gradual and increasing sound of rain barely began to echo.

The light dots emitted by the Abyssal Giant Butterfly poured down from the sky like rain, hitting the pitch-dark below and sparking a dazzling light, then quickly vanished into nothingness.

Lin Zichen below was hit by numerous falling light dots.

Unlike when hitting the dark ground below, these light points, upon hitting Lin Zichen, did not vanish into nothingness.

Instead, they transformed into an extremely dense energy, instantly flooding into his body, penetrating the deepest recesses of his brain into the Sea of Consciousness, and solidifying into a piece of crystal-clear crystal.

In the blink of an eye, his Sea of Consciousness, previously full of water, was now covered with crystals like blocks of ice.

Lin Zichen took a closer look and was shocked to find the crystals in his Sea of Consciousness were all Source Crystals.

What was happening?

Were these Abyssal Giant Butterflies above me transmitting Origin Force?

Lin Zichen was stunned, unable to believe what was happening even as it transpired.

Just as he tried to gather his thoughts—

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Suddenly, his field of vision, like glass on the verge of shattering, abruptly filled with cracks.

Before he could react, his vision shattered into pieces.

On each fragment, his face was clearly reflected.

Then, everything went black, and he lost consciousness instantaneously.

"Sizzle..."

"Sizzle..."

"Sizzle..."

After an unknowable amount of time, Lin Zichen was awakened by the sound of clear rainfall. He opened his eyes groggily to find himself in his room; Shen Qinghan was sleeping soundly beside him, and it was raining lightly outside the window.

Was that just a dream...

Lin Zichen sat up from the bed, his head heavy as if he were drunk.

He rubbed his temples, trying to recall the dream, feeling as though everything in it had been real.

Hmm?

Source Crystals?

Were there Source Crystals in my Sea of Consciousness?!

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

He discovered Source Crystals in his own Sea of Consciousness.

The same size.

The same quantity.

The same position.

Just like in the dream!

Could it be that it wasn't a dream, but rather, he had entered some kind of space?

Could it be his parents' doing?

Lin Zichen suddenly thought of this. Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin's Sea of Consciousness also had Source Crystals, perhaps the dream he just had was related to them.

Thinking this, Lin Zichen immediately spread his spiritual power into his parents' room, only to see a scene completely different from what he had imagined.

His parents were both deeply asleep, showing no signs of having moved.

The only one moving was his little sister Lin Ziying.

This little one wasn't sleeping in the middle of the night but was sucking on her thumb while kicking her round, plump little legs restlessly.
