112: Lin Yan returns, and a mysterious stone tablet appears!

"Yaner, why did you suddenly come back?"

Lin Yue was slightly stunned; he hadn't expected Lin Yan to come home at this time.

"The things at school are finished. Since there's nothing else to do anyway, I came home to check in."

Lin Yan casually placed her handbag on the cabinet, changed into slippers, and walked into the living room.

"Hi, Brother Fatty, Brother Bai."

Knowing that Fatty and Old Bai were Lin Yue's good friends, Lin Yan smiled and greeted them.

Just as she was about to go to her room, Lin Yue called out to her.

"Wait, I told you to play Land of the Final End. Have you played it these past few days?"

Frowning at his sister, several days had passed and he hadn't seen Lin Yan send him any messages. Could she have forgotten his instructions?

Seeing that Lin Yue was a bit unhappy, Lin Yan playfully stuck out her tongue. "Oh, brother, I've been too busy lately and forgot."

Although Land of the Final End was very popular now, Lin Yan originally didn't have much interest in playing games. In her past life, she had also dawdled for several days before entering the game with friends.

"You're not listening to what your brother says anymore, are you?"

Lin Yue's expression was a bit ugly, and his tone was very heavy.

If not for the Invasion of Ten Thousand Races, it wouldn't matter whether Lin Yan played this game or not. But reality was often cruel; most ordinary people who didn't enter the Land of the Final End in their past lives would die right at the start of the Invasion of Ten Thousand Races.

Seeing her brother lose his temper like this for the first time, Lin Yan could no longer smile. From childhood to now, Lin Yue had never spoken to her in such a heavy tone.

"Young Master Lin, don't be angry. Sister Yaner just forgot to play. It's not too late to enter the game now. Once she leaves the Novice Village, we can just carry her later. Her Rank will definitely catch up."

Fatty stood up and began to mediate.

"That's right, your sister is our sister. Fatty and I can definitely take good care of Lin Yan."

Old Bai also helped smooth things over. He knew Lin Yue didn't really want to scold Lin Yan.

Looking at Lin Yan's aggrieved expression, Lin Yue gradually regained his composure.

"Fine, I'll transfer ten million to you later. Enter the game as I say and reset your talent. Just reset it until it's a King-level Talent. Once you're out of the Novice Village, contact Fatty and the others to let them help you level up."

A Supreme-level Talent was definitely out of the question—that was a Unique Hidden Talent—but a King-rank talent could still be obtained through resets, and it was also a one-in-ten-thousand existence.

It had only been four or five days since the server opened. In two more days, the reset portal would close. There was still time.

"I know, I'll go play right now."

Under Lin Yue's tyranny, Lin Yan compromised and obediently did as Lin Yue said.

"Fatty, Old Bai, you should also persuade your families to hurry up and enter the game. If they can reset their talents, they should. If not, even a normal talent is fine."

After Lin Yan left, Lin Yue gave more instructions to Fatty and Old Bai.

The two nodded, realizing that Lin Yue might know something. However, they wouldn't ask for details; their long-standing brotherhood was there, and they knew Lin Yue wouldn't lie to them about this.

"Alright, let's head out."

He also sent a message to his parents, telling them to hurry and enter the game within two days. Lin Yue waved his hand, and they each returned to their rooms.

Logging in again.

Chaos was still sitting on the meditation cushion, quietly waiting for Lin Yue.

"How is it? Are you ready?"

"I'm ready."

Lin Yue nodded and stepped directly into the light circle. In the next second, his entire being disappeared.

This was a greyish world, as if the air was filled with invisible dust, and the entire world was shrouded in a layer of haze.

Lin Yue looked around at his surroundings. Everything was a blur of Chaos, with visibility less than three meters.

"How am I supposed to comprehend the Heart of Chaos? Are there no hints?"

He shouted towards the sky. After a few seconds, Lin Yue didn't receive any response.

It seemed that, just as Chaos had said, everything here depended on his own comprehension.

"There are only 24 hours. I need to hurry."

Since he couldn't figure out how to comprehend the Heart of Chaos, he would explore this Small World first.

Having made up his mind, Lin Yue started running. With a movement speed as high as 73 points, his current running speed was equivalent to driving a car at 73 kilometers per hour.

After running for about five minutes, although the front was still a blur of Chaos, Lin Yue could clearly feel that he seemed to have reached the edge.

Walking further forward, there was a noticeable sluggishness, as if an invisible force was preventing Lin Yue from continuing.

"Running along the edge, I should be able to find something."

Since he had reached the edge, Lin Yue simply decided to circle around it. This way, he could understand how large this place actually was.

He dropped a piece of common equipment on the ground to serve as a marker. Then, Lin Yue continued running.

About ten minutes later, Lin Yue, who had circled the edge, found the equipment he had dropped earlier.

"Ten minutes. The length of the perimeter is about 12 kilometers. Since it took me five minutes to run from the starting point to the edge, my previous position should have been close to the edge."

He found a piece of rubble and drew a rough sketch on the ground. After running the lap, Lin Yue could feel that this was a circular terrain.

Then the distance from the edge to the center point should be less than two kilometers.

Having calculated the approximate range, Lin Yue would no longer wander around like a headless fly.

"Very well. I'll head to the center point first; I should be able to find something there."

Aiming in the right direction, Lin Yue set off again and soon discovered something different.

At the center of the Land of Chaos stood a Stone Stele.

The stele was about as tall as a person, enveloped in Chaos Qi, appearing dim and mysterious.

"What's going on? A Wordless Stele?"

Lin Yue walked closer to inspect it. He wiped the dust off the Stone Stele and was immediately stunned.

"How am I supposed to comprehend this?"

With a bitter smile, Lin Yue sat down cross-legged, focusing all his attention on the Stone Stele.

He had already explored the surroundings; aside from this Stone Stele, there was nothing else in the entire Land of Chaos.

"The secret must be within the stele."

Lin Yue muttered to himself, his expression thoughtful.

This Wordless Stele couldn't just exist here abruptly. Its existence must have a reason; he should be able to find clues from this stele.

Comprehend, comprehend!

How to "comprehend," and what to "grasp"?

Lin Yue couldn't find a clue for the time being. He could only stare at the blank stele and keep thinking.

Gradually, Lin Yue began to cast aside all thoughts, immersing his mind and gaze entirely into the Stone Stele.

After five minutes, there was no change in the stele.

After ten minutes, Lin Yue rubbed his eyes. Long periods of intense concentration had caused some phantoms to appear.

After twenty minutes, Lin Yue felt a faint pain in his brain. Tears began to flow from the corners of his eyes, and they felt incredibly sore.

By the time he endured for thirty minutes, Lin Yue's vision had become somewhat blurred. The thought of giving up had already emerged, but before he could do so...

Lin Yue's head buzzed with a bang, and dense characters appeared on the stele!
