Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

The next day, after Lin Shen arrived at the Celestial Master Institute, An Sai came to him with a command from the Lord Heavenly Emperor.

As Lin Shen took it and read through, the urge to curse his mother welled up inside him.

The Heavenly Emperor's command was for him to inspect Giant Ring Star, wasn't this just sending him to Giant Ring Star to make money? Wasn't that all about dealing with Tian Xun?

Having originated from the Tian Xun sect, the first command from the Heavenly Emperor was for him to exploit Tian Xun, this was truly too vicious.

Lin Shen was clear about the meaning of this command, it was both a test of his capabilities and his loyalty.

"This damn Heavenly Emperor, he's going to get what's coming to him sooner or later," Lin Shen cursed inwardly.

"Dean, this is both an opportunity and a huge challenge. You need to think it over carefully," An Sai said on the side.

"Sai, you have to give me some guidance," Lin Shen said with a wry smile.

An Sai walked to the door, locked it from the inside, and then drew the curtains before sitting down opposite Lin Shen and said seriously, "The situation on Giant Ring Star is very complicated.

The Tian Xun of the Tian Jue Family, Chi 118 of the third mansion of the Chi Family, and An 117 of the fourth mansion of the An Family, the interwoven interests are complex, and touching one thing affects everything else. If you handle it too harshly, you'll offend the Tian, Chi, and An families in one fell swoop; if you do it poorly, it'll be hard to explain to the Emperor.

It's really difficult to find the right balance."

"As a mere woman, I lack the ability to handle these matters for you. However, having heard that you come from the Tian Xun sect, there's something I must remind you. If you cannot manage this task, so be it. But if you do take it on, you should deal with Tian Xun first and foremost, ensuring not to treat it less seriously than the other two families, in fact, you should take it even more seriously."

"Sai, I understand," Lin Shen sighed softly.

He knew this principle all too well. Yet Tian Xun had given him so much, been so good to him, and the first thing he was supposed to do was to take action against Tian Xun. Wasn't this like stabbing a loved one with the first sword as he climbed ashore? How could he face doing this?

But now that things had come to this point, Lin Shen could only play it by ear and head to Giant Ring Star first.

"Sai, how many capable people do we still have in the Celestial Master Institute?" Lin Shen pondered. If he was going to Giant Ring Star to gather resources, he certainly needed some experts for protection.

In case people from the Chi and An families, agitated, attempt to take him down in secret, he needed someone who could protect him.

He wasn't afraid of Ascenders, but those two families were of Nirvana Level.

Hearing Lin Shen's question, An Sai's face showed difficulty: "The Celestial Master Institute indeed had many talented individuals in the past, but most have scattered, leaving behind the old, weak, sick, and disabled. If this were over a hundred years ago, there would still be a few capable fighters.

Now, they're either injured or weakened by age; it has been years since they last took action, and it's hard to find anyone who could hold their ground…"

Lin Shen became even more frustrated; here he was, a pawn of the Heavenly Emperor, tasked with the thankless job of acting as a villain to extract wealth, and yet he didn't have a single capable person under his command.

"Someone else can do this damn job; I refuse. Being a lackey still requires the power to bully others. What is this about, tossing me a big pie and telling me to risk my life by charging in alone?" Lin Shen angrily plonked himself into a chair and spoke resentfully.

"We can't speak like that. In name, you are helping the Emperor, but in reality, you are also helping yourself and the institute. Although the Little Imperial Uncle has helped us drive away those demanding debt, the debts still have to be repaid sooner or later.

You will need vast resources for your Nirvana, all of which will require money," An Sai pondered for a moment before smiling and said, "I remembered someone. He used to be quite a figure in our Celestial Master Institute and quite strong. I heard that after he stopped receiving a salary but remained employed, he didn't do well on his own and even ran into some trouble.

You could seek him out, bring him back, and take him with you to Giant Ring Star. As long as you have someone to act openly, it's unlikely anyone would dare to touch you."

"Tell me more." Lin Shen had only muttered his reluctance earlier; after all, it was not feasible for him not to go.

"That man's name is Kong Chuan; he's a member of the Peacock Clan," An Sai said with a smiling face. "He also has another identity—he's the elder brother of the Heavenly Consort. Having him accompany you, even if someone wants to harm you, they would at least have to think twice."

"The elder brother of the Heavenly Consort? Then how could he possibly be doing so poorly?" Lin Shen was somewhat incredulous.

The Heavenly Consort could be said to be the favorite consort showered with all the emperor's affection. With the Heavenly Emperor's level of favoritism towards her, even if her elder brother was doing poorly, how bad could it be?

"This you do not know. Originally, the Peacock Clan was vehemently against the Heavenly Consort entering the Imperial Palace. Among them, this Kong Chuan was the most arrogant, uttering words that should not have been spoken, and the words even reached the ears of Lord Heavenly Emperor. Thus, the Heavenly Emperor greatly dislikes him.

If it were not for the favor the Heavenly Consort enjoys, this man would probably have died long ago. Being able to live safely to this date is already a great fortune," An Sai said with a laugh.

"I see." Lin Shen had a sudden realization. If it were him, he would certainly not want his sister to marry such a terrible old man either.

Having offended the Heavenly Emperor and being of another race, it is imaginable how difficult it must be for him within the Celestial Race.

It could only be said that it's fortunate he was the biological elder brother of the Heavenly Consort. Otherwise, his situation would be much worse than just doing poorly.

Lin Shen planned to meet this Kong Chuan. Perhaps he could learn some details related to the Heavenly Consort from him.

Lately, Lin Shen had been pondering the pattern in which the Heaven Defying Bone emerges.

So far, it was only known that Heaven Defying Bone always appears on women with extraordinary talent, and these women are all quite exceptional.

As for the Heaven Defying Bone, Lin Shen had already been somewhat obsessed, and now he was even more determined.

Seeing as that despicable old man, the Heavenly Emperor, is so heinous, Lin Shen felt that spending a night with the Heavenly Consort also counted as robbing the rich to aid the poor, carrying out justice on behalf of heaven—the old man deserved it.

After taking down Kong Chuan's address from An Sai, Lin Shen headed out to find him straightaway.

There wasn't much time left before his trip to Giant Ring Star, so he had to quickly bring Kong Chuan back.

Knowing that Kong Chuan's life was tough, he didn't expect it to be so rough, to the point of having to set up a stall in the market to sell items.

An Sai told him that during the day, Kong Chuan would likely be at the market with his stall. Now, if Lin Shen wanted to find him, he could only go there.

After Lin Shen arrived at the market, before finding Kong Chuan, he saw the Shaggy Old Celestial from the other day, still wearing that tattered cotton robe, sitting behind the stall with arms crossed, resting with closed eyes.

Today, the Shaggy Old Celestial surprisingly wasn't setting up any incomplete games; instead, his stall displayed various odd and ancient-looking items.

"Elder, what are these things?" Lin Shen squatted down, inspecting the goods laid out on the ground, and while looking, he asked.

The reason he was interested in these items was that among them, there was something wrapped in thick mosaic.

The discovery of mosaic on items from an alien world brought joy to Lin Shen's heart.
