Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Lin Shen can now be sure of one thing, that is, "hasten as if by law" might indeed be the unlocking passphrase.

At least when reciting the note given by Third Brother and the talisman drawn by Wen Bujun, this phrase is the key to unlocking their power.

He tried using this passphrase to unlock Wen Bujun's talisman, and the effect was quite good.

Now Lin Shen is wondering, if he recites the Jade Emperor's revered name along with this passphrase, would he be able to summon the Jade Emperor.

The problem is Lin Shen dares not to try, as the Jade Emperor had mentioned that he can only be summoned once.

If he tries now, it'll be used up; if he doesn't, and later on it turns out to be useless, then it would just be a false joy.

This dilemma makes Lin Shen quite conflicted, unsure if this could truly act as a trump card.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to be too tangled about this; even without this trump card, he has come this far all the same.

Lin Shen is now researching what kind of planet he should choose; other people who won first place were awarded random planets.

Lin Shen naturally does not need randomness; Ying told him that with his authority, he could choose for himself.

Lin Shen, not being greedy enough, asked Ying if he could select multiple planets, to which Ying firmly responded "no".

If he had modified the rewards before, it would have been possible, but now that the competition has ended, it is no longer feasible to make changes.

Lin Shen had no choice but to review the planets used as rewards and didn't hesitate to choose the only First-Class Star.

Such a high-level resource star may not be needed initially, but in the later stages, it's something others can't even beg for.

Lin Shen only needs to rely on the resources from the competition reward to get by initially; he doesn't need the planetary resources, hence the First-Class Star is his best choice.

Aside from the First-Class Star, there were numerous resource rewards, and Aberrant Liquid was provided in barrels, each as tall as a person.

From Upper Level Aberrant Liquid to Upper Level Aberrant Liquid, there were over ten thousand barrels; just these could be enough for an ordinary Divine Being to advance to Middle or possibly even Upper level.

Of course, each Divine Being's situation varies, and the extent these barrels of Aberrant Liquid can help depend on the individual.

Lin Shen now is not lacking in resources; his real dilemma is how to achieve Immortality.

The Law path of the Ancient Realm is not suitable for him, and although he did achieve mastery over the Sun-shooting Great Method from the Ghost God Faction of Celestial Court, there were still no signs of becoming a Lower Divine Being, leaving Lin Shen confused and unsure where the problem lies.

Fortunately, with these resources, there's no need to worry about the sustenance for the four Little White Tigers.

Beyond resources, Lin Shen also received an invitation from the Star Divine Palace, not directly inviting him to join the Star Divine Palace, but to come for an interview.

Only after passing the interview, there's a possibility to join the Star Divine Palace and become a Star Divine Official.

Lin Shen discovered he had received a total of six invitations, with Star Divine Officials from Six Great Star Regions all sending him an interview invite.

The Star Divine Palace, like the Celestial Court, consists of six palaces, each Star Divine Palace being independent and each one having a Great Divine Official.

Lin Shen's top choice is naturally the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace, as the Jade Emperor is the ruler of the Central Heaven Star Region, which is the most advantageous to Lin Shen.

But there are disadvantages to these advantages; if the Jade Emperor were to turn hostile, Lin Shen wouldn't even have a chance to argue.

After much deliberation, Lin Shen decided to attend the interview in the Central Heaven Star Region.

He has become well-known by now; how could the Jade Emperor possibly overlook him, so avoiding is probably futile.

Lin Shen was ready; he planned to go to the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace for an interview as soon as the time came.

Deng Yongxin was now having a severe headache. The Shen Family had given them an ultimatum: if the alliance through marriage was not completed soon, the marriage alliance between the Shen and Deng families would be called off, and they could potentially become enemies in the future.

The crux of the matter was that the Shen Family had already decided that Tian was Deng Aduo. The person they wanted to marry was Tian, not the real Deng Aduo.

Where could Deng Yongxin find Tian to marry them now? This issue made him anxious every day.

Unable to resolve this issue, Deng Yongxin reluctantly went to seek Deng Xian.

Although, to Deng Yongxin, this Family Head was just a hands-off manager, with such unsolvable issues, he ultimately had to turn to him for resolution—after all, he was the head of the Deng Family.

Deng Xian was fishing by a pool, seemingly oblivious to Deng Yongxin's words.

After Deng Yongxin finished speaking, he stood by the side waiting for a while, but Deng Xian seemed as if he had heard nothing at all, sitting motionless and not speaking.

Deng Yongxin felt anger building up and was almost unable to hold it back when he finally heard Deng Xian speak.

"Since the Shen Family wants this marriage, let's hold the wedding as they wish," Deng Xian said indifferently.

"But Tian is not a person from our Deng Family, and he has also refused my proposal. Where can we find another Tian to marry them?" said Deng Yongxin irritably.

"You just handle the wedding, I have my way with the rest," said Deng Xian, still leisurely, holding a fishing rod in one hand and dough bait in the other, eyes fixated on the water, his head not lifted, talking as if it was a matter of no consequence.

"Family Head, that Tian is not easy to deal with, are you sure about this? If we can't produce someone when the Shen Family arrives, the situation will only get worse," Deng Yongxin remarked worriedly.

"I told you, you just handle the wedding," Deng Xian said calmly.

Deng Yongxin knew his temperament and, gritting his teeth, said nothing more but turned and left Deng Xian's courtyard.

"Just keep messing up, all of you pushing towards doom; if the Deng Family gets ruined by your actions, it'll make you happy," Deng Yongxin muttered resentfully.

After Deng Yongxin left, Deng Xian continued fishing for a long while. He ran out of bait but hadn't caught a single fish.

He was not the least bit anxious and carefully packed up his fishing gear, then took out a communicator and dialed Deng Kuang's number.

"Dad, what made you think of me all of a sudden?" Deng Kuang was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Deng Xian to call him.

Although they were father and son, they hardly spoke a few words in a month.

Moreover, their personalities did not mesh well. Although it couldn't be said that there were barriers between them, they weren't as close as typical fathers and sons.

"Are you familiar with Tian?" asked Deng Xian.

"Somewhat acquainted, but I can't help with the marriage alliance between the Shen and Deng families," Deng Kuang guessed Deng Xian's intention and directly nipped the conversation in the bud.

"Nine Lives and Nine Generations Will Commandment Seal, in exchange for him marrying into our Deng Family, you can ask him if he is willing. If he is not, then forget it," said Deng Xian impassively.

Deng Kuang was clearly stunned for a moment. After a long pause, he said, "Are you really willing to use the Nine Lives Seal?"

"Of all the words I've spoken to you since childhood, which haven't I fulfilled?" Deng Xian retorted.

"Fine, I'll ask Tian," said Deng Kuang after a pause, his tone somewhat peculiar. "What if Tian refuses?"

"What the Shen Family wants is Deng Aduo, and it's Deng Aduo they want to marry. If they want her, just give her to them," Deng Xian said, then cut off the communication, leaving Deng Kuang standing there, dumbfounded.
