Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Upon receiving the news, An Yi rushed back to the An Family's First Mansion at the first moment and didn't emerge for quite some time after entering.

Suppressing the bizarre energy within the Gou Li Nest clearly wasn't an easy task.

Fortunately, An Yi arrived just in time. Had he been any later, it wouldn't have been just An Family's First Mansion in danger, but the surrounding residences as well would have been affected, forcing them to move away from here.

When An Jiahe and An Zhixue went to find Lin Shen again, they couldn't find even a trace of him, and they were almost grinding their teeth in frustration.

"Lin Shen must die!" An Jiahe's words seemed to be squeezed through clenched teeth. Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire

Lin Shen requested an audience with Emperor Tianshu, thankfully, it seemed the emperor had already anticipated his arrival, as Tian Congyun was waiting inside the palace gate.

Tian Congyun led Lin Shen back to the study, where Lin Shen started off by pleading to Emperor Tianshu with a pained expression, "Your Majesty... you must help me..."

"You didn't manage to obtain the Dark Domain Lotus Seed, did you?" Emperor Tianshu, sipping on tea, spoke casually.

He had already anticipated that it wouldn't be easy for Lin Shen to get the Dark Domain Lotus Seed from An Family's First Mansion.

"I did get the Dark Domain Lotus Seed," Lin Shen's response made Emperor Tianshu pause in slight surprise.

Emperor Tianshu examined Lin Shen closely but didn't find any signs of vitrification on him; his skin was normal, not emitting that kind of glow.

"It seems you're not as foolish as I thought. Who went on your behalf to delve into the depths of the Gou Li Nest and retrieve the Dark Domain Lotus Seed?" Emperor Tianshu thought Lin Shen had someone else go down into the Gou Li Nest in his place to secure the Dark Domain Lotus Seed.

However, as soon as he spoke, Emperor Tianshu felt something was off and fixing his gaze on Lin Shen, he frowned, "If you've already obtained the Dark Domain Lotus Seed, then what do you need this emperor's help for?"

"Your Majesty... I took the seed... but... there was a little problem..." Lin Shen didn't know how to explain the situation.

"Did you have a big fight with someone from the An Family and wound them?" Emperor Tianshu pondered, "If that's the case, then you are at fault. You should have been able to take a beating without fighting back, and take an insult without responding so that I could have intervened on your behalf."

"I didn't lay a hand on anyone," Lin Shen shook his head.

"Then what did you do?" Emperor Tianshu, hearing that no punches were thrown, was half-relieved and he picked up his tea cup for another sip.

"The Gou Li Nest collapsed..." Lin Shen said helplessly.

"Pfft..." Emperor Tianshu sprayed out the tea that was just about to enter his mouth, widened his eyes in disbelief, and stared at Lin Shen, "What did you say? Say that again?"

"The Gou Li Nest has collapsed... But it really wasn't my intention to do that..." Lin Shen defended himself.

Nonetheless, Emperor Tianshu had no mood to listen to his defense and immediately pulled out a communication device, pressed the full button, and then the holographic imagery of An Family's First Mansion appeared, providing an aerial view.

Seeing the distressed people of the An Family's First Mansion outside, Emperor Tianshu first let out a long sigh of relief and then burst into hearty laughter, "Even the An Family's First Mansion has seen such a day."

After his laughter subsided, he turned to Lin Shen and said, "Kid, do you have any idea the magnitude of the disaster you've caused? The Gou Li Nest has collapsed, and the energy inside has leaked out. If we hadn't evacuated in time, generations of the An Family would have been destroyed by your hands, and even I would not be able to stop the enraged An Yi."

"Your Majesty, it really wasn't me who collapsed the Gou Li Nest..." Lin Shen hurriedly recounted everything that had happened after he entered the Gou Li Nest.

Except for not mentioning his ability to see acupoints on the stone figures, he was quite forthcoming with everything else, with almost nothing omitted. In the end, Lin Shen presented the Gou Li Silk he had obtained to Emperor Tianshu.

"You entered the Gou Li Nest on your own, without someone else going down on your behalf?" Emperor Tianshu was somewhat surprised.

"At the time, I hadn't expected the An Family to let me go down myself, so I didn't bring anyone with me. I went to the An Family's First Mansion alone," Lin Shen said with a pained expression. "Fortunately, I have a special ability that can withstand that kind of special energy from corroding my body, otherwise I definitely would not have been able to obtain the Dark Domain Lotus Seed.

"Your innate ability can actually resist the special energy of the Gou Li Nest; you are indeed fortunate," commented Emperor Tianshu as he examined the content on the Gou Li Silk. "I've heard about this Gou Li affair. The Gou Li Nest was named after him. Gou Li was different from ordinary people since childhood. It is said that he was mentally deficient and very difficult to manage. I never imagined there was such a reason behind it."

"The things he mentioned may not all be the result of insanity; perhaps his vision was inherently different from ordinary people, able to perceive the microscopic world, which is why he was different from normal people," Emperor Tianshu's conjecture coincided with that of Lin Shen.

Looking at the skill section in the back, Emperor Tianshu smiled and said, "However, his psychological resilience is too poor. Just because of this, he has developed delusions, creating a technique that is purely imaginary and does not conform to the laws and rules. It is an imaginary false technique. No matter how much he searches, he will not be able to find anyone capable of mastering this technique."

Having said that, Emperor Tianshu instructed someone to return the Gou Li Silk to Lin Shen: "You keep the item for now. This matter is a bit troublesome. You almost wiped out an entire clan; to protect you, I fear I'll have to stake my old face."

"Your Majesty, save me," Lin Shen lamented.

"Enough, wait here for now. I'm going to the An Family's First Mansion to take a look. Before I return, do not leave the study, and do not go out regardless of who calls you," ordered Emperor Tianshu as he left Lin Shen waiting there and departed on his own.

Lin Shen had no other choice but to wait here. An Yi was ruthless enough to directly kill the Head of the Celestial Masters' Institution. If this incident wasn't resolved, his life was probably in jeopardy.

The last Head of the Celestial Masters' Institution was a top-tier Immortal Level powerhouse, while he was just a mere Ascender, definitely not their match.

It was well into the night before Emperor Tianshu finally returned late.

"To save you, this emperor had to personally help An Yi seal the Gou Li Nest, at the cost of my own lifespan," Emperor Tianshu's voice sounded a bit weak.

"Your Majesty's great kindness, I have no way to repay. Tian vows to serve Your Majesty to the death," Lin Shen bowed deeply.

"You'd better cause me fewer troubles, that's better than anything else," said Emperor Tianshu, seemingly really tired, gesturing with his hand, "Go back. An Yi himself is also at fault in this matter. With me here, he won't harm you over this, but your enmity with the An Family's First Mansion is now firmly established. From now on, your days in the Celestial Master Institute will not be easy. Take care and try to stay indoors as much as possible."

Lin Shen left the Imperial Palace and did not go home, but directly to the Celestial Master Institute, where he summoned everyone and told them to be careful from now on, making sure not to give anyone leverage against them.

"The incident with the An Family's First Mansion... was it you who caused it?" asked An Sai and the others, stunned. The news of the An Family's First Mansion fleeing in disarray had spread across the whole Sky Pinnacle Star.

What they never expected was that it was Lin Shen who had caused it.
