Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Leaving the commercial island and on his way back, Lin Shen activated the Spirit Bee Ring to test it, finding its effects even better than he had imagined.

The yellow crystal-like Spirit Bee Ring housed a golden bee shadow the size of a ring, and Lin Shen found that his little finger fit perfectly into it.

However, once he activated the Cohesion Wave Ring skill, the halo that spread out from the Spirit Bee Ring was large enough to cover his entire body, with all the power fluctuations channeled through the Cohesion Wave Ring focusing into one point.

Lin Shen tried letting his Fist Power pass through the Cohesion Wave Ring. The Fist Power, within a certain range, was concentrated into a range as fine as a needle's thickness, which greatly pleased him.

Then he tried his Spatial Finger Power through the Cohesion Wave Ring, which became even more concentrated and fine, like the extremely sharp tip of a needle, and the spatial disturbances it caused were also greatly reduced.

Although this might still not be enough to handle the Ximen Swordsman, the effect was already quite significant.

With this item, as long as Lin Shen's research on Finger Power was successful, he could definitely play a good role against Ascenders skilled in borrowing and transforming strength.

"This thing is just perfect," Lin Shen was very pleased and decided to keep the Spirit Bee Ring on his little finger as a ring to wear.

On his way, Lin Shen checked the interstellar news on his communicator and inadvertently spotted an inconspicuous piece of news.

The Di Man Tribe and the Celestial Race had recently encountered some friction, leading to several conflicts and many casualties on both sides, with Nirvana Beings perishing in the conflicts, including five from the Celestial Race side.

At first, Lin Shen was only attracted by the issues between the Di Man Tribe and the Celestial Race, but when he saw the list of perished Nirvana Beings, three of them had the surname Ouyang, which made Lin Shen's heart skip a beat.

He quickly searched for related news and finally found in a report that these three Ouyang-named Nirvana Beings were all Human, coming from Firce Fire Star.

"The Ouyang Family that Ouyang Yudu belongs to, they're the ones who have been developing on Firce Fire Star, aren't they? The death of three Nirvana Beings all at once must be a serious blow to the Ouyang Family," Lin Shen wanted to find more information about the Ouyang Family.

However, the Ouyang Family really wasn't worth mentioning in the cosmos; the three deceased Nirvana Beings could only make the news because they had died in conflicts between the Celestial Race and the Di Man Tribe, otherwise there might not have been any reports at all.

This made Lin Shen suspect whether the Ouyang Family's predicament could be related to Ouyang Yudu's assistance to Lin Shen during his conflict with the Wan Family.

"Three Nirvana Beings!" Lin Shen knew how difficult it was for Humans to produce even one Nirvana Being, so the current situation of the Ouyang Family must be very dire.

He wanted to contact Ouyang Yudu, but being on Giant Ring Star, he couldn't reach anyone from the Ouyang Family.

"Since Tian Xun is not here, it seems I'll have to seek help from Tian Xin." When Lin Shen returned to Paradise Palace, he saw Tian Xin lying on a chair in the garden, as if basking in the sun.

"Help me out," Lin Shen said as he approached Tian Xin.

"Why should I?" Tian Xin replied, not bothering to lift her head and still wearing sunglasses.

"Don't forget, the key to your mystery box was given by me," Lin Shen reminded her.

"That was my little niece's favor, what does it have to do with me? You didn't hand the key over to me," Tian Xin retorted with a pout.

Lin Shen felt Tian Xin wasn't wrong; indeed, the key was taken by Tian Xun, so if anyone owed a favor, it was Tian Xun who owed it.

"This item, in exchange for your assistance. I need information about a Human family; that family is within your Celestial Race." Lin Shen took out the Ascension version of the Angel Revolver and handed it to Tian Xin.

"It was bound to be mine sooner or later, so it's just coming back to me," Tian Xin said as she took the Angel Revolver and fiddled with it in her hands. "Name the family, and I'll ask a friend to inquire for you. But don't get your hopes up. Human families are a small influence within the Celestial Race, and we might not be able to find out anything."

"The Ouyang Family from Firce Fire Star. I need to know their recent situation in detail," Lin Shen insisted.

"The Ouyang Family from Firce Fire Star... seems somewhat familiar... Is it the Human family that lost three Nirvana Beings in the recent conflict with the Di Man Tribe?" Tian Xin pondered and then asked.

"Yes, that's the Ouyang family," Lin Shen confirmed.

"Hold on, let me contact some people." Tian Xin said and stepped aside, then pulled out her communicator.

Lin Shen could only wait. After a while, Tian Xin came back and said, "Is the Ouyang Family your friend or your enemy?"

"Friend," Lin Shen replied.

"If they're your friends, then that's a relief. The Ouyang Family is in a terrible state right now. Among those five Nirvana Beings who died in the conflict, although only three bore the Ouyang name, the other two Other Races Nirvana Beings were actually under the patronage of the Ouyang Family. So, all the Nirvana Beings who died in that conflict were from the Ouyang Family."

"Now, the Ouyang Family only has two Nirvana Beings left holding the fort, plus one Other Races Nirvana Being who fled, leaving only one Nirvana Being in the Ouyang Family. Their rivals have suppressed them harshly, and many of their properties and territories on Firce Fire Star have been taken away. I estimate it will be tough for them to stay on Firce Fire Star.

Even if they manage to hold on, they're likely to be taken over by their competitors."

"All the dead Nirvana Beings were from the Ouyang Family? Is there a chance that the Di Man Tribe is deliberately targeting the Ouyang Family?" Lin Shen frowned slightly, which led him to make some unfavorable judgments.

"How could a clan like the Di Man Tribe possibly target a mere Ouyang Family? They were merely caught up in the skirmish with our Celestial Race Deity, playing the role of collateral damage," Tian Xin said disdainfully.

"Who was in charge on the Di Man Tribe's side during this conflict?" Lin Shen inquired.

"I heard it's the favorite daughter of one of the Di Man Tribe's seven kings, the Arrogant Monarch, Catherine," Tian Xin informed.

"So it was her," Lin Shen's face grew even grimmer. He continued, "Among the Di Man Tribe's forces in this conflict, was there a Human family with the surname Wan?"

"Hold on," Tian Xin replied, once again pulling out her communicator and walking away. After a short while, she returned.

"No, Catherine does have a Human family with the surname Wan under her command, but they did not participate in the battle," Tian Xin stated indifferently. "Conflicts like this are normal in the universe; let alone a Human family, even some small races are wiped out in the clashes of larger tribes. The universe is not as easy to navigate as you think.

Survival and development of small races in the universe are extremely challenging. Too many small races have been wiped from the annals of history, struggling even to leave their names behind."
