Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

"Could he be pretending not to have got the Ascension Egg?" Lin Shen thought no one would be that foolish.

Everyone outside could see clearly, so how could it possibly be feigned?

"Friend, what\'s the matter?" Lin Shen\'s curiosity got the better of him, and he took the initiative to greet and ask.

The bat man sighed, "I did get the Ascension Egg, but it\'s not the one I wanted."

"That Ascension Egg looks like it can hatch a powerful pet," Lin Shen said.

"It\'s indeed nice. The Mutated Ascension Purple Lightning Break-Sky Sworder, with three mutant Base Talents and a double mutant Life Base Talent..." the bat man went on to reveal detailed information about his Ascension Egg.

Lin Shen was somewhat surprised as he was just asking casually, not expecting the bat man to disclose such confidential information to him, a stranger.

The bat man seemed to have realized his mistake too and suddenly stopped, looking at Lin Shen for a while before saying with a bitter smile, "You look so much like my human friend, I accidentally mistook you for him..."

Only then did Lin Shen understand why the bat man had told him all that; he had been mistaken for someone else.

Lin Shen became even more curious. Just how similar did he look to the friend of the bat man for such a mistake to be made? He guessed it must be because of the bat man\'s mood that caused this momentary lapse.

"What\'s your human friend\'s name?" Lin Shen inquired with curiosity.

"His name is Zhengzong. You humans all look quite similar, but you and he share a particularly striking resemblance. Although he looks more mature than you and isn\'t as lively. He\'s also a very good person who has given me a lot of help. He\'s both a mentor and a friend to me," the bat man explained.

"Zhengzong... Zhengzong herbal tea? Who would give themselves such a name? Zhengzong... Zhengzong... Zongzheng..." Lin Shen felt the name sounded a bit odd and then suddenly seemed to realize something, his eyes widening in shock.

"Damn, don\'t tell me... Isn\'t San Ge Lin Zongzheng\'s name?" Lin Shen hurriedly stopped the bat man who was about to leave.

"Is there something you need?" The bat man turned back and looked at him, puzzled.

"This human friend of yours, Zhengzong, does he have a scar here that\'s not very noticeable? It looks like a wrinkle from frowning, so it seems like he\'s always furrowing his brow," Lin Shen asked, pointing to the space between his eyebrows.

"Eh? Is that a scar? I always thought he had many worries, so he would be frowning all the time..." The bat man was taken aback: "How do you know this? Do you know him?"

Lin Shen thought to himself, "More than knowing him, it\'s got to be San Ge Lin Zongzheng."

However, Lin Shen kept these thoughts to himself, not voicing them out loud. If his brother was using the alias Zhengzong, there must be a reason for it; Lin Shen couldn\'t blow his cover.

"If this Zhengzong you\'re talking about is the Zhengzong I know, then yes, I do indeed know him. Not only do I know him, but we are also distant relatives," Lin Shen said, while inwardly thinking, "Distant relatives, indeed."

"No wonder you two look so alike, so you actually are relatives, that\'s great," the bat man responded with delight upon hearing Lin Shen was Zhengzong\'s distant relative. "Come on, let\'s find a place to drink something."

"No rush, just wait for me a moment. I want to check inside," Lin Shen said, pointing to the church.

"You can push open the doors of the church?" The bat man asked. Then, as if a lightbulb went off, he added, "Since you\'re Zhengzong\'s relative, you must be extraordinary like him, surely it will be no trouble. Go ahead and try your luck. If you\'re fortunate enough to get an Ascension Egg, that would be fantastic."

Lin Shen nodded and walked to the front of the church. Using Super-Base Change, he slowly pushed open the doors of the church.

After entering the church, Lin Shen found that the interior was as dilapidated as the outside, with a divine statue on the platform being the only standout amidst the chairs missing arms and legs scattered everywhere. At a glance, one could see everything.

The chairs and statue were both very worn out. Lin Shen walked around inside, only seeing the mottled frescoes on the walls. There was no sign of any Ascension Egg.

"It seems my luck isn\'t great, definitely not because I\'m not good-looking enough," Lin Shen turned to walk back towards the main entrance.

Since there was no Ascension Egg, lingering here was pointless. It would be better to leave quickly and ask the bat man about Zhengzong.

Lin Shen reached the entrance, where this time the doors opened by themselves without needing to be pushed. After he stepped out, the bat man consoled him, "These churches are very strange. It\'s normal to not obtain an Ascension Egg."

"Getting it would be great, but it\'s no big deal if I don\'t," Lin Shen didn\'t seem to mind much and turned to Yun, "Yun, why don\'t you go give it a try."

"I can\'t, can I?" Yun was slightly taken aback.

"You\'re already here, might as well feel the atmosphere," Lin Shen said with a smile.

Yun nodded, knowing that being only at Alloy Level, she didn\'t meet the three requirements. She probably wouldn\'t be able to push open the doors of any church, but since she was already there, touching the doors would count as having been here.

Lin Shen chatted with the bat man and learned that his name was Bart and that their race was called the Bart Race.

Unlike other races that had entered the interstellar age, the Bart Race had not yet entered the Interstellar Age. A higher-ranking race had discovered the planet of the Bart Race during space travel and brought Bart out.

Originally Bart was not named Bart, but he used this name to honor his race.

In the vast universe, there was only one Mutator of the Bart Race, Bart, traveling alone.

Because of the matter concerning Zhengzong, Lin Shen and Bart had a great conversation. Lin Shen was about to inquire further about Zhengzong\'s news when they suddenly heard a loud clang.

Both men were attracted by the sound and turned to look, and were immediately surprised.

The two big doors of the church had unexpectedly opened completely. Yun was standing in front of the open doors with her hand stretched out, looking somewhat puzzled.

"What are you waiting for? Get in there," Lin Shen didn\'t know how Yun had managed to open the door, but since it was already open, there was no point hesitating.

Bart was equally puzzled. With his strength, he could barely push open a door, and only enough to squeeze through. How did that moon rabbit woman manage to push both doors open at once? What kind of strength was that?

Only Yun herself knew that she hadn\'t used any force at all. As soon as her palm touched the door, it opened on its own.

Hearing Lin Shen\'s words, Yun hurriedly walked in, and the doors closed behind her.

Lin Shen and Bart both stared at the church, no longer in the mood for chat.

Before long, a beam of light shot up from the top of the church, and the image of an Ascension Egg appeared.

The Ascension Egg kept transforming, and after a moment, it turned into a divine statue.
