Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Liu Siming was somewhat surprised after he saw it, even he couldn't tell that Lin Shen was pretending to be dead; to any observer, he appeared completely like a dead man.

By then, Liu Siming was already 90% convinced. Lin Shen was merely a Lower Divine Being and moreover, one who had been captured to be used as a test subject, with all his belongings taken away; there was no way he could have orchestrated these events.

It must have been that bastard Shi Yuqing causing all this trouble, no wonder he constantly accused Tian of being a spy and stirred up so much trouble; it turns out he was always targeting the research institute.

Although the diary did not record things related to the two test subjects from the Ancient Realm, it seemed that it was because of these two from the Ancient Realm that he wanted to carry out this plan.

"Tian, I'm really sorry, it was all the mischief caused by that damned wretch that led you to suffer so much. Rest here for a few days, and once I clarify things with the higher-ups, I will soon get you out. And for this, you have also earned merit by capturing this spy; otherwise, who knows what trouble he could have continued to cause here, a reward is definitely warranted," Liu Siming said as he patted Lin Shen's shoulder: "This Shi Yuqing, must be one of those rebels from the God-making Race, it's a pity Shi Yuqing died, otherwise we might have dug up some news about the God-making Race."

"God-making Race?" Lin Shen was slightly startled; he hadn't expected to hear this name in such a place.

He had always thought that the God-making Race was just an organization in his Ancient Realm. Now, it seems it is not quite the case, even a Celestial Court Star Divine Official knows about the God-making Race, and from the tone, it seemed they considered the God-making Race a thorn in their side.

"It's normal for you not to know about the God-making Race. They are traitors who fled from the Celestial Court and established an organization outside in the Star Domain, constantly at odds with the Celestial Court. Inside the Celestial Court, the God-making Race is also considered taboo. They regularly sneak people from the Ancient Realm to act as spies, only they would do such a thing," Liu Siming paused and then said, "Now that you've become a Star Divine Official, you will inevitably deal with matters related to the God-making Race, and you might even have to engage with them. It's unavoidable."

"Can I still be a Star Divine Official?" Lin Shen said with a bitter smile.

"Of course you can. From now on, just follow me; I've got your back, and no one can touch a single hair on your head," Liu Siming said with a righteous expression.

Lin Shen had been imprisoned for over half a month, undergoing dozens of interrogations, and finally, he gained his freedom.

Liu Siming personally got him out and also awarded him a Three Stars badge, making Lin Shen a Three Stars Divine Official from henceforth.

This was already the limit a Lower Divine Being could reach. If Lin Shen desired further advancement, he could only be promoted to a Middle Divine Being, and then he might even ascend to a star-level position.

Of course, if one could achieve unprecedented merits, there might also be a chance for an extraordinary promotion, but that would be incredibly difficult.

Liu Siming also gave Lin Shen the position of Deputy Director of the Security Department, which was the highest position Lin Shen could hold at his level.

The reason why Liu Siming treated Lin Shen this way was not because he admired Lin Shen, nor because he felt guilty towards him.

Mainly, it was because Lin Shen had discovered that Shi Yuqing was from the Ancient Realm and might also be involved with the God-making Race.

Liu Siming attributed all the blame to Shi Yuqing, and this Shi Yuqing had been recommended by another Nine Stars Divine Official.

With such a connection, Liu Siming also pulled that Nine Stars Divine Official into the mess, minimizing the repercussions he himself faced this time.

Therefore, since Lin Shen had uncovered this spy, Shi Yuqing, he naturally became a great contributor. Liu Siming of course wanted to reward him amply, if only to show others, he couldn't ignore Lin Shen.

Moreover, Liu Siming now regarded Lin Shen as a lucky star; if it weren't for Lin Shen, with such a big issue this time, he would have been skinned even if not killed.

After considering many factors, Liu Siming decided to give Lin Shen so many benefits.

Although Lin Shen, as the Deputy Director, held a nominal position without much actual power, the benefits he received were substantial, and he no longer needed to patrol every day; all he needed to do was sit in his office.

Whether Liu Siming truly had Lin Shen's best interests at heart or had other motives, that was something Lin Shen could not know.

Having not left the Azure Sky Realm for half a month, Lin Shen finally returned to his own planet.

As soon as he teleported in, a cream-colored White Tiger, already over two meters long, pounced on him, knocking Lin Shen to the ground and repeatedly licking his face with its tongue.

"Wine... stop licking..." Lin Shen was slightly surprised; White Wine had grown a lot in the half month they had been apart.

The other three Little White Tigers also ran over, although they were not as large as Wine, they were nonetheless nearly the size of adult large dogs.

After calming the four little ones, Lin Shen finally noticed Di Esi and Wei Wufu standing nearby.

"Wei, are your injuries okay now?" Lin Shen got up and asked Wei Wufu.

"All the roots inside Wei have been completely removed," Di Esi answered on behalf of Wei Wufu, otherwise, such a complicated sentence would be difficult for Wei Wufu to articulate.

"And you?" Lin Shen asked.

"I plan to change my appearance and stay in the Celestial Court," Di Esi said thoughtfully, "Thankfully, due to the several fake identities Shi Yuqing had prepared for himself, Wei and I were able to leave the Azure Sky Realm without anyone noticing. We plan to continue using these identities to stay in the Celestial Court."

"While you were not here, we have already visited the planets corresponding to those identities; although ordinary, they are quite suitable for our development."

"There might be a problem with these identities," Lin Shen frowned and said.

"What problem?" Di Esi asked, puzzled.

"I originally thought Shi Yuqing was just from another Ancient Realm area, but recently I heard something from Liu Siming—that Shi Yuqing is likely from the God-making Race," Lin Shen revealed.

"The God-making Race?" Di Esi's face also showed shock; like Lin Shen, he always thought the God-making Race was an organization from their Ancient Realm, never imagining it also existed within the Celestial Court.

"Yes, the God-making Race you are thinking of; it is not merely an organization from our Ancient Realm," Lin Shen relayed the information he got from Liu Siming in full to Di Esi and Wei.

"So, you mean our God-making Race in the Ancient Realm could just be a minor section of the larger God-making Race?" Di Esi murmured thoughtfully.

"I had some doubts before; if Shi Yuqing, being from the Ancient Realm, was able to evade the Celestial Court's surveillance on his own and obtain an identity to become a Star Divine Official. If he belongs to the God-making Race, then everything makes sense," Lin Shen conjectured.

Di Esi understood Lin Shen's meaning: "So, the fake identities linked to Shi Yuqing were created by the God-making Race, and if we use those identities, the people from the God-making Race will eventually track us down, right?"

"Exactly," Lin Shen nodded slightly.
