Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

"Chaos Gourd... Great Emperor... It seems Xiaoye knows quite a lot..." Lin Shen gazed at Xiaoye and gently asked, "Xiaoye, what's the deal with the Chaos Gourd?"

Lin Shen only learned about the existence of the Seven Treasures Gourd from the wine gourd, and the Seven Treasures Gourd is not a Great Emperor's Divine Artifact either.

The Purple Gold Gourd in Xiaona's hand was taken by the Southern Everlasting Emperor, who refined it into a Great Emperor's Divine Artifact.

The Chaos Gourd, however, was in the hands of the Half-iron Wack who was gambling with the Little Wine Emperor. Lin Shen was still only speculating about who the Half-iron Wack really was.

Yet, with just one glance, Xiaoye could recognize the connection between the Chaos Egg and the Chaos Gourd and even stated that the Chaos Gourd was a Great Emperor's Divine Artifact, which was rather unusual.

Even if Xiaona had told her about the Chaos Gourd, Xiaona and Lin Shen had heard just as much; she didn't know that the Chaos Gourd was a Great Emperor's Divine Artifact. How did Xiaoye know?

Xiaoye's gaze swept across Wei Wufu and the others, clearly hesitant, unwilling to speak out in front of so many people.

"We're all friends here, just say it straight." Lin Shen said.

Xiaoye hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I only know that the Chaos Gourd was in your past life's possession. After obtaining the Little Universe from the Little Wine Emperor in that past life, you used the Chaos Gourd and the Little Universe to create a Little Universe independent of the cosmos, intending to build a new world. The Chaos Gourd, by merging with the Little Universe, was promoted to a Great Emperor's Divine Artifact. Later, for some reason, your past self couldn't transform the Chaos Gourd into a complete new world and underwent reincarnation. I don't know much about the new world inside the Chaos Gourd, just heard you mention some things inside, which included these Chaos Eggs."

"What did my past life look like? Can you draw it for me to see?" Lin Shen suddenly felt there were some issues.

Xiaoye surprisingly knew that the Ancient Realm King obtained the Little Universe from the Little Wine Emperor, implying that the Half-iron Wack was the Ancient Realm King.

If the Wack was Tie, why would Xiaoye and Xiaona fail to recognize him?

If they recognized him but did not acknowledge it, yet claimed him as the reincarnation of the Ancient Realm King, then there's a problem here.

"Dad, you should have said earlier if you wanted to see, I have a photo of your past life, I'll get it for you now." Before Xiaoye could speak, Xiaona said while she took out a photo from the Red Gourd and handed it over to Lin Shen.

Lin Shen was somewhat surprised. If he had known Xiaona had a photo of the Ancient Realm King, he wouldn't have been guessing endlessly.

But thinking it over, he indeed hadn't asked Xiaona or Xiaoye.

Lin Shen took the photo and looked at it, finding it different from what he had imagined. The photo didn't show a half-human, half-iron creature but a gentle-looking middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

On this man's face, the resemblance to Xiaona and Xiaoye was faintly visible. People say daughters resemble their fathers, and this seems true for Xiaona and Xiaoye; they indeed quite resemble the Ancient Realm King, especially around the eyes and eyebrows.

With Xiaona and Xiaoye looking so gorgeous, the Ancient Realm King naturally wasn't lacking either—a rare handsome man, even surpassing Ouyang Yudu and Di Esi. He possessed a unique stability and maturity typical of a middle-aged man, making Ouyang and Di Esi appear a bit youthful in comparison.

Lin Shen finally understood why, despite having mastered "Evolution Theory," "The Greed for Life and Fear of Death Elixir," and "Stepping on the Immortal Court," Xiaoye and Xiaona didn't believe he was the reincarnation of the Ancient Realm King.

When compared to that image and aura, Lin Shen truly was not like him in any way, indeed quite far off.

"Is this an old photograph? Wasn't the person gambling with the Little Wine Emperor a half-human, half-iron figure?" Lin Shen looked at the two girls and asked.

"Not at all, Dad, you have always looked like this, never changed," Xiaona said while looking at Xiaoye, "I didn't know about Dad gambling with the Little Wine Emperor before, sis, what's going on?"

Xiaoye shook her head and said, "Father indeed has always looked like this. I only heard him talk about obtaining the Little Universe from the Little Wine Emperor, never witnessed it myself, nor do I know how it happened. Maybe the Wack mentioned by the wine gourd wasn't Father himself but one of his subordinates or a friend."

Listening to Xiaoye, Lin Shen's original hypothesis seemed to be overturned.

Both Xiaoye and Xiaona said so, implying Tie could not be the Ancient Realm King. So who was he?

Lin Shen couldn't figure it out for the moment and felt it wasn't the right time to think about it. He turned to Xiaoye and asked, "Xiaoye, what's with these Chaos Eggs? Can you identify which one has a pet inside?"

Xiaoye pondered and said, "I only heard Father say that the Chaos Gourd itself has the ability to evolve worlds, to nurture all things in the Chaos World. But to create life from nothing is a taboo among taboos, not allowed by cosmic rules, and is impossible to achieve."

"The original evolutionary ability of the Chaos Gourd also needs a blueprint and prototype. It's like planting; you need seeds first before you can grow trees and bear fruit. Creating life out of thin air is nearly impossible."

"Later, after obtaining the Little Universe from the Little Wine Emperor in his past life, he merged the Little Universe with the Chaos Gourd, promoting the Chaos Gourd to Great Emperor level, only then possessing some creation ability. He was... very satisfied in that past life and demonstrated his ability to create from nothing in front of me, resulting in these Chaos Eggs."

"Even with this ability, the success rate is still pathetically low. Creating objects out of thin air and new lifeforms is a cosmic taboo and consumes a lot of energy. The Chaos Gourd could only nurture one Chaos Egg every several years, and usually, they were just shells. Until Father left us, I hadn't heard him say he successfully nurtured any creatures."

"But it seems success has been achieved now. The life form nurtured inside a Chaos Egg is undoubtedly extraordinary, a life not found in this world, and it counts as an important relic left by the past life."

Originally not caring much about the so-called graduation pet and only wanting to pass the exam, several people realized that this graduation pet was unusual, possibly even a Great Emperor level pet. If they could obtain it, it would be equivalent to having an additional Great Emperor level combatant, greatly increasing their chances of passing the exam.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Xiaoye helplessly said, "I've only seen a Chaos Egg once, and it was a failed one. I have no idea how to tell which one is a successful Chaos Egg, looking at me is useless."
