Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

"A cup of wine with thousands of stars in it..." Lin Shen read the words written on the pillar.

"A pot of the universe intoxicates eternal life..." Ouyang Yudu stood by another pillar and read the words written on it as well.

"Who is this person? Such immense aspiration, thousands of stars are but wine in his cup, and the universe to him is merely a pot of wine; this person's heart is truly boundless." Lin Shen snorted in disdain, anyone can boast, and those particularly fond of writing often prefer to exaggerate.

"Although the couplet is not that impressive, the ambition behind it is indeed extraordinary," Ouyang Yudu said with a smile, "This last part, 'intoxicates eternal life,' I wonder if it means to get someone named Eternal Life drunk, or if it implies becoming intoxicated to achieve eternal life, never to awaken again."

"With such arrogance, it's highly probable that he included his own name, I'm inclined toward the former," Lin Shen glanced around.

Apart from some furniture, there was nothing else in this place, and everything here was connected as part of the entire ancient city and could not be moved at will.

"Let's go up to the second floor," said Ouyang Yudu as he headed for the stairs.

Lin Shen followed suit, and the Blue Light Butterfly outside showed no sign of leaving, constantly crashing into the ancient city and chains, indicating they certainly had no way to leave now.

Upon reaching the second floor, they found the situation was the same; all furniture and decorations were monolithic, only this place appeared to be for sleeping, with a very exquisite silver-white bed.

Beneath the window opposite the bed, there was also a desk.

Surprisingly, there were even writing brushes, ink sticks, paper, and an inkstone on the desk, which were all eerily part of the desk itself.

Although fake, the silver-white paper indeed had a painting on it—a portrait of an ancient beauty.

"How come this beauty in the painting looks so much like our human ancient beauties? And the architectural style of this ancient city is clearly similar to our human ancient architecture..." Although Lin Shen felt it was improbable, he still saw a resemblance.

The beauty in the painting showed no traits beyond those of a human, and her clothes were very similar to those from a certain period of our ancient humans.

"Wide robes and large sleeves with gartered stockings... Hmm... this isn't gartered stockings... What were they called in ancient times..." Lin Shen couldn't remember the name for something similar to gartered stockings in ancient times.

"Leggings, the ancients didn't have trousers, they wore long robes, and later these leggings appeared, to keep the legs warm and also to make going to the toilet convenient," Ouyang Yudu remarked, examining the beauty in the painting.

"Right, that's the name." Lin Shen knew it as well, but he didn't remember as clearly as Ouyang Yudu.

"This ancient city does have a lot of similarities with ancient human things, including the script and portraits here, but it's highly unlikely to be built by humans," Ouyang Yudu said, "The history of human civilization isn't that long; even at the peak of technological development, it would be difficult to create such a large, integrated city with such detail."

"Couldn't they just sculpt it out and then manually polish and refine it?" Lin Shen asked.

"That's possible, but do you think there were such materials at that time? Materials that even Nirvana Creatures can't destroy. If in the past our mother planet had such materials, the study of materials would have soared, and the entire civilization would have taken off long ago," Ouyang Yudu explained.

"Makes sense," Lin Shen continued to look at the picture of the beauty.

The beauty sat on something like a swing, and as the swing soared, the wind lifted her outer robe, revealing her leggings and a segment of a beautiful leg, looking very happy.

The scene in the painting was a courtyard with some buildings, plants, and rockeries, and no other people were included.

There wasn't much on the surface, only a red seal in the corner.

"Zhong Buheng... Are these the three characters?" Lin Shen asked Ouyang Yudu beside him. The characters on the seal were obviously distorted, and Lin Shen thought they looked like these three characters, but he wasn't quite sure.

"Yes, these are the three characters. Judging by the style of the font on the seal, it bears a resemblance to the characters on the pillar; likely they were written by the same person," Ouyang Yudu observed and commented on the characters on the seal.

"So it's that egomaniac. Not only does he like to brag, but he also draws lewd pictures—probably a blowhard LSP," Lin Shen said with a sneer.

"I don't know about LSP, but this person's level should be quite high, at least at the Nirvana Level," Ouyang Yudu said.

"How can you tell?" Lin Shen didn't know how Ouyang Yudu had come to that conclusion.

Ouyang Yudu pointed towards a wall, and when Lin Shen turned to look, he immediately noticed that the wall was densely covered with inscriptions.

"Thousand Men's Pointer... Created by Zhong Buheng in a drunken state... Despite being just a minor skill picked up casually... it is powerful enough to traverse the universe..."

"Damn, this Zhong Buheng really is insufferably arrogant. And what's with this crappy name? Why name it 'Thousand Men's Pointer'? Doesn't that just mean a criminal?" Lin Shen couldn't help but complain after reading the introduction.

"Look at the content," Ouyang Yudu, however, seemed to pay more attention to the words on it.

Lin Shen carefully read the content and found it quite interesting—not only interesting but also somewhat familiar.

"Eh... Isn't this the Finger Skill from the video Red Heart A sent? I heard Ye Ya say that this move is supposed to be called 'Demon Heart Finger,' so how did it become 'Thousand Men's Pointer'?" Lin Shen wondered, then read on.

Soon, Lin Shen found that the skill recorded on the wall was indeed a Finger Skill and very similar to Demon Heart Finger.

But rather than calling it Demon Heart Finger, it was more accurate to say that Demon Heart Finger was merely the introductory move to this Finger Skill.

Thousand Men's Pointer contained elements that Demon Heart Finger did not, and Demon Heart Finger was just a segment of a video without anything else. Here, there was a complete set of Finger Technique instructions and annotations, the content far richer than what could be conveyed in the video.

Only at the end did Lin Shen realize that "Thousand Men's Pointer," generally speaking, probably required someone of Nirvana Level to truly unleash its power. Experience more tales on m v|l e'-NovelBin.net

Without Nirvana Attributes, it was difficult to project one's strength outward, and Thousand Men's Pointer would lack most of its potency. Thus, it was somewhat comparable to Demon Heart Finger. However, Demon Heart Finger had undergone some modifications to become more complex.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This complexity wasn't because it was improved but because the original version had certain high demands. Unable to meet those demands, modifications had to be made to achieve the same goal through more complex methods.

"So that's how it is!" Lin Shen finally understood and then memorized the contents attentively.

Even though Zhong Buheng was an egomaniac, the skill "Thousand Men's Pointer" was genuinely useful.

Moreover, the Demon Heart Finger that Lin Shen had used previously lacked the instructions, and today he had finally completed the set.

"Could it be that this ancient city was built by that Great Demon King Ye Ya mentioned?" Many thoughts flashed through Lin Shen's mind.
