Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 1068: Chapter 1068 Lin Shen’s Plan

After returning to his own planet from the Azure Sky Realm, Lin Shen’s smile gradually faded from his face.

“Liu Siming, Wu Qing,” a shadow flickered across Lin Shen’s eyes.

He had never intended to help Liu Siming obtain Qingyuan Grass. Even if he succeeded, would a profit-seeking person like Liu Siming offend Wu Qing, who was about to become the Great Divine Official, for his sake?

Even without thinking, Lin Shen knew it was impossible.

Now that he still had value, Liu Siming could afford to speak kindly to him. But once Lin Shen lost his usefulness, Liu Siming’s speed in discarding him would be so fast that Lin wouldn’t even see his taillights.

Yet not accommodating Liu Siming now would mean making an enemy of him, and it might not even require Wu Qing’s intervention before Liu Siming himself came to deal with Lin Shen, not stopping until he fully complied.

From the moment he mentioned Qingyuan Grass to Lin Shen, Liu Siming had already made his plans; he did not want Lin Shen’s compliance, but his lack of consideration.

If Lin Shen refused, Liu Siming would probably use every means at his disposal until Lin Shen gave in.

Lin Shen knew the situation was troublesome. Previously, he wasn’t of any use to Liu Siming, who naturally didn’t bother with him. But now that there was something to gain, Liu definitely wouldn’t let him go.

What worried him the most was not Liu Siming, but Wu Qing.

He suspected that Wu Qing’s targeting him was not just because of Wu Xiaoming; ever since he joined the South Star Divine Palace, Wu Qing seemed to be testing him, suspicious of something.

The fact that Di Esi had escaped from the Heavenly Prison always weighed on Lin Shen’s mind, it was definitely a test for him.

Hearing from Liu Siming that Wu Qing was targeting him intensified Lin Shen’s suspicions that Wu Qing had guessed his true identity and was constantly seeking evidence—that was what really worried Lin Shen.

“It seems impossible to stay any longer in the South Star Divine Palace; I need to find a way to leave,” Lin Shen pondered with a frown.

According to the laws of the Celestial Court, once someone becomes a Divine Official, it’s impossible to leave the Divine Palace.

Resigning forcefully would be viewed as a violation of the Celestial Court’s statutes, punished lightly by imprisonment in the Heavenly Prison or in severe cases, execution on the spot.

Once that happens, all the planets he owns will be stripped of their powers, leaving him nowhere to hide or easily trapped by the Divine Officials.

Initially, Lin Shen had no choice but to opt for the South Star Divine Palace in order to save Di Esi and Wei.

Leaving now, however, is not so simple.

In fact, Lin Shen had previously studied the ways to leave the South Star Divine Palace, and there was only one way to do it: transfer to another Divine Palace.

But this path is equally difficult. Although the Six Great Star Palaces belong to the Celestial Court, each department operates independently, and it is extremely difficult for Divine Officials to switch allegiances.

Even if other Divine Palaces want people, it depends if the South Star Divine Palace is willing to let them go.

If the South Star Divine Palace is unwilling to release someone, Lin Shen cannot transfer to another Divine Palace.

It seems there are no options left, but Lin Shen still harbors a glimmer of hope.

Under normal circumstances, if the South Star Divine Palace doesn’t release someone, Lin Shen could not transfer to another Divine Palace, but there is an exceptional case.

Central Heaven Star Region is the central core of the Celestial Court, with the Jade Emperor also being the supreme ruler of the Celestial Court and the leader among the six Great Emperors.

If the Jade Emperor himself issues a direct order for personnel transfer, then even if the South Star Divine Palace is unwilling to release someone, they have no choice but to comply.

Even though others might have influential connections, it’s impossible for them to have the Jade Emperor himself assist with job transfers, but Lin Shen is different; the Jade Emperor is his Guardian Spirit, so there might indeed be a chance.

Of course, Lin Shen didn’t actually go to seek out the Jade Emperor, nor did he plan to try and summon him.

Lin Shen planned to try his luck at the Star Divine Palace in Central Heaven Star Region; he hadn’t been working there all this time for nothing.

He had already figured out that each Star Divine Palace has its independent Smart Brain system, and all orders within the palace are issued through this Smart Brain system.

Even the orders from the Emperors of each district are communicated through the Smart Brain system by the Great Divine Official to obtain instructions.

Unfortunately, this is the South District; Lin Shen had encountered the South Star Divine Palace’s Smart Brain system but couldn’t influence it.

Now, Lin Shen wanted to enter the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace and gain access to its Smart Brain system. Perhaps he could use that system to issue a transfer order under the name of the Jade Emperor to the South Star Divine Palace.

Having previously controlled Ying, Lin Shen believed the feasibility of this plan was quite high; even if it were not successful, he wouldn’t lose anything.

Who Wu Qing is and how he would deal with him, Lin Shen had no idea, but Liu Siming was like an eternally insatiable wolf that might devour his bones clean at any moment—he could no longer stay here regardless.

Lin Shen didn’t reveal to Liu Siming that he wasn’t Duo; instead, he used that as an excuse to request leave from Liu Siming, saying he had to return to the Deng Family to handle some matters.

Liu Siming thought Lin Shen had come to his senses, wanting to go back and assist him with the Qingyuan Grass matter, so he readily agreed and readily approved Lan Shen’s leave.

Lin Shen first contacted Deng Kuang, and used Deng Kuang’s connections to teleport to the Deng Family.

The Star Divine Palace has the authority to track teleportation trails, and it would be easy for Liu Siming to figure out where he teleported to, so Lin Shen must not let him discover any clues; he must first visit the Deng Family.

Luckily, Liu Siming only had access to teleportation data of the South Star District; once he reached Central Heaven Star Region, wherever Lin Shen teleported to next would be out of Liu Siming’s surveillance.

It’s also not beyond possibility that Liu Siming has connections in the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace that could help him track Lin Shen’s teleportation trail.

“You, becoming a Divine Official is one thing, but choosing to go to the South Star District rather than staying in the Central Heaven Star Region where our brothers could look out for each other,” Deng Kuang candidly expressed his complaints when he came to pick up Lin Shen.

“Second Brother Deng, I’m in trouble and need your help,” Lin Shen sincerely said.

“What trouble? Don’t worry, with your second brother here, everything will be handled,” Deng Kuang responded.

“I’ve offended someone in the South Star District.” Lin Shen shared his issues with Wu Qing and Liu Siming to Deng Kuang.

After listening seriously, Deng Kuang’s brows furrowed tightly: “The previous Great Divine Official of the South district had some connections with our Deng Family, but he tragically met his end while leaving the Celestial Court for another Star Domain. Now, the acting Great Divine Official in the South district, Wu Qing, has no relations with our Deng family. From what you’ve said, someone like Liu Siming would not stop until he gets what he wants from the Shen Family for Qingyuan Grass, and your situation in the South Star Divine Palace is perilous; you must leave quickly.”

“That’s what I was thinking. I want to be transferred to the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace,” Lin Shen said.

“Many of the high-level Divine Officials, even the Great Divine Official in Central Heaven Star Divine Palace have connections with our Deng Family, and might show us some favor. But even if the Great Divine Official wants to transfer you to Central Heaven Star Divine Palace, Wu Qing and Liu Siming won’t likely release you,” Deng Kuang knew under these circumstances, it would be virtually impossible for Lin Shen to be transferred.

“I know,” Lin Shen said looking at Deng Kuang. “So I want to ask you, Second Brother Deng, to secretly take me to the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace. I have a plan that could make them transfer me there, and Wu Qing and the others wouldn’t be able to prevent it.”

“What could you possibly do? Wu Qing and Liu Siming won’t let you go easily. How about this: I’ll have someone talk to Wu Qing, as it’s just a matter among kids, and Wu Qing might not stubbornly refuse to resolve it. Before the matter is settled, you can stay here where no one can touch you,” Deng Kuang suggested.

“Second Brother Deng, I really do have a way. Just secretly take me to the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace and let me stay there for a couple of days. If my plan doesn’t work, then I’ll listen to you,” Lin Shen quickly said.
