Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

"Is that bow from the Golden Crow God Temple?" Tie asked again.

"Yes," Lin Shen nodded.

"You went to the ancient temple?" Tie continued to inquire.

"Yes, I couldn't have returned without going there," Lin Shen replied.

Tie appraised Lin Shen before continuing, "Good. You and I shall battle. If you win, the bow remains yours. If you lose, you give the bow to me."

"No need to fight. Take everything, just answer a few questions for me," Lin Shen said as he removed the bow and handed it over to Tie, along with a mechanical wristwatch.

Though the items were valuable, one needed to be alive to enjoy them.

Even Tian Xin had said that Tie was unfathomably deep, and Lin Shen suspected him to be the reincarnation of The Ancient Realm King, so he preferred not to give him an excuse to take action.

Tie seemed surprised, examining Lin Shen before slowly saying, "Do you not know the origins of this bow?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Since I've said I'd give it to you, even if it were the universe's greatest treasure, it's yours now," Lin Shen said as he tossed the bow and watch directly to Tie.

"This bow, while not the universe's number one treasure, isn't far off. It is the Immortal Life Base of the greatest archer of the Ancient Clan, possessing the strongest destructive power in the universe—second to none," Tie said calmly as he caught the bow.

"The Immortal Life Base of the Ancient Clan's greatest archer..." Tian Xin was astonished upon hearing this.

Because of the passage of time, ordinary people might only be aware of The Ancient Realm King's existence, with knowledge of the Ancient Dynasty growing scarce.

Tian Xin had researched much about the Ancient Dynasty since she needed to visit the Realm King Planet to find the Realm King's treasure casket.

The Ancient Realm King had established a dynasty, and it was certainly not just due to his strength alone.

The domain of the universe is immensely vast, and even if The Ancient Realm King were as strong as can be, he could not possibly guard the universe alone.

Beneath The Ancient Realm King were countless immortals from various clans, who after the formation of the Ancient Dynasty, were enfeoffed to govern different star regions.

Apart from those immortal beings from other races, the Ancient Clan itself also had many immortals, with the most famous being the Ancient Ten Generals.

Among the Ancient Ten Generals was one who was hailed as the universe's foremost divine archer—an Immortal who never missed his target, an arrow shot meant certain death, without exception.

However, due to the remote era, even the name of this divine archer was unknown, known only as one of the Ancient Ten Generals, nicknamed "Sun Shooter."

If this bow truly was the Immortal Life Base of the Sun Shooter General, its value would be beyond measure.

"Now that you have the item, it doesn't matter what it is. Can you answer a few questions?" Lin Shen said nonchalantly.

"Speak." Tie was somewhat taken aback, as Lin Shen was being surprisingly generous, which differed from his prior impression of Lin Shen.

"The one who left the message at the Yingyue Well, was it you?" Lin Shen directly asked his most pressing question.

"I don't know, I've forgotten," Tie replied.

"What do you think?" Lin Shen was not surprised by Tie's response. If there truly were issues with the reincarnation and rehabilitation of The Ancient Realm King, it was quite normal for him not to remember whether those were his own words.

"I don't know," Tie frowned.

"Did you complete your Nirvana there?" Lin Shen asked another question.

"Yes... and no..." Tie's reply this time was unexpectedly ambiguous.

"What do you mean?" Lin Shen also furrowed his brows.

"I can't remember things from the past. I can feel that I should have completed my Nirvana there, but I did not find a Fire Basin corresponding to my strength. It is possible that the attribute within the Fire Basin changed," Tie pondered aloud.

It was only then that Lin Shen understood; the words in the well had mentioned that after a Fire Basin gives birth to an Immortal Creature, its Attribute would change accordingly.

If Tie had used the power within the Fire Basin to achieve Nirvana, then it was very likely that the Attribute inside the Fire Basin had changed after the Nirvana.

"What do you remember about that place?" Lin Shen didn't know how else to ask, so he simply asked in broad terms.

"I know what you want to ask, but I can tell you, I am not him." Tie said as he tossed the bow back to Lin Shen, "I only want my own things. I don't want yours. Let's call all debts settled in consideration of Tian Xin's face."

"How can you be so sure that you are not him?" Lin Shen was somewhat incredulous but nevertheless let out a long sigh of relief. He hadn't expected that the face of that little guy Tian Xin would actually be useful.

"Because I've already remembered who I am." Tie stated with certainty.

"Who are you?" Lin Shen was suddenly surprised. If Tie really had remembered who he was, then it was highly unlikely that he was the reincarnated Ancient Realm King.

"What on earth are you talking about? Can you speak in a way that I can understand?" Tian Xin complained irritably on the side, as he truly couldn't understand a single word.

Lin Shen ignored him, staring at Tie as he awaited an answer.

"My name is Lin Yin." Tie said slowly.

Lin Shen gazed at Tie in shock, momentarily at a loss for a response.

That name was all too familiar to him; his second older brother was named Lin Yin, but Lin Shen was sure that Tie was not his second brother. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

Though Lin Shen had been young when his second brother had gone missing and had virtually no memory of him,

he had heard from his third and fourth brothers that the second brother had a very robust physique, which matched Tie to an extent.

However, their second brother was not a half-human, half-metal monster, and based on the remaining half of Tie's face, his facial features looked nothing like those of the Lin Family.

All the Lin brothers, including Lin Miao, had single eyelids, whereas Tie clearly had double eyelids, and there were no similarities elsewhere.

The color of their pupils and hair was also a bit different, and their facial features were clearly distinct.

"Where are you from?" Lin Shen felt that Tie, calling himself Lin Yin, probably just had a similar sounding name, or perhaps it was a coincidence of the same name.

"Dark Bird Base." The four words uttered by Tie left Lin Shen completely stunned.

"You say your name is Lin Yin, born in Dark Bird Base?" Lin Shen stared at Tie, convinced that the man must have lost his mind. How could he possibly be Lin Yin?

"Yes, Dark Bird Base, Lin Yin. I've remembered it now, some of the events I experienced at Dark Bird Base... but only some parts..." Tie explained.

"No, no, no, you are not Lin Yin, it can't be that you're from the Dark Bird Base." Lin Shen shook his head.

"What makes you say I am not Lin Yin?" Tie's eyes turned cold, and his iron hand seemed ready to move.

"You say you are Lin Yin, so do you know who I am?" Lin Shen asked, looking at Tie.

"Of course I know your name is Lin Shen." Tie didn't understand why Lin Shen was asking this.

"Then do you know where I was born?" Lin Shen asked again.

"Dark Bird Base." Tie said, frowning as he asked, "What are you getting at?"

"You know my name is Lin Shen and that I was born in Dark Bird Base. So if you are Lin Yin, how could you not know that Lin Shen is your younger brother, your own blood brother?" Lin Shen said, fixing his gaze on Tie.

Tie, struck dumb, stared blankly at Lin Shen and asked, "The Lin Yin we're talking about, is it the same Lin Yin?"

"In Dark Bird Base, there should not be a second Lin Yin, unless the Dark Bird Base you're talking about is not the same one I'm from." Lin Shen stated.

"So it turns out there's such a thing... then that means..." Tie, whose face always lacked expression, suddenly revealed a very complicated look, "You... are my brother..."
