Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

When Lin Shen came out of the Everlasting Hall, he realized that many Divine Beings who entered before him had come out earlier, including Ji Fengyun.

"Tian, how did the interview go?" Ji Fengyun casually came over to ask.

"It doesn't look promising, I'm afraid it might be difficult to pass the interview," Lin Shen sighed.

The final question, although he felt he should answer that justice should override familial ties, he ultimately chose to deny it.

Because he feared if he chose justice over familial ties, then after joining the Star Divine Palace, they would assign him tasks akin to executing judgments, which was not his initial reason for joining the Star Divine Palace.

If that's the case, he would rather not join the Star Divine Palace now.

After all, there are other opportunities in the future, and there's no need to rush at this moment.

Ji Fengyun also sighed, "I've heard that the interview at the Star Divine Palace is different from the usual ones, and I saw that today. I also didn't perform well and probably don't stand a chance of becoming a Star Divine Official."

The two exchanged their experiences and found that the questions asked by the Star Divine Official were completely different for each of them, apparently tailor-made.

Dozens of Divine Beings who attended the interview came out one by one, each with a rather unpleasant look on their faces, presumably because the interviews did not go well.

This gave Lin Shen a glimmer of hope; if everyone's interview results were poor, perhaps he still had a chance.

Everyone stood anxiously on the square waiting for the results; the Star Divine Official's interview results would be given on the spot, without needing to go back and wait for news.

Eventually, when all the Divine Beings who participated in the interview came out from the Star Divine Palace, a huge holographic image appeared on the square, showing a Star Divine Official sitting behind a desk – the same one who interviewed Lin Shen before.

"Those whose names are called, stay; those whose names are not called can go back," the Star Divine Official said and then directly read: "Ji Fengyun... Lu Ming'er... Tian..."

Lin Shen was surprised to hear his own name; the Star Divine Official had called out only three names, and one of them was his.

"I actually passed the interview." Lin Shen felt no joy from passing the interview.

For him, this was just the first step. Moreover, he always felt that, given his performance in the interview, he shouldn't have passed.

Could it be that the Star Divine Palace allowed him to pass the test because they harbored suspicions about him and wanted to keep him close to control him at any time?

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Wu Qing, I am the Great Divine Official of the Everlasting Star Divine Palace, and from now on, you will be a part of the Everlasting Star Divine Palace, and we will be colleagues," the man said with a smile.

"He is the Great Divine Official?" Lin Shen was somewhat surprised; he had always thought the man was just a nine-star Divine Official, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be the Great Divine Official of the Everlasting Star Divine Palace, a supreme being second only to God.

"I didn't expect to actually meet the Great Divine Official, and this Great Divine Official seems very approachable," Ji Fengyun was in great spirits at the moment; like Lin Shen, he had not expected to pass the test.

"Wasn't it him who interviewed you?" Lin Shen heard Ji Fengyun's words, as if it was the first time he'd seen Wu Qing.

"Certainly not, a Great Divine Official generally would not conduct interviews personally, especially since we are only Lower Divine Beings. Even if the Great Divine Official did interview personally, he would usually only interview the Upper Divine Beings," Ji Fengyun said.

Lin Shen thought everyone was interviewed by Wu Qing, perhaps Wu Qing in the hall was just some sort of projection or split entity hard to distinguish by the naked eye.

Joining the Star Divine Palace was also exceptionally simple. There was no initiation ceremony; they were just given uniforms, badges, and a professional handbook for Star Divine Officials, and then they were sent off on their own.

They had three days to prepare before they could officially start the job.

"Your rights and duties, as well as the laws of the Star Divine Palace, are all clearly written in the professional handbook. You may or may not use your rights, but your duties must be fulfilled, and the laws must be adhered to. If a Star Divine Official violates any law, they will face the severest punishment," Wu Qing said last, and then the holographic projection disappeared.

After Lin Shen and others left the Star Divine Palace, Wu Qing and another Star Divine Official were standing in front of a monitor, watching them leave through the Teleportation Array.

"Wu Qing, why did you admit Tian? His interview was supposed to fail, right?" another Star Divine Official, Liu Siming, asked with some confusion.

"Not only did he fail, but there were also some problems," Wu Qing replied calmly.

"Problems? What problems?" Liu Siming asked, puzzled.

"There is no such food as tofu brain in the Celestial Court, you and I know that because we've both been to the Ancient Realm," Wu Qing said.

"He said he didn't know what tofu brain was, what's the problem with that?" Liu Siming still didn't understand.

"He hesitated. Normally, if he didn't know what tofu brain was, he should have shown a puzzled and confused expression immediately, but his initial reaction wasn't like that," Wu Qing said.

"Maybe he's just slow to react," Liu Siming thought for a moment and said.

"Later, when I asked him which Goddess he liked, he immediately showed a confused expression."

Liu Siming was stunned and said with a wry smile, "I wondered why you suddenly asked those weird questions, it turns out you suspected him all along? But isn't he Deng Aduo from the Deng Family, and also engaged to the Shen Family, how could he not be a Divine Being? Surely both the Deng Family and Shen Family couldn't have made a mistake, right?"

"Why couldn't they be mistaken? Everyone says he is Deng Aduo, but the Deng Family has never admitted it," Wu Qing said coldly, "Furthermore, I specifically watched the meeting between the Shen and Deng families, and Deng Aduo and the current Tian look completely different."

Liu Siming was dumbfounded: "How is that possible? If Tian is not Deng Aduo, then why hasn't the Deng Family come forward to clarify?"

"The specific reason is unknown, but what can be certain is, Tian is not Aduo, so we need to figure out who he really is," Wu Qing said with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Do you suspect he is from the lower realms?" Liu Siming said.

"I cannot rule out that possibility," Wu Qing.

"But that's also not right, if he came from the lower realms, how come nobody noticed him? Moreover, how did he obtain a Celestial Court identity card? Without an identity card, he wouldn't be able to attend the interview at the Star Divine Palace, let alone secure a star or qualify for competitions. Him not being Deng Aduo doesn't mean he is from the lower realms," Liu Siming thought it was impossible and looked at Wu Qing with a strange expression, saying, "Wu Qing, you're not being biased against him because he defeated your nephew Wu Xiaoming, are you? You have to think carefully, you are still just acting as the Great Divine Official. If there is any mistake during this period, or if you violate any laws, not only will it be difficult to officially become a Great Divine Official, but you might also be punished. Don't act impulsively."

"It's simple to find out if he's from the lower realms." Wu Qing was not upset by Liu Siming's speculation, and said calmly, "We've caught two people from the lower realms before, just let them meet each other. Whether they know each other or not, we will see immediately."
