Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Everyone is looking for Little Wine, not because they're worried she might get hurt, but primarily because they're afraid outsiders might have taken her, or that she might have fallen from Star Ring Island. If she really fell into some crack or cave, it would be terrible if they couldn't find her.

The reason everyone is so anxious this time is that they've almost turned Star Ring Island upside down without finding Little Wine, suspecting she might have fallen off the island.

If she's fallen onto the continent of Giant Ring Star, the search will be much more troublesome.

"Elder sister, it seems she's not on the island. Let's start searching the continent immediately," Tian Xun said urgently as he approached.

"Hurry and search, don't just stand there, start looking quickly," the elder sister gave Lin Shen a push.

"You haven't even told me what my girl looks like?" Lin Shen quickly said.

"Do you need to ask? Have you ever seen a girl who's only two months old, can crawl, and zoom around with sparks and lightning at seventy kilometers per hour?" the elder sister said crossly.

"Right, right, my girl's so special, I'd recognize her at a glance," Lin Shen nodded repeatedly, feeling a bit dizzy.

It was still Tian Xun who sent a photo to Lin Shen. It was of a little baby wearing a one-piece romper, with thick hair, thick eyebrows, eyes not too big but very beautiful single phoenix eyes, looking very cute and mischievous.

"This is my daughter... But the name Little Wine... sounds a bit like White Wine... I'll have to think of a good formal name later," Lin Shen leapt into the air, left Star Ring Island, and started searching the continent below.

Everyone else also took to the skies, even Tie joined the search for Little Wine.

Lin Shen hadn't expected that he'd become part of a search team as soon as he returned. He was flying close to the ground, searching thoroughly, not letting any suspicious area pass, especially those gullies and forests, Lin Shen searched as carefully as possible.

Given Lin Shen's current vision and hearing, one could say he had eyes that could see a thousand miles and ears that could hear the wind, if he listened carefully. But some places in the crevices were not easy to see at a glance, and he didn't have the ability to see through.

When flying over a mountain, he saw that it was bare rock, seemingly without any place to hide a person, so Lin Shen was going to fly straight over.

But for some reason, Lin Shen took a second look, flew around the mountain for a circle, and discovered there was a cave crack on the mountainside.

The mountain wall was nearly vertical, it shouldn't be possible to climb up, yet, as if moved by a supernatural force, Lin Shen landed and walked into the cave to take a look.

The cave was deep and should have been pitch black, yet there were strange flashing lights inside, Lin Shen hesitated for a moment before flying towards the depth of the cave.

The cave was deep but almost without turns, when Lin Shen arrived at the deepest part of the cave, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised.

The depths of the cave formed a relatively large space, and in this space grew many thick roots.

These roots were as thick as arms in some places, and as thick as water tanks in others, each one connecting the top and bottom of the space, like a bare dense forest.

At this moment, a baby wearing a pink-red one-piece romper, with phoenix eyes, was sitting beside the dense forest of roots, holding something in her hands.

Lin Shen immediately recognized the baby as his daughter; there was no need to check with the photo, those eyes and mouth were unmistakably like his.

"Little Wine, how did you get here?" Lin Shen landed in front of Little Wine and reached out to pick her up.

Little Wine didn't resist at all, instead, she laughed happily, waving something in her hands.

Lin Shen held Little Wine and looked closely, he was slightly startled, Little Wine was holding something that looked like a Jade Gourd.

For Base Mutation Plants, it wasn't all that uncommon to produce a Jade Gourd, but Lin Shen quickly realized something was off because there were words on the gourd.

"One sip of wine from the gourd, joy like the Immortal." Lin Shen saw the words written crookedly on it, not even qualifying as a jingle, probably just randomly carved by someone.

But when he saw a few more words on the other side, Lin Shen's eyes widened.

On the other side were the words "Little Wine Emperor." This name was too famous, Lin Shen couldn't possibly not know it.

The five sacrificial robes from the Giant Ring Star's secret place were left by this Little Wine Emperor.

However, Lin Shen couldn't be sure whether this Jade Wine Gourd was really left by the Little Wine Emperor.

In the cosmos, many things claimed to be associated with famous people were quite common, who knew if this was just a replica bought by some Little Wine Emperor enthusiast and casually discarded here.

"Little Wine, let daddy take a look at this wine gourd," Lin Shen tried to take the wine gourd from Little Wine's hands.

Little Wine obediently let go, sucking on her tiny hand, her eyes curiously watching Lin Shen.

Lin Shen took the wine gourd and tried to open its lid to see if there was anything inside.

A wine gourd, as the name suggests, is naturally used for holding wine.

This gourd seemed to be crafted from creamy white jade, yet it bore no signs of artificial carving, as if it were naturally formed.

Moreover, the gourd had a transparency that creamy white jade did not possess; it was translucent but not fully transparent, with clouds of mist within it.

When Lin Shen attempted to pull the cap off, to his surprise, it wouldn't budge, making him pause slightly. Then he pulled again, using force this time, yet there was absolutely no response.

At this moment, Lin Shen already felt something was amiss. His strength was immense; when he pulled with force, it surpassed most Immortals, and an ordinary Lower Grade Divine Artifact wouldn't have withstood it.

The fact that this wine gourd didn't react at all suggested it was no ordinary object.

Lin Shen was inwardly shocked, "Could this truly be the Little Wine Emperor's item?"

Lin Shen pulled again with increased force, but the result was the same; the wine gourd remained intact, the lid unmoved.

This shock was no trivial matter for Lin Shen. He had already exerted his full power, which rivaled that of an Upper God, yet this wine gourd seemed impervious, truly unbelievable.

"Though the Little Wine Emperor was strong, he was from the Ancient Realm at most, no more than an Immortal. Why is the object he left behind of such peculiar quality... unless the Little Wine Emperor also visited the Celestial Court..." Lin Shen pondered secretly while examining the surroundings.

This place wouldn't have a wine gourd appear without reason; perhaps there's something else here.

Indeed, Lin Shen soon discovered something noteworthy. Where Little Wine had been sitting, on the ground's stone surface, there were some carved characters.

Lin Shen waved his hand to clear away the dirt, revealing lines of crooked text.

"One person, one sword, one gourd; with wine, there are no equals."
