Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

"Of course, you dare to want my life. As the Ghost God of the Secret God Star, you can take anyone's life as you please. I'm just a bit curious, why would a Ghost God like you attach yourself to Ouyang? What exactly are you trying to do?" Lin Shen coldly stared at the Jade Bone Demoness, who was like a female ghost, as he spoke.

The previously aggressive Jade Bone Demoness, who came to hold him accountable, was taken aback: "How do you know?"

"I'm currently the Star Constellation Master of the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace, responsible for patrolling the Secret God Star. If I still can't guess what you are, wouldn't that make me seem rather foolish?" Lin Shen said indifferently.

"You know I'm a Ghost God, yet you dare to incite Yudou to harm me. Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?" the Jade Bone Demoness said hatefully.

"There's no need to say the same thing twice," Lin Shen looked at the Jade Bone Demoness and said, "Do you know what I have Ouyang practicing?"

"The Netherworld Marriage Technique of the Great Heavenly Netherworld King. Do you think that by using a more pleasing name and deceiving Yudou, you can also deceive me?" the Jade Bone Demoness said through gritted teeth.

"As long as you know, do you think, given your status as a Ghost God, besides the Netherworld Marriage Technique, is there any other way for you to stay by his side?" Lin Shen said.

"Why can't I? If I want to stay, I'll stay. What can you do about it?" the Jade Bone Demoness responded.

"Whether I can do anything to you is another matter. But if Ouyang takes another path, with his talents, as long as he embarks on the Ghost God Path, he will certainly forge a new path. By then, when he has his own Ghost God, how will you find your place?"

Lin Shen smiled and said: "I gave him the Netherworld Marriage Technique so you could engage in Dual Cultivation with him. This is planning a future for you. Instead of being grateful, you come to take my life. Isn't that a bit ungrateful?"

"Nonsense, you want me to become a puppet under the constraints of the Netherworld Marriage Technique. You clearly have ulterior motives. You want to harm me and still want me to thank you. Do you really take me for a fool?" the Jade Bone Demoness shouted angrily.

"So, it's not that you don't trust me, but you don't trust Ouyang?" Lin Shen said calmly: "Given Ouyang's character, even if you are constrained by the Netherworld Marriage Technique, you won't lose anything. Instead, you can be with him for a long time. If you're so afraid, it means you're harboring other intentions."

"You're talking nonsense!" The Jade Bone Demoness, in her agitation, actually burst out with vulgarity.

Lin Shen ignored her and continued speaking to himself: "If you don't have ulterior motives, without other thoughts, then does it mean you don't trust Ouyang's character? If you trust him, with the Netherworld Marriage Technique as a constraint, you two can be a lifelong couple. No force in the world can separate you. From then on, he would be your only one, and you his. Tell me, what's wrong with that?"

The Jade Bone Demoness opened her mouth but couldn't find words to refute Lin Shen.

Without giving her time to think, Lin Shen continued: "If he doesn't practice the Netherworld Marriage Technique and takes another path, how will you find your place when he eventually comprehends the Ghost God Path? Can you still stay by his side like this? Even if Ouyang accepts you, will his Ghost God?"

These successive questions caused the Jade Bone Demoness to fall into deep thought.

"You've accompanied Ouyang all this way, and I've seen all your actions. Maybe you're blinded by your feelings and can't see Ouyang's intentions, but as an outsider, I see it clearly. Ouyang probably can't do without you in this lifetime and has no room for any other woman in his heart..." Lin Shen sighed.

The Jade Bone Demoness trembled slightly and blurted out: "Really?"

"If that weren't the case, why has Ouyang, all these years, never shown interest in other women and only mingles with us brothers?" Lin Shen said earnestly.

"That's because he's a man of integrity, unlike you," the Jade Bone Demoness retorted with a pout.

"That's right, compared to us, Ouyang's moral standards are indeed much higher. But loving women, that's a man's nature. Even saints have said, the nature of appetite and desire is innate. Even a man who is not a philanderer would need a true soulmate. Why doesn't Ouyang approach other women? It's because he has already found the best soulmate in his eyes, so he naturally isn't interested in any other woman," Lin Shen sighed, "Although I don't think you're the right choice for Ouyang, nor do I think you're that good, but unfortunately, that's what he thinks."

The Jade Bone Demoness's face showed a strange expression she couldn't control, and her lips twisted more than Ak's in an effort to suppress a sneer, "Your superficial judgment can't see the good in others."

"Whether you're good or not, I don't know, which is why I need to guarantee my brother's safety. The Netherworld Marriage Technique is the guarantee I gave him. With it, I can be sure that you'll follow him wholeheartedly, not harm him, and never betray him. At the same time, it's also a path for you. Only through the Netherworld Marriage Technique can you be bound to him for life. Otherwise, when he takes the Ghost God Path, your situation will become too awkward. Though I don't think Ouyang needs you, considering you have a place in his heart, I thought of such a path. Otherwise, I would just assist him on the Ghost God Path. By that time, his comprehended Ghost God would naturally expel you, so why would I need to do all this?" Lin Shen explained.

"Hmph, what can his Ghost God do to me," the Jade Bone Demoness said this, but her tone noticeably softened.

"Now that we've spoken this far, can you tell me why you chose Ouyang? What exactly are your intentions toward him? I won't be at ease until I understand." Lin Shen stared at the Jade Bone Demoness and asked.

This was the question Lin Shen was most concerned about. He had been stringing the Jade Bone Demoness along with his talk to uncover her true intentions.

The Jade Bone Demoness pondered for a moment and said: "You, as the Star Constellation Master of the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace, must have heard the story of the First Immortal in the world, right?"

"I might have some impression, but I can't quite remember. Are you connected to the First Immortal?" Lin Shen asked back.

"Ouyang's past life was the First Immortal," the Jade Bone Demoness slowly revealed something that shocked Lin Shen.

"His past life was the first Immortal in the cosmos?" Lin Shen's eyes widened in disbelief.

"A returned dead is a Ghost, and a deceased living is an Immortal," the Jade Bone Demoness said calmly, "The first deceased living being is the first Immortal in the world."

"What is a deceased living being?" Lin Shen really couldn't understand.

"Can the dead return? Theoretically, dead is dead; naturally, there is no return, which means there are no Ghosts in the world. However, the first Ghost in the world indeed was a dead person returning. That wasn't because they hadn't died, but because their body was injected with a new soul...or perhaps...a system or data..." the Jade Bone Demoness slowly revealed a truth that shocked Lin Shen.
