Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Tian Buluo examined the corpse in the snow, saying somewhat uncertainly, "Is this really the corpse of a Celestial and the Heavenly Emperor? There is no trace of the aura of the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill at all."

"If you don't know, how would I?" Lin Shen shook his head. He couldn't even see what the corpse looked like, so he didn't even have a chance to judge.

Even Tian Buluo couldn't be sure if the corpse before them was that of a Celestial and the Heavenly Emperor. Meanwhile, Lin Shen was pondering a question: was this Celestial and Heavenly Emperor male or female? In theory, it should be a man, but he had never seen the Fire Seed on a man's body.

But he couldn't ask Tian Buluo that, after all, the person was right here. He couldn't just tell Tian Buluo that he was blind.

"Let's keep looking, there might be other corpses," Tian Buluo suggested as they hadn't found anything, and so they continued searching, with Lin Shen following him.

The two turned the mountain peak upside down but found no second corpse, so they returned to the first one.

"Doesn't your race have any image records of the Celestial and the Heavenly Emperor?" Lin Shen had no choice but to ask Tian Buluo after going around in circles.

"Billions of years is really too long; many things are lost in the river of history. We only have fragments and snippets left because our Celestial Race's civilization is relatively advanced and hasn't experienced any major interruptions," Tian Buluo explained.

"Could such an advanced civilization really have interruptions?" Lin Shen was confused. With the technological level of the Celestial Race, the media for storing resources shouldn't be so easily destroyed.

Tian Buluo laughed, "Hasn't your Human race experienced changes in dynasties, civil wars, historical revisions, and the denigration of previous dynasties?"

"Of course, that has happened," Lin Shen sighed. Not only had such things occurred, but they were also quite frequent.

"The Celestial Race's history is said to span ten billion years, but in reality, no one knows the exact number because of the numerous wars and interruptions in civilization that have occurred. Even within the Celestial Race, there are many different civilisations and races, such as the current families of An, Chi, and Tian. They simply adopted the surnames of different races from ancient times, but when it comes to lineage, the connections might not be significant," he continued.

Tian Buluo paused before continuing, "The Celestial and the Heavenly Emperor is too far removed from our times. It's only because places like the Celestial Star and the Silent Residence have been preserved, and skills like the Heavenly Heart Skill have spread throughout the universe, that his name is known. In fact, there are many Heavenly Emperors whose names, even we do not know, and there are even some famous ones about whose existence we are uncertain."

"If it's from such a distant era, how could wooden structures like the Silent Residence be preserved for so long?" Lin Shen expressed his confusion.

"Haven't you noticed? The Celestial Star is different from other planets; almost no new life grows here, and things here rarely corrode," Tian Buluo said.

"Now that you mention it, that does seem to be the case," Lin Shen recalled. He had stayed on the Celestial Star for three months, and the scenery near the Silent Residence seemed to have undergone no change.

Given the abundant energy of the Celestial Star, plants should be overgrowing, yet the plants near the Silent Residence were the same when he arrived and when he left.

"Could it be that the Celestial Star has the effect of stopping time or slowing the flow of time?" Lin Shen thought, but then he felt it was wrong. If it were a matter of time stopping or slowing down, the time there should be different from the outside world, which was not the case with the Celestial Star.

"Although I don't know why the Celestial Star has such an effect, the reason why generations of Heavenly Emperors chose this place as their practicing ground and final resting place is not just because of the planet's abundant energy. The main reason is that it delays the aging process, and after death, the corpse can remain unchanged for many years," Tian Buluo said.

"So, is this the Celestial and the Heavenly Emperor or not?" Lin Shen sighed.

"In theory, it should be, since that's what's recorded. But with the vast expanse of time, who can guarantee that nothing happened in between? For instance, someone might have come here to explore the ancient times, or perhaps a Heavenly Emperor or a Prince came here on a whim, just like us," Tian Buluo felt helpless: "The key issue is that there's no trace of the aura of the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill on this corpse. The Silent Residence, as the abode and place of enlightenment of the Celestial and the Heavenly Emperor, has such a strong aura. If this were his corpse, how could there be no aura at all?"

"Then it's not the Celestial and the Heavenly Emperor," Lin Shen thought, and then he felt that he might have the chance to obtain the Fire Seed from the corpse.

If it were the corpse of the Celestial and the Heavenly Emperor, the Celestial Race would definitely not let anyone touch him, and there would be no chance for him to get it.

If not, there might be a chance to remove the corpse, and then his opportunity would come.

Right now, it was impossible to take a nap with the corpse; the burning incense in his hand had limited time. He didn't even have enough time for a quick nap.

"It's not necessarily so, let me study it in detail first," Tian Buluo said as he seemed hesitant and embarrassed, "If only I knew to bring sister Qing Yu over. It's not quite right for me, a junior, to rummage through the clothes of a female senior's corpse."

Lin Shen was startled when he heard this, "It's a female corpse? Could it be that the Celestial and the Heavenly Emperor was actually a female Celestial? If it's of a female, then the chance that the Fire Seed on this corpse is the Heaven Defying Bone is much greater."

Tian Buluo hesitated for a moment but then decided to proceed. Before doing anything, he solemnly bowed to the corpse and then cleared the snow from behind the body.

"That's not right… This is not the corpse of the Celestial and the Heavenly Emperor…" Tian Buluo suddenly stopped his hand and called out.

"What's wrong? Did you find something?" Lin Shen hurriedly asked.

"Don't you see? This body has no wings; how could it possibly be the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Race without wings? Even if historical records are unreliable, it's impossible for one of the Other Races to become the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Race," Tian Buluo pointed out, looking at the corpse.

"Is it possible that the wings were damaged?" Lin Shen really couldn't see what was the actual situation with the corpse; it was too thoroughly pixelated.

"Of course, damage is possible, but the way her spine is structured, it's clearly not like a Celestial's…" Tian Buluo pointed at the corpse's back.

"Then who is she? How did she end up here? Can you tell who she is from her clothes and possessions?" Lin Shen could not see anything, so he could only keep asking.

"Let me see." Now that it was not the corpse of a Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Race, Tian Buluo's psychological pressure was much relieved, and he reached into her clothing pockets.
