Superbase Evolution

Chapter 259: Waiting for the Right One

Lin Shen rode the evil dragon and flew in the star belt. Just as Tianxun said, humans can survive very comfortably in the star belt and breathe very smoothly, which is much more comfortable than inside the giant ring star.

The feeling of being in the star rings is very wonderful. The wonderful substance that makes up the star rings seems to be between water and air.

He could feel its slight resistance and viscosity, but there was no way to really grasp it. Breathing in it made his whole body warm and very comfortable. If there was a bed here, Lin Shen estimated that he would be able to fall asleep right away.

There are huge suspended islands everywhere, some as big as planets and some as small as real islands.

Each suspended island is covered with lush plants, which are colorful and beautiful.

The floating island that Tianxun pointed to was the largest one, covered with flowers and plants of various colors, like a huge sky garden.

What’s strange is that above the floating island, there is a distinct zone, like a long scar on the planet. No plants grow on it. It looks ugly and lifeless.

"There must be something fishy going on there, right? Could it be that taking this path would consume one's vitality and shorten one's lifespan, so Tianxun asked me to go with him?" Lin Shen had never really believed in Tianxun from the beginning, but he just didn't have enough strength to reject her.

He has the theory of evolution, so he is not too afraid of these special environments.

"Let's go down and take a look first." Lin Shen rode the evil dragon into the huge suspended island.

Unlike giant ring stars, the suspended islands are immersed in the rings and have no protection from the atmosphere.

Lin Shen easily entered the roundabout. His finger was always pressing the button on his watch. If there was any sign of trouble, he would be teleported to escape immediately.

As the distance got closer, Lin Shen could see more clearly that the ugly scar was actually a stone staircase in the mountains.

There are bare mountains on both sides of the stone steps, so it looks like that from high in the sky.

When I landed at the starting point of the stone steps, I immediately saw a lot of skeletons lying on both sides. The clothes on some of the skeletons were still intact. Many of the clothes were very advanced combat suits, much more advanced than the Super Burning Combat Suit.

Most of those skeletons have wing bones, so it is speculated that they should be from the Celestial Race.

There are quite a few spirit bases scattered around, of various kinds. Most of them are covered with thick dust, and their original appearance cannot be seen clearly.

Some of the skeletons were clearly not from the Celestial Race and had various strange features.

"It seems that it was not only the Celestials who surrounded and killed the Gatekeeper of Hell..." Lin Shen walked up the stone steps, occasionally looking down at the information on his watch.

His theoretical life limit has not changed, which means that he had thought too much before. At least this path will not consume his lifespan.

Since I didn't feel any discomfort in my body and the theory of evolution had not been activated, this path was surprisingly easy to follow.

Lin Shen was looking for the Sword of the Archangel as he walked. He hadn't found the sword yet, but the various skeletons and things he saw surprised him greatly.

Almost every short distance, he could see a lot of skeletons and broken spirit bases. At that time, he didn't know how many ascenders died here. He had only walked such a short distance, but he had seen no less than a thousand skeletons.

Tianxun, who was far away on another roundabout island, had been using the equipment on the aircraft to remotely monitor Lin Shen's every move.

"Fortunately, he didn't be greedy and take those spiritual bases. But this is not the real test yet. It should be coming soon. After seeing such things, can he still control his greed?" Tian Xun observed Lin Shen with interest.

She didn't care about Lin Shen's life or death. If Lin Shen died, she could find other humans to take it. After all, someone could get the Sword of Archangel back. As long as she was not greedy, it would not be a difficult task.

Under Tianxun's gaze, Lin Shen walked to a damaged section of stone steps. This section of stone steps was severely damaged, and almost no intact stone steps could be seen. The mountain walls on both sides collapsed in large areas, forming two huge pits on both sides.

There were also many fallen rocks on the stone steps, and Lin Shen could only climb up using his hands and feet.

The main problem was that he didn't know where the Sword of the Archangel was. Tianxun had also reminded him that after going up the stone steps, he could not use pets to fly, and it was best not to use other pets either.

Suddenly, Lin Shen discovered that there was a person sitting on a big rock in the pit next to him.

The reason why it was said to be a person rather than a skeleton was because that person had a complete shell on his body.

He was wearing a purple jade shell and sitting cross-legged on a large piece of stone, like an old monk in meditation, without a speck of dust on his body.

There was not a single scratch on his shell, and he didn't look like a dead person at all.

It’s a pity that the shell covers his entire body and his true face cannot be seen.

"Can a dead person still maintain a shell?" Lin Shen had never seen a dead person still able to maintain a shell, but judging from Tianxun's tone, there shouldn't be any living people here.

Suddenly, Lin Shen saw a purple egg between the man's hands.

Lin Shen had never seen an egg like that. The egg was like a deep small universe, with countless stars flowing inside, starlight flickering and disappearing, and countless galaxies rotating and speeding. It had an indescribable mystery.

Not knowing what creature’s eggs those were, Lin Shen just took a few glances at them and prepared to continue moving forward.

When his eyes glanced at the big rock under the man, Lin Shen stopped again.

There were actually a few lines of words engraved on the big stone, and they were the common human language that Lin Shen could understand.

"My friend the King of Slaughterers passed away here. The Nirvana Egg Devouring Divine Beast is left for those who are destined to take it. Non-humans should not take it, otherwise they will suffer misfortune."

"Oh my god, is that a Nirvana Egg?" Lin Shen widened his eyes in disbelief.

After staring at the egg of the God-Eating Beast for a long time, Lin Shen was really moved.

The value of the Nirvana Egg is simply unimaginable. The resources obtained from just this one are more than enough for Lin Shen to complete the tenth level of ascension. Moreover, it is written on it that non-humans are not allowed to take it.

After staring at the Nirvana Egg for a long time, Lin Shen took a deep breath, retracted his gaze and continued to climb.

"It's a good thing, but I'm afraid I won't live long enough to enjoy it." Lin Shen muttered to himself.

If the Nirvana Egg was really so easy to get, how could it be left here without being taken away by anyone?
The Celestials are not fools. It is not difficult for Tianxun to find thousands or tens of thousands of humans to come here. If they could take it away, it should have been taken away long ago.

The fact that it's still here just means that no one can take it away.

Lin Shen has always believed that life is more important than anything else. If he had not had the ability to refuse, he would not have agreed to Tianxun coming here to get the Sword of Archangel.

"You've been able to hold back on this. You have a pretty good character." Tian Xun was quite relieved to see that Lin Shen didn't touch the Nirvana Egg. At least it proved that she had a good vision and didn't choose the wrong person.

Just when they were feeling relieved, Lin Shen, who had not walked far, actually retreated back and stared at the body of the Butcher King.
