Lin Shen felt tempted, but upon further thought, he realized that the energy provided to him by his Super-Base Pattern in actual combat was already nearly sufficient. Moreover, it allowed him to constantly draw upon the World’s Force to replenish his body’s expenditure, without having to wait until his strength was exhausted. It was more convenient than Angel Rebirth, and he truly did not need another Angel Rebirth skill.

Of course, having that ability would be better, but it was not worth exchanging his Life Base for it.

“I still hope to ascend with the Ascension Egg I’ve prepared.” After some consideration, Lin Shen refused Tian Xun’s suggestion.

“You need to think this through. I don’t have time to wait for your ascension. Within three days, you must kill Cosimo. You have only this one chance. If you fail to kill Cosimo, you might not be able to protect yourself in the future.” Thinking Lin Shen was backing down, Tian Xun turned to leave.

“Who says I can’t kill Cosimo without ascending?” Lin Shen’s sudden question stopped Tian Xun from leaving.

“Who do you think you are? A Mutator killing a Ninth Turn Ascender? Di Esi wasn’t this presumptuous even at his Crystal Base Level.” Tian Xun found it somewhat laughable, looking at Lin Shen she said, “You might have killed a few trash Ascenders on humanity’s mother planet, and now you think killing Ascenders isn’t that hard. But those who have reached the Ninth Turn of Ascension are not there by chance. They are not beings a Mutator can contend with. Don’t kid yourself. Angel Rebirth combined with Twenty-Eight Fists is your only chance, and even that is just a chance. Whether you succeed or not will depend on how you execute it.”

“I don’t know who Di Esi is, and I know it’s hard to kill a Ninth Turn Ascender, but giving me a chance wouldn’t be a loss for you, right? If I kill Cosimo, you achieve your goal. If I am killed by Cosimo, you have an excuse to deal with him. Whether I succeed or fail, you still win. It’s just a matter of how much you win by.” Lin Shen’s words gave Tian Xun a slight pause.

She looked at Lin Shen as if he were mad.

“I’m now a bit curious about this Ascension Egg you’ve prepared. What is it that makes it worth risking your life for? No, it shouldn’t be called taking a risk, but rather a surefire death,” Tian Xun said as she looked at Lin Shen.

“There are still three days, it might be enough time. You could save a Mutated Ascension Egg that’s so rare and precious. However, you still need to provide the Base Mutation Liquid. If my friend can make it to the Giant Ring Star within three days, I might still have a chance to ascend,” Lin Shen said.

“Alright, if you can slay Cosimo with your Mutator status, you can skip that step. I’d make you my little lover on the spot,” Tian Xun said with a seductive smile, opening the door to the copilot’s seat. “Come on, you must use that high-grade Base Mutation Liquid Essence at my place. You also need to familiarize yourself with Cosimo’s information and my plan.”

Lin Shen boarded the flyer and once again arrived at Tian Xun’s palace-like building.

This time, the flyer that landed inside the building descended again; the ground turned out to be an elevator leading deep underground.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Sitting inside the flyer and looking through the skylight as the elevator continued to descend, Lin Shen estimated that he must now be tens of thousands of meters underground by the time the elevator stopped.

Tian Xun pushed the door open and walked out of the flyer, and Lin Shen also got out on the other side, only to see that outside the elevator was a cavern, half natural and half man-made.

In the cavern, there was a black pool filled with an extremely viscous black liquid that emitted heat and bubbles, resembling molten asphalt.

“Is this the Base Mutation Liquid Essence?” Lin Shen looked at the black liquid in the pool, asking with some uncertainty.

“Yes, this is a secret technique of the Celestial Race, referred to within the clan as the Base Mutation Pool. The material used in this pool consists entirely of Crystal Base Level mutated Base Mutation Liquid, specially treated to remove the impurities and retain the essence, with other ingredients added to significantly improve absorption and transformation efficiency. Two days is enough for your Base Mutation rate to increase to one hundred percent.”

“How do I use it? Do I just drink it?” Lin Shen looked at the pool of what seemed like “tar” and found it hard to imagine how he could possibly drink it down.

“There’s no need for that kind of hassle. Strip naked and jump in, simply soaking inside is enough, as this is the very essence of essences. Even skin contact is sufficient. If you were to drink it, a Mutator’s body might not be able to withstand it.” Tian Xun looked at Lin Shen and said, “You don’t have much time, what are you hesitating for? Get in the pool already.”

“Could you step outside for a moment, please?” Lin Shen hadn’t trained his skin to the extent that he could strip naked in front of an unfamiliar woman.

“I need to watch over you in case you have an accident and your body can’t handle it, so I can pull you out. Besides, time is pressing. After you enter the Base Mutation Pool, I have to brief you on Cosimo and other matters,” Tian Xun said, smilingly looking at Lin Shen, clearly without any intention of leaving.

“At the very least, could you please turn around? Can you face away from me until I get into the pool?” Lin Shen said with a wry smile.

“I’m a woman and I don’t mind, what are you fussing about, acting all shy?” Tian Xun said, but she still turned around, giving her back to Lin Shen.

Lin Shen squatted by the pool and dipped his finger into the Base Mutation Pool to test it. The temperature wasn’t as high as he had imagined; it was warm, but not enough to harm his body.

Just touching it with his finger let Lin Shen feel strands of strange energy conducting into his body, similar to the sensation after drinking Base Mutation Liquid but even purer. The Evolution Theory started to operate automatically.

Without further hesitation, Lin Shen stripped off his clothes and jumped directly into the Base Mutation Pool.

Soaking his whole body in the viscous black liquid, an enormous amount of pure energy penetrated into his body, and the Evolution Theory immediately began to operate wildly.

Tian Xun didn’t turn her head to look at Lin Shen but instead sat down on a nearby stone platform, her back still facing Lin Shen, and said, “Cosimo is quite a stunning figure among your humans. The Evolution Skill he practices is known as ‘Divine Emperor Skill,’ created by one of our Celestial Race’s exceptionally strong individuals. It begins at an extremely high level, with entry starting directly from the Crystal Base without any preliminary parts.”

Lin Shen knew why there was no preliminary part, as most children of the Celestial Race were born at the Crystal Base level and therefore didn’t need such a part. Their starting point was already at the Crystal Base.

“After obtaining the ‘Divine Emperor Skill,’ the Metichi Family spent many years researching, experimenting, and trying to complete it. Still, no one could master it until the emergence of Cosimo, who surprisingly managed to do so, which is quite a miracle indeed.”

Tian Xun continued, “To my knowledge, Cosimo’s unique abilities include Celestial Descent, Crown of the King, and Imperial Kill Fist. Celestial Descent is a skill that can enhance his attributes for a short duration, nearly doubling them for about ten seconds, and can be used once every 24 universal hours.”

“Crown of the King is a skill that increases the strength of his carapace. After using Crown of the King, it would be difficult for strength of the same level to break through his carapace. This lasts for about a minute and can also be used once every 24 universal hours.”

“Imperial Kill Fist enhances strength to a certain degree, but that’s not important. Even if his strength isn’t increased, you still won’t survive his attack. What you should watch out for is that Imperial Kill Fist inflicts tearing damage. With the strength of your body and carapace, I’m afraid just one punch from him could tear your body and carapace apart.”
