Chapter 333 : 333: Meidu Goddess Ascension Egg
When An Zhifeng returned, his demeanor and tone had improved a great deal. He directly had someone reactivate the teleporter to Giant Ring Star, and watched as the three individuals entered the teleporter headed for Giant Ring Star.
After Lin Shen and his companions returned to Giant Ring Star, Lin Shen also breathed a sigh of relief.
If they had been taken to the Star Lord's Mansion, it would have been nearly impossible to leave without handing over the Ascension Egg.
Even if they had surrendered it, whether they could have left alive was an unknown.
Fortunately, Tian Xun's reputation was influential enough, and the three had narrowly escaped that calamity.
"Being in the underworld, it's really good to have backing." Lin Shen felt grateful for Tian Xun's help and thought of the Fire Seed she possessed—if it hadn't been for the trouble Ye Ya caused, he would have acquired it by now.
"Yun, what Attribute does this Ascension Egg have?" On the way back to Paradise Island with Evil Dragon, carrying Yun and Wei, Lin Shen asked Yun.
Because Bart was present earlier, Lin Shen had not asked Yun this question.
Bart had mentioned that one could see the Attribute of the Primeval Eggs upon acquiring them, which is how Bart knew the Attribute of his own Ascension Egg.
Yun replied, "This Ascension Egg is called Meidu Goddess. Its level name is a bit strange, called Super-Base Creature; it possesses three Base Change Talents and two Life Bases..."
Both Lin Shen and Wei were surprised after hearing the detailed Attributes Yun described.
"Are you certain it has two Life Bases, not two Base Talents?" Lin Shen asked.
After some thought, Yun answered, "I remember it clearly, there's no mistake. It's not Base Talents, but indeed two Life Bases, each with its own Base Talent."
The more Lin Shen heard, the more astonished he felt. Yun's luck was simply too good, having acquired such an Ascension Egg.
Now Lin Shen wondered if using this Ascension Egg to ascend would directly grant him a Double Life Base.
Unfortunately, according to Yun's description, the Meidu Goddess's three Base Change Talents and two Base Talents were mostly supportive skills, not the kind of abilities Lin Shen desired.
"You have such good fortune, do you plan to hatch her, or use her for Ascension?" Lin Shen asked Yun.
But Yun responded, "I was just following your orders to retrieve something, the item is yours. If you wish to reward me, some Mutation Fluid will suffice."
"Are you really willing to give it up? Do you know what this means?" Lin Shen asked Yun, looking at her somewhat curiously.
"I know this is an extremely fine Ascension Egg, but it was never mine to begin with, and I don't have the ability to keep it. Only by following you can I go further. The stronger you are, the safer I am," Yun said.
"What a good girl!" Lin Shen was moved internally.
If he could use it, he would not hesitate to ascend with the Meidu Goddess egg.
Regrettably, even though the Meidu Goddess was excellent, it was not the kind of Ascension Egg he was looking for.
Both his elder sister and Wei had already ascended, making the Ascension Egg equally useless for them—it could only serve as a pet.
Now Lin Shen was considering whether to use this Ascension Egg to allow Jiweis or Death Powder to ascend.
But upon further thought, the Meidu Goddess, with all its supportive skills, didn't seem quite right for them either.
The more he considered it, the more it seemed that the person most suited for the Meidu Goddess was Yun herself.
"No wonder she was able to get the Meidu Goddess Ascension Egg; it must have been tailor-made for her." Lin Shen finally decided to give the Meidu Goddess Ascension Egg back to Yun when she was ready to ascend, allowing her to use this egg for her Ascension.
"Having an assistant like this by my side wouldn't be too bad," Lin Shen had already planned to have Yun act as his family tutor, helping him practice martial arts, which would indeed be making full use of her abilities.
After the three of them returned to Paradise Island, Lin Shen arranged for Yun to stay in the guest room, first providing her with some Mutation Base Mutation Fluid to help her recover and increase her level, and later he would assign her to practice martial skills.
Lin Shen had just lain down on the bed, wanting to rest for a while, when a message suddenly came through.
This gave Lin Shen a start, as he thought it was from Red Heart A, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was the newly purchased communication device that was ringing. The message was from Bart, inquiring whether they had left Meidu Star safely.
Lin Shen chatted with him for a while, then he inquired how Bart got to know Zhengzong, covertly probing for information.
To Lin Shen's surprise, Bart actually said that Zhengzong worked under a member of the Di Man Tribe named Sam, holding a high position and enjoying Sam's great respect.
The information from Bart made Lin Shen waver in his previous certainty that Zhengzong was his third brother, Lin Zongzheng.
If Zhengzong was really his third brother, why would he work under the Di Man royal family?
Since he held a position of power within the Di Man Tribe, he should be aware of the Di Man princess's use of the Wan Family to target his siblings. Why would he remain unresponsive?
If it were really his third brother, he definitely wouldn't have ignored the situation. Even if he lacked the power to stop the princess, he should have done something.
Bart continued sharing his story with Zhengzong. There was a time when he was being pursued and nearly killed, but Zhengzong saved him and gave him guidance on how to cultivate.
To Bart, Zhengzong was both a mentor and a friend. Without Zhengzong's guidance, he wouldn't have achieved what he had today.
From Bart's descriptions, Zhengzong sounded like a perfect person, understanding like a friend, yet knowledgeable and dignified like a teacher.
It was less that he was a friend to Bart and more that Bart held him in extremely high regard.
Lin Shen was becoming impatient with listening further because, in his memory, his third brother was someone who disliked meddling in other people's business and was not fond of interacting with others, let alone patient enough to teach.
He would rather fish, take photos, and drink tea by himself than take the time to teach Lin Shen anything.
The more Lin Shen listened, the more he doubted Zhengzong was his third brother. Perhaps the man only bore a resemblance in appearance and certain characteristics.
"There was a time when I heard Zhengzong mention he had a brother who was killed by a very powerful person, but he wouldn't tell me who it was, saying my abilities were too weak to be of any help. Since you're relatives, do you know which Other Race killed his brother? Tell me, and when I increase my level in the future, I'll help him kill that person,"
Bart's new message made Lin Shen's heart skip a beat.
"Did Zhengzong mention which number his deceased brother was among the siblings?" Lin Shen hurriedly asked.
"He didn't say, and I don't know either. Did he have many brothers?" Bart replied.
"Hmm, I don't know which one you're talking about, and I haven't heard any news about his brother being killed. After all, we are just distant relatives; we met more as children, but since he left the mother star, there hasn't been much contact in recent years," Lin Shen responded.
Lin Shen felt something odd inside him: "If Zhengzong really is my third brother, then the brother he mentioned who was killed by someone could it be my second brother? Could it be that my second brother is truly dead?"
"If that's the case, it would make sense. My third brother changed his name and sought refuge with the Di Man Tribe, probably to avenge my second brother without revealing his identity. If we assume this, the person who killed my second brother must be within the Di Man Tribe."
"According to Bart, my third brother holds a significant position within the Di Man Tribe, yet he is still unable to avenge my second brother, indicating that the murderer must be incredibly powerful..."
Unfortunately, Bart did not have Zhengzong's communication details, and one could only meet Zhengzong by going to the Di Man Tribe.
All of this was just Lin Shen's speculation; whether Zhengzong was actually his third brother, he could only know after meeting him in person. However, he currently did not dare to approach the Di Man Tribe.
"I should first increase my level. If things are as I suspect, with my current power, I can't be of any help to my third brother, and finding him would be pointless," Lin Shen decided he needed to use the Primeval Eggs to Ascend immediately, without any more wasted time.
