Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

"Is this your team?" Tian Buluo asked as he looked at the thousands of Ascenders in the sky.

"Yes, are you interested in joining my team?" Lin Shen said with a smile.

"I'd be delighted," Tian Buluo readily agreed, not even asking how the points would be divided.

Lang and the others were stunned. They had previously thought that Lin Shen was just someone with strong team abilities, a nimble mind, good at socializing and negotiating, and a lucky guy with a rare Weakening Skill.

In the end, he was just someone from a small tribe with no background, who could only stir up a little trouble in the special circumstances of the Planet Battlefield, and who would be nothing after leaving the battlefield.

But now they suddenly found that this man seemed different from what they had imagined. Even Tian Buluo, the Prince of the Celestial Race, seemed to obey him without question, agreeing to join his team without asking anything, almost as if joining his team was a privilege.

They were now somewhat glad that they had followed Lin Shen from the beginning.

Lin Shen was aware that Tian Buluo was participating in the battle purely to defeat Di Esi, and points meant nothing to him. Even if those were not given to him, he wouldn't care.

Nevertheless, Lin Shen still clearly explained the rules of the team to Tian Buluo. Even if Tian Buluo himself didn't want the points, those Celestial Ascenders following him still needed them.

Tian Buluo had no objections, and naturally, neither did the Celestial Ascenders following him.

Seeing the Prince Tian Buluo fall in line with whatever Lin Shen arranged, Lang and the others finally realized what was going on.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"No wonder the boss dared to snatch Ascenders from the major tribes; he has such a deep foundation!" Lang and the others had their eyes spinning, planning God-knows-what in their minds.

With Tian Buluo and his cohort joining, Lin Shen's thousand-strong team became even more frenzied, robbing from the rich to aid the poor.

Even with a Celestial Race Prince in their ranks, Lang and his companions had nothing to fear any longer. With just one command from Lin Shen, thousands of Ascenders would strike wherever directed, without the slightest hesitation.

It wasn't long before the team's numbers surpassed ten thousand.

This time, Lin Shen split off ten thousand and instructed a well-known Celestial Ascender to lead a team to develop freely.

Lin Shen's original intent was simply that there were too many people and not enough significant points to be earned to sustain so many Ascenders, but he never anticipated that events would take a turn beyond his expectations.

In the past, there had never been someone like Lin Shen. Even if someone gathered Ascenders to form a team, they mostly just recruited Ascenders of their own tribe, or at most, added some with whom they shared a connection.

Even those who did recruit Ascenders from various tribes centered the operation around themselves, never considering distributing power.

Lin Shen amassed power and then decentralized it, sharing the profits – such practices were unheard of previously, at least not on any significant scale.

But this time was different. After Lin Shen established a model, the teams that split off followed suit.

Unable to manage so many people, teams that grew quickly after splitting off encountered the same dilemma. Consequently, they replicated Lin Shen's approach and split their own teams further.

The snowballing method was truly accelerating too fast. In just over a day, more and more teams appeared on the Ascension Level Planet Battlefield. One team split into ten, ten into a hundred—team numbers were exploding exponentially.

Many powerful members of the large tribes who had been robbed learned this tactic and began to form their own teams.

When the teams they formed encountered teams that had split off from Lin Shen's group, they would hear the other side shouting something like "The sky is vast, the field endless, I've lived a life utmost wild and reckless."

At first, they thought those people were just too arrogant. After a few encounters, they realized that as long as they shouted those few lines, the other side would treat them as their own and peacefully go their separate ways.

Consequently, these lines were also learned by them. Upon meeting a large force, they'd exchange those lines, and then everyone left each other alone, each going off to look for lone or small groups to rob.

The whole Ascension Level Planet Battlefield was like it had been infected by a viral plague—countless teams sprung up. Lone Ascenders, even those who were top fighters, found it difficult to stand against thousands of ascender teams; they were either robbed or forced to join a team, or they formed their own team.

So, on the Ascension Level Planet Battlefield, a situation unobserved for hundreds of years unfurled.

Numerous teams wildly absorbed scattered Ascenders on the planet. The number of teams grew and the solitary Ascenders dwindled.

"Interesting... this is really too interesting... I suppose even the instigator hadn't anticipated such a scenario," Catherine said, her laughter ringing with sheer delight. "At this rate, we'll soon witness battles among tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of Ascenders—a spectacle never seen before in the ranking battles of the races."

"Could such a scenario truly occur?" Tia asked in astonishment.

"Big fish eat little fish, and little fish eat shrimps. When both shrimps and little fish are gone, it becomes a fight among the big fish to see who can grow larger. Too bad the elimination phase is so short, just three days. If we had a longer timeline, we might even see battles involving billions of Ascenders," Catherine said, her eyes shining brighter. "The guy who triggered all this is really incredible, I wonder if it was intentional or accidental."

"With his own strength, he has thrown the entire Ascension Level Planet Battlefield into chaos; that young fellow has quite the knack for stirring trouble," the Heavenly Emperor mused, eyes narrowed as he watched the unfolding developments on the Ascension Level Planet Battlefield, eager to know what the final situation would be like.

If a chaotic battle involving hundreds of billions of Ascenders were truly incited, it would be an absolutely cataclysmic disaster.

An Rong said nothing beside him; there was no longer any need for her to fan the flames.

Should such a tremendous war break out, countless Ascenders would fall. No one knew how many Ascenders from the major tribes would perish inside. The tribes would have no choice but to retaliate. As the instigator, even the Heavenly Emperor might not be able to protect Tian.

Teams could still plunder small groups or solitary Ascenders for now, but once those solitary Ascenders decreased to a certain level, team-on-team absorptions would become inevitable and unstoppable.

Kristin of the Di Man Tribe strolled leisurely across the plains; he had already collected over a thousand points. Based on past experience, these points were enough for entering the ranking battles, so he was not in a hurry to rob more, simply waiting for other Ascenders to come to him.

Suddenly, Kristin saw many Ascenders appearing ahead of him.

Initially, Kristin was thrilled; a large amount of points meant a high initial ranking in the ranking battle, avoiding the trouble of fighting his way up slowly.

"What a bunch of kind-hearted people, coming to deliver points again," Kristin said, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

But quite soon, Kristin's smile froze on his face. More and more Ascenders appeared in the sky, blocking out the sun like a dark cloud—easily in the tens of thousands, and the number was still increasing.

"Fuck... what's going on..." Even as powerful as Kristin was, he couldn't withstand tens of thousands of Ascenders unleashing their Life Bases simultaneously.
