Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution-Chapter 1229: Nirvana Again

In an instant, all the afterimages vanished, leaving only Lin Shen’s figure at the center.

Lin Shen merely stood there, but Catherine felt as if multiple shadows were swaying back and forth.

This was not her illusion; although Lin Shen stood motionless, the oscillation frequency of his body had reached an unimaginable level, making the whole person appear blurry, as if countless silhouettes overlapped together.

Lin Shen seemed to stand there unmoving, but the energy emanating from him was already at a terrifying level; even mere vibrational force from his body could destroy a star river.

"Such strength has far exceeded the upper ranks. Even ultimate creatures of the upper rank may find it difficult to compare. Is he about to directly ascend to the emperor level?" Catherine was both astonished and delighted.

If Lin Shen could ascend to the emperor level, she only needed to follow him, what could the God-making Race do to her then?

The current Clan Leader of the God-making Race claims to be comparable to an emperor-level existence, but it’s merely a claim; whether he can truly match a Great Emperor, no one knows.

While Catherine was imagining the future, she suddenly saw starlight rising from Lin Shen’s body.

No, that wasn’t starlight, but energy particles—those particles were extremely tiny, normally invisible to human eyes.

But now they were emitting brilliant light, appearing as tiny stars drifting out from Lin Shen’s body, transforming into meteors, revolving around him.

The items Lin Shen carried scattered out, his body slowly disintegrating, transforming into countless stars revolving around him.

In an instant, Catherine could no longer see Lin Shen’s form; she could only see a cosmos.

The particles drifting off Lin Shen’s body were entwining and spinning with each other as if they were countless star systems. Those star systems further intertwined, resembling star clusters, galactic clouds, ultimately all revolving with Lin Shen’s position as the center.

Catherine’s body trembled somewhat; she sensed an overwhelming energy within that cosmic glow, seemingly as unfathomable as the true cosmos.

The entanglement and transformation among those particles seemed infinite, looking extremely similar to the movement of actual celestial bodies; it was virtually a condensed version of a little universe.

As more particles emerged, their arrangement grew tighter, until no gap was visible—like a chaotic mass, resembling a giant sphere of starlight.

Calling it a sphere was somewhat inaccurate, for this chaos body composed of particles wasn’t perfectly round—it was slightly flattened.

"Why does it look like a cocoon... a cocoon..." Catherine suddenly realized something, her eyes widened in incredulity.

"No... it can’t be..." Catherine denied her own thought.

For in her view, this thing now looked just like a Nirvana Cocoon. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Divine beings did not form such things during rank ascension; only during nirvana could a Nirvana Cocoon be condensed.

But with Lin Shen’s level of power, how could he still be at the Nirvana Level?

Thus, Catherine directly dismissed her judgment; she’d rather believe she was mistaken than trust Lin Shen remained at the Nirvana Level.

Yet the more she looked, the more this thing resembled a Nirvana Cocoon.

"Surely it merely resembles one. This must be something that appears when ascending to the emperor level, which I haven’t seen before—it’s just somewhat like a Nirvana Cocoon." Catherine found reasons to convince herself.

Within the Nirvana Cocoon, Lin Shen was undergoing a wondrous transformation.

Under normal circumstances, the energy within the Realm King Life-locking Stake, even if unable to push him to emperor level, should allow him to become a half-step emperor.

Yet for some unknown reason, this terrifying power didn’t elevate Lin Shen’s rank to the Immortal level.

His body was evolving, but his rank stayed motionless, as if a natural chasm blocked Lin Shen’s ascension path.

Lin Shen had always believed that his inability to ascend to the Immortal level was simply due to his poor talent—his body and comprehension weren’t adequate.

Later, Lin Shen suspected that his cultivation technique was the problem; it was difficult to progress in rank, requiring more effort and resources than average.

But now Lin Shen suddenly realized that his inability to ascend wasn’t his fault, but some power had obstructed his ascension path.

For Lin Shen saw in his mind the towering gate, along with the chains binding it and the Destiny Lock.

Under the enhancement of formidable energy, Lin Shen felt his body restless, yet unable to progress further. What puzzled him more was, amid this state, he sensed something belonging to him behind that gate, yearning to break free of restrictions and return to him.

Though he knew not what it was, Lin Shen felt it extraordinarily intimate, a bond unlike blood ties—it was a connection of shared destiny.

Lin Shen sensed that due to its absence, he remained unable to ascend to the Immortal level, perpetually stuck at the Nirvana Level.

"What’s in there..." Lin Shen wished to know what lay within, yet couldn’t shatter the gate or unlock the Destiny Lock.

Time and again, he attempted to employ power to break through the gate, but even such immense power couldn’t touch the gate.

The gate seemed to exist solely in his imagination, an untouchable entity, yet Lin Shen could clearly perceive it, could even sense something inside it.

This sensation frustrated Lin Shen nearly to the point of spitting blood but left him helpless.

Terrifying energy coursed within Lin Shen with no outlet, for without rank ascension, this energy prepared for elevation became futile.

Due to some obstruction of power, Lin Shen couldn’t ascend even to the Immortal level, much less the emperor level.

This terrifying strength repeatedly assaulted Lin Shen, almost threatening to collapse his body.

"If this path is blocked, then I’ll choose another. Unable to become Immortal, unable to ascend to emperor, then I’ll endlessly undergo Nirvana, evolving infinitely in the process, forging a new path..." Lin Shen’s mind shifted, reactivating the Three-Star System and three cultivation techniques, complemented by functions of the Three Realms Divine Skill, and began the process of Nirvana.

Vast energy diverged into innumerable possibilities—the Three-Star System gradually transformed into various star systems, star systems into star clusters, ultimately evolving into a little universe.

Lin Shen felt his body merge with the cosmos, becoming like flowers, grass, trees, stones, rivers, seas, hair, skin, like stars and seas, like cosmic radiation, like the firmament of heaven and earth, like wind, flowers, snow, and moon.

In that moment, Lin Shen felt as though he was an all-knowing and all-powerful being.
