Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

After the Nirvana Being from the Metichi Family, Digi, arrived at the Giant Ring Star, he immediately learned about Cosimo's disappearance from the family members.

This gave Digi a very bad premonition, and he sought an audience with Tian Xun at once.

"Star Lord, why haven't I seen Cosimo?" Digi stared at Tian Xun and asked.

"Are you questioning me?" Tian Xun, seated in the place of honor, looked coldly at Digi and said.

"Do not misunderstand, Star Lord, I am just worried about Cosimo…" Digi pressed down his anger and said.

"You need not worry about him anymore, I've already turned him to dust," Tian Xun said, as if speaking of a trivial matter.

"You killed Cosimo…" Digi's eyes widened, hardly believing his own ears.

"Can I not kill him?" Tian Xun looked coldly at Digi, still speaking nonchalantly.

"Tian Xun, you know what Cosimo means to our Metichi Family—he is our hope and future. Why did you have to kill him? You must give our Metichi Family an explanation!" Digi's anger could no longer be concealed as he slammed the table and rose, staring intently at Tian Xun.

Smack!

Tian Xun slapped Digi across the face. Digi didn't even have time to react; he staggered, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Tian Xun sat in the seat of honor, as if he had never moved at all.

"Is this explanation enough for you? If not, let Qiao Ke come personally. I really want to see what kind of explanation your Metichi Family is after," Tian Xun said coolly.

Digi's complexion turned hideously dark, flushed with the color of liver, yet he still insisted strongly, "Our Metichi Family has been loyally devoted to you, risking life and limb in your service. At a single word from you, through mountains of swords and seas of flames, regardless of the excruciating price, no matter how many have died, our Metichi Family has never failed you.

Now, the hope and future of the Metichi Family has been executed by your own hand. Don't you owe us an explanation?"

"Fine, you want an explanation, do you? Starting today, the Metichi Family no longer has anything to do with me, Tian Xun. You are free to seek vengeance for Cosimo at any time. Are you satisfied with this explanation?" Tian Xun said coldly.

Yet it was this simple sentence that caused a drastic change in Digi's expression.

The Celestial Race is a race that places tremendous value on lineage; without the bloodline of the Celestial Race, one cannot enter its upper echelons.

The strength of the Metichi Family was not enough to garner the attention of the true Celestial elite; that's why they chose to support the half-blood Tian Xun.

It wasn't that they did not want to choose a stronger Pureblood Celestial, but rather that those individuals simply did not regard the Metichi Family at all.

If Tian Xun were to break with the Metichi Family, within the protective and highly united Celestial Race, it's likely no high-ranking officials would use the Metichi Family again.

Tian Xun was their foothold within the Celestial Race. Should Tian Xun completely abandon the Metichi Family, despite their considerable strength, they would find it difficult to maintain a position within the Celestial Race.

The Metichi Family's hundred years of operations within the Celestial Race could vanish in a puff of smoke, and finding a new place to stand in the universe is by no means an easy task.

Originally, Di Qi thought that Tian Xun's current situation was not very good, and since the Metichi Family was one of her most important strategic partners, she presumably wouldn't abandon the Metichi Family easily.

However, looking at Tian Xun's intent, it seemed she really intended to give up on the Metichi Family, a consequence he could not bear.

"Lord Tian Xun, you've misunderstood. The Metichi Family is absolutely loyal to you, without a second heart, and will certainly not betray you..." Di Qi quickly stood up to apologize, his attitude no longer as confrontational as before.

"Have I been too indulgent with your Metichi Family these past few years, to the point where you've forgotten who the real master is?" Tian Xun said coldly to Di Qi, "Go back and tell Qiao Ke that I only need loyal warriors and partners, not dogs that seek to climb onto their master's head."

"Lord Tian Xun..."

Di Qi wanted to say more, but he was immediately cut off by Tian Xun, "Get lost."

Di Qi didn't dare say anything more, took his leave respectfully from the reception hall, and immediately went to find his family members on Giant Ring Star to ask what exactly Cosimo had done recently.

Soon Di Qi learned about Cosimo's visit to Lin Shen and the fact that Lin Shen had moved into Paradise Palace.

Di Qi roughly guessed the whole story; the Metichi Family had always hoped to form a matrimonial alliance with Tian Xun, to truly integrate the Metichi Family into the Celestial Race, which was why they had Cosimo, the most outstanding young member of the Metichi Family, get close to Tian Xun.

But now it seemed that Tian Xun had never thought of forming such an alliance with the Metichi Family.

In Di Qi's view, Lin Shen was nothing more than a pretext used by Tian Xun to kill Cosimo and to warn the Metichi Family.

Tian Xun didn't even regard Cosimo highly, let alone Lin Shen, and he couldn't imagine that Lin Shen, a Mutator, could kill Cosimo, who had achieved the Ninth Turn Ascension.

Di Qi felt a chill in his heart and immediately left Giant Ring Star to rush back to the Metichi Family; he had to inform Family Head Qiao Ke of this matter as quickly as possible.

If Tian Xun really gave up on the Metichi Family because of this incident, the situation for the Metichi Family would become extremely difficult.

"A half-breed mongrel, he has gone too far!" Upon hearing Di Qi's report, Qiao Ke crushed the object he had been toying with for many years in his hand.

"Family Head, shall we break with Tian Xun?" Di Qi asked in concern.

Qiao Ke sighed deeply, "It's not yet the right time. We still need to rely on Tian Xun to establish ourselves within the Celestial Court. I was too impatient. I originally thought that given Tian Xun's current difficult situation, without our support, she would hardly be able to stand in the Celestial Court.

I didn't expect her to be so resolute, preferring to give up her seat within the Celestial Court rather than give us a chance. It is my fault; I overestimated Tian Xun. After all, she is a woman. She's too emotional. I didn't anticipate she would take this step.

It was I who harmed Cosimo that child and caused Tian Xun to develop a grudge against our Metichi Family, and our situation will become very difficult in the future."

"I will go and apologize to Tian Xun," Di Qi said through gritted teeth.

"No, that's not enough. I'll make the trip myself. Only in this way can we truly eliminate the grudge between us and Tian Xun," Qiao Ke said.

"How can that be? You are the head of our Metichi Family. Everyone else can bow their heads, but not you. We would rather all die fighting than see you disgraced..." Di Qi was alarmed.

"There's nothing unacceptable about it. To endure for a time brings peace, to step back opens up a wide vista. Di Qi, you must remember, the moment our Metichi Family stepped out from our homeworld, our only goal was to carve out our own territory and become kings.

To achieve this goal, everything can be sacrificed, myself included..." Qiao Ke looked up at the starry sky with arms outstretched as if to embrace the entire universe: "The Metichi Family is not yet strong enough; we still need to endure. I have made one mistake, and I absolutely cannot afford to make a second. Cosimo is dead, but Great Cosimo is still there; the Metichi Family still has hope.

We need to pave the way for the younger generations, even if we have to build bridges with our own dignity and flesh and blood, to help them ascend. If this road is not yet complete by the time I fall, my brother, I ask that you too become a bridge to aid them in reaching the pinnacle of the universe.

If one generation doesn't succeed, then two generations; if two generations don't succeed, then ten; if ten don't, then a hundred. I believe that one day, the name of the Metichi Family will shine throughout the universe."
