Lin Shen, however, ignored Wei Wufu and continued as he walked over, "Aren't you curious why we came here?"

"I don't care why you came here." Tian Xin clearly wasn't buying it. His gun was still aimed at Wei Wufu, ready to fire immediately.

In his opinion, even a crippled Alloy Grade was a bigger threat than Lin Shen, who was only Steel Grade.

"Do you know there's a creature even more advanced than Mutated Creatures? If you kill him, you'll never know where that creature is," Lin Shen said, quickening his pace. Whether or not he could save Wei Wufu's life depended on Wei Wufu's own luck.

"What did you say?" Tian Xin actually stopped his finger. Although his gun was still pointed at Wei Wufu, his gaze shifted to Lin Shen.

"Looks like you know what I'm talking about, don't you?" Lin Shen said as he walked. It seemed like he was walking towards Wei Wufu, but in reality, Wei Wufu's position was within Seven Steps of Conflict of Tian Xin.

Tian Xin indeed didn't stop him and said coldly, "I don't know. I hope what you know can buy you a life."

"Above Mutated Creatures, there's a more advanced creature. You should know this, right?" Lin Shen said.

"That's just a legend. Don't tell me there's something like that legendary creature on this planet." Tian Xin said he didn't believe it, but he didn't seem to have any intention of shooting.

"If you don't believe it, then shoot." Lin Shen had already reached Wei Wufu's side, and he let out a long sigh of relief inwardly.

"Whether I believe it or not is my business. You explain yourself first," Tian Xin said.

"I can't explain it clearly," Lin Shen shook his head.

"Why can't you explain it clearly?" Tian Xin was puzzled.

"Because I can't make it up anymore," Lin Shen laughed.

"You're looking for death, you son of a bitch." Tian Xin felt insulted by Lin Shen. He didn't even bother with Wei Wufu anymore, turning his gun to aim at Lin Shen and pulling the trigger.

This was exactly the effect Lin Shen wanted. The moment Tian Xin's finger pulled the trigger, his speed suddenly increased to an unimaginable degree.

The firing rate of the Angel Revolver was 44, which was faster than Crystal Gene Level. And Lin Shen's current speed was even faster than 44, almost like a phantom.

Before Tian Xin's finger could fully pull the trigger, Lin Shen was already in front of him. Under Tian Xin's bewildered, surprised, disbelieving, and fearful gaze, Lin Shen's finger fiercely jabbed at him.

Tian Xin's body instantly froze there. The trigger, which had been pulled halfway, could no longer be pulled further.

"Impossible... A Steel Grade trash... How can he be so fast... Especially a barbaric and uncivilized trash race like humans..." Tian Xin felt his worldview and understanding were completely overturned.

It was an ironclad rule that Steel Grade couldn't be this fast. Let alone humans, who had only been in the universe for a short time, even races that had developed in the universe for billions of years couldn't break the barrier between levels.

What made it even harder for Tian Xin to understand was that although he was injured, his body's toughness was still there. What method did a Steel Grade use to make him unable to move with a single blow, and even make it difficult for him to speak?

Tian Xin looked at Lin Shen, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.

Wei Wufu's eyes were also a bit complex. He thought to himself, This person... is getting more and more outrageous...

Lin Shen didn't care what they were thinking. He slowly reached out and took the Pet Capsule gun from Tian Xin's hand.

In Lin Shen's opinion, Celestials without shell protection were much easier to deal with than Gene Mutation Creatures.

Tian Xin's physical toughness was very high. Alloy Grade weapons probably couldn't hurt him at all, but he was soft. The Seven Steps of Conflict ability worked on softness, not hardness. The harder something was, the harder it was to hit the pressure points. Soft things were easy to hit.

No matter how tough something was, even if it was impervious to swords and guns, if it was soft, a single touch could hit the pressure points.

Sometimes Lin Shen himself felt that the Seven Steps of Conflict ability was exactly like human nature. If your personality was strong enough, others would find it difficult to control you. If your personality was too weak, even if you were very capable, you would still be easily controlled. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong was human nature.

"Old Wei, do you know how to use this?" Lin Shen looked at the structure of the Pet Capsule pistol. It was very similar to a revolver, but also a bit different.

The white jade gun body, somewhat similar to the Tian Xin armor, was engraved with mysterious runes. Its design was exaggerated, or rather, ostentatious, possessing a beauty that blended retro and technology.

The gun's firing pin was shaped like a small angel's wing, looking very unique.

Lin Shen knew how to shoot a gun, but he didn't know how to open the cylinder. It was different from the guns he had seen. He wanted to see what Pet Capsules were inside.

"Yes," Wei Wufu nodded.

Lin Shen handed the gun to him. After Wei Wufu took the gun, he pressed a certain part of the gun body, then flicked it directly, and the cylinder swung out at an angle.

Wei Wufu took a look and then handed the gun back to Lin Shen.

Lin Shen took the gun and couldn't help but curse, "A poor guy, still putting on airs there, truly shameless."

The cylinder had seven chambers, each capable of holding one Pet Capsule. However, six of them were empty, and only one contained a Pet Capsule, which was clearly an Alloy Grade Pet Capsule.

"No wonder that guy didn't shoot. Turns out he could only fire one shot, and it might not even kill Wei Wufu." Lin Shen pushed the cylinder back in.

"Stock, key," Wei Wufu said again.

Lin Shen understood Wei Wufu's meaning. Imitating Wei Wufu, he also pressed the same spot on the gun body. Something similar to a magazine was pulled out from under the stock. It didn't contain bullets, but a key.

"This thing is quite cleverly designed," Lin Shen played with it for a while and completely understood how to use it. His heart was filled with pleasant surprise.

For others, this was a powerful tool for using pets. The key was the strength of the pets inside; the gun was just an accelerated launcher.

But for Lin Shen, having this thing would allow him to have speed even faster than the Crystal Gene Level.

However, Lin Shen still didn't understand where the energy for accelerating pet transformation and movement speed came from, or if it could be used continuously.

Lin Shen asked Wei Wufu, and Wei Wufu said he didn't know either. Humans couldn't build this thing; it was a product of alien technology. Only a few humans had this thing in their hands, mostly purchased from aliens or obtained through bartering.

Wei Wufu had encountered some Pet Capsule handguns before, but he only knew how to use them and didn't know much about their structure.

"Your name is Tian Xin, right? I'm giving you a chance now. Whether you can seize it depends on yourself." Lin Shen reached out and tapped Tian Xin again.

Tian Xin immediately regained his ability to speak. After a series of changes in his expression, he suddenly put on a smile and said, "Friend, you were right just now. I think we can cooperate for mutual benefit. Let's be friends."

"Next, you're not going to say that you know there's an existence above Mutated Creatures on this planet, are you?" Lin Shen curled his lip and said.

Tian Xin said seriously, "There really might be, but I can't be sure about this. I only know that a World King died on this planet. If we can find his relics, we can reach the heavens in one step. I came here through countless hardships and near-death experiences precisely to find the relics of that World King."

"World King?" Lin Shen looked at Tian Xin in confusion.

"Dividing the heavens as a realm, pointing to the earth as a king, ruling over thousands of stars, and holding the power of life and death over billions of races, that is a World King. Only the most powerful and invincible King in the universe is qualified to be titled a World King," Tian Xin said slowly.
