Angel Nebula, Merlot Heavenly Court.
Watching the comments scrolling across the Ranking System, Keisha took a sip of tea and said to Hexi, "That pervert, Death God Karl, is quite skilled at shifting trouble onto others!"
With Keisha's insight, she could naturally see exactly what Death God Karl was trying to do.
It was precisely because she understood Karl's intentions that Keisha said he was trying to shift the trouble elsewhere!
After all, before the Ranking System's rewards appeared, nearly everyone in the entire Super God Universe had been focused on the Nether River Civilization and the Demon Civilization!
But after Death God Karl pulled this stunt, she, Keisha—and even the entire Angel Civilization—had completely become targets for everyone in the Super God Universe!
Hearing Keisha's words, Hexi beside her understood what she meant.
Hexi continued, "It can't be helped. After all, Karl's Void theory is fundamentally incompatible with your Order of Justice."
"So whenever he gets the chance, Death God Karl will definitely kick you while you're down!"
"And haven't we been prepared for this all along?"
"Yes!" Keisha nodded and said in agreement to Hexi, "I'm not surprised in the slightest that Death God Karl would do something like this!"
"After all, evil always reeks of death!"
As she spoke, Keisha moved her fingers and pushed the three balls of light before her toward Hexi.
"These are the rewards Angel Civilization received this time. The ball on the left contains the 'Star Spirit Level Super Computing Engine,' the one in the middle contains the 'Six-Winged Seraph Gene,' and the ball on the far right contains the 'Improved Plan for Sky Blade Judgment.'"
As Keisha listed the items inside the balls of light one by one, Hexi was completely baffled.
She did not understand why Keisha was giving these three rewards to her.
Was she testing her?
Impossible!
The bond between them had long surpassed friendship. They were comrades who could live and die together!
Thus, with confusion in her voice, Hexi asked Keisha, "Old Goblin, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing Hexi's puzzled expression, Keisha paused before speaking. "I hope you'll be the one to open the Star Spirit Level Super Computing Engine and the Improved Plan for Sky Blade Judgment."
"Because both of these rewards are practically one-use items. Once I open them, they'll bind to me."
"So I need you to open these two rewards."
Hearing that, Hexi became even more confused. She did not understand why Keisha insisted on having her open those two rewards.
Emotionally speaking, although Hexi had contributed greatly to Angel City, she was not a qualified ruler and had no reason to receive rewards from the Ranking System.
Logically speaking, although Hexi had once been the Heavenly King, Keisha now clearly held a higher position, giving Hexi even less reason to receive the Ranking System's rewards.
Facing Hexi's dumbfounded expression, Keisha smiled almost imperceptibly before slowly saying, "Once this Ranking System ends, I'll have to go to Earth!"
"You should know Earth's situation. It can practically be called a Gods' Melee!"
"Even with my current strength, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to return safely to Angel Nebula from Earth."
"So I hope you'll safeguard these rewards. Otherwise, if I fall in battle, these rewards will disappear from the universe along with me!"
"Besides, Yan is still too young, and Anixid has yet to mature. In all of Angel City, you are the only one left who can shoulder this responsibility!"
Hearing Keisha's reasons, Hexi lightly bit her lip and said, "Do you have to place the entire burden of Angel Civilization on me?"
"Don't tell me you haven't considered other backup plans!"
"You should know that I'm not suited to be a ruler. Can you really trust me with the entire Angel Civilization?"
Keisha shook her head. "Actually, you should understand that this trip to Earth is no longer something you and I can decide for ourselves!"
"Rather than passively entering the Battleground of the Gods, I might as well lead the high-ranking angels there sooner and secure some advantage in terrain."
Faced with Keisha's words, Hexi sighed.
Because she knew Keisha was right. The War of the Gods on Earth was imminent!
Angel Civilization could not possibly remain uninvolved!
That was why Keisha intended to go to Earth herself, to find Angel Civilization a path to survival on the Battleground of the Gods.
At that thought, Hexi slowly raised her head and stared into Keisha's eyes. In a somewhat crazed voice, she said, "Want to take a gamble?"
"Hm?" Seeing the madness in Hexi's eyes, Keisha frowned. She did not know what Hexi meant by taking a gamble.
Seeing that Keisha did not understand, Hexi continued, "Do you remember the Second Reward issued by the Ranking System?"
"You mean the Six-Winged Seraph Gene?" Keisha asked suspiciously.
"That's right!" Hexi nodded. "You should know that I've recently been researching the Fifth-Generation God Body."
"But no matter what methods I use or what approaches I try, I ultimately can't upgrade our angel bodies to the level of a Fifth-Generation God Body!"
"So I theorized that angels' underlying genes may only be capable of supporting an upgrade to the Fourth-Generation God Body at most!"
"If we forcibly upgrade to a Fifth-Generation God Body, it will cause the complete collapse of our underlying genes!"
"I've been thinking about how to let angels' underlying genes break past their limits and become capable of supporting our bodies' upgrade to a Fifth-Generation God Body!"
"Now, I think I may have found a way to break through the limits of our angels' underlying genes!"
Hearing this, Keisha finally understood what Hexi was trying to do!
What Hexi meant, both overtly and implicitly, was simply that she wanted Keisha to use the "Six-Winged Seraph Gene" to replace her own angel genes!
Then, with the "Six-Winged Seraph Gene," Keisha might have a chance of successfully advancing to a Fifth-Generation God Body!
As long as Keisha could advance to a Fifth-Generation God Body, once Earth became the Battleground of the Gods, Angel Civilization would still be able to maintain its position above all others!
But this idea was equally fraught with danger!
After all, Hexi had no idea whether the underlying genes of the "Six-Winged Seraph" could support Keisha's body and allow her to successfully advance to a Fifth-Generation God Body!
That was precisely why Hexi had called it a gamble!
If they won, Angel Civilization could continue to stand above all else!
If they lost, not only would Keisha die, but even the entire Angel Civilization would have no idea where it would ultimately end up!
