In Kunlun, in Jiang Zhen's courtyard, Jiang Zhen lay back in a recliner, his eyes closed as he continuously browsed everything that had happened in the Chat Group during this time.
However, what he did not know was that in Merlot Heavenly Court, Hexi and Kaisha were engaged in a fierce discussion.
"Hexi, are you sure Jiang Zhen really said that? That you spent more than a hundred years traveling outside and observing the course of those civilizations?"
Hexi wore a grave, earnest expression as she looked at Kaisha and said,
"Kaisha, perhaps our technology really was led astray by the Super God Academy. No, it should be said that it was led astray by Shenhe Science.
Back on Earth Star, after hearing what Jiang Zhen said, I initially did not think there was anything wrong with it!
But on the way back, the more I thought about it, the more something felt off. In the end, I came up with a method: personally observe several civilizations.
So during this period, I visited more than ten civilizations, including Stone Age, Iron Age, technological-age, and pre-nuclear civilizations.
But Kaisha, do you know what all those civilizations had in common? Diversity.
Their paths of development were diverse. Even among Stone Age tribes, every tribe was different.
By the time they reached the feudal dynasty era, even more variations began to emerge.
Those by the sea developed fishing, those on the mainland developed agriculture, and those on the Grassland developed animal husbandry.
Their styles of warfare were also vastly different. Those by the sea excelled at naval warfare, those on land were strongest in infantry combat, and those on the Grassland possessed formidable cavalry.
Later on, they began developing technology, advancing from their original muskets to cannons, then continuing to transform further.
Before reaching the pre-nuclear stage, they began researching Gene Technology, and its original purpose was longevity.
Once they attained longevity, they began continuously enhancing their Martial Prowess.
Afterward, they sought to vigorously develop weapons, and thus the beginnings of spacefaring civilizations emerged.
They also began trying to add all kinds of special genes into their genetic makeup.
Thunder, flames, frost, wind, and so on—countless different powers.
Weren't we Angels the same in the past?
But later, everything changed. Once those civilizations became spacefaring civilizations and entered the Universe,
the first things they learned about were Super Soldiers, divine bodies, and god-making civilizations.
So they began constantly studying god-making civilizations.
On all kinds of foundations, they began moving closer to our current Gene Technology, while the Gene Technology they had originally continued developing was directly abandoned.
As though the Gene Technology we use now were the only correct path?"
Kaisha blurted out upon hearing this,
"Isn't it?"
As soon as those words left her mouth, Kaisha froze. A few seconds later, her expression instantly darkened.
"Why is that?"
As she spoke, Kaisha was about to use the Sacred Knowledge Treasury.
But at that moment, Hexi spoke directly. "Kaisha, don't use the Knowledge Treasury. It's useless. This is a habit, not an error.
Moreover, the Sacred Knowledge Treasury itself was designed according to our own ideas. Although it possesses immense computational power, to a certain extent,
the Sacred Knowledge Treasury is something highly aligned with our own beliefs. So you won't be able to detect anything!"
As soon as those words were spoken, Kaisha fell silent.
At that moment, Hexi sighed and continued,
"After discovering this, I realized how serious the problem was.
Especially after Shenhe civilization, all beings similar to us were called Shenhe Bodies.
Kaisha, where did the name Shenhe Body come from? It was spread by the Super God Academy.
Gradually, it seemed as though we had grown accustomed to it.
All of us, most civilizations in the Known Universe, civilizations that emerged from their own planets,
had become inheritors of the Shenhe civilization that had perished long ago? Kaisha, do you know what my first feeling was after I thought of this?
Terror. Utter terror! The Super God Academy... it was simply too terrifying.
Do you remember how we Angels first began walking this path?
It was during the reign of the Angel King from two generations before the last. After Angel civilization left our original planet, the Super God Academy appeared.
They wanted to establish diplomatic relations with us Angels and generously impart technological knowledge.
Thus, some cooperation began. Gradually, Hua Ye became the Angel King and also began conducting research along this technological path.
Thus, Super Soldiers began appearing continuously. After we drove Hua Ye and those Heavenly Scum out,
the Super God Academy came to us again, seeking diplomatic relations. To rapidly increase our technological strength, we agreed.
Thus, our technology underwent an explosive leap forward, and our research into Divine Body Technology became increasingly terrifying and powerful.
Yet without realizing it, we too had walked onto this path.
Later, Deno civilization rose, and the Super God Academy we had driven out began cooperating with them.
Then Blazing Sun civilization joined them as well. But later, for various reasons, a great war broke out in Deno civilization.
Afterward, Deno civilization was directly destroyed, while Blazing Sun civilization also had its inheritor directly crippled.
Behind all these events, there were traces of the Super God Academy. Though they were not especially obvious, it was still possible to see that there were problems involved.
After this incident, the Three Great Projects began to vanish without a trace. That was interesting.
The Galaxy Force, the Nuo Star God of War, and the Light of the Sun—the Three God-Making Projects—were nearly completed.
Then all three sides suffered devastating blows, with countless dead and injured. Deno civilization in particular was little different from being exterminated.
Blazing Sun civilization had its planet cleaved in two.
And that was not all. Blazing Sun's prince, the next inheritor, died, and afterward, a little girl could only become the vessel of the Light of the Sun.
Then, over time, she slowly adapted to the Light of the Sun, while the Galaxy Force and Nuo Star God of War genes were also brought to Earth Star.
They began constantly adapting there, as though everything had been planned long ago.
Kaisha, I suspect we may have fallen into someone else's scheme!"
After hearing this, Kaisha frowned and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"Hexi, do not tell anyone about these matters. Also, notify the retired Angels.
Tell them to secretly begin researching Gene Technology, but this Gene Technology cannot be the current Divine Body Technology.
We will provide the resources. Also, every hundred years, bring out the results of everyone's research.
Discuss them together. If, with the methods of so many of us combined, we still cannot develop another path for Gene Technology,
then we will likely have no choice but to remain like this in the future. But if we truly succeed,
then, Hexi, abandon the current path.
Our divine bodies have already become sacred bodies. At the very least, no other civilization will be able to catch up to us in the short term.
And haven't you mastered clone technology? Use the current Divine Body Technology and clones to conduct research.
As for the other Gene Technology path you mentioned, personally lead people to research it.
Follow your own ideas. From now on, this matter will be Angel civilization's foremost task.
Every other matter must be placed behind it. If what you said is true, then we must have a sufficiently powerful contingency plan.
Otherwise, we—no, the entire Known Universe—will have fallen into the grasp of a giant hand."
Upon hearing this, Hexi nodded heavily and said,
"I understand. I will handle this matter as quickly as possible.
You need not worry either. According to our calculations, there are still more than a thousand years before the true curtain rises. A thousand years.
With the strength of our tens of thousands of sisters and a million Angels, it will be enough for us to establish another path for Gene Technology."
Kaisha nodded after hearing this and said,
"Hexi, is that Jiang Zhen you mentioned still on Earth Star? How strong is he? What do you think if I go and meet him?"
Hexi immediately frowned. "No. If you go to Earth Star now, problems could easily arise. You are the Angels' king.
If you leave now, the entire Angel Race could fall into chaos!"
Kaisha said, "What if I go in secret? From what you said, Jiang Zhen may know some things. I want to ask him clearly!"
After hearing this, Hexi pondered for a moment before saying,
"If you go secretly and do not expose yourself, the problem should not be too serious!
Are you sure you want to meet him alone? You should know that Jiang Zhen's strength is likely enough to resist even if we join forces!"
Kaisha said, "For the Angel Race, as their king, I must make this trip!"
Hexi said, "All right. He is on Earth Star, in a place called the Kunlun Mountains. This is the address."
