Invitation and Revelation

After all, he was new here. Although the system had his back, from what he'd learned, the system didn't just hand things out for free.

And right now, he was dirt poor. In this world of Super God, where technology created gods, knowledge was paramount—and the system didn't have any of that stuff.

The Angel Civilization was the highest civilization in the Known Universe. If he could learn some knowledge from them, it would definitely benefit him in the long run.

His holy golden wings unfurled, sacred and pure energy coiling around them. The moment he appeared, he drew the gaze of every angel in the hall.

The sacred aura, in particular, warmed the hearts of many little angels who were experiencing it for the first time, their expressions growing dazed and entranced.

{System Bro really didn't lie to me. He said this God's Punishment Angel Super Gene of mine is extremely advanced, has a huge connection to angels, and the compatibility is off the charts.} {Look, I barely show it off and I've already charmed so many sisters. System Bro, not bad at all.} This stray thought of his snapped the few angels who could hear his voice out of their trance.

Keisha and Hexi exchanged a subtle glance.

"Little Keisha, looks like my earlier guess was right. This kid's super gene is very advanced, and it has a deep connection to our angels."

Keisha didn't refute Hexi's words; in fact, she largely agreed.

"Maybe it really is like he said—that the God's Punishment Angel super gene comes from some lost, fallen ancient civilization, and it's very likely angelic too."

"We need to find a way to bring him into the Angel Faction."

Keisha gave an imperceptible nod, then looked back at Yun Zhao, her expression very gentle.

"A very impressive super gene. I can feel its beauty, and it seems to have a great connection to our angels."

"Yun Zhao, would you be willing to join the Angel Civilization?"

"Ah?"

Caught off guard by Keisha's sudden invitation, Yun Zhao's brain short-circuited for a moment.

In his past life, as an ordinary person, he'd never had a concept of factions. He was just himself. But things were different now.

In the Super God Universe, faction lines were very clear. They represented power, resources, and support.

Join Earth?

Honestly, Yun Zhao wasn't very keen on joining Earth here. Even though he hadn't forgotten he was Earthling, everyone knew the deal with Earth in the Super God Universe.

The situation was complicated. There was Dextar, the Super God Academy—each had their own direct line.

Dextar had the Nuo Star God of War, the Nuo Star Sharp Knife, the Heart of Earth, the Dextar Spear, and so on.

Super God Academy had Galaxy Strength and Space-Time Qiang Wei. Well, Qiang Wei was a bit special—her super gene was cooked up by Morgana and Death God Karl, then left at the Academy, and she also happened to be Du Kao's daughter.

Aside from them, there was Di Leina from Lieyang. She went to Earth to make friends, for friendship's sake—no need to say more.

Then there were Earth's native Sun Wukong and the Earth high command.

Earth was a Pre-Nuclear Civilization. They had almost no resources for super soldiers. Sun Wukong seemed a bit led astray too, not very reliable.

Besides all that, there was one special person: Qi Lin. A wild super gene carrier. Although her super gene came from the God River Civilization, her heart belonged to Earth.

It was worth mentioning Qi Lin's treatment and experiences in the Super Soldier Company. She got the worst equipment, basically no resources to improve her strength—completely neglected.

In that regard, Yun Zhao was in a similar boat to Qi Lin. He also had a wild super gene, no backing, no connections. Even if his potential was higher than Qi Lin's, he'd probably end up just as neglected due to faction politics, right? So, helping Earth fight off aliens? He didn't mind, he'd even be happy to. But if it meant joining Earth and giving his all for this world's Earth, he couldn't do it.

He crossed the Earth faction off his list. The remaining factions were even worse.

Lieyang didn't interest him. Di Leina was fine, could be a friend, but Pan Zhen was a fool—a weathervane who'd count the money for the person who sold him out. Di Hongkun was a waste, holed up in the Heavenly Dao Tower unable to do anything.

Styx? No consideration at all. He didn't want to become some kind of phantom body. He came to the Super God Universe to have a chance to explore primal desires with goddesses—who the hell would choose to be a phantom body?

Besides, that was the big bad. The name Yun Zhao just wasn't suited for a big villain.

In his past life, Yun Zhao was an orphan. Raised by the Dean from a young age, he took the Dean's surname. The character Zhao was specially chosen by the Dean, representing light, and carrying the Dean's earnest hopes for his future.

Aside from all that, the only ones left were demons and angels.

Morgana was pretty exciting, but early on her head was full of killing Keisha, later on it was full of Space-Time Qiang Wei. And demons were just too ugly—completely against his aesthetic.

That left only the angels. He personally really liked angels, but... angels had a lot of trouble too.

After Keisha went offline, the angels could be summed up in one sentence: gods and ghosts all show off, only the angels get beaten.

Especially Yan, that fool. She kept helping Ge Xiaolun, sparing no expense, to put it mildly.

Angels were beautiful, he liked them a lot. But if the future didn't change, staying in a faction like that would be really frustrating.

Seeing him silent for so long, the angels weren't in a hurry. They just waited quietly.

{This is a tough choice. I really like angels, but... they're chasing the God Era, and the protagonist is Galaxy Strength.} {Later on, they invest everything in Galaxy Strength. Countless little angels die for him, they send the Heavenly Blade 7, the Holy Programming Language, everything.} {Even the Merlin Heavenly Court falls, all the angels retreat and hole up in Frieza, and they still look out for him. I honestly can't accept that part.} As this rant echoed in their minds, the few angels who could hear his thoughts all changed expressions drastically. Keisha and Hexi's faces grew more serious than ever before.

The angels' pursuit of the God Era was inevitable. A single gender couldn't last forever, and Galaxy Strength was the Angel Future that Keisha and Hexi had jointly deduced.

They had indeed planned quite a bit, but deducing the future couldn't cover every detail, every single event.

At best, they could only see the general outline. In the end, they just looked at the ratio of good to bad outcomes.

In the deduced future, pursuing Galaxy Strength yielded relatively good results, which was why Keisha had some plans.

But hearing the content of Yun Zhao's thoughts now, she couldn't help but be shaken.

The future might be relatively good, but if the cost along the way was too great, was that relatively good future truly good? What she wanted for the Angel Future was a development that surpassed the present, not one that left them crippled, needing countless years to recover before reaching that better development.
