"From what you're saying, little friend, the future doesn't look good for Shenzhou. How does this stronger enemy you mentioned compare to the people of Heavenly Dao Star from 1,400 years ago?" Sun Wukong had just returned from teaching Liu Chuang a lesson when he happened to hear Su Xinghe's words.
"Heavenly Dao Star wasn't strong compared to the enemies of the future. Earth has no chance of standing against them. Even the Angels will struggle without the help of the older generation. That's the war that lies ahead."
"This is a world beset by calamities. In a thousand worlds, only one looks like the world of humans. This is my master's world. I ought to protect it."
"How can we say we have no clothes? We'll share our robes with you."
"Where will Your Highness go next?"
"To Super Seminary, or should we find somewhere to live on Earth?"
Angel Yan and Angel Zhui had already been recalled by Queen Keisha. Now, only their guard unit remained on Earth, and they still had to keep an eye on Liangbing's movements. Xinyue wasn't keen on going to Super Seminary. As an Angel of the older generation, she had little affection for the place. But Su Xinghe's status was what it was: he was the Crown Prince of Shenhe and He Xi's Male God, so his wishes had to take priority.
"Let's find somewhere to live first. Since I came with you, I'll naturally be here as an Angel. Angel International has a rather large villa in Juxia City, so we can stay there for now. With Super Seminary there, Juxia City won't face an alien invasion for a long time."
"Su, you should go to the Juxia first. With so many Angels suddenly appearing, Ducao and the others are pretty nervous. You know Earth is in a troubled time."
Sun Wukong was still wary of Xinyue and the others, especially after Ducao had just told him over Dark Communication that these Angels could easily defeat Lieyang Star.
"Then Xinyue can come with me to the Juxia. The rest of the Angels can go to the villa and wait for us. If too many of us go, it'll look like the Angels are picking on people."
Being He Xi's Prince alone was already this great. If he became King of the Angels, wouldn't that be something else?
Su Xinghe imagined the prestige he'd have once he became King of Gods. But that was impossible for now. With Holy Keisha still around, no one would dare call themselves King of Gods.
After making the arrangements, Su Xinghe headed to the Juxia with Xinyue. When she saw the ship moored on the sea, a look of surprise crossed her face.
"Are the people of Earth planning to rely on these naval guns to fight the Taotie? If so, they'll be pinpointed and wiped out in a single strike. How is that any different from handing themselves over?"
"The Denuo Civilization has been here for thousands of years. You'd think they'd have helped develop technology, but all they did was spread genes. They were a God-level Civilization, after all. What was Ducao thinking?"
"Deno Three is even easier to access than my own database. And there's a backup of the Galaxy Power gene. How interesting. Are they planning to dilute it later and mass-produce enhanced soldiers?"
Su Xinghe didn't stop Xinyue from reading the data. Deno Three really was the worst Celestial Computer in the Known Universe, and what Xinyue was accessing wasn't exactly secret.
"There's nothing they can do. This is the level of technology they have now. The old Shenhe Radiant Civilization respected life. Huaxia wouldn't launch a nuclear strike first, much less use one against its own people."
"This is already the most advanced conventional firepower Earth can field."
Xinyue's words reminded him: Ducao and the others had arrived on Earth before the Tang Dynasty. With the technology they had, Earth should have become an Aerospace-Class Civilization after more than a thousand years. At the very least, Huaxia should have—but even now, it was still in the Pre-Nuclear Era. Nothing else had changed, and all they'd brought was war.
Even if the Denuo Civilization had suffered a devastating blow and lost most of its data, it was still a God-level Civilization. Surely they hadn't lost even the common technologies of the Pre-Nuclear Era and the Aerospace Era?
"Liangbing?"
A naval officer passed by Xinyue. She thought the person looked a lot like Liangbing, but the Dark Communication signal didn't match, so she let it go for now. There were only two possibilities: either the person simply looked like her, or the other person's strength and computing power far surpassed her own, and they were concealing their core information with a Fourth Generation God Body.
Neither possibility gave her a reason to act rashly. Su Xinghe knew most of what would happen early on, so he knew the person who had just walked past was Liangbing. But he didn't say anything.
On the other side, Liangbing broke out in a cold sweat when she saw Xinyue. Damn it, an Angel from her era! Xinyue had risen from an Angel Warrior to become He Xi's personal guard captain, and during the first war between the Angels and Demons, she had hunted Liangbing when she still had a Third Generation God Body.
"Damn, Xinyue, He Xi's personal guard captain. Does that mean He Xi has come to Earth? Does she know where I am?"
"No, no. I need to hide, fast. This is too dangerous."
Liangbing made the sensible choice and backed down. If Xinyue, the captain of He Xi's personal guard, was on Earth, then the entire guard unit had to be here. Twelve Third Generation God Bodies—and He Xi might even be with them. If they found her, all the warriors she'd worked so hard to bring back to life would be wiped out in one fell swoop.
"Ato, I ran into an Angel from my era. Leave Huaxia immediately and find another country to lie low in for now. I'll check the Xiong Bing Lian data, then meet up with you."
"Queen, we haven't seen an Angel from your era since the first war. Why would one show up now? Does this mean Holy Keisha is going to fight us to the death?" Ato was alarmed. Even against the new generation of Angels, their casualties were more than eight times the Angels'. If the older generation joined in, they wouldn't stand a chance even if they suffered ten or twenty times the casualties.
"Don't be afraid. He Xi's guard is here, along with that little Xing—the Crown Prince of Shenhe. He's back, so He Xi probably got married. Keisha isn't here. Let's find somewhere to hide and wait for Carl's help. That's it. Xinyue is on the Juxia, and if we stay connected too long, we'll be discovered."
"What are you thinking about? You seem distracted. An Angel your age shouldn't have any reason to be wary of a warmonger, should she?"
As they walked, Su Xinghe asked on purpose. He wasn't going to tell her about Liangbing just yet. After all, Holy Keisha's fall was inevitable.
"A warmonger? To us, he's just a child. Sure, he's done something big, but it wasn't anything worth being proud of."
