"You have a very unusual teaching style, but what you said makes sense. Those things were all designed in advance, and they'll know how to use them with just a little adjustment. You and Qiangwei stay behind for a meeting later."
Juxia. Conference Room
"The Taotie Vanguard has already approached the Solar System. They'll enter Earth's atmosphere in less than two days. We still don't know what they want, and they don't know that Xiong Bing Lian exists."
"But our combat strength definitely has problems. A Guardian Angel named Angel Yan told me earlier that the Galaxy Power gene has Angel sequences at its core. They can be activated using the Holy Code. Once activated, he can grow a pair of wings and become an aerial unit."
"So what good would becoming an aerial unit do for Ge Xiaolun?" Qiangwei retorted. She didn't like Ge Xiaolun, and she didn't think he'd be much help even if he could fly.
"In a sense, it wouldn't do much. At least, not for now. But having it is better than not having it."
"Qiangwei, don't underestimate Ge Xiaolun's Super Gene. There's something even greater inside him. We just don't have the ability to develop it yet."
"Speaking of aerial units, I remember Su Xinghe can fly too. Why do we still need to help Ge Xiaolun grow wings?" Qiangwei looked at Su Xinghe.
Su Xinghe shrugged. He couldn't believe this had somehow become about him. From the look on Qiangwei's face, she wanted him to join Xiong Bing Lian and help them, too.
That was a joke. He'd joined Super Seminary because it belonged to his family, but joining Xiong Bing Lian would make him their drudge.
"Don't look at me. I'm not joining Xiong Bing Lian to help you fight aliens. You don't have the authority to order me around. I have the right to order you around—even to order Super Seminary to leave Earth."
"We're not on equal footing, so we can't work together on the same thing. Lena, you can explain to Qiangwei how to activate his wings. As for the Taotie, I've already told the Angels not to interfere. You'll fight them yourselves. Xiong Bing Lian should be able to handle a mere Vanguard. If you can't even beat them, you might as well disband."
Lena leaned close to Qiangwei's ear and quietly explained what Ge Xiaolun needed to do to fly. Qiangwei was deeply unhappy. What did Lena mean by Angel pheromones? She had to go kiss him? Was Lena making fun of her?
"Why don't you do it? And why can Su Xinghe fly without doing any of this? Is there really such a huge difference between people?"
"Don't look at me. My clearance is higher than Ge Xiaolun's, and my genes are more complete. To put it simply, he's a lower-spec replacement for me. Besides, my Guardian Angel is Skybase King Hexi of the Angel Civilization. Growing wings is easy for me. Lena could do it too, but she's the Lieyang Main God. It wouldn't be appropriate. Of the people here, only you and Lena can do this. Of course, you're free to refuse."
Qiangwei frowned. She felt that Su Xinghe was deliberately targeting her, but she couldn't say anything. In the end, she could only bear it herself, even though she was completely unwilling.
How could Su Xinghe not target her? He was doing it all for Liangbing, of course. But given the current situation, Liangbing and Qiangwei wouldn't have much to do with each other in the future.
When the meeting ended, Su Xinghe went straight to Super Seminary to find Principal Ryze. He was the only person on Earth who could open a passageway and let Su Xinghe meet the surviving Shenhe Scientists.
For now, Hua Ye's Black Hole Engine was the main threat in the early stages of the future. In the Angel Civilization—or, for that matter, across the Known Universe—only Death God Karl and Holy Keisha seemed capable of dealing with a black hole. While Death God Karl hadn't taken action yet, Su Xinghe needed to ask the Shenhe Scientists whether they knew how to counter it.
After all, Death God Karl had researched the Black Hole Engine back when he was still at Super Seminary. Principal Space had banned it because it was too dangerous. If Death God Karl could research the Black Hole Engine, then other scientists could as well.
"Principal Ryze, put down that figurine. She's my wife. And take me to meet the remaining Shenhe Scientists."
"Oh, it's you! This is a limited-edition figurine from across the universe. I spent a fortune on it—it was really expensive. Cough, cough... You want to meet the Shenhe Scientists? I'll open a portal for you. Ever since the main body of the Shenhe Civilization was destroyed, they've lived on a Mini Planet built by the Tech Tree. Be careful when you pass through the wormhole. Some of them may not recognize you." As he spoke, Ryze put down the figurine and tossed his cane toward the bookcase behind him, creating a huge, visible wormhole.
"Put that figurine away. Otherwise, I'll have her come to Super Seminary herself and talk to you about this in a few days." Su Xinghe looked back and glared at Ryze.
There was no way a figurine of Angel King Hexi could be found on Earth. Hexi had never visited Earth, after all. But the Three Angel Kings had plenty of fans across the universe, so it was perfectly normal for other civilizations to make figurines of them.
"All right, all right. Just don't tell your wife. She might tear Super Seminary apart. You know, Super Seminary belongs to your family. I'm just an employee."
The moment Su Xinghe threatened to summon Hexi, Ryze immediately backed down. He had to. He was from the same era as Principal Space, but his true combat strength was even lower than Morgana's. If he ever faced a King-level Main God like Hexi, who stood on the same level as Keisha, he was bound to get beaten to a pulp.
"How did you get here?"
"Hmm? A king from the Denuo Civilization?" Su Xinghe looked at the middle-aged man before him, dressed like royalty, without the slightest surprise. The story had already reached this point when he arrived. Originally, the man should have met the Galaxy Power, but Su Xinghe had gotten there first.
"So you know who I am. Do you also know the mission and responsibility you bear?"
"My mission? Space explained it, but it has nothing to do with your Denuo Civilization. I'm a Prince of the Shenhe Civilization. Watch your tone when you speak to me. Without Super Seminary, your Denuo Civilization might not even be able to defeat the Yiren Civilization as it is now."
"The Shenhe Civilization created Super Seminary, and Super Seminary made the Denuo Civilization what it is today. So you should know where you stand in front of me. Besides, you're nothing but a program. I'm ordering you, in my capacity as a Prince of the Shenhe Civilization, to leave at once!"
