With a wave of her hand, a small circular device appeared. She created a ring-shaped band around its outer edge to support its operation.
"Looks pretty good. Give your Celestial Computer a name."
"Let's call it... the Celestial Book." Since it was data-based, giving it a name with a touch of Huaxia flavor seemed fitting.
"The Celestial Book. In Huaxia legend, there really is a divine artifact by that name, one that can access all information. It's quite fitting. I'll now upload the data from my Heavenly Base Computing Group and the Holy Knowledge Treasury into it. After that, all that's left is to wait until you upgrade to a Fourth Generation God Body, then connect it to your built-in database and the Great Clock's underlying information. For now, you can use this Celestial Computer."
[Celestial Book Database information loaded. Binding to Divine River's Lord complete!] [Divine River One connected to the Celestial Book Database. Core processing speed has reached 56 frequencies.]
After connecting to the database, the Divine River One Engine's core processing speed reached 56 frequencies. Su Xinghe was very satisfied with that. After all, Hua Ye's Black Hole Engine only ran at between 48 and 56 frequencies. Perhaps Hua Ye's computing power would grow even stronger once he became a Fifth Generation Divine Body in the form of a spirit, but even if Hua Ye did appear in the future, Su Xinghe was already no weaker in terms of computing power alone.
"Very impressive. Fifty-six frequencies is already extremely powerful. Her Celestial Base Series combined with Mimic Heaven has a total computing power of only 128 frequencies, while the Holy Knowledge Treasury has 144, and Carl's Great Clock has 156. These are the three most powerful large-scale Celestial Computing Groups in the Known Universe. In the future, your Celestial Book Database should be able to reach the same level as the Holy Knowledge Treasury."
Su Xinghe nodded. He knew how powerful the Holy Knowledge Treasury was. Hua Ye was said to have broken the balance because he could unleash a black hole, which could theoretically expand without limit. The Holy Knowledge Treasury had no direct way to deal with a black hole, so while Hua Ye had one, he could stand against Holy Keisha. Without it, however, he would be utterly overwhelmed.
That was why Hua Ye later claimed that possessing the Knowledge Vault meant having the universe under one's control. As a database second only to the Great Clock, it really could give its owner the advantage over the entire universe. Hua Ye's strength came from his ability to add black hole strikes to his attacks, while Keisha and He Xi were powerful in every way.
"There's one more thing: the weapons arsenal. The one I prepared for you is much like Keisha's, though I made a few minor upgrades. Some parts are still at their previous level, while others are updated in sync with Keisha's arsenal. When I made them, I built two sets, both equipped with the Angel Civilization's most advanced technology. Your set also includes some of the Shenhe's cutting-edge technology that the Shenhe Empress—your mother—left you. And after studying the sword you carry, I added Void Energy to the Silver Wings in your arsenal."
"Unlike Keisha's Silver Wings, yours are upgraded Void Weapons. You can try connecting to them now. I'll help transport the weapons into the personal wormhole in your dark plane, so you can take your arsenal with you wherever you go."
[Connection to the Shenhe weapons arsenal successful. Connecting to personal wormhole password. Retrieving Void Weapon version of the Silver Wings!] [Activating Sacred Domain!]
"Oh, it seems the Void enhancement keeps them from being affected by changes in the spatial medium. That's great." Su Xinghe was pleased to see that his Silver Wings weren't affected by changes in the spatial medium. After all, Hua Ye would use that trick all the time in the future. He'd even used it to make Liangbing disappear.
"Very good. You can get used to them over time. I still need to study the weapons you came with. For now, you can go see Keisha. She has something to assign you concerning your future and the future of the Angel Civilization. I have no idea what she's planning."
Su Xinghe still couldn't match Holy Keisha in battle, but he had no trouble dealing with Liangbing in her Morgana form. All he had to do now was wait patiently for his Third Generation God Body to evolve into a Fourth Generation God Body.
After finishing the upgrade, Su Xinghe followed He Xi's directions to Keisha's palace. He didn't know why she wanted to see him, but Holy Keisha was the strongest being in the Known Universe and He Xi's close friend. Whether for public or personal reasons, he ought to pay her a visit.
"Your Highness the Prince, Queen Keisha is inside. Please, come in."
"I am Su Xinghe. My respects, Holy Keisha. May I ask why Your Majesty summoned me?"
Upon entering the Royal Palace Main Hall, Su Xinghe glanced at the Guardian Angels around him, including Angel Yan, then bowed to Holy Keisha.
"You needn't be so formal. In a sense, you're a Main God of the same standing as me. I called you here because there are some things I need to explain."
"As the first Prince in the history of the Angel Civilization, I'll grant you considerable authority. You may choose the Holy Wings, and you'll also have an Awe Legion to guard you."
"I've already chosen your Guard Legion: Angel Leng will lead it. As for the Holy Wings, you can choose them yourself. Just let me know once you've made up your mind."
The Holy Wings? A Guard Legion? Su Xinghe was clearly bewildered. By doing this, Holy Keisha was distributing power throughout the Angel Civilization.
He could guess why. Angel Yan's abilities were limited; she couldn't command the older generation of angels.
After Keisha left, someone would need to be capable of commanding at least some of the Old Angels. Apart from He Xi, he was the best choice in the Angel Civilization.
"Queen Keisha, I think I can guess why you're doing this. But you should trust your student. Angel Yan is capable of standing on her own. And isn't He Xi still here?"
"Your Highness the Prince, the situation is turbulent right now, and I'm sure you know that. As for He Xi, she has no interest in political maneuvering."
"But she can serve as the civilization's chief science officer and head of logistics. As He Xi's partner, the Prince of the civilization, and an imperial prince of the Shenhe Civilization, you're a Main God of the same standing as me. You should learn to think like a king as soon as possible."
"Very well. I'll obey the command of the King of Gods, Holy Queen Keisha. Since the Guard Legion has already been chosen, Angel Leng can also serve as the Left-Wing Guardian. As for the Right Wing Guard, I'll have He Xi choose a science-focused angel from her Celestial Base Corps."
"After all, Queen Keisha, most of the active angels under your command are currently combat-oriented. They aren't suited to serving as Right Wing Guards."
