[Warning: This area is about to reach absolute zero. Given the current conditions, you will be frozen in ten minutes.]
"Is there any way around this? Could I resist it by upgrading to a Fourth Generation God Body, for example?" Absolute zero was cold enough to freeze light. A Third Generation God Body definitely couldn't withstand it. A Fourth Generation God Body might be able to, considering the temperature in the depths of the universe was about the same. Holy Keisha could enter the depths of the universe, which proved that a Sacred Body could resist extremely low temperatures.
[Yes, but the final plan for upgrading to a Fourth Generation God Body is currently being reorganized.]
"Are there any other options?"
[Option 2: Create a Spatial Shield to isolate you from the surrounding space. This will grant temporary immunity to absolute zero. Given your current condition, the Spatial Shield can be maintained for one hour.]
"Activate the Spatial Shield. Redefine the temperature inside it!"
[Redefining: 10%... 50%... 90%... Redefinition complete!]
"What is this..." After reaching the bottom of the abyss, Su Xinghe discovered a woman frozen in ice. The same blue vines as before had grown all over her.
They were more than 4,000 meters underground. Freyzer's technology was currently at the level of ancient Rome on Earth, so there was no way they could have preserved their queen's remains so perfectly, let alone buried them more than 4,000 meters underground.
"Are you a descendant of Freyzer?"
Just as Su Xinghe reached out to touch the crystal coffin, a ethereal voice rang out. The woman who had been sleeping inside it awoke.
"No. I'm the Main God of the Shenhe Civilization."
"The Shenhe Civilization... Let me think. It's unfamiliar, but I do remember something. There was a scientist in your civilization named Ding Gehei. Is he doing well?"
"You knew Ding Gehei, senior?" Su Xinghe's heart pounded. Ding Gehei had been Space Principal's teacher and the creator of the Great Clock, the most powerful Celestial Computer in the Known Universe. He had to be at least sixty thousand years old.
Anyone who knew a great figure like that had to be at least thirty thousand years old.
"More or less. We once went to the depths of the universe and encountered something called the Void. He took some data back to study, and I fell asleep here after absorbing an unknown energy."
"May I ask your name, senior?"
"My name? It's been a long time. Everyone called me the Extreme Cold Goddess. You can call me that, too."
"You said you're the Main God of the Shenhe Civilization. I remember that the Main God of the Shenhe Civilization back then wasn't you. Has a long time passed outside?"
"Yes. The civilization was destroyed more than ten thousand years ago for some unknown reason. Space Principal became the will of the universe, and most of the surviving Shenhe Scientists and people of the Shenhe Civilization moved elsewhere. As for Senior Ding Gehei, I've never heard from him again," Su Xinghe said quietly. He could still contact Space Principal, but he had no idea where Ding Gehei had gone.
"The Shenhe Civilization was destroyed?" The woman inside the crystal was shocked to hear this. Before she went to sleep, the Shenhe Civilization had been the most powerful civilization in the universe.
"So more than ten thousand years have passed. I don't know why the Shenhe Civilization disappeared, but I still can't leave."
"In the box to your right is a backup of the Elemental Sequence Gene code. Take it back and have the scientists of the Shenhe Civilization or the Angel Civilization develop it. They're capable of completing this genetic engineering project."
"An Elemental Super Gene?" Genes like Angel Yan's Thunder Gene and Stellar Drive were actually just parts of the elemental genes.
That was because they both used elements produced by natural solutions.
"My Elemental Gene combines several elements: earth, fire, ice, thunder, darkness, and spacetime. It was originally meant to be used against the Void, and it can be integrated with any version of the Shenhe Super Gene."
"Find it a suitable host. I hope that when the Void arrives, that person can help this universe."
Su Xinghe picked up the gene backup from the box. Since it could be integrated with any version of the Shenhe Gene, Qilin was the best choice.
After all, among the Xiong Bing Lian, Qilin's gene sequence was the least advanced, just a first-generation Shenhe Sniper gene. She was also the older girl next door he'd grown up with.
"All right. The Angels outside are still waiting for you. Don't tell anyone about what you saw here."
"Queen Yan, the Prince went down just like that. Shouldn't we notify our teacher?"
Zhixin stood above, extremely worried. After all, he was her teacher's Male God.
"It's too late to notify Skybase King He Xi now. Besides, Space Principal is currently in a conscious state. If anything goes wrong, I think Space Principal will be the first to help."
"All we can do now is wait here. In the meantime, I'll search Holy Keisha's Knowledge Treasury for records of anything like this."
The information couldn't be read, and Angel Yan didn't know what to do in this situation. All she could do was wait outside and see what happened.
"Angel Leng, send the Guard Legion to Freyzer. Also, dispatch a squad to Angel City to bring Heavenly Blade Series battleship 6,004 to Earth for Galaxy Power to receive. The Prince and I decided this together. The Angel Civilization's aid to Earth can also serve as your dowry. As for the Guardian Angel vow, that's up to you."
"Boom!"
"Cough, cough. That nearly cost me half my life. Guess it really is true—showing off feels great in the moment, but afterward you end up in the ICU." After climbing back up, Su Xinghe looked miserable. The extreme cold had done considerable damage to his Third Generation God Body.
"Your Highness the Prince, are you all right? What was down there?" Zhixin stepped forward and supported Su Xinghe.
"Nothing much. The Shenhe Civilization once had a Super Gene. After the research was completed, it was buried underground. Your extensive use of the Great Judgment triggered the energy that activated it."
"Let's go back and have He Xi study this gene. Maybe she can develop something that's no use to me."
Zhixin and Angel Yan didn't doubt this explanation. After all, the Super Seminary had indeed established a branch in northern Freyzer a long time ago to conduct Super Gene experiments. Finding a leftover Super Gene here wasn't particularly unusual.
From the Angels' perspective, this was good news for the entire Angel Civilization. The Angel Civilization's Super Genes were rather limited, and for all these years, they had focused on researching and optimizing the Angel Gene.
They hadn't developed other diverse Super Genes like those of the Shenhe Civilization.
