He Xi: Hmm, Keep the Good Stuff in the Family

Half a month later, at the Heavenly Base King's palace.

"How's it going? Have you made any progress on researching this Super Gene, my dear big sister He Xi?" Su Xinghe lounged carelessly on the sofa, wearing a standard-issue male King Armor from the Angel Civilization. For the past half month, Angel Yan had seized the chance to put him to work, using the excuse of helping Enixide adapt to the Angel Gene to hand him all sorts of matters, big and small, within the Angel Civilization.

"It's going well enough, but aside from the Space-Time Gene and the Dark Gene, there's nothing else particularly useful in this Super Gene."

"Who was it you mentioned before, someone in Earth's Xiong Bing Lian who you wanted to give this gene to?"

"Qilin, your sweet girl next door. If you really want to give it to her, you should find a way to keep her by your side. I don't mind having another little sister. With a Super Gene of this caliber, it's best to keep the good stuff in the family."

"With the Angel Civilization's help, she'll soon be able to become a Main God on Queen Keisha's level."

"Oh, so you're encouraging your Male God to go find a few more little sisters? What kind of Guardian Angel does that?" Su Xinghe was genuinely taken aback by what He Xi said.

Were the Angels really so open-minded about love these days? He remembered that Queen Keisha had a famous saying: true love would last forever.

But by the time it got to Pipi Xi, it had become, "I don't mind having another little sister."

"Honestly, it doesn't really matter. I'm already over thirty thousand years old, so I take some things more lightly. When it comes to love, those rules were only laid down by Keisha for the younger Angels."

"Besides, most of them are in the Heavenly Blade Legion. The rest of us Angels are more casual about love. As long as two people truly love each other, there's no problem."

"And if we're talking about family backing, no one in this universe has more clout than the Angels."

"What I'm doing is good for the Angel Civilization, too. I've finished researching it. Since you're going to Earth anyway, if you really want to give it to her, be ready to bring her home."

This... was great. If that was the case, then Liangbing could be an option too. That would be even better.

As for Qilin, she was quite pretty, but there wasn't any romantic feeling between them.

But none of that was very important. Feelings could be cultivated, so it wouldn't be a big problem.

"You seem pretty happy. I think there's something you haven't told me. Like, what exactly did you encounter down there?"

"Um... Why would you think that, Sister? I already told you. When they used the Great Judgment, the massive amounts of Stellar Energy and Dark Energy caused this Super Gene to react."

"You're the Angel Civilization's chief scientist. You should know how it works." Su Xinghe laughed it off. He'd promised not to reveal what he'd seen in there, but He Xi's intuition was just too sharp.

"You know I'm the Angel Civilization's chief scientist, so I can tell you this for certain: Super Genes that react to powerful stellar energy and dark energy are all relatively low-grade."

"But a more complete Super Gene, or one with a stronger gene sequence, wouldn't be affected by such low-level methods. If you hadn't brought this gene back and had taken it straight to Earth to let someone assimilate it, before I'd had a chance to study it, I might have believed you."

"But you went and brought the Super Gene to me. Do you really think I still have any reason to believe what you're saying?"

He Xi tilted her head. She was curious where on earth Su Xinghe had gotten this Super Gene.

It wasn't exactly wrong to say it had been left behind by the Super Seminary, but her instincts told her that her little Male God was definitely hiding something from her.

"Never mind. Judging by how troubled you look, even if you do know something, you won't tell me. Everyone has their own secrets, so you don't have to tell me."

"Get ready to head to Earth. Hua Ye still hasn't come to Angel City, and I don't know what he's plotting."

"He may be getting upgraded by Death God Karl, but the Taotie Civilization's forces have been pretty rampant lately."

"Here, take the gene. Remember to bring my little sister back with you."

Taking the Super Gene, Su Xinghe hurried out. He needed to find Angel Yan. He'd been handling the Angel Civilization's day-to-day affairs for half a month now. He honestly couldn't tell whether Angel Yan or Su Xinghe was the ruler of this civilization.

"Angel Enixide greets His Highness the Prince."

"Oh, Enixide, have you seen Angel Yan?"

As soon as Su Xinghe left the Heavenly Base King's palace, he ran into Angel Enixide, who was out on her usual patrol. He'd originally thought the Angels' Super Gene had a beautifying effect, but seeing Enixide made him realize it didn't.

"Her Majesty is at the palace. She's gathered the civilizations under the Angel Civilization and formed the Holy Expeditionary Army. It seems to be for striking at the Taotie Legion under Death God Karl."

"Got it."

"It's not that we doubt our Queen's abilities. I'm just curious: how long will this war of vengeance for Holy Keisha last?"

"A war between God-level Civilizations isn't something soldiers like us can take part in. I remember when we accompanied Queen Keisha on her campaign against the demon Morgana. Their demons killed our commander, and by the end of the day, our entire army had been forced into retreat."

Below, Robbers Peel, the Prince of the Yiren Civilization and commander of the Holy Expeditionary Army, questioned Angel Yan about who they would be facing next.

If they really had to face an enemy like Morgana, they'd be fighting for generations. After all, people in an Aerospace-Class civilization lived at most two or three hundred years.

A war between gods, on the other hand, could last tens of thousands of years.

"Watch your words. I won't deny that you've followed Queen Keisha into battle in the past and rendered many great services."

"But that doesn't mean you can disregard my authority." Angel Yan frowned. If she, the New King, couldn't even keep the civilizations under her in line, she'd become a laughingstock.

"Besides, we're not going to war with the demons this time. The war between the Angels and the demons has now reached a ceasefire of sorts."

"Queen Keisha fell because of Death God Karl's scheme. The Holy Expeditionary Army's main purpose is to strike at the Taotie Legion under Death God Karl."
