Hexi, Guardian Angel

"Marriage alliance. In a sense, what you said isn't wrong. Our current state is indeed that of a marriage alliance."

"But there's nothing wrong with that, is there? Skybase King Hexi is the most beautiful among our Angel Civilization, and her status is hardly lacking." Holy Keisha chuckled.

Su Xinghe nodded. Hexi was indeed very beautiful—after all, the Skyblade Group had good taste.

"According to the intelligence we've received, the Taotie Civilization of the Styx Galaxy will soon launch an attack on Earth. You've lived there for quite some time, so you must have some attachment to the country you called home."

"Originally, I planned to consult Super Seminary before taking action on Earth, but now that you've appeared, everything will revolve around you."

"After all, you are the Prince of Shenhe Civilization, and Super Seminary is an academy founded by your civilization. So I'd like to hear your thoughts."

Earth. He couldn't say he had no feelings—he'd been transmigrated here for a decade. But if he said he did have feelings, it wasn't for the Earth he was originally born on.

"I don't wish to express any opinion on this matter. If Queen Keisha wants to take any action on Earth, she's welcome to consult Super Seminary."

"Personally, I do have some attachment to Earth, and I hope it won't be completely destroyed because of this war."

Earth—many future events would unfold there. In truth, whether he spoke or not, Holy Keisha wouldn't lay a hand on it.

"Little Star, how about big sister goes to Earth with you for a look? We can spend some time alone together too."

"With me there, Karl won't go too far. What do you think?" Hexi tilted her head. She hadn't left Angel City in many years, so this was a good chance to get out and have some fun, and also to build a bond with her little male god.

Though he had been clingy with her when he was young, ten thousand years had passed, and much needed to be rebuilt.

"Queen Hexi, the cosmic situation is still quite complex right now. I'm certain Morgana will head to Earth. If Queen Keisha leads the angels there, then your stronghold will need at least one King-level presence. From a big-picture perspective, I don't think you should come to Earth with me."

Hexi was taken aback. Clearly, she hadn't expected him to say that.

"What? Do you have someone you like on Earth? Afraid big sister will disturb your romance?"

"If you already have someone you like on Earth, I'm willing to give you another hundred years. After all, a mortal's lifespan is only a century at most."

"Queen Hexi jokes. What person could I possibly like? It's just that, at this stage, Angel Civilization isn't as quiet as it seems on the surface. It still needs your help. And I can only grow better by standing on my own. The Xiong Bing Lian is a good starting point. Once all the affairs of Angel Civilization are settled, we can consider our own matters."

After Holy Keisha fell, Hexi would still be needed. Otherwise, with Angel Yan's head, who knew what would become of Angel City.

Besides, he didn't want to feel tied down. His relationship with Hexi was ultimately transactional, much like that of Angel Yan and Galaxy Power.

"Then let Yan go with you. Hexi can wait for now. You'll be at Super Seminary yourself, growing alongside the Three Great God-Making Projects." Holy Keisha seemed to catch on, so she directly assigned Yan to go to Earth. It made perfect sense—Yan was already meant to go there to find Morgana.

"But you can't come here for nothing. Even if I can't upgrade you to a Fourth Generation God Body right now, upgrading to a Third Generation is no problem. Have Hexi help you upgrade before heading to Earth, or come with me later—it's up to you." With that, Holy Keisha gave Hexi a look, took Angel Yan, and left, leaving Hexi and Su Xinghe alone.

"Little one, it seems you don't really like big sister, huh? So unwilling to have me go back to Earth with you? Am I not even as good as Angel Yan?" Hexi leaned forward, her body nearly pressing against Su Xinghe.

"Ahem, ahem. Sister, there are things you don't want Angel Yan to know, but that doesn't mean I don't. Keisha plans to step down in this incident. When that happens, Angel Civilization will lose a top-tier combatant. And Angel Yan... you know her abilities are very limited."

"That's why I want you to stay in Angel City for a while. Let me grow on my own first, then we can consider the rest. So, sister, I believe you can understand. Put feelings aside for now—protecting Angel Civilization is the main priority."

Hexi was stunned. She didn't know how Su Xinghe knew all this. Who told him? Death God Karl? Or the Space Principal?

She didn't know. The Royal Gene encryption was too high; she couldn't read his information. After all these years, Shenhe's genetic technology still surpassed that of the angels.

"You're curious how I know. I could tell you, but you might not fully believe me. But once Holy Keisha is gone, the Beast Bodies, Triangular Bodies, and the Skyblade Group will all strike at Angel Civilization. Angel Yan won't be able to hold them back."

"And I need time to deal with matters of the Shenhe Civilization. So I've decided to put our matters on hold—at least for a few years. Of course, if I grow fast enough, that time will be shortened. What do you think, Sister Hexi?"

"Kid, your mind works fast. No problem. Big sister has waited ten thousand years; a few more years won't hurt. Let's see how much you can grow in that time."

Hexi shook her head. Having lived over thirty thousand years, she knew exactly what was going on in Su Xinghe's mind. But she didn't call him out. A male god had to pass the test of abstinence, and she also wanted to see just how fast this young man could grow.

"Now, let's prepare. I'll upgrade you to a Third Generation God Body. The Fourth Generation God Body can wait until you've adapted to the Third. The Holy Body may not be compatible with your genes."

[Activating Mimic Heaven. Connecting to Divine River's Lord. Initiating Third Generation God Body upgrade protocol.]

The Holy Body could accommodate most genes, including Galaxy Power, but not Divine River's Lord. Was it just because of the Royal Gene's uniqueness? Perhaps, but not entirely. More so because Su Xinghe's Divine River's Lord contained a fusion of multiple super gene traits.

The Holy Body could adapt to a single super gene, but not one with multiple abilities. That was why the Fourth Generation God Body mechanism for Divine River's Lord was built-in from the start.
