He Xi, Guardian Angel

"Marriage Alliance—in a sense, what you said isn't wrong. Our relationship is indeed a marriage alliance."

"But there's nothing wrong with that, is there? Skybase King Hexi is the most beautiful Angel in our Angel Civilization, and her status is no lower than mine." Holy Keisha chuckled.

Su Xinghe nodded. Hexi was indeed beautiful. After all, the Heavenly Dregs had good taste.

"According to the information we've received, the Taotie Civilization in the Styx Galaxy will attack Earth before long. You've lived on Earth for quite some time, so I imagine you have some attachment to the country you lived in."

"I originally planned to ask the Super Seminary for their opinion before taking action on Earth. But now that you've appeared, everything will revolve around you."

"After all, you're the Prince of Shenhe Civilization, and the Super Seminary was established by your civilization. So I'd like to hear what you think."

As for Earth, it wasn't true that he had no attachment to it. He'd been there for ten years since crossing over, after all. But if he said he did have an attachment, it wasn't really the Earth where he'd originally been born.

"I don't want to offer an opinion on this matter. If Queen Keisha wants to take any action on Earth, she can ask the Super Seminary."

"Personally, I do feel some attachment to Earth, and I don't want it to be utterly destroyed by this war."

A lot would happen on Earth in the future. In any case, whether he said anything or not, Holy Keisha wouldn't attack Earth.

"Xing, how about your big sister goes to Earth with you? We could take the chance to spend some time alone together."

"With me there, Carl won't go too far. What do you think?" He Xi tilted her head. She hadn't left Angel City in many years, so this was the perfect opportunity to go out and have some fun—and grow closer to her little Male God.

He'd certainly been very attached to her when he was young, but ten thousand years had passed. A lot of things would have to be rebuilt from scratch.

"Queen Hexi, the situation across the universe is still quite complicated. I'm sure Morgana will go to Earth. If Queen Keisha takes the Angels there, then your home base will need at least one King to protect it. So, considering the bigger picture, I'd rather you didn't come with me to Earth."

He Xi froze. She clearly hadn't expected him to say that.

"What? Do you have someone you like on Earth, and you're afraid your big sister will get in the way of your romance?"

"If you already have someone you like on Earth, I'm willing to give you another hundred years. After all, mortals don't live much longer than that."

"Queen Hexi, you're joking. How could I have someone I like? It's just that the Angel Civilization isn't as peaceful as it looks right now, and you're still needed to help out. I can only grow properly by learning to stand on my own, and Xiong Bing Lian is a good place for me to start. We can think about us after everything in the Angel Civilization has been taken care of."

After Holy Keisha fell, they would still need He Xi. Otherwise, with Angel Yan's head on her shoulders, who knew what would become of Angel City?ŴŴŴ.

Besides, he didn't want to feel bound to anyone. His relationship with He Xi was ultimately based on a deal, just like the relationship between Angel Yan and Galaxy Power.

"Then let Yan go with you. As for He Xi, she can wait for now. You'll be at the Super Seminary too, growing alongside the Three Great God-Making Projects." Holy Keisha seemed to have seen through something, so she simply had Yan go with him to Earth. It made perfect sense; Yan was going there to find Morgana anyway.

"But you can't have come all this way for nothing. I can't upgrade you to a Fourth Generation God Body right now, but a Third Generation God Body is no problem. I'll have He Xi upgrade you before you go to Earth. Or you can come with me later, if you prefer. It's up to you." After speaking, Holy Keisha gave He Xi a look and left with Angel Yan, leaving He Xi alone with Su Xinghe.

"Kiddo, you don't seem to like me very much. You're so reluctant to have your big sister come back to Earth with you. Am I not as good as Angel Yan?" He Xi leaned forward until she was almost pressed against Su Xinghe.

"Ahem, big sister, there are things you don't want Angel Yan to know, but that doesn't mean I don't know them. Keisha plans to go offline in this incident. When that happens, the Angel Civilization will lose one of its top fighters, and Angel Yan—you know how limited her abilities are."

"That's why I want you to stay in Angel City for a while. Once I've grown stronger, we can think about what comes next. So, big sister, I believe you can understand. We can put our feelings aside for now. Protecting the Angel Civilization is what matters most."

He Xi froze. She didn't know how Su Xinghe had learned this. Who had told him? Death God Karl, or Space Principal?

She didn't know. The Royal Gene was too heavily encrypted for her to read its information, and even after all these years, Shenhe's gene technology was still superior to the Angels'.

"You're wondering how I know. I don't think you'll believe me completely even if I tell you. But once Holy Keisha is gone, the Beast Body, Triangular Body, and Heavenly Dregs Group will all attack the Angel Civilization. Angel Yan won't be able to hold them back."

"And I'll need time to deal with the affairs of Shenhe Civilization, so I've decided we should put things between us on hold for now—at least for a few years. Of course, if I grow quickly enough, that time could come sooner. What do you think, Big Sister He Xi?"

"Kid, you're pretty quick-witted. Fine. Your big sister has already waited ten thousand years, so a few more won't make a difference. Let's see how much you can grow in that time."

He Xi shook her head. She'd lived for more than thirty thousand years; how could she not know what was on Su Xinghe's mind? But she didn't call him out. Her Male God still had to get past that whole abstinence phase, and she also wanted to see just how quickly such a Male God could grow.

"Get ready. I'll upgrade you to a Third Generation God Body. We'll deal with the Fourth Generation God Body after you've adapted to the Third Generation. A Sacred Body might not be compatible with your genes."

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

A Sacred Body was compatible with most genes, including Galaxy Power, but it couldn't work with Divine River's Lord. Was it simply because the Royal Family was special? Perhaps that was part of it, but not the whole story. More importantly, Su Xinghe's Divine River's Lord combined the traits of multiple Super Genes.

A Sacred Body could adapt to a single Super Gene, but not to one with multiple abilities. That was why the Fourth Generation God Body mechanism for Divine River's Lord had to be built in from the start.
