This wasn't because Su Xinghe was taking sides or deliberately targeting anyone. The Shenhe Civilization really did have the strength to back it up.
As for Huaxia, all things considered, its only real advantage was a longer history than other nations. But that kind of heritage was nothing in the face of a God-level Civilization.
The Shenhe Civilization had a history of 200,000 years, the Angel Civilization 100,000, the Lieyang Civilization 60,000, and the Denuo Civilization 30,000 to 40,000. Which of them hadn't been around for tens of thousands of years?
If Earth really had great value to Space, Lieyang wouldn't be trying to use Earth's core energy to save Lieyang Star. And the only thing Huaxia had that could connect it to the universe's God-level Civilizations was its language—the so-called orthodox God River language system was the National Language.
"It depends on how you see it. No matter how things develop, it'll be a good thing for the Shenhe Civilization as it stands."
"Once Xiong Bing Lian has grown stronger, they'll be a great asset to this universe, to the Angels, and to Shenhe. As for the Void, you can turn a blind eye when it suits you and face it the way Keisha does: don't trust Void creatures, but make use of the Void matter we've discovered."
"Much about the Void is unknown. We don't know whether its true arrival would deal a devastating blow to this universe. Carl's so-called study of the Void isn't about denying the gods' Eternal Life. He wants to turn every civilization in the universe into the Void. That's why he and Keisha are at odds."
Su Xinghe pursed his lips. What could he say? Fine, he could only admit that the big shots were incredible. They all had a point. As a mere Third Generation God Body, he'd better not get involved in their clashes.
Besides, with his status as the Shenhe Prince, there weren't many people in this universe who would dare to lay a hand on him.
"Xinyue, bring your squad to Angel City. We have a mission."
"Little brother, you're my Male God, after all. If you came to the Angel Civilization and went back empty-handed, it would make us lose face."
"Xinyue Squad was my personal guard back in the day. They fought alongside me for thousands of years, and every member has a Third Generation God Body. But don't worry. They won't interfere in Earth's affairs without your orders."
"Taking them to Earth is mainly to make sure you look impressive."
Now that was spoiling him. A woman three thousand years older than him, and he'd practically be set to become a God King. Just one Angel squad, all of them with Third Generation God Bodies, and there wasn't a civilization in the universe that could match it.
He had to admit, Hexi really spoiled him. Queen Holy Keisha's Holy Wings were still Third Generation Super Soldiers, yet Hexi's guards were so powerful that even Angel Yan, the future New King, couldn't command them.
No wonder they said that if even one veteran from the Three Great Legions entered the battlefield, Hua Ye would tremble three times over.
"Queen Hexi, Male God, we're here."
Twelve Silver-haired Angels descended into the back garden and bowed slightly to Hexi and Su Xinghe. Queen Holy Keisha had long since sent word of Su Xinghe and Hexi's relationship to the terminal, so they'd known for some time that their Queen Hexi had a Male God.
"Xinyue, you've been on leave for thousands of years. This time, go with my little brother to Earth and have a look around."
"Death God Karl has set a trap over there, and Morgana may well go, too."
"Of course, your main purpose isn't to deal with Morgana. It's to make sure my little brother looks impressive. If necessary, you can help Angel Yan."
"After all, Morgana and we came from the same era. We have some history with her, more or less. There's no real need for us to fight her."
"Tsk, tsk, little Xinghe. You were only this tall when I first met you. I thought the betrothal was a joke, but you really did become our Prince." Xinyue stepped forward and ruffled Su Xinghe's hair.
As one of Hexi's personal guards, she'd known about the betrothal between the Shenhe Civilization and their Queen. But more than ten thousand years had passed, and the Shenhe Civilization had disappeared in the meantime, so they'd put the matter out of their minds. They hadn't expected to see him again today.
"Okay, you can set off for Earth. I'll return your weapon once I'm done studying it." Hexi smiled over her shoulder and vanished from the back garden.
Su Xinghe took a deep breath. It was finally over. Even with Hexi's King-class Aircraft, the journey would take only three days. Angel Yan, who'd arrived in the meantime, would be traveling with them.
By the time they reached Earth, Xiong Bing Lian would have finished its first round of training not long before.
"Yan, Queen Keisha wants you to go to Earth and capture Liangbing. We'll help if necessary, but you'll have to do most of the work yourself. This is also a test from Holy Keisha."
"We all came from that era. Our not stepping in doesn't mean we don't believe in Queen Holy Keisha's Order of Justice."
"It's just that, unlike you Angels who live under the protection of powerful wings, we have our own understanding of justice."
As Holy Left Wing Guard, Angel Yan ranked below only Queen Holy Keisha and Skybase King Hexi in the Angel Civilization. But she was powerless against these older-generation Angels.
After all, the older-generation Angels were the true core of the Angel Civilization. Those twelve Third Generation God Bodies alone could cripple the Lieyang Civilization if they acted together.
Pan Zhen might seem powerful, but his combat strength was barely that of a Quasi-King, and that was with Stellar Bombardment at his disposal. The Angels weren't afraid of that.
Hexi could wipe out Lieyang's technology in one go. The Angels could do everything Lieyang could, but Lieyang couldn't necessarily do everything the Angels could.
"Understood. So far, we haven't found any trace of Morgana. If the need arises, I hope you seniors will help."
"Yan, have you ever considered what we should do if Morgana shows up on Earth with a Fourth God Body?" Su Xinghe suddenly asked.
Angel Yan frowned. If Morgana really had become Fourth Generation, things would be difficult. The gap between a Third Generation God Body and a Fourth Generation God Body was enormous.
A dozen Third Generation God Bodies couldn't suppress a Fourth Generation God Body. But then she put the thought aside.
"Prince, you're not joking with me, are you? Morgana is so poor that there's no way she could have the resources to develop a Fourth Generation God Body."
"Yan, back in the days of the Super Seminary, Death God Karl and Liangbing were very close. There were even rumors that Death God Karl was in love with her."
"Liangbing may be poor, but that doesn't mean Death God Karl lacks the means. In this universe, the only ones with Fourth-generation Technology are the Angels' Sacred Body and the Fourth-generation Technology in Death God Karl's Great Clock."
"Given their relationship, it wouldn't be surprising if Death God Karl gave her some resources."
