Attention

Angel Nebula, Merlo Heavenly Court.

Inside a luxurious palace within the Merlo Heavenly Court, a group of beautiful women were discussing something. Unlike ordinary people, they bore a pair of sacred, pure white wings on their backs. These were the most beautiful beings in the known universe—the angels.

"Reporting to the Queen, the Taotie of the Styx Galaxy are gathering in the Chi Wu Star System. Additionally, I have discovered a group of Super Gene holders currently on Planet Earth. Among them are the Power of the Galaxy, Sunlight, God-Slaying Power, and one... interesting human. It's as if all the gods have converged." Angel Yan spoke to the angel seated on the throne at the center of the palace.

"Oh? A convergence of gods? I recall Taikong passing through there once and establishing a Super Seminary. They've developed quite quickly. That human you mentioned—do you have any information on him?" asked Angel Queen Keisha from her throne.

"Yes, my Queen." With that, she transmitted Chen Yi's file to her.

"Hmm? His genes are very powerful. If properly nurtured, he will surely have a place in the universe in the future," Queen Keisha said.

Angel Yan was inwardly shaken. She hadn't expected the Queen to hold Chen Yi in such high regard.

"Yan, what do you think?" Queen Keisha said with a hint of teasing.

"Huh?" Yan was confused, not understanding why the Queen suddenly asked this question.

"His genes have a very high compatibility with yours. What do you think? You're seven thousand years old now. Be a bit more mature and find a male god who won't rot into the dirt," Queen Keisha continued to tease.

"Huh? But... he's still too young." Yan found an excuse, as she wasn't yet ready to embrace her other half.

"In a million years, he'll only be a tiny bit younger than you, won't he? You can observe him for a thousand years first," Keisha added, truly worrying over Yan's lifelong matter.

"A warrior should not seek to live a million years," Yan said seriously. She always felt that dying a tragic, beautiful death in battle against demons was the true final resting place of an angel warrior.

"True love will be eternal."

"Whoosh!" At dawn, Chen Yi opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. His entire body was now covered in something like black mud. This was the result of tempering his body with the Power of Stars; impurities were expelled through his capillaries.

Although he hadn't slept all night, he felt full of energy. In his previous life, he had the habit of replacing sleep with cultivation, so he felt no discomfort. Instead, the night of tempering had brought his body to the level of a first-generation Divine Body. He now felt his whole body brimming with explosive power, though this was merely an illusion from the sudden surge in strength.

Chen Yi stood up and walked toward the bathroom, planning to take a shower first.

After about thirty minutes, Chen Yi came out of the bathroom. He wasn't wearing a shirt, and the perfect lines of his muscles exuded masculine charm.

"Ding-dong!"

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Chen Yi put on his clothes and went to open the door. When he opened it, he saw a man and a woman—the man in a suit, the woman in a red leather jacket.

"You... need something?" Chen Yi asked, puzzled. He didn't remember meeting these two before.

At that, the man took a red National Security Bureau ID from his suit and said, "We're from the National Security Bureau. Can we come in and talk?"

Chen Yi glanced at the red ID and said, "Please come in!"

The two entered the room. Seeing that the room was small but very tidy, they couldn't help but feel a favorable impression. They then moved to the sofa in the living room to discuss business.

"May I ask what you two want with me?" Chen Yi got straight to the point.

"Mr. Chen, hello! You can call me A Jie, and this is Qiang Wei. We previously used a satellite to observe your performance at the airport, Mr. Chen. For that, we'd like to express our gratitude!" A Jie said.

"No need for thanks. I just did what I felt I should do. But I doubt you came just to thank me. Is there something else?" Chen Yi stated confidently.

"Mr. Chen is a smart man, so I won't beat around the bush. I think you also know you're extraordinary, so what I want to ask is: are you willing to join Super Seminary and become a Super Soldier dedicated to protecting our country and home?" A Jie said with respect, as Chen Yi's spirit alone was worthy of admiration, regardless of whether he chose to join.

After hearing A Jie's words, Chen Yi fell into thought. His main concern was whether joining the academy would be beneficial to him, and he didn't like having his freedom restricted. Still, he asked, "What can Super Seminary teach me? I already have my own training plan. Joining or not doesn't make much difference to me."

Hearing this, A Jie quickly said, "Mr. Chen, Super Seminary was built specifically for Super Gene warriors like you. There are other Super Gene warriors like yourself inside. The academy also has various resources and cultural knowledge to offer you. If you're willing to join, I can fight for the maximum benefits for you. What do you think, Mr. Chen?"

Hearing A Jie's words, Chen Yi was somewhat tempted. After all, going it alone to protect Earth would be very difficult, and joining came with various advantages. Weighing the pros and cons, Chen Yi decided, "Alright, I agree to join."

"Great! Then please prepare, Mr. Chen. We'll send a car to pick you up in the afternoon. So, Mr. Chen, we'll take our leave now." With that, he stood up and walked out the door with Qiang Wei.

As soon as they were outside, Qiang Wei said, "I really don't get what's so special about him, that you had to drag me along too. And you're going to fight for maximum benefits for him? Can you even get that?"

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on A Jie's face. He said, "I said that to recruit him. If I didn't promise him some perks, he wouldn't have agreed so easily." The two of them got into their car and drove off, as they still had a few more people to convince.
