Merlot Heavenly Court, within the Angel King's Palace, Kaisha had just hung up a call with Angel Yan when she received a communication from her good friend and confidante, Hexi.
Kaisha answered the call, and before she could speak, she heard Hexi's voice, tinged with urgency.
"Kaisha, are you sure the information you sent is true?"
A smile flickered across Kaisha's lips. Hexi hadn't sounded this anxious in a long time, and Kaisha found herself feeling a touch nostalgic.
"Answer me quickly! Kaisha!"
"Of course! Hexi, you know I wouldn't lie to you about something like this!"
Kaisha shook her head, though she wasn't angry at Hexi's attitude.
"So... these two people, this man named Su Luo, and that girl Akashi... they aren't from our known universe? Meaning... they're Void creatures?"
Having received an explanation from Kaisha, Hexi became less agitated than before.
"The conclusion is obvious, isn't it?"
Kaisha didn't give a yes or no answer. After all, it was still speculation on both their parts. However, all the evidence pointed to Su Luo and Akashi not being from the known universe! As for whether they were Void creatures, Kaisha wasn't sure!
"What are you going to do?"
Hexi calmed herself down and then asked Kaisha.
"I've already asked Angel Yan to stay there and observe them. After all... Karl has too much of a head start in Void research. We can't be sure if Su Luo and Akashi were summoned by Karl through some means."
"Of course, to prevent them from having accidentally entered the known universe, rather than being summoned by Karl as I suspect, I had Yan mask their Dark Plane information to avoid them being discovered by others."
Hexi didn't voice any objections to this. Instead, she inquired about the subsequent actions.
"Kaisha, what if it's confirmed that Karl summoned them?"
Kaisha narrowed her eyes.
"Then... we'll have to reassess Karl! If he really did it, then he might have delved too deep into Void research, and the Angel Civilization might be in for a period of instability!"
Hexi remained noncommittal, continuing her questioning.
"Kaisha, you know what I'm going to ask. I don't care what you're going to do with the Angel Legion next. I care about these two people! If Karl summoned them, how are you going to deal with them?"
In response to Hexi's persistent questioning, Kaisha blinked.
"Deal with them? We're certainly not giving them back to Karl. If Karl summoned them, either his technology is lacking and he didn't pinpoint the location correctly, or he deliberately sent them over to distract us."
"Regardless, the Angels don't care. Since they've appeared before us, we're the ones in charge! At worst, I'll have Yan capture them and bring them back to your lab for experiments!"
Hexi let out a snort, not objecting, implying a degree of acceptance.
"What if Karl didn't summon them?"
Hexi continued to ask.
"If Karl didn't summon them, it means they entered the known universe by mistake. Since they weren't summoned by Karl, that grim reaper who shares a stench with evil, our attitude towards them should be a bit better!"
"So?"
"Well... Hexi, what do you think of this Su Luo?"
A smile played on Kaisha's lips as she asked teasingly.
"What do I think of him?"
Hexi retorted with a strange tone. She guessed what Kaisha was planning. She was too familiar with that tone. Kaisha's habit of playing matchmaker had struck again!
"How do you see him, as a male god?"
"I'd look at him standing, sitting, or lying down."
Kaisha chuckled and shook her head, unbothered by Hexi's teasing.
"Just now, I used Su Luo's genetic information to perform a match with you..."
"Old woman, you..."
Before Kaisha could finish, Hexi, understanding her meaning, got agitated and immediately retorted. Kaisha didn't give her a chance to finish.
"Hexi, I know you're anxious, but don't be. Let me finish!"
Without waiting for Hexi's reply, Kaisha continued.
"The gene matching data shows excellent results, even exceeding my imagination! This is the first time in many years that I've seen such a high matching data!"
As she spoke, Kaisha sent the matching data she had just performed for Hexi to her.
Hexi glanced at it: 86.3%.
The gene matching system was something Kaisha had asked Hexi to create. As its creator, Hexi believed she knew how high this data truly was.
For previous Angels, a match of over 60% was already considered high!
"So? Old woman, are you planning to use me to implement your marriage alliance scheme? Do you really want to marry me off that badly?"
Hexi's tone was somewhat exasperated. She just wanted to conduct an experiment, but this old woman wanted her to fall into it completely!
"Hexi, this is also for the future of the Angel Civilization! Besides, you've been single for over thirty thousand years, it's time you found love to nourish your body and mind!"
"Old woman, we're in the same boat. You've been single for over thirty thousand years, and so have I! Why don't you try matching yourself? Why don't you contribute to the future of the Angel Civilization?"
"As the King of the Angel Civilization, the King who guides the Angels, the Angel Queen who likes to play matchmaker, you wouldn't be afraid when it comes to yourself, would you?"
Hexi's tone was laced with sarcasm and inexplicable encouragement.
"Hexi, you don't need to provoke me. You know I won't fall for it!"
"Heh!"
Hexi ignored her and quietly began matching Kaisha herself. As the creator of the matching system, bypassing Kaisha to perform the matching was too easy!
Soon, the matching data came out. Looking at the data, a smile appeared on Hexi's lips.
"Heh, Old Woman, take a look!"
With that, Hexi sent the matching data to Kaisha.
Kaisha glanced at the data Hexi sent and blinked.
"Old Woman, you're stunned, aren't you? You're even higher than me! Don't you like to use this data to make a point? Then now, you should contribute yourself too! For the future of the Angel Civilization!"
Hexi's tone was mocking, but Kaisha didn't react much. Instead, she frowned, comparing the matching data of herself and Hexi.
Her compatibility with Hexi was 86.3%, and her compatibility with herself was 87.1%.
This was strange! It was really strange!
"Stop smiling, Hexi, don't you find it strange?"
"What, the matching data is frighteningly high?"
"Exactly!"
"What's so strange about that? After all, they might come from outside this world! The known universe is vast, but due to the influence of the Superseminary back then, almost all civilizations developed their Super Gene research based on the Superseminary's foundation. Even with different focuses, their fundamentals are similar! Not to mention anything else, just the three major God-Making Genes. Although they are now distributed on Earth and Lieyang, which one of them doesn't have the Superseminary's foundation?"
"Didn't the Angels also conduct joint research with the Superseminary back then?"
"And this Su Luo, we've determined he's from outside the known universe, which means his genes haven't been influenced by the Superseminary! Gene diversity is an important part of the matching system. What's there to be confused about? If you don't believe me, try again. Angel Yan, Angel Leng, Angel Zhui... including my little Zhixin, try anyone!"
"I can tell you clearly, Kaisha, the younger the Angel, the higher the compatibility with this Su Luo! Because the genes of the new generation of Angels are becoming homogenized! Don't think that you spend all day finding 'gods' for your subordinate Angels across the universe. With the Superseminary's influence, the 'gods' you find from the easternmost part of the known universe have similar gene data to those from the westernmost part!"
"Because what the Superseminary taught them back then was the same. Only the top God-Making Civilizations managed to forge their own paths and make slight changes, but not many. And crucially, these civilizations wouldn't let their 'gods' enter into marriage alliances with Angels!"
"In other words, strictly speaking, all the Super Gene warriors of the Shenhe Body Civilization in the entire known universe, influenced by the Superseminary, are closely related! Therefore, the gene compatibility has always been low! The 'gods' with high compatibility with Angel genes are merely those whose blood relationship is slightly more distant among the close relatives..."
(Hexi: The Old Woman wants to marry me off? If that's the case, I need to prepare some dowry! What should I choose as a dowry? I've decided, I'll choose the Old Woman, along with her subordinates and the entire Merlot Heavenly Court!)
