Youyue: Huh? You mean I...

Let's rewind to a few minutes ago.

A-Zhui and You-Yue followed He-Xi to a quiet guest room. He-Xi gracefully sat down on the sofa and slightly raised her hand to the two young angels who were still standing there.

"Please sit down."

Her voice was calm yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

A-Zhui and You-Yue exchanged a glance, then sat side by side on the sofa opposite He-Xi as instructed, their posture respectful and upright, like students listening attentively to a lecture.

He Xi lightly tapped the coffee table with her fingertips, and an exquisite tea set quietly appeared.

She picked up the teapot and slowly poured tea, and the fragrant aroma of tea immediately filled the room.

"There's no need to be so formal." She pushed two cups of tea in front of them, her gaze lingering for a moment on A-Zhui's tense shoulders.

"At this moment, I am not the Heavenly King of the Celestial Court of Merlo."

Ah-Zhui carefully took the teacup and couldn't help but ask:

"Then why are you here with Liang Bing... and the Apocalypse King? And in this... spirit form?"

Although Youyue did not speak, her focused gaze revealed the same question.

He Xi lowered her eyes and gazed at the tea leaves floating in the cup, a gentle smile appearing on her lips.

"It all started with a stubborn mortal." She looked up at the window, her gaze seemingly piercing through the barriers of time and space.

"With his irreplaceable sincerity, he brought us to his side and showed us the possibility of changing our destiny."

A-Zhui and You-Yue exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

They were not yet able to fully comprehend the deeper meaning hidden in the words of the Heavenly King.

"However, there is another, more important reason why Liang Bing and I are here at this moment."

He Xi's expression turned serious, and her posture unconsciously straightened a bit.

"As you may have noticed, the monster that appeared yesterday had extremely unusual energy fluctuations, and it couldn't even be detected in the Dark Dimension."

She paused, then added solemnly, "Or rather, it simply doesn't exist in the cognitive system of the Dark Dimension."

A-Zhui and You-Yue's expressions immediately turned serious.

Indeed, the monster they encountered yesterday was something they had never seen before in the known universe.

"That monster is called the Evil Ginseng Beast, a type of creature known as the 'Superpowered Beast'."

He Xi's voice was clear and firm, "It is not a native species of this world."

!!!

A-Zhui and You-Yue both opened their eyes wide at the same time, almost doubting that they had heard correctly.

What did the Heavenly King just say?

Not a creature of this world!?

"Could it be... a void creature!?" Ah Zhui blurted out.

"It's not emptiness." He Xi gently shook her head, interrupting their speculation.

"I cannot reveal the specific origins at this time. The causes and effects involved are far beyond your imagination."

A-Zhui and You-Yue exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement. Since the Heavenly King had made his decision, they, as his subordinates, should naturally obey.

"We've shown ourselves here because we hope you, Youyue, can complete a mission." Hexi's gaze fell quietly on Youyue's face.

Youyue unconsciously straightened her back and her fingertips tightened slightly.

"I want you to secretly contact your old friends from the time of the Three Kings, and... all the older generation of angels who have retreated to various parts of the universe."

Youyue suddenly opened her eyes wide, almost thinking she had misheard.

This task is far too heavy!

Although he considers himself a senior figure, should such a mission concerning the survival of civilization really be entrusted to her?

All she wanted was to find her dream man and live a peaceful and happy life...

How did they suddenly turn into cattle and horses?!

Ignoring Youyue's shocked reaction, "Huh? You mean me?", He Xi continued:

"Due to certain special reasons, we are not yet able to meet ourselves in 'this era'. Therefore, this task must be entrusted to you."

She turned her gaze to A-Zhui: "A-Zhui, you need to assist from the sidelines and provide cover for Youyue."

"The future safety of the entire Angel Civilization, and even the known universe, now rests on your shoulders, Youyue."

Youyue gave a wry smile: "Your Highness, King Tianji... you really think highly of me."

He Xi chuckled softly, "Alright, alright, I was just kidding. We haven't seen each other in a long time, so let's lighten the mood."

Upon seeing this, He Xi suddenly smiled faintly:

"Relax, I was just joking. After all, we haven't seen each other in a long time, so we should lighten the mood."

Youyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, her tense shoulders just relaxing.

But when she saw He Xi's expression suddenly turn serious, her heart jumped into her throat again.

No, sister, can't we change our faces without getting pimples?

He Xi's expression was calm, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"But what I just said about the mission is absolutely true. The only difference is that everything you do is ultimately to assist Xiaoyu."

"My idol!?" A-Zhui and You-Yue exclaimed in unison, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"That's right." He Xi's voice carried an undeniable certainty.

"Only Xiaoyu possesses the power to turn the tide. He was born extraordinary, destined to be king, and will surely be crowned king."

Her gaze swept over the two younger colleagues, her words clear and distinct:

"What I want you to do is to demonstrate the loyalty that the Angelic Civilization offers to its future king. It is the first decision we made to follow him."

Youyue took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly, yet unusually firm:

"I understand. For my idol, for the future of the Angel Civilization... I accept this mission."

He Xi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, your Tianji King isn't that capitalist Keisha."

A-Zhui and You-Yue dared not utter a sound.

I'm afraid you're the only one in the entire angelic civilization who would dare to say that about Queen Keisha.

"If you want a horse to run, how can you not feed it grass?" He Xi said with a smile.

She directly retrieved a vial of reagent, 'Angel's Heart,' based on the 'Light of Hope' gene modification given to Cang Yu.

As for where the resources came from, you asked me?

Ha, do you think Cang Yu's Holy Spirit power is fake? It's just a matter of moving a finger, besides, there are dice too.

With several attempts a day for strengthening and duplication, to be honest, Cang Yu is now terrifyingly strong.

"This is 'Angel Heart's' brand new super gene, and it doesn't reject those of you who possess the angel gene at all."

"After you use it, as long as you don't unleash your genetic power to its fullest extent, or use the part of your power that doesn't belong to the angel in front of the tomboy or 'me,' there's no risk of being exposed."

"It will greatly enhance your strength; even if you don't have a fourth-generation divine body, you'll still be no weaker than a fourth-generation one."

Youyue accepted the vial of reagent, which shimmered with starlight, with both hands, a ripple of emotion welling up in her eyes. "Thank you for your grace, King Tianji."

He Xi waved her hand gently, but her gaze drifted towards the deepening twilight outside the window:

"Let's hurry and integrate; I have a feeling... a storm is coming."
