Super God Academy: The Stranger

"What's wrong? Why are you praising me like this all of a sudden?"

Qianmu looked down and saw Hexi staring at him with satisfaction. He asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing, I just feel so much more relaxed with you by my side."

He Xi raised herself up and gently touched Qian Mu's lips, saying something somewhat secretively.

"Hehe~" Qianmu licked his lips and let out a smile that was hard to decipher.

"How's Angel Yan doing?" He Xi adjusted to a more comfortable position and then asked.

She had been busy with the final adjustments to the Void Engine and hadn't paid any attention to Angel Yan's situation.

Now that I've finished my work, it's natural to check on the situation over there.

"Overall, the situation is okay. Most civilizations are cooperating fairly well. As long as we angels don't mess things up, they'll be fine too."

Qianmu briefly explained the situation to Hexi, "However, a small portion of the situation is not so good. I have already communicated with Angel Yan and arranged for them to be punished."

Qianmu then told Hexi about the technological blockade.

"Technological blockade? They can actually pull that off!"

He Xi was merely surprised and interested in the technology blockade, remaining silent about the punishment the two had decided upon.

As the Celestial King, she only deals with technical matters; she doesn't interfere in non-scientific matters unless absolutely necessary.

Since the new Heavenly Blade King and the Heavenly Saint King have already made their decision, she won't object to anything. Doing so would be a major blow to their prestige.

Moreover, she also felt that they should be punished. Even when Holy Keisha was in power, she had disliked these ingrates. They ate the food of the angels and received their protection, but did not contribute a single bit. If Keisha had not stopped her, she would have already unleashed a full-power Heavenly Blade Judgment.

That constant chatter is driving even an angel crazy.

Now that Qianmu is able to take action against these ingrates, He Xi is already being true to her conscience by not wholeheartedly approving of it.

As for the claim that technological blockade is, in some ways, more vicious than direct murder?

Which law of the Justice and Order states that delays in technological progress are not allowed?

Anything not prohibited by law is permissible.

With hands on hips, completely self-assured. [＜(｀^′)＞]

He Xi agreed to this!

"Angels can actually do this too, but it would be too costly and not worth it."

"All we need to do is keep interfering with civilizations' research into the next level of science through the dark dimension, but this not only requires constant monitoring, but also consumes an enormous amount of dark energy, and we can't carry out targeted interference."

When asked about this, Qianmu shook his head. Dark energy is indeed a convenient form of energy, but the loss rate during transmission is far too high. If one or two out of a hundred units of energy are transmitted, it would already be considered highly efficient.

That's why astrocomputers are so difficult to build. Materials are one problem, energy transmission is another, and turning them on would mean the destruction of at least one star, which is an extreme waste.

"But this is still a useful method." He Xi was actually quite satisfied with the technology.

With just a shift in thinking, she was able to conceive of such a bloodless technology that could kill without shedding blood. Qianmu truly deserves to be called the god of the Heavenly King; her scientific research talent is terrifyingly extraordinary.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with such consumption, after all, she had grown up in such an environment and was not surprised by such inefficient energy transfer.

Moreover, dark energy is everywhere in the universe. In their view, it is simply using public resources to achieve their own private purposes. No matter how much is consumed, it belongs to the greater universe. What does it have to do with the individual?

It can only be said that the universes are different and the concepts are vastly different. If the Trisolaran civilization knew that such a civilization existed, it would definitely carry out a great purge before restarting the universe and wipe out these spendthrifts.

"I'll look into this technique when I have time." He Xi's interest in the technology instantly increased, and she said she would definitely make time to study it.

This is why He Xi has maintained a youthful mindset for tens of thousands of years and has always held the title of top research officer.

Interest is the driving force behind success; only by having an interest in the outside world can people maintain their mental health.

Scientific research is He Xi's greatest interest. The process of pursuing the unknown and turning the unknown into the known brings her joy.

"It's yours," Qianmu said lazily.

Let He Xi do the research if she wants; I'll cover for her. The worst outcome for the Angel Civilization is that they'll just run away with their buckets; I've already prepared a backup base.

"Next, Angel Yan will lead the fleets of the Angel Civilization and its subordinate space civilizations to the Milky Way to wage a nebula-level war against the demons."

"Karl will probably release the ancient evil god Hua Ye to distract the angels. Liang Bing is the object of his ten thousand years of affection, so he won't let his goddess get hurt."

At this point, Qian Mu revealed a mocking smile. Karl released Hua Ye to distract the Angelic Civilization, but the first to be destroyed was Morgana, the chief god of the Demonic Civilization.

Karl hadn't expected Hua Ye to pull this stunt. He probably hadn't properly leashed the dog, leaving his goddess, whom he'd been licking for tens of thousands of years, to keep Keisha company.

"Hua Ye was lucky to escape with his life. I should have suggested that Keisha kill him back then."

He Xi thought back to how she had spared Hua Ye's life, but now she was the one who had harmed him instead of killing him.

"Initially, to prevent the male angels from rioting, we exiled the evil god Hua Ye and killed the male angels who had brains. Later, as the situation developed, we no longer cared about Hua Ye's existence, and he has always been honest."

"Unexpectedly, with Keisha down, he seized the opportunity and gained momentum to rise up."

He Xi lamented the unpredictability of life. Hua Ye, whom she had previously disregarded and who was out of touch with the times, seized an opportunity and became a major threat to the angels.

"Hua Ye is gone, but there's still Ye Hua, or even Ye He Hua, Ye Su. All Karl needs is a vicious dog with enough prestige among the male angels. Unless you can eliminate the male angels, there's no solution."

Qianmu patted Hexi's jade-like arm and said softly.

The gender antagonism in the angelic civilization is far too severe. When male angels were in power, they relentlessly oppressed female angels. When the rule of female angels came, they directly demoted male angels to the status of scum and made them a branch of the angelic race.

Unless Keisha reappears and amends the rules, Merlo's Heavenly Court accepts male angels, or Hua Ye regains power and promulgates a new Heavenly Palace order that respects the dignity of female angels, it may take thousands of years for gender conflict to be alleviated.

There is virtually no chance for others to alleviate this situation within ten thousand years; the clash of ideas is not something that can be easily resolved.

It takes generations of subtle influence to slowly change the environment and then affect everyone within it.

However, the Angel Civilization is a civilization composed of long-lived beings. The lifespan of an angel is not as short as a few decades. If a citizen of the Angel race does not suffer any external harm, he or she can easily live for thousands of years.

If one were to accumulate resources over these thousands of years to purchase a life-extending gene serum, then it's uncertain how long one's lifespan would be.
