Super God Academy: Kabuto

North Star is slowly but steadily recovering from the ashes of war. Lin Yu, He Xi, and Keisha stand on high ground, overlooking the gradually healing city.

"Next, they will wipe out the remaining Taotie within China's borders, and then the flames of war will truly spread to the stars," Lin Yu calmly stated the upcoming steps.

Meanwhile, in the strategic conference hall of Skyblade No. 7, the atmosphere once again became tense. Liu Chuang, Ge Xiaolun, Lena, and several high-ranking angels gathered together. After Uncle Huang, who was presiding over the meeting, gestured for everyone to take their seats, Angel Lingxi began her intelligence briefing:

"This morning, through the information network of Tianren-7, we discovered another mysterious ship of unknown origin near Proxima Centauri. According to data analysis transmitted back by the Angel Beacon planted in the Proxima Centauri region, they belong to the Triangular Civilization. However, unlike the forms of civilization we are familiar with, they do not seem to have a unified 'civilization entity' similar to our understanding. Importantly, they actively sent messages to the beacon, attempting to communicate."

"What kind of communication?" Uncle Huang looked at the angels, his brows furrowing slightly.

Lingxi brought up the data panel: "The gist is that there is a planet called CYc in the Proxima Centauri system, where a primitive civilization in the Stone Age exists. However, the planet has an ocean coverage of 66%, and the Triangular Sphere claims to want to claim it for themselves."

Uncle Huang's gaze met that of Ge Xiaolun, Ling Feng, and the others, and he said in a deep voice, "In other words, this is a... standard interstellar invasion."

"This is clearly considered an evil act in our angelic code," Lingxi added firmly.

At this moment, Zhi Xin stood up, her eyes filled with a sense of justice and mission: "I hope Earth will support us in negotiating with the Triangles! As a Guardian Angel, I cannot stand idly by and watch one civilization invade another weak and defenseless one right before my eyes!"

Angel, standing to the side, crossed her arms and spoke even more directly: "Little Zhixin, don't get so worked up. If you ask me, I'd just take a few of my sisters over there and take care of them. Why waste my breath?"

Uncle Huang and Lingfeng gestured for Zhixin to sit down first. Uncle Huang looked at Lingfeng: "Chief Lingfeng, what's your opinion on this matter?"

Lingfeng took a deep breath and began to elaborate on its profound historical background: "This involves the distant war of physical forms." Her voice transported everyone back to the ancient past, "About 50,000 years ago, the Shenhe Civilization waged a decisive war against the Triangular Forms and the Beast Forms. Most life originated in the ocean, some remaining there and some migrating to the continent. The most intelligent life that the ocean could nurture was the Triangular Form. On Earth, dolphins are a typical example, with their brains being more than 5% more developed than humans."

She continued, "In historical records, the largest Triangular Civilization in the Divine River Galaxy clashed with the Divine River Civilization due to a conflict in their directions of intellectual evolution. Ultimately, despite the Triangular Civilization's higher level of brain development, it was defeated, and the Divine River Galaxy was named after it. Later, the Divine River Civilization and the Angel Civilization intersected and discovered that they both belonged to the same intelligent form—the Divine River Entity. Thus, the two civilizations united and launched a war of forms that affected the known universe, ultimately establishing the Divine River Entity, represented by us, as the dominant form in the known universe."

"Wow, our physiques are pretty imposing," Ge Xiaolun couldn't help but tease.

"That's not the case," Zhi Xin immediately corrected earnestly, "The war of forms is not the same as a war of power. The evolutionary direction of the Triangular Spheres is to conquer nature as their ultimate goal. The gods and angels chose to spread various concepts of kindness and justice, as well as the wisdom of conquering nature and mastering life, to all the worlds of the Divine River Spheres. It was in this war that the Triangular Spheres were at a disadvantage, and Queen Keisha, with her powerful strength and just order, was revered as the supreme god of the Divine River Sphere world."

"But the Triangular Civilization also has its areas of victory and dominance," Ling Feng returned to reality and offered a suggestion, "I believe this matter is of great importance and full of unknowns. I suggest that Ge Xiaolun and Zhixin go ahead as representatives to investigate and negotiate."

Uncle Huang finally made the decision, his tone calm and firm: "Regardless of what the future holds, since our Earth has reached this historical juncture, avoidance is not an option. We must actively participate in these cosmic affairs and shoulder the responsibilities that come with entering interstellar civilization. I agree with Chief Lingfeng's suggestion. Ge Xiaolun, Zhixin, this negotiation mission is entrusted to you."

Just as Ge Xiaolun and Zhixin were on their way to negotiate with Proxima Centauri, an unusual ripple appeared in the quiet courtyard of North Star.

The mysterious man in the black trench coat appeared silently, his gaze as unfathomable as ever.

"Are we going?" Lin Yu asked calmly, as if he had expected it.

The man in the black trench coat didn't answer. His gaze passed over Lin Yu and landed directly on He Xi. His eyes were deep, as if confirming something, or perhaps conveying some silent message. After a moment, he raised his hand and made a sweeping motion in the air. A portal, far more magnificent than Lin Yu's light screen and shimmering with seven-colored light, suddenly opened.

"Come in with me." His voice left no room for argument.

Lin Yu took a deep breath, turned around, and gave He Xi a tight hug.

"Wait for me." His promise was brief and firm.

He Xi nodded gently in his arms. Though her icy blue eyes held a thousand thoughts, they ultimately condensed into a single encouraging and doting word: "Kid, keep it up."

Lin Yu released her and resolutely stepped into the seven-colored light curtain.

Just as the light screen was about to shrink and dissipate, He Xi's figure appeared in front of it like a ghost. She subconsciously reached out, trying to grab something—however, her fingers passed right through the light without any hindrance, as if she were only touching a phantom projection.

"Tsk, this..." He Xi frowned slightly, feeling the lingering spatial fluctuations at her fingertips that were beyond her comprehension, a hint of surprise and deep thought flashing in her eyes. The level of this teleportation portal far exceeded her understanding.

Mysterious Space: "Winter Cherry Blossoms" and the Fall

Behind the light curtain was not the training ground as expected, but a more abstract space, seemingly composed of pure concepts. The man in the black trench coat and Lin Yu stood on a void.

"This space," the man spoke, his voice echoing in the void, "will be freely accessible to you once you return. It is the entrance and passageway to a small world."

As if suddenly remembering something interesting, a rare, very faint smile appeared on his lips as he added:

"You can call it... 'Winter Cherry Blossom'."

"Over there," he said, his smile fading, his tone returning to its usual calm yet meaningful tone, "Just be yourself."

Lin Yu still had many questions that needed to be answered, and was about to speak

Without warning, the "ground" beneath his feet transformed into a bottomless black hole, and a powerful suction force instantly pulled him in, leaving him no time to react!

"Hey! Wait a minute—!"

Before he could finish speaking, he plummeted downwards, weightless. The black opening above him closed rapidly, and the last thing he saw was the void and the blurry black figure.

A new adventure, or rather, a real trial, officially began amidst this sudden loss of control.
