GA: Chapter 97: The Sacred Knowledge Treasury — A Startlingly High Compatibility Result
At that, Hexi let out a quiet sigh.
It wasn't as if she didn't want to take a break — but she'd have to wait until she'd raised a qualified successor first.
Zixin was her most satisfying student, but still far too inexperienced — and far too naive. There was still a long road ahead before she'd be ready to take Hexi's place.
After the Three Queens had rebuilt the angel civilization, each of them had carried her own responsibility.
The Celestial Blade Queen handled the suppression of the universe — she was the angel civilization's sword against the outside world, and Sacred Kesha had fulfilled that role beautifully. Once the title of King of Gods · Sacred Kesha had spread across the cosmos, not a single petty power had dared provoke the angel civilization again.
The name of the angels had reached every civilization in the known universe.
Kesha was the Angel King — but in her own heart, she was still the Celestial Blade Queen.
The Celestial Base Queen was the angel civilization's foundation, its bedrock. Everything the civilization had achieved could not be separated from Hexi's research.
Within the Elysian Realm, Hexi's standing was second only to Sacred Kesha — but in Kesha's eyes, Hexi mattered more than herself.
As for the Celestial Revelation Queen... she was meant to represent the wisdom of the angels, offering guidance across every facet of the civilization's development, helping it grow in the right direction.
But it was a pity. Because of the Void, Liang Bing had walked a path that diverged entirely from theirs.
Sacred Kesha opposed the Void — but more than that, she opposed their endless push to spread knowledge of the Void to every corner of the universe. The panic that would trigger could deal a devastating blow to the development of civilizations across the cosmos. Liang Bing saw it differently.
She wanted to share that knowledge, that philosophy, with every civilization in existence.
But she had never truly reckoned with the consequences — or perhaps she believed that the fear of Void civilization would accelerate the growth of others, producing more gods and increasing the odds of resistance.
Different philosophies. Different paths. That much was only natural.
Even if she could do it all over again, Sacred Kesha would make the same choice.
"Speaking of which — Hikari mentioned someone interesting to me."
"Someone the Earth itself has taken notice of. Someone who will, without question, become a god."
As Kesha spoke, she found herself thinking of Bai Xuan — the one Hikari had brought up. She wondered how Hikari's guidance had been going.
Tremendous power without the right mindset to hold it — and a person became a slave to that power.
And then there was the bond with his planet: the stronger the beings on that planet grew, the stronger he became alongside them.
Setting the angel civilization aside entirely — his potential already surpassed Hikari's by a wide margin.
"Oh?"
Hexi's eyes lit up, and she smiled with obvious amusement.
"Well, well. Taken a liking to him, have you?"
"He sounds like a decent match for Hikari too. You're having Hikari spend time with him — don't tell me you're trying to get her to bring home an otherworldly catch?"
"..."
"The thought had crossed my mind."
Kesha nodded. Compared to the Galaxy Power, it was fairly clear that the people within that platform suited Hikari far better.
"But the data we've collected so far is too sparse — incomplete. Without running it through the Knowledge Treasury, I can't say I'm confident."
"???"
"You're doing this again."
Hexi stared at her, exasperated.
"That thing is completely unreliable. You did the same thing with Elysia, and then again with Hikari and the Galaxy Power."
"Forget it, forget it."
"I don't care about the rest — but don't you dare do this with Zixin."
Kesha didn't argue, but she didn't agree either.
The Knowledge Treasury stood at the apex of the angel civilization's computational power. In the known universe, only the Clockwork of Time surpassed its processing capacity. With that level of calculation behind it, its results were inevitably more accurate than simply following feelings or stumbling into connection by chance.
In terms of mystical significance, computational power was not unlike the Time Stone — it too could serve as a window into possible futures. It simply demanded an enormous amount of data and processing to do so. The Knowledge Treasury had both.
Turning the thought over, Kesha's curiosity flared on impulse. She fed the partial data she had on Bai Xuan into the system alongside Tenshi Hikari's data and ran the calculation.
"96%?"
Kesha blinked, genuinely surprised.
To put that in perspective — the highest result when she'd previously matched Hikari with the Galaxy Power had been 87%.
Was it the lack of data? Or was there something unusual about Bai Xuan specifically?
If this was accurate... Hikari might actually manage to bring home an otherworldly find after all.
"Hey, hey, hey — I was literally just talking about you."
Hexi stared at her, speechless. Fine, go ahead and run it — but you're doing it right in front of me? Do I, the Celestial Base Queen, have no dignity in this room?
Though... 96%?
That had to be the highest result on record.
If Hikari and that person matched at 96%, then what about little Zixin?
Curiosity got the better of Hexi. She opened the Knowledge Treasury and swapped Tenshi Hikari's data out for Zixin's.
"98%?"
"Is this thing broken?"
The two of them stared at each other. The previous highest had only ever been somewhere in the 80-something percent range — and now, suddenly, two results above 90% had appeared back to back, both absurdly high.
Then, like two people who'd just discovered a new toy, they started swapping in data for every angel they could think of and running the matches one after another.
"..."
Neither of them could quite say how many entries they'd gone through — but the lowest result in the entire batch had still come in at 89%, using Ange's data.
"I'm starting to think it actually is broken."
Kesha rubbed her temple.
For the compatibility to run this high against so many different angels simultaneously, it meant that whatever data she'd entered for Bai Xuan contained something that resonated with angels on a fundamental level.
It was difficult to believe that someone from another world could align this deeply with the angel race.
As for the possibility that the Knowledge Treasury was genuinely malfunctioning — that was so unlikely that neither of them truly meant it. It was just the only way to express how staggered they felt.
"The highest match right now is Zixin — so what are you doing, you old schemer, why are you putting in my data and—"
Kesha had barely started to object when Hexi's hands moved faster, and the Knowledge Treasury returned a number that left both of them in silence.
99%.
"I'm starting to feel like this has stopped being about Tenshi Hikari, and started being about something that concerns the entire angel race."
Hexi looked at the figure before her, then looked at Kesha.
"Tsk tsk tsk. After more than thirty thousand years, Kesha — your destined one has finally arrived."
"An otherworldly one, at that. And over thirty thousand years your junior."
"Though it doesn't matter, does it? By your own logic — in another million years, you'd only be older than him by a rounding error."
"Ha — hahahahaha!"
Even Hexi couldn't hold back her laughter. Given that so many other angels had already returned such high compatibility scores, it had been nearly impossible for Kesha to land low — but she never could have guessed the result would come in higher even than little Zixin's.
99%!
Never mind Hikari and Zixin — this right here was Kesha's love story, wasn't it?
"..."
Kesha looked at Hexi with a perfectly blank expression.
Truthfully, she was a little rattled.
99%?
That was almost inconceivable. Across the entire known universe, it would be nearly impossible to find two people with a compatibility this high.
