Chapter 209: Integrating Civilization: Ji Lan

Melo Star.

Sunset light filtered through the cloud sea, casting dappled shadows on the study floor.

Kesa stepped into the study, walking over the tiny patches of light.

She knelt on one knee, hand over her chest: “Father.”

The old lord stood by the window, his back to his daughter, gazing outward.

Hearing her voice, he turned slowly; his wrinkled face looked even older in the sunset: “Have Itachi arranged things with Rojie?”

“Everything is arranged.”

Kesa rose and said: “Their fleet is docked at South Harbor; supplies are being transferred.”

“Rojie promised to rest for one day, then depart and return to Tiangong.”

The old lord gestured for her to sit.

Since Huaye’s rule had not yet fully reached Melo Star’s core, the Tiangong order he imposed had not been fully enforced here.

Especially for the old lord, who had his only child late in life—Kesa alone.

Thus, on Melo Star, female angels had not been entirely oppressed.

Moreover, even within Tiangong, noble-born female angels were not the same as common ones.

“Have Itachi confirmed the details?”

The old lord asked: “About Huaye’s death, and this sudden emergence of Rojie.”

Kesa replied: “The wreckage of Huaye’s flagship, Tiangong, has been found, but his body remains missing.”

“However, we can confirm his main fleet was annihilated.”

“Tiangong is now under He Xi’s control.”

“According to intelligence, she has close ties with Rojie; both were scholars of Tiangong, likely accomplices in this coup.”

“Moreover, Huaye’s most capable deputy, Sumali, is dead.”

The old lord fell silent for a moment.

“I never thought, after a thousand years of peace, turmoil would rise again.”

“I wonder what changes this new ruler, Rojie, will bring to the angelic civilization.”

Here, the old lord suddenly asked: “Kesa, do Itachi think Melo Star has a chance to take over Tiangong?”

Kesa spoke: “Rumors say Rojie defeated Huaye not by turning Huaye’s subordinates, nor by gathering large forces.”

The old lord blinked in surprise: “Was it merely a surprise attack?”

“But wasn’t there evidence of many shipwrecks, proof of a brutal battle?”

Kesa nodded: “Yes, there was indeed a battle—but not a conventional fleet engagement.”

“Rojie seemingly accomplished all of this alone, using only his own physical strength.”

“Moreover, according to the information I gathered, Huaye had secretly led his fleet to Melo Star.”

The study fell into silence; the old lord’s eyes were filled with shock.

He did not even care about Huaye’s original designs on Melo Star.

“Alone, he destroyed an entire fleet?”

“Is this even an angel?”

Kesa affirmed: “Yes. According to intelligence, Rojie accomplished this massacre single-handedly on the open battlefield.”

The old lord sank into his chair.

As an angel who had experienced war, he understood better than anyone the combat power of a Tiangong fleet.

“This is impossible. How could an angel achieve such a thing?”

Kesa offered a hypothesis: “Could it be new gene technology?”

“According to intelligence, Rojie is a Tiangong scholar who led multiple gene projects and completed research on second-generation angel genes.”

“Perhaps he has secretly developed third-generation angel genes, granting him this power.”

The old lord sighed deeply: “That is indeed possible.”

“Technological breakthroughs bring qualitative changes in power.”

“Now, a single angel can destroy an entire armed fleet.”

…

Rojie returned to Tiangong; He Xi came to greet him.

She watched him approach, a smile tugging at her lips: “Rojie, Itachi won.”

Rojie laughed: “No—we won.”

These words caused He Xi’s pupils to tremble slightly.

She turned her gaze away, toward the rebuilding structures of Tiangong; her ears faintly flushed pink.

He Xi composed herself and said: “Huaye’s remaining loyalists still refuse to surrender and continue resisting.”

“Including three armies stationed across the Angel Nebula.”

Rojie chuckled: “Just ants.”

“Give me three days—they won’t leave even a speck of dust.”

He Xi rolled her eyes, yet couldn’t suppress the smile on her lips.

After all, she had already gathered intelligence on Rojie single-handedly slaughtering the fleet; she had full confidence in his strength.

With absolute power, eliminating Huaye’s remnants was not difficult.

As proven, Rojie’s demolition efficiency was remarkably fast.

With his strength, he quickly reorganized the angelic civilization and established a new order.

The main fleet of the resistance was torn apart by Rojie’s brute charge; terrified remnants bowed in submission.

The entire process went far smoother than expected; within less than half a year, the last resistance was utterly eradicated—not even a trace remained.

After settling everything, Rojie swept Huaye’s Tiangong order into the dustbin of history.

Yet he did not copy Kesa’s Justice Order from the original; instead, he created his own angelic order.

Compared to Huaye’s Tiangong order, Rojie’s angelic order did not oppress female angels—they no longer served as living weapons.

But unlike Kesa’s Justice Order, Rojie’s angelic order did not eliminate all male angels, leaving only females.

Male angels no longer had to be collectively laid off and wander the universe; everyone earned their keep by their own merit.

The new angelic order primarily strengthened centralization, concentrating the entire civilization’s power.

Beyond that, Rojie no longer called himself king—he directly proclaimed himself the Angel God.

Though Rojie still lacked a divine body, his power was nearly equal to that of a third-generation super soldier with one.

Moreover, as a pure physical stat monster, Rojie possessed a certain innocent beauty.

Soon, under Rojie’s leadership and within the angelic order, every angel—regardless of gender—began gradually upgrading their own genes.

Furthermore, the entire angelic civilization increased resource investment into researching dark dimension technology.

Thus, three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Ji Lan arrived at the angelic civilization.

Angel City.

As Ji Lan’s ship slowly landed, Rojie and He Xi and others went to greet him.

Rojie extended his hand to shake Ji Lan’s: “Principal Ji Lan, I’ve long heard of your Super God Academy’s fame.”

Ji Lan frowned in confusion.

He had not expected Rojie to know of him.

Yet after the destruction of the Shenhe civilization, he had traveled the universe with the Great Clock.

And thousands of years ago, he had come to the Deno system and founded the Super God Academy.

Perhaps Rojie, as the god of this angelic civilization, had encountered news of the Deno civilization and learned of his existence.
