Extraordinary pedigree

Terrali 1591.1.30.

Heaven·Unknown Land.

Third Floor·Belia.

This place is called "the world of creation", which is the first step of the transition from the infinite light of the omnipotent to the perceptible and finite world.

In Belia, the divine light is no longer an untouchable infinite concept, but reveals the prototype of rules and order through specific divine qualities.

It is the place of truth that countless beings crave, and it is also the headquarters of the core institutions and important departments of the Kingdom of Heaven, like the center of the beating pulse of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The most eye-catching thing in the third floor of Belia is a mysterious building called [Bīnà].

[Bīnà] is not an ordinary building, it represents pure, undifferentiated inspiration and intuition.

It is the essence of wisdom of the Unknown Land, and it is also the projection of all structured and ordered knowledge in this sacred realm.

It is like an unspeakable source, leading directly to the deepest truth, and the glory contains endless enlightenment. The souls of mortals can touch those mysteries that are originally unknowable here.

One of the most important holy objects in all the buildings of [Bina] is the [Pool of Bethesda], one of the two holy pools of healing in heaven.

The other holy pool of healing is the [Pool of Siloam] located on the first floor, between the [Zhongsi] and [Nursery] courtyards.

The [Pool of Bethesda] sits quietly in the center of [Bina], surrounded by an open stone courtyard.

The structure of the courtyard is supported by ancient white marble pillars, as white as snow, and the surface of the pillars is engraved with countless ancient characters that are difficult to decipher. These characters have their own rhythm, flickering with a faint light, and blending with the surrounding sacred environment.

In the center of the courtyard is a silver pool of water, which flickers with a soft glimmer and ripples on the surface; above the pool, several angel statues float; there is no real roof above the building, but a void-like sky.

There are five ancient corridors next to the courtyard, each of which leads to a different direction, symbolizing different sacred qualities and powers.

Those corridors are like paths leading to infinite truth. Entering them is like embarking on the road to understanding creation and structure.

In the silver pool, Xia Xiu lay lazily by the pool, his hands spread out, leaning on a slightly raised stone chair.

At this moment, his figure seemed to blend into this holy tranquility and become one with this sacred courtyard.

Xia Xiu's hair was combed into a neat back hair, and the wet hair was close to his scalp, with a faint metallic texture in the dim light, making him look more capable and cold. The back hair style made his whole face more clearly exposed, revealing the sharp outline and impeccable facial features.

There was still a hideous wound on his chest, which was particularly conspicuous near the heart.

Since the fall of Green Sun, he has been soaking in this pool for three days.

The silver healing water flowed slowly, wrapping his body, repairing the broken twenty-four organs bit by bit.

He closed his eyes, feeling the warmth and tranquility of the pool water, and his consciousness gradually drifted away.

Although most of his organs have recovered, the core organ near his heart that was crushed by the judgment can never heal again.

In order to make up for this irreversible loss, Eden implanted a new [Heart of Revelation] for him when he returned to the unknown land.

"Huh~"

Xia Xiu sighed, "Ah~ It's really a brand new heart."

He muttered to himself, with a slight curl of his lips, with a hint of indescribable humor, "Sure enough, my heart is also a worker. If one is broken, I have to replace it with a new one, and then work overtime, beating non-stop for 24 hours... Thanks to this heart, I feel like an overtime machine."

The newly implanted [Heart of Revelation] beats very regularly, as if it has received an order to work overtime indefinitely. Every pulse in the heart seems to remind him:

There is no time to rest, and I have to keep working!

The new heart worked perfectly with the [Second Heart·Heart Engine] in his body. The two hearts worked at the same time, like a pair of poor workers who were forced to accept double workloads - one was responsible for ensuring the body's energy supply, and the other had to fully support his every action.

"How does it feel to take a three-day bath?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice broke the tranquility of the pool.

Xia Xiu lazily opened his eyes and turned to look at the person who came.

It was an old man in casual formal clothes, with a bit of unruly, he was slowly walking to the edge of the pool.

This man was the chairman of the Heavenly Kingdom Ethics Committee, Robert Fielden, his political ally.

He held a thick list in his hand, obviously coming with official business.

Fielden walked directly to Xia Xiu's side, sat down without hesitation, and stretched his bare feet lazily into the pool water, shaking casually, stirring up some tiny splashes.

Xia Xiu frowned in disdain, moved to the side, with a trace of helplessness and speechlessness on his face.

"This is a holy pond, you just put your foot in it?"

Felden shrugged and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Do you still care whether it is a holy pond or not? With your status as a foreign student at Luyuan, can't you see that this is the conceptual material extracted by Eden from Yahweh? The understanding of one of the ten elements is concrete, and it can turn disorder into order. The pool of supreme knowledge."

Xia Xiu rolled his eyes and said in a teasing tone, "Of course I know the nature of this pool, but that doesn't stop me from hating your... graphic expression of wanting to flavor the pool."

Felden continued to enjoy the comfort of soaking his feet unconcerned.

Xia Xiu sighed, raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Tell me, what are you doing here? Can you please let me be clean?"

Feilden said casually: "You have been fishing for three days, it's almost time to move."

After hearing this, the fourth sword holder in Heaven showed displeasure and pointed to the wound on his chest.

"Fish? Fish? This is work-related injury repair! How can it be considered fishing?"

"I am repairing work-related injuries! Do you think repairing work-related injuries does not count as working hours?"

He continued dissatisfied: "These twenty-four broken organs have been repaired to the point where I almost doubt my life. Come and try it in the bubble pool!"

Felden squinted his eyes and looked at the hideous scar on the chest of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven. He frowned slightly, as if he was weighing the weight it carried - a full blow from a man on the verge of a miracle.

Then, he stopped talking, spread out the heavy roster in his hand, scanned the writing on it with his eyes, and slowly began to explain the business.

Xia Xiu noticed the change in the atmosphere, and put down his teasing. His expression gradually calmed down, and he returned to the calm and serious posture of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Although his body had been restored by soaking in the Pool of Bethesda for the past three days, he never really relaxed mentally.

He really hasn't fished in the past three days.

The more than 3,000 unprocessed messages from the Administration have been processed through mental overclocking in the past few days.

The mess left by the fall of Green Sun is far more troublesome than these things.

"Now let's get down to business." Feilden began to report word by word. "Regarding the awakening of the inner sanctum and the follow-up treatment of Bade Fei II, the people in the central containment room have contained three insect arrows, three bone arrows, future eyes, infinite train, black wedding dress, and anomalies based on the relevant information you provided. Space (bloody eyes), progressive acceleration assignment engine device..."

Felden flipped through the register in his hand, tapping his fingers lightly on each page. He was extremely familiar with the recorded items.

He raised his eyes and looked at the blond young man who was still half leaning on the edge of the pool. His voice was low and steady:

"Although all these items have been contained, their mutations need to be further confirmed. Especially the progressive acceleration assignment engine device and the infinite train - the people in the central containment room are very interested in these two items. Their research The value is huge, especially the potential for space manipulation, which may lead to the development of new ship blueprints.”

Xia Xiu lay in the pool, eyes slightly narrowed, golden pupils thinking in the dim light.

He turned his head and glanced at Feilden, with a hint of disapproval in his voice:

"I don't care if other things are given to the containment room, but the Infinity Train is exactly what I need."

His words were few, but his meaning was clear.

Feilden raised his eyebrows and asked with some speculation:

"Are you going to use it to give it to the Third Academy...?"

Xia Xiu lightly shrugged, as if responding to an obvious question, with a hint of ridicule in his tone:

"I'm just going to be a school bus, and I'll discuss with the Federation about the first phase of the construction plan for the third hospital."

Feilden's expression remained normal, and he was not surprised by the unconventional thoughts of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Xia Xiu continued, his tone returning to a more serious tone:

"The consortium was involved in the awakening of the inner temple, and the president of the Second Federal Bank, John K. Hanks, was very grateful to me for helping them find out the relevant institutions infiltrated by the consortium this time. Therefore, the construction funds of the Third Hospital It’s no longer a problem. Especially for the ‘Ivy Completion Pool’, people from the savings bank have already started to build it.”

Xia Xiu's tone contained a nonchalant lightness, as if this power game involving multiple levels was just an everyday game.

However, Felden knew that the complex situation behind this was far from simple.

The infiltration of the consortium is not only a problem in the economic field, but also affects the entire federal political system. Xia Xiu's actions this time have undoubtedly opened a hole in the undercurrent.

Xia Xiu looked up at the unobstructed sky. Starlight was scattered on his blond hair like a thin layer of silver.

His voice was calm and somewhat thoughtful:

"The replenishment pool is expected to be repaired within half a month, and the Whispering Square that was previously conquered has also been rebuilt after the war. The place was almost reduced to ruins, but now it is as if nothing happened."

He paused, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, thinking.

"The foundation of the three academies has been laid, but this is just the beginning, and the real trouble will come next."

The aftermath of the Green Sun, the awakening of the Inner Temple, the conspiracy of the consortium - most of these entangled forces have been destroyed in one fell swoop.

The construction of the third hospital is also the first formal step.

However, what Xia Xiu really wants to worry about is the next thing. He continued to say to his allies:

“Now is the time to consider the first-phase construction plan of the three colleges, as well as the strategic deployment of the first round of the Ivy War.

Although the Second Federal Bank is helping us, their appetite is not small and they want to get more benefits from it.

As for the Ivy War, it is a plane war and competition with the gods of the Golden Court. We must carefully consider which gods to fight, which plane port to take as a springboard, and how to accumulate the replenishment value...

We must not only deal with Terra's enemy heavenly forces, but also be on guard against those gods who are ready to move. They will not be willing to be purged like this. "

"This war..." Felden's voice paused in the air for a moment, "I'm afraid it will be more difficult than we imagined."

Xia Xiu leaned on the stone sculpture and smiled slightly.

He stretched out his hand to rub his meticulous golden back hair, and a few strands of scattered hair swayed on the edge of the pool. There was a faint fearlessness in his smile, which contrasted with his inherent cynicism.

"It's nothing, I'm used to difficult things. "

Xia Xiu's voice was brisk and casual. This was not frivolous, but his attitude after countless life and death experiences.

He had experienced too many hardships and tribulations, and wars, conspiracies, and inevitable conflicts were no longer new to him.

He raised his head and looked directly into Fielden's eyes, without any hesitation, and then asked directly:

"You came here to discuss these with me, and there must be other things you want to ask. "

Fielden's expression changed slightly. Although he had been calm, Xia Xiu keenly captured the subtle changes in the old man's eyes.

Fielden stared at the golden eyes of the blond young man. Those eyes were as dazzling as the sun, but behind them seemed to hide countless unrevealed secrets.

Fielden's tone suddenly became serious, with a kind of scrutiny:

"What did you see when you fell into Green Day's domain? What did you say to Mu after you came back from the battlefield? "

Xia Xiu was slightly stunned, and then he showed a meaningful smile.

Feldenberg's question was not unexpected, and it could even be said that he had expected the other party to ask these questions.

The old man's sharp eyes and insight were as always, and he would not be easily fooled by appearances.

Since the 72-hour crisis, Feldenberg has become more cautious, especially when facing himself, the ally he chose.

Xia Xiu's smile gradually faded, and a hint of calmness and sharpness appeared in his eyes.

He looked at Feldenberg and felt the almost suffocating sense of oppression from the other party.

Although the old man seemed careless, the power he exuded was as heavy as a mountain.

This was not an ordinary question, but out of some deep uneasiness.

"Don't worry," Xia Xiu said slowly, with a hint of certainty in his tone, "I will not become another Judith Iscariot, nor will I become Lucifer, let alone Satan. "

Felden's eyes were still sharp, like an invisible knife, piercing into Xia Xiu's heart. He was not in a hurry to respond, his eyes were full of calm and scrutinizing light. The silence in the air seemed to freeze everything, as if he was waiting for some unpredictable answer, or even a deeper truth.

"This matter..."

Felden's face did not show any emotion, still cold and calm.

Finally, he uttered a sentence coldly from his lips:

"It's hard to say."

Xia Xiu smiled: "Yes, it's hard to say."

He looked up at the void in the distance.

"Just like what people have been thinking about-will the Kingdom of Heaven perish without the frank advice of the Ethics Committee?"

He paused, his eyes fell back on Felden, with a faint smile in his eyes:

"This matter, it's hard to say. "

After Xia Xiu finished speaking, he leaned forward slightly and then stood up.

The moment he stood up, the ability of [Personal Customization] quietly activated, and a set of simple but highly designed casual clothes appeared on his muscular body.

The upper body of the clothes was a light gray long-sleeved sweatshirt, which was tailored to fit very well and slightly loose at the cuffs; the lower body was a pair of dark blue cuffed trousers, the fabric was thin but strong, and the trouser legs were slightly tightened, just showing the lines of his slender legs.

Xia Xiu walked out of the pool barefoot and carelessly, with light steps, and water droplets slid down the muscle lines of his arch.

The moment he stepped onto the stone courtyard, a pair of white canvas shoes appeared under his feet, the uppers were flawless, and the soles were light and comfortable, just like his silent steps.

While putting on his shoes, he looked at Feilden, his tone still relaxed:

"If you don't trust me, you can ask Mu. I reported to the old man and Eden as soon as I came back. "

There was no anger in Xia Xiu's tone, but a hint of irresistible calmness.

The facts are there, no explanation is needed.

As he spoke, he casually put his hands into the pockets of his sweatshirt and began to walk towards the ancient gate of Bina.

He walked to the gate without stopping, but his voice was still clearly heard by Felden:

"I'm going to the Alchemy Engineering Department to see the solar boat salvaged from the Chukchi Sea, and by the way, to see the Gospel Holy Machine under repair.

After that, I will go to the highest level Azilut again to meet Eden...Oh, by the way, the old man is also on the highest level this time, and he will accompany me this time. "

Xia Xiu's voice gradually faded away, but his tone always carried that kind of calm and self-assured calmness.

The slender figure stretched and disappeared in the light and shadow, gradually blending into the ancient and solemn building of [Bina].

Felden silently watched the retreating figure of the fourth sword-wielding man in the Kingdom of Heaven, his eyes gradually softened, but the caution and doubt that could not be completely erased still remained in his brows.

He watched the blond young man's back and didn't look away for a long time, thinking about a certain worry hidden deep in his heart.

"I hope you are really not the second 0-13..." He whispered to himself, with a hint of fatigue and heaviness in his voice.

"The Ethics Committee does not want to, and cannot, create another...[beast]."
