Extraordinary Pedigree.

Heaven is an unknowable place.

The second level, [Yezra], is called the "World of Formation," in which the radiance of the Supreme One is further revealed through angels and spiritual entities.

A huge rainbow bridge suddenly appeared in the sky, falling vertically from high in the sky, like a huge channel connecting heaven and earth.

dong dong dong-

A transport plane gracefully flew down the rainbow bridge.

Soon, it landed firmly on a tarmac above Yezra.

As the cabin door opened, the fourth sword-wielder from the Kingdom of Heaven walked out of the plane.

His steps were light and his handsome expression looked very happy.

This expression is like that of students who are on vacation, migrant workers after get off work, or old people who have harvested fruit...

With a happy mood, Xia Xiu looked back at the plane, nodded to the two staff who accompanied him to complete the handover, and politely thanked them.

The two angels immediately nodded respectfully in return.

During the brief interaction, the hatch slowly closed, the transport plane started again, slowly lifted off along the Rainbow Bridge, and left [Yezra].

As the plane departed, its trajectory looked particularly spectacular against the backdrop of the Rainbow Bridge.

The young man with blond hair and golden eyes stood on the tarmac and watched the plane leave. Only when it completely disappeared at the end of the Rainbow Bridge did he turn around and look at the sky.

In the sky above Yezra, an illusory and huge Doomsday Clock hangs in the vast sky. Its existence has almost become the most conspicuous symbol in this strange space.

This clock is not only huge, but it also seems to contain some mysterious power, allowing every person in heaven who looks up to clearly see the countdown that symbolizes the end of the world.

Xia Xiu's gaze passed through the misty clouds and fixed on the Doomsday Clock suspended in the sky.

——[Doomsday Clock]——

Minutes remaining: 1:30

Current time: 23:58:30

Weight adjustment (minutes):-

----------

At this moment, the hands of the clock showed 23:58:30, which meant that there was only one and a half minutes left before "midnight".

The hands moved half a minute further away from midnight than they had earlier, a positive sign that although the crisis still exists, the threat of disaster has eased.

"Working overtime, I finally pushed the crisis of destroying the world a little bit forward..."

The worker looked at the weight adjustment unit above and let out a long breath. It was a sigh of release. He had contributed his share to the performance of the unit above.

"You look like those students who just took the vacation from the two colleges."

Just when Xia Xiu was looking at the [Doomsday Clock] to express his inner sigh, a familiar voice came to his ears, so he casually glanced in the direction of the sound.

Under the vast sky of Yezra, I saw a cool old man riding a balance bike, driving towards him with a relaxed and confident attitude.

This cool old man wears a black formal suit. A rare taste and style can be seen in his clothes. The balance car is steady and elegant under his control.

Soon, the old man stopped his balancing car in front of the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven in a "drifting" posture.

"President Feilden, you are really fashionable." Xia Xiu said to the cool old man in front of him with a warm smile on his face.

That's right, this cool old man riding a balance bike for a walk in [Unknown Land] is none other than Robert Felden, the chairman of the Ethics Committee, one of the six core institutions.

Feilden drove the balance car steadily to a stop in front of Xia Xiu. His movements were smooth and natural.

After the car came to a complete stop, he gently kicked a specific part of the balance car with his toes. With a slight but clear "puff" sound, the mechanical structure of the balancing car began to undergo wonderful changes.

The original streamlined body gradually shrinks, and the mechanical components overlap and fold each other with amazing precision. The whole process is like an exquisite transformation performance. During this process, the size of the balancing car shrinks rapidly and eventually becomes a compact capsule shape.

The moment the capsule was formed, it easily ejected into Feilden's hand.

Xia Xiu looked at this scene, his eyes involuntarily showed a trace of strong interest.

"This is the capsule technology of the Edici Federation." He looked at the Mayflower Foundation's logo on the capsule and replied to Feilden.

"Yes, since they announced their entry into semi-alienation, they have gone all out to develop civilian technology. Financial institutions headed by the Mayflower Foundation have continued to provide large amounts of extraordinary loans to the outside world to support civilian technology. and the dual promotion of extraordinary technology. It can now be said that the Edici Federation has completed its second impact on the curtain system, and only more than three months have passed since the first impact."

Felden casually threw the capsule in his hand into the hands of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, and gestured with his eyes to the other person to follow him.

Xia Xiu took the capsule thrown by Feilden, put it in his hand and played with it carefully.

As the [Fire Thief] who stole the authority of the God of All Machines, he naturally easily analyzed the mechanical structure on the capsule. This is a mechanical folding technology derived from the Mechanical Church.

"During the time when you were out in the field, the Kingdom of Heaven sent representatives of the Gardener and I to attend various meetings regarding the Edici Federation. As for Edici's civilianization behavior, the Gardener and I both maintained a silent attitude, which made the Kingdom of Heaven Many angels inside are quite dissatisfied, because our silence represents the acknowledgment that Edici's attack on the veil system is correct."

President Felden was walking while chatting with Xia Xiujie about his work during the other party's absence. Like him, this cool old man was also a social beast facing a messy job.

"Gardener... 0-02." Xia Xiu thought to himself.

Each member of the resolution meeting actually has a corresponding code name, such as the current top leader of the administration and Xia Xiu's direct boss on the surface, 0-03 - Ponte Bergamos.

His codenames include "Philosophical Scientist", "All-Seeing One", and "Apocalypse Deterrence Initiator".

O-10, he became a member of the Resolution Assembly and was once a hero of the Knights, so his code names include "Veteran" and "Crazy General".

0-10, who formed a political alliance with 0-07, came from the central containment room, so his code name is very simple. His code name is only "Professor".

Xia Xiu was not surprised when he heard that 0-02 remained silent about the Edici Federation's extraordinary civilian advancement. Because the Gardener's resolution theme supports research into all supernatural and anomalous items.

Although the mainstream factions within the Celestial Kingdom wavered in their attitudes towards containment and research, she still maintained her stance.

The themes of Resolution and Celestial Engineering in her hands have prompted interactive testing of legitimate research into multiple anomalous items within the lineage.

Implemented a higher level taxonomy of unusual items.

She is a staunch supporter of practical research and believes that it can benefit all mankind to the greatest extent in the long-term development.

It is hoped that the abnormality will be deconstructed to complete a high-level technological explosion, and the extraordinary form of the entire Terra will be forced to complete a new cognitive reform and intellectual revolution for the entire human race with comprehensive and absolutely advanced extraordinary productivity.

"This is to use Edici as a theoretical pilot... In other words, she wants to seek re-election in the next election."

Xia Xiu soon knew that the purpose of old man Feilden chatting slowly with him here was to reveal news to him.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the cool old man next to him, who continued to talk on the topic.

"If nothing else happens, after the end of the year, the Kingdom of Heaven will officially enter the candidate competition. Every high-level angel who wants to serve as a member of the new parliament must report to Eden, and then complete the first round of think tank primaries, and also It’s a merit comparison. Eden will announce the results of the comparison, and in the first round, angels whose merit comparison is at the bottom 5% of the list will be eliminated.”

Felden said, looking at the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven next to him meaningfully, and the other person responded with a bright smile.

Obviously, Xia Xiu is bound to participate in the candidate competition next year.

He came here today to complete his class promotion and to register as a candidate.

For the first round of think tank primaries, he is absolutely confident that he will pass.

Just kidding, he has been traveling for a long time and worked tirelessly during this period.

It ranges from sacrificing the evil god of outer space to exploding anomalies in the inner earth, and in the middle, it also exploded Callisto.

After doing this job, he just wanted to say: Who else!

“It appears that the length of candidates for the next term may fluctuate.”

Xia Xiu continued with a sigh, "Re-election seekers, new competitors, old and new factions within the genealogy... It seems that the Heavenly Congress will be more lively in the coming time."

"According to the tradition of the Kingdom of Heaven, sword holders generally do not participate in the election of candidates. The pedigree of the Kingdom of Heaven needs to select people who can entrust power, not those who already have power." Elder President Felden looked serious. Said this sentence.

"0-13?" Xia Xiu mentioned casually.

Feilden was stunned for a moment, and then his face darkened when he realized what he was doing.

According to his words, 0-13 was among the people who could be entrusted with power, but the other party was corrupted by the Four Monarchs and the Red King, and transformed into a beast with one-third of the glory of the kingdom of heaven.

Feilden couldn't help but glare at the sneer-looking Golden Retriever, and said this viciously.

"This is the failure of the supervisory agencies within the genealogy, including the ethics committee, tribunal, and burial agencies, and the failure of most angels!

The corruption of chaos is staring at us greedily all the time. As long as we relax a little, the noble saint will turn into a beast of disaster in an instant. We fail to sound the alarm before temptation appears. This is indeed our fault. "

Feilden suddenly stared at the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven with great seriousness.

"In order to prevent the potential crisis of internal corruption, this year's candidate selection stage has also added a link. All candidate contenders need to face a new round of primaries. All contenders need to go to [Unknown Place] individually. The fourth layer of Earth], which is the outermost circle of [Azlut], where you will meet Eden and the Supreme Program to complete a selection process for the Kingdom of Heaven - they will conduct a backward search of all angels for fifty years."

Fifty years of investigation?

Xia Xiu's steps suddenly stopped.

For Eden and the Supreme Program, there is actually no difference between searching for fifty years and searching for one year. As long as they search an angel together, even if they only search his past for an hour, they can know the other person's background. color.

Therefore, the length of the back investigation is not critical. What is critical is the joint review of Eden and the Supreme Program.

At this moment, when the fourth sword holder in Heaven suddenly stopped, Felden also stopped.

He stood in front of the fourth sword holder in heaven, his eyes filled with meaningful light.

Feilden's eyes slowly scanned the other person, and his eyes seemed to be trying to understand the inner world of the sword-wielder who suddenly stopped.

His eyes sparkled with a deep insight, as if he could see through the surface of people and touch the secrets and emotions hidden deep down.

However, the performance of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven made him a little unclear.

There wasn't much expression change on the other person's face, but from his slightly raised eyebrows and slightly raised corners of his mouth, you could tell that his mind was active and he was engaged in some kind of contemplation.

What kind of expression is that?

If I had to describe it, it would be a kind of relief and enlightenment.

"It's good to go back and check for fifty years. I think there is already some turmoil in the pedigree because of the defection of 0-13, and there are a lot of rumors about the rebellion in the internal forum. They probably don't have much confidence in me, an angel from the earth. , now that Eden and the Supreme Program have been investigating for fifty years, they can just stabilize the internal public opinion." Xia Xiu's face soon became full of smile again.

He also understood that this cool old man Feilden was accompanying him when he went shopping, in addition to exchanging information and information about the family lineage.

I just want to see here whether I, the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven from the mortal world, can handle the fifty-year back investigation of Eden and the Supreme Program.

The old guy's map of Yan State was so long because he wanted to delay it until he passed the review before he would be relieved and share more information and resources with him.

"President Felden, I just want to go to the [Holy Ark] stored in the first level [Assia] to complete the promotion of high-level angels. After completing the promotion, I should immediately go to the fourth level to meet Eden and Supreme Program, do you want to come with me?" Xia Xiu asked knowingly.

"We can just have a drink after we're done," he added.

"Okay, old man, I haven't been to the Unknown Land for a while, so I can just do some exercise. I have been working as a clerical worker in the Edici Federation, responsible for assisting the gardener in processing a large number of documents. I finally returned to the Unknown Land today. To report on my work, I just happened to be walking around, and as a colleague, it seems that I have never sat down and had a drink with you, which is really shameful."

Old man Feilden also followed Xia Xiu's nonsense with a serious look on his face.

The two foxes, one old and one young, looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.
