The two also took some time to visit other countries, but compared to China, these countries lagged far behind in both military strength and technological level.
"This can be considered as one generation planting trees so that another can enjoy the shade," Ge Xiaolun said with a smile.
Listening to his subtle flattery, Chu Yang said with amusement, "Looks like you've changed quite a bit!"
Ge Xiaolun scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly.
Chu Yang stretched and asked, "Is Teacher Rui at Super God Academy?"
Ge Xiaolun thought for a moment, then said, "It should be in..."
"Should?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.
Ge Xiaolun said somewhat awkwardly, "Although the Super God Academy has reappeared in the universe because of the War Council, I have always been in charge of the specific matters."
"For the past six months, Teacher Rui has been elusive and rarely seen..."
Chu Yang knew that the current Earth's Super God Academy was the headquarters of the Super God Academy, while also having branches in various advanced civilizations.
However, the nature of Super God Academy is now very different from before.
To put it bluntly, the current Super God Academy is more like an appendage of the War Council, or a research institution of the Cosmic Alliance.
The so-called Cosmic Alliance refers to a system spontaneously created by the major civilizations that have joined the War Council after establishing basic information exchange.
A flash of white light appeared in Chu Yang's eyes, and Pangu's computing engine instantly covered the entire Earth, quickly locking onto the location of the Super God Academy headquarters.
He then said with a smile, "I'm lucky. It looks like Teacher Rui just got back. Take me to see him!"
Ge Xiaolun nodded, then reached out and wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead.
He was really exhausted after half a day.
Chu Yang's speed was simply too fast. Even if he pushed the Qiankun system to its limit and combined it with his own body and super genes, he could only barely keep up with him.
If he knew that Chu Yang had deliberately slowed down the speed to accommodate him, Ge Xiaolun would probably question the meaning of life...
Earth, headquarters of the Super God Academy, vice principal's office.
In fact, when the Super God Academy was pushed back to the cosmic level, the Earth side made a unified decision to elect Ryze as the principal of the Super God Academy.
However, the old man was used to a life of leisure and had a somewhat eccentric personality. In addition, he was forgetful and felt that he was far inferior to the principal of the Space Academy, so he never agreed.
Left with no other option, the Super God Academy left the principal's position vacant and instead created two vice-principal positions, which were filled by Ge Xiaolun and Ryze respectively.
Arriving at the office door, Ge Xiaolun gently knocked. After hearing a response from inside, he said, "Teacher Rui, it's me, Xiaolun!"
"Come in!" Ryze's voice rang out.
Ge Xiaolun opened the door and gestured for Chu Yang to enter. After Chu Yang went in, he followed closely behind.
After placing the bags on the coffee table, Ge Xiaolun said with a smile, "Teacher Rui, it's been a long time!"
Sitting on the sofa, wearing round-framed glasses and holding a newspaper, Ryze glanced at him and said irritably, "You're never here for anything good!"
"Speak! What do you want me to do for you this time?"
"Also... don't bring these things next time, especially walnuts!"
Ge Xiaolun glanced at the small pile of walnut shells on his desk and couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.
Ryze naturally saw Chu Yang as well, but he remained calm and showed no surprise, as if he had expected Chu Yang to come looking for him.
Ge Xiaolun smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Alright! I'll definitely be more careful next time!"
"But this time it's not me looking for you, it's Instructor Chu who wants to have a talk with you!"
Ryze put down his newspaper and looked at Chu Yang, while Ge Xiaolun tactfully took his leave and closed the door behind him.
Chapter 402 A Shocking Secret! We're Getting Closer to the Truth
"It seems that Teacher Rui had already guessed that I would come..."
Chu Yang sat opposite Ryze with a smile on his face.
Ryze took off his glasses, sighed, and said, "I know you already realized last time that I was hiding something from you."
“I’m grateful that you didn’t press me further, because I promised the principal that I wouldn’t tell anyone those things until the time was right.”
"But things are different now. Six months ago, the principal told me that you had already begun exploring the unknown universe. There are some things that you would soon find out even if I didn't tell you..."
Chu Yang smiled without saying a word, waiting for what was to come.
Ryze continued, "Even the principal doesn't know much about prehistory."
"All the clues that the Super God Academy has gathered point to an unknown universe..."
"There is a high possibility that prehistoric people still live there!"
Chu Yang stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then said, "Teacher Rui, you just said you were hiding something from me, you didn't mean this, did you?"
"Since I did not discover the greatest secret of prehistoric truth in the void, it means that those secrets can only exist in the unknown universe."
"You should know that I've come here today seeking more answers than just this!"
Ryze shrugged, looking rather like a playful old man, and said, "That's all I know about the truth of history."
"But the biggest secret I've been hiding from you is actually about myself..."
"Hmm?" Chu Yang's eyes narrowed.
Ryze's expression turned unusually serious. "The principal and I are both prehistoric survivors!"
Chu Yang paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "In a sense, all life in the known universe can be considered prehistoric remnants."
"Even new life forms born after the Big Bang will have some prehistoric life elements mixed in at the deepest level of their genes."
Ryze shook his head and said, "No, no, no... My relationship with the headmaster is very special..."
"Unlike other life forms in the known universe, we are not new life forms born after the Big Bang, but survivors of the Big Bang!"
Chu Yang's pupils suddenly contracted. Could it be that the historical truth he had been searching for was right in front of him?
Upon closer examination, Kieran must possess some unique qualities to have become a higher-dimensional life form; otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve this solely through technological power.
And Ryze...
This old man appears to be crazy, but he is actually unfathomable. Even Chu Yang has never seen him make a move and does not know the extent of his true strength.
Even Pangu only judged Ryze to be weak, like a complete weakling.
How could someone who is weak in combat possibly survive from the era of the gods to the present day, and even hold a very high position in the God Academy?
It's important to know that between the end of the era of the gods and before Keisha became the Queen of the Gods, there was a period of chaos in the universe.
During that period, those who possessed cutting-edge technology but lacked corresponding strength would become easy prey for various civilizations.
Ryze possesses the legacy of the Super God Academy, and the core technologies he controls are even more crucial than those held by Shenhe and Denuo. How could he not be coveted by others?
Even under these circumstances, Ryze has not only survived to this day, but the technology and data he possesses have not been leaked in the slightest.
This alone shows that Ryze is definitely not the weakling that Pangu judged him to be!
Chu Yang slowly calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and said, "Could you elaborate?"
Ryze nodded and said with a smile, "Now that I've told you about this, I naturally won't hold anything back."
"As I just said, this is all I know."
"Although the principal and I survived the explosion, we only retained incomplete genetic code."
"After a true resurrection, we all lose our memories of prehistory and a portion of key genes."
"Afterwards, whether it was establishing the Super God Academy or conducting various studies on genes, it was all to complete the genes we lacked and to find our lost memories."
"The principal defined the missing part of our genes as 'divinity'."
At this point, Ryze paused, then casually took two walnuts from a package that Ge Xiaolun had just brought over and gently crushed them.
Ryze popped a walnut into his mouth and continued chewing, "Hmm... the headmaster said that technology can only accelerate the evolution of life and raise the upper limit of genes..."
"But all of this is only to approach the level of 'divinity'!"
"It is precisely because of these ideas that the concept of God came into existence in the universe later."
"But no matter how hard we tried, we failed..."
"The principal prepared two final plans, which were used on the two of us respectively."
A glint flashed in Chu Yang's eyes, and he said softly, "So, the plan used by the Space Principal is to become a higher-dimensional life form, abandon humanity, and pursue divinity?"
Ryze nodded, then sighed and said, "That's right, but in the end it still failed..."
“Higher-dimensional beings are completely different from the ‘divinity’ that the principal pursues, but he is unable to lower himself to a lower dimension, which deprives him of the opportunity to start over.”
"However, the method used on me has shown initial results..."
"Oh?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow. He vaguely guessed that it was probably because of this plan that Ryze was able to get through that turbulent and chaotic period!
Sure enough, Ryze tossed the walnut shells onto the coffee table and said with some melancholy, "This plan is actually quite simple: combine various genes from the universe and extract the factors from prehistoric life."
"I fused with the final genetic crystal, but that only gave me a portion of the power of the various 'divine' elements from those factors. I still couldn't make up for the lack of 'divine' elements belonging to me in the genes."
"On the contrary, because my genetic chain is too chaotic, I'm becoming increasingly forgetful, and my temperament and personality are becoming somewhat strange..."
