Chapter 1008 - New World
"Then, goodbye for now. I feel like I need to meet you again in the future."
Zera nodded with a smile. "I will be looking forward to it. I wonder what you will have the next time I meet…I am prepared to be surprised by your achievement, such as your cultivation."
"Haha…I am doing my best." Alex shrugged.
"In that case…I will send you off." She smiled and took out a Teleportation Array Plate that would teleport him to outer s.p.a.ce.
He had no intention to reveal his s.p.a.ce Element even to her, so he could only accept her suggestion and thanked her.
"See you again." She waved her hands as the Teleportation Array Plate was activated.
Alex also waved his hand until he disappeared.
The next second, he was surrounded by darkness. He was already in outer s.p.a.ce.
[Where are you going now? You are not going back immediately, right?]
"Yes." Alex nodded with a serious expression. If he came back right now, he would need at least a year before going somewhere else, so he couldn"t afford to return yet. "I have several places in mind. The first will be where I can evolve my Fire Authority. I also need to go to Encore. And the place where I can plant the seed of this system."
[In that case, I suggest you go to the new planet. They are about to have a transition, so I think this is a perfect time. I believe it"s better to go there right now, and I think you can speed it up a little bit. Those old guys are also "preparing" something.]
"Fair enough. The other two won"t have any difference, while if I plant this one as soon as possible, I will have a few days" worths of Spirit Crystals. Considering it won"t be that much in the beginning, it will surely become better in the long range." Alex nodded in agreement. "Alright. Give me the compa.s.s. I will go there."
[Understood. By the way, I will send the information regarding that planet as well.]
"Thanks."
Lin Xingzhi first gave him the compa.s.s while she compiled all the information. Due to the lack of time, he chose to go toward the planet first and stayed on that planet for a few days to learn all the information. Only after that would he plant the seed.
A few hours later, he finally found the planet. From what he could see, this planet looked amazing. It was so dark that he barely saw the light from outer s.p.a.ce, meaning there was no light like the modern world or cultivation world.
"I wonder what kind of planet is this…" Alex furrowed his eyebrows and decided to go to the other side of the planet.
Lin Xingzhi had yet to send the information, so he wondered whether to enter first or wait for the information.
After several considerations, he decided to enter the world. It had two suns and four moons from what he could see from here, so it would be an amazing experience.
Using his Teleportation Array, he arrived inside the world. Because he randomly chose the location, he looked around him, finding himself surrounded by sand.
"Hmm?" Alex narrowed his eyes and looked around to find anyone nearby but to no avail. In that case, he decided to look at the sky and watch the amazing two suns. Remembering the four moons outside, he thought the night would be something he wanted to see.
[Alex, I have gathered the information.]
"Sure thing. Send me." Alex nodded. The information he had been waiting for finally arrived. He instantly took it out of his Inventory and read it.
However, before he could even start, he sensed a huge creature creeping on the ground. It seemed to have sensed him as well and leaped to the sky, trying to swallow him when it fell.
Alex just took a glance over its giant body and used his hand to stop the creature.
It turned out the creature was a kind of worm but had a giant mouth that seemed to be capable of swallowing anything.
When Alex stopped it, the latter looked surprised. It didn"t have eyes and ears, but it could understand what Alex just did.
"Just go back. I don"t wish to fight you." Alex shrugged. Because he had no information regarding this world, he thought the place was filled with monsters. However, he seemed to be wrong.
The worm was enraged by his arrogance and struggled from his hand.
"I see. The inhabitants are not monsters…Since you are so annoying, let"s kill you." Alex released his killing intent, startling the worm.
It realized that Alex was far scarier than it expected at first and tried to escape.
However, Alex stepped on the sand and created an immeasurable pressure over the worm, crus.h.i.+ng it.
The worm soon collapsed to the ground lifelessly.
"It"s only a Foundation Rank worm." Alex nodded and leaped to the top of the worm while reading the information.
"Hmm…According to the information, this world is known as a world of Light and Darkness. Its nickname was granted because this world never had any cycles of night and day. Interesting…
"The rotation itself is the same as its revolution, so the planet keeps facing the sun while the other side of the planet won"t have the time to see the sun. Such an ironic place to live.
"Anyway, because of the strange phenomenon, the time is too absurd and they have something to reach that time by seeing their body ability to withstand sleep. To that end, seven days are the utmost limit, so after some calculations, they know that each day has around forty-five hours per day. Thirty hours to work and fifteen hours to sleep.
"This is an interesting world to be honest, but the condition is harsh. In any case, the humans on this side have severe water problems because it is hot here while the other side is too cold, so they need lamps and clothes.
"Now I think about it, doesn"t this mean I can market my own water bottle? This will surely be popular here. I don"t want to take advantage of this to ama.s.s money, but it"s enough for them to use my system to get a water bottle. Even if they are the trash among the trash, it"s like a treasure for this place…Which I am glad. I won"t just take advantage of them here, but I am also helping them by supplying these items.
"Anyway, I don"t have information regarding this place. Lin Xingzhi even took hours to get this little information. In that case, I should start going to the city near him and investigate them. After mixing with the locals and understanding this place better, I will place the seed or you can say the seal so my Gacha System can have access to all people in this world…
"I will probably make a certain agreement with the World"s will that will undergo its own evolution soon. After that, I will partic.i.p.ate in several missions to make sure that the system doesn"t have a bug or something."
[That sounds like a plan. I will try to monitor the situation.]
"By the way, are you a programmer?" Alex asked.
[If you think I can make a program like this, then the answer is no. This is already included in the system, so it must be built by the previous owner, the Dungeon G.o.d.]
"Oh." Alex nodded a few times. "Well, I will try to get information, so I might be staying in this place for a few weeks to a few months. It won"t be more than three months. I promise."
[Don"t worry. It"s not like you need to rush like that. Besides, the evolution of your Fire Authority will take longer than this.]
"Ahaha…" Alex felt a bit guilty before letting out a long sigh. "Alright. Time to find a human settlement. By the way, I don"t see the name of this world."
[It"s Lida World. No need to laugh about its name. Yes, it"s from Light and Dark. And it seems the two sides are fighting against each other. The dark side wants to see the amazing life from the light side, but the latter treats them as someone that G.o.d has abandoned. However, due to its extreme environment, the dark is a bit stronger than the light side.]
"Alright. Thanks." Alex nodded. "It seems there is also a third party or a borderline that is always evening where the sun almost sets."
[Yes, but it"s mostly mountain range, so not many people are living there. Only some small villages around the globe.]
"Ho? Anything else?"
[I have printed it, but I will say it too. The world situation is like what Earth experiences after getting defeated. They have ancient civilizations that fight against each other with the power of kingdoms. But all the influences on both sides have joined hands respectively to defeat the other side, so you can somehow understand me, no? And they have a bit of magical energy, so you can treat it as a lower-rank world that only has Foundation Rank. There might be a master rank, but I am not so sure.]
"Got it. I have sealed my cultivation to Master rank, so there must be someone with cultivation similar to that of a Martial Master." Alex contemplated for a minute before saying, "Time to go then."
[Yes, be careful.]
"Of course. Besides, I already have a clue…" Alex smiled and saw the dust kicked up not far from here.
It was surely a group of people. Depending on their ident.i.ties, Alex had a plan to either kill them or negotiate with them.
He simply waited for them to approach while reading the information once again to make sure he didn"t leave any of the information.
A few minutes later, he sensed a group of thirty people riding their camels to cross this desert. They seemed to be well-armed, considering each of them has weapons and s.h.i.+elds as if they were ready to war.
Although there was no armor visible, they showed their abs because not a single of them used closed clothes. It must be due to their living environment, which was the desert.
The one leading the group was a young man without an expression. He only had a little bit of surprise when he saw Alex sitting on top of the worm.
The others were staring with shocked expressions before glancing at the leader, wondering what they should do.
To their surprise, the leader jumped off his camel and looked at Alex with a serious expression. He slightly bowed his head while placing his hand on his chest as if it was a n.o.ble greeting.
"Gentleman. May I know what you are doing here?"
"Is that a problem?" Alex put down the paper and looked at the leader.
The leader closed his eyes for a few seconds before shaking his head. "No. However, I am required to know because we can"t really have someone as strong as you this close to our place. After all, I have an obligation to prevent any unknown threat. I hope you can forgive me for asking this and can understand me."
Alex frowned. The one before him had etiquette, making him think he was someone important. Seeing he was so educated, he thought he could use him to gain information and mix in their territory.
"Well, I am traveling without aim. I always stopped in every place to restock my supply." Alex answered.
The leader considered a few things, especially Alex"s age. His complexion told him that Alex was not that old, probably younger than him. With age like that and the little bit of scary power he leaked this whole time, he knew that Alex was someone extraordinary. Not even him could have this power.
He decided it would be best for him to reach out to Alex.
"In that case, if you don"t mind, I can give you a tour in my place. It"s not far from here. Of course, this is only if you want. I can"t force you here." The leader smiled.
"Sounds good."
"Before that, I would like to introduce myself. I am Xivaxi, the first prince of the Rawak Kingdom. Pleased to meet you."
Alex stared at him mysteriously before saying his name. "Nyx."
