Chapter 1017 - World’s Will
Seeing the World"s Will materialize in front of him, he couldn"t help but smile.
"Why are you smiling, Human?"
"Nothing. This is the first time I met a World"s Will, so I feel a bit happy." Alex shook his head calmly.
"I don"t care about your matter. I just want to know what your purpose is from entering my place?" It suddenly released its Spiritual Energy, threatening him that if he didn"t want to answer, he would remove him.
"I have one purpose. It"s to make a deal with you." Alex finally gave his answer. "My name is Alexander Sirius, and I have something that you may want to consider."
"A deal? I have seen many inhabitants of this place, trading and dealing with each other, but there is none that tries to make a deal with me." The tone became hesitant, showing his confusion.
"Yes. I have this power called the Gacha System. Your evolution process seems to be in the middle stage, right?"
It nodded.
"After this, many worlds will be linked to you, and the original inhabitants will suffer, don"t you think?"
"Nothing is eternal. If they are wiped out, it"s because they are weak."
"Is that what you really think? Or is that because you don"t have the power to strengthen them?"
"Although I indeed favor my original inhabitants, I have witnessed the downfalls of many civilizations in the past. This is nothing for me."
"You still haven"t answered my question."
"Fine, Human. You win. I choose the latter. So, what is your proposal?" The tone from the World"s Will became a bit annoyed but helpless.
"I want to plant the seal of my system in your body, allowing you to host my Gacha System. This way, you can give everyone this power, including the people that will soon come out of the portals."
"Those people from another planet?"
"I do sympathize with the people in this world, but it doesn"t mean it"s alright to favor them so much. Hence, to balance it and allow the people of this world to enter this soon-to-be Upper World, I want the Gacha System to be administered to the people from other planets as well.
"This way, it will give more compet.i.tion in this place. And with the new resources and such, I believe this will allow you to grow much faster due to how they are using their Spiritual Energy."
"That is an interesting proposal, and you have explained why it will benefit me in the long run. But I don"t understand the middle process and what it"s in you?" The World"s Will still hesitated. There was no way Alex would give something without having benefit from his own "Investment."
Alex nodded with a serious expression. "There is something for me as well, but everything will be directed to the Gacha System in the form of Spirit Crystal. In other words, I am using the Spiritual Energy from this world to create Spirit Crystals."
"Are you stealing my energy?"
"No. I am just getting a portion of it. Besides, I am here not for too long. That"s why I said I want to make a proposal."
"For how long?"
Alex thought for a moment. According to Lin Xingzhi, the evolution of a world usually lasted a hundred years to two hundred years. From a business perspective, he needed to see the return as well, so he got a perfect number. "Nine hundred years. And the Spiritual Energy that I take from people won"t be that much either. Hence, Nine hundred years are perfect for me.
"Not only that the people in this world can gradually become a Martial Monarch or even Saint, but your Evolution won"t be that long either. I can a.s.sure you that you won"t need more than two hundred years to complete your evolution to become a full-fledged Upper World."
"I still can"t believe your claim. If I don"t reach that stage within two hundred years, I want the years after the 200th year to subtract the contract." The World"s Will shook its head.
"Alright. We have a deal." Alex nodded.
"In that case, I want this deal to be witnessed by Heaven and Earth." The World"s Will nodded.
"You first." Alex stretched his hand, asking the other party to start the oath.
It didn"t have a problem with that and raised its hand. "By my parents, the Universe, the endless abyss, I promise that I will follow this deal according to the best of my ability."
Seeing this, Alex also had his own oath. "With the Universe as my witness, I, Alexander Sirius, will agree to this deal and won"t do anything that will not benefit both parties."
After confirming that both had their own oath, the World"s Will then asked. "So, what do I need to do?"
"Stretch your hand. I will be leaving the seal." Alex asked the World"s Will to grab his hand.
As soon as their hands were connected, Alex asked. "It"s your time."
[Sure thing.]
Lin Xingzhi immediately transported the seal from Alex"s hand to the World"s Will.
[Creating the seal.]
[0%...99%...100%.]
[Complete.]
[Transferring the seal.]
When the transfer began, the World"s Will suddenly felt something weird in his body. The knowledge about the Gacha System was being poured into it, giving it another kind of power that he could control independently.
"So, this is what you want to do." It also understood what Alex planned to do with this Gacha System because of this knowledge. "I understand most of it, so I will fulfill my own tasks."
"Then, I am relying on you." Alex nodded with a smile.
[Transfer complete.]
[Initiating the Seal, Gacha System activated.]
[Good Luck Gacha System can be used now.]
Both of them had the same notification.
Before using it, the World"s Will looked at Alex first to see his reaction. The latter only nodded his head, telling him it was alright to run it immediately.
With his confirmation, he finally began activating the Gacha System. He then released a huge amount of power that spread worldwide, rewriting something in their soul.
It was something like what the World"s Will where he met Alicia and Firia did to its inhabitants. However, they didn"t have a level or something. Only Gacha that they could use to get items.
At that time, all people in the world had the same notification, including Alexander himself.
[System Initiated.]
Only those who were awake right now could actually read something after that, while those who were asleep had their message frozen until they woke up.
Alex checked his own message.
[You can touch this screen as long as you will it.]
[Rule 1]
The explanation about the rule of a Gacha then started, so Alex skipped all of it until everything disappeared, leaving only the normal interface of the system.
Name: Alexander Sirius
Point: 0
Ticket: 0
There were only three of these. The Point was used to draw like a normal Gacha Ticket, while the other was used like a Premium Ticket.
There was another b.u.t.ton that he could use to open the Gacha itself, showing four options to him. They were the b.u.t.tons to play the Gacha. Each of them had two, which were the 1xand 10x.
"I have done my part. As long as you kill anyone in this world, including the monsters that originally aren"t from me, you will get those things at a certain chance. Is that all?" The World"s Will asked.
"Yes. That"s all. Everything is completed. There is one thing that I want to ask you."
"What is it?"
"I would like to stay in this world for a little bit longer to see if the system is working perfectly or not. Of course, I will be hiding my cultivation to make sure I don"t influence you in a bad way. What do you think?"
"No more than three days. More than that, I need to expel you from here. And as long as you don"t use your power, it should be fine."
"Alright. Thanks."
"Then, if you have nothing else, I will return to my evolution."
"Yes." Alex nodded and witnessed how the human-shaped Spiritual Energy slowly dispersed and returned to where it belongs.
Even the Lightning Tribulation disappeared from the area, leaving him alone with nothing but sand.
"We have finally done it." Alex stretched his hands upwards, feeling a bit tired. There was a kind of pressure when he talked to the World"s Will, especially since this was his first time.
He never thought that the World"s Will was rather an intelligent being.
[Of course. They have witnessed everything, so they understand human knowledge and other things. Other than their pa.s.sive att.i.tude, I believe they are even stronger than me.]
"Well, the evolved World"s Will alone had reached Rank 3 G.o.d, I wonder what kind of strength that the World"s Will of a Divine World has?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows.
[Their power level is similar to mine, but their energy reserves are like an army of G.o.d Kings. Of course, there are several ways to make use of them, so it"s kind of hard to destroy a Divine World until it"s completely destroyed.]
"Hmm. It"s quite complex. So, we can summon them to protect our planet or something?"
[Not necessarily so. They won"t come out that way. As I said, all we can destroy are those on its surface. It"s impossible to destroy a Divine World like cutting it into two or something.]
"So, it"s like we can cause destruction everywhere, but it"s not possible to destroy the planet itself?"
[Yes. Every single living being may become extinct, but the world will persist. Though you can destroy a Divine World in another way.]
"What is it?"
[Just drag an Upper World and launch it to a Divine World with a certain speed. It will surely break.]
"…" Alex twitched his eyebrows. "Is there a person qualified to move an Upper World? Or maybe machinery that can help someone to move it?"
[Only once it occurred. Even so, it got help from a natural force, which is the White Hole. It launched the world outside and destroyed a Divine World with that momentum.]
"That"s impossible to think about. Either way, it"s already enough to know that we can make a deal or something. It might come in handy in the future." Alex shrugged.
[Yes, yes. You are the one thinking about it, I am not.]
"Haha." Alex laughed out loud while thinking an absurd thing.
[It won"t be affected. But you surely will be affected.]
Alex scratched the back of his head. What he thought earlier was whether the World"s Will could be enticed by desire like l.u.s.t or something, including the p.o.r.n book that Lin Xingzhi had gathered.
"Anyway, we have done our job here, so I will go back right now." Alex nodded with a smile, feeling satisfied with this deal.
He had three days to check the system, so he will use it wisely. He didn"t know what kind of reaction the prince and princess would have when they realized the water he gave and the water the system gave was basically the same.
Luckily, three days would be the limit that they would begin suspecting him. It would be the perfect time to leave this world while giving them access to the Gacha System.
Besides, his Gacha System would also get filled up.
When he returned, Alex didn"t find the princess here again, so it was a peaceful night for him.
Before resting for the day, Alex had two more questions for Lin Xingzhi.
"Can you do something with the system in this world? I mean, like a master key that can open all doors, can you do the same?"
[Yes. I can access the system, so you don"t need to worry about getting cheated. I can remove it at any time.]
"And what will happen after we retract the system?"
[Nothing will happen. I will probably send an advance notice for them to do whatever they need to spend those tickets. Besides, this deal is a bit unfavorable to us since we need a contract which lasts at least a few thousand years.]
"Sorry, sorry. That was my first time. I will do better next time." Alex sighed.
[Good luck then.]
