Chapter 1167 - Stronger
Alex arrived in another place as if he just got teleported inside. There was nothing inside other than a chair in the middle of white s.p.a.ce.
However, what shocked him the most was none other than the translucent figure who sat on that chair. It was none other than himself.
"The Spirit G.o.d…" Alex muttered in shock. He stood still and activated his Spirit Eyes, finding that the one before him was the soul of the Spirit G.o.d.
"Spirit G.o.d, huh… Are you calling me or calling yourself?" The Past Alex smirked and rose from the chair, snapping his hand to make the chair disappear. "We"ve met again."
"You…" Alex facepalmed and shook his head with a long sigh. "Did you plan all this?"
"Not really. I only prepared everything with the thought of it getting abandoned because you never used them." He shrugged.
Alex narrowed his eyes and asked, "Still, no matter what you say, I truly couldn"t understand your thought process."
"It"s the same for me. I can"t predict what you"re thinking, but I have enough knowledge to prepare something that you may need in the future. This is one of them." The Spirit G.o.d smiled.
"I just want to ask first… this future… Is it the worst?" Alex asked with a serious expression. This type of scenario truly frustrated him because he couldn"t kill them without relying on everything that his past life had to offer.
"I don"t know your current condition. How about telling me? Although I won"t give you any advice regarding the timeline to ensure that it"s not going somewhere unknown, I can answer your question without a problem."
Hearing that, Alex began to tell him how it was going from when he reached the G.o.d King Stage until he hunted the Supreme Beast.
"Hmm… I can say it"s among the worst." The Spirit G.o.d acknowledged it and said, "The biggest miscalculation was the fact that the angel used billions of lives to destroy the s.p.a.ce and Time Seal."
Alex looked down and contemplated, "I wonder will it be different if I sacrifice my life to kill the Supreme Beast? Although I will end up dying, the war will end without any G.o.d Kings dying on our side."
"That"s…" The Spirit G.o.d closed his eyes with a pained expression. "Well, it"s already in the past, so I think it"s fine to tell you this much. If you die fighting against the Supreme Beast and his servants, Lin Xingzhi will end up following you. After the excruciating pain she suffered in the past when I died, she couldn"t handle it anymore and commit suicide.
"Although your current wives will be searching for your body, Anna and Anya would begin losing their will to live because they have been suffering for thousands of years. In the worst case, they will follow Xingzhi.
"Then, your wives will start doubting themselves and things will get even worse. I think I should stop at this." The Spirit G.o.d let out a long sigh. "You made the right choice. It"s not the best choice for the universe, but it"s the best for Eulja. I"m sure we have the same opinion about this, right?"
A gentle smile appeared on Alex"s face as he nodded. "Yeah. We don"t care about the universe as long as our family can live."
The Spirit G.o.d nodded in agreement. "Even if in the end, the result will be one of the worst, I will still choose that road without hesitation."
"Yeah." Alex then asked, "Do you think it"s possible for me to defeat that beast?"
The Spirit G.o.d shrugged, refusing to answer this question. Instead, he explained another thing to him. "In another universe, after Martial Saint, we will become a False Immortal, True Immortal, and so on until we reach G.o.d Stages such as False G.o.d and True G.o.d Stages.
"This information will be useful for you in the future, but the reason why I"m not giving you this information despite having the knowledge is due to how irrelevant it is."
"You have this kind of knowledge?" Alex widened his eyes in amazement.
"Yeah. I received it the moment I saw the future." The Spirit G.o.d had a sad expression as if thinking about something. "Back then, the moment I used a certain technique to receive the memory of my previous reincarnations, I learned that I wasn"t born from this universe alone.
"There were so many universes out there. And even a slave could kill you just by flicking your head gently. However, I chose not to venture too deep about this knowledge and sealed it. I was a family man… Living with my family in a peaceful era was enough for me."
"Unfortunately, the beast came…" Alex narrowed his eyes.
"Yeah. That guy…" The Spirit G.o.d couldn"t contain his smile when remembering the beast.
Even Alex was baffled by such a reaction. He never expected that the Spirit G.o.d could actually smile at the beast that ruined everything.
"That guy was just a kid who didn"t get the attention he deserved. He threw a tantrum, so others would recognize him. I could feel that he wanted attention from me and anybody else in this universe. At the same time, he wanted someone to stop him and kill him because he couldn"t bear this kind of action himself.
"I realized it after clas.h.i.+ng blows with him. I can"t say he was not a bad guy, but I know he is lonely." The Spirit G.o.d shook his head in disappointment. "Anyway, it doesn"t really matter."
"Indeed. You mentioned earlier about the False Immortal Stage and so on…" Alex asked, "What"s all that?"
"Hmm, I should give you an explanation about your inheritance first. I"m sure you notice that you have gained all the knowledge this universe can offer, right? I mean, not all, but most of them since they are ancient knowledge."
Alex admitted that he understood most of the things after observing them a few times.
"I have separated the entire inheritance and entrusted it to someone else. You can say the current knowledge you possess is only up to five percent of the entire thing." The Spirit G.o.d smirked. "Anyway, I don"t care if you want to go to another universe or not, but you should remember that you have wives here. I don"t wish to see them suffer."
Alex smiled and explained, "I am a family guy too. I don"t have a plan to visit another universe if I don"t have to. There is a possibility in the future, but I will stay in this universe for at least one thousand years."
The Spirit G.o.d nodded in agreement. "Well, living that long without cultivating is indeed very long. I have no complaints as long as you discuss it with your wives."
"Yeah."
"Back to the topic, I have entrusted this knowledge to someone… And that someone is none other than Eulja"s Will. Yeah… Eulja"s consciousness."
"Wha—" Alex widened his eyes, never expecting this kind of move.
"She was my teacher and my parent figure. She took care of me when I was abandoned by my family. At that time, I never knew her ident.i.ty until Father-in-law… I mean, Xingzhi"s Father came.
"That was not important though. What I wanted you to know was the fact that the knowledge is in her possession."
"This is the first time I heard someone grew up with the world as his mother…" Alex shook his head helplessly.
"Hahaha." He brushed it off with a laugh before continuing. "Alright, we need to talk about the False Immortal Stage first. This is your current stage."
"Looking at this, I feel like I have just begun my cultivation journey." Alex couldn"t help but chuckle.
"I can"t deny that." The Spirit G.o.d shrugged. "Anyway, let"s think that you"re a False Immortal finding a way to reach True Immortal. Once again… This is not information you shouldn"t spread to the universe, okay?"
"Don"t worry. I know." Alex waved his hand, telling him he understood the severeness of this matter.
"What do you think the difference between the "False" Immortal and "True" Immortal is?"
Alex thought for a moment and tilted his head in confusion before saying, "True Divine Energy?"
"Hahahaha! If I didn"t have the knowledge, I would"ve said it too." The Spirit G.o.d laughed out loud. "Well, I will give you a hint. What did you get during your journey in G.o.d Rank Expert?"
Alex narrowed his eyes and said, "Law?"
"Yes. But that"s only one of the answers. There is another one…"
Alex thought for a while before realizing something. "Wait… It"s Divine Energy!"
The Spirit G.o.d smirked and gave a thumb up. "Good. Those two are the answers."
"Don"t tell me…" Alex quickly realized how these two were related.
"I think you have realized it already, so I will give you one short answer." The Spirit G.o.d nodded. "Yes. It"s to combine the Law and the Divine Energy. The universe itself has given you the opportunity to reach the next stage, but because there"s no knowledge about it yet, no one has yet to ascend to a higher level.
"By using your body, you will convert the Spiritual Energy from this universe to Divine Energy. Then, the same Divine Energy will be converted once again by using the Law to create another type of energy that will symbolize your existence. As much as I want to call it True Divine Energy, I can"t because its name is Immortal Law Energy. Anyway, both suck, so yeah… Let"s move on.
"Anyway, if you want to reach the True Immortal Stage, you"re to convert all Divine Energy by using your Law. Only at that time will you be recognized as a True Immortal. Ah, don"t forget… We will face another Lightning Tribulation, albeit it"s going to be a Disturbance instead."
"I see. So, that"s how it is… And that"s the reason why you send this Gacha System, right? The s.p.a.ce Element is the most beneficial for me because it will fulfill all my wishes. Most important of all, I can seal my own power, so the universe won"t recognize me as a True Immortal and expel me. I can spend the time with my family here then."
The Spirit G.o.d gave another thumb up. "Exactly. You understand it well."
"Still, where can I get rich Spiritual Energy? I"m afraid if I advance in the original universe, I will be recognized immediately. I mean, when I reached Martial Master, the world would try to expel me right away… Only a one day grace period. The same applied to when I reached the G.o.d Rank Stage… Wait a minute…" Alex once again was shocked and looked at the Spirit G.o.d with his mouth wide open.
"Yeah. This place is called an Abandoned Universe for a reason. It doesn"t have any limit because the rules are not applicable here. Sure, you can find Spiritual Energy and Disturbances, but you won"t face something like a limit or whatever because the universe doesn"t have its will that maintains everything. Only natural phenomena will continue in this universe. Hence, you won"t have any problem when you reach the True Immortal Stage and seal your energy first, so no one knows about it, including the beast."
