Alex was surprised by this story, growing up; The ark wars have always been some of the greatest events of earth, but not too many people knew what it was about or what it was for. All they couldn"t Understand from the world wide televised event was that it was a war between anyone that can make their way to the Ark Dimension.Unfortunately in all of the previous wars, no had ever been successful in getting the ark Dimension to open. But then again the common people didn"t have all of the details, and his father was never one to have colorful conversations about the wonders of the cultivation world. But since this bunch of people were offering him the information, who was he to reject, there was no knowledge that was worthless.
"The Ark of Noah had first appeared many years ago during the great flood, there are many earth Legends about that flood, but the fact remains that such a treasure, capable of carrying the vast numbers of living beings across the earth existed.
But contrary to what many believe, the great flood had not just happened on Earth, it was a cataclysmic event that spread across the cosmos and numerous planets. Earth was weak, but somehow they had survived, along with the numerous animals and even plant life, though many others still died and went extinct.
That drew the attention of a lot of people from other planes, and then as I"m sure you"ve already found out, the great war between the G.o.ds of earth and the Invaders from other planes. Somehow, actual G.o.ds lost the war, and the Invaders won. However a G.o.d"s life is tied to an object of divinity, it could either be a statue, or their weapons, or a writing speaking of their great deeds. These objects of divinity hold the inheritance of G.o.ds, the total sum of their true power and the true secret to G.o.dhood.
The Ark war is a fight for all of these inheritances, and we would like to align with you, the Zhang clan, and the ninth Princess to partake in this compet.i.tion. The way the war holds is to find a token from a major Dimension and then use it to open a pathway from your Dimension to the ark world where you and your armies will fight against others for a chance at ultimate power.
The Dimension token for earth is already in the hands of the Albion empire, the only way for us to get a token is by being in total control and command of a Dimension, and then the token will come to you or it"s own free will.
We know the emperor of the empire of heaven had given you a major Dimension to conquer, we know you"ve not done so, but we would like to ask you to get that done, before the three month preparation period elapse. The more cards and allies we have, the greater chances we have of winning.
At the very least even if we don"t get to obtain the ark, just as many have failed to do for many years. There are treasures all-over the ark Dimension, and any one of them could Grant you a significant amount of power, the academy would just like if we could work together till we achieve our goals."
Alex shrugged his shoulders, he didn"t think for one they were desperate about this alliance, obviously they already a token and could prepare, but right now he had to go conquer the Dimension that was given to him, and get a token from it Within the next three months.
To Alex this was an elaborate plot, the moment he and the others leave, they"ll pounce on his tower and try to take control of his resources, or maybe they were sincere and would instead try to protect it. He wasn"t sure, and quite frankly he couldn"t trust them, but he didn"t have much of a choice left.
While this wasn"t factored into their plans, Alex and Victoria already had plans to have a closer relationship with the Academy and they had a significant amount of clout in the cultivation world. Especially when you consider the fact that a.s.sa.s.sinations were things they"re well known for, so it was basically an attempt to tame a poisonous snake so that it doesn"t turn it"s fangs in their direction.
Alex would have to put some back ups in place, but the Academy was right, conquering that Dimension is important. Even more so was the fact that he has an army waiting there for him, not to mention he would be away from the eyes of others, and the severity of the conflict in that Dimension would help him get stronger.
He would also be able to use this chance to master Mana and magic, figure out what his Mana element was and master some spells. He didn"t have or need techniques with his spirit energy, it was basically an unrefined power source that thrived on strengthening, bending, breaking and rewriting the rules of reality. If was the supreme energy source, but all it was good for was to be an augment.
Either way, he has been studying hard for quite a while, it was about time he put a lot of things into practice. Plus he didn"t have too move too far, or rather it should be easier to say that the academy would not be too far from him.
While Planetariums are extremely rare and expensive, plane keys are cheaper and much easier to make. Of course they"re an expendable resource, but even they were cheaper than Planetariums they were also b.l.o.o.d.y expensive. Having a bunch in hand means he can come and go from the Dimension he has to conquer and the tower, plus plane keys are always active for two hours and can open spatial tunnels between Dimensions for people and resources to move through and fro.
Never the less it wouldn"t hurt to have a little back up at the side. Alex nodded his head as he looked up at the leaders of princ.i.p.als of the academy, whatever the f.u.c.k they are. They"ve pitched their ideas and since there would probably be a bit of correspondence between him and them in the future, he should be able to glean more information about the individuals in front of him.
"I"ve heard what you have to say and I agree, we can form an alliance. But! In my absence you would have to help protect my a.s.sets and investments. If you fail in doing that, or go behind my back and try to take advantage of me, then I promise you I will make destroying this academy my life"s mission." Alex said to them as he got back up to his feet and turned to leave.
"Of course! We would never go against our allies. You just play your path and we a.s.sure, we will clear every obstacles in your way hindering your climb to power."
The way they spoke was oddly specific, not to mention quite weird, but then again an a.s.sa.s.sination organization created a school and have trained some of the most talented human beings in the history of the cosmos. It was normal for people like that to be weird, but Alex wasn"t the person he once was.
Even simple sentences with hidden nuances will set him off on a trail of suspicion and distrust, and honestly there was a bunch of hidden meanings in that sentence. However it wasn"t one that seemed to be a threat to him and his family, but it didn"t matter. Alex was going to be keeping one eye on them, and the other whoever or whatever decides to play games with him.
Alex made his way out of the administration office, and was heading straight for the library. He had much to think about and put in place, but he would worry about that when his mother gets here. She was the only one he could trust to look after his tower while he and his friends go conquer a Dimension.
This was like an expedition of war, there would be a lot of logistics required, a lot of resources needed, and a lot of planning. He had to be able to plan and create a chain of supply before he leaves, and maybe try to understand the rules behind other Dimensions a bit. Plus he was going to the library to take a test, he needed to know what sort of Mana element he has, and he had to find spells for it.
This was not going to be just an expedition, but also a training exercise. Everyone in his tower needed to up their game a bit, the Ark wars was not the middle leagues, or the big leagues, this was the league above the league that was above the big leagues. An ultimate and b.l.o.o.d.y fight for power where even friend will turn on Friend and foes will become friends.
It would be b.l.o.o.d.y, which was why after he was done with his aim in the library he would be calling Yun Fao and the triplets. This would be all hands on deck, and he would also have to take a quick trip to the Vatican before he leaves.
According to the letter, maps and secret logs of information his father had given him on his birthday. He had a date with a holy spirit of some sort, and anything that has to do with spirit, has to do with him. After all…...He is the Spirit King. Hhhhb
