"Thank you."
"It's my pleasure to help you." Mirhan bowed politely.
"With this, you can go there without coming to the previous upper world," Korzan informed him.
"Yes. I will be going there in two days." Alex nodded before glancing at Korzan, wondering if he only wanted to show this place and the compass.
"Let's go back, shall we?" Korzan smiled.
"Then…" Alex clasped his hand toward Mirhan before leaving together with Korzan. Mirhan bowed his head until he left the room.
Korzan led him to a room where all the girls gathered. "I have done what I need to do. I shall do my work now."
"Thank you." Alex patted his shoulder and nodded before glancing at the six girls. They were in the dining room where they could use it for a meeting place for the time being. Luckily, it was a round table, so they could see each other pretty easily.
He sat on an empty seat between Alicia and Lin Xingzhi. "How is everyone?"
"We are good. Just need to sort some things before cultivating again." Anna nodded. It had already been more than a decade since they left this planet, so they must have a few things to do.
"How is the preparation?" Lin Xingzhi asked.
"It's good. Anyone want to leave with me in two days?"
Alicia and Firia obviously raised their hands since they were the purpose of coming back to that world. Sherry also raised her hands since she wanted to see those people again and showed them her current appearance.
On the other hand, Anna and Anya remained still while Lin Xingzhi asked, "Zark can teleport you there."
"It's fine. My power should be enough." Alex waved his hand, assuring they would be fine.
"Alright then."
"Besides, I have one question to ask you." Alex squinted his eyes.
"What is it?"
"I don't have any idea how the spirits can level up."
"Ah!" Lin Xingzhi nodded. "Let's see Anna's status, shall we?"
[Anna (Dark)
Level: 81 (Rank 10 God)
Exp: 30000/999999]
"The monsters won't bring you any more experience points because the spirits can't level up anymore using that. Instead, they can only gather EXPs from cultivation. Although this comes with a big disadvantage where they need to have a long cultivation session to regain their strength, they might be able to break through their previous stage.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"In other words, there is a bigger chance to breakthrough to Rank 2 God or even God King. This is the biggest benefit that far surpasses the disadvantage."
Alex nodded in agreement. "From what I have learned, there are not many Rank 1 God or God Kings, right?"
"Yes. Korzan might have told you, but we have expanded our investigation and found many worlds, including their God Rank Expert. At that time, we found around thirty-two God Kings. Although they are very far from us, it's better to take note of them too. Including the fourteen new God Kings around our planets, we have found forty-six God Kings… Excluding me.
"Of course, we don't need to worry about those that are far away since they are not an immediate threat, so we only need to watch out these fourteen God Kings."
"New God Kings…" Alex let out a long sigh. He remembered that many God Kings seemed to have died because of the battle against Earth, so the previous Alex didn't have the strength to kill the beast and had to seal him by sacrificing his own life.
"In any case, we are grateful to see that not many of them are angry at me right now." Alex sighed.
"Yeah. For the time being, we will try to hide you until you reach Rank 5 God, so you really need to work hard. We might need to start journeying to many worlds to search for a few Divine Herbs to increase your strength earlier."
"Sure. I will settle everything first before going to other worlds." Alex thought for a moment. "Back to the topic, I remember that you said Anna and the others could raise their EXPs by using my Spirit Crystal, right?"
"Yeah. You can try taking out a Spirit Crystal and Anna's card."
Alex followed her instruction.
"Then channel your Divine Energy to Anna's card."
Alex channeled his energy, only to find Anna's card glowing before absorbing the Spirit Crystal in his other hand. He then took another look at her status.
[Anna (Dark)
Level: 81 (Rank 10 God)
Exp: 30001/999999]
"…" Alex widened his eyes. "One point?"
"Yeah. What can you expect? Do you think it's easy to level up after reaching God Stage?" She shrugged.
"Well, there is still good news about this. At the very least, I know that Eulja will be protected by many God Kings in the future." Alex smiled.
"Indeed. We can start farming Spirit Crystals and pour them into cultivation, allowing Anna and the others to reach the pinnacle. At that time, not a single of your enemies will dare to harbor an ominous feeling against you." Lin Xingzhi smirked evilly.
"Yeah."
"Though you need… Maybe a billion Spirit Crystals to level them up to Rank 1 God?"
"Wait. What?!" Alex widened his eyes before coughing. "Are you serious?"
"Yeah. Well, the total amount of Spirit Crystals that Eulja possesses might be able to level up Anna to God King if necessary, so you can rest assured. We still have enough trump cards."
Considering how Lin Xingzhi calculated them, it seemed that the experience points needed for each level wouldn't be linear anymore, making it hard to predict.
"Alright. Time to search for money then." Alex sighed. "I have asked Korzan to search for a world to activate my Divine Gacha System, so I am waiting for him later. I hope you cooperate with this."
"Don't worry. I will do everything possible." Lin Xingzhi changed the topic after finishing the talk about Spirit Crystals. "I would like to bring up a matter regarding your Undying Fire Body."
"Korzan told me that you should have at least found one item…" Alex's expression turned serious.
"Yeah. I have found the fifth material, Fire Grass."
"Where is it?"
"It's in a cultivation world that you are very familiar with." She smiled.
"That world?"
"Nope. A similar one, but this world has something called Martial Spirit. You can say that it is an inborn strength that one possesses… Hmm, how should I say this?" Lin Xingzhi thought for a moment. "To put it simply, they are like the people from Phantasm Sect, but inborn."
"Ah! That kind of world." Alex immediately recognized this type of world. "Where is it?"
"It is in the hand of a young boy from a good family. Well, he is trash."
"Wait, wait!" Alex stopped her and asked. "Let me guess; his family is prominent only in a city that is known to be the weakest. And he actually has a talent higher than anyone else but can't use it at all. And his family treats him coldly."
"Well, his family is not treating him coldly since they have gone. The young boy is living with his uncle along with his little sister."
Alex facepalmed and chuckled. "Is the boy the MC of that world? Never mind, if he is like this, his talent is good but not that good, especially compared to his little sister. Still, the MC of a certain world huh…"
"Well, you are a kind of one too, you know. Nonetheless, this is real life. You can't expect all the plot armors coming to you."
"That's why I always emphasize information gathering. I am simply not that confident to deal with something that I am not unfamiliar with." Alex sighed.
"Anyway, that is the condition of the boy who possesses the Fire Grass. It seems to be an inheritance from his parents. In fact, that is the reason his parents died."
"Hmm… I don't like robbing someone even if I can kill them with a single wave of my hand." Alex thought for a moment. "What should I trade?"
"You can think about it later since we can go to him after finishing your matter."
"In that case, I propose for sister Xingzhi to be the only one accompanying him." Alicia raised her hand in confidence.
"I agree." Firia nodded without hesitation.
"Uhn."
"I think it's the best choice."
"Yeah."
Anna and Anya seemed to agree as well, signaling Alex a certain thing.
"You guys…" Lin Xingzhi furrowed her eyebrows. "I don't want to monopolize him."
"We know. Although you have been with him this whole time, you are in the form of a system. That's why I want you to spend Alex not as a system, but as Lin Xingzhi, his wife. But it doesn't diminish the fact that you are his system, so we will only allow this one time." Alicia smiled, trying to persuade her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe wanted to give her more, but Lin Xingzhi would most likely reject the idea, so this was the borderline.
"Well, it's true that I have spent at least more time with all of you here in person, but I haven't done anything to her. If you agree with this, then…" Alex glanced at Lin Xingzhi and asked her with a smile. "Would you accompany me?"
"I'd love to." Lin Xingzhi couldn't thank the girls enough for their consideration.
Alex then hugged her. It seemed he also needed to prepare a plan for their honeymoon here. Their original objective might be the Fire Grass, but it didn't mean they couldn't have a few days or months of freedom to enjoy the time together.
Besides, it might be a good idea to refine his Undying Fire Body there because no one was strong enough to bother him.
"Since it's like that, I have found another clue about the next material, the Undying Blaze Root. We are trying to track them, but the progress is a bit slow. At the very least, we have narrowed the suspect from a thousand worlds to only three worlds. By the time you have finished refining the fifth material, we might have finished our investigation… So, you might want to go there immediately. Of course, along with everyone."
"That is a good idea." Alex nodded. "I will be leaving the investigation to you."
"Sure."
"Then I think we should end it here and prepare for the journey to Agar World." Alex smiled.
Alicia, Firia, and Sherry nodded their heads. "Alright!"
They then ended the meeting, returning to their own jobs.
Two days later.
Alex met the three girls in front of the castle as Lin Xingzhi and the others saw them off.
Alex and the three girls started their journey to the three girls' home planet with Alex's Teleportation Array. He had no intention to stop along the way and finally arrived in an hour. It was a very long trip.
If he used the technology from Earth, he might need a few thousand years to cover the distance.
Nonetheless, he arrived at a green planet. He just realized that not much water could be seen on the surface.
In fact, the planet seemed to be thirty percent filled with water while the rest are lands. If the world didn't have war or anything and kept reproducing, they might use up all the water on the planet and go extinct.
Alicia and Firia seemed to have no particular feeling about this. By the time it happened, their family might already have a few hundred generations. At that time, it was better to focus on the family in Eulja instead of this place.
Even if the need arose, they could transport the water that Alex had. Since he had dried the whole planet in the past that was way bigger than this, his supply wouldn't run out soon even after filling this planet.
Alex activated his barrier, enveloping all four of them.
"I am sorry, but I need to seal your cultivation here because I am not sure I am able to seal it fast enough later."
"Sure."
"Go ahead."
"I'm ready."
The three replied as Alex nodded his head and started sealing their power. He then snapped his hand and teleported them inside the planet.
"Now, where are we going to end up?" Alex smiled as he disappeared along with the other three girls.
