Chapter 712 - Song Tao

"I will be finishing the verification process. May I borrow your card again?" Song Jiaoren asked politely.

Alex took out his Supreme VIP Card and handed it to Song Jiaoren.

The moment Song Jiaoren turned around and walked toward a certain direction, he noticed something absurd that his heart refused to believe.

"That…" Alex dropped his jaw to the ground, never thinking that he would meet this device again in this world.

In the corner of the room, a certain device in the shape of a block sat down on a wooden table. Next to the box was another device with a screen on it. There were also two more devices, but Alex already realized what they are in a single glance.

'Aren't that a computer along with a mouse and a keyboard?' Alex blinked his eyes a few times.

Next to the computer was a glass box with a certain symbol. Song Jiaoren put the card inside the glass box, and the symbol glowed brightly, revealing a red color of the card and a symbol made of that red glow.

Song Jiaoren was mesmerized for a while before he took a look at the screen. A catalog appeared on the screen as he kept scrolling down until he reached the bottom of the page.

There was the same VIP Card with a symbol the same as the one that the glass box showed him. He then clicked the image and checked the authenticity.

Unbeknownst to them, the world out there was in an uproar.

…

In a certain room far far away from the world's Alex currently in.

A woman and a middle-aged man were sitting face to face with serious expressions. The man looked very eager to talk while the woman was calmly talking with her assistance.

The woman was Lin Xingzhi. She was confronting this excited old man… And how this happened? It started from an hour ago…

…

One hour ago…

In Eulja, Lin Xingzhi rose from her seat and called Zark.

"Milady?" Zark appeared almost instantly with his Space Ability.

"They will soon know about his reincarnation, so I think this will be the perfect time to meet the old friend." Lin Xingzhi smirked.

"Blackwade Clan, is it? I will bring Milady there." Zark nodded.

"Wait a minute. I will call Alicia to take care of Alex in the meantime."

"I understand." Zark bowed politely and teleported them to the Ice Phoenix Tribe.

"Hmm? Do you want to say something?" Lin Xingzhi furrowed her eyebrows after noticing the strange expression on Zark's face.

"I am just happy that Master will soon reach God Stage… Though I believe we won't be able to hide this for long, and Master's past enemies might come to him."

"Don't worry. Unlike the previous us, our influence isn't restricted only to Eulja. We have expanded so big, so Alex won't need to share the burden along. However, I am just worried about another thing. The fact that he has reincarnated means… No, never mind." Lin Xingzhi let out a long sigh.

"I understand. Destroying a few worlds doesn't mean much anyway." Zark nodded. "However, if Blackwade Clan knows about his existence, I am afraid that he will come to him."

"Him? Oh, that guy…" Lin Xingzhi nodded. "Anyway, he is not our enemy. Considering his characteristic, he will just cause small trouble… and will increase our strength to protect Alex until he reaches the peak again."

"I understand."

After talking with Zark, she then went to Alicia and told them what to do. Alicia happily accepted the job and headed to the castle while Zark and Lin Xingzhi disappeared from Eulja.

…

Somewhere far away, on a certain planet stood tall a building filled with glasses. If Alex were here, he would think this building was like a modern city building. The height alone was one hundred stories high.

On the top floor, a red-haired middle-aged man stood near the window and watched the world outside. He looked like someone in his late thirties with a red vest and formal black and white suits.

"To think our clan has become this big."

Suddenly, someone slammed the door open, entering the room in a rush. "Patriarch. We have an emergency."

The middle-aged man turned around and found a young lady entering his room.

"Silvia. What happened? For my assistant to have this kind of appearance, it is not pleasant to see." The middle-aged man furrowed his eyebrows.

"We have just gotten the signal for our Blackwade Clan's Supreme VIP Card." She said while panting.

"Is that so? Are they coming to our world? Just prepared the banquet as usual, and I will greet them later."

"No… You do not understand." She shook her head furiously.

"…" The middle-aged man fell into silence before he realized what she meant. "Is there any Supreme VIP Card Holder that needs our help? We will prepare the disciples and help him/her."

"No. You misunderstand. We have just scanned a Supreme VIP Card."

"Oh. I thought you had something important to tell me when you came in a rush like that. It turned out to be that case." The middle-aged man sighed as he grabbed the teacup and sipped it to calm his heart.

"And if I tell you that it's the Spirit God's Supreme VIP Card?"

*Clank!*

The room fell into silence after the glass fell and shattered on the floor. The middle-aged man looked at her and blinked his eyes a few times like a broken robot.

The silence continued for a minute before he asked, "What did you say?"

"It's true. We have gotten the information about Spirit God's Supreme VIP Card."

"Which Spirit God?"

"It's the one and only Spirit God of Eulja. Eulja won't need our help at this point, and we know they are not threatened by any worlds. That's why the fact that Spirit God's Supreme VIP Card appears is…"

The middle-aged man was shaking as he gasped. "The Spirit God has come back? Wait! The Supreme VIP Card should be in the Nature Goddess, Lin Xingzhi's hand. She wouldn't give it to anyone, and the fact that we haven't heard about an outstanding God Rank Expert from Eulja…"

Suddenly, another person also came in. It was a huge muscular man wearing a military uniform. "Patriarch. Nature Goddess wants to meet you. She has been waiting outside. Should we let her enter our world?"

The middle-aged man's expression turned dark. "Of course, invite her in right now."

…

Back to the present,

The middle-aged man was staring at Lin Xingzhi, who was calmly drinking her tea.

"It's been a while, Mistress Lin Xingzhi," the middle-aged man greeted her politely.

"Has it been one thousand years or two thousand years since we last talked?" Lin Xingzhi looked at him with a smile.

"Ahaha…" The middle-aged man scratched his head, embarrassed. "Does your visit today concern—!"

Before he finished his word, Lin Xingzhi nodded. "That's what I want to talk about."

"Then, Sir Alexander Sirius really has come back?" The middle-aged man stood up in excitement.

"Don't get too excited first. He is not the same person you are thinking of… And probably won't become the person in your head. Not that I care though, since I love him whether it's in the past or the present." Lin Xingzhi shrugged.

"Does he not get his memory back?"

"From my speculation, it seems he refuses to insert the memory of his past life to the current body. Though his quirks and characters are still the same… Just a bit milder because he is not plagued by his strength anymore. But I can say his strength is still the same or even better…"

The middle-aged man fell into silence before letting out a long sigh. "I see."

"Still… To think that you are still excited even after a few thousand years… I still remember when you first met him, you were still a little boy, Song Tao. Now, you are looking like a middle-aged man." Lin Xingzhi smiled.

"Please don't tease me, Mistress. This appearance suits me the most, especially if I want to handle the matter in this big clan. If this displeases your eyes, I can return to my original appearance."

"Haha… You were blessed with that merchant brain of yours and created this big Merchant Clan in a few thousand years. I think your wealth already surpasses us?"

"Meeting him was the luckiest thing I had in my life. If he didn't help me, I wouldn't even be able to struggle my way up. He was a mentor and a big brother figure to me." Song Tao shook his head. "As for my clan… I don't want to boast, but I should have the same level of money as your Eulja… But if you are adding your Father's, the Time God, and Sir Alex's personal coffers… I am just a mere pebble."

"Well, he often got all the resources after destroying many worlds, so it was normal to have that many personal belongings… I only had a portion of it though. The rest would be for the current him to handle."

"The only place that only he knows where it is… Encore. I believe his friend or you can say his rival is searching for it these few thousand years."

Lin Xingzhi shrugged and refused to talk about it. "In any case, I want to talk about his matter."

"I understand. Does Mistress want me to do something?" Song Tao knew her stance and didn't pursue the matter further.

"I only want you to hide the fact that he has reincarnated. The ones who handle Supreme VIPs are your trusted subordinates, right? Just control them for a while… Although his cultivation speed will suffer after entering God Stage, we can somehow boost it with enough resources. If he can receive the inheritances of his previous life, it will be better. That's why I want to hide this matter, so his past enemies won't search for him too soon."

"I see. Friends and people loyal to him naturally gathered around him because of his unique charm, but he also made many enemies back then. Even when he eliminated some, there were still many of them coming at him. It was only stopped after he sacrificed his life, and all of us who he helped stood up together."

"Yeah. Unfortunately, not many of you are around now. That's why I want him to get stronger first. I will try to guide him around to the worlds that don't have their influences. As long as we have a hundred years, no one would dare to attack him and Eulja."

"I understand. I will make sure no one knows about his reincarnation." Song Tao nodded in a solemn expression.

"One more thing. I won't call our past allies because I don't know whether they are still allies or not, especially since most of them have their descendants take over their influences. If they are neutral, then so be it. If they are still friendly, I won't mind having their help. But if they are hostile…" Lin Xingzhi released her killing intent.

"Don't worry. My Blackwade Clan will help you monitor them. If they have any suspicious movement and have a certain deal with us about him, we will inform you." Song Tao nodded.

Lin Xingzhi nodded. "You are a bit different than the rest after all."

"Haha… Everything is about give and take for me. He has saved my life a few times and helped me build everything from scratch, it's time for me to repay him. Besides, my debt to him is infinite, so I will always be his ally." Song Tao laughed with a sincere face.

Lin Xingzhi closed her eyes with a smile. "You are really a unique one… Anyway, that's all I want to say. I will leave immediately."

"I understand. But If I may ask, I wonder what is his situation right now? I really want to meet him again, even if it's not the same."

"Hmm… He is fine. Just destroying some influences… Maybe he will destroy some worlds when he becomes a God Rank Expert. Anyway, he is an 8-Star Martial Monarch right now."

"I see. That's certainly like him." Song Tao chuckled.

"Take care then." Lin Xingzhi waved her hand as Zark created a Teleportation Array, and both of them disappeared.
