809 World Alliance

The one that was troubled the most was Aileen. She wasn't their Freedom Sect since the one who handled the management was Licht. Hence, she interrupted them by saying. "I am sorry, but I would like to call the real representatives first."

Alex glanced at her and nodded. "Please."

Aileen nodded and used her Spatial Gate to disappear for a few minutes before another Spatial Gate appeared. Only Licht emerged from that portal as he said, "Great Elder can't participate because I need to send her somewhere. Please forgive me."

Alex shrugged. "Never mind. We are going to talk about this portal."

"You said that there is a relation between the Gods' and Goddesses' disappearance with this portal… Is this true?" Elizabeth was the first to step up and asked.

"Yes. The problem is where do you want to hear it?"

"Of course, it's—" Just as she was about to say "Here", Alex stopped her with a hand gesture and a smile.

"There is another option, in which you hear it from themselves." Alex continued, shocking everyone's heart.

"Are you saying we can meet Gods and Goddesses right now?" With Elizabeth's question, they thought Alex's Spirit Nest might be hiding a God Rank Expert.

Alex nodded but immediately corrected their thinking. "Didn't you meet a few of them not long ago?"

"Do you mean the Ancient Battlefield?" Elizabeth exclaimed in surprise. Everyone was also baffled because they could see the Ancient Ruin had been reduced into a pile of rubble. Even with them, they were not strong enough to activate the array.

"Impossible. We can't go there right now." Davi remarked with a loud voice.

"Why? Is it because of the Rank 9 Array?" Alex smiled.

"!!!" They were speechless this time. Normally, they called the array surpassed rank 8 Array with Divine Array because they were special arrays. But seeing how Alex treated those arrays as only one step further than their previous array… No words came to their minds.

"It's only a Special Realm made by rank 9 Array. As long as you have knowledge about it, you can enter easily." Alex shrugged.

"You can enter?"

"Yes. And I wanted to ask you whether you want to hear it from them or from me?"

The answer was obvious. It would be better to listen to the sources. And yet, the bomb that Alex dropped just now was too big for them to recover in a short time.

However, Elizabeth seemed to have noticed something absurd as she asked with a loud voice. "You… Don't tell me… The one that first came inside the pillar was you? No, it should be Firia Sirius… Wait! Since you can enter the array as you wish… You… You also came and helped her to meet those supreme beings…"

"Anyway, I have promised them to enter the tower again with all of you in tow because they want to request help from you guys to solve this problem. And we are going to collaborate with the people inside that place. What do you think?" Alex asked with a calm face, wondering if he needed to negotiate or threaten them after this.

However, he seemed to have underestimated how much the God Rank Experts changed everyone's view. It was enough to incite the curiosity and greed in their heart.

"If you are going to that place, then I don't think I will have any complaints." Song Hun nodded with a smile. "I will be going with you."

The rest also thought the same. Even if they didn't answer, it was obvious they were raring to go.

"Good. Let's go then." Alex smirked before looking at Firia. "Can you help the others with our preparation? This will be a long fight for us. They are fighting the monsters over there."

"Sure." Firia nodded and flew away.

With this, only seven people remained. "I am going to open the hole around their barrier and let you guys in with my gate. During the altering process, I need you to guard me."

"Don't worry. This old man will protect you to the best of my ability." Song Hun nodded while taking out his sword.

The rest also took out their weapons, ready to go.

"Before going, I am going to brief you on our current condition." Alex stopped them first. "I just want you to know the scale of what we will be experiencing from now on. She must have said that it's better to talk to me first to know whether you are participating, right?"

"Now that you mention it…" They almost forgot about it because of the lure of the God Rank Experts. Some of them had seen those people in the past, and they knew the wisdom and benefits they would get by meeting these people. Hence, they thought this was an unimportant topic.

However, Alex wanted to know whether they were prepared to lay down their life just to fix this problem or not. If they didn't have this kind of resolve, he needed another plan.

"I am sorry. It seems we have been too rude." Song Hun took a deep breath and continued. "It's obvious that this matter will shock the entire world. That's why you must be asking us to settle the resolve right here and right now. In that case, it will be better to listen to what you have to say first."

Alex nodded. "To be honest, there will be a few million monsters coming out of that portal. Probably, a third of them will be either Martial Monarch or Martial Saints."

"…" They widened their eyes, never expecting to be that much.

"Yeah. Of course, it's stable right now, so you don't need to worry about it right now because the rate of monsters spawning from that place isn't big yet. However, I am sure that the weaklings are entering this place to probe our territories first.

"After that, the boss of these monsters will come to this place." Alex's expression turned grim.

*Gulp--* One of them gulped a bit too hard to the point it resounded in everyone's ears.

"What I want to do is to have you bring all your forces to stop them in this place for three years. Even if we can't eradicate them, it's enough to hold them back until the portal is closed. And I know that our seven influences are not enough to fight them.

"And as much as you want to blame me for killing the Fire God Clan and Snow White Mountain, you can't. It's simple. You don't know my identity, and the fact that I know more than you are enough reason for you to say nothing.

"That's why I am thinking about involving the people from the Northern Continent and the Sacred Continent. For them, it will be a great opportunity. For us, they have a great number of Martial Kings and Martial Emperors to fight these monsters.

"Still, three years is a very long time. I believe we will have so many sacrifices at this point, and every influence will get weakened at this point. That's why I would like to have an alliance between seven influences that will last for a century… Except me, of course." Alex smiled and finished his explanation with a nod.

"The World Alliance…" Elizabeth exclaimed in surprise. Although it was a name that she thought of on the fly, it was a name befitted their current situation. "Still, I have another problem with this alliance. It's already hard enough to make an alliance between two influences, and you want…"

Alex let out a sigh, knowing how smart and skeptical she was. He stopped her again with confidence. "I know how hard it's… That's why we don't need any complicated agreement."

"A simple agreement…" They thought for a moment before they realized Alex's true aim.

"Yes. The moment any alliance uses spy or attack another influence, they will be besieged by the six influences and razed to the ground." Alex said with a serious expression.

"!!!" Suddenly, the memory of him being Harbinger of Death rang on everyone's mind, knowing that there would be no one left alive if such a thing happened. That was why his name brought so many pressures to this alliance, making it more realistic to come to fruition. Albeit, his existence brought a flaw to this argument.

"But… You said your Spirit Nest is an exception. May I know what is the reason?" Elizabeth asked.

"After reaching God Stage myself along with the others, we are planning to leave this world. That's why it's a bit useless for us." Alex nodded.

"In that case, this alliance is nothing but an empty agreement. If there is someone who can oversee the agreement, it will be you… As much as we want to brag, we believe we are not qualified to raise an alliance. The moment you are gone, no influence will uphold this agreement."

"You are truly a smart one…" Alex gently smiled and let out a sigh. "Still, I want to show you something."

Alex snapped his finger, surrounding himself with Space Element. Suddenly, his Spiritual Energy is sucked into something along with his soul. His cultivation base decreased to the point it reached Martial King Stage.

"Check my Cultivation and my Soul."

The group furrowed their eyebrows and checked, only to find something so shocking.

"This… Both your Cultivation Base and your Soul are at Martial King Stage."

Alex snapped his finger again to unseal his power and nodded. "As much as I don't want to use it, as you have witnessed earlier, I can seal my power. The world will only recognize me as a mere Spirit King. In other words, even if I leave this world, I can come back."

The group frowned, knowing that Alex showed them that he could still uphold the agreement even if he reached God Stage.

They understood what this meant and realized it was impossible to break this agreement if Alex decided to oversee the world. In that case, there was no need to be scared if an influence broke this agreement. They would be besieged not only by the other influences but also by a God Rank Expert.

It was something far scarier than facing the other influences.

With this, Alex sealed the deal.

"I, Elizabeth, will agree to this alliance." Elizabeth was the first one to react. "Still, if only I were born in the Willow Continent instead, I would have a long time to seduce you… Fufu…"

"Give it up. Nothing will change." Alex shrugged.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes. She had told him about becoming her husband, but it was already a pipe dream from the start.

On the other hand, Song Hun also agreed to this alliance. Seeing this kind of ability and Alex's knowledge about Rank 9 Array, he must have some connections with God Rank Experts. He had no reason to not accept this alliance anymore. Besides, it would be good because Song Jiaoren needed to go to the main clan during that time. After another hundred years, he should have gained a stepping there and might bring fortune to the clan.

Seeing these two agreed, the others also agreed.

"Then it's time to go." Alex nodded, asking them to follow him.

…

A few minutes later, they arrived in the same spot where Alex created a hole with the group spread out to protect him.

"Spatial Gate!" Alex opened the gate after creating a hole. Since he only made a small hole because of the time and his usual habit, the Spatial Gate was also for one person. That was why they were going to retreat and enter one by one, with him being the last one.

The people realized this and retreated from the furthest people. One by one gradually came inside the portal and fell to the Special Realm.

When Alex's turn came, Sherry and the others summoned the fire to protect him while he entered the portal, but suddenly…

A powerful Shockwave cut the portal, slashing the portal into two. At the same time, Alex suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach area as he flew and crashed to the ground a few hundred meters away from the Ancient Ruin.

*Bam!*
