Alex acquired a whopping forty-five billion Spirit Crystals from a single pill. It turned out that the person who bought the pill was an old man that had tried to do everything possible to heal his grandson because of a certain poison that made his grandson disabled.
Because of that, he used every single good thing in his body to raise that much money the moment he knew about the pill and Alex's Pure Fire. After knowing that, he knew why he could get so much money.
Although he had seen many people who tried to destroy him, he also saw many people who were sincere to their closest ones.
After that, Alex returned to his room and decided to change his direction. Instead of returning to Eulja, he decided to process everything on the planet Lin Xingzhi attacked now and ended up getting more information from the father after she captured him alive with the help of God of Destruction.
Alex found Lin Xingzhi and Anna waiting for him.
"How about it?"
"With the help of someone, we have managed to know a few things. We may have no information about their location, but we know that the Angel is hiding among the 32 God Kings in this universe and two of the Bats have done so as well. Unfortunately, we don't have much information about their pets." Lin Xingzhi shook her head in disappointment.
"Well, we can subtract four of them since we have identified them. And with the God Kings around us and those who have died… We can narrow it down by half." Alex nodded with a serious expression.
"Ah, by the way, you've confronted that Roy, right?"
"Yes, why?"
"According to his father, who is the real pet, he has granted that power to him, not the Phoenix Queen. And all the people that have this power come from him alone. That's the privilege of being a pet. Hence, we can't really locate the Phoenix Nest… Only a couple of clues we may be able to use to find their place. I will send it to N Squad after this."
Alex nodded. "I understand. You can do whatever you need to do."
"Alright. We will be finished here in a week or so and proceed to Anna and Jeanne's advancement. What do you think?"
"Sure." Alex agreed and turned to Anna. "Are you ready, Anna?"
"Of course. I don't have the confidence in using the power of God King to the fullest potential, but as long as Jeanne and I can hold back one of the God King from their side, I think it's good enough, right?"
Alex nodded. "That will help our situation."
"Then, are you going to stay here for a week?"
"No. I will go to the two worlds you'd recommended and build my dungeon. Of course, I will return with all of you together to Eulja to refine my Undying Fire Body and witness the birth of two God Kings." Alex nodded with a smile.
"Sure thing. It's not like you need to research those two worlds again anyway, considering the information is already enough." Lin Xingzhi agreed and let him go.
"Well, that's because you have compiled the information so precisely after the first two experiences." Alex smiled. "I only need to bring the dungeon over and talk with the World's Will."
"Yep. Do you want me to find anything from this place?"
"Not really. I will leave everything to you." Alex nodded and took a few steps back, saying goodbye to everyone before using his Teleportation Array to go to another world.
The first world was an Upper World filled with cultivation. The dungeons served as a place to train yourself as Alex intended. Obviously, he made sure that the dungeons were made of Rank 9 Materials so no one would be able to take it and considered the fact that this world wasn't in the jurisdiction of a Divine World.
In other words, no clue would be linked up to him or at least they would need a very long time to discover it. By that time, Alex didn't even need to hide it anymore.
Alex completed the agreement, scouting, and building in just three days. The second one was also the same, but people called cultivation magic despite having the same root. Either way, Alex didn't talk to any people in that place and mysteriously turned the world upside down by the appearance of the dungeons.
Although the system was not active in those two worlds, he would still get a huge number of Spirit Crystals due to the Spiritual Energy released from the dying beasts.
All in all, the process was smooth and Alex returned to Lin Xingzhi and the others not long after.
After exploring every nook and corner, Alex finally ordered a retreat for his forces before saying his thanks to the God of Destruction for assisting them.
And just like that, Alex had concluded this journey with so many resources. After all, if he needed to add up the resources of the Divine World and any worlds around it along with the money he got from selling pills, he almost reached two hundred billion Spirit Crystals.
He only needed around another three hundred to four hundred billion Spirit Crystals from Eulja's treasury before leveling up two God Kings.
As soon as they returned, Anna and Jeanne were sitting down side by side. Because they were curious, the Elemental Gods, Guardians, and Commandants came to the castle for a moment to witness the birth of God Kings.
Because she feared that Anna would face a life and death ordeal, Jeanne offered to level up first to make sure that this was smooth sailing.
Alex obviously rebuked her and argued with her for a few minutes before Jeanne started begging him because she couldn't escape the guilt that she "wasted" almost eight hundred Billion Spirit Crystals just to become a God King.
Alex ended up discussing this with the others and ultimately accepted her demand.
"Xingzhi."
[Okay.]
[Processing.]
[Complete.]
[Jeanne (Thunder)
Level: 90 (Rank 1 God)
Exp: 0/->
Suddenly, Jeanne's body released blue lightning as it spread around without her consent.
Even Lin Xingzhi ended up coming here to make sure everything was alright. She even claimed that what they were seeing was the universe forcing her to take up a chunk of Law because her existence couldn't be recognized had she not understood the Law.
They were surprised when Jeanne's skin was torn because of the lightning and Alex wanted to stop this inevitable process, but the lightning surprisingly absorbed her blood as if demanding her.
Although her face became pale, they could see that her power was getting stronger at a fast rate.
The blue lightning slowly turned into red lightning as if it was made of blood, yet, Alex could see with his Spirit Eyes that this lightning was far stronger than the previous blue lightning.
Despite the pain and suffering she needed to endure, Jeanne didn't even scream. It might be because she was a strong person to begin with, but Alex could see that color started coming back to her skin, showing that everything was going to be alright.
Suddenly, she opened her mouth and chanted.
"True Spirit Body, Ethereal Lightning Body."
Normally, the lightning in her body would burst out and release a powerful might, but his Spirit Eyes told him that her True Spirit Body actually allowed her to absorb the red lightning around her body.
Her blonde hair gradually turned red like the blood lightning as she gradually opened her eyes. Instead of her beautiful blue pupil, it was completely dyed red.
The moment that eyes tensed up, the lightning burst out and attacked all the surroundings. Alex and the others quickly reinforced the place with their Divine Energy to prevent her from destroying it, but they soon overjoyed when they saw Jeanne come out successfully.
In the almost destroyed ground, Jeanne stood there with her petite body. Her eyes completely gave a different aura as if she was bloodthirsty or something. She even released her killing intent.
The others wondered whether she had lost her mind and took out their weapons.
But the answer soon came in the form of action.
Jeanne raised her hand and concentrated lightning from her hand before a massive Lightning Disturbance appeared right above the sky.
When the others were about to stop her, Alex shouted. "Stop! Not a single of you will touch her and open the barriers."
The people were completely astounded by his request but fulfilled it either way.
They once got another shock when the lightning disturbance sent forth red lightning down to their position, but they soon realized that the red lightning struck her instead of anyone else as if it was a baptism.
It was also at that moment, all lightning disappeared, turning the chaotic situation into tranquil in just a split second.
Jeanne used her full speed and boosted it with lightning power to jump at Alex and hug him.
"Master!"
"Eh? What?!"
"I have succeeded. My Lightning Law understanding has been increased by hundreds of times when I'm in my True Spirit Body. In other words, this may be called the side effect or whatever, but I think I have understood it.
"If I let go of my True Spirit Body, I would become a pseudo God King, meaning that I'm strong enough to not let any single of Rank 2 God to beat me, but I won't be a challenge against a God King.
"Only if I use my True Spirit Body can I actually fight them. In other words, I may be able to become a God King for one day but can't do it again for the rest of the week."
Tears eventually formed on her tears as she couldn't help but cry like a child. "I'm glad… I'm glad that I didn't disappoint Master."
The people there made a weird smile as they looked at each other, not knowing what to say. It could be said that the experiment succeeded, but the side effect was severe. In fact, even if they could become a God King, she might have stood no chance against Leoz, who reached God King stage in a formal way.
Alex cared nothing of the side effect and only felt glad that she was alright. He patted her head and hugged her back. "That's good."
Alex consoled her until she regained her bearing before they discussed what she found during the ordeal.
"Sit down, I think we need to know what you get to know and experience.
"I understand." Jeanne nodded and recalled. "When my cultivation reached God King, there was a huge amount of information to take on. I couldn't even scream because of the pain, but I tried to hold onto it and understood the information. I couldn't explain what kind of information that was…"
"Well, Law is something that can't be described but can be understood." Lin Xingzhi added. "You can actually explain it to other people, but when they face the Law itself, they know that the explanation is the vaguest thing they could ever know about Law. I'm sure that all the people here have experienced it even if it's just a little."
All the people, including Alex, nodded their heads in agreement.
"After that, it's like a choice of myself to be what I want to be according to my deepest personality. After experiencing all the things in my life, I have realized that my blood is the most important thing to me. Using my blood as a catalyst, I manage to connect with the Law. Last but not least, I use the most amazing True Spirit Body to be the house for that kind of power. All in all, I think I can be called Lightning Goddess… After this?"
"Hahaha! That means Zerah will lose her title." Agnis laughed before getting an elbow from her.
"I am Lightning Elemental Goddess, not Lightning Goddess."
The group laughed and congratulated Jeanne for becoming a God King. And Jeanne dropped another bomb.
"Although I'm like this right now, I feel like I can gradually comprehend the Law stored in my True Spirit Body, so the side effect can be lessened over time and I can officially become a God King. In other words, even if they don't have the chance to become a God King, this system is actually helping us to understand what it means and teach us how to become a God King."
Everyone dropped their jaws to the ground as Agnis couldn't help but comment.
"Do we still have enough time for me to reset my cultivation and try to become a God King?"
