Chapter 1140: Sun God Fire

Alex arrived at a certain star that Lin Xingzhi'd informed him about. He looked from top to bottom, seeing no difference other than the amount of Fire Energy, its brightness and the size.

"Well, what can I expect? It's not like I should wish for a blue star or something, right?" Alex shook his head helplessly as his Pure Fire instinctively came out to check the star.

"Hmm? Is it a challenge? No, it's like my Godly Pure Fire has taken an interest in this sun. What? Don't tell me he actually wants to get married?" Alex's face became pale before shrugging with a joking face. "Alright. Jokes aside, my power seems to be attracted to this star, so I guess it's fine to take advantage of this sun."

Alex contemplated for a moment and flew forward, entering the sun. As one would expect from a hot plasma, he had no trouble entering the sun as if he swam in viscous water.

The feeling was new, but he didn't mind it and used his Spirit Eyes to see the core where the Sun Essence gathered.

After diving for another two minutes, he came to a halt. His speed wasn't that great anyway so as to not miss anything.

"That place where it's brighter than anywhere else." Alex narrowed his eyes and quickly came toward that place.

He felt an intense heat that was hard to take even for his Godly Pure Fire. "I see. So this is the Sun Fire… The reason for the "Phoenix" to be able to fight Fire God equally was due to this essence. They simply had a fire of the same level.

However, Alex might be the first one that advanced the fire even further by combining both of them at once, but it all came down to his talent.

Whether he could evolve his Pure Fire even further or not would depend on his effort in this. He then sat in a lotus float while floating around the area as he began to attract the Sun Essence with his Pure Fire, slowly absorbing it into his body.

The Sun Essence itself was a kind of crystallization from this sun and could only be born after billions of years just to create a small droplet. Yet, this star had a big one and was so bright. Alex had no doubt that this star could last another billion if not trillions of years.

Unfortunately, it needed to come to an end because Alex truly needed its power.

Alex absorbed it without hesitation.

The process took a very long time and every time the Sun Essence entered, his Pure Fire started entangling itself to the Sun Essence, trying to make it as its friend before swallowing it as a whole.

At that time, Alex realized that it also refined a Divine Energy for him to absorb. In other words, Alex could increase his cultivation while absorbing the Sun Essence. This was what he needed to reach Rank 3 God this soon.

Alex became even more fired up to cultivate as his path had been set.

After six months, Alex finally noticed the difference. He had absorbed a fourth of the Sun Essence, which could be visible by his Spirit Eyes, but more importantly, his Pure Fire had started to have a change.

His chaotic and prideful Pure Fire mellowed a bit as if it had matured up like that of a human. At the same time, the color slightly changed as there were slivers of golden flame among the Pure Fire.

Alex savored the feeling and continued, expecting something good from this transformation.

Another six months had passed and the progress remained the same this whole time. His Fire now had two colors, Gold and Red. The two seemed to be fighting for supremacy, but Alex simply used his Authority to stop both of them since the Red would gradually turn into Gold.

Finally, after a long twenty months, Alex had officially broken through to Rank 3 God and became the youngest in history. In fact, he had become the "first" since he reached Rank 8 God, considering Rank 9 and Rank 10 Gods were occupied by Alicia.

He almost finished absorbing the Sun Essence too and noticed the difference between his previous Godly Pure Fire and this new incomplete fire. Although Godly Pure Fire was already the purest form of fire and the Sun Essence couldn't add on the purity anymore, the Sun Essence became even more focused on his power instead.

Alex's red fire had almost turned into Golden Fire and Alex seemed to be thinking of a new name he needed to give for this new type of fire that surpassed Fire God's Godly Pure Fire.

While thinking about the new name, Alex also checked the situation about the Sun Essence and the star itself. As one would expect, the temperature had decreased exponentially with ninety percent of its energy absorbed.

At the same time, the size had shrunk by half. All nearby planets had grown cold because of this change.

That was why Alex asked Lin Xingzhi to find him a star that had no "living" planets or he would murder them indirectly.

After another few months, it was time for Alex to complete the evolution.

The sun had disappeared completely before another one appeared when the residual of his Red Fire gushed out of its body, feeling that it wasn't their home anymore.

Alex waved his hand and it disappeared in an instant, leaving Alex's figure in the empty void.

"Huft." Alex's expression turned serious as he raised his hand. Golden fire emerged from his hand before he released everything from his body. The dark outer space was brightened by a shining golden star.

"I see. So this is my new fire…" Alex turned around and noticed an asteroid not far from him. Although it was not far, it was impossible for a normal person to grab it since they needed to travel like from the Earth to Mars.

The asteroid was quite big, around the size of the moon. But he simply raised his hand and waved it, releasing his new fire.

Boom.

Surprisingly, it created an explosion just by touching the asteroid and reduced it to nothing.

"This is seriously even more overpowered than my Godly Pure Fire." Alex looked down for a few seconds and smiled. "Alright. I have decided on the name. From today on, this fire will be called Sun God Fire. I don't know if the Phoenix Goddess can be suppressed by this fire, but I have the confidence to suppress that Roy."

[Congratulations Alex. You've officially surpassed the former Fire God, Phitrus.]

"Thank you." Alex couldn't contain his smile as he felt proud about it.

[Well, you need to think of a way to surpass the Dungeon God and the Spirit God this time.]

"Can you not beat me down after raising me up?" Alex's eyebrows twitched as he let out a long sigh.

[Haha. Isn't that what we have been doing this whole time?]

"We? No, it's you. Anyway, I will go to a planet and practice two techniques before coming home. We don't have any major movement, right?"

[Nope. Everything is under control. We can wait for you to come back first.]

"Do we have a target to hit?"

[I'm not sure myself because there's simply no news about the "weapons". It's not like we can carelessly attack them.]

"Agree." Alex contemplated for a moment and said, "Anyway, I think I know what to do. Instead of aiming for the God Kings, how about we weaken their armies? We can create chaos among their soldiers and hunt them. I have no guarantee that this tactic will make them crazy, but they will feel pressured."

[I will pass it to Anya and Aria. I hope they can come up with something good.]

"Yes. I need to focus on my training."

[Okay. Good luck.]

"Yes, thank you." Alex nodded and changed his focus to the two Divine Techniques.

Because there was no requirement to train these two techniques, especially about places, Alex just chose a planet among the ones nearby. It was cold since the sun was nowhere to be seen and darkness filled the entire planet. Yet, Alex didn't care and recalled all the information about the two techniques.

"I will learn the Star God Divine Control first since I want to test my control over this new fire first before learning about the Divine Petals."

After coming to a decision, Alex released his Sun God Fire and started practicing.

…

Meanwhile, as Alex trained his Divine Fire Arts, Eulja, specifically Lin Xingzhi, had gotten a very big surprise.

When she was doing her work, three people came into the room with a smile.

The first one was a young man in his early twenties. He had short red hair and red eyes. Despite his stern face, his eyes were filled with nostalgic feelings as she looked at Lin Xingzhi with a smile.

The same applied to the woman next to him. She was in her early thirties, gently looking at Lin Xingzhi like a mother.  She patted the second female's head.

Lin Xingzhi widened her eyes and looked at the last one. She was another youth that seemed to be a bit younger than the male. Yet, her expression was a bit maturer than the last time they met.

More importantly, their cultivations were quite high. The male and the older female both had Rank 5 God Cultivation while the younger one was a Rank 9 God.

This truly shocked Lin Xingzhi to the core as the older ones actually parted ways with them to gain strength. And it turned out that this separation became their biggest turning point. Not only had they reached this kind of power level, but they also brought joyous news.

"I'm sorry that we have taken too much time in this journey, Mistress Lin Xingzhi." The male spoke with an embarrassed tone.

"Yes. We're very sorry. However, we have something that will bring joy to Master and everyone else." The older female confirmed his statement.

"We can talk about the news later since Alex is also not here right now. Still…" Lin Xingzhi looked at the younger female and smiled. "To think you would have become a Rank 9 God too."

"This is all thanks to Master. After fixing everything in my territory, I have come to the Upper World. Then my mother and father brought me to many places as we grew stronger together." The younger female nodded with a smile.

"Indeed. The only reason our family can reunite is Master. We can't thank him enough."

"Yes. You were the first, Husband. He allowed us to meet again, and after some twists, everything became like this. I'm so happy."

Lin Xingzhi closed her eyes and smiled upon the memory about them together. "Anyway, I should say this first… I'm glad to see all three of you again, Kyle, Stina, Ellen."
