Ajax didn't speak much with the three elemental spirits and asked them to go on their journey because the portal would close in less than ten minutes.
Even though he was confident in retrieving the world in less than two minutes, it would not be safe for his elemental spirits to stay in the world after he removed the world core.
Around five minutes after he retrieved the world core from any world, it would explode and all the beings in the world would be blasted too along with the world, which Ajax didn't want to happen to his elemental spirits.
'By the time I retrieve the world core, they would be halfway into outer space and they would have enough time to leave the outer layer of this world before this world gets destroyed.'
Ajax looked at the three elemental spirits who were riding on a green leaf aand thought to himself as he waited for them to go far enough into the sky.
'It's time to enter the core realm and retrieve the world core.'
After two minutes or so, Ajax didn't see his elemental spirits anymore; however, that doesn't mean they exited this world yet.
Nevertheless, Ajax knew his elemental spirits would be in outer space by the time the world explodes. So, he entered the core realm of the world with a thought in his mind.
'Swoosh'
In the next second, Ajax's consciousness appeared in the core realm that looked very familiar to him.
'Looks like all the bronze demon worlds have the same core realm.'
After Ajax started his world conquering conquest, he destroyed more than a dozen worlds and among them, half of them were bronze demon worlds. So, he felt familiar with the current core realm.
'Anyway, let's take the world core and leave this world.'
With a little head shake, Ajax flew towards the world core hovering in the mid air and started the retrieving process.
'Ding,
The host has successfully retrieved the world core. Please leave the world in five minutes if you don't want to explode with the world.
As usual, Ajax received a system notification in his head as his spirit consciousness came out of the core realm and entered back into his physical body.
'I hope they left the world.'
Even though he was confident in his calculation, Ajax was concerned about it and tried to contact the elemental spirits.
'No communications?'
Ajax was excited when he was unable to contact his elemental spirits because it meant that they had successfully left the world.
If they were still in the same world, then Ajax could have established a connection with them. So, he heaved a sigh of relief before going back into the portal.
'Swoosh'
As soon as he returned, the portal closed even before the 10 minutes were finished.
'Tme to enter another world.'
Ajax didn't waste any time as he wanted to enter the other worlds conquered by the other exploration teams to retrieve more world cores.
'System, open the portal.'
Next, Ajax ordered the system to open the portals to the worlds conquered by his other summons.
He went in, spoke a few lines with the exploration team before entering the core realm to pick the world core and would come back within 10 minutes.
Overall, it took less than 30 minutes for Ajax to recover the three more smaller world cores.
'System, show me all the world cores I have in my possession.'
After retrieving all the smaller world cores, he asked the system to show his inventory about the world cores.
'Ding,
Normal world cores:- 1
Smaller world cores:- 5
Soon, the system showed the number of world cores he had in his possession, making Ajax reveal a slight smile on his face.
'Even though I feel like I have a good numbere of worlds all of a sudden, they are not enough for me to increase my cultivation much.'
Ajax knew it was smiling for no reason when he still needed another five smaller world cores to fuse them into a normal world core which would increase his cultivation by a single minor realm.
'Wait a second.'
All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something that made him a little bit excited because he remembered something.
'It's been a month already, right? The devourer eagle kings can finally open the portals to the other worlds. Moreover, the king of the devourer eagle kings can already open a portal in just 15 days.'
The thing he remembered was the time for the devourer eagle kings to open the portals to the other worlds.
'This room is only big enough for me to summon a single devourer eagle king. So, I have to do it one after another.'
Even though each room in the resting quarters was quite big, it was still not enough for Ajax to summon at least two devourer eagle kings, not to mention whole devourer eagle kings.
So, he decided to make them open the portals to the smaller worlds around the purple stone world.
'Alder, don't screech when I summon you and also, fold yourself as much as possible before using your skill in searching the surrounding worlds around the purple stone world.'
Ajax was careful as he gave all the orders to the king of the devourer eagle kings to keep a few things in his head.
'Now, come out.'
First, he summoned Prophis because Alder, his first devourer eagle king was also inside Prophis space realm along with the other devourer eagle king who had nott formed contract with Ajax,
'Yes, master.'
The usually proud devourer eagle king came out of Prophis' space realm and spoke through the voice transmission.
The reason why Ajax was taking such precautions was there were many king realm cultivators in the colosseum that was around 100 kilometers away from the resting quarters.
'Good. Now, check the world around the purple stone world.'
Before opening a portal to the other worlds, Ajax wanted to know what worlds are actually situated around the purple stone world.
