Gacha Sovereign

Five minutes later.

Inside a small house hanging on the tree, Alex looked at Choong Duy with a serious expression. In front of him was a cup of green tea that Chavel had cultivated underneath the tree.

"This is a tea that Chavel cultivated and brewed. There is no poison in it, so you can rest assured." Choong Duy stretched his hand before sipping his own tea.

Alex knew that there wasn't a single poison inside with his Spirit Eyes. He took a glance at Chavel, who was busy preparing a meal and finally sipped his tea.

Not long after, Chavel brought them a full course meal of vegetables and meat.

Alex could understand the vegetables, but he couldn't see where the meat came from. It was a standard meal but seemed to have been polished to the perfect degrees. Maybe he should say as expected from a woman who was living for a few thousand years.

[For your information, I can also cook a meal at this level.]

"…" Alex twitched his eyebrows and asked inwardly. 'Why are you comparing yourself with her? Don't tell me you are jealous? Please, I don't like the NTR tag.'

[You are too serious right now, so I just want you to relax a bit. This woman must come from Stina's world, so I think you should mention something about that world.]

'I know. That's my plan.'

[Then, I will leave you alone again.]

Alex took a deep breath before looking at Choong Duy with confusion before his wife explained it. "I picked this vegetable this morning while the meat comes from a rank 8 monster that we caught a few days ago."

Choong Duy smiled and added praise to his wife. "Everything is amazing, especially the taste."

Without waiting for Alex, Choong Duy already started eating with a face full of smiles. He didn't care if Alex wouldn't eat it because it would mean he had another portion to eat.

Chavel also didn't care about his manner and simply smiled, watching him eating her cooking.

"Eat first. After that, we can talk." Choong Duy shrugged and pointed his finger at Alex.

Alex sighed and started eating. He wasn't a gourmet himself, but it was indeed one of the delicacies in the world. He didn't eat that much since becoming a cultivator unless he planned to enjoy his time and relax his mind. Most of the time, it was only tea or a wine, not a meal like this.

He elegantly ate the whole meal.

A few minutes later, Chavel brought the dishes to the sink and washed them, leaving Choong Duy and Alex facing each other.

"Since you are not my Ancient Blue Family member, let's go with this scenario. You can ask me one question, and I will ask you one question. None of us can lie, but we can also choose not to comment if it's too private. Of course, we can't disclose what we talk about outside this place. How about it?"

Alex had no problem with this and agreed. The two then made a Heavenly Oath to ensure the other party they told the truth.

"You first."

Alex nodded and uttered a must-ask question. "Who are you and your wife?"

"I am Choong Duy, the founder of the Ancient Blue Family. Duy in my name means blue, so you can see why I chose such a name… As for my wife, I think you are familiar with her world. As you know, there is a secret passage that leads to that world.

"I never know about such a passage if my wife doesn't tell me. She originally came from that place and went to this world through that passage. It was already a long time ago… Well, she lost her right to succeed the throne, so she came to this world to try herself.

"In the end, she became a God Rank Expert as well as my wife. I never regretted having a wife such as her. In fact, I am blessed until now."

'As expected… That's why she could sense the Dragon Strengthening Technique. Although that technique has been polished further by the Supreme, it still couldn't leave its root.' Alex nodded and let Choong Duy ask him a question.

"I have the same question as yours."

"I am Alexander Sirius…" Alex paused for a moment, stopping himself from saying anything related to his previous self. Instead, he would tell a little story he had in Chavel's world and this world. "I have been traveling through worlds around… Well, most of them due to lucky encounters.

"And yes, I have come to her world once and end up having two phoenixes from there. Not that I can't show you though since they are not with me. That world has six races and a limit up to 7-Star Martial Emperor. With this information, I am sure you can believe me. I currently have an enemy that I need to defeat, so I come to the Ancient Blue Family to stop them from interfering… After all, we also have small friction before."

"!!!" Choong Duy's expression turned serious. He pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Why are you here?"

"As you already know, I am just someone who wants to see my family prosper. Of course, I am also guarding that technique. Although we have died for so long, the existence of this realm is maintaining our soul and… You know how boring this place is when you live for a few thousand years inside, so we start gardening and such. Even my wife has practiced her cooking from a poison that could kill millions to one that can please billions," Choong Duy said with a smug expression. "You can say this is our retirement life. Until we have found a guy that can take our technique away, we will enjoy our time here."

"…" Alex couldn't say anything about poison cooking as he recalled when Alicia and Firia gave him the exact thing.

"My turn again." Choong Duy glanced at his wife as if asking her what she wanted to ask. However, the latter simply winked her eyes cutely before saying. "Don't worry about me. I will join you later. You can ask him whatever you want first."

He nodded and asked Alex. "What are you going to do with our technique? Will you really give it to my family?"

"Yes. I am a man of my word. I have promised them to get it from you, so I will give it to them if I get it." Alex said with a solemn expression. "Now my question is, how can you stay alive for so long? I know that you are a Divine Array Master, but your element and the function of the array doesn't match up."

"We got help from Shakdi… I mean, this world Space God. He made us this Special Realm along with the basic function. As for this tree… We have grown it up for several thousand years. With some care and a few rank 8 items, we somehow mutated this tree and evolved it to rank 8 tree."

"Oh." Alex nodded in understanding as he thought, 'Now everything has linked up. His wife came from Stina's world. With the timeline and such, I could see she was born far before the Supreme. At that time, the portal must still be hidden from the world's attention.

'In fact, there might be a few more people coming from that world, but stay hidden in this world. And the reason why the people in this world could know the portal's existence… Someone must have blurted it out. Maybe after a series of torture.'

"What will be your stance against the Ancient Blue Family now?"

Alex frowned and answered with his principle. "I will only kill my enemy."

Choong Duy closed his eyes and nodded. "It seems I need to send some letters to the current patriarch. Anyway, let's continue. Your turn."

"I don't think I have another question in my mind. As long as I know that you are not dangerous to me, everything should be alright." Alex shrugged.

"I should have expected you to have this kind of personality." He scratched his head and said, "Let's get down to the business then."

"Sure."

"Since there should have been 14 generations after me… I think it's enough time to do this. You know that technique is required to have weak beast blood, right?"

"Yes. Though I can also interpret it as powerful human blood." Alex said mysteriously as if he was drawing another concept in his mind. He wanted to check whether this technique was useful to him or not. After all, it would be too sad if his child with Sherry needed several generations before they could use this technique.

"You may also interpret it that way. I want you to help them stimulate their blood and achieve fusion. To do this, you require a rank 9 array, which I will give you later."

"Are you kidding me?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows. "You need Divine Energy to activate the array. And from what I understand, I might need to control the array until they have finished refining their body."

"I can seal a portion of my strength, so I can activate the array. As for the latter part, I would require your assistance. I will give you instructions on how to control the array." Choong Duy nodded before thinking about his reward. "I can give you the token as payment."

Alex tilted his head in confusion.

"You should be able to see it. This token can absorb the Spiritual Energy around, and the mist outside this place is the condensed Spiritual Energy. In other words, you can gather all the mist to increase your cultivation. In fact, this is how all patriarchs can increase their strength to solidify their standings.

"Since you are an outsider, I can't give it to you unless you agree to my request. Of course, we need you to defeat one of us here if you want the technique. Although I don't know how much it will give you, all those people should be able to reach 4-Star Martial Saint.

"I think you should have no problem reaching 3-Star Martial Saint, considering you have a bigger requirement to advance. How about it?"

Alex didn't answer him immediately and thought. 'It's tempting indeed. From what I can see, I should be able to reach 3-Star Martial Saint within a month with the help of the token. And I should be able to reach 4-Star Martial Saint within another year. I think this is enough to face the Snow White Mountain…

'The only problem is their ancestor soul. I believe it will be formidable enough to stop us from destroying the ritual. The only thing that can fight her is my strength and my Spirit Crown.

'From the information stored in my head, I can enhance my Spirit Techniques. This can also be applied to my spirits. First, I can enhance them and their technique… Albeit, I can only do it for one person. There are several more uses… But it's only applicable to low-rank spirits. In other words, it can only be used when I am in Eulja.

'As for my own techniques, I can amplify my own Spirit Step. Since I haven't reached God Stage yet, I can only amplify the technique to a peak Heaven Tier Technique. Only after I break past the mortal stage can I finally make that technique to reach Divine Technique. Well, That's the only technique I have…

'Though I can also borrow a single element from my spirit. It seems Anya's technique has been enhanced by this Spirit Crown to get that attribute. Unfortunately, the borrowing power won't be as powerful as Anya's.

'At most, I can borrow an element for a day, and I won't be able to use it again for a month. At the same time, I will also understand a portion of their understanding of the technique itself…

'In fact, it's the reason why the previous me was able to use all elements despite having none himself. He developed this ability to stand on top of Eulja and changed the way of their thinking.

'Yeah. I think this Spirit Crown will be useful for me in the upcoming battle. 4-Star Martial Saint and the Spirit Crown Technique… This should be enough.'

Having come to a decision, Alex nodded his head. "I agree!"
