Chapter 710 - Ancient Ruin

"And inside of this Ancient Ruin, we can find God's Inheritances," Evelyn said with a solemn expression.

"God's inheritances?" Alex narrowed his eyes.

"Yeah. Master said there are a few Gods dead inside that place, and each of them is giving their inheritances to the future generation." Evelyn nodded. "Master also said this. Your master also entered this place."

"!!!" Alex was surprised to hear that his master, Maxwell, had entered this place. There was still another problem. With this world power level, there should be no problem in having someone reach 10-Star Martial Saint, but it would be impossible to have Gods in this world because they would be expelled no matter what. "System, do you know something?"

[Look at your memory about this world, and you will understand the answer.]

Alex didn't understand why she said it, but he admitted he never read the information about this world. He closed his eyes for a second before opening it again wide.

"Big Brother?" Evelyn tilted her head in confusion.

Alex looked down, stroked his chin, and fell into deep thought. 'According to my memory, this place is supposed to be a world with many God Rank Experts like Eulja. However, it was once attacked by another planet and had a huge clash. Most of the Gods died while the rest decided to use their power to control the World's will.

'Their only wish was to seal the world and lower its power level. This way, a battle this big wouldn't occur again. It seemed that the Dwarves, Undeads, and Beastmen only came to this world after this war and didn't know a single thing about this war.

'Meanwhile, to seal the information about this war that might destroy the world and cause another massive destruction in case their descendant would avenge them, they decided to make this type of rule.'

Alex could relate this story to the Ancient Ruin because Evelyn just explained the meaning behind Ancient Ruin. If not, he wouldn't know that this story actually related to it. "I see… This is a good opportunity."

"Yeah." Evelyn nodded with a smile. "If big brother Alex participates, the Fire God Clan might not have the courage to send their experts. In case they participate, you can simply kill them and take their position."

Alex thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "By the way, who is the one that gets two spots?"

"Drunken Pavilion, Divine Kingdom, and Ancient Blue Family."

"I see. Are you going with your senior sister?"

"Yeah. Master wants us to enter to raise our strength and, if possible, change big sister Angela's mindset." Evelyn confirmed.

"Then the Divine Kingdom's representatives would be Prince Julius and Princess Elizabeth while Ancient Blue Family would be Rio and their second miss," Alex muttered to himself.

Evelyn heard it as well and agreed with the lineup.

'But the problem will be how the Freedom Sect doesn't know about this…' Alex furrowed his eyebrows. 'No, that's not important. The fact that my Master knows about this can also be interpreted that the Freedom Sect also knows. However, their condition doesn't allow them to enter this Ancient Ruin. I can only think of it like this.'

"Then, do you know anything about this Ancient Ruin?" Alex asked.

"Master has told me a few things. The first thing is the inheritance from God Rank Expert. And the second one is the time limit." Evelyn paused for a moment. "There is no time limit inside the Ancient Ruin to be honest… Because we are usually bailed out before even reaching the time limit. However, Master said the utmost limit one could stay was around one year."

"Hmm…" Alex furrowed his eyebrows. He never joined an event that would take him more than a few months, so this one certainly intrigued him. "What kind of test is inside there?"

"Ancient Battlefield."

"Ancient Battlefield?" Alex closed his eyes.

"Like how there are inheritances from God Rank Expert, there are also enemies that are trying to kill us. And those enemies will range from 5-Star Martial Monarchs like me to 5-Star Martial Saints. It might become stronger if we have a higher cultivation base or older age. That's why Younger Generations would be the one who explores this Ancient Ruin." Evelyn explained carefully.

"I see. Isn't you the one that has the most potential in getting the inheritance?" Alex smirked. Evelyn was even younger than him with that 5-Star Martial Monarch strength, so he thought she had the most potential.

"Haha, you should also consider battle prowess. If we include everything, big brother will be at the top." Evelyn giggled.

"Anyway, what is the other thing that Elder Manness told you?" Alex asked, changing the topic.

Evelyn tapped her forehead, trying to recall the conversation. "The third one is about monsters. They are very dangerous and deadly. Luckily, we are entering that by using our soul, so we won't actually die in that place. But Master had once encountered an invisible monster. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't beat that beast. In fact, he couldn't see how powerful that beast was."

"!!!" Alex's face was distorted when he recalled a certain type of monster. 'Is it Space Beast? The monsters that are living inside the Space Realm? Wait, if they knew about the beast's existence… What if they actually learned it from this Ancient Battlefield? Did that mean Freedom Sect actually knew about this place? Or did the Ancestors hide that fact?'

Having no other clue, Alex decided to shake the thoughts off until he entered that place himself. "How about the test itself? How can we receive the inheritances from God Rank Expert?"

"We will get thrown inside a Special World called Ancient Battlefield and need to survive there for a period of time. From time to time, we will have a certain event happening. We need to take advantage of it. Master met a God Stage Expert and received his inheritance after surviving for six months. That's why I assume the monsters are many, and they are strong." Evelyn took a deep breath.

"I see."

'I will be staying inside there for as long as I can and receive the inheritances.' Alex nodded before he realized something was wrong. "Is the world linked up with each other? Or does each of us enter a different world?"

"I think we are in the same area. Master wants me to meet up with Senior Sister by using a token after all."

"If that's the case…" Alex looked down and stroked his chin. 'Should I regroup with them? Or should I go and fend for myself alone?'

The most logical thinking would be fighting together, but he would need to restrict his strength, especially his Space Element. On the other hand, fighting together would allow him to preserve his stamina and Spiritual Energy. This was indeed a hard choice.

'I will decide after I go there, I guess…' Alex thought and looked back at Evelyn. "Do you know anything that we can take advantage of?"

"The world will constantly change, so there is no point knowing about it. According to the record, a few people arrived inside a human's settlement from a kingdom to a village. Normally, the kingdom also fends help for those people, but they ultimately collapsed under the horde of monsters. That's why Master said the only one that you could rely on is yourself and those who are close to you."

"I see." Alex nodded and thought, 'Close to me, huh… I wonder whether I can summon Anna and the others there, but seeing it's an illusion world, it means I can't do it. The only thing I can do is to fight against those monsters alone. I just hope that those monsters will give me EXPs and Gacha Tickets like the ones in Heavenly Sword Sect's Battle Tower.'

"Do you want to be together with me? Or are you going with that Song Jiaoren?" She asked.

Alex shook his head. "I have no plan for now, but I will probably go alone."

"Are you sure?" Evelyn furrowed her eyebrows, worried about him.

"Yeah." Alex nodded. 'Hopefully, there is also a chance to use Space Element, so in the worst case, I can escape to the Space World.'

"If that is big brother Alex's choice…" Evelyn looked down and nodded with a sad look.

"Don't worry. I will be alright. I am the one who needs to worry about you." Alex patted her head.

Evelyn pouted. "I think I have told you everything I know."

"Then, I think it's time for me to go. Dawn soon will come anyway, so I should get ready to go to the Blackwade Clan." Alex nodded.

"Fine."

Alex patted her head a few more times and left.

…

As soon as he entered his inn, he summoned Anna with a serious face.

"Should Leoz and I leave your side for the time being?" Anna asked instantly.

"Before that, I want to give the inheritances I got from Elder Ri Xheo to Letizia. Will that be alright?" Alex asked.

"What is your reasoning?" Anna obviously frowned. Although she thought Letizia favorably, it wasn't to the point she would give an inheritance of Ice Great Elder just like that.

"I am thinking about preparing her for the next war. We still have around three years before that Ancestor appears again, so I want her to increase her strength first. I feel that she might become another factor in this war. After all, the moment I ruin the ritual, she might be targeted. I might need to save her. Nonetheless, she would participate in the war. I wanted to give it to Alicia at first, but she already had all the resources she needed." Alex sighed.

"True enough. She is the only Ice Element User you know, and it is Pure Ice Element to boot…" Anna contemplated for a minute and sighed. "Fine. We can give it to her. She won't be able to do anything to us in this world anyway… Meanwhile, we can simply crush her if she decides to betray us outside of this world." Anna nodded and believed in Eulja's strength.

"Yeah. We can also crush their morale and bait the Snow White Mountain." Alex nodded.

"It's your choice. There is also Ancient Ruin, but she won't participate in it. With only Sacrificial Ice Element, the elders from Snow White Mountain must want to win some in this Ancient Ruin, so their Ancestor won't be that disappointed."

"Yeah. We can't do anything to them right now."

"Then, what will I and Leoz do after this?"

Alex pondered for a moment. "As expected, I can only have you go around and raise your level. I don't know whether I can bring you inside the Ancient Ruin, so our only option is to use every opportunity to raise your level."

"I understand."

Anna went back to the card and had someone summon her together with Leoz. He then decided to retire for the day.

…

The next day, Alex said goodbye to Evelyn as he made his way toward the west gate, preparing to meet Song Jiaoren. It was easy to find him since he could simply look around with his Spirit Eyes and approached a Martial Saint followed by another two Saints.

Song Jiaoren waved his hand at him, acting as normal as possible in front of the elders. They decided to have a front of two business partners, so they were acting as equals. The two elders also had no problem seeing this and let this go, despite wondering since when they actually had this type of relationship.

"Have you finished all your business in this city?" Song Jiaoren asked.

"Yeah. We can go to the Blackwade Clan right now." Alex nodded. This journey would take very long, considering Alex would never use a few weeks just to travel. Unfortunately, he couldn't afford to reveal his Space Element for the time being and decided to follow the group.

"Very well." Song Jiaoren nodded and glanced at the two elders as they summoned a flying ship. "This is our Blackwade Clan's Flying Ship. Its speed is twice as fast as 5-Star Martial Saint, so we should be able to arrive at the clan within two weeks. I also have another thing to discuss when we arrive at the clan."

Alex nodded. He realized that the one he wanted to talk about must be the Ancient Ruin.

They then boarded the ship and flew to the horizon.
