"Why five thousand years?"
When he heard the question, he only smiled and answered. "That's when the galaxy can start getting their strength back. Normally, I can say that I am just following the direction, but do you know about the time principle?"
"Hmm?" Alex squinted his eyes as his expression turned serious. This was the only thing that still remained a mystery in the galaxy, so he obviously wanted to know that.
"Time is just like branches. There are multiple possibilities that can happen at one moment. For example, in the current situation, we have taken the middle path from five branches of the future.
"We will continue moving forward until the junction appears. It will create another five possible futures, and we need to choose again. And the situation will repeat again and again.
"So, father-in-law wanted me to choose the timeline myself, and I chose this one because the galaxy would give birth to many more God Kings. How many God Kings are there right now?" Alexander asked.
"More than ten."
"That's it. And what kind of thing can influence the future? There are many things. For example, if you make another enemy that wants to kill you, disasters, increasing your own cultivations and so on. There might be those that benefit you and change your future for the better, but those negative things also remain.
"In other words, even if I chose this timing, I would have no way of predicting what would happen. That was why I decided to increase all your repertoire during your journey, such as the former Fire God, my mentor, Phitrus. There is also a Golden Lightning Tribulation and Gacha System with Lin Xingzhi behind it.
"You can say that these are my allies. As for my enemies and other neutral parties, I won't involve them because I can't trust them. You should have realized that it is hard for you to trust someone, right? But the moment you trust them, you will trust them with your life." The previous Alex smiled as if he just nailed it.
It was true that they were allies. His Godly Pure Fire obviously came from his mentor, the Lightning Tribulation came from himself, and the Gacha System came from the Dungeon God. As for Lin Xingzhi, she should be representing the Time God. And the fact that he could do something like this purely because of the Time God.
"I calculated everything and chose the one with the biggest probability. As for whether you could kill the beast or not… I am not sure myself. I only hope so." Alexander shrugged.
"I will do my best." Alex nodded.
"Well, this was not my first choice though. At first, I wanted to make it earlier and searched for a way, so the Earth wouldn't help the beast, but it was futile. The weapons had become too strong, and we should kill those who wield them as soon as possible.
"We managed to destroy the weapon and made sure that nothing would be able to resurrect the weapon, but I am worried about another potential enemy.
"They might have no weapons, but the beast's power knew no bounds, so I am afraid that he might get another pawn. There won't be any weapon or artifact, but their strength should be strong. If that happened, they would surely appear the moment the beast destroyed the seal. And that time wouldn't be too long."
Alex thought for a moment and asked. "In that case, I can utilize the power of this Gacha System to power up the spirits. If we have another ten God Kings, we should be able to win."
"I thought that as well, but the Dungeon God once said to me that the enormous cost was not something anyone could bear. Father-in-law asked him if it was possible to increase their strength with Spirit Crystals, but he told us that even if all the worlds participated in the war concentrated their resources on him, it was impossible."
"That is…" Alex paused and opened his system. "Rank 10 God to Rank 9 God needs a million EXPs or a million Spirit Crystals… The increase of each level should not be linear like the previous ones, so how much do we need to create a Rank 1 God?"
"A few hundred billion. And just for one."
"…" Alex widened his eyes. Although he asked it, he believed that Eulja's Spirit Crystals were around a hundred billion. And they were considered as one of the richest. "This…"
"That's why it is not possible for a long time."
"I can understand…" Alex nodded in agreement. "It seems I need to try the Spirit Crystals mining with the Gacha System."
"Sure. It's a good system that gives a win-win situation for both parties."
"Alright. I will try." Alex contemplated and found another question. "Do you have any advice for me?"
"I have interfered enough in your life, so I should disappear soon since I have finished my mission. But if you need one, then my suggestion is to not use the Spirit Crystals so soon to level up your or other spirits' strength."
"Why?" Alex tilted his head in confusion.
"Do you know about the half cultivating method?"
Alex furrowed his eyebrows as it was the first time he heard it.
"It is a method that allows you to consolidate your foundation every five stars."
"Ah!" He instantly recognized it. Lin Xingzhi never gave him a name for that, so he thought it was just common knowledge. It seemed the method also had a name.
"Since you already know about it, then it is easy. There is one flaw with this method."
"That is…" Alex fell silent, waiting for him to explain.
"It can't be used for God Rank Expert. For example, you can't just consolidate everything at the Rank 6 God stage and be done with it. Instead, you need to properly condense your Divine Energy in each stage. And if you overuse Spirit Crystals, your future will be limited. And only with this technique you can bypass that restriction."
"The leveling system in the Gacha System has a similar thing. If you overuse the Spirit Crystals, the EXPs needed for the next level will increase and so on. The amount of Spirit Crystals you need to level them up will become more and more ridiculous.
"It will be better if you use Divine Herbs instead of Spirit Crystals, and don't forget about consolidating in each stage. This will surely give the lowest possible EXPs for next levels while maintaining the cultivation speed."
"I see. In that case, it will take a bit more time for me to cultivate." Alex let out a long sigh as he knew the future would become more troublesome.
He suddenly rose from his seat and walked to a corner of the room, and stayed there for a few seconds. "Because of that, I want to show you something."
The floor below his feet suddenly shone as he disappeared.
Alex realized there was a small teleportation array there, and when he inspected it, he saw energy leaking from underground. It was at this time he knew that there was something below this place, and it had been sealed so perfectly to the point his Spirit Eyes couldn't see it.
In fact, it might be the previous him who sealed him, considering he knew how the Spirit Eyes actually worked.
Hesitating for a few seconds, Alex finally stepped on the same floor and got teleported underground.
He immediately checked his surroundings, only to find himself surrounded by a wall. At the same time, the previous him had been staring at him this whole time.
"Took you longer than I expected… It seems the future me is more cautious than I think." He smiled.
Alex didn't answer him. Instead, he looked around and saw through the white brick, finding a giant array underneath and above his head.
"It is a safety measure. Come in."
Alex nodded and followed him through the corridor. At the end of the hallway, he found a thick metal door and somehow opened itself when the previous him stepped not far from it as if there was a sensor around there.
He ignored it for the time being as he entered the room. The room definitely stunned him as Alex was gasping in amazement.
"This…"
"This is where I store everything."
Inside the room were five giant doors. Although there was nothing special on these doors, one would be able to find a huge amount of energy sealed inside these doors as Spiritual Energy leaked out of the door.
"The first door is where I cultivate my herbs. In other words, it is my garden. You can find many things inside, from Rank 1 medicinal herbs to Rank 9 divine herbs. You can take everything and hand it to Lin Xingzhi, so she could take care of them in Eulja. And you can even give some of them to the spirits to increase their strength… Well, it is your choice.
"On the second door, I store every single of my weapons and pills. You can say it is my treasury. There are many weapons you can get up to Divine Weapon, but I suggest to not take them because none of them is custom made for you.
"Instead, I suggest you take their own materials to incorporate them into your own custom-made weapons to create a weapon stronger than anyone else.
"The third door is where I keep all my Spirit Crystals. As you might already know, I had destroyed many worlds. Their Spirit Crystals, Spirit Gem, and Spirit Stones were for me to keep. In total, there are around seventy billion Spirit Crystals inside."
*Cough Cough!* Alex dropped his jaw as if he just heard something unbelievable. "Can you say it again?"
"It is not a big deal. Eulja has more than this." The previous Alex simply shrugged as if it was nothing special. "Besides, the Dungeon God was the richest ever lived. If you have any trouble financially, there is a map inside this place leading to the treasury of that old man. So, you can raid that place in the future… Let's see… You might need rank 5 strength if not rank 4 to complete the test.
"As for the fourth door, this is a special room made by father-in-law himself. Since the others had contributed earlier, he gave me this room. It was a special altering time room, and he even needed to break taboo to make this room.
"It allows you to slow down the time in a specific area, in this case, the room, so you can cultivate faster than anyone else. Ten years here is equal to one year outside. And I probably need to explain it again because I feel that my explanation earlier is somewhat lacking as if I am underestimating the power of time.
"There are a few types of Time Ability. One, they can temper their own times. You can say that this person can accelerate and decelerate as they will. It is a pain in the ass, but it is a pretty useful ability. The second type is altering other's time. The effect is the same as the previous one, but it's affecting other people.
"The third time will be altering the world's time, and it will continue to upgrade to the galaxy's time or even a bigger one. And you will realize how hard it is to change the time. Just imagine whether you have the strength to alter this galaxy for even one second… It will take a ridiculous amount.
"Father-in-law broke a taboo and created this room. And he was weakened due to that and fell in battle against those from Earth. The last thing he asked me to do was to care about his daughter and protect her. So yeah, that lies on your shoulder now.
"Anyway, I am sure you can get at least a star inside this place… Just don't bring others here because the time will return to normal again. And finally… The last door." Alexander walked toward the fifth door as if it was something special.
Alex gulped down and stared at him intensely.
On the other hand, the previous him had this serious expression as if this was something very big. But what he said next shocked him.
"This room has my collections of thousands of porn magazines, videos, pictures, and so on…"
"…"
"Just kidding…"
