BXBX NOVEL Chapter 828 - After Battle
Anya was helping with their strategy, ensuring they would be able to hold on. One day became two days. Two days became two weeks. And before long, one month passed.
If one were asked which influence led them to the victory, Spirit Nest would be their answer. But they were asked who contributed the most? Anya\'s name would appear in the discussion.
Not only did she control their energy consumption, but she also managed their deployment to ensure that everyone didn\'t fight without sufficient energy. Despite fighting continuously for a whole month, they still managed to control their body to kill the monsters.
In the third week, the reinforcement from the surface finally finished eliminating the monsters outside and made their way to the Ancient Battlefield. With the monsters getting pincered from two sides, they soon collapsed, especially with the lack of their leaders.
The battle finally ended after a long forty days. Roars of victory shook the ground on that day to the point it was heard by neighboring towns, hundreds of miles away from the battlefield.
But what made everyone shocked was the fact that Alex and his group disappeared as if they never participated in the battle. Even those Space Element masters couldn\'t track him down, confusing the entire battlefield.
Some told others Alex didn\'t want any reward from the monsters he killed because he was selfless. Some said that he had received the reward from the Gods and Goddesses since he was the closest to them. Some even said that he only made his appearance from start to finish because he knew the continents were facing so many problems that most were not aware. He made his appearance to solve that issue, and with the problems that had been solved, he disappeared again like how his influence had done for the past few thousand years.
Nonetheless, on this particular day, Alex gained another title from the entire world.
A Hero
No one could deny that Alex was the one who saved the world. Without his group, they would be exterminated here and then, leaving them with one choice, hide."
As much as they were confused by Alex\'s action, they still held gratitude in their hearts that they would remember forever. And the news spread to other continents, including the Willow Continent.
One month later.
Inside the Rainbow Flower Sect, Cecilia heard the news as she hummed cheerfully while brewing tea for herself and the elder that used to follow her.
"Sect Master… You sound very happy."
"You have heard the news, right?"
"Yes."
"I could proudly say that Letizia has etched her name into world history… Do you hear me? World history! It is not a sect\'s history, but world history. Every person in this world will surely hear her name and etch it in their hearts."
"But I believe Alexander\'s name will shadow her name."
Cecilia pouted and snorted. "Even so, because of the little number of the Spirit Nest, she will also be remembered. Even those people who ascended in the past couldn\'t achieve this feat because their action couldn\'t influence the whole world."
The elder shook her head with a smile after seeing Cecilia\'s face full of pride. She simply added, "We are going to get busy now."
…
At the same time, Charya also heard the news and drank wine for a whole day. She couldn\'t contain her smile during this time.
"Master… I know that you are happy, but you should take care of yourself. Don\'t drink too much."
"Isn\'t it fine? This is for a special occasion." Charya pouted to her own disciple. "Besides, even though he only taught you for a brief moment as a \'Gift\', I know that you are happy deep inside your heart. Just drink with me tonight."
The girl turned red and fell into silence.
"To think I have sheltered a guy like this, I don\'t know what to say." Charya laughed and kept drinking until she collapsed.
…
When the world rejoiced by this news, Alex was not aware of such a thing before Anya knocked on his door, waking him up from cultivation.
"Alex."
Alex gradually opened his eyes and glanced at Anya with blurry eyes. "What is it?"
"Do you know that you are known as a hero now?" Anya smirked as if she wanted to tease him.
"A hero? Such nostalgic terms." Alex shook his head.
"In the lower world, you were teleported to that place only to receive such treatment and fail to become a hero. Yet, you become a hero in this place where you do nothing but slaughter…"
"Yeah." Alex nodded. "I didn\'t kill these many people in the lower world. Meanwhile, I have killed hundreds of thousands of people in this world. And yet these people call me a hero, that is insane."
"Haha… You know what. Many people began to solve the truth and arrived at a weird conclusion. The Zhou Kingdom and Mount Hua Sect deserved such a finale because they were doing something extreme that involved so many innocent lives.
"Joyful Union Sect was condemned when rumors of them cultivating so many innocent children came to light. The same applied to the Blood Devil Sect. They used human lives like a tool.
"The Fire God Clan had corrupted this world for a long time while the Snow White Mountain planned to conquer the whole world by using the Pure Ice Element to awaken their ancestor.
"These reasons… It was pretty ridiculous, but when they connected it to your achievement, they believed you are the hero of this world. This is hilarious." Anya laughed out loud.
Alex facepalmed, not knowing what to say. "Well, history is written by the victor. We destroyed the Zhou Kingdom and Black Devil Sect because of our promise to Zwaka. We reduced Mount Hua Sect to that point because they attacked us.
"The same applied to the Joyful Union Sect who wanted to enslave us like a tool. As for the Fire God Clan, they had been our enemies for a long time because they wanted my Pure Fire, while Snow White Mountain got dragged into this whole mess because of Letizia.
"If you look at our perspective, all of those are selfish reasons, not a single one of those can be called the deed of a hero." Alex shook his head.
"Haha… It\'s because of your contribution to fighting those monsters. With a single unintentional action, the whole world thought of you as a hero." Anya grinned.
"I simply didn\'t have any interest in their reward, so I chose to return. After all, I needed to deal with them for a few more days, such as a party for our victory and other similar things. I didn\'t have time to do that, so I came back here." Alex shrugged.
"Do you want me to spread the rumor of our real intention?"
"Do you think it will affect people\'s opinion?"
"Nope. They will just condemn the new opinion." Anya laughed.
"Never mind. What do you want to report? I am sure that you don\'t wake me up just because of this, right?"
"Yes. There is another thing that I want to tell you. After calculating the amount of EXP Cards, I believe we have gathered enough EXP Cards for the others to level up to God Stage. However, I believe there will be a change in the system… You might want to ask her yourself about the details."
"I understand. Recall everyone back. I am a bit disappointed because I didn\'t get any reward for saving the world this time." Alex sighed.
"Fufu… Don\'t be like that. I believe you will get a reward when you reach God Stage. In any case, you should be worrying about your Divine Tribulation instead."
"Yeah. I am preparing myself. How about Rose and Letizia?"
"Letizia is going to break through soon while Rose is doing a mission outside. I am in charge of training them."
"I will leave them to you then." Alex nodded and asked. "Do you have anything more for me?"
"No. I believe that\'s all I wanted to say."
When Anya was about to turn around to leave the room, Alex stopped her. "Wait a minute. Come here first."
"Hmm?" Anya halted her step and tilted her head in confusion.
"I want to test something." Alex waved his right hand to call her and repeatedly tapped the bad together with his left hand, telling her to sit next to him.
Anya didn\'t know his intention but still walked forward and sat beside him.
Alex gently grabbed her right hand and placed his other hand to gently pull her face against him. He then made their foreheads touch each other.
Anya was baffled, thinking Alex must want to do it. But suddenly, she felt a fluctuation of energy in his body that slowly seeped inside her mind.
"Don\'t fight this energy. They are carrying my Space Element."
The moment Alex said \'Space Element\', she realized what Alex wanted to do. She immediately lowered her guard and let Alex do whatever he wanted.
He channeled his energy through her hand, going toward her heart. The energy formed a gate that slowly sucked her power and her soul inside. Her cultivation started going down at a rapid rate.
Martial Monarch…
Martial Emperor…
Martial Lord…
Martial Master…
Foundation Stage…
Alex gradually opened his eyes when he managed to do it. "You can open your eyes now."
Anya followed his instruction before checking her body. "This…"
"Yeah. I have sealed your strength to Foundation Stage." Alex nodded. "There are two parts to this process. First, I need to synchronize my element with your brain, telling your brain to accept the flow of my energy inside you.
"The second one is the actual sealing Space Element that allows me to seal your strength like how I seal my strength." Alex smiled.
"That\'s good!" Anya was thrilled.
"Yeah. Although it\'s hard to control, I believe I can use the time I have left to master this technique. As soon as I become a God Rank Expert, I will go to Eulja and bring Alicia to meet our family." Alex nodded.
"Well, I won\'t be accompanying you… Sherry can, but I won\'t."
"Why? I would like to properly introduce you to everyone. I want them to know you, Anna, and Lin Xingzhi."
Anya shook her head. "I am good. I am sure Anna and sister Xingzhi have the same opinion as me, so please don\'t persuade us. Unless it\'s your parents, I won\'t meet them. And the one that could be considered as your father figure has passed away and must have reincarnated somewhere, so it\'s better to not dwell like someone who kneels a few times in front of someone\'s grave. Rather than that, it\'s better to grab the reincarnation and kneel in front of the real \'father\'."
Alex looked at her serious expression and knew he couldn\'t persuade her. "Alright. I will respect your opinion. And I will bring Stina and Kyle to their world to meet their daughter. After that, we can finally be free from the restraints for a long time."
"Yes. At that time, we shall have a few years long honeymoon." She grinned.
"Haha… Sure." Alex nodded.
"That\'s right. I have one more question before I go back." Anya\'s expression turned solemn as this thought had been lingering in her mind for a few days.
"What is it?"
"Will you go back to Earth when you have a chance?"
Alex widened his eyes, never expecting such a question. He thought for a moment and answered honestly. "I don\'t have a plan currently. There might be a time I might visit my hometown, but I believe the time is not near. Besides, I don\'t have any more attachment to that world, so… unless there is an important occasion, I won\'t go there."
