A green scenery immediately filled his vision the moment he opened that door. From trees to grasses were planted carefully inside this place.

The room itself was larger than he expected to the point he believed he could make a small city with this garden alone. All different types of herbs were here, starting from Rank 1 to Rank 9.

This was something surprising to Alex because this was the first time he saw a garden this big. Even the one he saw in Zwaka's palace was not this big.

He found a note on the floor, and he realized it was everything about the herbs in this place, including how to harvest all these herbs. He even found the two other ingredients he needed for White Ash Pill.

Due to the size of this garden, it took him three days to carefully store them away.

After that, he checked his Inventory again to check everything before leaving the garden.

"This will surely boost everyone's strength." Alex nodded and looked at the second and third groups. "Because he is no more, I can easily open the door for each gate, but I am not someone who can easily break promises, especially to myself. It might be foolish because I can get stronger faster, it is a matter of principle."

Alex shook his head and bowed his head to the five doors as if he was thanking them… No, the one who built them.

He then returned to the surface with the teleportation array and wiped the table and chairs clean. He smiled and left the tower.

Before jumping out of this world, he took another look at the temple and said, "Goodbye and thank you."

Alex teleported to outer space before he found himself in a dilemma.

To the north, he would be able to find Earth and return for a few days or a month. But to his surprise, he had no expectation or desire to go there. Instead, he only wished to return to Eulja as soon as possible.

He ended up shaking his head before using the sense in his head to search for a black hole.

Experiencing all the things he saw in the black hole, he finally returned to the original galaxy.

And the first thing that greeted him was the notification from the system.

[I can finally reach you.]

"Ah, yes. I am sorry. It's been a year since I first went to the black hole." Alex scratched the back of his head.

[Yes. I don't know why, but you feel different.]

"Ahaha… Don't ask." Alex let out a hollow laugh as if he wanted to hide the fact that he used ten years to cultivate in that place. Although the room affected the time, he still aged for another year during the time inside that room.

Lin Xingzhi must feel the difference because Alex had undergone numerous changes during that time, including when he received the memory of the last fight.

Because of Alex's warning, Lin Xingzhi also refrained herself about the gap in his memory, it must be because of the encore, so she planned to trust Alex and stopped digging the information unless Alex explained the whole situation himself.

"Anyway, I think it is time to go to that world, so I can refine my bones."

[Indeed. Please return to Eulja first, so we can go there together.]

"Sure. I want you to tell me about what happened during this whole time, alright?"

"Alright."

Alex then immediately used his Teleportation Array to send him to Eulja. Unlike the previous time where he used the teleportation formation in Eulja, he needed a longer time to reach Eulja.

"Finally, I have returned." Alex smiled as he watched the Eulja from outer space. As soon as he entered the planet, he was greeted by Lin Xingzhi, who had been expecting him to reach sooner or later.

This time, she wore a long white dress tied with a black ribbon on her waist.

"How are the others?"

She nodded and stretched her hand. "We will talk on the way."

Alex nodded.

A year ago, not long after Alex went to Encore, the Blackwade Clan was surprised by the appearance of a God King, the Palm God.

Luckily, Song Tao had received information from Lin Xingzhi about their appearance, allowing him to handle the situation the way he wanted to.

When he arrived, Song Tao immediately asked this father and daughter duo to come to his office to talk.

The atmosphere turned tense when Song Tao and the Palm God, Kubard.

"So… Do you have that much free time to come here?" He narrowed his eyes. "There will be many implications if you are staying for too long on this planet. As you know, my clan is just a merchant, so we take a neutral stance."

"Hoh? Did you say that after considering your relationship with Eulja?"

The two glared at each other.

The self-proclaimed rival had been following the information about Eulja and Blackwade Clan, so he obviously knew more than one would expect. This was normal though, considering he had been chasing Alex for a long time.

"I also have known about the fact that the two of you have been contacting each other. Haha… I have sent most of my spies here after all. Don't try to trick me, you old fox."

"As expected from the famous stalker." Song Tao snorted. This was not the first time he visited him, so he also knew about his suspicion about Eulja.

"Say, how much do I need to buy the information about my rival, Alexander Sirius's reincarnation?"

"I don't sell that information because I don't have one."

"Don't joke around. I have visited Eulja earlier and found out that Lin Xingzhi has gone somewhere far away."

Song Tao narrowed his eyes. This was exactly their plan. However, he decided to make it look like he didn't want to give the information so as to make it more believable.

"I have said this, and I will say it again and again. I don't have any information regarding that."

"Song Tao…" Kubard narrowed his eyes. "I don't like fooling around. If you are wasting your time on this, I won't move later. Let's say, how about I am staying here for a whole year? I will surely create a huge mess for you."

Song Tao rose from his seat, looking very angry. "Stop getting fixated on a dead man. The Spirit God you know is no longer here!"

Kubard snorted before pointing his finger toward his daughter. "Look at this daughter of mine. She can be considered a peerless genius considering how strong she is despite her young age. He won't be losing anything by marrying my daughter. In fact, he will also get my support."

"Do you think a person like him needs your support? He will be stronger than anyone else right now. From the record, even though the new God Kings have been born during the past few thousand years, they were nowhere near the previous generation of God Kings.

"If you take a look at the record about the Fire God, Dungeon God, Sword God, or even Time God, you will know it is true. And if you compare yourself with the Spirit God, you are just like a newborn chick." Song Tao snorted.

"Nonetheless, we are still at the same level. We will get stronger and stronger." Kubard shrugged.

"Even Lin Xingzhi doesn't dare to claim she will become as strong as her father, and you say you will?"

"I don't say that, but I will keep getting stronger no matter what it takes. And with the addition of my strength, Lin Xingzhi should be able to protect the current Alexander. My daughter also has the potential to reach God King. If you think about it that way, won't it be worth it to marry my daughter?"

"You should know about the Spirit God's vision regarding this matter, right?"

"Of course, but that is when he was strong. Now he is weak, and I am shameless enough to take that opportunity. First come first served." Kubard shrugged.

"You—!"

"And my daughter loves him you know. She has been idolizing him since young." Kubard looked proud, even though he was the one who influenced her. "Just tell me, and I will immediately leave this place. I can promise you something too."

When he thought about this, he realized he could take advantage of this promise to help Alex. Since Kubard already knew that Alex had reincarnated, there was no point in hiding it anymore.

He smiled inwardly as if he thought something brilliant. "Fine. You give me these two stones, and I shall tell you what I know."

Kubard narrowed his eyes and looked at the drawings he presented. "I have one of them, and I think I can buy the other one. I see… This must be for him!"

"You can think however you want, but since you have promised to leave, you are not allowed to stay here and all planets in my surroundings after learning about this information."

"Fine!"

"And don't tell Lady Lin Xingzhi about this. Else, I will be in trouble."

"She will know, but I will surely tell that she won't bother you."

Song Tao closed his eyes and thought for a moment before he told him about all the things Lin Xingzhi wanted him to tell Kubard.

Not only would he chase these two away, but he could also get the materials needed for Alex's weapons.

He dared to do this because Kubard was not one of the people who would spread the information about Alex, so he was safe to blurt this information.

When he learned about Alex, he immediately rose from his seat and took his daughter away. "I will send the stones to you in a month."

He then left, but it didn't stop there.

His daughter noticed this as well and asked, "Father… He was lying."

"I know." He nodded. "However, if you know Song Tao a bit more, you will realize that not all of them were lies. He has his own conscience regarding this matter. From what I know, he has at least a Space Element. And he will surely take that chance to learn Array.

"I see… He is trying to get a new path to get stronger. And the fact that he is out is probably true. So, we will try to camp out near that area and send the spies in all directions."

"I understand. I will contact Mother for this."

"Uhm!" He nodded and took her away, boarding the spaceship.

"That's how the situation was resolved." Lin Xingzhi finally finished explaining everything.

"I see." Alex nodded. "How about the others?"

"During this—"

Before she could explain, two streams of light came out of his body at the same time.

It turned out to be red light balls as both formed a human figure.

"Master. We apologize for taking this long." Both of them kneeled before him.

Alex was baffled to see the first thing they did was kneeling in front of him. He helped them up and shook his head. "I am glad that you have finished your evolution. But judging from your aura, it seems you have gotten something special, right?"

"Yes. There are two reasons for this. The first is due to Master's power-up. If I am not wrong, it is called Fire Authority or something?" Stina nodded.

"Yep, you're right."

"The Fire Authority influenced us and raised our strength altogether. Albeit, the process was a bit slow. And the other reason was due to Kyle's memory. Maybe it was a miracle, but my and Kyle's memories were shared during this period of time."

"So… Are you still Kyle?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows and asked Kyle. He was afraid he wanted to assume his previous identity.

"Just like Master has chosen to live as a new Alexander Sirius, I have decided to live as Kyle. So, please call me Kyle, Master." Kyle nodded. He looked very different… personality-wise. Although he tried to get accustomed to it, it was still a long way to go.

Nevertheless, Alex was happy to see their well-being, considering he had spent ten years in Encore and found no clue when they were going to wake up.

"Anyway, let's go inside first, and we can talk about our future plan, including your visit to your daughter."

"Yes."
