Gacha Sovereign
chapter-717

Alex closed his eyes and deactivated his Spirit Eyes. He had seen enough and decided to go back by traveling through the Space Realm.

He didn't say anything and cultivated inside his courtyard. He even canceled his plan about strolling around the area, considering there was nothing to see in the city.

A few days later,

Song Jiaoren returned to the room and greeted Alex. "Sir Alexander, I apologize for making you wait for a few days."

Alex waved his hand with a smile before he sensed another presence and activated his Spirit Eyes. There was another energy standing outside his room as if it was waiting for something. The energy was coming with Song Jiaoren, so he must know. The question he wanted to ask was why this person was waiting outside of his room.

"Sir Alexander, we have counted everything, and we will buy them for 2.5 million Spirit Crystals." Song Jiaoren didn't realize his confusion and continued with the topic, taking out the Space Ring and handing it to Alex.

Alex nodded and grabbed the Space Ring with a smile. "Thank you."

"No, no. This is my job." Song Jiaoren smiled and waved his hand. "We have also eliminated the First Elder and the Third Elder because they are planning to kill you. On behalf of my family, I deeply apologize."

"It's fine. I know that you also have stopped them for a few years." Alex glanced at the door and asked. "I want to ask something. I wonder who is the person you bring today?"

"Ah!" Song Jiaoren glanced at the door and scratched his head, embarrassed. "It's not like I am hiding it for you. I have said that I won't participate in the Ancient Ruin since my sister will be the one who goes, right? That's why I am bringing her here first and introducing her to you, so there won't be any misunderstanding."

Alex finally remembered. A few days ago, he saw Song Jiaoren was approached by a person, and now that he looked at the energy, it was indeed the same person. "I see. Well, I certainly don't have the mood to deal with the misunderstanding, especially for those who think brawl first before talking."

"Haha… I am the same. Hence, I would like to introduce my sister first." Song Jiaoren glanced at the door and called her name. "Ling'er! Come in."

"Yes." A soft voice resounded across the room as the girl made her appearance. She smiled toward Alex and bowed to him. "I am honored to see your excellency."

Alex was uncomfortable when she called him that. He had gotten used to being called Young Master or Master, but he had yet to get accustomed to other formal things. Even so, he didn't show it in his face and kept showing his calm face.

"This is Song Ling'er. She is a 9-Star Martial Monarch, almost breakthrough to the last level of Martial Monarch. Our father is the same, but she is from my second mother." Song Jiaoren introduced her.

Alex nodded, fully knowing her identity due to the information that Nicole got from here. He stretched his hand and smiled. "Nice to meet you. I am Alexander Sirius. As you know, I am the current leader of Spirit Nest."

Song Ling'er observed Alex for a while and nodded her head. "The name of Alexander Sirius is like thunder reverberating in one's ear. I am honored to go to the Ancient Ruin with such a person."

"You jest. I am just a simple 8-Star Martial Monarch, no more, no less." Alex smiled.

"Anyway, I would like to apologize in advance for her character. I have taught her many things, but it is hard to change one's character." Song Jiaoren sighed.

"What do you mean, Brother? You didn't even let me sleep for a few days, and now I am tired like this." Ling'er pouted.

"This is her character…" Song Jiaoren sighed, embarrassed. In front of this serious Alex, he couldn't just act so casually, especially with Alexander's status. Even just to prove her sister's character already made him sweat inside. He glanced at Alex, wondering whether he would be angry or not.

To his surprise, Alex was smiling. Little did they know that Alex loved to see brother and sister had a nice relationship because he only experienced it for a few years before everything changed on Earth. Little did he know that his sister was far worse than Song Ling'er. If she was here, who knows what she would do.

Alex kept his smile and gentle expression while looking at these two. Song Jiaoren suddenly had a weird thought as he glanced at Alex and his sister back and forth.

Before his imagination went out of control, Alex added, "There's nothing like what you imagine in your mind."

"Ah!" Song Jiaoren became embarrassed and sad. He was embarrassed since Alex just saw through him. He was sad that it would seem Alex didn't find Song Ling'er charming, even though her beauty was on par with the likes of Evelyn or Elizabeth.

At the same time, the girl was somehow hurt by the lack of appreciation from Alex, albeit she didn't dare to show it on her face. Song Jiaoren had told her everything from Alex's status, Supreme VIP Card, his wife, the Main Blackwade Clan and so on. Although she had a hard time believing it, she had no choice other than to believe it.

It was already absurd for a mysterious man to appear and rise through ranks so quickly if he didn't have those qualities. She was wondering how to help her family and decided just to let her brother take control.

"Anyway, Song Ling'er will be the one who enters the Ancient Ruin. I will be accompanying you in your journey of course, but I will only watch from the outside."

"I understand." Alex nodded.

"Then, we will excuse ourselves and prepare for the Ancient Ruin. I will come here three days later." Song Jiaoren and Song Ling'er stood up and cupped their hands before leaving the room.

After they left, Alex took out Anya's card and asked. "Anya. Do you mind filling me about the Ancient Ruin?"

Hearing Alex's voice, Anya immediately replied. "Sure. What do you want to know? Or Shall I explain from the start?"

"From the start please."

"Alright. Ancient Ruin is known as a useless ruin by the people because the seven influences hid the fact about the Ancient Ruin. Inside there, you will meet a certain array that will teleport your consciousness to the Ancient Battlefield, where you fight many monsters from thousands of years ago."

"Wait!" Alex frowned after finding something was wrong. "Will teleport my consciousness to an Ancient Battlefield? Does this mean I will be going with my soul? It's not an illusion then. And what is the deal with monsters from thousands of years ago?"

"I will explain everything. First of all, you are going to fight with your soul. There is an array there that would help you to construct a real body with your soul. I think you know about the name of the array, right?" Anya asked.

"I know. It's Myriad Soul Body Array. The array will try to form an astral body with your soul… However, this array is classified as a Divine Array, or you can say Rank 9 Array." Alex furrowed his eyebrows. "Wait… The fact that this world was a Divine World with many God Rank Experts… Now, I understand the concept."

Anya smiled and added. "That's why there is something that you need to know. This fight is like all or nothing. If you grab many things with you and somehow get killed by the monsters there, then you will get nothing. Hence, people should know when to quit."

"I understand about that and the fact that this array is something like this… The Ancient Battlefield must be a real place." Alex frowned.

"That's right. After investigating the area, we have realized the Ancient Battlefield is a huge place underground. Only those arrays in the Ancient Ruin that could teleport people to that place."

Alex suddenly thought something ridiculous. "Can I bring Firia inside?"

"I don't know. You might want to check it for yourself. However, I do need to warn you that the place is surrounded by Divine Array, so you should be careful if you want to try. I know that you are planning to have Firia inside… And if you really can go there with your real body, you will be able to summon us as we will fight alongside you.

"But there are several warnings that I need to address. First, if you enter the place normally, even if you die, you might only retain some internal injuries that can be healed over time. If you are coming with your real body, you might die there."

"I know." Alex nodded his head. "That's why I am thinking about going with my real body. Remember the fact there are settlements inside that place? I assume that place is holding more than what we actually know."

Anya fell into silence. "They are real humans… and the fact that they are there for thousands of years, they might also hold artifacts and other things from God Rank Experts…"

"Yeah. I think it's worth the shot. As long as I am careful, I will probably be fine. I have Space Element to help me after all." Alex smirked.

"That is still far too dangerous," Anya complained.

"I am just trying to maximize all the efforts. How about this? I am going to sneak inside the place while Firia will represent me as the Spirit Nest's representative. We will go together and check whether they are giving us EXPs and Gacha Tickets. In that case, I will summon all of you. If not, I can still escape inside that Blue Colored Realm. So, you won't need to worry about me." Alex smiled.

Anya thought for a moment. His proposal was indeed tempting. 'The Space World itself is different from the normal world… If you are hiding there, I am sure that no one will be able to endanger you. Considering they are unable to rupture the Space that leads to that world. However, you have said that there might be a chance for a Space Beast to appear there, so I am not sure whether to let you go like that."

"How about this? I will leave that place as soon as I know I won't be able to fight any further? I can enter that place with my real body means I can also escape from there." Alex tried to convince her.

Anya closed her eyes and sighed. "I understand. Since you are very adamant about entering it, I will trust you in this matter. But I want you to do three things first."

"What is it?" Alex smiled after he succeeded in convincing Anya.

"Firstly, you need to check the Ancient Ruin yourself. We are not capable of discerning the arrays inside that place, so I want you to make sure you can go and leave that place whenever you want."

"I understand. There are a few days left, so I can go there to check. No, I will be checking that place after I end this conversation." Alex agreed without hesitation.

"Then, you need to go back here first and ask Firia about it. Knowing that you are going to risk your life while she is protected by the array… I am sure she will be a bit hurt to hear it. As long as you can convince them, I won't stop you anymore."

"Firia, huh… I want her to get anything we can get inside that place while adding experiences under her belt. It seems I really need to convince her first and can't wait until everything happens…" Alex sighed and nodded. "I understand. I will go there after this."

"The last thing I want you to do is to take Sherry, Kyle, and Stina with you. Even if you can't sneak inside the barrier, they will surely help you. And because of their connection with you, the array will consider you as one being."

"Alright. I will go to your place."
