Suddenly, Alec paused as he made a big decision on the spot. He needed to work even harder! Yes, that's right!
'Be ready! I am going to increase the intensity of my training! We are even going to hunt powerful monsters with bloodlines! There's no way I'm going to stay weak! If he is going to reach the Celestial rank, I am going to prove that I can as well!'
The system had no clue whether it should laugh or cry. Its host had truly lost his mind.
The training Alec was doing was already enough to scare everyone. Just how much harder did he want to push himself? But it could say nothing to reason with him.
It just hoped that when Alec stood at the peak of the supre rank-just a boundary away from the Celestial rank-but couldn't cross it despite everything, he wouldn't be too disappointed.
Alec stomped toward Jian, who looked a bit startled by his determined expression, as if he had made a significant decision.
"What are you chitchatting about? Hurry up! We have many enemies to eliminate!"
Before Asher and Jian could even speak, he turned and left, determined to take down all the mbers of the Nightkin race alongside Jas and the others. This was too a form of training -all to beco stronger!
Jian stared at his back and blinked.
"What happened to him all of a sudden?"
Asher shook his head, equally confused. Rembering that he needed to go and save his people, who were being coerced into signing dark contracts, he stood up despite his injuries not being fully healed.
Jian also stood up and followed him. They fought their way to the place where Asher's companions were imprisoned. Jian's blood boiled when he discovered they were being forced to sign dark contracts, and he killed every enemy even more rcilessly.
They saved almost all of them, except for a few who had chosen to self-destruct. None among them had signed the dark contracts. They believed that dying was better than becoming a slave to the dark side.
A long day ca to an end as the battle raged on across the planet. However, it was evident that Jas' side had already won.
Asher and many of his people watched from high above. The Nightkin race had killed so many of their own... but now they were the ones being slaughtered.
Many couldn't help but wonder how long this cycle of death would continue.
Suddenly, Asher recalled an important detail. Many of the people of the Nightkin race were searching for Celestial spirits on their planet, similar to the one he had seen in the Lost Treasure Tomb.
When Jian arrived to inform him and his people that all the powerful enemies above mortal rank had been defeated and that the remaining foes were also being eliminated, Asher shared this information with him.
Jian cursed, startling everyone, when he heard about the Celestial spirit.
"Shit! They're also searching for the Celestial spirits! Azazeal showed up in the Lost Treasure Tomb just to get the Celestial spirit that appeared because of Kyle! We're also looking for the Celestial spirits!"
Jas, who had arrived behind him to inform him that they would leave instantly once they finished eliminating the remaining enemies, paused when he heard him. He instinctively muttered sothing he had been telling everyone recently.
"We can't let the remaining Celestial spirits fall into the hands of the dark side. Azazeal isn't just searching for the Celestial spirits to open the Celestial realm, despite the fact that the entire universe would suffer; he's consuming them to beco stronger!"
Jian rubbed his temples. He knew that Azazeal was searching for the Celestial spirits, but he didn't realize that even after damaging the Realm of the Dead badly, the shadow generals were still trying to seize their only chance to save the universe.
The Will of the Universe had already revealed much to Jas about the sealed Celestial realm and how they can no longer open it without causing further harm to the universe. Alec and Jian, who had recently joined Jas, also gained this knowledge. However, after the ancient mories they had witnessed in the Lost Treasure Tomb, they were able to piece together all the information more effectively.
According to Jas, the Celestial realm was sealed by soone from the other side who had departed from their universe. He didn't disclose the identity of the individual, but Jian and Alec imdiately recognized that Nathaniel was the one who sealed that realm from the other side after he attained the Celestial rank and left. They just didn't understand how the hell that sick bastard managed to accomplish it.
They discovered that the spirits are powerful guardians who protected the gate of the Celestial realm before it was sealed. They possess imnse power, so much so that they can't be hard by the inhabitants of the universe. However, they scattered after the realm was sealed, and Azazeal began hunting and consuming them.
The spirits' spiritual power can open the Celestial realm, but according to the Will of the Universe, which had also begun looking for the spirits but couldn't sense them due to their unique and pure spritual presence, it was discovered that many of the spirits had already been consud by Azazeal.
The dark side leader sought to gain more power and forcefully tear open the path to the Celestial realm, ignoring the fact that the pressure from such an action could completely destroy the universe.
Now, the only way they could contact the Celestial realm without causing more harm was to gather the remaining living Celestial spirits hiding from Azazeal and attempt to establish a connection with the guardians of nature in the Celestial realm.
However, the challenges were: first, they were unable to locate the Celestial spirits, and second, the Celestial spirits were far too powerful for them to subdue!
Jian turned to face Jas.
"We know. You don't have to repeat it. Let's just start an all-out war against the planets inhabited by the races that are siding with the dark side. In that way, at least the dark side would have sothing to worry about and wouldn't search for the Celestial spirits."
Jas considered his words. But he still needed to consult many others to finalize this sudden plan. Their forces were already stretched thin since they needed to save the planets under attack; waging an all-out war against the planets protected by the shadow generals would be challenging.
"I will talk with the elders and the many other supre ranks on our side."
