104 Truth
Alex and Sherry slowly opened their eyes after the light seems dimd down. They were shocked by what just happened. They were suddenly in an unknown place after that circle appeared.
'Is this another world once again?' Alex who experienced such a past once imdiately had this kind of thought. Well, no one can bla him for that. Instead, Alex imdiately ordered Sherry. "Sherry, go inside my body again"
"Wuu"
But before Sherry went inside Alex's body. Suddenly, a voice was heard. Along with the voice, A middle-aged man appeared. The man was looked like he was in his early thirties. With red long hair fluttering, and a kind of cosplay like costu on earth that made him appearance look gallant. He appeared and stopped Sherry.
"Stop. You don't need to."
Alex raised his sword. "Who are you?"
"Alright alright, you don't need to point your sword at , young man. Haiz, five thousand years passed and finally another one with the sa elent appeared"
Alex frowned, but a thought flashed on his mind, "You are the Ascender?"
"Hmm, Ascender huh… what a nostalgic na. Yes, it is true. I am the Ascender. My na is Maxwell. Would you like to be my disciple?"
"Eh? EH? EEEEEHHHHH?"
Alex was too shocked by this kind of developnt. Suddenly a middle-aged man or the so-called ascender, extends his hand and wanted him to be his student?
"What with your expression. It was already 5000 years after I ascended, and you were like this when I wanted you to be my student" Maxwell pouted.
"No no, it just…shock "
Maxwell nodded, "mmm, I forgive you. Then, what is your answer? Would you like to be my student?"
Alex contemplated a bit but shook his head. "I'm sorry I won't"
"What? I heard it wrong right?"
Alex shook his head, "I'm very sorry. But I already have a teacher"
"But I can give you more than him you know. You can ascend like "
Alex keeps shaking his head, "I'm very sorry. But I will stick with my teacher I feel like I betraying him if I accept. I am here only for my wife"
"Wife?"
"Yes. She got inflicted by poison. It was called Green Devil Poison"
"Green Devil Poison?" Maxwell was startled. He now looked at Alex with a pity. "I'm sorry. If you wanted to cure her. Then it was impossible. Even at my current level, I can't cure her nor know the antidote. Especially, in here I'm just an astral body left by from five thousand years ago. Though the soul steal connected with my main body"
"What? There is no cure?" Alex suddenly kneeled, "Please. You are my last hope. It was because of … it was because of …"
Maxwell looked at him frowned. "Sigh… Young man, though there is no cure. There is a temporary one."
Maxwell looked at the sky, he sighed. "Green Devil Poison. What a curse. Back then, I also only could temporarily cure her after she got inflicted by that poison. She passed away after around 6 months if my mory serves right."
"Her?"
"Yes. She is my wife"
"Is?" Alex was surprised, he used present, not past.
"Yes. She is my current wife. Let told you a story. Back in the days. An old man reincarnated after he died because he failed his ascension to godhood. That old man was reincarnated in this world. From the young day, the young man was claid to be a genius. With the mory of his past life. That was to be expected. But even with that, he felt empty and lonely. And that ti co. As long as you live with others, there would always envy, jealousy, and greed. The assassins ca to assassinate the young man. The young man barely escaped from those n. He collapsed on the ground near a village.
There was a girl who accidentally pass by and found the young man. She silently carried him to her ho, their village don't accept an outsider. That girl was an orphan, despite living in poverty. She still helped that young man, She used her all what she had, to cure the young man. But because she brought this unknown young man, the young man finally woke up, but because he had no energy, he can't open his eyes nor even move. The village sohow knew about it. It wanted to expel the young man. But the girl rejected it. Those two finally exiled from the village. The young girl carried the young man outside. She even apologized to the 'unconscious' him. The young man was moved beyond reason. The emptiness in his heart was filled with love. Even though he can't move or open his eyes. Tears still flowing on his face.
After that, she continuously took care of the young man until he finally wakes up. They got closer and closer and finally she beca his wife, they lived happily in secret. But their happiness also not for long. The previous party found him, and this ti, he targeted his wife not him. The wife was inflicted by Green Devil Poison in that incident. After he annihilated his enemy. He cured her and spent six months with her before she passed away. He promised to find her once again. And the fate play its might. After traveling to many worlds for two thousand years, he finally found her. But the new her didn't have any mories between them, but the young man didn't give up. After countless efforts, the new her slowly loved him and also slowly got her previous life mories back. and they live happily ever after."
"This story…"
"Yes. That is my love story. My wife accompanies here and I live happily with her now. Now the one who I wanted to be my student got inflicted by that poison. What a work of fate. But everything becos the past, the issue now is what is your answer?"
"I…" Alex hesitated. He recalled the ti he had with Alicia. Her smile, the ti with her, every precious mories with her flashed on his mind. If he didn't et Alicia, will he beco what he now? But two thousand years…
"You are luckier than . Look beside you, She is an Elental Beast. Unlike a normal beast that possessed elents in their body. They were not qualified to be called an Elental Beast. The Elental Beast is the king of the elent, only under Pure Elent like us. The example was her, she was the Fire Elental Beast. The other example was Water Elental Beast, I got lucky to et him back then. He was a shark, and just like I said, he is the king of water. Beside of them as the king of elent. The chance for them to beco a divine beast was also higher. Even after my 5000 years journey. I only t one which is that Shark. There are so rumors about them too, like an almighty thunderbird or the others. So I believe, you will find her faster than "
Alex looked at Sherry who puffed her chest. He smiled a bit, he decided. "I will choose the sa path as you"
"A wise choice." Maxwell smiled. "Oh right, my offer still the sa. How about you beco my disciple?"
"As I said, I already have a teacher"
"Is that your only reason?"
Alex contemplated a bit and nodded.
"Let confirm sothing first. You have a Teacher and you are a student? So Teacher and Student relationship?"
Alex nodded.
"Then, it is easy. I will beco your master and you will beco my disciple. So our relationship is Master and Disciple relationship."
"…" Alex was speechless. "Aren't they the sa?"
"No! They are not the sa. They are…"
Maxwell explained for about thirty minutes. And closed it with one thing. "If you accept, I will give you the temporary cure"
"Please accept as your disciple" Actually, Maxwell didn't need to explain that long to him, he only need that last sentence. Even though it was pretty shaless.
"Good Good" Maxwell nodded. "Ah, you didn't need to kneel. This is only a wisp of my will. It will disappear sooner or later. Save it for later after you et my main body. If you didn't want to do it, it is also fine for . After traveling to many worlds. I learned about many cultures. Many kinds of master-disciple relationships. So personally, I didn't care about it much. As long as in your heart, I am your master, then it's enough"
"Master"
"Alright, since you are going on the sa path as . Let's talk about it first" Maxwell saw the impatient look on Alex's face. He smiled, "Don't worry. After she got inflicted by that poison. She at least have around one month left. So, it's fine for now"
Alex relieved a bit. From that incident happen till now. It still took less than a week.
"Alright. Let's move on. First, I will talk about the condition to ascend. Cultivation. Though I see that you are on the right path. But the cultivation shouldn't be present in this world? Even if the other wanted to learn this path. The energy from cultivation would only be engulfed inside their bodies. Are you perhaps a reincarnated person like ?"
"Reincarnated person?" Alex shook his head. "I'm not"
"Not? Then how can you enter this world? I tried to enter this world again but got stopped by this world will. It rejected an outsider like us."
"But I got transported to this world along with four other" Alex was surprised. Entering this world from outside was impossible. Then how can He and the other four?
Maxwell contemplated a bit. "Wait. Don't tell , do you from that place? You said you were summoned to this world right?"
"That place?"
"The exiled world"
"The exiled world?" Alex was confused.
"Yes. How is that world now?"
"Hmm… My world… The civilization was advancing rapidly. We can send people to the moon… We might be able to send people to another planet soon…maybe. Oh right, there are no other races, only human live there"
"Have you wondering, if you actually living alone in there? Have you see any being other than you. Or any other races?"
Alex thought for a mont. Alien? There are so rumors about it but no concrete proof existed, like their body or sothing else. "No, I think"
"Sigh… you really co from that place"
"What is that place Master? What do you an by the Exiled World?"
"This is going to be a little long and this is a taboo story, well since you are from there I will tell you about it, but don't spread it… It was from…"
