Chapter 738 - Their Plan

"Anyway, we have arrived." Shakdi showed Alex a thick wooden gate in front of them. "Behind this door is where we usually reside."

Alex looked at the door with his Spirit Eyes, finding the rest nineteen people inside. However, he also found an additional eight energy signs inside.

'If my speculation is right, the additional eight come from the gates for each realm.' Alex thought for a moment and nodded. "Since this is the case, should we go in?"

"Sure." Shakdi smiled and opened the gate.

All the previous figures stood side by side as if they had sensed them behind the gate. They cupped their hands politely and greeted them. "Welcome."

"The Spirit God truly saved this world, including the billions of people inside, so I hope you can understand our action," Shakdi whispered to him. How could they act rude to someone related to the Spirit God himself? Although they didn't know whether Alex was the Spirit God himself or not, it was still apparent that the one possessing Alex earlier was the Spirit God.

That alone was enough to respect Alex as they respected their benefactor. In addition, the reactions from the spirits signified his status.

Alex didn't answer Shakdi, not knowing what to say in this situation.

"Do you mind if they stay in our talk?" Shakdi asked.

"It's fine. I am with the others as well." Alex smiled, glancing at his group.

"That's good. Well, I will be the one to talk most of the time, so…" Shakdi shrugged and pointed at the whole room.

Alex finally took his eyes away from these nineteen people and observed the room. The room was similar to the one before, full of bricks. However, there were eight doors inside this room. Red, blue, green, yellow, white, black, transparent, and pink. Each door signified the elements behind them.

His target must be the one behind the pink door. He looked at the door with two stone pillars attached to it as a support of the gate.

Noticing this action, Shakdi smiled and began his explanation. "As you might already know, the red door is full of fire monsters, the blue door is full of water monsters, and so on. And the one I am talking about is the pink door. This door sends you to another location, a bit far from here, but also underground."

"If I may ask, where is the location? You said the monsters were trapped underground, right? They must still be somewhere in this world, right?" Alex asked.

"Yes. I want to confirm something first. You come here through that pillar, right?"

Alex nodded.

"Actually, the gate itself transferred you to another underground cave, which is this place. You can say it's a kind of neighboring cave. The same principle applied to these eight gates. Each of them is located around us, but considering their size, you can say it's pretty far from us."

"And every place is linked with each other," Alex added.

"Yes."

"I see. Just like you said, if we kill a beast from one of the seven elements, the others will notice and breakthrough this gate. Although I can see how much illusion and space element to hide this gate, they must be able to feel each other through the gate, which they will use to locate the gate." Alex thought for a moment and said.

"Correct." Shakdi nodded. "If all the monsters gather in one place and breakthrough from this place, there is a possibility they will find the main entrance and kill millions of people from the four kingdoms. After that, they might resurface and bring a catastrophe to the world. That's what we don't want to see."

"I understand. I won't do anything foolish. That's right. Knowing that it is space monsters, how long can we stay inside the Blue-Colored Realm?"

"Blue-Colored Realm huh? The general term for it is Space World, so I think it's better to use that terminology, so the people will understand you easily." Shakdi paused before answering his question. "As for how long you can stay, normal people can't stay for long, but Space Element masters can stay there as long as he has enough Spiritual Energy. However, since the request is coming from me, I will envelop you with the special energy of mine and let your team stay there without worrying about the time limit."

"Special Energy?" Alex tilted his head in confusion, wondering if there is such a technique in his knowledge.

"This is my Original Skill, coupled with my Divine Soul. I can create a layer of energy that can protect you inside there."

"Ah!" Alex scratched his head, realizing he couldn't copy that technique.

"I will draw the energy from the tower to maintain the suit for as long as possible, so you don't need to worry. If you kill the monsters like how you did in the swamp, I believe you can finish all of them within four months."

"Four months? That's a lot of time, considering it's only fifty thousand monsters…" Alex thought for a moment and looked at Anna.

"We can kill up to five thousand monsters per day without using the True Spirit Body. However, we are facing space monsters here, and in unknown terrain, so two thousand a day is a maximum." Anna nodded. "Well, they should also have a stronger cultivation base, so around one thousand a day, I guess."

"It's around two months to three months since we need to be careful." After reaching an agreement with Anna, he looked back at Shakdi.

"Ahaha… I have decreased that number after seeing your strength, and to think it's still not fast enough… Anyway, I won't mind if you can do it at that speed, but please be careful since they are strong. Meanwhile, I believe you need one month to absorb my knowledge and understanding."

"I understand. We will just do our best in this matter and don't need to care about the time." Alex nodded. "That's right. Can you teleport us back after we finish everything?"

"I am afraid not." Shakdi shook his head. "After you enter here, you can only return six months from now since the tower will do the rest. As much as I want to help you, it's impossible for us."

Alex furrowed his eyebrows, noticing that he couldn't raise his spirits' level.

"But don't be disappointed first. The Spiritual Energy here is so dense, so you should be able to gain another star within that time."

Unfortunately, Shakdi didn't know that the spirits couldn't raise their strength with Spiritual Energy.

At this time, Anna sent a thought transmission to him. 'We should be able to ask someone on the surface to summon us. Although it's a shame that we can't fight here anymore, we can start working with our grand plan.'

'Indeed. Our target is the Ancient Blue Family this time.'

'I understand. That Rio must have reached 2-Star Martial Saint inside this place, and he will soon become the Patriarch. At that time, the situation in their family won't be stable, and we can use that chance to threat… Ahem, negotiate with them.'

'Yeah. Just search for the spies from Freedom Sect about the details. Tell them that I will go two months after we return. After that, tell Song Jiaoren to meet me. I will handle Elder Manness. Of course, tell the Ancient Blue Family that I will come to them and have a secret talk. Knowing their disposition, they wouldn't leak this news.' Alex nodded.

'I will consult the rest with Anya and you later.'

Alex agreed and looked back at Shakdi. "If you don't mind, I want to know why there are so many monsters coming out of that pillar? From what I can see, there are around five million monsters…"

Shakdi let out a long sigh. "This is one of their special characteristics. The monsters can breed a new monster, creating an infinite number of monsters. Each realm can only hold fifty thousand monsters while the rest are teleported to the pillar and let the humans there kill it every five hundred years."

"Now I can see why monsters rule that planet." Alex nodded with an understanding look.

"Yeah. You can say this is our way of birth control. Imagine if that five million monsters and four hundred thousand from here breakthrough and reach the surface…" Shakdi's expression turned grim.

Alex closed his eyes and sighed. "The world might be ruined. The people might stand up against these monsters, but if I take the birth of new monsters to the picture, everything will be for naught."

"That's right. Unlike this world system where the world expends its extra energy to create monsters, these monsters are far different."

Alex thought for a moment and nodded. "I will try to help as much as possible. I don't want that to happen after all."

"Thank you."

"And one last thing that I need to know is the terrain inside the Space World."

Shakdi thought for a moment and asked him to follow him to the pink gate.

"I will open this gate for a few seconds, so please take a look carefully." Shakdi gulped down and clapped his hand, activating the array of the gate.

This pink wooden gate suddenly became translucent as the wood vanished into thin air. Shakdi then channeled more Spiritual Energy to create a small hole in the middle of the gate.

"This…" Alex peeked inside, astonished with what he saw. Inside the blue-colored realm were a few Spatial Gates, leading to a different space. However, if he looks closely, there is grassland in the closest Spatial Gates and a rocky mountain in the next one.

Shakdi felt the leaking Space Element and immediately closed the hole again. "The Space Monsters don't have a uniform species. For example, the water element will mostly be fish and so on. However, the Space Monsters are closer to a human form.

"There are monsters that have pointed ears. Or there are bulls with human bodies or half-human half-horse creatures. Each of them has different living environments, so it's hard to say the terrain itself. I can only say that each Spatial Gates contains one thousand to two thousand monsters each. If I remember correctly, there are thirty-three gates inside."

Alex lowered his eyebrows, frowned. Just like how the illusion portrayed them, they were most likely the Dark Elves, Minotaurs, and Centaurs. "This is going to be a troublesome one since we need to adapt to each characteristic. Luckily, they don't have a high number."

"Indeed." Anya joined the conversation. As usual, where there is planning, Anya will be there. "Are they living together all the time?"

"No. From my observation, they only had tribal groups with one hundred to two hundred monsters each." Shakdi shook his head.

"How about the parent? Where is it? I think I can kill him first before dealing with the rest." Alex said, knowing that the day had yet to end, so he didn't want to waste the True Spirit Body.

"Only by closing all the Spatial Gates that the Spatial Gate leading to their leader would open."

"That's a shame." Alex sighed. "Nonetheless, it's not that different. I will try to close each Spatial Gates within one or two days and move to the other ones. From what I can see and sense, the Spiritual Energy is quite rich inside. I believe I can recover our strength much faster."

"Yeah. We are harvesting the Spiritual Energy released by the monsters outside to power up the entire system, so the Spiritual Energy is distributed to this place as well."

"I get the gist of the condition. I don't think I have a problem with entering the portal." Alex nodded and looked at his group. "Is everyone ready to enter?"

"We are ready."

"Then let me help you." Shakdi clapped his hand again and summoned a few spheres. These pink spheres swallowed Alex and the others, coating them like slime before it vanished into thin air. "This is my Space Suit that can withstand the energy inside the Space World. Even if you can't do it, you just need to come back here, and I will open the gate immediately."

Alex nodded with a smile, assuring him once again before standing in front of the gate.

"Then, may fortune be with you." Shakdi opened the gate again, and the other God Rank Experts cupped their hands, wishing him luck.

Alex and the others finally entered the Space World.
