[In that case, I shall inform you about this first. We have gotten a letter from the Holy God that they want to discuss something with us. This will determine whether they are going to fight us or not.]

"When?"

[The letter came not long after you left and stated two years. Of course, we can delay it if you need.]

"Unfortunately, I don\'t know how long I need to finish the second test. If possible, can you delay it as long as you can?"

[I see. I will try to do that. Even so, it will only last for another half year. I don\'t think they will wait for you more than that.]

"I understand. I will complete the second test as soon as possible." Alex nodded before thinking. "I wonder if we should share a bit about the beast with others? I mean, there is a little information about it, right? Even my master has little to no knowledge about the beast."

[Fair enough. The record about that incident has been extinguished in order to prevent anyone from digging up the information and turning the universe into chaos anymore. To be honest, I don\'t like killing the Holy God.]

"Why?"

[Although he is opposing us right now, to be honest, he is just trying to help more and more people when expanding his influence. You can say that he is bringing good karma to himself. However, I will still kill him if necessary.]

"So, that\'s the reason. With people like him, I think he will be able to help us in the future. Well, we can see where he stands during the meeting."

[Yes. I will be preparing the discussion. Besides, if we can rope him, we will be able to stop the alliance.]

"Since the Holy God is the head." Alex nodded in agreement.

[One more thing. I also have a letter from the God of Destruction. It seems he wants to meet you. What do you think? Are you planning to meet him?]

"Now?"

[Yeah. The sooner the better.]

"So, I need to return…" Alex narrowed his eyes.

[I can\'t help with your return trip, but I can ask someone to change the direction of our Teleportation Formation, allowing you to reach that place in an instant. Calculating the distance, you will probably need only one more day to arrive.]

Alex thought for a moment and asked. "What is his purpose?"

[He didn\'t state anything other than meeting you.]

Alex narrowed his eyes and asked. "When and where?"

[Because Eulja will be too suspicious unlike the Holy God with his clear intention, the meeting place is on a planet called Rila. It\'s a Divine World far from anyone\'s eyes. In my perspective, it\'s fine to hold the meeting here.]

Alex thought for a moment. "For now, I can use the Teleportation Array in less than a second, so I think we can escape if necessary. That\'s the result of the inheritance anyway."

[That\'s even better. Though, I will gather the Elemental Gods to accompany us. We don\'t know what they plan to do anyway.]

"I understand. I will return right now." Alex sighed. It turned out that his plan failed, but it seemed to be important.

[I will send the messenger to the God of Destruction about the time.]

"Sure." Alex nodded. "And tell me everything you know about the God of Destruction."

[No need. To put it in one word, he is Leoz.]

"…" Alex twitched his eyebrows and sighed. "My luck is bad."

…

A few days later.

Alex returned to Eulja and entered the castle without wasting a single second.

Lin Xingzhi had been waiting for him right behind the gate. "The Elemental Gods have been waiting for us. We can move out anytime."

"I don\'t wish to waste time because it\'s the essence in my current situation." Alex nodded. "Ask them to meet me outside the castle and we will go immediately."

"No need to ask us. We are here, Your Majesty," replied Agnis while bowing his head and placing his hand on his chest, greeting him like that of a gentleman.

"That\'s right. I have heard that this God of Destruction has power close to that of the previous era, so I am curious to see him in person." The Earth God, Canaan, smiled.

"Indeed. Though I don\'t wish to fight if not necessary." Vina shrugged.

"Enough. Time to go." Alex shook his head.

The six Elemental Gods bowed their heads in unison.

"We are ready." Lin Xingzhi gave a confirmation.

Alex then waved his hand as they suddenly disappeared from the castle with just a blink of an eye.

"Wha—" All Elemental Gods were surprised to see this speed because it was far faster than what he had been doing. Even Lin Xingzhi dropped her jaw when she witnessed this speed for the first time, making her a bit dizzy.

"Don\'t throw up, okay?" Alex smirked evilly before waving his hand again.

The speed was far faster than they would have ever expected. To think that Alex managed to skip three days of the Teleportation journey into less than a day, it was scary in everyone\'s opinion.

"Alright! We\'ve arrived," said Alex with a calm expression as if the speed of the changing scenery didn\'t affect him at all. It usually made one want to puke, like what the Elemental Gods were currently experiencing.

Even Lin Xingzhi\'s expression wasn\'t that good. If she didn\'t experience watching his point of view during the return trip, she would be in the same condition as the Elemental Gods.

"Ugh…" Agnis was sweating all over his body as he dropped on his knees.

Helena was floating on her tummy as if she just fell unconscious.

Canaan dropped on his knees while Zerah tried to crush Canaan\'s shoulders as she endured the "motion sickness".

Rilt and Vina were hugging each other as Vina kept saying. "Don\'t you dare to throw up on me. I am going to kill you."

"I\'m trying, Wife. It\'s true that His Majesty has become a bit too powerful despite being a Rank 5 God, but this is just terrifying. I bet if he can trap someone and have them experience this, they will be too weak to even kill him." Rilt let out a long sigh.

"They still can stop me during the first few hours, so it\'s not possible. But I think we can add it in Jeanne\'s torture." Alex shook his head. "Anyway, we\'ve arrived. Let\'s go inside."

The Elemental Gods nodded their heads after taking several deep breaths, following Alex right behind him. Lin Xingzhi walked beside him and entered the Divine World.

As one would expect, someone already appeared to greet them. He was the God of Destruction\'s assistant.

"We have been waiting for you."

"Eh? I thought we arrived before you… Since the schedule was supposed to be two days later…" Lin Xingzhi narrowed her eyes.

"My master was just that impatient to meet the important person, so we ended up coming as soon as we received your reply."

"I see." Alex nodded. "Please."

"Understood. Please follow me." The assistant turned around and entered the world, leading Alex to the meeting place.

He saw that person who had a muscular body and emitted the same aura as Leoz. He was none other than the God of Destruction.

Behind him stood five Rank 2 Gods, staring at the Elemental Gods instead of Alex.

"…" The moment their eyes intertwined, there seemed to be something going on already. However, neither Alex nor the God of Destruction made any move.

Alex landed on the ground without any trouble and said with a calm expression. "I hope that you don\'t mind bringing my people, right?"

"I can understand after learning about your current cultivation stage. Still, to think that you would cause that huge shock right after your coronation despite being a Rank 5 God, I am impressed." The God of Destruction shook his head in understanding.

"The situation forced me to do so." Alex suddenly narrowed his eyes as his expression turned grim. "Just like now."

The Gods behind the opposite party flinched as if they thought Alex would do something.

"You are really interesting." The God of Destruction smirked when he saw how Alex\'s presence alone could influence his retainers. It was truly a surprise, considering his weak cultivation stage. "Before that…Let me introduce myself first."

"I am the God of Destruction, Raiju. Nice to meet you." Surprisingly, the God of Destruction emanated an invisible aura as if he planned to suppress Alex.

Even the Elemental Gods behind Alex had grown restless, not taking this challenge lightly.

However, Alex already cupped his hand and replied. "Spirit God, Alexander."

To challenge this invisible aura, Alex chose to release his boundless killing intent instead. It struck the aura as if fighting it in a full brawl match before both of them disappeared at the same time.

The God of Destruction couldn\'t help but smirk excitedly. "You are really amusing."

"Whether you want to test me or have another plan, I suggest you not to do the same thing, God of Destruction." Alex narrowed his eyes, glaring at this muscular guy.

"I know, I know. I was wrong for testing you, but it was necessary because I wanted to determine whether you are worthy or not to become my partner."

"!!!" Lin Xingzhi and the Elemental Gods widened their eyes, never expecting that Raiju planned for an alliance instead of fighting him.

"Ho? I am listening."

"As soon as I heard about your situation with the Holy God, I knew that it was the time to make an alliance with you."

"For what reason?"

"There are four major reasons. First, I can fight more God Kings because your side is lacking. I don\'t like suppressing someone with numbers and prefer fighting one on one instead. Hence, I believe I can achieve this by becoming your ally.

"Second, I want to fight you myself. You may be a Rank 5 God now, but your reputation is already like thunder reverberating in one\'s ears. So, I wish to see you becoming a God King and fight you myself to see the disparity between us.

"Third, the Spirit God actually died so strangely along with the other past God Kings. When I found the documents, I couldn\'t help but contemplate the reasons for that. There were two possibilities of their disappearance: enemies or wars. I doubt the latter because the Spirit God was very renowned in the past, so not many dared to create that big war. Hence, I wondered what kind of enemy could defeat the God Kings in the past.

"Fourth. I think this is the most obvious. If you heard about the Spirit God, you obviously wanted to make him an ally, no? I have been doing a background check and realized that Eulja might be declining as soon as the Spirit God died, but the way they are now…Even I am scared of the possibility of war between us. Hence, I would like to become your ally instead of an enemy. If it were not possible, I would like to become a neutral party instead. Thus the reason for this meeting."

Alex closed his eyes, pondering all the reasons the God of Destruction said. It was quite logical in his opinion, but he didn\'t know whether there was a hidden intention behind those reasons.

Seeing Alex\'s disturbed face, Raiju added one more thing. "I can do a Universe Oath to prevent "anything" that can be prevented."

Lin Xingzhi and the Elemental Gods stared at Alex, wondering what he would choose.

"This is a discussion, so I won\'t conclude everything before talking with you." Alex smiled. "I want you to swear that you won\'t mention, hint, or do anything that will lead someone to arrive at the conclusion of what we are talking about here. Of course, we will be doing it too to ensure fairness. Lastly, after this conversation, whether we can\'t arrive at the same conclusion, we will promise to stay neutral to each other in the worst scenario. This will apply for one hundred years. So…What will you choose?"

The God of Destruction smiled as his eyes brightened. "I…"
