"What is your second question?" Alex asked.
Aurelius took a deep breath, then voiced the second most pressing question on his mind, "Why did you choose me? I mean, you could have chosen that old man, the Wind Flame Divine Lord, or the genius who made a name for himself in Bloody Sky City."
Alex looked at Aurelius with a thoughtful expression, his eyes reflecting something unreadable.
"Why did I choose you?" Alex repeated, his voice steady. "It's true that there are others but none of them have what you possess."
"What...?" Aurelius listened intently, curiosity and doubt warring within him. His heart also trembled a little and a seed of doubt rose in his heart.
Can it be that Alex knows about some valuable treasure that is in his possession?
Having several False and True Treasures in his possession, not to mention those 10 Strands of Lightning God's Divinity which is a Universe Treasure, Aurelius could not help but worry.
Alex is powerful and if he truly knows about any of these treasures, he might try to forcefully take them.
Fortunately, Alex's next words brought Aurelius a sense of calm.
"You possess the Lightning God's Profound Body and Bloodline, and your potential is limitless. You have the ability to become one of the strongest beings in the entire universe. So why wouldn't I choose you?"
While Aurelius heaved a sigh of relief, he was also stunned, not expecting Alex to know about his special physique and bloodline.
Although Aurelius still had several questions for Alex—like how Alex knew about his special physique and bloodline, what he truly wanted from him, and more—he chose not to ask. Instead, he silently decided to follow Alex.
After all, Alex could take him to a higher-level world, and there seemed to be no harm in following him for now.
Seeing that Aurelius had fallen silent, a knowing smile appeared on Alex's face. He then started to walk in the direction of Slaughter City. Aurelius obviously followed behind him.
Now that he had some time, Alex looked at the information on some of the treasures replicated by Aurelius.
[Name: Lightning God's Profound Body.
Detail: The Lightning God's Profound Body is believed to be a divine physique bestowed upon the descendent of Zephyros Yorus, the founder of the Zephyros Clan. Legends state that this physique could grant a warrior the ability to master the primal essence of lightning. The owner of this physique can command and control divine lightning, summoning powerful bolts and storms at will.
The body can also generate a protective aura of divine lightning that shields the user from physical and energy-based attacks. This armor can absorb and redirect energy, converting it into additional power for the user.
The Lightning God's Profound Body enables the user to resonate with the natural currents of lightning, making even Heavenly Thunder and Lightning of Divine Punishment unable to harm the user.
P.S.: The Lightning God's Profound Body is one of the rarest and most revered physiques even in the entire Astral Sea. It is said that only those with divine favor or extraordinary talent can fully unlock the true potential of this physique.
Its powers are considered to be a manifestation of the divine will of Zephyros Yorus who transcended the Astral Sea, making it a symbol of supreme authority over lightning and thunder.]
Alex could not be more shocked. He felt like he had underestimated this physique. His heart raced as he stared at the information about the Lightning God's Profound Body. His mind was overwhelmed, struggling to process what he was seeing. It felt like a powerful wave had crashed into his chest, leaving him breathless.
His thoughts spun in disbelief, and his body froze for a moment, completely taken aback.
From the information panel, Alex learned about something called the Astral Sea. Although he is not sure, he felt like the Astral Sea must be what lay beyond the Universe.
What shocked him even more was the progenitor of this body, Zephyros Yorus. The information panel actually said that he transcended the Astral Sea.
If his guess is really true, if the Astral Sea truly lies beyond the Universe, then what does it mean to transcend the Astral Sea?
Doesn't it mean Zephyros Yorus at least reached the apex of the Astral Sea or maybe even beyond that?
Alex could not even imagine; he was just astonished to the extreme. This was also the first time Alex learned something new, something about the place he likely originated from.
Now that he thinks about it, he had never seen another person with a "Soul" attribute in their information panel. Other than himself, Aurelius is the first person.
It is no wonder Aurelius possesses a unique soul; he is a descendant of Zephyros Yorus after all.
Suppressing the upheaval in heart, Alex opened the information about the Lightning God's Profound Bloodline and Lightning God's Profound Soul. They revealed almost similar information as the Lightning God's Profound Body.
Finally, Alex looked at the Lawful Spirit's information panel that he succeeded in replicating.
[Name: Heavenly Lightning Bolt.
Type: Lawful Spirit (Lightning-based)
Detail: The "Heavenly Lightning Bolt" is a manifestation of the universe's purest lightning laws, embodying the divine power of celestial thunder. This Lawful Spirit is often associated with the Heavenly Tribulation which is a fearsome force that tests cultivators at crucial breakthroughs.
The spirit's origin is believed to be traced back to the primordial forces that govern the natural order, particularly lightning's role as both a destroyer and purifier. The Heavenly Lightning Bolt was birthed when the first lightning of Life Tribulation struck Zephyros Yorus, the "Lightning God", creating a spirit infused with the absolute, divine power of lightning.
The Heavenly Lightning Bolt is not merely a force of destruction; it can grow along with its owner. It has the potential to become an existence that enforces universal balance, punishing those who defy the natural order. Those who master this Lawful Spirit are capable of unleashing the full, terrifying power of heavenly tribulation lightning.
P.S: The "Heavenly Lightning Bolt" is revered by cultivators but feared by those who practice forbidden arts. Only those with the purest understanding of lightning laws can bond with this Lawful Spirit.]
Alex was stunned again. He did not expect the birth of Heavenly Lightning Bolt to hold so much information.
One thing that confused him though was the Lightning God.
The progenitor of Lightning God's Profound Body, Bloodline, and Soul was a person named Zephyros Yorus. Zephyros Clan is a descendant of Zephyros Yorus who transcended the Astral Sea. Of course, Alex has no idea what exactly this phrase means.
What shocked Alex the most was that the "Lightning God" who emerged from the Zephyros Clan and left, claiming he would one day return to lead the clan beyond this universe, had the same name as the clan's founder. The only difference was that the founder's name was Zephyros Yorus, while the "Lightning God" who came from the clan was known as Yorus Zephyros.
Most importantly, both Zephyros Yorus and Yorus Zephyros are bestowed with the title of Lightning God.
Alex seemed to have touched something invisible but could not hold it. It was as if he understood something but could not explain it.
This feeling was very irritating, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Anyway, Alex has two Lawful Spirits now.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at his own information panel.
