Chapter 393: Please accept this small token of my gratitude
“Summoning sphere!”
A wave of gray energy erupted from Alex, instantly engulfing Five Colors City.
Thousands of blue flames flickered to life atop the corpses of fallen Beastmen, like eerie, ethereal flowers blooming amidst the carnage.
The Archalpha’s sword, poised mere inches from Alex’s heart, froze mid-air, held back by an invisible force.
The blue flames below extinguished simultaneously, and the corpses withered into desiccated husks before crumbling into dust.
The Archalpha stared, bewildered. His attack had no effect on Alex.
“Darkness sphere.”
Seizing the moment of his distraction, Alex unleashed her darkness sphere. Her scythe crackled with black energy, as if capable of devouring everything in its path.
Clang!
The scythe slammed into the long sword, cleanly slicing the Archalpha’s weapon into two pieces!
He leaped back, his face etched with shock.
Alex’s scythe could cleave through anything, but it was ineffective against intangible spheres.
The Archalpha’s long sword had been protected by a strange sphere, preventing her scythe from making contact.
Throughout their battle, their weapons had never truly clashed.
But the darkness sphere possessed the power to devour all spheres!
The moment the scythe connected with the sword, the Archalpha’s weapon was severed.
Alex had realized that the Archalpha’s strength stemmed largely from his weapon. She had held back, hoping to reason with him, considering he was also a lord.
But now, with communication proving futile, there was no point in wasting time.
“Unorthodox and insidious! Truly bizarre!”
The Archalpha discarded his broken weapon, his two fingers pressed together before his chest.
“The sword resides within the heart. All things can be a sword!”
A surge of sword energy erupted from him, his aura even more formidable than before.
Alex was surprised. She had underestimated these Sovereign level beings. Even with her mastery over multiple spheres, defeating a true Sovereign level opponent was proving to be a challenge.
“It seems I can’t hold back any longer!”
Multiple spheres of energy swirled around Alex, each a different color. Thirteen spheres intertwined, forming a dazzling rainbow.
Her left eye, pitch black and bottomless, radiated death and destruction, like an endless void.
Her right eye, brimming with vitality, pulsed with green and life, as if containing a world within.
The two eyes merged, unleashing a blinding white light that engulfed everything.
Instinctively, the Beastman Empire’s Archalpha, the ten Emperor level beings, and even the undead below shielded their eyes.
When the light subsided, Alex and the Archalpha were gone.

They reappeared in another space. Beneath their feet, lush green grass swayed in the gentle breeze. Emerald trees rustled softly, and a crystal-clear stream babbled nearby.
Everything was bathed in a soft, white light, as if this wasn’t a real world.
The Archalpha gazed at his surroundings, a flicker of recognition in his eyes. This place seemed familiar.
He turned sharply, and behind him stood the school from his memories. The weathered wooden door spoke of time’s passage, and the sign above it hung crookedly.
Inside the school, a teacher paced back and forth, his expression stern.
Slap!
A ruler struck a child’s arm, sending a small wooden carving hidden within a textbook tumbling to the floor. Although crudely carved, it resembled a sword.
“Yi Chen, you’re always fooling around, neglecting your studies! How can you face your parents who worked so hard to raise you?!”
“Teacher, I don’t want to study! I want to practice swordsmanship! I want to become a sword immortal!”
Slap!
Another blow from the ruler. Tears welled up in the child’s eyes, but he fought them back, his gaze fixed defiantly on the teacher.
“Sigh, you’re truly hopeless!”
The exasperated teacher turned and left.
…
The Archalpha stood frozen, as if struggling to remember something. Suddenly, he clutched his head, collapsing to his knees in agony.
“Yi Chen…”
“My name is Yi Chen!”
A faint golden energy emanated from his body, quickly fading away.
He stood up, his gaze resolute, the confusion gone. He remembered everything.
In that moment, he had ignited his divine fire, ascending to the second stage of Sovereign level.
However, the divine fire was weak, flickering as if about to be extinguished.
“So it’s true…”
There was no joy in Yi Chen’s eyes, only determination. He suppressed his divine fire and bowed respectfully behind him.
“Thank you for your guidance. I am eternally grateful!”
“It seems you’ve regained your memories. I didn’t expect you to be an ancient Chinese.”
Alex materialized before him.
Yi Chen looked puzzled, unfamiliar with the term “ancient Chinese.”
“I was deceived by the World’s Heart, becoming its puppet. I reached Sovereign level through the way of the sword, so naturally, I sought to achieve godhood through the same path. One day, I stumbled upon a source of pure energy, crucial for my advancement at the time. I absorbed it without hesitation, but it cost me my memories.”
A melancholic look crossed Yi Chen’s face. He continued, “I had this feeling, this urge to build an empire and make it prosper. This must have happened centuries ago. Later, I tainted my bloodline, ruining my chances of becoming a true god.”
The World’s Heart had no conscious will and couldn’t have deliberately targeted Yi Chen. His current state must have been the result of some powerful race’s influence.
“Thank you for helping me rediscover myself.”
“You’re welcome. This is my world. It can isolate those energies, allowing you to break free from their influence.”
This was all part of Alex’s plan. She wasn’t worried about Yi Chen betraying her.
Although she couldn’t kill a second-stage Sovereign level being, she could easily seal him within her world.
“Is this… the power of the God of Creation?” Yi Chen asked, recalling their previous battle. “Your goal is truly ambitious, but I believe that with your talent, you will succeed.”
“Perhaps. But the path I’ve chosen is far more difficult than I imagined,” Alex replied calmly.
“I can never repay your kindness. Please accept this small token of my gratitude.”
Yi Chen extended his hands, a translucent white sphere of energy materializing within them.
Alex’s eyes widened. She could sense the potent sphere energy emanating from it. He was offering her his comprehension of his sphere!
“This is [Qi], my sphere. I offer it to you as a token of my gratitude for saving my life.”
