"Hey, do you know the Fire God Clan and Snow White Mountain have been extinguished from this world?"

"What? Seriously?"

"Of course. There is no need for me to lie to you. I have heard it from the palace. You know that I work there, right? The queen herself has declared that everyone will be executed if they are making trouble to him."

"That much?"

"No. I think the queen didn\'t exaggerate it even a little bit. In fact, I think she is still hiding a few reports."

"What?"

"Do you know that every single Fire God Clan and Snow White Mountain that participates and stays in their influence get killed without mercy? And now our queen also becomes someone that will slay us if we invite danger to the kingdom just because of him… It\'s as if he is coming from Heaven, doing everything that somehow influences the others to kill for him."

"Indeed. From what I understood, I think he is someone like a Divine Being that was rumored to live in the past. They were strong that no one dared to go against them. Seeing how he has slain all of them, I think no one in this world can\'t be slain by his weapons."

"Yeah. Even Saints are no match against him, I wonder which one is his next target?"

"There is no doubt he will be going everywhere and killing some Gods and Goddesses next."

"True enough. He is truly a slayer so scary to the point our queen is afraid."

"A slayer huh… Since his next goal is to kill Divine Beings, won\'t he become a Divine Slayer?"

"That is a good analogy."

Their talk happened in a tavern, so many people also somehow eavesdropped. Before long, the rumor reached all ears in the Kingdom.

The same happened to the other influences. They were talking about Alex\'s scariness. Many of them called Alex as Harbinger of Death because wherever he went, death followed right behind him. Every influence that picked a fight against him would only turn to dust.

In another place, people were calling him a Battle Emperor. He was a peerless genius in a Martial Way, and his plan worked very effectively. Not only that, he was known for being good in Alchemy and Array as well. Not only that the Array could trap the enemy and attack them at the same time, but his pills could also help him in the battle.

At the same time, knowing his other identity as the leader of the Spirit Nest, it became even more glorious. He looked like an emperor who never lost a war.

These three titles described him best.

Little did they know that there was death lingering in the air that they would soon face.

Even though it had yet to reach them, the door to the afterlife had been opened wide.

In the Freedom Sect, specifically between the Fire God Clan\'s former territory and the Ancient Ruin. Licht was standing tall in the sky, watching the battle on the ground. It was a war between humans and beasts.

"To think there is something like this… What exactly just happened for us to experience something like this just after settling down." Licht gritted his teeth.

"I don\'t know as well. I have seen the gate, but it is more complicated than I think. I don\'t think I can stop the gate even with a Spatial Gate. There is a Space Disturbance around the area that prevents us from using our Spatial Gate. In other words, we can\'t seal the portal by using our Space Element." Aileen beside him shook her head with regret.

"But we won\'t be able to hold on for long at this rate. And we don\'t know how many monsters will come from that gate…" Licht furrowed his eyebrows.

"How about asking for help?"

"Help? We won\'t get any standing if we ask help when we just settled down here."

"No. I am talking about asking help from that person…" Aileen glanced at him.

"What?!" Licht was startled, but his expression turned serious in a sudden before he looked at Aileen with a grim expression.

…

They were not the only ones troubled. As soon as he returned, Alex was hit by a gloomy atmosphere.

The spirits seemed to have gathered in their base, and Nelson had returned to the base.

Even a fool would know that something happened and it was something big. Anya furrowed her eyebrows and asked. "What happened?"

Nelson gave her a paper for her to read.

Anya grabbed it with a serious expression and sensed Alex coming closer to read it together. Their expression turned grim when they arrived at the important part.

"Are you serious?" Alex opened his mouth in surprise.

"Yes. Because it was very close to the center of this continent, Freedom Sect was the one to be affected first." Nelson nodded.

"How about the other influences?"

"They are still unaware of this matter. And the Freedom Sect won\'t be able to hold them for long. I believe they are going to inform the other influences, including us at this point."

Alex thought for a moment and asked Anya. "What do you think?"

"This is a matter that might destroy this world."

"Thought so…" Alex pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Master. What happened?" Sherry asked with a worried expression.

"There is a portal that leads to another world. It seemed my previous self had sealed it in the past, but something went wrong with the portal. It is open again. Although the world\'s barrier is still intact, there are still many 10-Star Martial Saint Monsters that will come out of the portal." Alex explained.

"Indeed. If there are that many, we will be screwed." Anya nodded in agreement.

"The location… Is it in the Ancient Ruin?"

"The portal is above the Ancient Ruin, but I think the Ancient Battlefield below them shouldn\'t be affected yet. Still, they are the ones who maintained the seal, so I believe they also try to do something about this." Nelson nodded in agreement.

"What I am going to do now…" Alex thought for a moment and looked at Tasha. "Seeing things turn to be like this, we might need to hold a meeting with all influences to handle this matter. Within that time, I am going to have a talk with those Gods and Goddesses in the Ancient Battlefield."

"But the other influences are still wary against each other. How should we persuade them?" Anya narrowed her eyes.

"We will start with the Blackwade Clan first. I will have the help of Great Elder Aileen to teleport Song Hun and Song Ping to the Ancient Ruin to let them see what happened with their own eyes. If it\'s them, they should believe it and help us."

"I see." Anya nodded and thought. "Then we go to the Drunken Pavilion after that."

"No." Alex shook his head. "We will convince either Ancient Blue Family or Phantasm Sect first." Alex shook his head.

"They? Why?"

"It\'s simple. Elder Manness is not someone who will be easily convinced. Rather than wasting so much time with him, I need to go to the easier targets first. We have some dealings with the Ancient Blue Family. Seeing how this accident will threaten the entire world, I am sure they are going to accept it.

"If Rio and Davi are worth their reputation, they will surely not let the monsters go rampage. Not for the whole world, but for their family, thus my reasoning.

"The same applies to the Phantasm Sect. They are a neutral influence, and I know it. But this war is not against another influence in this world. Instead, we are fighting monsters from another world. They should accept this offer.

"After that, I will go to the Divine Kingdom. Their Elizabeth is a smart one, so I believe she can understand the threats that these monsters bring. The moment a few of us collapse, the world will be ruined, including her kingdom.

"As someone who wants to make her Divine Kingdom be the best unless she is insane to think that she will use these monsters to erase all influences and make her Kingdom stay, she should accept this offer.

"Of course, as the biggest piece to convince them, I am going to have Freedom Sect cooperate with me by lending their Great Elder Aileen."

Anya thought for a moment and nodded. "It seems we can only do this. Besides, we don\'t know how to close the portal."

"That\'s why I am going to the Ancient Battlefield. I have sneaked inside there anyway, so I am glad I did that in the past." Alex smiled before looking at Nelson. "Why do you think the portal is opened now?"

"I don\'t know yet. But I think they sense something weird and force the portal open. As for the details, I am afraid I don\'t know." He shook his head.

Alex looked down and said, "I understand. Go to the Freedom Sect to talk about this. Have them stalled the monsters to their best ability. In return, I will be the one that convinces the other leaders to bring their force to help.

"Within that time, I will sneak inside the Ancient Battlefield to know the cause. And after that, I will meet the other leaders and convince them to participate in this matter. Hopefully, this thing can be repaired."

"Then, what is your mission for us?" Anya asked.

"Firia will do the negotiations for now. Since most of their people, especially their younger generations, have known Firia face to face, I think she will have the most convincing power beside me. Leoz, Jeanne, and Artur will accompany her as a bodyguard.

"Anna will manage our whole schedule while Anya will take care of the detail in each plan. Sherry, Stina, and Kyle will follow me to the Ancient Battlefield for extra protection. Nelson will send all the invitation letters about us coming to negotiate after informing the Freedom Sect.

"The rest of the spirits will stand by in this base with Rose. Make sure that you know everything about the situation and other things before we create a more concrete plan." Alex finished explaining his plan.

"Understood." They nodded.

"That\'s right. We need approximately one or two weeks to convince other influences. If the Freedom Sect can\'t withstand that long, it will be problematic for us. If needed, those who standby here can help them."

"Yes."

"Then, our plan will start now." Alex nodded.

Without saying anything, they proceeded with their own job.

Alex thought for a moment and realized there wasn\'t anyone that transported Nelson.

"I think I will bring you to the Freedom Sect with me and have a small talk with Licht myself." Alex glanced at Nelson.

"Yes. Thank you, Master."

Alex nodded. Sherry, Stina, and Kyle went inside his body, residing in his flame. Seeing this, Alex snapped his finger, creating a Teleportation Array before the two disappeared.

A few minutes later, they arrived within the Freedom Sect, looking at those busy disciples.

Alex grabbed one of them.
