System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 54 Ch 54: Strongest In Universe



From that day onward, he started keeping an eye on Alex. He watched Alex grow stronger step by step but very quickly. He also sensed Alex's cultivation talent becoming stronger from time to time. At the same time, he also sensed him awakening many Unique Talents.

He was confused and couldn't understand how Alex was doing all these things. So, he chose to read Alex's fate but failed. It was at that moment when he detected that Alex was not even recognized by the Will Of the Universe, as if Alex was never a person of this Universe.

Thinking carefully for days about so many mysterious things happening to Alex and his powerful soul, he finally comes to a conclusion that the current Alex is actually a reincarnated person and in his previous life, he must be an extremely powerful expert and belonged to another Universe.

He is someone who once stood at the pinnacle of the Universe and knows there are other Universes other than this Universe in the vast nothingness. Although it is a bit surprising, however, it's not impossible for an expert from another universe to enter this universe.

So, as a reincarnated person, it is not a surprising thing for a person's talent to constantly increase and even Unique Talents to appear. However, in Alex's case, things are different. Although he is also a reincarnated person, he has no memories of his past life. Even so, his talent kept increasing from time to time and unique talents kept appearing on his body.

This is something that Atticus couldn't understand even as a person who once stood at the apex of this Universe.

"What do you want from me?" Alex took a deep breath and asked.

Atticus smiled and said, "As I've already told you, you are the key to my freedom and there are many reasons why you are the key. However, I'll not explain anything as I've already told you enough. For now, I just want you to complete the trial you are in. Well, the trial is not without benefits. You've already received Earthly Spirit Milk, however, let me tell you, Earthly Spirit Milk is the lowest and most ordinary reward one can get in the trials of the Stairway To Chaos. After you'll complete the first trial, I'll accept you as my disciple and teach you the greatest technique that has ever appeared in this universe. All you need to do is to cultivate and become strong. Then come here again and take other trials."

"As long as you kept taking the trials and completing them, there'll come a day when you'll be ready to break the seal imprisoning me here."

Alex understood and laughed, saying, "So, all you want is for me to free you from this... whatever this seal is that is imprisoning you here, right? This is also the reason why you'll accept me as your disciple."

Atticus Finch laughed, shook his head, and said, "No, this is not the reason why I want to accept you as my disciple, there is another reason for it. When I was not sealed and was in my prime, experts, who can destroy this world of yours with just a snap of their fingers, begged me to accept them as my disciple and teach them martial arts, however, I never accepted a single disciple till now. Why do you think you, who is not even an ant in my eyes, are qualified to be my disciple?"

"What I want is to just give you the position of being my disciple. In reality, it is an equal exchange. I'll teach you martial arts, give you resources for cultivation, and make you a person strong enough to rule over countless worlds and galaxies. And in return, all you need to do is to break the seal locking me here and free me from this prison."

There was a smile on Alex's face. he lowered his gazes and laughed, chuckling softly.

For some reason, he was not scared of Atticus Finch at all. He also learned many terms such as galaxy and universe. This is the first time he heard these words, however, for some reason, he was not surprised. It was as if he had already heard of these words and knows what they mean in his heart somewhere. All he needs to do is to look into his heart, his true heart!

These are the thoughts that appeared in his mind. He also understood at this moment that there are many mysteries surrounding him like a thick layer of invisible fog. He was living his life inside this fog, however, was unable to see the fog as they are invisible.

Alex took deep breaths. He didn't know how to respond. After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he finally looked into Atticus's eyes, and said, "Okay! I'll continue to take the trial and try my best to pass it. However, you have to promise that you'll teach me the strongest technique of this Universe or whatever you just talked about!"

"Heh!" Atticus chuckled, and nodded his head, replying, "You can rest assured. I'll definitely teach you that technique!"

"Can you tell me what being the strongest technique in the Universe means?"

Atticus was stunned for a moment and realizing something, he muttered, "You don't have the memories of your past life, it is no wonder you don't understand what does anything that has the words 'Strongest in the universe' with its name, means. Being a boy from a small town in this world, it is explainable why you're unaware of it for now."

"Let me tell you, this world of yours is not the only one out there in the endless dark space. There are countless such worlds. In a galaxy, there could be trillions of worlds like this world of yours and there could be more. And in this universe, there are trillions of such galaxies and more. Now, you can imagine, what does 'strongest in Universe' means, right?"

This time, Alex was shocked beyond anything. Although he has expected there to be many worlds, he never expected trillions and more worlds to be in a single galaxy. Not to mention, there are also trillions of such galaxies in this universe.

Alex once again thought of what Atticus told him before. According to Atticus, he might originally belong to another universe, not this one. Then, there might also be many universes out there.

Is that even true?

Alex couldn't think of this anymore, he started to feel dizzy.

Atticus sighed when he saw this and muttered, "Looks like it is still too early for you to know all these things. Anyway, since I've already told you all these things, there is no point mulling over it."

He then said to Alex, "Don't think about these things. You are too weak to care about these things. You should first focus on increasing your cultivation and becoming strong. There are many things you have to do while you are still in this world. And my suggestion for you is to not think about galaxies and the universe while you are still in this world. After all, as long as you are still in this world, you'll be weak enough to not be able to set foot in the vast space out there!"

​ When Alex heard this, he was also reminded of the fact that currently, he is so weak that he couldn't even bring Asna back, there is no point thinking about Galaxies and the Universe.

Nodding his head, he took a deep breath, and said, "I'm ready!"

Atticus understood what Alex was saying. A smile appeared on his face as he said, "Ok, since you are ready to continue the trial, I'll not waste your time anymore!"

Saying this, he waved his hand and a white brilliance suddenly shone, causing Alex to close his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he once again found himself standing in front of the small pond that was filled with Earthly Spirit Milk a while ago.

Alex looked at his surroundings but failed to find anything. He was surprised, at the same time, a look of doubt appeared on his face.

Isn't this a trial?

Why is there nothing here?

Alex took a step forward while still deep in thought, however, he suddenly felt a shocking force of suction coming from his back. Before he could prepare and balance his body, he was sucked inside a crack of space that appeared behind his back out of nowhere.

For the next few minutes, Alex felt that he was falling into an abyss filled with nothing but chill air and darkness. He also felt his head going dizzy, fortunately, he soon felt ground under his feet once again.

Calming his breath, Alex opened his head, however, for a few seconds, all he could see was a blur in front of his eyes. Slowly, the blur started fading and what appeared in front of him was a huge wall whose end was impossible to see, both in height and width.
