System: Replicating The Heavens

Three days later, Alex along with others was teleported out of the small part of Valley Of Death. They appeared outside the cave where many people were already waiting for them.

After everyone came out, Alex realized that Cleo Vidar, the person sent by Star Seeking Tower, never told anyone how he'll decide the result of this competition. He only sent everyone inside and told them to do their best.

He came to the Wasteland to choose a hundred geniuses and bring them back to the Star Seeking Tower. However, the question was, how will he choose the geniuses? He sent everyone inside the small part of Valley Of Death for competition. Inside, many geniuses died but even so, more than five hundred people returned alive.

Without any doubt, everyone's strength was greater than before they entered the Valley Of Death.

After everyone came out, Cleo smiled and said: "Looks like it is time to decide who are the geniuses that'll come with me to the Middle Land and enter my Star Seeking Tower."

After saying this, Cleo took out a transparent pearl-like object. This transparent pearl was about the size of an adult's fist. This pearl seemed to have water inside, it was three-fourths filled with water and only one-fourth of the space inside was empty.

Cleo injected his spirit energy inside the Transparent Pearl, causing it to shimmer with luminescence. A mysterious force suddenly made the pearl float in the air on its own as it started sparkling with brilliant light.

At this time, Cleo again said: "Previously, I didn't tell anyone how I'll choose those hundred people who'll be able to go to the Middle Land. I'll tell everyone now!"

Saying this, Cleo paused for a moment and observed everyone's expression. He saw many different expressions on everyone's faces. Some were happy and some had hope in their hearts that was reflected on their faces. Some people were worried deep down their hearts, fearing they might not be chosen as one of the people going to the Middle Land. And there was also a group of people who might already know they'll not be chosen, so even though they were sad, their faces still showed an expression of expectation on their faces.

This expectation was not for themselves, they wanted to see who will be chosen and had a few guesses in their hearts. They were just waiting for the names to be announced.

Cleo started saying once again: "That pearl you are seeing right now, it is not an ordinary pearl, instead, it is a treasure. Before you all entered the small part of the Valley Of Death, this pearl had already scanned your cultivation base, your foundation, and your control over your own strength."

"And now, it'll once again scan all of you and compare your previous result. The top hundred people with the highest progress will be chosen to go to the Middle Lands. Are you all ready?"

The moment Cleo said the above words, the crowd broke into an uproar. They started conversing with stunned faces, completely showing how surprised they have become. If what Cleo said is the truth, doesn't it mean even if they have the lowest cultivation base, as long as their improvement inside the Valley Of Death is good enough to rank in the top 100, they can go to the Middle Land?

"Be quiet" Looking at the noisy crowd, Cleo once again said: "I'll now start selecting the chosen ones."

The brilliant light coming out from the pearl suddenly started passing everyone's body like a scanning light. It only stopped on a person's body for about one second before jumping to scan the next person. just like this, in less than ten minutes of time, all the geniuses were scanned by the pearl. Then a piece of information was transmitted into Cleo's mind, for he is the master of the Transparent Pearl. After that, the sparkling light on the pearl vanished and the pearl returned to its previous state. It is just that the water inside this pearl seemed to have decreased by a certain level.

Taking a deep breath, Cleo started calling the names of people selected by the pearl. Alex was of course chosen, for there is no one who could rival him in terms of cultivation, foundation, and strength among these more than five hundred people.

Two small white snakes were currently wrapped around his arms. These snakes were actually the pair of mother and child Light Devouring Beasts.

Previously, after Alex went through every single treasure in his attribute panel, he was suddenly attracted by the hissing sound. He raised his head and saw two small Light Devouring Beasts floating in midair. One of them suddenly enlarged and stared at Alex.

When Alex saw the Mother Light Devouring Beast staring at him deeply, Alex got goosebumps and subconsciously retreated back. Then he suddenly remembered about the unique skill; Godfiend Awakening that could directly increase his cultivation by three major realms.

It means if Alex used this skill with his current strength, his cultivation will be raised to Crystal Transformation Stage Level 9 directly. Of course, the increase in cultivation will not be permanent.

Although the price to pay for using this skill is very harsh, to the extent that Alex doesn't want to use it no matter what. However, if the situation is not in his favor, he'll definitely not hesitate to use this unique skill.

The Mother Light Devouring Beast is a Martial Emperor Stage demonic beast. Alex believed, with his cultivation at the Crystal Transformation Stage Level 9, he could at least escape alive under the attacks of this Light Devouring Beast.

Fortunately, nothing like that happened. Alex saw Light Devouring Beast hissing twice before shrinking to the size of its child. At the same time, a female's voice echoed in Alex's mind: "You've become the master of my child. I can't undo the soul contract you've signed with my child using your blood and chaos energy, however, I can kill you and release my child from the restriction of the contract."

Alex became nervous when he heard this voice. He understood it was Mother Light Devouring Beast talking to him through telepathy. Although he was shocked to see the snake's ability, he still quickly accepted this face. After all, this pair of Light Devouring Beasts are too bizarre for being demonic beasts.

What astonished him the most was the fact that this beast actually knew about Chaos Energy.

Alex was nervous in his heart, but to his surprise, Mother Light Devouring Beast once again spoke in Alex's mind: "There is another option though. I can't leave my child's side. So, I'll follow you and you've to feed us both with your Chaos Energy at least once a week. You choose what you want to do. Would you accept my condition or would you like to fight me?"

Alex took a deep breath and immediately knew what to choose. Although he didn't expect the part where he has to feed both mother and daughter with his Chaos Energy at least once a week, thinking about the time when the little Light Devouring Beast sucked dry his Chaos Energy, Alex didn't find it strange. He immediately chose the second option.

Anyway, a Martial Emperor Stage demonic beast wanted to follow him, how could he have any sort of rejection in his heart. If he ever fell in danger that he couldn't deal with his cultivation stage, he could always take the help of this demonic beast.

And at that time, even if not for him, at least for its child, the Mother Light Devouring Beast will definitely take action and save him. And because of that, he'll not have to use the Godfiend Awakening.

Though, he wanted to use this skill at least one time and see what kind of prowess he'll be bestowed with!

It was at that moment that time started once again. The people were running for their lives, the entire scene was in an uproar, the illusion was broken as the city disappeared, revealing a barren land, and many such other things happened. And three days later, everyone was teleported out of the Valley Of Death.

Coming back to the point, now both mother and child Light Devouring Beasts are following him.

Alex stepped forward and arrived at the right side of Cleo where more than a dozen people had already lined up. Very soon, a total of 100 geniuses were chosen.

After choosing the 100 people, Cleo smiled and arrived in front of the 100 people before giving everyone a token with a star pattern embedded in it. These were tokens that represent those 100 people who would go to the Middle Land with Cleo.

Cleo revealed a look of surprise when he was giving a Star token to Alex. It is because he had seen Alex before. And at that time, Alex was only a Golden Core Stage martial warrior. He didn't expect Alex to become a Spirit Origin Stage Level 9 martial warrior after coming out of the cave leading to a small part of Valley Of Death.
