"Raise your heads."

The eight disciples immediately obeyed without hesitation.

Alex clasped his hands behind his back as he calmly observed each of them. His expression remained indifferent, but his gaze carried an authority that none of them could resist.

"The God Realm is considered the highest cultivation realm within this world. Across countless civilizations scattered throughout this multiverse, God Realm experts are viewed as supreme existences."

He paused briefly before continuing.

"On this planet, there are only around ten individuals who have reached that level. Even if you consider the entire multiverse, there are fewer than three hundred."

The disciples listened attentively.

Not one of them dared interrupt.

"The existence of a God Realm expert is enough to determine the rise or fall of entire civilizations. Their names are worshipped, feared, and revered by countless races. To ordinary beings, they appear no different from true gods."

Alex’s voice remained calm.

"However, that is merely the limit imposed by this world."

A faint ripple appeared across the disciples’ expressions.

"The God Realm is not true power."

Silence descended over the courtyard.

Although they had suspected this possibility for a long time, hearing those words directly from Alex still shook them deeply. Every hunter, cultivator, and divine being in existence viewed the God Realm as the ultimate destination. Entire civilizations devoted countless generations pursuing that peak.

Yet their teacher dismissed it as though it were nothing special.

"The enemy you will eventually face is a genuine Multiversal existence."

Alex’s gaze became slightly more serious.

"Although his strength is inferior to mine, he remains one of the most dangerous predators within this world."

The atmosphere immediately became heavy.

"If any one of you were to confront him now, you would not survive even a single exchange."

Ren unconsciously clenched his fists.

The remaining disciples exchanged brief glances.

Since becoming Alex’s disciples, they had experienced miracle after miracle. Their confidence had grown tremendously as their strength increased. However, none of them doubted Alex’s words.

If he said they were weak, then they were weak.

No further explanation was necessary.

"Teacher."

Ren stepped forward respectfully.

"What level must we reach before we can assist you?"

A faint smile appeared on Alex’s face.

"That is precisely why I came here."

The moment those words fell, he slowly raised his right hand.

The disciples instinctively focused their attention.

Alex casually waved his hand through empty space.

Reality trembled.

A deep rumbling sound echoed across the palace grounds as the surrounding earth began to shake violently. Vast amounts of spiritual energy surged from every direction, converging toward a single point as though drawn by an invisible force.

The disciples watched in stunned silence.

Before their eyes, a massive structure gradually emerged from the void itself.

Its foundation descended from the heavens while its upper sections remained hidden within swirling clouds. Ancient runes covered every inch of its surface, radiating an aura that seemed to transcend time itself.

The structure continued rising.

Higher.

And higher.

Soon it surpassed every building within the capital city.

Then it exceeded the height of the distant mountains beyond the city’s borders.

Even after reaching such unimaginable proportions, it continued growing until the heavens themselves appeared too small to contain it.

Finally, the process stopped.

An enormous tower stood before them.

Its sheer size was enough to leave even the eight disciples speechless.

They instinctively looked upward.

Despite their enhanced vision, they could barely make out the upper sections hidden among the clouds. An overwhelming pressure radiated from the tower, causing even the surrounding space to distort slightly.

It felt as though a sleeping god resided within.

Ren swallowed hard.

"What is this?"

Alex turned his gaze toward the colossal structure.

"This is your training ground."

The disciples immediately became attentive.

"There are exactly one hundred floors within that tower."

His voice echoed clearly across the courtyard.

"Each floor contains one of my incarnations."

The eyes of the eight disciples widened.

Incarnations?

Alex continued speaking.

"Every incarnation possesses a different level of Multiversal power."

"The first floor contains the weakest incarnation."

"The hundredth floor contains the strongest."

Heavy silence settled across the area.

Even the weakest incarnation of Alex would undoubtedly be a terrifying existence. The mere thought of confronting such an opponent caused their hearts to race.

"Defeat an incarnation and you may proceed to the next floor."

Alex’s expression remained calm.

"If you fail, you will be expelled from the tower and forced to begin the climb again. Furthermore, the incarnations on previously cleared floors will alter their combat methods and fighting styles."

The disciples immediately understood the implication.

The tower would not merely test strength.

It would continuously adapt.

Every challenge would become increasingly difficult.

They once again looked toward the colossal structure standing before them. Their expressions gradually became serious as they realized the magnitude of the trial awaiting them.

Alex observed their reactions quietly.

"Do not underestimate this challenge."

His voice became slightly colder.

"The incarnations within the tower possess the same combat experience, battle instincts, and comprehension abilities that I possessed at their respective levels."

Although he had restricted their cultivation levels, his true battle capabilities remained intact.

Ren’s expression stiffened.

The others felt similar pressure.

No one understood Alex’s terrifying strength better than his disciples. The thought of fighting even weakened versions of him seemed almost impossible.

Alex allowed several moments for the information to settle before continuing.

"If you cannot reach the ninetieth floor, you will be unable to assist me in the coming battle."

Everyone inhaled sharply.

The minimum requirement was the ninetieth floor.

That single statement revealed just how terrifying their future enemy truly was.

Alex slowly looked at each disciple.

His expression remained calm.

"From this moment onward, your sole focus will be cultivation and combat training."

"The opportunity before you is exceedingly rare."

"The incarnations within this tower can teach you more than any scripture, inheritance, treasure, or divine artifact ever could."

His gaze lingered briefly on Ren before moving across the remaining disciples.

"I do not require followers." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"I do not require worshippers."

"What I require are individuals capable of standing beside me."

The words struck their hearts like thunder.

For several moments, none of them spoke.

A powerful determination gradually appeared within their eyes.

They fully understood what this opportunity represented.

Their teacher was personally preparing them for a future battle against a genuine Multiversal existence. Very few beings throughout all creation would ever receive such guidance.

Finally, Ren stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"We will not disappoint you, Teacher."

The remaining seven disciples immediately followed.

"We will not disappoint you, Teacher."

Alex nodded slightly.

Then he vanished.

There were still matters he needed to attend to.

A moment later, he appeared on the hundredth floor of the tower and sat down cross legged.

He had already wasted far too much time.

Before leaving this world, he intended to comprehend every remaining Dao.

The time field of the Secret Domain expanded outward and enveloped the entire floor.

Elsewhere within the secret realm, his other fifty disciples continued cultivating. Alex did not disturb them. Each of them was walking a different path, mastering different powers and developing unique foundations.

He was not simply raising disciples.

He was creating an army.

Alex slowly closed his eyes and entered a state of profound comprehension.

Time began to pass.

Now that his strength had reached the peak of the Megaversal Realm, comprehending the Daos had become vastly easier than before. Concepts that once required centuries of study could now be understood within moments.

Behind him, the Angel of Creation gradually appeared.

Its enormous figure radiated an indescribable aura of majesty.

As centuries passed within the accelerated time field, Alex continued comprehending one Dao after another. Every time a Dao reached completion, a new color spread across a section of the angel’s wings.

The transformation continued endlessly.

Thousands of years passed within the Secret Domain.

The Angel of Creation became increasingly magnificent with each passing century. More colors appeared across its feathers, representing the countless Daos Alex had mastered.

Finally, one year passed in the outside world.

Within the Secret Domain, a thousand years had elapsed.

At that moment, every feather upon the Angel of Creation’s wings had been completely colored.

The once incomplete manifestation had finally reached absolute perfection.

An overwhelming aura erupted from Alex’s body and spread throughout the tower.

The Angel of Creation stood behind him in its completed form, radiating the authority of countless perfected Daos.

At that exact moment, a familiar notification echoed within his mind.

[Ding! You have comprehended all Daos.]

[Ding! You can now utilize the full power of your Martial Soul to travel to the Genesis Realm at any time.]

"Genesis realm huh? Is it the highest realm where The Chaos clan is?", Alex asked softly because he already knew the answer.

[Ding! That’s right.]

He took a deep breath. If he went there now, the powerful enemy who was chasing him, was probably in the genesis realm as well.

Was he ready to go there? But Anna was there. How could he behave like a coward now that he had the way to go there?

" let’s find the treasure first. We will go to the Genesis realm after that."
