System: Replicating The Heavens

[Replication Successful. Congratulations to the Originator for successfully replicating the half-awakened Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline!]

Without wasting his time, Alex immediately tried to replicate the bloodline, but he did not expect the always in-second responding System to respond dozens of seconds later, and when he successfully replicated the bloodline, he felt his soul suddenly being sucked dry, as if there was not a trace of soul force left.

His head suddenly became dizzy, and he fell down, unconscious.

After that, Alex has no idea what happened, but when he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a luxurious bed inside a room.

Alex was surprised. He first observed his body and found everything normal.

"Why did I faint?" Alex muttered. He clearly remembered that he fainted right after successfully replicating the Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline.

Why is that?

Alex could only come up with a single reason.

The grade of Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline must be extremely high. If it is not for the fact that the bloodline is only half awakened, Alex would not have been able to replicate this bloodline in the first place.

Even though he successfully replicated this bloodline, the replication process consumed every single bit of his soul force, causing him to fall unconscious.

It has to be known that Alex's soul constantly evolved by more than 8% after going through three nirvanas. It increased his soul force by many times. But even so, he fainted.

"Then... How long was I unconscious?"

Alex knew very well that any recovery related to souls takes a lot of time. He could regain his consciousness only after recovering his soul force, and it must have taken him a long, very long time to recover his soul force.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. He knew someone was coming.

He did not have to wait for long. Olav and Serena soon entered the room.

"Oh, you have woken up!" Serena spoke nonchalantly, without any expression on her face.

Alex nodded, looking at Olav with a confused expression. He also observed that Olav was hiding his cultivation very deeply. If it is not for the fact that Alex already knew about his improvement and had a System's help, even he would have been deceived by Olav.

Olav explained: "Actually, I found you unconscious by the swamp's side after you helped me awaken my bloodline. So I brought you to the Lightfoot Family. And because I had no idea why you were unconscious and no one was able to tell the reason, I had no choice but to go to my cousin and ask. She just looked at you and said that you have somehow overused your soul force, causing you to suffer a backlash. She feed you a pill and you woke up just in time. The auction will be held three days later."

Alex was surprised to hear Olav mention his bloodline in front of Serena without hesitation. It could only mean either Olav told Serena everything that happened or Serena was able to see through Olav as well.

After all, she was able to see through Alex immediately. It'll really not be surprising for her to be able to see through Olav as well.

Second, Alex was shocked to learn that only three days are left before the auction. It means he has been unconscious for about two months already.

Damn!

As expected, overusing Soul Force is not good at all.

However, it doesn't really matter much.

What surprised Alex more was that Serena was even able to see that he had overused his Soul Force.

This was really...

Sigh!

Alex had no words to explain his emotions. He simply took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.

After checking on Alex, Serena left without saying a second word. But she did take a deep look at Alex before leaving.

After she left, Alex asked: "Olav, can you tell me what exactly happened? And how did Serena know about your bloodline's awakening? Did you tell her?"

"No!" Olav shook his head and denied it. He said: "Even though Serena is my cousin, no one knows her at all. She is very mysterious. You know what, after awakening my bloodline, I became a Perfection-leveled Divine Emperor. My strength increased by leaps and bounds. Now, even in the entire Essence Sky World, I am one of the strongest warriors. As long as I don't will, no one can see through my cultivation. However, Serena was able to not only see through my cultivation, she even said like... "Oh, so you have awakened your bloodline. I didn't expect to awaken this bloodline so quickly. It means someone must have helped you. Otherwise, your bloodline would have only awakened after you become an Extreme-leveled Divine Emperor." I was so shocked that I can't explain."

"Moreover, even with my current strength, I am unable to see through her. I tried to fight her, but she said that I am not her match. Not to imagine fighting her, otherwise, I'll be bedridden for who knows how long."

"Even though I was warned, I still tried. But she was actually defeated without even lifting a finger. Even with my cultivation at the Perfection Level of the Divine Emperor Stage, I have no idea how she attacked and defeated me. It is shocking!"

"Anyway, I was really shocked to learn that she actually knew about me possessing the Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline all this time. She even knew I would have naturally awakened this bloodline after becoming an Extreme-leveled Divine Emperor if someone had not helped me. Isn't it amazing? She really is too mysterious!"

The more Olav said, the more shocked he became. And even Alex was astonished to the extreme.

It could not be helped. Serena was really someone no one could understand. Even Alex, with his system, was unable to understand anything about Serena.

And this is the first time something like this happened.

"How come I am in the Lightfoot Family? Didn't Roald try to stop or make things difficult for you?" Alex again asked.

"Hehehe!" Olav laughed and said: "Do you think I am afraid of anyone in the Lightfoot Family now? My strength is enough to even make the Heavenly Ice Palace treat me with the highest level of respect. How could I be afraid of a mere Lightfoot Family?"

"You are a Lightfoot as well!" Alex blinked and spoke.

"Cough! Cough!" Olav coughed and explained: "Anyway, they did try to come after me and you, but I did not have to do anything. Because my cousin, Serena, arrived at that time and only said one sentence, 'HE WILL STAY HERE UNTIL HE WAKES UP, NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO MAKE THINGS DIFFICULT FOR HIM'. And then, no one really dared to come after you, not even her father, the head of the Lightfoot Family."

"It has to be said that even as his brother, Roald did not dare to say a single word to retort Serena. Hahaha, that was quite a scene!"

After that, Alex and Olav talked for a long.

.....

Three days later, the day of the auction...

Celestial Treasures Pavilion is the place where the largest auction of all time was going to be held.

As they conversed, Alex and Olav arrived at the Celestial Treasures Pavilion.

Right when they had just arrived, they saw a young man approach them and say, "Hey, Olav. Long time no see!"

"Ceres Sorenson?"

Olav spoke with a cold expression, but he soon controlled his emotions and the coldness on his face disappeared.

A thought flashed through Alex's head when he heard this name. He knew that there are three major families in the Heavenly Ice City. They are Lightfoot Family, Sorenson Family, and the Monnot Family. This man called Ceres Sorenson was from the Sorenson Family, and it seems the relationship between him and Olav was not that good.

Alex turned to look at this young man. Ceres was average in terms of looks and was quite tall and slender. He should have just stepped into the Extreme-Level of the Holy Lord Stage as his aura was still not very stable.

Ceres also seemed to be not here for Olav but for Alex, as he directly ignored Olav and look at Alex and said, "Alex White, we have finally met."

Looks like Ceres Sorenson was deliberately waiting for him here. As for why, Alex has no idea. But he soon gets to know when Olav sent a sound transmission in his mind, telling him that Ceres and Roald are best friends.

Alex immediately understood that Ceres was there to cause trouble for him.

"Ceres Sorenson, what do you want?"

However, before Alex could say anything, Serena appeared behind him. She coldly asked.

A stunned and envious expression appeared on Ceres Sorenson's face. Serena and Asna were known as the Twin Pearls of the Heavenly Ice Domain, and the number of men that were interested in them was enough to surround the whole domain a few times. He himself was also one of the admirers.
