When Alvin once again opened his eyes, he was standing in a vast and magnificent space. An array of stars flickered and fluttered atop of the sky above him like a group of fireflies that fluttered about in the air. A chilly, silver light that was flowing like waterfall shone gracefully, giving off an unreal feeling.
But what shocked him the most was the man standing in front of him. This man stood at about two meters in height and like Alvin, had deep black shoulder length hair as well as piercing deep blue eyes. He looked like a splitting image of Alvin.
When Alvin saw this man, his heart shook greatly. A feeling that was both unfamiliar and familiar abruptly arose within Alvin's heart when he saw him, and he felt a trace of long lost intimacy. The instinct of this body led him to shed tears the moment he laid eyes on him. This man was Alvin's father, Aldrich Taylor!
"Hello, my Son!" with a bright smile on his face, Aldrich looked at Alvin and said.
"Father!" still weeping, Alvin instinctively lounged at his father. He just couldn't control himself. The love of the former Alvin for his father was so strong that this had been imbued in his very soul. Alvin had somehow inherited this feeling. But when touched his father, his hands went straight through him.
"Illusion?' shocked, Alvin reoriented himself, looked at his father again, and asked in confusion.
"Don't worry Alvin, this is just a wisp of consciousness that I left behind!" still with a smile on his face, Aldrich consoled Alvin.
"Wisp of consciousness? Father, didn't you die ten years ago? Where are you and mom? Are you still alive?" at this time, an intense longing surfaced in Alvin's heart so he asked anxiously!
Actually, Alvin himself was really confounded about the way he was instinctively behaving right now. He didn't realise that in addition to inheriting the memories of Alvin, he inherited this deep love and longing for his parents.
Hearing the Alvin's question, Aldrich's smiling face finally disappeared. He looked seriously at Alvin,
"Listen to me son, I don't have much time left. I am not dead and neither is your mother or grandfather. As for where we are, I can't tell you right now. The fact that you have been able to awaken this katana means that the Fate Stone has finally chosen you as its master. It was the most mysterious items in the primordial era. It changed the fate of numerous gods and devils of the primordial era and helped them to comprehend their own path in the Dao. They peeked into the secrets of the heavens to mastered the profound meaning of the Grand Dao, ascending to the highest summit of the Dao.
It was precisely because of this that every appearance of the Fate Stone was accompanied by slaughter. This slaughter caused upheaval within the three dimensions and disturbed the six paths of reincarnation. That doomsday-like scene of various figures with remarkable ability fighting over the Fate Crystal, just thinking about it sends a chill down one's spine. "
Aldrich's silhouette gradually dimmed down and blurred as he began to speak. It seemed as if it would shatter into pieces in the next moment. Even his voice became hurried. "Son, you must remember that under no circumstances should you tell anyone about this fate stone until you've become formidable enough. If you do, it will bring countless bloodshed on this lower level plane!"
"My time is almost up so you have a chance to ask two questions. Think carefully about what question you would like to ask!"
At this time, Alvin was anxiously trying to suppress the intense feeling he had right now. He came here for a purpose. To determine whether he could become a powerhouse in this world without awakening as an Enhancer or Evolver. So seeing his father who could be described as a powerhouse before his disappearance, he wanted to ask that question.
But finally, he couldn't control himself anymore, "father, can I see you and mom again?"
Aldrich smiled when he heard this question. He replied, "Of course you can! When you become strong enough to break out of the confines of this lower level plane, you will get the chance to see your mother and me again. Until then, you must work hard!"
"Lower level plane? What's that?"
"Is that your last question?"
"No father, I was just curious. My last question is that is it possible for ordinary people to defeat Enhancers?"
When Aldrich heard this question, he looked seriously at Alvin and replied, "It determines on your definition of ordinary people. Theoretically, it is impossible, but there is nothing absolute in this world. To understand the reason behind this, you would first need to understand the strength scaling of Evolvers and enhancers"
After that, Aldrich waved his hand and a white orb appeared in his hand. He then presented it to Alvin, "This is an inheritance crystal which contains information on the power levels of this world as well as the strengthening skill of our family. It will disappear the moment you accept the information so make sure to pay attention when accepting that information. To accept the information, just place it against your forehead."
At this time, Aldrich's silhouette became dimmer and more blurred. "Don't worry about our safety and try to comprehend the strengthening skill in the crystal that I gave you. It will be the key to your survival in this world!"
"Don't worry father, I won't disappoint you!" when he heard Alvin's reply, his silhouette completely shattered and vanished without a trace. The space where Alvin stood also began to shake violently. The last thing Alvin remembered was that a glaring light shone I his eyes and he immediately lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he was lying down on the floor of his father's study. It was as if everything that happened was just a dream. The only thing that showed that what he just experienced was the white orb in his hand.
He clenched it tightly and stood up only to see the sheathed katana still lying on the table. He put the crystal orb way and tried to pick up the katana.
But surprisingly, he realised that he couldn't lifting. No matter how much force he exerted, he couldn't even make it budge. After countless tries and failures, he gave up.
Unfortunately, because of lack of time, he didn't get any information about his sword.
"It seems when I get stronger in the future, I will have to come and try again." With this thought in mind, Alvin sat down on the table and followed his father's instruction on using the inheritance crystal by placing it against his forehead.
The moment he placed it against his forehead, the crystal melted into his forehead and a large amount of information began to flow into his mind. Despite his large soul force which was almost three times the normal adult, he felt as if his mind was about to explode.
He clenched his teeth and held on for about six minutes before the influx of data stopped. The information in his mind was arranged accordingly like files stored on a hard drive.
While resting, he began to browse through this data to find the information he wanted. It took him a minute to finally locate the part that he wanted; the path of Evolution!
