System: Replicating The Heavens

Alex took a deep breath. It turned out that he was unable to see through Atticus because of him being sealed here. If Atticus was not sealed, his system could have seen through his attribute panel as well.

"What is my second trial?" Alex asked.

Atticus raised his brows and spoke: "Umm... Aren't you quite in a hurry?"

After that, Atticus didn't wait for Alex to say anything. Instead, he asked: "You have already cultivated the First Layer of Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation. Do you have any questions you want to ask?"

Alex immediately realized that he had actually forgotten to ask an important thing related to the cultivation technique he was cultivating.

Nodding his head, Alex immediately said: "Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation has a total of Nine Layers. Each layer has its own transformation. It means, every time a martial warrior cultivates a Layer of Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation to the peak, he or she has to go through some kind of transformation."

"However, why did this transformation not happen to me? Why was I unable to start and complete my first transformation even though I have already cultivated the First Layer of Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation to perfection?" fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

Atticus nodded and smiled. Then he said: "I have already told you that, although I am the creator of Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation, I did not cultivate it."

Seeing Alex nodding his head, he asked: "Do you know why I did not cultivate it?"

Alex nodded and replied: "The last time I came here, you told me that you could not cultivate this technique because it has some requirements. A person could only cultivate the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation from the very start. Otherwise, if a powerful person cultivated it, they would have to transform all their spirit energy into Chaos Energy. At that time, their cultivation base will regress a lot and they will become very weak."

"And, you also told me that you wanted to cultivate this technique even if you have to pay that kind of price, however, you were unable to cultivate it. Because even before you wanted to start cultivating the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation, you were attacked and forced to be sealed here."

Atticus nodded upon hearing Alex's answer. Then he spoke: "Yes. It is just what you said. "But... This is not the only reason. I sent only a strand of Chaos Energy into your body before you started cultivating the First Layer of Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation. It is because I only had that one strange of Chaos Energy in my possession and you were very weak at that time. That strand of Chaos Energy was enough to help the amount of Spirit Energy transform into Chaos Energy and support your cultivation of the First Layer of Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation."

"However, I was the strongest person in the entire universe back then. The amount of Chaos Energy I needed was not just a strand, but a lot. And that amount of Chaos Energy was not in my possession, and I could not find them anywhere."

"This was another reason why I was unable to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation even though I am the original creator!"

Alex frowned when he heard this. This time, he did not believe Atticus. It is because, if what Atticus told him is the truth, then what about the dense Chaos Energy that surged out when he entered the Stairway To Chaos and arrived at this place?

Atticus seemed to read Alex's thoughts. He laughed and said: "You are thinking about the Chaos Energy that surged out when you arrived here, right?"

Alex did not respond this time. He kept a straight face and waited for an answer.

Atticus replied: "I told you before that as long as you help me escape the seal and regain my freedom, I will accept you as my disciple. I definitely won't lie to you."

"The reason for the appearance of Chaos Energy here is actually you!"

"Me?" Alex was shocked. For the first time, his expression changed. He revealed a startled expression on his face.

Atticus nodded and said: "Yes, you!"

"Looks like your observation skill is very weak. Look at the patterns carved on the walls!" 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

Alex did as he was told and was surprised to see the entire wall of the room carved with strange patterns. These patterns seemed very distinct and different from each other, however, there also seemed to be some kind of connection between them that kept them holding and connecting with each other, making an extremely mysterious formation.

Alex tried to use the system but appeared in front of him was... Nothing!

It means, according to the system, there was no treasure here at all.

The system could only analyze treasures and open their complete attributes in front of him so that he could choose the treasures and replicate them.

But the system did not prompt this time. It means these patterns on the wall were not treasures. Or it should be right to call that the system does not consider these patterns as treasures.

"What are those patterns?" Alex asked carefully.

Atticus laughed and replied: "These patterns are very mysterious, right?"

"They are actually related to the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation. You can say that these patterns together formed a formation that could give birth to Chaos Energy as long as someone cultivates this cultivation technique."

"I created these patterns along when I was creating the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation. Do you know why?"

Alex shook his head. How would he know why Atticus created something like this?

"It is because each transformation of Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation needs a large amount of Chaos Energy!" Atticus replied.

As if a spark suddenly run through his brain, Alex seemed to have realized something incredible. He raised his head and looked at Atticus in astonishment.

"Looking at your surprised face, it seems you have already guessed it!" Atticus laughed and spoke.

Then he continued to say: "Yes, as you have guessed. These Chaos Energy could help you complete your transformation."

"As you know, when you are cultivating the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation, you are not actually absorbing Chaos Energy from the outside like people absorb Spirit Energy, you are actually making them, giving birth to them."

"Cultivating the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation, you are actually transforming all kinds of other energies into Chaos Energy. There is no Chaos Energy in any world in the entire Universe. Some strands of Chaos Energy appear sometimes somewhere in the void, but finding them and obtaining them is extremely impossible."

"If cultivating the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation relied on absorbing the Chaos Energy, then you could have never cultivated it to perfection. Your cultivation base would never have increased so much in such a short period of time."

Alex nodded in response this time. He has cultivated the First Layer of Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation and knew this fact very well. He never absorbed the Chaos Energy but transformed all kinds of other energies gained from swallowing pills and other treasures into Chaos Energy. And when there is nothing to swallow, he first absorbed the Spirit Energy before transforming them into Chaos Energy with the help of Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation.

What Atticus was telling was really the truth. There was no lie in his words.

Atticus continued: "There are nine transformations in the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation, and each transformation requires a large amount of Chaos Energy. But this large amount of Chaos Energy has to support a person in his transformation from outside."

"However, since there is no Chaos Energy in the entire Universe, where could we find such a large amount of Chaos Energy?"

Alex had an answer to this question. He turned his head to look at those strange patterns on the walls of the stone room.

Atticus nodded and said in a soft voice: "Thus, I started thinking of its solution and created these patterns that completely complement the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation and are connected to this technique in essence."

"These formations patterns together form a very special formation, that is actually not a formation. In fact, it is, but at the same time, it is not."

"I cannot define what kind of existence these patterns actually are. Just know that they together form a formation that responds to whenever a person circulates any Layer of Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation."

"Since their essence is the same as the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation, whenever the amount of Chaos Energy increases in your body, these patterns give birth to the same amount of Chaos Energy. It is like... It is like..."

"It is like replicating the Chaos Energy itself!" Alex said in a low voice.

Who could understand more about replication than Alex?

He is someone born with an innate ability that could replicate any sort of treasure.

And this innate ability later somehow became a system that was reborn along with his soul in this universe. Replication was in his soul. He clearly understood what Atticus was trying to say.

"Exactly!" Atticus smiled and nodded, saying: "It is like replicating the Chaos Energy itself!"
