System: Replicating The Heavens

Alex didn't know anything about the Four Direction Purgatory Dungeon, so he asked Lucia about it.

Lucia told Alex that the Four Direction Purgatory Dungeon is not a dungeon like its name says, it is actually a treasure with a vast independent world inside it. [Ref. Ch - 311.]

According to the information Asna had obtained, the Four Direction Purgatory Dungeon was renowned across the world long before the Valley of Death ever appeared. It was said that the dungeon originated from the most ancient era.

What shocked Alex the most was when Lucia revealed that this treasure wasn't crafted by anyone from the ancient times of the Essence Sky World—it actually fell from the sky, from some far-away unknown place. A rumor had spread during that time, claiming that whoever could control this treasure would gain the power to rule the entire world.

In those days, Spirit Martial Gods and Origin Martial Gods were as common as Holy Lords and Divine Lords, and Life Creation and Death Domination Stage warriors were present in this world as well.

These pieces of information were passed on to Lucia and her grandfather by Asna.

It is said that the interior of the Four Directions Purgatory Dungeon contains a vast world. Countless beasts and creatures that have gone extinct in the outside world for a long time are still alive and well inside that world.

After becoming the master of Four Directions Purgatory Dungeon, a person will naturally become the master of the vast world inside and can command all the beings present. The creatures inside will also treat that person as their only god.

In the end, Alex asked if she had the location of the Four Directions Purgatory Dungeon. Lucia, worried for her daughter, immediately took out a map that was copied from the original one and gave it to Alex.

She didn't hesitate because Alex was clearly far stronger than the entire Heavenly Ice Palace combined. If anyone could find Asna, who had yet to return or send any news, it would be him. The most important reason she trusted Alex was because he wasn't just Asna's cousin, he also loved her deeply, to the extent that he would go to any lengths to save her if she were in danger.

Lucia had seen that kind of unwavering love for Asna in Alex's eyes.

Now that Alex already knew where Asna was, and the map to that place was already in his hand, he asked, "Aunt, Third Elder has been waiting for you for a very long time. Come with me to meet him."

Lucia's heart trembled.

The Third Elder, Aren White, was Asna's father. Lucia had left them not long after giving birth to Asna, but she never returned because of her father. Now, hearing Alex say that Aren had been waiting for her, she couldn't help but look at him with a pleading gaze.

In this moment, this strong woman showed a vulnerable side, a side so fragile that it contrasted starkly with her usual elegant and cold face.

Seeing this, Alex immediately understood the situation. He first examined the old man's information panel. Aside from their Heavenly Ice Body and Bloodline, there was nothing particularly special about either the old man or Lucia Snow.

Finally, Alex spoke, "Grandfather, you shouldn't keep them apart. Aunt has been waiting for the Third Elder, and the Third Elder has been waiting for Aunt for a very long time. Both of them have suffered from this separation. Their love for each other hasn't faded; instead, it has grown even stronger. You shouldn't bear the burden and commit the sin of keeping them apart. Let them reunite."

This time, Alex respectfully addressed the old man.

First, because this man was Asna's grandfather, which made him Alex's grandfather as well, given the bond between him and Asna. Secondly, the fact that the old man had been preventing Lucia from reuniting with the Third Elder indicated how much Lucia valued her father's opinion and wouldn't defy him.

Thus, Alex sought the old man's permission, ensuring Lucia wouldn't face any psychological burden from going against her father's wishes.

"Sigh!"

Santiago Snow, the current master of the Heavenly Ice Palace, sighed deeply and said, "I always believed that man is not worthy of my daughter. When I forcefully brought her back, I had no idea she had already given birth to a daughter. It was only a few years ago that I learned about Asna. Thus, I sent a few people to bring her back, not expecting Asna to be so determined to reunite her parents."

Santiago continued, "I promised her that as long as she reached the Divine Lord stage, I would honor her wish and allow that man to come here and be with my daughter. Asna had already become a Divine Lord before she left. Even though she isn't here now, it is time for me to fulfill the promise I made to her."

"Father..." Lucia tearfully looked at her father and then Alex, expressing her gratitude.

Alex didn't stay in the Heavenly Ice Palace for long. Now that everything he needed to do here was done, he left the palace with Lucia, leading her to the Three Cultivation Land.

.....

╠ Three Cultivation Land ╣

_Red Leaf Country, Jade City_

The White Family was prospering more than ever before under the protection of Floating Cloud Academy. Not to mention, Alex had also left behind a large number of resources for the White Family before he left for the True Essence Sky World.

With all those resources, the White Family continued to become stronger and stronger, with their influence now spanning across the entire Red Leaf Country.

Although the White Family still had not produced a powerful warrior yet, no one dared to touch them. Known for their vast resources, the White Family now held one of the highest positions in Red Leaf Country.

Alex returned to the Jade City with Aurelius, Lucia, and a few Divine Lords who served Lucia faithfully. They didn't even take one minute to arrive in front of the huge White Family Estate. Guards were protecting the entrance of the family.

Surprisingly, these guards alone were Enlightenment Stage Warriors.

It has to be known that the strongest in the entire White Family was only Level 1 Enlightenment Stage Warriors a few years ago. Only Aren White, the Third Elder of the White Family and Alex's father-in-law was a Level 2 Golden Core Stage warrior.

It is very obvious how the White Family flourished after Alex left a lot of resources for the White Family back then.

Neither Alex, Lucia, nor the others had any intention of being stopped by the guards, who were likely to fail to recognize them. They deliberately concealed their presence, making it impossible for the guards to sense them. With ease, they bypassed the guards and entered the estate by flying unnoticed.

In front of experts like them, this grand estate was actually a very small place. No one can hide from their eyes. They soon located a figure and arrived in a large grassland.

A small pavilion could be seen at the end of the grassland where a middle-aged man dressed in white was sitting comfortably.

This middle-aged man was Aren White.

Alex was surprised to see that Aren was now already a Heavenly Completion Stage warrior.

In only a few years, Aren has improved so much. Maybe the majority can be attributed to Alex's resources, but Aren's own hard work and talent could not be ignored.

Tears filled Lucia's eyes when she saw this man.

They directly descended in front of him, surprising Aren. But then, his eyes widened in shock upon seeing Lucia right in front of him.

"Third Elder," Alex greeted Aren with a smile.

"You little... Haha, all of you are back!"

Aren felt emotional at this moment. He couldn't help laughing loudly and asked everyone to sit. The pavilion was big enough to have space and seats for several people to comfortably sit and talk.

"Has Asna not come?"

When he asked about Asna, Lucia's face turned slightly pale. Alex was also taken aback a little, but then he left this question for Lucia to explain.

He subtly shifted the conversation, inquiring about the well-being of Aren and others in the White Family, before standing up to leave.

Alex had no intention of meeting anyone from the White Family. His focus was set on heading directly to the Four Direction Purgatory Dungeon to search for Asna. He had already discussed this with Lucia, and since it concerned her daughter, she didn't hesitate to agree with his plan.

Aren did suggest that Alex greet the Family Head at least, but Alex declined. His parents in this world had already passed away, and he felt little attachment to the White Family. There was no point in seeing anyone.

Talking about his parents, Alex couldn't help but recall Heavenly Spirit Stone's words. His mother in the Essence Sky World was only a clone born from a drop of origin Ice Elf Empress's Soul Origin.
