BXBX NOVEL Chapter 6: Progenitor
Vessa's ruby-red eyes shone, and then a flood of information started coming into their minds.
This new information made Alex and Mingyue look at each other.
It was knowledge about their worlds and a little background about their lives.
Mingyue came from the Xueqi family, a middle-level cultivation family in her world, and then trained in the Blue Lotus sect.
As for Alex, Mingyue was surprised to learn about his world, filled with technology. A desire started to form in her heart as she wanted to visit his world.
Comparing the entertainment levels between their worlds was like comparing a small mound to a big mountain.
'So, cultivation worlds really existed, not just in novels,' Alex thought.
'Based on the information, the highest cultivation was immortal, but there should be higher levels and higher worlds.
If I could cultivate and utilize the information, wouldn't I be able to increase my family's wealth? Then Mom would stop nagging at me!'
For Alex, his mom's nagging was his worst enemy.
Nothing was worse than that, not even the evil apocalyptic dragon or the weird things happening now.
In fact, Alex felt excited.
He had already grown bored reading the same type of novel with the same repetitive plot or whaling in games.
"As you became closer to being a progenitor, my power would also grow. I would be able to allow you to move between worlds.
For now, my ability only allowed for this kind of meeting or sending small items between your worlds.
Other than this, since both of you shared the same source of power, you should be able to telepathically talk to each other anytime.
The system would also help you use other progenitors' abilities so that you could maximize your growth.
For example, King, with the system, it could help find the most suitable person you needed for a job, as it would constantly detect people's auras around you.
As for Queen, it could help you look for any treasure.
Not only that, when you wanted to practice alchemy or your secret art, I would help calculate the most efficient way to do it."
"So, it was basically the ERX chip function," Alex mumbled.
He then walked closer to Mingyue and extended his hand forward.
"No matter what, our lives were linked now. I would properly introduce myself. I am Alex Campbell, the only son of the Campbell family."
Hearing this, Mingyue frowned. "What only son? You still had a sister."
Alex chuckled, "As you said, she was the only daughter, and I was the only son."
Mingyue felt confused but then understood he was just joking. She shook his hand.
"I was Mingyue. You should already know my family. And honestly, you had a bad sense of humor. Couldn't you see our situation?"
Alex laughed, enjoying the handshake and feeling her soft palm in his.
Without releasing her hand, he said, "You were too serious. There was nothing we could do about our circumstance for now.
Let me be direct then. I wanted a cultivation method. In exchange, I would get you something from my world."
"You should know the cultivation method I used was my family's secret. I couldn't just give it to you like that. Even if I did, we needed to find out your element and talent grade first."
"My Queen, he was the King, not a stranger. And as I said before, both of your bodies had been transformed. Even an All Elemental Heavenly grade talent fell short now compared to his talent.
A half-vampire in Eldonia could easily crush an immortal in your world. And both of you had progenitor blood."
Hearing this, Mingyue's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Wait, you were saying he was even more talented than those heavenly-chosen geniuses because you transformed his body? Didn't that mean it was the same for me?"
"Yes, my Queen. But I suggested you don't tell anyone in your world about it."
Mingyue scoffed, "Vesa, did you think I was stupid? It was dog-eat-dog in the cultivation world. I would only trust my own clan and parents."
"Queen, I knew you wouldn't believe me now, but I meant including them.
When you went back later on with the System, you would be able to feel their intentions toward you. You'll understand later."
Hearing this made Mingyue frown. She still wanted to retort, but Alex interjected, "Just hide it for now, Mingyue. You would lose nothing anyway. So, where did we stand on the cultivation technique?"
"Give me time, Alex. I needed to think about it first. I also needed to consider what I wanted from your world."
"Alright, just tell me after you've decided or if you need anything." He then turned his gaze to Vesa.
"How did we become progenitors? Did we just wait until the blood finished changing our bodies?"
Vesa laughed, "If only it were that easy, King.
Other than the blood both of you received, the progenitor ability was split into many things across many worlds. But don't worry, I know all their locations.
When I felt both of you were strong enough, I would start giving you some quests to take them back."
Vesa's expression suddenly changed to a frown.
"Queen, you should return first. I'd moved you into a forest near the secret realm entrance, and I sensed some movement coming close to you."
"Alright, see you later, Vesa, Alex," Mingyue said as her body turned translucent and then disappeared.
Alex's hand then became grasping nothing but air. He pulled it back and then looked at the pink creature in front of him.
"Vesa, what were the characteristics of the Vampire race? You should know how they were portrayed in my world."
