Alpha was an artificial intelligence once created by a cultivator who once has reached the limit of power that any cultivation system can give. He created Alpha in order to further breakthrough the unknown realms. Unbelievable amount of rare treasures was used up in the process of its creation. Alpha had many functions it could perform, among of its primitive functions were such abilities as x-ray vision, or zoom in like binoculars, ability to hide the presence and even record and store information any kind information. The most useful function however was its ability to make analysis of the information it records.
The analysis it made would break down the complicated procedures used in any kind of skills or techniques into some basic actions to be performed, and in such a way as long as one was able to perform the actions, he would be able to use the said technique or skill as well.
Currently, Alpha was recording the fights that were taking place in Julius's palace. It was building up its information base at a fast pace throughout the three months and fights like these, where the most elite figters we fighting, were the best way for it to analyse the power structure in this plane and the way the power was used.

Information regarding the inborn spirit monsters was in front of Evan's view. The fights around were about to be concluded, and he was investigating the different skills everyone performed.
He hoped to learn the specifics of the monster energy training system, in order to change his body structure. Currently, his body lost all of its cultivation, his core was gone, his inborn spirit monster was gone, and he should have no way to interact with the monster energy. However, against all logic, his body was accumulating the energy, therefore was expanding through gain of muscles.
Not even Alpha was able to tell why his body was getting bigger with its previous database on the monster energy. Evan tasked it to compile a report on the way the energy bis body accumulated could be manipulated.
{Analysis completed.
Skill description.
Dragon's skill – A fire increases the temperature of the upper layers of the atmosphere. It creates increase in pressure and through fusion process, the atoms join up to create atoms of higher mass, creating the stones. The increased temperature is so high that the rocks seem to be blazing in fire. The passive commanding skill gathers the created rocks back in one place.
Partial Sacrifice skill – converts things of value into karma energy, transfers the energy to the inborn spirit monster, karma reversed monster energy, increasing its power in one aspect for a small amount of time.
Complete sacrifice skill - converts monster energy, live energy and cultivation potential into karma energy, transfers the energy to the inborn spirit monster temporarily increasing its potential and cultivation.}
[Well, I did guess it would be something like this. Alpha, what is the possibility for me getting rid of the monster energy that accumulated in my body through the sacrifice skill!?] – Evan read through the information and saw a hope for his current biggest problem.
{Creating simulation.
Probability calculation.
Calculation completed.
Probability 23%.
List of requirements:
1) Inborn spirit monster in the embryonic form
2) Awaken control of monster energy
3) Transfer monster energy into karma energy
4) Absorb the karma energy
Increase in the possibility with more data available.
Analysis completed}
[Not as difficult as I thought. The last three requirement are already met thanks to alpha, just need to have the inborn spirit monster embryo. According to the information I have, to create the embryo, I would need to separate my soul into two layered spheres and absorb the monster energy fusing it with the inner sphere. When the fusion is completed, it means the official start of cultivation in monster energy system. Increase in the quantity or quality in the inner sphere would mean increase in cultivation for the inborn spirit monster, increase in the outer sphere would mean increase in cultivation of the cultivator himself!] – Evan was happy to know, that there was a way to change his looks. He immediately started to make plans for that to happen.
The fights concluded, Armani and the rest were captured and sent to the devil department in order to get all usefull information from them. Armani would newer commit such an offence without good enough bait. Emperor knew there were people manipulating Armani's actions from the shadows.
However, currently Emperor was not worried about these issues, he was happily chatting with his now mentally recovered son. Emperor wanted to announce for the entire world that his son is well and is still a dragon son that brought to light the traitors that committed national offence, but he didin't since his son Julius asked him to keep it a secret.
It turned out that Julius got some of his memories back, unfortunately was completely unaware of what has happened to him when he was poisoned. Not to mention the fact that he lost all of his cultivation that was on the verge of reaching the upper phase of tribulation stage. A few more years of hard work and it was guaranteed that he would reach the upper phase, because his inborn spirit monster had already reached that cultivation level. A cultivator in the upper phase of tribulation stage that was younger than 30 has never appeared on this continent. Even the extremely rare cultivators who reached immortal stage were not recorded to have such an accomplishment.
His son lost all of his cultivation and would not be able to cultivate again since he lost his inborn spirit monster. When someone loses his inborn spirit monster, his soul gets permanent damage, but gets to keep his cultivation level. In Julius's case his cultivation was lost and his inborn spirit monster is lost, therefore he was to forever stay in this vicious cycle, where he doesn't have cultivation and can't increase in cultivation.
Soon enough however, the Emperor was overjoyed because Julius said that he can cultivate and even can have a new inborn spirit monster. Emperor couldn't believe it, he has never heard of anyone who could have a new inborn spirit monster after he lost one, but then his son was not your average person, he was unique in everything he did. Even that muscle mountain that he built for himself was not your ordinary body. Things like normal swords or spears couldn't deal any damage to it.
Emperor tried hard to not to cry, he couldn't describe how happy he was since his son still had a chance to start his journey in cultivation. Listening to his state he immediately made preparations in his head for him to start his work on his cultivation.
At the moment however, it was time to enjoy his time with his precious sons, hence he called up all four of his sons. Something similar happened about two month's ago when Evan finally got the complete control over Julius's body. Only this time he was not pretending to be mentally retarded and could see how dearly his brothers loved him.
[Damn it was tiring!] – Evan was in his room at the Emperor's palace. Currently he needed to increase his database regarding the cultivation system of the monster energy. Alpha was his best tool in it, currently it could store and analyse the information that would usually take him days to analyse in a matter of minutes. When he increased his fusion with alpha and his current cultivation level, it would be able to it even faster.
[Starting from tomorrow, I am going to become a bookworm for an extended period of time! I hate it but can't do anything about it!] – Evan was not a person who liked to read difficult books about science and cultivation, but sometimes it was the only way to succeed.

Early in the morning when the birds would just start their songs welcoming the morning, a huge door from the entrance a huge building was shut opened with a creaking sound. The building was at least a few dozen square kilometres big and except the initial reception desk area the rest was filled with shelfs upon shelfs of books. The shelfs were a dozen meters high, and it could be imagined how many books have been stored in this library. This was the largest library of the Monster Empire and only people of high status were allowed to enter the library.
Currently, at the reception desk, a red-haired girl that was in her early twenties was reading a huge book that was half a meter thick. She was wearing glasses and looked as an average bookworm girl you would usually see in any library, with the exception of her two huge hills in her chest area. She saw the door started to open and release a creaking sound. She could help but roll her eyes.
"6:30 in the morning and he is again damn here again!" – A hint of anger was visible on the girl's face.
"Britney, your master is here, welcome me, as you promised you would yesterday!" – A shorty muscular mountain instead of body with very averaage face, shouted immediately after he entered through the door.
"Damn, who was forcing me to say such vulgar thing!?" – the girl self mockingly said. Her face was extremely red from the shame that felt from the thing she was about to do.
