My Infinite Cultivation System

Alex had always dreamed of evolving his Archangel Transformation Talent to an even higher level.

"System, how many grades exist above the Celestial Grade?" he asked curiously.

[Ding! There are only two. The first is the Origin Grade, the highest attainable talent within the Genesis Realm. The second is the Progenitor Grade. Only the Angel of Creation possessed this talent, making him invincible throughout his reign.]

"Progenitor Grade?" Alex’s eyes shone with excitement.

[The Angel of Creation was born as the progenitor of the Angel Race. His bloodline itself granted him the Progenitor Grade Talent.]

Alex remained silent for a moment, but instead of satisfying his curiosity, the answer only raised even more questions.

"If he was truly invincible... then how did he die? Was it the work of a higher-dimensional being?" he asked slowly.

[Ding! Unknown. Even the Progenitor himself did not know who killed him. Before his final breath, he created the system with a single purpose: to uncover the identity of his killer.]

Alex’s expression gradually became solemn.

Now he finally understood why the system existed in the first place.

Someone who stood at the absolute peak of existence had died without even realizing who had struck him. Just how terrifying must that enemy have been?

"Alex, this palace will be your residence from now on."

The principal smiled warmly as he pointed toward the magnificent palace standing before them.

"You should rest today. Tomorrow you can begin attending the first-year classes. The semester started a month ago, so you will naturally be behind the others. I will personally arrange for the teachers to tutor you until you catch up. And do not worry. Your identity will remain an absolute secret."

Alex nodded gratefully before speaking.

"Thank you, Principal. There is one more thing I would like to request. If you permit it, I am willing to evolve the talents of those with Celestial Grade Talents. Of course, I will only accept resources of equal value in return."

He had no intention of appearing suspicious by constantly touching the empire’s greatest geniuses without reason.

This arrangement would benefit everyone involved. They would obtain stronger talents, while he would acquire the enormous resources necessary for his own cultivation.

The principal stared at him in complete silence.

A moment later, tears slowly welled up in the old man’s eyes.

"Alex... thank you. Thank you so much."

His voice trembled with genuine emotion.

"I will never forget this kindness. Rest assured, I will make certain that everyone pays you fairly for your efforts."

The principal had hours wondering how he could persuade Alex to help evolve a few of the empire’s greatest geniuses, especially his own grandson, whose talent had three sealed locks.

Now Alex had volunteered on his own.

Compared to the value of a Celestial Grade evolution, even if Alex demanded half the wealth of their noble families, it would still be a bargain.

Alex simply smiled, nodded politely, and entered the palace.

Watching the palace gates close behind him, the principal immediately took out his communication device.

"Your Majesty, please come to the academy immediately. I have something extremely important to discuss."

...

The following morning, Alex slowly opened his eyes.

As he stepped onto the balcony overlooking the courtyard, he noticed five figures already waiting outside the palace.

Every one of them possessed a Celestial Grade Talent.

Some radiated vast cultivation auras comparable to Grade Five experts, while others concealed their presence completely, just like the principal. Their calm appearances only made them seem even more unfathomable.

"It really was the right decision," Alex muttered quietly.

Outside the palace, the principal stood beside the visitors.

"Your Majesty, are you certain we should continue waiting? So many influential figures have gathered here."

The handsome emperor merely smiled.

"We are here to request his assistance. His ability could elevate my empire above all ten empires. Waiting a little longer is the least we can do. Principal, thank you for informing us before the others."

The principal smiled faintly.

"I am merely repaying an old favor. Before long, the other nine empires will discover everything once their own students evolve their talents. What you choose to do after becoming stronger is entirely your decision."

As a respected member of the Origin Temple, he was obligated to notify every empire equally.

Showing favoritism would only invite the Supreme Pontiff’s displeasure.

...

A few moments later, the palace doors slowly opened.

Alex walked outside and respectfully bowed toward the principal before looking at the guests.

Every pair of eyes immediately fell upon him.

Although each person quietly examined him from head to toe, not a single one released even a trace of pressure. None wished to offend someone whose ability could reshape the future of an empire.

"So... he is the one?" Emperor Shen asked calmly.

The principal nodded.

Without hesitation, Shen Han stepped forward and performed a formal military salute.

"I am Shen Han."

"Young friend, I will be in your care from today onward. Please feel free to request anything you desire. I may not possess much, but I do own a modest little empire."

Alex almost failed to suppress the twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"He is an emperor... and he is calling his empire ’modest’? Every one of these old monsters is an experienced fox," he thought inwardly.

"Your Majesty, it is my honor to assist you."

"As for the payment, simply provide whatever you believe is appropriate. I trust your judgment."

The principal smiled quietly.

Alex had handled the conversation perfectly.

Instead of demanding a specific reward, he had shifted the difficult decision onto the emperor himself.

Soon afterward, the remaining visitors introduced themselves one after another.

There was a powerful duke, the empire’s supreme general, a crown prince, and several other influential figures whose names alone could shake the entire Origin Domain.

"Please come inside."

Alex gestured toward the palace with a smile.

"We can begin immediately."

Everyone entered together.

The instant the doors closed behind them, a powerful barrier silently enveloped the entire palace, isolating it completely from the outside world.

...

One month later...

[Ding! You have accumulated one hundred Celestial Grade Talents. They are now eligible for evolution.]

A satisfied smile spread across Alex’s face.

During the past month, he had scarcely rested.

Beginning with the academy’s fifty-three students, he had gradually evolved the talents of countless experts, nobles, and prodigies from all ten empires.

His name had spread across the entire Origin Domain’s ruling powers like wildfire.

"Thank you, Sir Alex Moriarty."

The last man bowed deeply before respectfully leaving the palace.

By now, Alex had become one of the most prestigious and respected individuals within the entire Origin Domain.

Not because of his cultivation...

But because of the miraculous ability only he possessed.

"Sir Alex."

A middle-aged man dressed in spotless white robes entered the hall with an apologetic expression.

"The Supreme Pontiff originally wished to meet you personally, but an urgent matter has occupied his attention. He deeply regrets being unable to come."

"I have also brought the list of treasures stored within the Origin Temple’s treasury. If there is anything you desire, please choose freely."

Alex smiled politely.

"Lord Arahan, there is no need to apologize."

"I am already honored that the Supreme Pontiff holds me in such high regard."

He paused briefly before continuing.

"As for the reward... there is indeed something I would like."

Arahan’s eyes brightened with curiosity.

"Oh? What is it?"

"I want information."

Alex’s gaze became serious.

"I wish to know everything about the Genesis Realm. The strongest factions, the most dangerous forbidden lands, resource-rich regions, ancient holy sites, hidden inheritances, and any classified records unavailable to ordinary people."

Arahan slowly nodded.

Information was indeed a priceless treasure.

The knowledge Alex sought was far beyond anything the public could access. Even within the Origin Temple, such intelligence was considered a top-tier strategic resource.

"Very well."

"It will take some time to gather everything."

After speaking, Arahan respectfully departed.

The hall gradually became silent once more.

Alex slowly closed his eyes before speaking inwardly.

"System... I want to travel to the next world."

[Ding! The next world is of extraordinary importance to you. It is the true origin of your soul. Furthermore, the Origin Weapon of the Angel of Creation remains hidden within that world. You must locate it and bind it as your own. In addition, your soul carries an unresolved grudge there. You must settle that karma before proceeding further.]

Alex’s heartbeat suddenly quickened.

A strange sense of familiarity surfaced deep within his soul.

"Am I... returning to Earth?"

[Yes.]
