"Hmm… that's unfortunate."
As seconds passed, Alex beca aware that he simply had no thod of testing whether what he had done would be a success or not.
The mory he had seen of the man who did these experints first told him that in the book he had read about these experints, this was how he would succeed.
Only Alex wanted more than just mories from a mory. He wanted factual evidence this would work, but it appeared that it wasn't going to work.
In the end, to figure out if a Spiritual Root transplant worked, he needed to try it out on a living, breathing human being. Only then would the body take in the spiritual root and adapt to it.
Alex was certain to never get a chance to do that, at least not here. He felt horrible even thinking about experinting with living humans. That was horrible and had been why he had killed the previous man who had done it with children.
The only one Alex could do sothing like this would be with his enemies, and there were none of them at the mont.
The only possible person he could do it with was himself in the end, and he already had all 7 roots. There would be no way in hell he would ever experint on himself, even if he physically could, to transplant another root on himself.
This experint had now hit a dead end. There was no moving forward without using morally questionable ans.
Alex still finished what he started. The experience of placing the ridians and spiritual roots into another body, albeit a dead one, was still quite valuable. It was useful knowledge to use later if the need ever arises.
After finishing his experintation, Alex tore away all the Spiritual roots from the person, storing them in an ice-filled container, along with all the rest of the spiritual roots he had taken before.
He wasn't sure if he would ever need them, but if he did, he would have the ones right here. Hopefully, because he had taken them out just minutes after the person's death, they would all still be working when he needed them.
Alex burned the rest of the corpse, taking out two urns of ashes to hand over to the people who had brought them. Then, after so deliberation, he decided to stop experinting on people.
Alex made an announcent that he would stop taking dying n and won now. The ones that were there were returned back to their family, to spend the last of their days with them.
Once that matter was settled, Alex went to his family to spend what few days there were.
Hannah arrived in the Southern Continent a few weeks later, along with Long Huan, as a complete surprise to most of them.
Alex was one of the people surprised at her appearance. But sohow Helen, Liz, and Ronron seed to not be surprised at all. They even seed to be expecting it.
"I thought you had more ti before your breakthrough, Sister," Alex said. "Are you done with the matters in the Eastern Continent? Are you going to try and break through now?"
Hannah chuckled when she heard that. Helen and Liz laughed too, letting Alex know sothing secretive was going on between them.
They had been doing sothing that they hadn't thought to let him know. But he had been with them most of the ti, what could it be that they had hidden from him?
"You forgot, didn't you?" Hannah asked with her hands crossed in front of her. "And here I thought you would be excited too."
"What did I forget?" Alex asked. As soon as he did, he rembered sothing and turned toward his mother. "Wait… I thought I said no. I didn't want it."
"Well, I want it, and you can't refuse now," Helen said with a wide smile and turned around. "Alex, co here. Stand by him."
She pulled the older Alex away, placing him next to Alex as they stood side by side, the sa person in two ages.
Sothing exploded and confetti fell all over the two Alex.
"Happy 100th birthday!!"
"Happy 100th birthday!!"
"Hurray!!"
Birthday wishes and celebratory cheers ca from all around the two Alex, letting them know what day it was. Neither of the two had rembered it at all, nor had they made any plans for it.
They didn't even know what date it was this ti around when compared to the Central Continent. The two places didn't share the sa calendar, so figuring out their birthday was a nearly impossible task.
Alex didn't want to celebrate a birthday like Hannah did, where the entire continent celebrated with her. However, just her friends and family were more than welco.
"Happy birthday, Alex!" Wen Cheng, Luo i, and the rest ca around to celebrate his birthday.
"Happy birthday… Master," Scarlet said, teasing him.
"Brother, Happy Birthday!"
Pearl and Whisker were more than happy to celebrate Alex's birthday.
Bai Jingshen and his wives, Hao Ya, the elders, and many others ca to his birthday celebration that lasted the entire night.
Not many knew of this party, not even inside the palace itself. However, those who knew it celebrated it to the fullest throughout the whole night.
Alex's 100th birthday was a night to rember.
Only, Alex knew it wasn't his 100th birthday, but rather his 97th. Because of the 3 years he spent inside the Demon realm, he wasn't the age everyone thought he was.
But of course, there was no point in revealing this information, and technically he had been born 100 years ago, so it was all the sa in the end.
Once the celebration ended, Hannah and Long Huan returned to the Eastern Continent for one last ti.
There was a small matter of passing the throne to Long Hanjue, and Hannah would be able to break through imdiately.
"When I return, we will imdiately leave," Hannah told everyone before she left. It seed she did not plan on staying behind for too long as an Immortal.
She was going to beco an Immortal and leave right away.
Long Hanjue's ascension hadn't been officially done, but unofficially, he was now the emperor.
For the past 15 years, Long Huan had been helping his younger brother learn as much about ruling as he could, so all he could do now was trust that his brother would beco a good Emperor.
As Hannah and Long Huan made their own preparation, Alex's family did the sa as well. It was about ti they were going to leave, so they began spending their final days together, saying their goodbyes to the ones that would be separated from them.
They were going to leave imdiately, so they didn't have much ti together.
Hannah ca back and let them all know that she was now ready to break through. That was the final thing remaining before they all left this world.
Everyone, human and beast, followed Hannah all the way to a remote island south of the Southern Continent.
Nearly everyone who was close to anyone had co to watch Hannah's breakthrough.
Hannah took a deep breath and nodded to herself.
"Let's begin."
