A mischievous grin spread across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another woman, student?\" he teased, his tone lighter now. \"Don't let her distract you from your priorities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It would never happen, teacher,\" he replied with a smirk. \"I'm as focused as ever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex didn't expect to get any information or quest from Arceus yet, he just felt like going to the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It did reveal some juicy news to him though: the fact that the [Abyss] was active even at the start of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to leave, heading to the [Double Experience Zone] or even back to the [Tower of Destiny] as he wanted to slay the other [Floor Bosses].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could do anything...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Grand Mage Order is basically a meeting between all Grand Mages, or at least most of them,\" Arceus spoke, answering the very first question Alex asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have complete freedom except for three specific rules, and breaking them would mean facing all other members of the order,\" Arceus sighed, \"Even I wouldn't be able to do that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing a single [Grand Mage] was terrifying, so just imagine having ten of them on you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a High-Rank God would probably succumb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are the rules?\" Alex asked, unable to hide his interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arceus held up a finger. \"Rule one: Never engage in direct conflict with another [Grand Mage]. It keeps the balance intact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second finger followed. \"Rule two: Don't interfere in major world events unless absolutely necessary. We stay in the background, ensuring the natural flow of events.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Arceus raised a third finger, his expression darkening. \"And rule three: Never kill a god.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight of those words hung heavily in the air. Alex frowned, trying to make sense of the last rule. \"Why not?\" Read latest stories on empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have been so much easier if the [Grand Mages] actually did that in Alex's past life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arceus didn't answer immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze to the glowing book on his desk, his expression unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, he finally spoke, his voice low and cryptic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the consequences of such an act would ripple across the entirety of this space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex had more questions, but he knew better than to push.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he'd learned enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever the [Grand Mage Order] was planning, or avoiding, would reveal itself in time as he now had contact with one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could do was prepare for what was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have one last question for you,\" Alex dared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do ask, I'm quite busy right now,\" Arceus didn't look back at him, instead opening up the [Mysterious Book] on his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing about the [Universal Descent Race\u002FBloodline Tournament], Alex couldn't help but dwell on the possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His curiosity got the better of him, especially given the significance of bloodlines in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to participate in that tournament too, but unfortunately, the human race wasn't allowed, meaning that he would need to acquire another one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Angel or Dragon should be the best...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Arceus, still sitting with his staff and mysterious book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher,\" Alex began, his voice measured but inquisitive, \"this [Race\u002FBloodline Tournament] Artemis mentioned… it made me wonder, how does one gain a bloodline like the angel one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arceus raised an eyebrow, studying Alex for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A new bloodline, is it?\" Arceus said, his tone carrying a hint of amusement. \"It's no small thing you're asking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So do you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I do,\" Arceus shrugged, \"But I'm not telling you, find an angel who can teach you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Alex could argue, Arceus pointed his staff at the three humans inside his chamber, and with a simple sway of the staff, all three were teleported out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And don't come back until you found a way to gain that new bloodline you wanted, otherwise I have nothing else to teach you,\" he added at the end, thinking that with his, Alex wouldn't be able to come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[SSS-Level Grand Mage Student Quest #3 has been triggered, \"New Bloodline\"!]\u003C\u002Fp>",1257,"2026-06-03T12:12:47.112Z","2026-06-03T12:12:55.153Z",1,"novelbin.me","dc06c7c0731660cd30eac1c8f75613abadd0b0390ce0487f08f94ca5f1f58efc","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-169","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-167",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fawakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-cover.jpg"]
