“Yeah. The consequences are going to be very serious. I heard that the car James borrowed belonged to a certain prominent figure. When he returns to the city, James, the driver, and James’ superior will all be sued in the military court.”“What?” Thea was frightened.She could not help but grip harder on James’ hand.Yuna glanced at Luke and sneered in her heart.‘Put the Black Dragon on trial?‘Who has the courage to do so?’James and Thea’s appearance caused a sudden uproar. The Callahans were the laughingstock of Cansington.Lex made a fake invitation to attend the succession ceremony of the Blithe King, while James borrowed a car to pretend to be someone influential.“James, you better not implicate Thea for the crime you committed. Get a divorce from her. You’re not worthy of her at all, ” Luke mocked James.He had a plan in mind.Dating Yuna would not affect his developing a secret relationship with Thea.“Honey, what should we do?” Thea was concerned.She knew it w
Some girls were moved to tears and wished they were Yuna.Yuna smiled.She looked at Luke kneeling on one knee with his hand on his chest. She teased him with a playful expression, “Who gave you the confidence, Luke? In what aspect do you think you’re worthy of me?”“Capability? As far as I know, the Bertrands have some money, but you’re just a spoiled rich kid who inherited the wealth. Even with the connections the Bertrands have, you haven’t made a name for yourself.“Family business? The Bertrands’ assets are not even comparable to a branch of the Lawsons.“So, who gave you the courage? Who gave you the confidence?”Yuna’s voice echoed. Luke was dumbfounded by her reply.‘This isn’t how this is supposed to play out.‘Didn’t you invite my whole class and me to the birthday party because you like me?‘You even waited for me at the entrance.‘W-why are you rejecting me?’ thought Luke.Luke was stunned and continued kneeling on the floor in a daze after being rejected and b
Luke confessed to Yuna but was refused decisively, belittled as nothing.Additionally, she even said that she liked James.Her words came as a surprise to everyone.All eyes were on James.In a high-class event, he dressed very ordinarily in simple clothing and was out of place with those around him.All the women who attended the birthday party were in glamorous dresses.Meanwhile, all the men were in colored suits and ties.Yet, James…He wore a simple black t-shirt and was absorbed in his game, Plants vs. Zombies.Suddenly, a large number of zombies poured into his garden and devoured his pea weapon.“Argh…“I lost!” James suddenly exclaimed with disappointment.Everyone’s eyes were fixed on him, and his shouts stunned the crowd.Sensing people's gazes, James raised his head and was taken aback when he saw hundreds of people staring at him.He scratched his head and was puzzled by the situation.Raising his phone, he checked whether something was on his face.“I don’
Not only was Thea not jealous but she was also delighted.This woman was the executive chairman of Longevity Pharmaceuticals, Yuna.Even if James was just an excuse to reject Luke, it was still an honor for James. Plus, James was her husband, so she felt proud. Meanwhile, James was led to the dance floor by Yuna.Music began to play.Yuna stretched out her slender hands. One was placed on James' shoulder, and the other wrapped around his waist. Her whole body was almost leaning right into him.On the other hand, James was stiff all over.He was slightly nervous at that moment.Yuna was beautiful, and her facial features were astonishing. She had fair skin and a pleasant scent on her. His heart thumped rapidly as she leaned her whole body into him.Even in the face of thousands of enemy troops, he had never been so nervous. Now, in front of a woman, he was actually…Yuna leaned her head on James' shoulder, embraced him, and almost completely put her weight on him.Her bo
“W-what’s going on?”“Did Yuna invite Lex?”“That’s impossible. Lex humiliated himself outside the military region and even got thrown out by the general. He must’ve been so embarrassed, but why did Yuna invite him?”“Could it be that he came uninvited?”…The crowd began to discuss Lex’s appearance.Everyone at the party consciously stepped away, not wanting anything to do with Lex.Tommy was complacent and said with a proud expression, “Grandpa, look at them. You’re so famous in Cansington that these people are backing down to show respect to you.”Hearing Tommy’s flattery, Lex was on cloud nine and wore an undisguised pride on his face.He spotted Yuna and approached with his cane. With a smile on his face, he said, “Ms. Lawson, I’m honored that you personally invited me to your birthday party.”Yuna frowned.She nodded lightly and showed slight acknowledgment since Lex was the grandfather of James’ wife, Thea.“Happy birthday, Ms. Lawson. I got you a pair of jade bracel
However, the more they denied it, the wilder the rumors that spread.Lex noticed the countless eyes watching them and felt embarrassed because even he thought Thea was sleeping with Alex.Despite Thea being the reason the Celestial Group agreed to cooperate with the Callahans, Lex cared more about his name.“You—you have no shame!” Lex’s face darkened.“Grandpa, i-it’s not like that!” “Then, explain where you got the money to buy the outfit if it wasn’t because you slept with Alex?” Tommy stood up and shouted.“I-I…” Thea felt so wronged and was on the verge of tears.She never slept with Alex.However, she did not know how to explain the situation.The money came from James, but she did not know where he got it from, and if she told them, there might be grave consequences. It was possible that James would have to go to jail. James, concentrating on his game in the corner, heard the commotion. He stood up and realized it was the Callahans. He hurriedly walked over, saw te
Everyone at the birthday party turned their heads to the entrance.Three people walked inside the hall.One was Alex, the chairman of Celestial Group.Another was Bryan, the owner of the Gourmand.The last older man was Jay, the president of the Doctors’ Association who had the title of genius doctor in Cansington.These three ranked at the top of the social pyramid in Cansington.Alex was the backbone of the Yates in the Capital. He could easily make the Great Four bankrupt with one word.Bryan was a very low-profile person but had great influence. On the other hand, Jay was one of the most prominent figures.Cansington was the capital of medicine, and he was a genius doctor.In this world, the richer one was, the more afraid of death they were.The collective influence of the people present may not necessarily even reach Jay’s level.The three approached and became the center of attention.“Who was spouting such nonsense?”“Who bad-mouthed Thea?”“Which one of you dar
“Thea is my best friend! Are you all disrespecting me by insulting her at my birthday party? There are surveillance cameras here, and I can easily check the footage to see who insulted her! This is your last chance to ask for forgiveness!” Yuna approached Thea and glared at everyone while threatening them.Those who spoke out before were terrified.Thump!Suddenly, one person from the crowd could not bear the pressure of several bigwigs and immediately knelt with his head on the floor.The person was a corporation chairman with hundreds of millions of net worth.He was a big shot outside.However, at this moment, he was kneeling on the ground like a lowly servant.Thea was taken aback by the scene.James and Yuna both held onto one of her hands.She glanced left and right.First looking at Yuna, then at James.Her beautiful face was filled with confusion.‘Is it that ghost-masked man again?’After the first person knelt, another person followed shortly.Alex, Bryan, and Y
The sky was a brilliant blue, accented by white clouds. Vast plains stretched out with rolling peaks, rivers, and seas crisscrossing the expansive land, while an aura of Spiritual Energy permeated everything. This was a new world, brimming with life and vitality, existing independently from the myriad realms.Countless cultivation resources awaited discovery here. Unending adventures beckoned the brave, and limitless opportunities awaited those with exceptional talent.This was the new world James had created, based on the Forty-Nine Daoisms and merged with his own Daoism, to resolve the Leere Tribulation and save countless beings across the myriad realms.In this world, there was no powerful Heavenly Path, no hierarchy of races, no strict rules or oppressions, and no fate governing everything. Instead, actions were judged by karma. Fortune and misfortune, as well as success and failure, were determined by karma.Though it adhered to the principle of survival of the fittest and res
“No wonder,” Lord Goyo finally understood after an extended contemplation.He distinctly remembered that back at the Yin’s Void, Jacopo, the incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, had abruptly ordered him to move all foundations out of the Dark World. In hindsight, everything now made sense. It was likely that Jacopo had foreseen all of this.Realizing this, Lord Goyo felt a chill run down his spine as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Despite doubting Jacopo’s identity as an incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, he had followed his advice. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.Snapping back to reality, Lord Goyo looked down at the Yang governor and Gladwin from his elevated position.“You fool, do you realize your mistake?”The Yang governor and Gladwin looked up simultaneously, their faces full of fear.“Lord Goyo, I truly didn't notice this. I had no idea when the Dark World was separated.”“Lord Goyo, there is something fishy about this. If James has
At the peak of Mount One in the myriad realms, the Yang Governor, disguised as James, descended with Gladwin. Both looked deathly pale, as if they had just escaped a life-threatening disaster. They were filled with panic.They stopped simultaneously upon arriving beneath a massive platform in a grand dojo.“We need to sort this out first,” the Yang Governor glared fiercely at Gladwin. “Who's going to explain this later, you or me?”Gladwin swallowed nervously. “Of course, it should be you.”“Why should it be me?” the Yang Governor scoffed. “Haven't you always claimed to be Lord Goyo's top confidant and meddled in our alliance's affairs? Now you're chickening out when there's a major issue?”Gladwin's face twitched. “This has nothing to do with cowardice. It's your duty as the leader of the Path Guardian Alliance.”The Yang Governor laughed in exasperation. “You've always been the one gathering intelligence across the myriad realms, boasting that you're better than Yegor from Skyn
That was the first thing he asked after surviving a monumental battle. James patted his shoulder. "The twenty thousand men…" "As long as it's broken," Wyot interjected, staring into the emptiness. "It's a pity the Dark World is gone forever."James wanted to respond, but the other survivors gathered around them. After the battle and the aid of the path source, they had ascended to Path Emperors, becoming top powerhouses in the myriad realms.James nodded, then waved his hand, summoning a path pearl that gleamed with holy light. The light and aura it radiated were enough to make any living being kneel before it.Just as James was about to act, Wyot knelt on one knee, followed by his warriors.James frowned. "Wyot, brothers, you have the right to stand…""We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!" Wyot declared loudly, clasping his fists. His warriors did the same."We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!"Their voices were unified, echo
Then, the Formation of Perception shook violently. When he snapped out of it, he realized that the twenty thousand Doom Race warriors led by Xezal had almost all perished.Among the remaining ones, three were losing their bodies. Hastily, James tossed three path sources into the formation, but it did not stop their bodies from crumbling."Move them out, quickly," urged Zella. "They're under immense pressure inside."James waved his hand and broke the Formation of Perception.Xezal and his remaining warriors—just three of them—appeared in the void. They were tattered and covered in blood. Their hair was unkempt, and they were barely recognizable. These were heroes who had experienced hell.Though wobbling, they stood in battle stances. Their valiance and undying will moved James. He turned his hand and covered them with four path sources, then told them to sit and heal."That's the Doom Race for you. The fact that they survived this titanic battle says a lot about their talent," Z
"Fourth, I have left some treasures for the Yaneiri Clan. They should be enough to establish yourselves in the new world. Fifth, do not be Deified. Never, ever do that. You must keep the Yaneiri Clan safe."Wynton's body contorted, plunging him into further pain. Cracks spread across his skin. "You owe me, James! You owe my clan!" he roared for the last time in his life before crumbling into dust.The light strips that imprisoned him shattered as well, and purple flames lunged at James' light wall, the shockwaves splintering it into fragments before rampaging toward the inconsolable Zella.James flew to Zella, scooped her up, and they took off. The shockwaves from Wynton's self-destruction rapidly spread, obliterating the surrounding formations.But that wasn't the end. Once freed, the shockwave rippled across the Dark World, annihilating everything in its path. Countless universes met their demise.Meanwhile, James protected the remaining Doom Race warriors within the formation,
Wynton was hysterical, but James merely shrugged. “Wynton, they say the last act people do before they die is to be kind. I see none of that in you, and you lost to me.”“And so what?” Wynton roared. “You’re just luckier than me, James! You have a Yin governor as your wife, and she has your back all the time! You would never have come this far otherwise!”James smiled. “Keep going.”“I know you don’t want to owe me any favors.” Wynton glared at him angrily. “You gave me three free attacks to repay me for sparing you in the River of Time.“Now, I’ve given you your children’s past selves back, and you owe me once more. You’re waiting for my terms, aren’t you?”James looked resigned.“Wrong,” Wynton sneered. “I won’t ask for any promises, nor will I give you any chance to repay this debt. Now, you shall owe me a favor you can never repay!”James sensed something was wrong and was shocked. “Wynton!”Wynton, imprisoned, began to burn, flames flickering and licking his body. He roare
"That’s…" The sight of that token filled Wynton with shock. "Y-You’re working with the Shadowborns?""Will you give it to me?" James shot him a threatening look.Wynton shivered, taking a deep breath. Then, a flash of purple light burst forth, and a brilliantly shining mirror flew out from the top of his head.James released Wynton and grabbed the mirror. It resonated with the token, and both items shone blindingly, responding to each other.'It’s true,' James thought. 'The Shadowborn token the master gave me before he left can sense the Nothingness Path Mirror. But why?' Questions swirled in his mind."That mirror will do nothing for you," Wynton said. "I can’t control it, so you can’t either. The only one who can is the Yin governor."He looked at James. "And she’s cleaved in two. Unless you can merge them together, the mirror will not work. However, with just your wife’s half-self, finding Wuia’s current and future selves will be a nigh impossible task."James tucked the mirr
James remained silent. He couldn't muster a response. Now, he finally understood why the Leere Tribulation had been orchestrated and the role his wife played in it.He had initially thought that by destroying the past version of Wuia concealed within the River of Time, he could hurt Wuia. Even if he couldn't stop the Leere Tribulation, he could at least delay it.With more time, he planned to gather additional clues and eradicate all three versions of Wuia, permanently solving the problem. However, his conversation with Wynton had changed his plans.Wynton observed James standing in silence and smirked. "Of course, there's a way to do this."James furrowed his brow.Wynton, brimming with glee, continued, "Kill your wife and the Light Heavenly Path. If they vanish entirely, Wuia will never obtain the Void Spiral. Even if the Leere Tribulation materializes and he returns, his strength will be no greater than before his reincarnation. You'll have enough power to fight him."That was
