Henry continued watching the crowd.House of Royals, living room.Lex continuously greeted the bigwigs that showed up at his birthday party.“From the North Cansington Military Region, Chase Nolan has arrived and presented a gift of premium tobacco and alcohol.”A voice sounded in the living room.It was an announcement that shocked everyone present.The living room filled with hundreds of people fell into silence instantly, and everyone turned toward the door.Two people walked through the door.Both of them were dressed in uniforms. The one walking ahead was a middle-aged man in his fifties, who wore a military cap and had a shiny star medal on his shoulder.The person who followed behind him was evidently not someone of a low military rank.“He’s here. He’s here! My uncle has arrived with the general,” Brody exclaimed.He immediately approached Chase Nolan and straightened himself to give a formal military salute. “Sir! I’m the deputy captain of Noth Cansington’s speciali
‘Xara?‘The Xara who hooked up with the trashy live-in son-in-law of the Callahans?‘Who is she coming with?‘Scarlett?‘The Scarlett who bought the entire Transgenerational Group?’The noisy living room went silent in an instant.Scarlett’s name and reputation had been widespread throughout Cansington since she bought the Transgenerational Group.This was a figure at the pinnacle of the pyramid.What was a wealthy family right now?They were nothing in front of Scarlett.“What’s going on, Thea? Isn’t that Xara? Why is she with Scarlett? That’s the new owner and chairman of the Transgenerational Group,” David whispered. Thea shook her head. “How would I know?” Scarlett entered the room, and her beautiful eyes scanned the room.Those who met her eyes held their breath.Many people secretly discussed it.“Which big shot did the Callahans suck up to?“How is it possible for the new owner of Transgenerational Group to be here?”“I never expected the legendary Scarlett wh
Lex looked at Brody.Brody stood up and said, “Uncle, didn’t I call you yesterday about getting beaten up by the Xenoses?”Yoke nodded. “Yeah? I think that happened.”Brody did call him yesterday, but he was busy with some business and did not have to take care of such trivial matters, so he casually brushed it off.“Yeah. Then, Mr. Watson showed up with the perpetrators to ask for forgiveness and allowed us to use the House of Royals to organize the birthday party.”“Huh?”Scarlett looked at Gavin.Gavin was also confused.‘What's going on here?’He asked for forgiveness because the president called him, saying the general was angry.Since Chase was the only general present, he naturally assumed it was his doing.‘Was I wrong?’Scarlett's face darkened, and she glared at the bright decorations around the House of Royals. She glanced at Lex and uttered word by word, “I’ll treat it as if you’ve rented this place from me, Lex. It will cost thirty billion for one day. I’ll per
The general’s secretary, Yoke, almost passed out from fear after hearing the order from the Blithe King.However, fainting was not going to help him avoid his fate.To be able to climb so high in the ranks, he definitely had to use some unclean methods. The stuff that he did would surely be discovered if they ran a thorough investigation on him.Hundreds of people were gathered in the huge living room of the House of Royals, yet none dared to speak.The atmosphere was extremely tense.Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!Two big leather shoes made contact with the ground with loud thumping noises.Two fully-armed soldiers approached and took away the unconscious Yoke.Meanwhile, Chase, who had a star on his shoulder, turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.‘This…What’s going on?’Chase was confused about the whole situation. The first person he visited in Cansington was the Blithe King.Everything was fine before, but now the Blithe King had shown up at the House of Royals
He thought this would be the most glorious time of his life. He never expected it to be the most humiliating one instead.Worse still, the owner of the Transgenerational Group, Scarlett, was asking them to compensate 30 billion dollars.30 billion dollars?It was an enormous amount that the Callahans simply could not afford.“What exactly happened?”Lex was furious and smashed the furniture and some antiques in the house into pieces.There were dozens of people gathered in the huge villa, yet none of them spoke up.Everyone knew that if they spoke while Lex was furious, they would only get themselves in trouble.After venting his anger, Lex calmed down and sat on the sofa. He glanced at Gladys’ family and pleaded, “Gladys, you’re the only one capable of saving the Callahans now. Didn’t you say your niece is working in the Transgenerational Group? Didn’t she come with Ms. Brooks? You’re the only one who can help us now.”“I…”Gladys was on the fence.Meanwhile, Thea sat on th
James drove his electric motorcycle to the Callahans’ villa.As soon as he entered the house, he saw the antiques and paintings scattered on the floor.Lex sat on the sofa and smoked his tobacco. Apart from a few core members that were seated, everyone else was standing.James walked in and pretended to be surprised. “Oh? I thought you were having your eightieth birthday in the House of Royals? Why’re you all at home? What’s going on?”He saw Wendy sitting on the sofa while crying. “What’s the matter, Wendy? Where’s your deputy captain husband, Brody? Why don’t I see him here?”James said and deliberately looked around.The Callahans had very ugly-looking expressions.They were extremely provoked by James.However, they required James’ help and could not scold him.Tommy uttered softly, “James, don’t you have an unusual relationship with Xara? Since she’s working for Ms. Brooks now, could you get her to ask Ms. Brooks to forgive the Callahans?”“Huh?”James walked over and s
Everyone was shocked by James’ words.How did the live-in son-in-law have such influence? How was he able to get the Blithe King to appear in person?After being stunned for a while, they immediately made sense of the situation.James was using the opportunity to act as if he was really powerful after the incident.Who in Cansington was capable of getting the Blithe King to show up in person?Lex took a deep breath and said, “James, regardless of what happened, you’re part of the Callahans now. You can’t just watch us go down in the fire, right?”James raised his voice. “Didn’t you want to expel me from the Callahans? Didn't you want Thea to divorce me?”“N-not anymore.“You won’t be divorced. You’re still part of our family.”The family members began to try and persuade James.“Thea, what do you say?” Lex glanced at Thea and asked.Thea thought for a while and said, “As long as you can solve the current crisis of the Callahans, I’ll give you another chance.” James glanced
“Yes.”James did not deny it and boasted, “Scarlett’s House of Royal belongs to me, and I can go if I want. I also arranged for Xara to work in the Transgenerational Group. Scarlett will listen to everything I say.”Thea rolled her eyes.“We flatter you a bit, and you go on making up more outrageous lies?”The Callahans glanced at him contemptuously.His lies were outrageous.“By your words, that means Scarlett is your wife, and you invited the Blithe King to the House of Royals today?” Tommy said coldly.James glanced at Tommy. “Of course.” “What a liar.” Tommy snorted.The other family members looked at him condescendingly.Now there was no more need for them to curry favor with James since he was not the one who solved the family crisis.Xara was from the same family as Gladys, the Hills. What did it have to do with James?James had told the truth. The Callahans did not believe him, and he could not do anything about it.It was not that they do not want to believe him.
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
