James was left with no choice.

The family was unwilling to improve themselves and just wanted to sit back to enjoy success.

Knock, knock, knock!

“David, go open the door,” said Gladys.

David was not in the mood, so he glanced at Alyssa beside him. “Babe, you go get it.”

Alyssa was lazy to get up and glanced at James. “You go, James.”

James was depressed about their behavior.

The whole family was so lazy. However, he did not say anything and went to open the door.

At the door stood an elderly man in his 70s or 80s. He dressed very simply and was carrying a few bottles of good wine.

“W-who are you?”

James glanced at the man standing outside the door with curiosity on his face.

“Y-you must be James. I’m Thea’s granduncle, Trevor Callahan.”

“Oh, come inside.” James invited Trevor into the house.

The whole family’s faces darkened as soon as they saw Trevor entering the house.

“What’re you doing here?” Gladys asked coldly.

“Gladys.” Trevor approached with the good wine bottle

    Gladys was also tempted by his words.David said, “James, do you know how inferior the Pacific Group is to Eternality? Even though it is a big manufacturing factory, Granduncle already said it is on the brink of shutting down. Not only can’t he receive new orders, but the company is also in ten million debt. It won’t be that easy to take over, right? Plus, Pacific is Granduncle’s lifetime work. He might not sell it even if you offered him a huge sum.”Benjamin nodded. “That’s right. Besides, do you even have money?”“Money won’t be a problem. I’ll find a way to get it,” James said plainly.Gladys was already tempted. They would definitely be able to earn money if they managed to raise enough funds to take over Pacific Group. It had complete human resources and equipment to continue running. On top of that, Thea had connections with Celestial Group and Longevity Pharmaceuticals. Thus, they would surely be able to receive orders.It was much better than enduring the Callahans’ unf

    “Granduncle, shall we go through the transfer procedure now?” Thea looked at Trevor.“Alright, alright, but… Thea, do you have the money?” Trevor’s excitement gradually calmed down, and he asked uncertainly.“You aren’t teasing me, right?”Thea glanced at James. “Give me the card.”James immediately took out his Black Dragon Card.“How much money is on it?” asked Thea.She knew that James went to the military court and was expelled because he messed with some money.Thus, she had no idea how much money he had inside the card.“It’s not a lot. Probably about two hundred million?” James stated a very conservative figure.Two hundred million was just enough to solve Thea’s current problems.One hundred million as acquisition funds for the company and one hundred million as capital.He did not want to scare Thea by saying a higher figure.“By the way, the card doesn’t even have a number, so how are you supposed to transfer the money?” Thea glanced at the Black Dragon card doubt

    Calvin Oswald was a Cansington local and was naturally aware of Thea from Eternality. ‘Hasn’t Lex broken ties with Trevor already? So why is Thea here?’ Calvin wondered in his heart.He had gone to great lengths to acquire the Pacific Group.He agreed to lend the money after checking Pacific Group’s background. Pacific Group was almost his, but Thea suddenly showed up now.“Y-you must be Thea from Eternality?“Hello, Ms. Callahan. I’m Calvin from the Oswalds.” Calvin stood up and stretched his hand to greet Thea with a smile.“Hmm?”Thea glanced at him, and her beautiful face was full of indifference.Calvin pulled back his hand in embarrassment and said with an awkward smile, “Ms. Callahan, you’re not here to lend money to the Pacific Group, right?”“What do you mean ‘lend money’? We’re here to purchase and take over the Pacific Group,” said James.“What?”Larry’s expression changed when he heard this, and he shouted, “Dad, are you really selling the Pacific Group?” “I’m

    The transfer process was smooth.Trevor had asked his secretary to draft up a transfer contract, while James logged into his online banking on the spot and transferred 100 million to Trevor’s personal account instantly.At the same time, James also transferred another 100 million to the company’s account as capital funds.After the transfer was successful, they signed the agreement.Trevor seemed to have grown older in an instant. He looked at Thea and patted her shoulder. “Thea, I’m leaving the Pacific Group in your hands. I wasn’t able to bring it to greater heights, but I hope you can lead it to glory in the future,” said Trevor.“Don’t worry, Granduncle. I’ll definitely lead Pacific Group to glory,” Thea vowed and reassured Trevor.“By the way…”Larry suddenly remembered and turned toward Thea to inform her, “The company employees are making a fuss at the factory and have shown up with a dozen trucks. They’re threatening to sell the factory’s equipment if they don’t receiv

    Trevor understood the factory employees’ difficulties.He pointed to Thea beside him and announced, “Everybody, this is the company's new chairman, Thea. She will be in charge of the Pacific Group from today onward. Rest assured, everyone. The Pacific Group has the money now and will immediately issue everyone’s wages.”“What? Thea?” “Isn’t Thea working at Eternality? Why did she come to the Pacific Group?”“Are you telling the truth, Mr. Trevor?” The employees had their eyes fixed on Thea.“Yes, it’s the truth. Everyone will be issued their three months' wages that were delayed previously. On top of that, I’ve decided to give everyone an extra half month's wages as compensation. I promise everyone will have to work every day and might even have to work overtime when the company gets back on track! I will surely double everyone’s salary.”Everyone was excited to hear the news.Quill rushed over and bowed. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Callahan. I’m the deputy director, Quill.”“Hmm

    The employees’ riot did not affect Thea’s mood.From her perspective, a company did not need such people.She would never plead for them to stay if they wanted to leave.For those who chose to stay, she would give them the best wages possible.“Ms. Callahan, I’ll show you around the factory.”Trevor made a gesture to invite her into the factory. “Dad, Grandpa!” Quinton finally had the opportunity to approach them. He looked at Thea with confusion. “Grandpa, what’s going on? How did the company chariman become Thea from Eternality?”“The Pacific Group is my life’s effort, and I could not bear to have it fall into an outsider’s hands. Thea isn’t an outsider. The company will surely flourish in Thea’s hands,” Trevor explained.“I’ll make sure to live up to your expectations, Granduncle.”The group entered the factory.“Ms. Callahan, the factory’s equipment had just been replaced not too long ago. We’ve invested more than fifty million dollars in replacing the equipment, which

    A restaurant could also be opened on the food street.Any large enterprise was eligible to set up a store there and could enjoy countless benefits.The one-time fee to secure a spot in Transgenerational New City, such as in the food street, was also terrifyingly high.They had never dreamed about entering Transgenerational New City.“Are you serious, Ms. Callahan?” Quinton was excited.“We’ll give it a shot. It might or might not work.” Honestly, Thea was not confident.When she was in Eternality she had been preparing and working to expand the business to increase the company’s qualifications and secure a spot in the Transgenerational New City. She was less sure about the chances since Pacific Group was much more inferior to Eternality.However, it was her dream.It was also the dream of every business.Entering Transgenerational New City would mean gaining the protection of the Transgenerational Group, and there would be plenty of benefits.On top of that, she felt like she

    It was already noon when Thea completed the transfer process and toured the Pacific Manufacturing Factory.James and Thea left together. He rode his electric motorcycle with Thea.“Honey, let’s not go home for lunch today. We should eat out to celebrate.” Thea wrapped her arms around James as she sat behind him.The relatively strong wind ruffled her sleek black hair.She buried her head into James’ shoulder to shield herself from the wind.“Sure.”James was more than willing.He had not eaten alone with Thea for a very long time.“Should we go to the Gourmand?” Thea shook her head and said, “No. Every time I go to the Gourmand, Bryan will always come to greet me in person as if I was some prominent figure.” “Haha… Well, you’re a very influential person now! Who else are they going to curry favor with if not you?” “N-no, I’m not! It’s because…” Thea hesitated.“Hmm? It’s because of what?”“N-Nothing!”Thea shook her head.‘It’s best not to tell James about these thi

    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
