Mirabelle was a core figure of the First Universe.She was born in the same period as the Omnipotent Lord, and her strength was terrifying. In the First Universe, only the Omnipotent Lord was slightly stronger than her.However, she could only sense one Macrocosm Ancestral God in the Twelfth Universe. The person she was sensing was the Twelfth Universe’s Lord, Radomir. Forty-nine, on the other hand, was nowhere to be found.She was very puzzled.Her only choice was to release her energy for Forty-nine to take notice of her. She believed Forty-nine would definitely show up as long as she spread her energy.Radomir was alerted as soon as she released her aura throughout the universe.However, he did not show up.Although he was the Twelfth Universe’s Lord, there was an even more powerful person than him in the Twelfth Universe.While James was focused on cultivating to find a new path, he suddenly sensed a powerful force sweeping through the air. He immediately stopped cultivatin
James put away the invitation and said, “Alright. I’ll definitely come to the First Universe to attend the conference in ten thousand years.”Mirabelle walked toward James with a bright smile. However, James slowly backed away from her.The woman before him was terrifyingly strong. Although she looked beautiful and harmless, like a goddess, the aura emanating from her made him wary.“You don’t have to be so nervous. I’ve never visited the Twelfth Universe before. Now that I’m here, how about you show me around the Twelfth Universe?”Mirabelle showed no intentions of leaving anytime soon.She wanted to stay to learn more about Forty-nine and how he reached such a high cultivation rank while staying under the First Universe’s radar.James was full of mysteries.However, James turned her down, saying, “I still have some other business to attend to right now. I don’t have the time to accompany you on a stroll. You can check out the place yourself if you’re interested in the Twelfth
After hearing James mention the Dark Strife, Mirabelle was slightly confused. However, she suddenly caught on that James was trying to hint he had something to do with it.James asked casually, “Have you heard of Yukia?”He had two purposes. One, he wanted to learn more about Yukia. He knew Yukia was definitely not from the Twelfth Universe. Thus, she had to be from another universe.From the timeline, she was most likely from a universe before the ninth.Mirabelle was from the First Universe. If Yukia had been to the other universes, Mirabelle should know about her.Secondly, he was trying to confuse the First Universe.“Yukia?”Mirabelle briefly searched her memories. Then, she shook her head and said, “I’ve never heard of her before.”James explained, “During the Dark Strife, Yukia inflicted severe injuries on three hundred Ninth Stage Lords.”Mirabelle stared at James and asked, “Who is she?”James smiled lightly and replied, “She’s my master.”He tried to bluff her.
Mirabelle believed James’ lies. After all, he indeed demonstrated terrifying strength.It was impossible for an ordinary person to have easily killed a Three-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God that wielded a Chaotic Treasure.Moreover, James had entered the Omniscience Path’s Fourth Stage, which surpassed her knowledge of the Omniscience Path.“I wasn’t expecting you to have cultivated the Omniscience Path. Many people have tried cultivating the Omnscience Path, but no one has ever gone beyond the Third Stage. How did you do it?”Mirabelle stared at James curiously, hoping to be enlightened.“If you have nothing else to do here, please leave. I’ll be sure to attend the conference in the First Universe’s Ancestral Holy Site in ten thousand years.” James chased her away from the Twelfth Universe.“Then, I’ll see you in the First Universe.”Mirabelle did not say anything more. She already had the answers to her questions. Thus, she did not need to continue staying in the Twelfth Uni
James had received Mirabelle's invitation from the First Universe. He still had ten thousand years before the conference. That was plenty of time.James returned to his seclusion sanctuary in the Human Realm’s Divine Dimension.Initially, he planned to meet his family and friends before leaving for the First Universe. However, he decided not to see them yet after some deliberation. To them, he was already a dead man.It was better they did not reunite since he would have to leave them again. It would only make them miss him even more.Thus, James headed to meet up with Henrik instead.Besides Radomir, Henrik was the second strongest person in the Twelfth Universe. James wanted to ask for him to look over the Twelfth Universe and maintain peace while he was gone.Meanwhile, Mirabelle was also on her way back to the First Universe.Although the Chaos was boundless, a powerhouse like Mirabelle could break through the time restriction when advancing at full speed.She returned to t
However, the Omnipotent Lord was unsure how many powerhouses were hidden in the depths of the Dark World.The Omnipotent Lord asked, “How do you know these things?”Mirabelle replied, “When I met Forty-nine at the Twelfth Universe, he told me about these events. The powerhouse that injured three hundred Ninth Stage Lords is called Yukia. He didn’t tell me what her cultivation rank was. However, she must be an existence that has already surpassed a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God.”“Haha!” The Omnipotent Lord laughed.“You’re an Eighth-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God, Mirabelle. Did you really just believe whatever he said? It’s impossible to go beyond a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God. I became a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God a long time ago. Truthfully, a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God is the limit. It’s impossible to go beyond that. Unless we merge our universes, one can’t possibly surpass a Nine-Power Macorcosm Ancestral God. However, it’s just a speculation of min
James was oblivious that his words had convinced Mirabelle and the Omnipotent Lord.To verify James’ words, Mirabelle personally headed into the Dark World to investigate these matters.On the other hand, the Omnipotent Lord ordered his confidant to travel to the other universes to inquire about Yukia.Meanwhile, James had already gone to the Demon Realm to meet with Henrik.“Haha!”After learning that James had bluffed a powerhouse of the First Universe, Henrik laughed and said, “I just found out that you’re better at lying than my master. You’re really good at it. The First Universe will surely be wary of you now.”James said, “I devised such a plan because I’m worried the negotiation during the conference won’t go well and the First Universe will try to use force against the other universes.”Henrik nodded and said, “It’s a good strategy. The First Universe will most likely try to investigate and verify your words. Everything you said about the Dark World is true, so there wi
However, these nebulae were just a small portion of the First Universe.In the First Universe, there were many more other nebulae.“I’ve finally arrived at the Fist Universe.“The First Universe’s lifespan was supposed to have ended long ago. However, they fused the Thirteenth Universe into theirs and forcefully extended their lifespan. Otherwise, they would’ve already ceased to exist.”Standing outside the First Universe’s border, James recalled some things about the Thirteenth Universe.He stepped through the border and entered the First Universe.James immediately unleashed his Divine Sense, which spread throughout the universe. He quickly learned that the First Universe was huge. After they merged with the Thirteenth Universe, their area became twice the size of the Twelfth Universe.The First Universe’s Heavenly Path was also very stable and strong.James murmured, “As expected from the First Universe.”Suddenly, a few people surrounded him.They were the Macrocosm Ances
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
