In the past, every universe occupied a vast amount of space. Now that they had been merged, the resultant universe spanned a far larger area.It was impossible for an ordinary cultivator to travel through even just one district. However, it was not a problem for James. He could ignore the existence of time and traverse through districts effortlessly. James’ traveling speed had already surpassed the limits of time. He could reach the First District quickly. Although it seemed like an instant to him, a long time had actually elapsed.A man riding a cow quickly traveled through the First District and soon arrived near the Ancestral Holy Site. The Omnipotent Lord had already become the Lord of the new universe, and his residence, the Ancestral Holy Site, overflowed with the new universe’s luck.The Ancestral Holy Site was heavily guarded by numerous powerhouses. As soon as James approached the Ancestral Holy Site, he sensed several powerful auras indicating the strength of at least a Ni
The Omnipotent Lord sat lazily in the highest seat and responded languidly, “Find them as soon as possible. We must acquire all the remaining Universe Seeds in an Epoch and induce their formation.”“Understood.” The Macrocosm Ancestral Gods in the hall nodded.Suddenly, a guard walked into the hall, knelt on one knee, and said, “Reporting, Sir! My Lord, a human has appeared outside. He claims to be James Caden and wishes to see you.”“James?”The Omnipotent Lord’s nonchalant expression immediately changed. He composed himself, and straightened up before smiling. “After staying in the Dark World for a few Epochs, he’s finally back.”After he spoke, the Omnipotent Lord stood up and stretched his muscles.“I lost to you last time and it’s haunted me ever since. Let’s see how much your cultivation has improved after these few Epochs.”The Omnipotent Lord ordered, “Let him in.”“Understood.” The guard immediately got up and left the main hall.After waiting outside the Ancestral
The Omnipotent Lord sneered, stood up, and looked down at James. He pointed at James and said, “I’ll give you two choices, James. You can either submit to me or die.”James did not take the Omnipotent Lord’s threats seriously. He calmly looked at the Omnipotent Lord and responded, “Submit to you? I might consider it, if you can make it worth my while.”“...”The Omnipotent Lord was taken aback. He did not expect James to comply so easily and was prepared for James to challenge him in a fight to the death over the position of the new universe’s Lord.”For a while, the Omnipotent Lord remained silent.After a few seconds, he sorted out his thoughts and grinned. “Of course, I’ll make it worth your while. In the new universe, those with strength will be given authority. If you can defeat my subordinate, I’ll give you the position of the Deputy Universe Lord.”The Omnipotent Lord called out, “Briscoe.”“Yes, My Lord.”Immediately, a man stepped forward. It was a middle-aged man abou
A thousand years was a long time for mortals, but for a powerhouse like James, it would pass in the blink of an eye.“Alright. I agree to your terms.”The Omnipotent Lord clapped his hands and laughed out loud. “Haha. Don’t disappoint me, James. I hope you can defeat Briscoe and become the Deputy Universe Lord. Then, we can join forces and vanquish the Dark World together.”James’ frowned at the Omnipotent Lord’s words. He suspected that the Omnipotent Lord’s current strength and legion of of powerhouses were all acquired through the Watchers. However, he oblivious to the Dark World’s circumstances and was still trying to conquer it.Did the Watchers help him while keeping him in the dark?James did not dwell on the question for too long and asked, “Where will the battle be held?”The Omnipotent gave it some consideration and said, “After I merged the twelve universes to form a Super Universe, the space in the new universe has become very stable. However, I’m sure a battle betwee
Quimoars carried James to Mount Nine-Saints. When he arrived, he released his Divine Sense. Although there was a formation outside Mount Nine-Saints, his Divine Sense could bypass it and scan the surroundings. He located Mirabelle cultivating in the mountain.“Wait for me outside the mountain, Quimoars.”After James instructed Quimoars to wait for him, he vanished the next instant. He passed through Mount Nine-Saints’ protective formation silently and appeared where Mirabelle was cultivating.Behind Mount Nine-Saint’s main mountain was another mountain with a conducive environment and abundant Spiritual Energy. In the area was a waterfall that splashed around in the river underneath.An attractive woman sat on a rock by the river bank beneath the waterfall, emitting a dominating aura from her body.Swoosh!Light descended from the sky and took the form of a man. Mirabelle immediately sensed James’ presence and stopped cultivating. She stood up from the rock and was surprised to s
Mirabelle exclaimed, “Master?!”. However, James was long gone. After he left Mount Nine-Saints, he headed to Omnipotent City which was outside the Ancestral Holy Site. Omnipotent City was a main city of the First District and the new universe’s capital. Many Macrocosm Ancestral Gods lived there. Previously, James held a lecture on Mount Bane, where he taught how to cultivate Macrocosm Powers. Many Ancestral Gods were inspired by his teachings and went into seclusion.Now that the twelve universes had fused, the new universe had a Super Heavenly Path, and the limits of heaven and earth were also lifted.In the current new universe, there was no longer a limit to the number of Macrocosm Ancestral Gods that could exist in a given place. As long as one had the potential, becoming a Macrocosm Ancestral God was now possible.It had only been a million years since the new universe’s formation, but many people became Macrocosm Ancestral Gods because of the knowledge James had shared durin
Since the Omnipotent Lord already knew about Universe Seeds, he most likely had already come in contact with the Watchers. Another possibility was that Thea had reappeared, and briefed the Omnipotent Lord about everything. James was still unable to determine which was most likely the case.“Stay here, Quiomars. I’ll go fight Briscoe in the Chaos.” After leaving a few words, James disappeared. The Omnipotent Lord had already spread the news of the imminent battle far and wide a thousand years ago. Now that it was the long awaited moment, many Macrocosm Ancestral Gods and Caelum Ancestral Gods had gathered in the Chaos where the battle would take place.The pressure in the Chaos was oppressive. It was impossible to withstand the pressure unless one had reached the Caelum Ancestral God Rank.The battlefield was already full of spectators when James showed up.“He’s here! James has arrived!”“It’s really James.”“A few Epochs ago, he gave a lecture on Mount Bane in the Twelfth Di
Many people from the Twelfth District had come to spectate the fight. Even James’s children, Jacopo, Xainte, and Winnie, had come to watch him fight. James’ good friend, Henrik, was also present.Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the battlefield.Xainte asked worriedly, “Dad will definitely win, right?”Winnie held her hand tightly and said, “Don’t worry. I’m sure everything will be fine. You need to trust Dad.”On the battlefield, neither James nor Briscoe moved a muscle. The two simply glared at each other for an entire day.“Since you refuse to make a move, then I’ll take the initative.” Briscoe could not hold back anymore, and his face darkened. He suddenly called on his energy, and a powerful aura erupted from his body.He unleashed his nine Macrocosm Powers, which were all at peak strength.Briscoe went all out, unleashing all of his nine Macrocosm Powers. His long black hair whipped everywhere, and terrifying energy erupted from him.His energy caused the space around 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
