However, when she thought about Quincy and the Black Dragon kissing on the couch, Thea felt horrible.She glanced at James next to her.She was disappointed.If her husband had a fraction of the Black Dragonâs appeal, how wonderful would it be?âJames, youâre still quite young. Who did you learn your medical and fighting skills from?â Cynthia propped her head up on her hands, staring at James with wide eyes.She was so attracted to James.James was a walking god.His medical skills, his fighting⊠all of it was so attractive.James just smiled. All he saw was Thea.Thea was sitting next to him. He could smell the fragrance of her perfume and even the scent of her shampoo emanating from her hair.He had been close to her before.Yet he felt his heart rate increase, his blood pumping faster.Thea ignored him.She started talking to Cynthia. Smiling, she said, âCynthia, the Black Dragon taught him everything.ââWhat?âCynthia was stunned. She shouted loudly.She thought ab
James waved his hands and said while pointing to the chair beside him, âHave a seat. By the way, have you resolved the issue with Louisa?âZion walked over to sit and replied, âIâve already made it clear to her. However, getting a divorce wonât be easy since she refuses to do so no matter what. Iâm going to have to sue for a divorce. Iâll need to collect some evidence of her cheating on me. Can you help me with that, James?ââSure.âJames nodded.Since he controlled the underground intelligence network, it was easy for him to collect evidence of another personâs infidelity.âLeave it to me. Iâll get you evidence of Louisa cheating tomorrow.âZion stood up and said gratefully, âThank you, James. I donât know for how much longer I would live such a miserable life if it werenât for you. You gave me a new lifeâŠâWith a smile, James waved his hand and said, âZion, youâre exaggerating. Weâre friends, so thereâs no need to thank me. Alright, go tell the kitchen to serve the dishes quic
Thea felt guilty.James had been kind and always respectful of her every decision.Yet, she fell for another man.It was considered infidelity.She lowered her burning face and walked forward, not daring to glance at James.James quickly chased after Thea and held her hand.Perhaps due to her guilty conscience, Thea allowed James to hold her hand as he pleased and did not resist. As soon as they walked out of the cinema, a little girl approached them with some roses. She glanced at James pleadingly and said, âSir, would you like to buy some flowers for this beautiful lady? A beautiful lady must have fresh flowers!ââHow much are they?â James asked with a smile.âOne stalk is ten dollars.ââAlright, Iâll have them all.âJames touched his pocket but found that it was empty since he did not make a habit of carrying a wallet.He smiled awkwardly and asked, âDo you accept QR code payments?ââOf course, Sir.â The little girl smiled at James, revealing her two little dimples. Th
âHe is Solâs hero, and youâre the number one beauty of Cansington. You two are a match made in haven. You two would look so good together.âThea felt slightly awkward due to their words and hurriedly explained herself, âYouâve misunderstood. Iâm just friends with the Black Dragon. Iâm not planning to divorce my husband. My husband used to be the Black Dragonâs subordinate, and they had a close friendship.âJames, who heard this while standing beside her, was delighted.Theaâs thoughts of divorcing him were gone.As long as he continued to work hard, he would capture Theaâs heart sooner or later.After Thea briefly explained, she quickly dragged James away.Now that she was famous, she would get surrounded by a crowd wherever she went, and these people would always ask about her relationship with the Black Dragon.They left the jewelry shop.Thea glanced at him apologetically. âSorry, James. I actually have nothing to do with the Black Dragon. Itâs just that after you were detai
Thea hesitated for a moment and said, âYou saved his daughter, and it is reasonable for you to ask for a reward. I donât want to use divorce to threaten you. Two people should be together if theyâre suitable and separate if they aren't. I think we arenât suitable for each other.ââAlright.âJames took a deep breath.Although Thea said she did not want to use divorce as a threat, it was obvious what she meant by her words.James was disappointed in the Callahans, and more so in Thea.The Callahans had always had such âvirtuesâ and nothing they experienced could change them.As for Thea, she initially maintained great virtues despite a rotten environment. However, she had gradually become as snobby as the Callahans.He stood up, glanced at Thea, and declared, âThea, this is the last time Iâll help you. How much money do you want? After this, I will have completely paid off what I owed you in the past. As for our relationship, I agree with you. Those compatible should stay together
âThea, transfer the ten billion to me. Iâll hold onto it for you and plan how to use the money. Letâs buy a big villa first. Afterward, I want to travel around the world.âGladys had already started making plans on how to use the money.âNo.âThea refused firmly.âThis money belongs to me. Why should I let you hold onto it?âThea knew that if she gave the 10 billion to Gladys, she would never see it again.Military hospital.âWhat?â Henryâs eyes widened in shock.âAre you serious, James? You gave Thea ten billion dollars and wonât have anything to do with her from now on?âJames replied helplessly, âThea and I arenât compatible. She doesnât have me in her heart. I have completely repaid her with the ten billion dollars.ââThe man she loves is the Black Dragon. Why donât you just tell her your identity? Thereâs still a chance for you guys to remain together.âJames took a deep breath.His mind was a mess.Even he was confused by his two identities.âForget it. Itâs alrea
The Emperor knew that he could not kill James in Sol.He did not have the capability to kill James.The thought of using Thea to get rid of James had crossed his mind before. After so many things, the Emperor understood James valued Thea a lot, even more than his own life. He would surely go berserk if something happened to Thea.The consequences of the Black Dragonâs fury were terrifying.It was a severe consequence for the Emperor.There was only one way to kill Jamesâget him back to the borders and kill him on the battlefield.However, the borders were peaceful, and the small countries near the borders would have to start a war for James to be forced back on the battlefield.The Emperorâs fingers tapped lightly on the table.Tap, tap, tap.A rhythmic sound echoed in the room.After a while, the Emperor said, âStay low for a while, and donât act recklessly. Iâll come up with a plan.ââUnderstood.âThe people gathered nodded.The Callahansâ house.Thea did not expect J
James consumed a lot of alcohol.However, the more he drank, the soberer he became.Suddenly, his phone rang.He picked up his phone from the table and saw Thea calling.He answered the phone.âWhere are you, James?âTheaâs voice came through the other side of the phone. Her voice was cold and contained no emotions. James could even predict Theaâs indifferent expression while speaking to him.âWhatâs the matter? Did something happen?â James said lightly.âThere are some things I want to make clear with you. Itâs inconvenient to discuss over the phone, so we should do it face to face.ââAlright.âJames did not think about it and agreed immediately.He also felt that since they wanted to separate, it was best to get through with the relevant procedures soon. âWhere are you? Iâll come to you.âJames was unsure which bar he was at since he did not check the name when he went inside.He hung up the phone and sent the location to Thea.After Thea received Jamesâ location, she
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
âNo wonder,â Lord Goyo finally understood after an extended contemplation.He distinctly remembered that back at the Yinâs Void, Jacopo, the incarnation of Waitara Pathâs 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 Jacopoâs identity as an incarnation of Waitara Pathâs 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.âYou fool, do you realize your mistake?âThe Yang governor and Gladwin looked up simultaneously, their faces full of fear.âLord Goyo, I truly didn't notice this. I had no idea when the Dark World was separated.ââLord 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.âWe need to sort this out first,â the Yang Governor glared fiercely at Gladwin. âWho's going to explain this later, you or me?âGladwin swallowed nervously. âOf course, it should be you.ââWhy should it be me?â the Yang Governor scoffed. âHaven'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?âGladwin's face twitched. âThis has nothing to do with cowardice. It's your duty as the leader of the Path Guardian Alliance.âThe Yang Governor laughed in exasperation. âYou'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 menâŠ" "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 standâŠ""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 warriorsâjust three of themâappeared 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. âWynton, 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.ââAnd so what?â Wynton roared. âYouâre 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!âJames smiled. âKeep going.ââI know you donât want to owe me any favors.â Wynton glared at him angrily. âYou gave me three free attacks to repay me for sparing you in the River of Time.âNow, Iâve given you your childrenâs past selves back, and you owe me once more. Youâre waiting for my terms, arenât you?âJames looked resigned.âWrong,â Wynton sneered. âI wonât 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!âJames sensed something was wrong and was shocked. âWynton!âWynton, imprisoned, began to burn, flames flickering and licking his body. He roare
"ThatâsâŠ" The sight of that token filled Wynton with shock. "Y-Youâre 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.'Itâs 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 canât control it, so you canât either. The only one who can is the Yin governor."He looked at James. "And sheâs cleaved in two. Unless you can merge them together, the mirror will not work. However, with just your wifeâs half-self, finding Wuiaâs 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
