James asked with a frown, “Why?” Lyla sighed and replied, “We’ve run some investigations. There are already two powerhouses above the Fifth Xaeclon Rank in the Genesis Worlds. They’re called Tai Chi Messengers. Even if I entered the Xaeclon Rank, it wouldn’t change our situation. I’ll just be wasting the Forladtt Land’s limited resources.“Instead, it’d be better to use the resources on training up people to the Quasi Daeclon Rank. By doing so, at least we’ll have a greater chance of defending our home.”James laughed after hearing her answer. Lyla had stayed inside the Forladtt Land, protecting it for so long, and was oblivious to the outside world’s situation.He promptly explained the current trends of the Genesis Worlds after he had left Yin’s Void.Lyla looked at him in shock and asked, “In other words, there aren’t any more powerhouses at the Xaeclon Rank out here? Then, what heights have you reached in your cultivation?”James replied smilingly, “I’m at the Fifth Xaeclon
The golden bell’s chimes echoed throughout the Forladtt Land’s different levels.At a mysterious location nestled within the undulating mountains of the Forladtt Land’s second level, Taran and Jurryt engaged in a game of chess. Positioned around a colossal chessboard, they stared at the shining black and white pieces intertwined that created a complex pattern.Taran analyzed the chess pieces, stroked his beard, and laughed heartily, ‘How will you turn the tides, Dragon King?”Jurryt looked at the chessboard, somewhat embarrassed. His lips twitched as he said, I’ll just take one step back. Just one!”Taran looked at Jurryt and said, “Once a move is made, there is no room for regret. I’m afraid you’ll have to hand over the thousands of high-grade cores your legion has just acquired.”Jurryt said anxiously, “You can’t do this, Wizard. I won the last two games. What bout those?”Taran retorted, “You only won because you cheated! You’ve got really bad sportsmanship! Should we bring th
Without hesitation, Rubella turned around and shouted, “Celestial Majors, Celestial Generals!” As her voice fell, more than a dozen figures immediately appeared in front of her, kneeling on one knee.“Fortify all the important checkpoints of the Hudde Passage, and get the different legions to enter level one combat readiness. Also, dispatch scouts to gather information on all aspects of the Demon Region and the Origin World. If there is movement of large armies, report back immediately. If the enemy suddenly attacks, there’s no need to report, just counterattack,” Rebella commanded with an unquestionable tone.The Five Celestial Majors and the Eight Celestial Generals acknowledged their orders simultaneously, then dispersed in different directions.Only then did Rebella shake the fiery red cloak behind her and turn to Xatia, saying, “Let’s go.”The two of them instantly disappeared from the spot in a flash.On the first level of the Forladtt Land, Yancy, the former leader of the Beh
Leaders from across the Jademora Empire quickly gathered in the Nirvana Palace.Unfortunately, the atmosphere was not a joyous occasion. Instead, it was tense and worrisome. Everyone had a solemn expression, knowing full well what the Divine Bell’s chimes meant.After a while, Maxine suddenly spoke from amongst the crowd.“What’s going on with Lyla? She rang the Divine Bell but didn’t show up. What is the meaning of this?”Hershya quickly pulled her sleeves, warning her not to speak any further. However, following Maxine’s complaints, a few of the Dark World’s important figures began to stir as well.“Is the Left Grand Lord playing with us? The Divine Bell shouldn’t be rung for nothing.”“She always makes a big deal out of nothing. Doing all these unnecessary things just to prove her authority.”“We have so much to do. Who has the leisure to play along with her games?”“If there isn’t a good reason why she rang the bell, I won’t go easy on her.”“Our Right Grand Lord is much b
Meanwhile, the group that came from the Dark Realm, headed by Maxine, supported Rebella. The Jademora Empire seemed calm on the surface, but a storm was brewing from within it. It was a dynamite that could explode at any time.At that moment, it seemed like their conflict was about to finally explode. Once the Jademora Empire fell into internal strife, the Tai Chi’s hounds would take advantage of it and it would be a recipe for disaster.Anxious, Xatia was about to intervene. However, she finally saw Lyla, Winnie, and Noel, ascending the hall’s highest platform.As soon as Lyla appeared, the two factions put a half to their fight and the hall fell into silence.Lyla stood at the highest platform and looked at everyone coldly. She had heard their quarrels just moments ago.Faced with her silence, the Jademora Empire’s core members felt shivers down their spines. Those who were sensible silently returned to the crowd.The group of elders from the two sects that supported Lyla sno
Lyla put her hands behind her back and said, “I didn’t really intend to explain anything since there was no need to. However, it seems it’s necessary right now. It’s not that I want to, but some people need to hear it.”Everyone raised their heads, looking at Lyla with complicated expressions.She continued, “All of you participated in the battle to conquer the Xyndaros Genesis World and Sanctum Genesis World. In that battle, many of us were severely injured. Adair and Wylie died in battle. Xitlaly was also badly injured. The Solstice Alliance had about six hundred casualties of members at the peak of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation. If not for Truett’s desperate attempts to protect us, we would’ve been completely wiped out. We would not have lived to see today.“Yet, we have no idea whether he is still alive. Moreover, we lost our only passage to the Iusus Sect, Skynet, and the Dark World.”Everyone lowered their head at the reminder. They had personally experienced
Over time, she gained the reputation as someone who was oppressive and had no care for James’ life or death, wanting to seize the Jademora Empire for herself.”Now, they realized she had done everything for their safety. Even Rebella would not stand a chance against a powerhouse at the Xaeclon Rank.The hall fell into complete silence.Lyla sighed, and said, “I’ve already said what I needed to. As for how you think about me or doubt me, it doesn’t matter. I quit, and can finally take a break!”After speaking, Lyla waved her hand and shouted, “Noel, Winnie. Let’s go. We should concentrate on cultivating.”Lyla led the two siblings down the platform and walked away under everyone’s startled gazes.“Why?! Why didn’t you tell us earlier? Why wait till now?” Rebella shouted with a despairful expression.“Because just like you, I have a dream and firmly believe in our emperor. I know he’ll come back. If I were to say this in advance and shake our morale, it’ll be basically sentencing
Lyla’s departure was a blow to all the powerhouses of the Jademora Empire in the main hall. She didn’t even allow them to feel regret and guilt.“It’s their fault,” Yancy suddenly got up and roared, “Without the protection of the Left Grand Lord, will you, Maxine, Talvelai, Xezal, be who you are today? If the Left Grand Lord didn’t risk her life to break into the Elixir Vault of Timaeus Sect and get countless high-ranking elixirs, could you guys reach the Quasi Daeclon Rank and the peak of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation?”“Enough.” Xatia stood up and said angrily, “Why are you guys still arguing at this time? We need to find a way to get back the Left Grand Lord.”Upon hearing Xatia’s words, Taran and Jurryt kneeling on the ground quickly got up.“Yeah. The Left Grand Lord is entrusted by His Majesty. She won’t leave the Forladtt Land easily. We must think of a way to make up for it,” said Taran.”“You guys are too young and impulsive. That’s why the situation reache
