His words immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Faced with their hostile glares, Morgott shrugged and said indifferently, “Don’t get me wrong. I meant everyone here except James and Thea.”Hearing his provocative words, everyone except James and Thea stood up, eager to fight him.Truett retorted, “Damn it, you devil…”Morgott pointed at Truett and said, “You shouldn’t be angry. You don’t even understand how the Greater Realms are divided, so it’s ridiculous for you to be commenting on rules and regulations.”Everyone was furious at his words but was listening intently for an explanation.Morgott slowly got up from the ground and said solemnly, “From nothingness to From the nothingness comes the Wuia; from the Wuia emerged the Five Primal Evolutions. Thus, from nothingness to existence, death to life, stillness to movement. Ultimately, it came to forming the Xyloria Tai Chi and the Six Xyrisia Sacred Spirits.”“Then, Yin and Yang emerged from the Xyloria Tai Chi, heralding t
Morgott sneered, “They say I am a demon who kills people or supreme beings without blinking an eye. That I’m cruel and would commit heinous crimes.”He raised his voice and shouted, “But! I can say with confidence that no matter where I’ve gone, I’ve never killed a human.”Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.James narrowed his eyes, seemingly coming to a realization.Morgott’s spirit was undeniably potent. He could possess or manipulate any living entity, and he was immortal. It would not be long before his seal was lifted, and he could take over their bodies to seek revenge. Considering his accomplishments, rebellious nature, and adherence to the principle that the strong should dominate, why would he pursue a bond akin to brotherhood with James, risking everything for him?It dawned on James that Morgott sought comradeship and craved understanding and support. Therefore, he forsook his collaboration with Yehria and chose to side with two humans, including himself
After everyone else had left, Herodias slowly sat down with a solemn expression.Thea and James looked at each other, hesitant to speak.After contemplating, Herodias said, “Tell me the truth, James. Did you receive Emperor Yarden’s inheritance?”James was momentarily stunned but nodded at her question.Herodias further inquired, “Was it all of his inheritance?”James replied uncertainly, “I encountered his remnant soul and am not sure…”Herodias pressed, “Did you obtain his Soul Condensation Art?”Thea looked at James nervously.James was momentarily taken aback before he turned his hand over and summoned a vibrant fire lotus from his palm.Thea’s eyes sparkled with excitement, whereas Herodias covered her mouth in astonishment, her wide eyes reflecting shock.James asked, “Is this the one?”Herodias stood up and channeled a purple-gold Tirta Power into the fire lotus. A translucent figure instantly materialized within the flames. However, it was still and devoid of conscio
Morgott’s original name was revealed to be Havelock Darrow.Thea, James, and Herodias were utterly astonished.The Xyloria Tirta sneered, “He isn’t worthy of being called a hero. He is bloodthirsty and ruthless. His heart harbors excessive hatred and has no consideration for the lives.“He lacks morality and only thinks of himself. Even though the Supreme Path was at fault, he would still have been forced to go into hiding.”The Xyloria Tirta directed his gaze towards James, who was consuming Chaos Absinthe and restoring his Chaos Essence.“This individual has encountered difficult circumstances and endured numerous hardships, yet has been sheltered and mentored by many. Even Emperor Yarden vouched for this being. How could I not acknowledge him?”Thea looked at James with pride, her eyes gleaming with admiration.James said abruptly, “But I have no interest in becoming the Supreme Path. I don’t want to become ruthless and indifferent or be a formless entity devoid of desires an
James looked at her and was about to speak when he saw Herodias suddenly extend her hand to reveal a fist-sized, multicolored pearl.James and Thea were simultaneously shocked.This was the Xyloria Tirta Pearl of the Tirta Sect. Surprisingly, it was bigger, brighter, and more beautiful than the Xyloria Tai Chi Pearl!Nobody would have imagined that Herodias had been carefully carrying such an important treasure on her.Thea said, “Don’t go against your heart, Herodias. If there is even the slightest reluctance to give it up, please don’t force yourself. James would never blame you.”James remained silent, unsure of what to say. Truthfully, he desired the Xyloria Tai Chi Pearl. However, he understood that Herodias would never have offered it up if she was hesitant. He had no intention of acting sanctimonious or pretending to decline, as that would seem insincere. He would never force Herodias to give it up if she was unwilling. According to Morgott, there were six Xyrisia Sacred
Yegor glanced at James. “What are you talking about? Despite my wife’s usual recklessness, she is very thoughtful.“I know she dreams of restoring the glory of the Tirta Sect and eliminating Yehria. Unfortunately, she wasn’t strong enough.“Now, with your help, she could meet her father once last time. She must have gained enlightenment, and the obsession and arrogance in her heart have completely disappeared.“She chose to abolish her cultivation and start over. That in itself might be a blessing under disguise.”He glanced at Thea again. “She knows that despite her thin standing in Zymurgy. Although she has been relying on the foundation left by the Tirta Sect, she probably wouldn’t have lasted long anyway. Perhaps starting over again is the right decision for the Tirta Sect.”James raised his head and said faintly, “Indeed. It’s not just the Tirta Sect that needs a restart. All the creatures in the Greater Realm have strayed for too long. It’s time to return to the right path.
Yegor, Truett, and Xitlaly exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously.Herodias sighed and said, “First, the Tirta Sect and Skynet must immediately relinquish their independence and transfer all resources, territories, disciples, and subjects under their command to James.”At these words, Truett and Xitlaly looked shocked. However, Yegor smiled knowingly.Herodias continued, “Second, once Truett completes his tasks for James, he must step down as leader of the Solstice Alliance, and James will take over its administration.“Third, we will not make decisions about our family’s future. We trust James to handle everything.”With that, Herodias looked at Xitlaly and weakly raised her hand."Mother!" Xitlaly hurriedly stepped forward to support her, eyes filled with tears.Herodias smiled. “You are a smart child, Xitlaly. Since you joined our family, I have asked nothing of you except that you address me as your mother.”“Yes, Mother. Is there anything you need for me to do?” Xitlal
“Alright, time is of the essence. Go fetch James,” Herodias instructed Truett.Truett turned, wiping away his tears, and hurried out.Meanwhile, Xitlaly and Yegor stayed by her side.Upon arriving at the temple, Truett found it empty except for James and Thea seated there.Truett approached them. “Where are the others?”James looked at him and replied, “They’ve just been released from their seal and need to recover. Have you already bid farewell?”Truett nodded, then said, “My mother would like you two to join us.”James said smilingly, “That won’t be necessary. I can’t bear another farewell. I know what’s on her mind.”After speaking, he extended his hands and revealed the Wisdom Tower, Courageous Tower, and Perceiver Tower. They buzzed as they flew toward Herodias.Truett opened his mouth but swallowed his words.James stated, “We’re like brothers. There’s nothing you can’t say.”Truett asked, “Is this an artifact that will help my mother reincarnate?”James explained smil
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
