“The trial will now begin.”

With that, the long-awaited trial began.

The vast courthouse was silent.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on James. Some pitied him, although most were apathetic.

“C-Can I have something to eat?”

James opened his eyes with great difficulty. The glaring lights blinded him.

Though his voice was frail, it reverberated throughout the silent courthouse.

Seeing this, many wept, especially Quincy. She knew that James served the people wholeheartedly. Though he had resigned, he chose to return to the battlefield without the slightest bit of hesitation.

In the end, however, this was how he was treated.

She stood up and voiced her dissatisfaction tearfully.

“Although James is guilty, you have no right to torture him under Solean law. Is this how you treat a man who performed great meritorious service for the country?” Quincy’s voice boomed.

The Emperor stood up and hurriedly explained, “I apologize for the neglect of our prisoner’s condition. We were so

    All the cameras were pointed at James. He was filthy and unwashed all over. “I do,” James said in a feeble voice. Although the witnesses had exaggerated, it was undeniable that he killed them. “Good.” The Emperor stood up and cried out, “Since you plead guilty, what do you think your punishment will be in accordance with criminal law?” “Execution.” James looked the Emperor in the eye. His eyes were devoid of fear. Although he was enfeebled, his stare was as menacing as always. The Emperor was discomposed. Feeling as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast, he unconsciously took a few steps back. Immediately, however, he put on his facade. The panic which was written on his face disappeared. Scanning his surroundings, he announced, “James should be executed for his crimes in accordance with the law. Members of the jury, please discuss amongst yourselves.” Hearing this, they exchanged their opinions in whispers. Outside the courthouse… A convoy stopped in fron

    “He’s wearing a black robe… He’s a general of the Southern Plains! What is he trying to accomplish by appearing with the Blade of Justice at James’ trial? Is he trying to exonerate James with the sword?” The crowd was heatedly in a discussion. Meanwhile, James sat at the defendant’s stand and smiled. Seeing the Blade of Justice, the Emperor’s face darkened. Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Henry announced, “Though Sol is a country with a rule of law, many are able to escape justice by finding loopholes. The Blade of Justice serves to execute these wicked criminals and give them what they deserve.” Henry said with great confidence, “The Black Dragon, commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon army, has upheld Solean law by executing all those who escaped justice. The former heads of the Great Four of Cansington were executed due to a massacre ten years ago. “Ten years ago, the Cadens, the most powerful and influential family in Cansington, were burned alive. The mastermind

    Under everyone’s gaze, James pulled out the Blade of Justice.He looked at the Blade of Justice and pointed it at the Emperor.“What?”The masses were shocked by his actions.The Emperor was stunned. His heart palpitated as cold sweat beaded his forehead.After a few seconds, he calmed down and shouted, “What is the meaning of this, James? You’re pointing your weapon at me. Are you implying that you want to kill me?”James smiled. “Emperor, you’re overthinking this. I was just casually waving it around.”He was holding up the Blade of Justice, which weighed more than five kilograms. His arm had gone weak, and his face gradually turned pale as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. Wielding the Blade of Justice took all his strength.He reluctantly put it down.Many sighed in relief.Henry looked at everyone again. “I’ve said everything I needed to.”After speaking, he walked to an empty seat below and sat down.The jurors in the higher seats began to debate.“What should w

    No one expected him to be a national hero who sympathized with the poor and dedicated his life to protecting the nation. A person like him ended up with such a miserable fate.Thousands of people gathered outside the courthouse. All of them lowered their heads in silence. Many women secretly wept for him.“James…”A voice came from behind him. James turned around and saw Henry chasing after him.Henry approached him and asked, “Where are you going, James?”James raised his hand weakly and patted Henry’s shoulder, saying, “I appreciate you. You don’t need to worry about my affairs anymore. Go back to the Southern Plains. Someone needs to be there to manage the hundred and fifty cities. Don’t let the Southern Plains fall into chaos.”“But, you…”James waved his hand and interrupted Henry. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. I’ll take this opportunity to have a really good rest. I’m exhausted. Incredibly exhausted.”James reassured him and turned to leave.The people at the entrance

However, the allegations were cleared off one by one.As for accepting the bribes… James admitted to committing the crime.However, the money he acquired was distributed to the Black Dragon Army and used to establish the Transgenerational Group to give back the money to the commoners. Although it was illegal, he gained the support of the people.The Black Dragon had a Black Dragon card and was not short on money. However, he still knowingly broke the law to give back to the country.After the public trial, James collapsed. No one knew why it happened.However, the public knew that from that moment onward, Sol had lost their War God and a great commander devoted to the country.During the public trial, James used all his strength to hold up the Blade of Justice and put it back in place.After leaving the courthouse, he walked through a path surrounded by people about two

    James gently shook his head.He did not blame anyone.Even without Thea, the Emperor would have found another way to deal with him. If it was not her, it would have been someone else.“By the way, are you alright? Are you feeling better?”Thea shook her head. “I-I don’t feel any discomfort and should be fine for the time being.”Hearing this, James felt relieved.The Gu in Thea’s body was not as vital as his, and she was not in immediate danger.“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry…wah…”Thea was at a loss for words and could only keep apologizing in front of James.“It’s okay. It isn’t a big deal. Aren’t I still fine? I’m hungry. Do you have anything to eat?”“I-I’ll go get something for you.”Thea did not know what she could do for James. Hearing that he was hungry, she quickly left the ward to get him food.After Thea left, the ward returned to silence.James leaned on the bed. He weakly raised his hand and massaged his temples. He had a lot of things to do next.However, th

    Scarlett panicked. “I’ll die without your protection, James.”Scarlett was a grave robber. She and her companions robbed the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s ancient tomb.A lot of buzz about the ancient tomb was spreading in the criminal world like wildfire. In the past, she was the Transgenerational Group’s chairman. Thus, no one came knocking on her door. Now that the Transgenerational Group had fallen, people from the underworld would surely be after her.She would die if she returned now.James’ face was pale as he replied weakly, “I can’t protect you with the way I am right now. How about you go to Cansington and look for the Blithe King? Ask him to arrange a position for you. He is one of the Five Commanders, and I’m sure no one will trouble you with him as your backbone.”Since James had already devised a plan for her, Scarlett had no complaints.James glanced at Quincy and said, “You should also return to Cansington.”“No.”Quincy refused.At that moment, Thea returned wit

    The footsteps were light.Although James' health was declining, his senses had not been dulled. He rolled off the bed and tip-toed out of the ward. He scanned the hallways and approached the staircase.When he reached the staircase entrance, he immediately noticed a man dressed in a black coat and duckbill hat, deliberately covering up his appearance. The man leaned against the wall and waited for James to approach. “The King has requested for me to check on you. Are you alright?” a hoarse voice asked.James stood beside him. His body was unstable, and he had to resort to leaning against the wall to reduce his burden.James wore a grim expression as he explained, “My body is in a critical condition. I was poisoned with Gu. My body is weak and will slowly deteriorate until I’m completely paralyzed. I’ll have to await my death in pain while bedridden.”“Gu?” Gloom was shocked.“How can this be? Haven’t these cultlike practices been destroyed a hundred years ago? How is it pos

    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
