At that moment, the fury and malevolence emanating from James dissipated significantly, and he gradually became calm. He shuddered when Wesley’s hand touched his forehead.“Sir Wesley!”“You are unyielding, unique, and possess a chivalrous heart. Why do you pursue the Path?” Wesley spoke earnestly, “You may be exhausted, but can the affairs of the Greater Realms be dismissed so easily?“One’s words and actions shape karma. Karma determines calamity. Calamity determines success and failure. Success and failure determine fortune and misfortune. The myriad beings of Haleth Realm are not possessions, nor are they slaves. Their destiny cannot be solely dictated by fate or constrained by laws and Daoism.“This is the decree of the Law of Paths and should be the standard for Haleth Realm. Your comprehension of Daoism surpasses grand ambitions and even the Law of Paths itself. It should shine eternally at the pinnacle of the firmament.”Hearing Wesley’s heartfelt words, James slowly close
At this moment, Thea gently reached out and cradled James’ face. She had already received the transmission from Wesley, so she knew everything even though she lay unconscious. Not only did she know that James had fallen into a demonic path, but she also understood what his current state meant for the entire Haleth Realm.“Do you fear being deceived by the whole world? Or do you fear that I might deceive you?” Thea asked softly.James was taken aback, then shook his head. “You wouldn’t.”Thea once again revealed a trace of a poignant smile. “If I were to deceive you one day, it would only be for your own good. It’s out of absolute necessity.”James nodded solemnly.“In sorrow and in joy, weddings need not be tearful. I wish to be with you forever and never to part!” Thea slowly recited these words.Then, she suddenly transformed into a streak of light and immediately merged with James’ main self.“Darling!” James exclaimed.The next moment, Thea’s voice echoed from the void.“T
Before the Xyrisia Gate in the Jawdat Region, a stunning figure appeared with great difficulty, her body stained with blood. She suddenly halted when confronting the frantic whirl of a million Bohnwer Light gas ahead. She knew well that rushing in heedlessly held a high chance of her vanishing completely, as if she had never existed in this world. It was a gamble as dangerous as a moth to flame, a choice between life and death.This figure was Lesia, the one who found herself faced with a momentous decision after James fell into a demonic path.“For you, Master, I fear nothing.”Swallowing hard, Lesia clenched her fists as she stared at the swirling Xyrisia Gate ahead. However, a grumbling voice came from behind just as she prepared to charge forward.“Quintus, is Quentyn’s planned route reliable? Can the Jawdat Region directly reach the Wuia Palace? We’ve traversed nearly all the Path Sects, so why are we still stuck here?”At these words, Lesia immediately darted behind a stone
As these words were spoken, Emperor Qadeer and Quintus bowed respectfully. The mention of the possibility that the supreme god might emerge from within the Xyrisia Gate caused their hearts to skip a beat. If that were the case, it could be a life-and-death calamity. Fortunately, they had refrained from any disrespect earlier. Perhaps they could turn this crisis into an opportunity.They had been intimidated by Lesia’s bluff. Lesia herself flashed with a golden-purple light that immediately masked her bloody appearance. Then, she appraised Emperor Qadeer and Quintus.“You are Xanthakos Qadeer, one of the five disciples under Waitara Path, ranked among the Path Emperor?”At this, Emperor Qadeer smiled faintly and straightened up. “Yes, Nothingness God. We meant no offense, we only wished...”Lesia interrupted Emperor Qadeer, asking calmly, “Did you only wish to find the Wuia Palace, seize the Path Designation Bead, and claim dominion over Haleth Realm?”At her words, Emperor Qadeer
At the Summit of Leere, a vast expanse of black-and-white gas pervaded the air. At this highest peak, a stunning goddess clad in a snow-white robe sat serenely with crossed legs.Her long hair flowed elegantly, her lips were ruby-red, her features delicate and captivating, untouched by any makeup or embellishment. She appeared as if crafted by nature itself in its purest form. Her beauty was breathtaking, almost forbidding any impure thoughts, while her demeanor outshone even the most divine goddesses.She was Frona Dhimer, the leader of the Nine Caeloros Gods.At this moment, she had long seen everything in Haleth Realm. Yet, she remained as calm and unmoved as a lifelike sculpture.Suddenly, a beam of light pierced through the gloomy void, instantly materializing into a middle-aged handsome man in a red robe with crimson hair. He stared at the tranquil Frona with a slight furrow of his brow.“You may disregard James, but do you also neglect your Soremsia?”His tone was furious
His comments left the Caeloros Gods at a loss for words.The gray-haired elderly man snorted. “Xristian, judging by your long-winded speech, you still insist on placing our hopes in James Caden?”“Of course!” Xristian jutted his chin up. “I still believe that the tenth Leere Daoism isn’t a failure.”“Hahaha!” The man in the green robe laughed mockingly.“Someone stubbornly refuses to admit the truth even at this point.“They’re putting the entire Xanadu Realm at risk just to hold onto the Caeloros Supreme’s position and save face. How shameless!”“Quintinus, I’ll be frank.” Xristian pointed at the man. “Those of you who wish to claim the Caeloros Supreme’s position will have to step over my dead body first.”In an instant, he teleported and re-emerged before Quintinus Qrandell, the man in the green robe.Quintinus didn’t back away. Instead, he balled his fists and took a fighting stance.Meanwhile, the gray-haired elderly man and Yefrenes darted toward the pair, excited and re
Despite knowing that some of them had hidden agendas, Frona did not lose her temper.Boom!On the other hand, Xristian stamped his feet, sending violent tremors through the Summit of Leere.“The Caeloros Supreme’s words are absolute! How dare you…”“I give you my word,” Frona interrupted. “I’m willing to put my position as the Caeloros Supreme at stake. I assure you that James will eliminate his inner demon and return to the right path.”The Caeloros Gods wore expressions of bewilderment upon hearing those words.Xristian tried to object, “Caeloros Supreme, this is…”Frona signaled him to stop and looked at the others. “Everyone, is that a good enough reason?”Most of the Caeloros Gods exchanged glances but kept silent.Meanwhile, Yefrenes cast a brief gaze at the gray-haired elderly man and Quintinus. Then, she smiled at Frona. “We have no more objections since you’re even willing to make a promise like that, Caeloros Supreme. However, I think we need to set a time limit…”“
There was an unreadable expression on Frona’s face as she watched Lesia prostrate herself on the floor and plead desperately.It was hard to tell whether she was feeling displeased or sorry for Lesia.After some time, she finally lifted her hand.A mass of black and white gases surrounded Lesia’s form instantly.In a matter of seconds, Lesia’s injuries were completely healed. The pain in her bruised, swollen forehead was miraculously gone as well.Lesia paused and lifted her head. “Caeloros Supreme…”“Do you even remember who your real master is?” Frona stared at her intently. “It’s me! James isn’t your master! I am!”“You’re my main self. He’s my master.”Lesia replied in a low voice, “I am your Soremsia and his second body. You and I are the same. That makes you a part of him too.”“Nonsense!” Frona shot Lesia a glare. “If you were his second body, why didn’t you fulfill your responsibilities?”Lesia fell silent.“I get it. You don’t think he should be in charge of governi
