Morgott’s eyes widened in shock. “What are you giving me? There aren’t many things that can impress me.”Harper’s stern look quickly silenced him. James spread his arms, and a divine light enveloped the entire Jawdat Region.The Jawdat Region’s Nine Holy Temples rose into the sky and rotated.Morgott and Harper watched in astonishment. The Nine Holy Temples were lined up in a row but separated into three groups.James pointed into the void, and a few dozen more temples emerged, connecting the Nine Holy Temples to form a dazzling and colorful pattern.The temples formed a heart, emitting dazzling lights. The scene was magnificent and luxurious.“Open!” James shouted and spread his hands. Two divine lights spread throughout the Jawdat Region, forming a barrier along its edges.Under the divine light, a beautiful terrain appeared within the barrier.Harper and Morgott watched as the scenery changed rapidly before it settled. They looked around and found that the Jawdat Region had
“It’s the path’s fault, the Jawdat Region’s fault! It’s the Heart Temple’s fault. Argh!”Before he could finish speaking, Harper knocked him to the ground and began beating him up.After a while, Harper tidied up her messy hair, smiled, and looked at James. Embarrassed, she said, “Your gift is too expensive. I feel bad accepting something so valuable.”James rolled his eyes. “If you feel bad, I can give it to someone else.”Harper quickly shook her head. “No, no! What I mean is, I’ll accept it. Otherwise, you’ll be sad.”James was rendered speechless.Morgott got up, grinned, and said, “Of course, you must accept it! If he were my disciple, I’d ask for half of the Haleth Realm!”James said nothing but stretched out two fingers and pointed at the Heart Temple in the sky.A beam of divine light shone, engraving several large words on the plaque before the Heart Temple.“Historia Palace?” Harper murmured, then abruptly turned to James. “What is the meaning of this?”Morgott frow
Morgott asked hurriedly, “What is this?”However, nobody paid attention to his question.Harper was busy selecting from the energy balls while James calmly waited for her.“This one!” After a while, Harper suddenly grabbed a rotating energy ball and crushed it.Instantly, a large knife with a dazzling light appeared in her hand.Morgott’s pupils trembled in shock.James was also stunned.Harper waved the big knife and said proudly, “With this, I can bully Morgott every day. Doesn’t he have a Demonic Body? I should be able to cut through him with this knife!”As soon as she spoke, the Jawdat Region trembled, seemingly infuriated by the knife’s force.Morgott felt a shiver and said, panicked, “Wait, what? You want to use this against me?”James laughed, “I also think that’s a little inappropriate. After all, you’re a beautiful woman. It would be weird for you to swing around a huge knife.”Harper carried the big knife on her shoulder and said, “No, I want this! I can chop down
“Though I have no desires and am generous, you should still show appreciation for me. Even if you offered me something and I refused, I would feel my effort was worth it. Don’t you think?”James chuckled as he watched Morgott pace back and forth angrily.Morgott waved his hand impatiently. “Say something! I know you’re not a stingy or shameless person. I wouldn’t have become friends with you otherwise. Though I’m usually carefree and don’t expect you to reward me, giving me a status shows how much I mean to you. At the very least, you should give me a title! Whether you like it or not, I must have one today!”James took a deep breath, looked at him condescendingly, and asked, “Are you done?”“Yes. It’s your turn to give me an explanation,” Morgott said angrily, ready to start a fight.James looked at Morgott and smiled. “You want to settle accounts? Reward for merit and punish for faults, right? Alright, let’s do it.“I remember us being enemies when we first met. Your fragmented
James stared at Morgott and said, “I’ll give you time to think about it. It might be hard to figure it out with your intelligence, so you should ask your wife for help.”Morgott raised his head solemnly and replied, “That won’t be necessary! I can make my own choice! Now that I have Harper, I don’t care about the Xanadu Realm. However, I must still have my revenge and restore my dignity!”James squinted at his response. Morgott had always come across as humorous, impulsive, and bloodthirsty. However, he was showing a completely different side of himself at that moment. Under his funny and brutal exterior, he had endured many sufferings and hardships.Staring at Morgott, James waved his hand and teleported Harper into the Historia Palace. Then, he sat cross-legged and summoned a jar of Chaos Absinthe before Morgott. Naturally, he took out another jar for himself and began to drink.Simultaneously, a grand formation surrounded them.After being momentarily stunned, Morgott quickly u
Many things did not need to be said aloud. A single action or gaze was enough to make everything clear. With this in mind, James took another large gulp of wine. Then, he asked, “What did you just say? I need to set rules and establish a hierarchy for the Haleth Realm?”“Isn’t that necessary?” Morgott looked at James puzzled.James shook his head and chuckled, “Rules are essential, but they’re not for the Haleth Realm. They are meant to restrain the deities. The hierarchy is also crucial to promote, reward, and punish them.”Morgott looked at James as if he were insane and asked, “And what about the Greater Realms’ living beings? Don’t you need to oversee them too? Without rules, won’t there be complete chaos?”James laughed. “They haven’t accepted me as the Supreme Path, so why should they submit to me? What right do I have to decide their fate?”Morgott gasped and asked, “Then, what’s the point of becoming the Supreme Path? How will the Greater Realms’ living beings live with or
James returned to the mysterious space after a flash of divine light.Frona tilted her head, looking at him with interest.“The first deity of the Haleth Realm wasn’t given to your wife, children, or closest friend, but to Harper?”James met her gaze and asked, “Do you have any objections?”Frona shook her head and replied, “No. It’s a stopgap measure, but it will become a huge problem in the future.”James said solemnly, “You’re wrong. I am not wary of my close friends and don’t need to scheme against them.”Frona said with a smile, “Is that so? Then who are you keeping the five Treasures of Nothingness for?”James frowned, annoyed at Frona’s ability to see through his thoughts. However, he was helpless against her.Frona stared at him and said, “Every deity will have their own opportunity and fortune. True strength can’t be achieved by grace. Moreover, you still haven’t made a decision about your wife.”James’ face darkened. “I appreciate your help, Your Divinity. I can retu
James frowned as two dazzling lights flashed before him, revealing two mysterious old men, one in black and the other in white.The old man in the black robe had white hair, a long white beard, kind eyes, and an aura of serenity. Meanwhile, the other old man in the white robe had black hair, sword-like eyebrows, a fierce gaze, and an intimidating presence.The two old men bowed in unison and said respectfully, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Supreme Path.”James, puzzled, asked, “Who might you two be?”The old man in the white robe smiled. “I’m the Destiny Sect’s Left Envoy, Walen Dakiema.”The old man in the black robe said solemnly, “And I am the Taoist Right Saint Envoy, Karis Mauton.”James was still perplexed but quickly discovered their origins from Frona’s memories.Although the Destiny Sect was relatively simple, it had a clear hierarchical system. Their leader was naturally Frona, who held the Caeloros Supreme Scepter. Additionally, she was the leader of the Caeloros Gods
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
