Mordecai and Dillon exchanged glances and laughed. James had shown them mutual understanding and trust, which needed no words.Mordecai and Dillon valued faith and loyalty above all else, unlike the Waitara Path. These fundamental principles set them apart.Mordecai bowed to James and said, “I will await your orders in the Preston Region. The thirty-six unorthodox sects will follow your command without hesitation, even unto death.”Dillon laughed, “I’ll also be waiting for orders at Mount Zacharias. However, could you send some Chaos Absinthe with the messenger?”James nodded with a smile, then watched them transform into light beams and disappear.A moment later, Taiyi, Yasmina, Wesley, and Taichu, who had just been conferred with godhood, landed beside James.Taiyi asked doubtfully, “Do you trust them that much?”Yasmina took a deep breath and added, “They’re like ticking time bombs. Even the Waitara Path was wary of them. Your position as the Supreme Path isn’t secure yet. If
Hearing James’ words, the deities looked at each other in shock.They knew that James’ closest friends, who had faced countless dangerous situations with him, were among those listed. However, if even James was unsure, how could they provide any suggestions?After a while, Wesley asked, “Do you intend to settle the Forty-Ninth Heaven’s affairs first, or do you want to address Zymurgy and the Greater Realms all at once?”James sat cross-legged in the void and answered, “Let’s start with Zymurgy. I’ve been away from the Greater Realms for too long and need to inspect the place personally again.”Wesley nodded and said, “According to their destiny scrolls, these individuals are qualified. The question is what their titles will be.”Raising his head, Wesley asked, “If we keep them all in the Forty-Ninth Heaven, what about the Forty-Eighth Heaven and below? We can’t leave them without a deity to guard them.”The other three deities nodded in agreement.Taichu suddenly said, “Marius s
Yasmina carefully examined Yianni’s destiny scroll and said solemnly, “Strange. With his birth, early life experiences, and entry into his cultivation path unclear, you must be cautious with him—even if he were your biological parent, let alone your master.”Taichu took a deep breath and said, “Yianni is one of the Greater Realms’ greatest cultivation geniuses. Let’s hope that’s all there is to it.”After listening to their statements, James nodded thoughtfully. He was slightly uncertain about investigating Yianni’s background, but now he felt it was necessary after considering the other deities’ opinions.Even those he once admired most, like Emperor Jabari and Franciscus, had turned out differently than expected. He could not afford to be careless.After pondering for a while, James said, “I’ve already decided about Yianni. What about Emperor Cosimeon?”The four deities exchanged glances and said in unison, “He can’t become a god and should be executed.”James was utterly surpr
Here is the proofread version of the text with improved flow and readability:---In the Thirty-Third Heaven, before a brand new black-and-white palace, Thea, Yaretzi, and Youcef appeared after three lights flickered.“What are we doing here?” Youcef asked.Yaretzi also looked at Thea.“This is the new palace built by Yehria,” Thea said calmly. “At the same time, it’s where Waitara Path’s soul spirit used to hide. There should be many surprises inside.”Then, she went up the stairs and pushed out her palm. A burst of Hongrome Aura spread over the black-and-white light cluster. The palace's formation instantly broke.With a creak, the gate of the palace opened. Suddenly, countless light swords shot out from inside.Thea didn’t dodge. She reached out and clenched her fists. Immediately, the light swords shattered.“She’s still using that sinister tactic.”After that, Thea resolutely entered the palace.Upon seeing that, Youcef said, “She walked straight in. Isn’t she afraid th
Thea said calmly, “He wants to play Lights Off with me, but he doesn’t know I want to do the opposite.”“I-Is this Waitara’s Soremsia?” Youcef asked, widening his eyes.“Silly child,” Yaretzi said. “It’s Waitara Path’s soul spirit’s reincarnated soul boy.”She then pointed at the baby’s forehead. “Do you see that red mole? That’s the Historial Soul…”“No!” she suddenly frowned. “This Historial Soul isn’t complete. It’s only half. Is there another reincarnated soul boy?”“The Waitara Path’s soul spirit is deceitful. It separated the Yin and Yang,” Thea said seriously. “There’s still a reincarnated soul girl. She’s still being conceived in a mother’s body somewhere. If she is born, she will be more powerful than this baby.”When Youcef heard that, his expression grew serious. “We need to find her as soon as possible.”“Our efforts will be in vain if we don’t have a trace,” Yaretzi looked at Thea. “Make this baby cry. I can use his voice to find the girl.”“That’s right,” Youcef s
James looked at Yaretzi and Youcef kneeling before him. He quickly stepped forward and helped them up.“We know each other. There’s no need to be so polite.”“Did you really comprehend the Forty-Nine Daoisms and aim for the Supreme Path before becoming the Lord of the Haleth Realm?” Youcef asked excitedly. Then, he laughed. “Congratulations. The Haleth Realm is fortunate to have you!”Youcef was about to give James a hug when he was stopped by Yaretzi.“Youcef, how can you be so rude? Don’t you have any respect…”However, she didn’t expect James to extend his arms first and give Youcef a hug.Seeing that, Yaretzi was stunned.A while later, James let go of Youcef and patted him on the shoulder.“Your strength didn’t really improve. When can you defeat me?”Hearing that, Youcef scratched his head, a little embarrassed.“You’re already the Lord of the Haleth Realm. No matter how much I improve, I won’t be your match.”“You aren’t like the Youcef I know.” James shook his head.
“Not bad. I wondered why I couldn’t sense you under the sacred radiance of the Supreme Path.” With his arms behind his back, James walked around Thea. “It turns out you’ve cultivated the Hongrome Body and reached Consummation.“Thea, you’re insane. You’ve gone too far. Are you planning to sell me off and gain a large sum of money that’s difficult to count?”“No,” Thea responded diffidently.Then, she faced James’ sharp gaze and hurriedly lowered her head again, like a child caught making a mistake.“You’re a mother of several children. Why are you still so naive?” James looked at Thea. “Now that Waitara Path’s soul spirit is dead because of you, you and Frona are still thinking of pushing me higher.”Thea pouted and glanced up at James, unable to say anything.“Since you started to cultivate, who have you been afraid of?” James stared at Thea. “You’re bold and reckless. You’re always scheming and making arrangements for me. Why did you change after going to Frona?“Why did you d
Was it a trap?And was it specifically arranged by Waitara?Thea thought about it. The appearance of the Leere Soul-Detection Compass was enough to cause a life-and-death battle in the Xanadu Realm, let alone the Haleth Realm.Based on Waitara’s character and greed, even if he reincarnated, he would hide such a treasure or store it in a place he believed was the safest. How could it be found so easily?It was on purpose. Upon thinking that, Thea shuddered.Then, she stared at James. “How did you notice it?”James gazed at Thea deeply. With his hands behind his back, he turned around.“We have both experienced great storms and died many times. Didn’t you notice that we seem to be pushed by some kind of power, as if everything had been arranged?“From the ancient martial world to Celestial Abode, from the planes to the Dark World, and then to the Genesis Worlds and Zymurgy, as well as the Haleth Realm.“Even though I’ve comprehended the Forty-Nine Daoisms and become the Lord of
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
