Over the years, James had come to understand the truth.He would have to get stronger if he did not want to get beaten.It was the eternal truth. He left the Energy Pool where Xavia was cultivating and headed to a mountain in the island’s most central region.It was the highest point and gave him a view of the entire island.“James…”A voice suddenly came from the Celestial Abode. Only James could hear it as it came telepathically.James asked, “What’s wrong?”“This place seems off.”Sophie’s voice sounded in his mind.Confused, James asked, “Hmm? Is there something strange about it?”At that moment, Sophie stood at the City Lord’s Mansion in the Celestial Abode. Since the Celestial Abode was on James, she could sense and see the surroundings from inside the mansion.After scanning the surroundings for a while, she said, “Have you not noticed? There are thirty-three mountains on this island. The layout of these mountains is in a very profound formation. The Energy Pool i

Sophie did not feel proud about being praised by James. Instead, she said lightly, “Although the formation is profound to you, it’s nothing to me. It’s a very simple trick to deceive the eye.”“Still, you’re very impressive!”James had a lot of admiration for Sophie.Until now, he still had no idea what Sophie’s cultivation rank was. The only thing he was sure about her was that she was very powerful.“Huff.” Sophie heaved a sigh.“We’re in the greatest era of history, but it’s also one of the darkest ages. Whatever will happen in the future is unpredictable.”Sophie went silent after saying that.At that moment, those who chased after Dead City returned. Not only did they not catch up with Dead City, but they also missed their opportunity to cultivate in the Energy Pool.Yerick and Xavia immediately left the area with their subordinates.Meanwhile, James followed Marcello and Jace away from the glowing Pacific Ocean.…As soon as they returned to Sol, Marcello returned

James did not expect the providence to appear so soon.He had traveled to Bane City to inquire about the providence that would appear after the First Calamity. Afterward, he planned to train in seclusion within the Time Chamber for some time to improve his strength to compete for the providence.Unexpectedly, the providence appeared just as he arrived on Mount Bane.At that moment, light rays were bursting out from Mount Bane. Not only that, but numerous light rays were bursting out from all over the earth, and many unknown regions concentrated with Empyrean Spiritual Energy appeared.James asked, “Ms. Sophie, is the providence here? What’s the providence that appears after the calamity? Why are so many Outsiders so eager to obtain it?”In his mind, Sophie's voice sounded. “I don’t know what the providence is. However, it’s definitely very extraordinary. It should appear in a few more days because the Empyrean Spiritual Energy on Earth is just beginning to rise. It will emerge whe

James stayed in Bane City for three days.At dawn, there was a heaven-and-earth vision.An illusory gate appeared in the sky above Bane City. On the gate, there were a few words.In the past few days, James had been cultivating in the courtyard. He noticed the illusory gate as soon as it appeared. He stared at it for a while but could not read the words floating on it.They were very mysterious ancient words.They seemed to be alive and kept changing.Soon, Marcello, Jace, and some of the Demon Race’s strong men appeared.James walked toward Marcello and asked, “Look over there. That illusory gate just appeared and is connected to the seal in the sky. There are some words on the gate. Can you read the words?”Before Marcello could answer, Jace replied, “I can read it.”James looked at Jace and asked, “What do they mean?”“Space-Time Portal.”Shocked, James asked, “Space-Time Portal? What exactly does that mean?”Jace shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. If I’m not wrong

After entering the Space-Time Portal, James arrived at the Provenance.After hearing the explanation, he had a clearer picture of the place.The Provenance allowed them to travel to the beginning of time when the world was first created so that they could discover the ultimate secret of the world. As for the purpose and benefit of it, James was still clueless.He glanced at the area, but it was desolate.James descended from the sky and landed in the mountain forest. Golden light burst forth from the ring on his finger, and the ring fell to the ground, transforming back into the Celestial Abode. James walked into the Celestial Abode.Then, the Celestial Abode shrank and submerged into the soil.No one would find the Celestial Abode even if they passed through the area.James, Nova, and Sophie gathered in the backyard of the Celestial Abode’s City Lord’s Mansion.James explained how he had entered the Space-Time Portal and arrived in the Provenance. He looked at both of them and
