Bruce was incredibly strong. In the Twelfth Universe, he would be considered practically invincible. Even the injured Ursa stood no match against him. However, his strength was unremarkable in the Greater Realms. He could not even overpower a city under the jurisdiction of the Soul Race. The powerhouses from the Soul Race attacked him together, and a fierce battle broke out outside of the city, causing massive destruction to the surroundings.While the battle raged on, James had snuck into the Hopeless City. Unfortunately, the city was still heavily guarded inside. Thus, he moved carefully and found a place to lay low for the time being.James found a manor that had been abandoned for a long time. The manor’s yard was relatively small and only spanned a little over 1,000 square meters. The former owner of the place was a rogue cultivator who had no sect or family. He lived in the Hopeless City but died at the hands of his enemies. After his death, the Hopeless City repossessed the

Dahlia had been out for three days acquiring information about her people’s whereabouts. She was discouraged to find out that they were held captive by their enemies. In these circumstances, she knew was nigh impossible to rescue Karglain, Bruce, and the others.She fell silent, but sadness clouded her fair features.James looked at her misty eyes, shook his head, and reassured her, “Don’t worry. I’m going to help and will try my best to save them.”From Dahlia’s sorrowful expression, James could tell how much suffering the humans had endured all this time. Dahlia looked at James earnestly, he was her only hope now.“You should rest first. I’ll head out for a walk.”After James finished speaking, he got up and strode out of the courtyard house. He proceeded to head to the lively city streets. The Hopeless City was thriving and full of life. Many Soul Race families inhabited the spiritual mountains around the city. Aside from them were also other races who had chosen to move there.

The Space Race’s headquarters were based in Yeimiz. James and Dahlia quickly traveled toward the Space Realm. The Greater Realms’ structure was similar to the universe where James was from. They also had universes, stars, and galaxies. Eventually, they came across a spatial rift. From a distance, it looked like the space around it was sliced open by a powerhouse’s sword.Dahlia pointed at the rift and said, “That’s Yeimiz. It’s located in the centermost region of the Space Realm. Its proper name is Starry Yeimiz.”“I see.” James took in her explanation.The two advanced speedily. As they got closer, the spatial rift began to largen. Through the rift, James could see countless stars. Each star was massive in size and stored an abundance of energy from heaven and earth. It was a suitable place to live.The two arrived outside Starry Yeimiz.As he stood at its border, James could see thousands of galaxies. The view was spectacular and mesmerizing.Dahlia pointed to the centermost

Balchae stepped forward and straightforwardly introduced himself.James wore a stern expression and said tersely, “The Soul Race sure are overstepping their boundaries. Are you guys trying to take control of the Space Realm?”Flustered, Balchae answered hastily, “Sir, please let me explain. It’s not what you think. We discovered that the Space Race has been secretly conspiring with the Human Race, so we gathered an army to retaliate.”“I’ll investigate this matter myself. Seal your cultivation base immediately. I’ll bring you back to the Soul Race and ask their Lord for an explanation,” said James.“Y-Yes, Sir.”Balchae did not dare to refuse Youri’s order. Youri was the Doom Race’s Great Elder, even his master would tremble before him. Although Waspen had ordered him to grab a treasure, he could not care less about it now.Balchae immediately sealed his cultivation base. As soon as he complied, James smiled faintly. Masquerading as the Doom Race’s Great Elder was very useful, an

Through their simple conversation, James learned about the general history of the Space Race. He also learned about the Empyrean herb that had been left by a powerhouse of the Human Race long ago in the Space Race’s plantation. No one knew this human’s name, but there were records of him in the Space Race’s ancient books being addressed as the Holy Emperor.Unfortunately, the Empyrean herb in their plantation could not be consumed by the Space Race.Haestra sighed and said, “It was supposed to be good that a magical Empyrean herb was growing on our plantation. We wanted to wait for it to fully mature before contacting the Human Race's powerhouses. We were planning to hand it back to them. Unexpectedly, the Soul Race had set its eyes on it and sent an army to attack us. We’ve been defending against them for a while. We’ve suffered many casualties, and many of our remaining soldiers are injured.”“What kind of Empyrean herb is it? Could you bring me to see it?”James was curious abou
