The leader of the Theos District was deemed the second most powerful cultivator in all of Endlosʼ Nine Districts. By using the chessboard, the man could make predictions about the future. He could even use it to control or influence a person’s actions. For instance, even the battle between Waleria and Yvan was the work of the old man. However, something unexpected happened for the very first time. ‘When I placed the piece representing James Caden on the board, it shattered and destroyed the board almost instantly. I have no control over the incidents happening at the moment, and I can’t tell what Waleria’s final fate will be. ‘I couldnʼt even look into the future of the Theos District or the Endlosʼ Nine Districts. All of this happened because of James Caden’s appearance,’ the old man thought. Partholon had an inkling of what the old manʼs words meant since he was aware of the chessboard’s extraordinary functions. He had a worried expression on his face. “What should we do

Waleria felt extremely confused. She could not discern Yvanʼs purpose for doing all this no matter how hard she tried. Yvan had taken a seat in a chair placed on the podium. His gaze drifted across the members of the Daemonium Sect before him. Yvan could also sense the aura of countless cultivators waiting outside the Daemonium Palace. Most of these cultivators had reached the Caelum Acme Rank whereas only a small fraction of them were Terra Acme Rank cultivators. Eventually, Yvan directed his gaze at Waleria. His face broke into a smile. “Waleria, you can tell us now where the Yhala Realm is, right?” Waleria had decided to share the information about the Yhala Realmʼs location early on. It would do her no good to withhold the information since the Daemonium Sect might decide to kill her if she refused to cooperate. “It’s somewhere outside the Theos District,” Waleria replied. “Lead the way.” Yvanʼs smile broadened. Waleria nodded, albeit reluctantly. Then, she guided Zel

After pausing for a moment to think, James decided to enter the Yhala Realm. ‘Even if the Daemonium Sect is really up to something, I have the Ancestral Blood Masterʼs phantom with me. The phantom can easily take on the deputy sect leader of the Daemonium Sect, Zeloneth. It is my trump card for ensuring my safety.’ James thought. James focused his gaze on the door. Then, he headed into the realm along with the other cultivators. As soon as he stepped into the realm, James noticed that his surroundings had changed completely. He and the other cultivators had arrived at a plain. Instead of the quiet and vast Endlos Void, James could see a picturesque, green landscape and mountains around him. James tried to examine the new environment using his senses. To his surprise, James detected the presence of a Heavenly Path. ‘This place doesnʼt feel like a man-made, artificial world. Normally, a realm created by any cultivator may contain Paths within them. However, Heavenly Paths do no

Zeloneth was an impressive cultivator. Moreover, he was second in command in the Daemonium Sect. Almost everyone in the Daemonium Sect vied for his position. However, only Zeloneth knew about the reality of his situation. All along, Yvan did not see him any different from the other followers. ‘I donʼt even know what Yvan is planning to do in the Yhala Realm…’ Zeloneth fretted. “You shouldnʼt be asking for information you’re not entitled to.” Yvan cast his gaze in Zelonethʼs direction. Then, he waved his hand dismissively. “You can leave now.” “Understood.” Zeloneth kept his head lowered as he turned to face the door. As he lifted his gaze again, his expression had hardened. A vicious, menacing light glinted in Zelonethʼs eyes. After Zeloneth had left the hall, Yvan morphed into thick, black smoke and traveled out of the main hall. Soon afterward, the smoke could be seen moving toward a mountainous area that was heavily shrouded in white mist. Yvan reformed his body in fro

After a brief pause, James asked, “Waleria, a large-scale battle broke out in the past when numerous cultivators sensed the presence of the Chaos District. Do you happen to have any information regarding the incident?” Waleria pondered for a bit. “Actually, our cultivators detected the presence of the Chaos District twice in the past. A fierce battle took place the first time the Chaos District was detected. However, the second battle wasnʼt as intense when the same thing happened again.” “What happened during the first battle?” James knew that the battle between people here and those from the Chaos District had happened twice so far. ‘The second battle most likely happened during the rise of the Space Race, eventually leading to their downfall as well. ‘The second Sky Burial happened at a relatively smaller scale since the number of unrivaled powerhouses that existed during that period was much lower.’ James thought. Waleria shook her head. “I donʼt know much about the fir
