Rubella lowered her head in deference to James, extending her hands before embracing Lyla. She instantly transformed into a light beam, vanishing into the Wohrdaemon Tower.Lyla, on the other hand, seemed sorrowful. It was as if she had many unspoken worries.Looking at Lyla, James instructed, “Lesia, return to the space for now.”“Another love-struck damsel,” Lesia remarked with a sigh and shook her head before returning to James’ soul space.Just as James was about to speak, Lyla interrupted him.“I’m not here for you. I came to see her,” Lyla explained, gesturing toward Thea.James replied solemnly, “She’s focused on cultivating right now. If you have a message for her, telling me will be the same.”Lyla shook her head and disagreed, “No, it’s not the same. It will have a great impact on my decision.”James sighed in resignation and said, “You…”Suddenly, Thea interjected, “It’s time we talked.”James turned to Thea surprisedly and rose to her feet.“Weren’t you cultivat
After Lyla spoke, she slapped her head decisively.A moment later, she trembled all over. However, her beautiful face was illuminated by an extraordinarily bright and relieved smile. Vast amounts of Genesis Power and Marciais Power surged forth, instantly filling the entire void.Boom!With a deafening explosion, Lyla self-destructed, and a powerful shockwave spread out. Thea was instantly knocked away.“Lyla, you silly girl…” Amid Thea’s hoarse cries, the void where Lyla had self-destructed gradually returned to calm. Her dispersed powers merged into the Wanith Tai Chi World.Lyla left nothing behind as if she had never existed."Lyla!" Thea slowly closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. She knelt in the void, overwhelmed with regret.Though she had not interacted much with Lyla, she knew quite a lot about her. Lyla was cold as ice, wise, capable, and, above all, loyal. Beneath her beautiful appearance was a heavy and conflicted soul.To her, James was a complicated
Lesia’s regretful voice resounded. “Sigh. Beautiful women are indeed a curse! Love sure can make one blind and torment one’s soul.”James retorted, “You speak as if you’re not a woman yourself.”Lesia responded proudly, “I am, but I would not act that way. Master, you have every right to express your reasons to Thea. She’s not a fool.“Lyla’s intense love for you attracted a tribulation for herself. Ultimately, she chose to end things in the most extreme way. It isn’t your fault. You can’t control another person’s affection.”James raised his head and took a deep breath. “Even so, people will say that she wouldn’t have fallen so deep if I hadn’t given her hope or rejected her early. Silence is allowing it to happen, which is betrayal. I’m a scumbag.”He hissed, “But she never expressed her feelings for me directly. Do I have to tell every woman close to me to stay away because I have a wife? Or to warn them not to fall for me, or else they will suffer?”Lesia burst into laughter.
James was consumed by a flurry of activity in the following years.First, he boldly decided to abolish his allies’ cultivation base and sent them into the three towers to be reborn through Nirvana.Next, he supported Yegor in establishing an extensive intelligence network that spanned the Greater Realms, even infiltrating the most remote corners of mortal planets. Their primary objective was to identify and monitor individuals with exceptional talents without directly interfering with their destinies. All gathered intelligence was meticulously cataloged at Skynet’s headquarters and kept as an essential database.This strategic initiative was important to James’ plan to quickly assemble an elite team. After all, his opponent was the entire Zymurgy.Subsequently, he orchestrated the relocation of the two prominent holy temples led by Zeux and Beatrice to the Great Historial Land. The Zazen, Shadow Yarrowvale, and Xephyr Temple were also migrated alongside. Ultimately, they collective
After a moment, James suddenly slapped his forehead and chuckled. “Stephen, Leuko, thank you.”Stephen chuckled. “We owe our lives to you, Master. We’re family. You don’t need to be so polite with us.”Leuko, standing aside, rolled his eyes and inquired, “Has Ms. Thea forgiven you yet, James?”James furrowed his brow, glanced back at Thea in the Forbidden Bloodshade, then shook his head with a rueful smile.Stephen looked at James and said, “We’re aware of what happened. If needed, we could revive Lyla—”James waved his hand to cut him off and sighed softly. “Let’s discuss this later. Don’t bring it up in front of my wife.”Stephen and Leuko exchanged glances, then nodded simultaneously.James frowned and said carefully, “I must make a trip to Zymurgy. We’re in the dark about the Fortieth Heaven. I should investigate a little and see if I can cultivate the Five Spirits.“As for my wife and children, I’ll entrust them to you for now. In the Great Historial Land, you’re invincible
In the Forty-Seventh Realm of Zymurgy, amidst the vibrant hues of a grand temple, enveloped in sacred light. Two flashes of light emerged, and a man and woman appeared.The man possessed a striking handsomeness, yet his messy hair and the ominous purple-red aura swirling around him hinted at a darker nature.His companion, draped in a flowing black robe and a veil of mystery, exuded elegance. Her long hair cascaded down, and her every movement held a captivating allure.It was none other than Morgott and Yehria who thought they had escaped from James.Since their escape to Zymuegy, they had disguised themselves and concealed their auras. With Yehria’s guidance, Morgott lifted 70 seals and fused them with his fragmented spirits. His Demonic Body had been cultivated to near perfection, and he had regained about eighty percent of his prime.Though they could not navigate Zymurgy with ease, their ambition remained unsatisfied.Standing together, they gazed upon the imposing plaque in
Morgott swiftly turned around and fixed his gaze toward Yehria's direction. Behind him was a pile of rubble, yet Yehria was nowhere to be found.Morgott called out, “Are you still alive, Yehria?” The demolished ruin trembled, and a figure emerged.Yehria coughed up blood, her hair unkempt, her complexion ashen, and her body cloaked in thick soil. Upon witnessing Yehria's disheveled appearance, Morgott erupted into laughter.Yehria brushed off the debris, and a swirl of black and white light enveloped her. She instantly restored her to a lady-like appearance.At that moment, she frantically scanned her surroundings, her expression a mix of anxiety and fury, before letting out a piercing scream.“Where is my innate Xyloria Tai Chi Axe? Did you pick it up?”Morgott frowned and shook his head. “I don’t have it. Why would I want it?”Yehria immediately appeared beside Morgott and stared at the Taishi Grand Temple in horror.“Could Taishi have taken it?” Morgott stared at the Tais
After a while, James bowed three times in a row. Just as he was about to take action, the temple’s door swung open.A multicolored divine light emerged from within the Taishi Grand Temple.Observing the unfolding spectacle, the handsome young man stood dumbfounded for a moment before ascending the staircase leading up to the temple. Each stride was deliberate until he reached the open temple door. With ease, he stepped inside, vanishing into the vibrant hues of divine light.A flash of colorful radiance engulfed the temple entrance, and the door was sealed shut, reverting to its original state.Only then did Morgott and Yehria cautiously emerge from their concealment among the ruins. They gazed at the Taishi Grand Temple with bewilderment.After a moment, Yehria asked angrily, “How did that brat waltz in so effortlessly?”Morgott’s eyes sparkled with admiration as he chuckled, “That’s James for you. Even Taishi has to show deference and open the doors for him.”Yehria shot him a
