“From emptiness emerges energy, and from this energy, the universe is born. The turbid part becomes the earth, while the clear part becomes the sky. The sky protects all living beings, and the earth nurtures all things. The balance of yin and yang achieves Dernaturae.As these profound words resonated through the void, the enormous black and white circle formed by the fusion of the Celestial Sages began to rotate, emitting a halo of colorful flames. It was clear they had chosen self-immolation out of despair.The scene deeply moved Yaretzi and Thea, who had ventured into invincibility to collect Soul Energy Balls. Outside the Tirta Grand Formation, Truett and Xitlaly were in agony, their hearts breaking at the sight. The war kings following the false James boiled with fury, eager to shatter the formation to fight the enemy. Even the false James was shocked beyond words, his eyes wide with fear. No one had anticipated that the Celestial Sages would remain so resolute and decisive in t
“Though the Greater Realms’ beings lack cultivation strength, they are united and can generate Spiritual Providence. That’s the unparalleled force of nature that will crush you!”The black-and-white circle erupted within the flames as the Celestial Sage’s words echoed.The black dragon that had besieged them roared and was swiftly engulfed by the immense explosion. The shockwave expanded, filling the Skynet headquarters and the Tirta Grand Formation with black-and-white energy. A fierce wind gusted, plunging everything into an abyss of darkness and fear.Truett and the others outside the Tirta Grand Formation were furious but powerless.Amidst the turmoil, James concentrated and discovered two energy balls—one green and one yellow. He swiftly gathered them into his space. However, as he searched for Yianni, he was alarmed to find he had vanished without a trace.He pondered, ‘Could Yianni have been killed in the explosion? That’s impossible. Yianni has mastered the Radiant Titanfo
Yaretzi gently pulled the furious Thea back. “James has his own reasons. You have to believe in him. In his position, many things are beyond his control.”Thea fumed, “If being the Supreme Path requires him to become ruthless and heartless, I’d rather…”Yaretzi interrupted her. “Was it his choice? Weren’t you the ones who pushed him into the role?”Thea stared at Yaretzi, stunned by her words. ‘She’s right. James never wanted to become the Supreme Path. Me, Lesia, Frona, and the circumstances pushed him into the role. What right do I have to blame him? Even so, Yianni disappeared after the Celestial Sages’ self-destruction. Whether he’s still alive or not is unknown. Everything happened because James altered my plan, making it his fault! Moreover, his silence toward my questions is also wrong!’Thea glared at James, then stepped back. At the same time, she pinched his lower back, nearly drawing blood, to vent her anger.James, however, did not respond.Just then, Truett and the o
For most creatures, positions and cultivation levels that seemed like distant dreams were easily within Truett’s grasp. Bathed in the radiant glory of his parents and the illustrious reputation of Skynet, he had never faced genuine hardships or the character-forming trials that others endured.Truett excelled in qualifications, wisdom, understanding, and righteousness beyond ordinary beings. However, he lacked the tempering fire of suffering and a determination forged through relentless hard work and perseverance. Even if it were born from revenge and hatred, it could transform him, allowing him to rise from the ashes, become decisive in his actions, and evolve into a formidable powerhouse.The trial was James’ gift to Truett after returning from Zymurgy. James had meticulously orchestrated the destruction of all of Truett’s support and planned the deaths of the Celestial Sages whom Truett admired the most. As the ruler of the Haleth Realm, James could easily restore everything that
Seeing Truett in such a state, James, hidden in the shadows, felt a trace of relief. Despite everything, Truett still believed in him. It wasn't out of naivety or ignorance. Truett understood the truth perfectly well but chose to trust him anyway.Truett was the young master of Skynet, and despite his noble birth and privileged upbringing, he never displayed arrogance. This was why James had high hopes for him, tested him strictly, and used drastic measures to inspire his transformation.As Truett carried Xitlaly away step by step, James slowly turned around, watching them go.James murmured, “What is a true friend? It means that everything you do has his most reasonable and understandable explanation.”Thea, who had also landed, snorted coldly, “You don’t feel guilty? You’re so shameless!”James asked, “Why should I feel guilty? You’re a woman and won’t understand the friendship between men!”Thea grabbed Yaretzi and said, “This bastard is talking about us. Let’s beat him up!”
The handsome man lowered his head shamefully. “Are you blaming me? Then I’ll return everything to you.”After a brief shock, the black-robed man laughed and pointed at the handsome man. “Now that you’ve become the Haleth Realm’s ruler, how can you still be so unruly? You haven’t changed your unrestrained personality.”James raised his head, looked at the black-robed man, and laughed.After a while, Yianni waved his hand and summoned several wine jars from one of the rotating universes.James quickly raised his hand, and a table with two chairs appeared in the void.“Drink before you speak.” Yianni slammed three jars of Chaos Absinthe in front of James.James laughed, “Isn’t this Chaos Absinthe? Do you feel sorry for me, or are you trying to make me drunk so I’ll blurt out everything?”Yianni urged, “Try it.”James stopped talking and opened a jar, immediately gulping it down.After emptying the jar, he felt a hot, cramping pain in his abdomen. Shortly after, a powerful force s
After examining Yianni closely, James picked up the wine jar again and finished its contents.Yianni watched him, waiting for a clear explanation. After a long time, James tossed the empty jar away and reached for the third one. As he was about to open it, Yianni pressed it down with his hand.The two locked eyes, their gazes filled with complex emotions. After a while, they shared a knowing smile and then simultaneously withdrew their hands.Yianni took his time, then said, “I’ll be leaving, but before that, I want to tell you something from my heart.”James shrugged and replied with a smile, “The greatest responsibility of a teacher is to answer their disciples' questions and solve their doubts. I’ve been waiting for a long time, and I am all ears.”Yianni took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and turned his back to James.“Since you’re already the ruler of the Haleth Realm, what new understanding do you have of Paths?”James replied calmly, “I don’t need to understand. Every m
James glanced at Yianni, letting the laughter wash over him. He didn't refute or get angry; instead, he became even more composed.After a moment, Yianni leaned in closer, his eyes narrowing slightly. “You've become the Haleth Realm’s ruler, but the Supreme Path Radiance only covers the Zymurgy and doesn't extend into the Greater Realms. You've neglected your foundation.“I know you're trying to build a righteous force distinct from the Waitara Path. You've been cautious about who to trust, subjecting even your closest friends to harsh tests. However, you've overlooked the fact that the Waitara Path’s Reincarnation Soremsia is hiding within the Greater Realms. His cunning tactics could easily make your foundation crumble, fracturing or completely destroying it.“A catastrophe like the one at Skynet’s headquarters could break out at any moment, but it would be even more tragic, cruel, and bloody.”Yianni straightened up and continued, “Given your deep sense of loyalty, it will be ha
