“The Ultranaturals? How powerful could they be to be called that?The Earthlings found it hard to imagine. They only knew that a grim future awaited them.Conrad fell silent.James, on the other hand, did not ask further questions. He simply sat in a lotus position on the ground and healed his injuries.Everyone else followed suit as a tense silence descended upon the area.As they treated their injuries, their gazes were fixed on the tree before them, anticipating the berry to ripen.The berry was magical, so its growth speed was unparalleled. After a day passed, the flower withered, and a bud appeared.Everyone was stunned. Under normal circumstances, a bud would only appear after its flowers had bloomed for over a month. Now, only a day had passed. This was simply unbelievable.They waited patiently for a week.A week later, purple berries gradually appeared on the tree. They were the size of a fist, and their appearances were not that much different from apples. Not only t
He counted the number of berries silently. There were thirty in total. If Conrad took twenty and Juniper six, only seven would remain for the Earthlings. How would that be sufficient? James thought about it and said, “Let’s fight, then.” Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him. James continued, “Let’s hold a martial arts tournament. If you win the crowd’s respect and no one wishes to challenge you, you will receive one berry. Each participant is only entitled to a single berry. How does that sound?” James knew that some of Conrad’s subordinates were comparatively weaker. If they agreed to his terms, they would only receive a few berries. Meanwhile, only Juniper and Kay among the Void Sect would obtain the berries. “I agree,” Thomas said. “Me too.” “No problem at all.” The earthlings nodded in agreement. “I don’t!” Conrad yelled, “Why do I have to enter a martial arts tournament? As one of the strong, I should gain more benefits. I won’t stand in your way if
Juniper only collected two berries. After all, everyone’s gaze was fixed on her. Holding two berries in her hand, she turned to leave reluctantly. Now, only twenty-one berries remained. “I only need ten,” Langston looked at the crowd and said. “This is inappropriate, I’m afraid.” Sky stepped forward and said. He remained silent earlier because he believed himself to be unworthy to speak before Conrad. Now, Langston intended to have ten berries for himself. Considering that the members of the Blood Race, James, Thomas, and a few others had yet to obtain one, he would not be able to obtain even a single berry if he continued to remain silent. Thomas chimed in, “Indeed, this is inappropriate. Every ninth rank here must obtain at least one berry.” Thomas was standing up for himself. If he allowed Langston to pluck ten berries, there might not be any left for him. The other Earthlings voiced their thoughts as well. Even the Blood Race and the Polaris Sect accused Langston of
After thinking for a brief moment, the Grand Patriarchs accepted the terms. After all, two berries were better than none. Following that, the distribution process went smoothly. The three Grand Patriarchs of the Polaris Sect received two berries, whereas Thomas, Tobias, Lucjan, and Sky each obtained one. Soon, no berries remained. Those who had yet to cross into the ninth rank received nothing. Although they were dismayed, they did not complain. If anything, it was their fault for being too weak and powerless to do anything. James held the berry in his hand as he embraced its warmth. The berry was the size of a fist and glimmered a purple light. Transparent and crystal-clear, he could also vaguely see the purple light darting about inside the berry. It was simply mysterious and magical. “It smells so good…” James sniffed the berry. He was tempted to swallow the berry whole, but he knew that this was not a place for a closed-door meditation. James planned to return to th
The earthlings were significantly disadvantaged this time because they were not strong enough. If they could intimidate Conrad, he would not have taken five berries. James’ desire to become more powerful grew increasingly stronger. Then, he left Mount Bane alongside Thea and returned to the Southern Plains. Soon, they returned to the Southern Plains. The reconstruction of Dragonville had begun in earnest. Over six months of construction, Southern Plains City was demolished, and Dragonville Palace was completed. Now, many skyscrapers were erected from the ground up. There were also underground buildings designed for the apocalypse. After briefly checking on the construction progress, James left and headed toward Mount Thunder Pass. He planned to enter a closed-door meditation there. After absorbing the Phoenix Essence, he would then absorb the mysterious berry. After a few days of closed-door mediation, a person appeared at Mount Thunder Pass. It was the Omniscient Deity.
Upon hearing this, James’ curiosity was piqued. He asked, “Lord Omniscient, what exactly happened on Earth in the distant past?” The Omniscient Deity shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. I know little about the seal and the ancestors of mankind.” Upon hearing this, James did not pursue it further. At Mount Tai in Sol… Mount Tai was the most prominent mountain in Sol. This was a place that held a special significance in history. So, every previous Emperor would choose this place to offer sacrifices to heaven. “Mount Tai?” Upon arriving at the foot of Mount Tai, James momentarily froze before asking, “Lord Omniscient, is the Chamber of Scriptures located at Mount Tai?” “Mhm.” The Omniscient Deity nodded and said, “Based on my master’s information, I searched Mount Tai and found the Chamber of Scriptures.” James asked, “Since we’re here, should we inform the Mount Tai Sect?” The Omniscient Deity shook his head and said, “The Mount Tai Sect knows nothing about
Based on the information left behind by the Omniscient Deity’s master, the Chamber of Scriptures was left behind by mankind’s ancestors for their future descendants. This place was full of invincible martial art skills. However, no matter how hard James and Thea searched, they could not find anything. Not only that, but they could not even locate the entrance to the second story. James inspected every corner of the story. After failing to locate the entrance to the second story, James looked at the Omniscient Deity and said, “It appears that we won’t be able to obtain the martial art manuals.” Pensive, the Omniscient Deity scanned his surroundings. “This shouldn’t be…” He was puzzled. This was the Chamber of Scriptures mentioned by his master. But why were there no martial art manuals here? Could it be that James and Thea were not the fated ones? He had watched them grow. The two were the youngest and strongest amongst their earthling peers, not to mention that they pos
Fwoosh! An illusory afterimage gradually materialized. Though the appearance of the figure could not be discerned, they could tell that the figure was a woman. “Mount Springcastle?” The figure pointed at the Omniscient Deity and asked, “Are you a disciple of the Telepathic Master of Mount Springcastle?” “Yes.” The Omniscient Deity asked respectfully, “Are you a custodian of the Chamber of Scriptures?” “That’s right, I’m a custodian of the Chamber of Scriptures.” Though the figure spoke in a melodious tone, her voice was ice-cold. The Omniscient Deity hurriedly asked, “What is the meaning of this? Why have you trapped her?” “This is a holy site of mankind. The Demonic Energy she exudes is far too overwhelming. If not for the human aura she exudes, I’d have turned her to ashes.” “I…” The Omniscient Deity was at a loss for words. James, on the other hand, stared at the illusory figure before him. He was puzzled. Who was this person? Upon hearing Thea’s excruciating
