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
The custodian knew that the greater one’s potential, the more terrifying one would be in the future after being contaminated by the Four Holy Beasts’ blood. She really wanted to kill Thea. However, Thea was one of the martial artists who possessed the greatest potential. It would only be humanity’s loss if she was killed. “Since her Demonic Energy is still weak, there are still ways to deal with it,” she murmured. Outside, James slashed at the door repeatedly like a madman. At that moment, the door opened, and a woman wearing a white dress walked out. The moment she appeared, a wave of Sword Energy struck her. However, the terrifying Sword Energy immediately dissipated upon making contact with her. James’ Sword Energy had no effect on her. She looked at James and the Omniscient Deity who was standing right outside. “Who the hell are you?” James yelled, “I don’t care who you are. Release Thea at once. Otherwise, I’ll tear you to pieces!” The woman walked over to James
The custodian thought about it and said, “In that case, follow me.” She turned and entered through the door, while the Omniscient Deity and James followed close behind. Though Thea was still confined in the cage, the blood within her body had calmed down. When she saw James after regaining consciousness, she cried out, “Darling!” She wanted to head over to his side. However, the moment she approached the cage, she unconsciously staggered backward as if jolted by a lightning bolt. “I…” James glanced at Thea before looking at the woman pleadingly, saying, “Could you release my wife?” The woman waved her arm, and powerful energy gathered in her palm. Then, in an instant, the cage disappeared without a trace. James was dumbfounded. What sorcery was this? Thea rushed over to James, who grabbed her hand. James looked at the woman and asked, “Does she really have to stay here?” The woman nodded grimly and said, “This is for her own good. By remaining here, I can purify the D
