That person was the Chamber of Scripture’s custodian.She witnessed everything that had happened at Floret Palace.A troubled expression flashed on her intangible face as she watched the area crumble to nothing.“Doing everything for the sake of your country and its people. You embody the spirit of the Earth’s ancestors, and the world needs people like you. If everyone were to fear death, the Earth would not have been sealed but destroyed.”The custodian spoke softly at a volume only she could hear.“Gather, soul fragments.”Her spectral hands suddenly moved, and a mysterious mark formed in the air.Then, an invisible force swirled out from her hands.The force spread across the land, converging at Floret Palace’s location.White specks of light appeared out of the ruins and floated into the sky, forming a translucent figure. The figure quickly left the area and flew toward Mount Tai.The figure moved rapidly and appeared at Mount Tai almost in the blink of an eye, appearing
James was a soldier.A soldier’s duty was to protect the country’s people.He developed this sense of responsibility after serving in the military for more than ten years. The world would be over if everyone shrank away from danger and refused to step up.“Well said.” The custodian nodded gently.She agreed with James’ words.In ancient times, there was a group of people with the same mentality. They were the reason Earth was saved. “Ms. Custodian, is there any chance I’ll come back to life?”James’ looked at the custodian with his translucent eyes. He was unwilling to accept his fate. There was so much more that he wanted to do, and even more that he had not accomplished yet.The custodian replied softly, “It’s possible. However, the responsibility and burden placed on you will be much heavier.”James replied determinedly, “I’ll do whatever it takes.”The custodian waved her hand, and James’ illusory body glided upwards.His vision went foggy. When he opened his eyes again
James thought for a while and said, “Is it the Outsiders from the Sealed Realm?”The custodian gently shook her head. “Forget it. You won’t understand even if I told you outright. We’ll save this for the future. I brought you here because I plan to use the Demonic Lotus to reconstitute your physical body.”“What?” James’ incorporeal mouth hung agape.He looked at the darkly glowing lotus before him and asked, “You’re going to use this lotus to remake my physical body?”The custodian nodded and said, “That’s right. Earth’s ancestors managed to obtain this lotus after much hardship. This is part of a greater plan, but I can’t tell you much about it at the moment. If I tell you too much at this point, it’ll end up further burdening your psyche. What I can tell you is that you’re about to receive a great opportunity along with good fortune.”She turned to look at the Demonic Lotus.“The lotus’ original owner was a powerful man whose strength was beyond anything you could imagine. Onc
Having been through Earth’s darkest hour, everything now was considered relatively peaceful to the custodian.James felt relieved since the custodian did not bring up anything in particular that happened outside, which meant things were still under control.“What do I have to do to be resurrected?”James eagerly looked at the custodian. He longed to be resurrected and walk out of this place alive.The custodian glanced at James and flicked her wrist. James felt his spectral form hover forward as it unsteadily moved toward the physical body on the ground.At that moment, a mysterious mark formed on the custodian’s hand.She chanted some words, and mysterious symbols entered James’ body one by one.About five minutes passed.James slowly opened his eyes after having entered the body on the ground.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful woman standing before him. Her alluring face was solemn as she quietly stared at James.James got up from the ground.“A-Am I alive
“Three years have gone by now... So, Winnie should be four years old by now.”James missed his daughter.He felt like an incompetent father.A despondent sigh escaped his mouth when the thought crossed his mind.Then, he left Mount Tai.He went to the closest city to Mount Tai, bought a mobile phone, and visited the online martial artist forum.He began browsing the forum for details on events that happened in the past three years. James started reading the articles from three years ago.After spending half a day going through the forum, he learned his desperate effort to kill Xain had failed. Xain was too powerful. Even though he used his potent signature martial art skill that destroyed both his body and soul, he still could not kill Xain.Fortunately, Xain was heavily incapacitated by James’ desperate bid.Afterward, Thomas led people and captured Xain alive.Thomas did not kill Xain and instead, locked him up.Xain was an important person. If they indiscriminately kill
The earth only had six years left.Six years later, an apocalypse would befall the earth.The current humans on Earth were incapable of preparing for the impending doomsday.One Overworld Outsider was enough to throw Earth’s inhabitants into despair. Once the seal opens, countless worlds, including the Overworld, would merge with Earth, marking the end of humanity.Moreover, only weaker Overworld Outsiders were able to enter Earth at the current stage. The stronger ones were still unable to pass through the seal to Earth.“The most pressing task right now is to eliminate the Outsiders that have appeared on Earth as soon as possible to buy a few more years for humans to advance.”An idea began to form in his mind.Achieving his plans would not be an easy feat.James was troubled by how to deal with Matias and Xain.From what he knew, there were at least five people on Earth whose cultivation bases were comparable to Xain.“How strong is my physical body?”James clenched his f
At that moment, everyone looked solemn.“What’s wrong? Why isn't anyone answering?”The group’s leader, Yechiel, said lightly, “Since there’s no reply, it looks like the only option is to kill all of you.”Swoosh!He drew his sword all of a sudden.No one was able to follow his moves after that. The fully armed guards around them fell to the ground in pools of blood after his Sword Light manifested.All of them died instantly.Wyrmstead's senior authorities were furious when they saw their nation's guards slaughtered so casually.Henry said coldly, “You have no right to act this brazenly in our territory!”A man behind Yechiel waved his hand, and a powerful force Henry over to them. The man grabbed Henry by the hair and slapped him ruthlessly.A red handprint instantly appeared on Henry’s tan face. His face soon swelled up and blood flowed from his lips. Then, he spurted out a mouthful of blood with several teeth.The man casually threw Henry to the ground and stepped on him
James detected the commotion in the palace and was furious.He walked toward the palace angrily.Dozens of corpses lay on the ground of the courtyard outside the palace house.These people were stabbed in the heart and killed with a single strike.Meanwhile, Henry, Delainey, Quincy, the Blithe King, and the others looked at Yechiel’s group with morose expressions.At that moment, Yechiel’s gaze was fixated on Quincy as he ogled her shamelessly. He looked at her voluptuous figure with satisfaction.“Attractive and mesmerizing. I think I’ll enjoy you first.”Yechiel walked over and lifted Quincy’s chin.Quincy wanted to resist, but her acupoints were sealed so she could not move.“What do you want, bastard?” she hissed at him.Slap!Yechiel swung his hand at her.“Didn’t you ask me to take it out on you, b*tch? Do you think I won’t hit you just because you’re a woman? To me, earthlings are nothing but garbage. You’re simply a plaything for me to kill time with.”A red palm
