James did not expect to need 400,000 soldiers.His initial plan was to send all these 100,000 soldiers to the Time Chamber to speed up their cultivation.Now that they needed 300,000 more people, the Time Chamber would not have enough space.“Ms. Sophie, I wanted the soldiers to practice in the Time Chamber. Now that we have three hundred thousand more people, would it be possible for all of them to train in there?”James expressed his concerns.Sophie said with a smile, “Nothing is impossible. I read from Time Avenue’s Inscription and roughly understood some of the rules. I can probably arrange a Time Formation. Although I can’t adjust the passage for one month within the formation to be a day outside, I can at least achieve a few days in the formation to be one day outside.“Roughly understood?”James was rendered speechless.Somehow, he felt like Sophie was slightly unreliable.“Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.” Sophie reassured him.For now, James could only place his trust in
James immediately understood the meaning behind her words.He did not comfort her and just smiled awkwardly. Then, he changed the subject. “I’ll find a way to get enough funds as soon as possible. We don’t have much time left and must complete Wyrmstead’s developments quickly. By the way, how’s the food reserves going?”Quincy sighed softly.After she sorted out her emotions, she said, “Everything is still under preparation. In the past few years, Wrymstead has united with Sol to promote agriculture. With the recovery of Empyrean Spiritual Energy on the earth, agricultural products of all kinds have been grown in large quantities. Our country’s current grain reserves will be enough to feed three hundred million people for ten years.”“That’s not enough. It’s far from enough.”James said, “Food is the basics for humanity’s survival. No one knows what will happen in the future. We must have enough reserves to get through unexpected crises.”Quincy nodded. “Alright, I’ll pay more at
After having dinner with James, Quincy left. James caressed his cheek that was kissed and sighed. Then, he turned to leave. At the moment, he needed money to ensure the smooth construction of Dragonville. Now, currency all over the world was worthless. Hence, many countries had begun using gold as a new form of currency. James thought about the treasure buried by Blake Davis. The treasure was Blake’s fortunes amassed over the decades after he formed an assassin organization. As the treasure was mainly in the form of gold, Dragonville should be able to last quite some time if James could acquire them. Hence, he met up with Blake and discussed matters with him. Hearing James’ request, Blake immediately sent men to unearth the treasure in Sol. After the matter was resolved, James left at night and headed to Mount Jade. By the time he arrived, it was already the next morning. Upon arriving at the foot of Mount Jade the next morning, James immediately attracted the attention o
That was because he had lived the longest on Earth. As such, the chances of him possessing the four keys were high. There was no doubt the Overworld Outsiders knew about that. “Mhm.” James took the four keys. The Omniscient Deity looked at James and asked, “What do you plan to do next?” James said, “Thea has brought Winnie back to Cansington. All these years of wandering about have prevented me from spending quality time with my family. Since we’re at peace and the Overworld Outsiders won’t be up to their deeds for now, I plan to return to Cansington and spend some time with my child.” “Sure,” the Omniscient Deity said. “You’ve worked hard over the past few years. It’s time for you to take a break.” James looked at the Omniscient Deity. Based on his initial thoughts, he would annihilate the Overworld Outsiders in Hazted City and occupy Hazted City straight away. However, the Omniscient Deity was worried that they would incur the wrath of the Overworld once the seal was un
The Overworld was the first world within the Sealed Realms. At the moment, an old man was sitting on a wooden chair before a wooden house in the Overworld. He was the greatest of the Overworld and the Son of Heaven’s master. As the creator of the Four Seasons Sword Art, he went by many titles. At times, he was called the Supreme Four Seasons. Sometimes, he was known as the Four Seasons Man. At that moment, a twenty-five-year-old-looking man was standing before him. He was wearing a grey robe, and he had a sword on his back. “The Son of Heaven’s soul lamp has extinguished. He has passed on.” The Supreme Four Seasons spoke. Enraged, he said, “I don’t know what he experienced on Earth, but he’s my most beloved disciple. Magnus, I sense that a great providence will soon appear on Earth. Besides, the seal is showing signs of loosening. When that happens, you can head over to Earth without any obstacles. “I’m sending you to Earth to seize the four keys and investigate the Son o
The geniuses who would soon appear greatly overshadowed men like the Son of Heaven and Tristen Hazted. James also knew nothing about the incoming First Calamity. At the moment, he was on a plane heading to Cansington. After the plane landed in the military region of Cansington, he got off the plane, left the military region, and hurriedly made his way to the Callahans’ residence. However, the moment he left the military region, a woman blocked his path. The woman had her back to James. She was wearing a white dress and had long black hair. As she turned, James recognized her immediately. He hurriedly walked over to her and asked, “Ms. Custodian, what brings you here to Cansington?” The woman was none other than the custodian of the Chamber of Scriptures. She looked at James and said, “I came here to tell you something.” “Feel free to speak your mind.” James looked at the custodian with a serious expression on his face. “We’ll talk about it as we walk.” The custodian t
The custodian brought bad news: The First Calamity would soon descend on Earth and cause great destruction to humans. Billions would perish. James was at a loss. He had no idea what Earth would become after the First Calamity. Then, he headed to the Callahans’ residence. Before he even entered the house, he could hear the sound of people happily chattering away. They were having lunch. He rang the doorbell. Soon, someone answered the door. It was Tommy. Upon seeing James, he froze before collecting himself. “Y-You’re back, James. Please come in.” “Grandpa, Thea, James is back.” Tommy’s voice boomed. Everyone stood up. Upon entering the house, a young girl ran toward James and hugged his leg, cheering merrily, “Daddy, you’re back!” It was Winnie. Now seven years of age, she had grown taller. Although James seldom returned home, Winnie knew what her father looked like. Thea walked over to him and said with a smile, “You’re back.” “Mhm.” James nodded. Putti
“Mhm.” James nodded. Just as he stood up and was about to enter the room, a rain droplet dripped from the roof onto his face. Instinctively, he raised his hand and wiped the droplet off his face. However, upon wiping his face, he froze. His palm was black. “A-A black rain droplet?” Wearing a sullen expression, James raised his head and looked at the pitch-black sky. “Has the day finally come?” Rumble! Lightning struck, and thunder roared. Pitter-patter! Rain poured from the sky. However, the raindrops were black. Eerily, when the rain made contact with the ground, it seemed to have eroded the soil. The soil gave off a pungent smell. “What?” Thea was stunned. Feeling her face, she realized that there were also water droplets on her skin. She could clearly see that the droplets were black in color.Even as a powerful martial artist, she could feel the corrosiveness of the rain. “Darling, has the First Calamity arrived?” “Mhm.” James nodded grimly. “Th
