“I’ll go with you.” Thea was concerned about the Callahans’ safety as well. They were family, after all. Now that her family was in danger, she could not simply sit idly by. James stopped her in time and said, “Don’t worry, Thea. The baby is due in two months. You shouldn’t be running around. Stay here and rest well. I promise I’ll be back soon.” “You should hurry, James. Any later and everyone might be killed!” David said anxiously. Upon hearing this, Thea furrowed her eyebrows. She was lost in thought. She could not understand why something like this would happen at such a critical moment. Was it merely a coincidence? “Don’t worry, Thea, everything will be fine.” James grabbed Thea’s hand and consoled her, “You know how powerful I am, don’t you? Even if I have yet to cross into the ninth rank, I can face off against a Half-Saint.” “I’m not worried about your safety,” Thea said anxiously. “I know your strength, of course. I’m just concerned about the timing of all this.

Sky’s breakthrough shocked Omniscient Deity. Back then, it took him a century to finally cross into the ninth rank. Meanwhile, Sky only needed a couple of years to accomplish that. The Dragon Essence and the dragon’s blood were indeed good stuff. Looking at Sky with a composed look on his face, he asked, “Why are you here at Mount Jade when you’re supposed to be in Tacriyrus?” “Master, I have come to challenge you,” Sky said calmly. The Omniscient Deity was not surprised. He had watched Sky grow. Sky was an extremely ambitious and power-hungry man. He wanted to stand at the very top of the power pyramid. Meanwhile, as Sky’s master, he was an uncrossable obstacle in his path to greatness. To become the most powerful individual in the world, Sky would have to defeat him first. “Very well…” The Omniscient Deity nodded slightly and said, “Since you insist, I’ll allow you to challenge me. The battle will take place on Mount Kirkton in a week.” After he said that, the Omniscient

James’ gaze was fixed on Delainey. She was wearing a red vintage dress and flowers embroidered with beads on her head. Her features were fine and delicate, and her skin was fair and smooth. Holding a sword in her hand, the charisma she exuded accentuated her beauty. At that moment, the rest of the Mount Thunder Sect walked over to James. Their gazes were fixed on James. When James retreated into the mountains three years ago, word of his life of seclusion spread all across the world. He was the youngest and most brilliant martial artist there was, so any news that concerned him would spread like wildfire. Then there was Thea. Though she was an ordinary woman at the beginning, she became one of the most powerful individuals in a year. It would be impossible not to garner any attention. James looked at Simon and greeted him respectfully, “Simon…” “Mhm.” Simon nodded slightly before looking at Thea and Callan, greeting them both. “Hmph!” Thea grunted. Back in the Mount Thu

“Mhm.” Thomas nodded. “Maxine, why did you leave the Caden household and establish Floret Palace?” Thomas questioned. Maxine lowered her head and spoke in a soft voice, “I-I was bored and wanted to find something else interesting to do. That’s why I established Floret Palace. However, after establishing it, I realized that life is even more boring now.” As she said that, she lifted her head and looked at Thomas, asking, “By the way, have you seen James over the past three years? Since you founded the state of Japura, I assume that James is currently helping you out.” Hearing this, Thomas sighed. He tried convincing James to join him three years ago. However, James turned down his offer. “I have not seen James since we parted ways three years ago.” “What?” Stunned, Maxine said, “No way! As your grandson, he should be helping you out after you established Japura. I even thought that he’d have a high position in Japura.” “Ha… It’s a long story…” He was speechless when it c

Regardless, James wholeheartedly accepted their wishes. They gathered and conversed. Langston suddenly asked, “By the way, since you retreated into the mountains, why have you decided to leave seclusion? What do you plan to do next? Why don’t you come to Lothian?” Langston extended an invitation to James. “Although Lothian is still far off from equalling Sol, I have an unlimited lifespan. As long as Lothian continues to develop for a few more decades or even centuries, it will surely become one of the most powerful nations in the world. In the near future, it could also be the only superpower in the world.” Langston was originally of noble birth. However, he was defeated in a power struggle a millennium ago. To stage his comeback, he began courting many powerful martial artists. However, as he reached the pinnacle of his power, he sensed the presence of the Omniscient Deity. Fearful of his strength, he faked his death and lived a life of seclusion for a millennium. Currentl
