Thea, on the other hand, was stunned by the revelation. She never thought there would be such a huge secret about the world they lived in.“James, your grandfather didn’t establish Lothian for himself. He understood that significant changes would occur on Earth once the seal was opened. All kinds of plants and animals would change as a result. “Moreover, the Sealed Realm isn’t just a singular place. There are many of them.“There are ferocious beasts within these Sealed Realms.“Once the seal is opened, these Sealed Realms will merge with the Earth. It’ll definitely be a disaster for the humans on earth. We, humans, will have to unite to deal with this future catastrophe.“James, your grandfather wants to establish a united country that is safe and peaceful to weather this apocalypse.“It’s why he helped kill the dragon three years ago yet didn’t take the Dragon Essence for himself. He wanted to improve the collective strength of Sol’s martial artists. “It’s true that he has a

However, he understood Sol would be in dire straits if this matter was not handled properly.“There are many matters to handle that require me to have the King’s authority. If I suddenly take action now, I know I’ll become a traitor to Sol’s people, and I'll need to bear the consequences of my actions... But in ten years, Soleans will appreciate what I’ve done for them.”“I believe everything you’re saying, but…”There was hesitation on Blithe King’s face.The Blithe King did not suspect James because of his lack of interest in the King’s position.If he really meant to usurp everything, James would have secured his position as the King of Sol four years ago and not waited until this day.James stood up and said, “I’ll give you time to think about it. For now, I’ll have to head to the Capital. Regardless of what happens next, I’ll discuss this matter with the old and new King first.”James stood up and left.After he left, the Blithe King’s expression grew grave.Immediately,

Lex looked at the people in the room and said, “Alright, everyone should leave now. Thea needs rest.”The Callahans left one after another.Soon, only James and Thea were left in the ward.Although Thea was a martial artist, she was still exhausted and soon fell asleep in her bed.James could not fall asleep and sat aside, watching the child absentmindedly.Not long after, the baby began to cry.James immediately panicked after hearing the baby cry.“Thea, hurry. Our baby is crying.” He woke Thea up.Thea turned over and sat up. She picked up the baby from the crib and began comforting her.However, the baby did not stop crying.Thea was at a loss and called for the nurse.Soon, a nurse came inside the ward and told them the baby was hungry.Then, she taught Thea how to breastfeed the baby.After several mishaps, the baby was finally full and fell asleep.At that point, Thea no longer felt sleepy.She leaned back in bed and asked, “Honey, what should we name our daughter

James complimented him. Immediately afterward, his voice turned serious, “You know about the recent news about a wild boar attacking a village, followed by a big snake getting into a moat a few days after, right?”Henry nodded. “Of course. How could such a gigantic wild boar and snake exist? Considering they had True Energy, I’m quite sure they aren’t regular animals. It’s terrifying.”James said, “Actually, these are animals that have mutated.”“Mutated?” Henry was taken aback.James explained about Empyrean Spiritual Energy leaking from the Sealed Realm.“Are you serious?”Henry said grimly, “If this is true, then is chaos about to befall our Earth?”James nodded and said, “Yes. It’s absolutely true. I came to you to discuss this matter. There are ten more years before the seal is completely open. Animals are already mutating into horrific creatures right now. The kinds of beasts that will appear in ten years are practically unimaginable. I need to take control of Sol, build p

He controlled Yada Sect, which had ancient martial artists as its members.Thus, he also knew about the incidents involving the beasts.James' explanation about the animal mutation had slightly convinced him.However, it was still inappropriate to abdicate the new King.Zacarius continued. “There are still ten more years, which should be enough time to prepare. The international situation is quite a mess right now. Many new countries have emerged, and the Kingdom of Merania has been watching Sol closely. If the current king steps down, Merania will seize the opportunity and cause discord.“I hope you understand.”Hearing this, James fell into deep thought. Dragonville had a vast amount of land, most of which was deep forests. It would be easy to develop these lands and build a new moat and fortress.“Focus on conquest,”Zacarius spoke again. He looked at James and said, “Right now, every country is trying to seize the resources and lands of the countries at our borders. You
