Chapter 3098


    Melinda Yisroel, a powerful figure from the Reincarnation Pond and a prodigy. James came into contact


    with her once. However, this time, it seemed as though Melinda had a memory of her being picked up


    by the Lord of the Stardust Realm from the Pond. It was very likely that she remembered her past life,


    in which she was one of the most famous figures in the Primeval Age.


    This was all in James’ head though. As to whether it was true, James could not vouch for his thoughts.


    Melinda sensed James’ presence from the first second she stepped onto this abandoned. Now


    that they met, her gaze remained on him for a very long time. She was unable to hide her


    astonishment.


    After a few seconds, she collected herself and appeared right in front of James in a sh.


    “Why are you here?” She enquired provocatively.


    James stood up and looked at Melinda. This world was filled with so many violent energies that could


    not be resisted bymon cultivators of the Divine Rank. Yet, here stood Melinda, who was ignoring


    all the violent energies around her as if they did not exist. James was confident that her power


    exceeded that of the Divine Rank. He tried to see through her superficial appearance but was to no


    avail. It was a shame that Emperor Jabari could not offer him advice at this moment. Since Emperor


    Jabari said that she was a very powerful figure, her power must have been greater than James could


    imagine.


    “Well, why did youe all the way here to this abandonednd of the Holy Realm? Why not remain in


    the Stardust Realm?” James returned her provocative question with equally provocative answers.


    Lips pursed, she let out a chuckle. Her smile uncovered two dimples on the corners of her lips.


    “You’ve improved quite fast, I have to say. It hasn’t been long, but you’re already at the peak of the


    Sage Rank’s Thirty-Third Stage. You’re incredibly near to attaining the Divine Rank.”


    “And you as well, you did a great job at concealing your rank,” James spoke coldly. “Your power must


    have reached a rank beyondprehension to be able to easily navigate this ce and to be here in


    the Desteness Ruins alone. Which rank have you actually acquired?”


    Melinda did not answer James’ questions directly, instead, she responded, “I’m here to retrieve a


    weapon.”


    “A weapon?” James was confused.


    “Yes,” Melinda continued, “I left it in the Forsaken Landst time. It’s time I take it back.”


    “Last time?” He was dumbfounded. When was herst time here? He tried to make a guess. Was it the


    Primeval Age?


    “Who the heck are you?” he asked.


    Melinda stared at James with a stern expression and said, “Who I am isn’t important. What’s important


    is I’ve no intention to harm you. Otherwise, you would’ve died back in the Stardust Realm. My


    existence here is to help you.”


    “Help me?” James was bewildered. “How?”

    However, Melinda did not exin further and asked instead, “Now, tell me, why are you here? This


    ce is extremely dangerous. Even powerful figures who have attained the Grand Emperor Rank


    wouldn’t dare to simply show up here. Unless there’s some powerful figure on your side helping you.”


    Melinda wanted to know who James was as well. However, after staring at him for quite some time, she


    still could not figure anything out.


    As for James, he was very interested in who Melinda was. Yet, he let it slide since she did not want to


    disclose that piece of information. Facing her question, he did not conceal much and answered


    truthfully, “When I was in Elixir City, I participated in a bid, from which I got an ancient scroll. Since the


    scroll came from the Desteness Ruins, I wanted toe here and see what it was like.”


    As he spoke, he made sure to take a good nce at Melinda.
