Chapter 3124
James knew that Benedict would not obey him entirely without giving him some benefits. Besides, he
was worried that Benedict would conspire to set him up. That way, not only would they fail to annihte
the Sanctuary, but even the Pavilion could be implicated.
Benedict was moved. He knew just how powerful Curse Magic was. All these years, he had only
obtained a handful of Curse Inscriptions despite his many years of service for the Sanctuary. If James
was willing to teach him Curse Magic, this was a great deal.
He looked at James and said, “I have a question.”
James said, “Ask away.”
Benedict asked, “Where do youe from?”
James nced at him. After a few seconds, he said slowly, “Ie from the future.”
“The future?” Benedict froze.
James nodded and said, “Yes.”
Then, he briefly described the Four Cmities of humankind on Earth.
“I came to the Boundless Realm from the future looking for a silver lining for humankind. As for my
strength, don’t even bother guessing. You only need to know that the Sanctuary’s Chancellor, whose
strength was equivalent to the Grand Emperor Rank’s Ninth Heaven after absorbing immense Curse
Power in the Cursed World of the Eidolon Realm, I managed to defeat him regardless.”
James’ rank was insignificant. However, all this while, he was an extremely powerful figure in the eye of
others. Now, he was starting to y the role.
After he spoke, he unconsciously scratched his nose.
Benedict knew of the events that unfolded in the Cursed World of the Eidolon Realm. As he had joined
the Sanctuary, he knew of the affairs that urred. He never expected that James was the mysterious
person who ruined the ns of the Sanctuary. With such a powerful figure on the Pavilion’s side, they
should be able to annihte the Sanctuary easily.
“What do you need me to do?” Benedict asked.
James said, “Though the Elixir Gathering has begun, the Sanctuary did not make any move. They must
have sensed that something was amiss. I want you to tell them that everything’s alright in the Pavilion
and that they have the green light to proceed.”
Benedict nodded and said, “Sure.”
James said, “I don’t trust you that much. So, swear a Heavenly Oath.”
Hearing this, Benedict did not hesitate at all and immediately swore a Heavenly Oath.
Seeing this, James was relieved. Though the Heavenly Path could no longer control a Grand Emperor,
this did not mean that Grand Emperors could do as they please. Otherwise, they could be annihted
nheless. Thus, even a Grand Emperor was bound to a Heavenly Oath.
“Why don’t you start by releasing my seal?” Benedict looked at James.
James scratched his head awkwardly. Since there was no way for him to remove the seal Silvester
applied, he had to summon Silvester who was outside the dungeon.
Soon, he arrived.
James said to him, “Everything’s alright now. You can release his seal.”
Silvester believed in James’ words. Without saying a word, he simply removed the seal on Benedict.
After sessfully convincing Benedict, they had a much easier time convincing the others.
Next, James wandered about the dungeon and convinced many of those who were imprisoned. Some,
however, were adamantly loyal to the Sanctuary, and James could not convince them to change sides
no matter what. Since there was no point in leaving them alive, Silvester simply turned them to ashes.
At that moment, many people gathered at the holy site of the Pavilion. In the lead was Silvester, and
behind him were Benedict and many of those who were convinced to change sides.

James looked at them and said, “All preparations have been made. Now, we just have to wait for the
Sanctuary to arrive. Send a message to the Sanctuary and tell them everything’s normal in here. Also,
tell them that the Old Master and the current Master are injured and that their injuries will not heal in a
short while.”
Benedict nodded slightly.
Then, he sat in a lotus position on the ground and began catalyzing a secret art tomunicate with
Tamuuz, the Deputy Leader.
At the same time, outside the Elixir Realm…
