Chapter 5371


    “What''s that?” “T’ve never heard of it.” “T have no clue either.” The men were members of the Four


    Ancient Races, which were the strongest primeval groups in the Dark World.


    They had almost all the information on thetest and major happenings urring in the Dark World.


    Nheless, none of them had heard of this Theognostos.


    In truth, James just made up a story about it.


    As he nced around those confused faces, James began, “None of you would have heard of the


    Temple of Theognostos before.


    It is the base for my people, a secretive Primeval Race that originates from the Dark World.


    However, my people remain mostly within our territory.


    Therefore, it is only natural you haven''t heard about the Temple of Theognostos.” Yui fixed James with


    an intense gaze.


    He could sense that James had only entered thete stage of Petit Celestial Rank.


    However, Yui could also tell that James possessed extraordinary powers in terms of his physical body.


    Yui was also intrigued by the story regarding Theognostos.


    He asked, “Where is this Theognostos that you’re talking about located? Also, what is the name of your


    race or people?” “How impertinent of you!” Latrusse took a step forward and barked, “Do you think you


    have the right to ask about Theognostos?” “Why you...” Yui could feel his anger boiling over upon being


    reprimanded by Latrusse.


    James intervened, saying, “Step back.


    I will handle this.” Latrusse scoffed inwardly at James’ brilliant acting as their fake leader.


    Still, he kept a straight face and followed James’ instructions.


    James said smilingly, “I hope you won’t mind his short temper.


    Pardon me, but I can’t tell you where Theognostos is or the name of our race.


    However, I can share with you the reason why I have chosen this ce.” Those from the Four Ancient


    Races kept their eyes on James.


    They still had no clue what Theognostos was.


    However, James had severalpetent cultivators on his side, and that indicated the quality of


    manpower that Theognostos had.


    Therefore, Yui and the others chose to observe the situation a bit longer.


    “In ournguage, Theognostos means transcendental.


    My father chose the name as he said that it represented the powers and abilities that our people have.


    In his opinion, we are the ones out of the many Primevals of the Dark World and the other beings of the


    outside world who deserve to use the name Theognostos.” James was a natural at making these far-


    fetched stories sound convincing.


    He pointed at Qairo.


    “My father created this puppet to protect me.


    Before I left home, my father told me having this puppet alone was enough to ensure my safety.


    No matter who my enemies were, he could fend off almost any cultivator or Primeval members from


    across the Dark World.” The people from the Four Ancient Races did not doubt Qairo’s capabilities


    since the man had single-handedly defeated three elders from the Yeftero Race.


    Also, they finally realized why something felt strange about Qairo as it turned out he was a puppet.


    James walked over to Qairo.


    He looked at the man and gave a small sigh.


    “Originally, my father wanted to give him aplete soul and make him into a real being.


    However, this puppet reached the peak of Quasi Transcendental Bliss Rank and possessed


    exceptional powers.


    If he became a true being that possessed his own free will and emotions, there might be a risk of him


    turning against me.” James continued, “Since that could be a threat to my safety, my father decided to


    imbue in him an iplete soul.


    That way, he''ll follow my orders obediently.” Almost all of the members from the Four Ancient Races fell


    for James’ story.


    Still, Yui remained cool-headed.


    He asked calmly, “Is the ciem Race’s princess inside the holynd?” James responded, “Oh! That


    lady? Our people rescued the cies’ princess in the past.


    Back then, we advised her to let go of her resentments.


    So, there’s nothing you need to worry about now.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Thedy won’t try to exact revenge on the Four Ancient Races, nor will the people from Theognostos


    try to intervene in your affairs.” Yui stepped toward James slowly and said, “I don’t care who you are or


    where youe from.


    The cies’ princess must die today.” Yui’s aura increased with each step he took.


    James met his gaze.


    “I was just being nice by trying to resolve the situation through a conversation first.


    Did you really think we’d be too scared to take you on?” The air around them felt heavy as soon as


    James finished saying that.
