In the face of James’ words, Perthacus approached like a lost soul.


    “ You...” He was about to speak when James waved his hand, casting a Soundproof Barrier made of


    gray, ck, and white energies that immediately enveloped the entire Yggdrasil Pce.


    “You haven’t perished?” Perthacus stared intently at James, his lips trembling.


    “Why have youpletely changed your appearance? I can’t even recognize you anymore, and your


    aura...” “By surviving cmity.” James smiled faintly.


    “When even my Golden Body and internal organs have been recast, how could I not expect a change


    in appearance?” At these words, Perthacus’ hands trembled as he slowly reached for James’ cheek.


    Suddenly, tears streamed down his face the moment his touch made contact.


    Seeing this, James’ face showed a relieved smile.


    “Don’t be like this.


    We’re both old now.” Standing beside them, Lucille sighed lightly and struggled to find words.


    “I thought you perished in the void of the Timaeus Sect,” Perthacus said, tears streaming down his


    face.


    “At that moment, I saw Xaiden, Xni, and Yzert joining forces against the Dark Heavenly Path.


    It was you who charged out to block them.


    “T wanted to rush up and help you, but I...” “You were right,” James interrupted Perthacus.


    “Under those circumstances, you would have been cannon fodder if you came up.


    However, ming the cause of this cmity on the Dark Heavenly Path and then seeking vengeance


    against all living beings in the Dark World is not right.” Perthacus showed a shocked expression.


    “You...you know about this too?” “I not only know about this.” James nced at Perthacus.


    “I also know that you now serve Xachary, and your superior is Hetsema.” At these words, Perthacus


    looked at James as if he were a monster.


    “You...


    you can read minds?” James took a deep breath.


    “Right now, I just want to know why powerhouses like Mattaniah and the Celestial Sages didn’t


    participate in the big battle?” “TI have no idea,” Perthacus said gravely.


    “Since the Tai Chi Decree of Extinction, all the surviving Grand Patriarchs of the Genesis World seem


    to have disappeared into thin air overnight, and none have appeared since.” James furrowed his brow.


    “Including Yegor and Lady Herodias?” Perthacus nodded solemnly.


    “In the current Three Thousand Great Genesis Worlds and the countless Micro Genesis Worlds,


    Xachary, dwin, Yaquis Holiness, and Hetsema are renowned as the Four Peaks of the Quasi


    Daeclon Rank Powerhouses.” Hearing this, Lucille looked surprised.


    “Peak of the Quasi Daeclon Rank? What’s that?” “It means they''re just one Golden Body away from the


    Xaeclon Rank,” Perthacus exined.

    “Recently, we’ve received the Tai Chi decree.


    He dered that whoever kills James and the Dark Heavenly Path will be granted a Golden Body and


    ascend to the Xaeclon Rank.” Lucille turned to look at James, only to find him suddenly falling into


    silence.


    To James, whether these so-called Four Powerhouses were at the peak of the Quasi Daeclon Rank or


    had attained the Xaeclon Rank in cultivation, they were all insignificant in his eyes.


    What surprised him was that his son Hetsema was also listed among the powerhouses.


    He wondered what had this guy been through after being captured by Xachary.


    Thinking of this, images of his children shed through James’ mind.


    He remembered that his children had all been taken as disciples by the Celestial Sages, Yegor, and


    Lady Herodias.


    He wondered what their achievements were now.


    After pondering for a while, James asked again, “So, who are the powerhouses on the side of the


    Solstice Alliance now?” “T don’t know.” Perthacus shook his head.


    “Since that great battle, no living beings from either the Fodtt Land or Sk have been seen within


    the Genesis World.


    It’s as if they’ve vanished into thin air.


    The New Timaeus Sect and the New Yaquis Sect have organized multiple attacks, but they all ended in


    disastrous failure.


    “In the past few years, the Yang governor led the Four Symbolsrge army to capture numerous


    locations in Sk and the Fodtt Land, though I’m not privy to the specifics.” After hearing this,


    James nodded meaningfully.
