After some contemplation, he asked with a serious look on his face, “Have you reconsidered this carefully?”
“Mhm.” James nodded firmly.
“Good,” Jabari said, “In that case, I’ll definitely help you out. Before you make your move, I’ll make an extrapolation and
extrapolate anything that is related to the Sanctuary. As the saying goes, “Know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight
a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.”
“Thank you, Grand Emperor.” James clasped his fists and thanked him.
Jabari waved his hand slightly and said, “Go make the necessary arrangements. I’ll inform you of the outcome.”
“Understood.”
James turned to leave.
After leaving the Celestial Abode, he waited outside the courtyard.
Soon, Silvester appeared.
“James, I have prepared the four hundred thousand men that you requested.”
“Great!” James was delighted.
“Here, follow me.” Silvester beckoned.
Then, he left alongside James and headed to the city center of Sky City. On a piece of empty land gathered 400,000 powerful
figures. All of them possessed immense power; the weakest was at the First Tribulation of the Quasi Emperor Rank, whereas the
strongest was at the Ninth Tribulation.
James brought James to the very front and said, “Here they are. All four hundred thousand of them will obey your every
command.”
James looked at the men. Looking at them, he noticed that he was lacking three leaders. He already had a few candidates in
mind.
The first would be Thea, who had cultivated the Nine Heavens God-Annihilating Formation and was a leader before. As a
Second Heaven Grand Emperor, she was the perfect candidate.
The second would be Nico, who was a Fifth Heaven Grand Emperor. By becoming one of the leaders, he could mobilize the
power of 400,000 men. That way, his strength would increase drastically.
As for the third, James still did not have a candidate in mind.
“Stay put and await my order.”
After he spoke, James turned to leave and returned to the main hall. The powerful figures were still there. James scanned them
from head to toe. In the end, his gaze was fixed on Helvius. As the Master of the Pavilion, he was a Grand Emperor at the Fifth
Heaven. If he joined, the might of the Nine Heavens God-Annihilating Formation would soar.
“I’m going to have to form a Superformation. For this Formation, I need four core leaders, whose identities I have already
determined. That would be me, Thea Callahan, Nico Eastwood, and Helvius Daniela.”
Nico immediately stepped forward and said, “Feel free to give me any command, James.”
James said, “You promised me you’d follow me for a hundred thousand years, and look at how fast time passes by. After this
battle, I’ll return you your freedom.”
Nico smiled and said nothing.
Helvius stepped forward as well and said, “We are now at a pivotal moment. Give me an order and I’ll follow through till the end.”
Thea said, “Same here.”
“Alright, let’s get going,” James said.
Then, he turned to leave the main hall, while the other three followed suit. When they reappeared, they were at the plaza of Sky
City.
As the 400,000-strong army and four leaders gathered, James’ mind stirred. Immense power came from within the Celestial
Abode, and everyone entered the abode.
There was already a 400,000-strong army inside the Celestial Abode. Over a long period of time, they had been cultivating non-
stop. However, as they were merely ordinary soldiers, they had limited potential. After making a breakthrough into the Sage
Rank, their ranks no longer increased rapidly.
Though 100,000 years had passed, they had yet to cross into the Divine Rank.
