A man and a woman sat at the gates of Cumulus Palace’s Southen Heaven Gate.
James narrated the events that unfolded after Sophie left and the reasons why he overthrew Xandros.
“I’m in a bind. I don’t know what to do. You’re intelligent, Sophie, and you’re the daughter of the war god of the Ancient Heavenly
Court Age. Do you have anything in mind?”
Sophie shook her head slightly.
She did not have the time to think about this. Being together with James made adrenaline rush through her veins.
“I have an idea,” came a voice.
James turned around and saw a man walking toward them.
“Walganus,” James hurriedly stood up and said smilingly, “It’s been a while.”
The man was Walganus Jaxon, whose real name was Hilarius Yahir. He was the son of the Jade Emperor in the Ancient
Heavenly Court Age.
James looked at him and asked, “What do you have in mind?”
Walganus took a seat and said, “There’s no need for you to worry about anything. Both Yehuda and Connor have no interest in
power and authority. They only wanted to become the Lord of the Human Race because they could absorb the providence of the
Human Race and cross into the Ancestral God Rank.”
“Exactly,” James said, “That’s why I’m concerned.”
Walganus said, “Simple, why don’t you form the Four Heavenly Lords?”
“Huh?” James asked, “What do you mean?”
Walganus said, “Establish many Heavenly Court Lords and divide them into the north, south, east, and west. These Lords will be
acknowledged by the Heavenly Path. Hence, they will be able to gain insight into the providence of the Human Race. That’s one
way of preventing Yehuda and Connor from making trouble.”
“Will this work?” James asked, confused.
“Why not?” Walganus responded. “Once you form the Four Heavenly Lords, you will have four extremely powerful figures
guarding the four directions of the Divine Dimension. Then, you just have to command them from Cumulus Palace.”
Sophie said, “Sounds like a good idea.”
James said smilingly, “In that case, I’ll do just that.”
Walganus extended his arm.
James froze and asked, “What is it?”
Walganus said, “You promised me you would allow me to look at the Three Thousand Cultivation Arts. In the past, I wasn’t able
to understand anything. Now, I have crossed into the Grand Emperor Rank and can now comprehend the arts. By the way, let
me be one of the Four Heavenly Lords.”
James immediately said, “The Three Thousand Cultivation Arts is in the Celestial Abode. Before the Fourth Calamity arrived, I
instructed Xandros to leave them to my son Jacopo.”
Walganus said, “Mhm, no worries. I’m not in a hurry.”
Then he turned to leave.
Now, only James and Sophie remained.
James asked, “Walganus wants to be one of the Four Heavenly Lords. As the son of the Jade Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly
Court Age, he has the right to be one. Since both Yehuda and Connor will each be one, who should be the last one?”
Sophie said with a smile, “That’s something you’ll have to carefully consider.”
As James contemplated, the image of a powerful figure surfaced in his mind. Among everyone, Silvester was the most suitable
for the job.
Though he had thought of Melinda, she was a Quasi Ancestral God. She should not have any desire to become one of the Four
Heavenly Lords.
