The Almighty Dragon General

Xerxes asked, “What’s the second plan?
James said, ‘The second plan will be enacted once the Dark World is united. We’ll need to find the remaining Universe Seeds
and enkindle them. Then, we must merge them to form a world that’s as powerful as the Primordial Realm was during its prime.”
As he explained, James’ expression gradually turned grim.
“I still don’t know how strong the Watchers hiding in the Dark World are and if they have already reached the Acme Rank. If we
act rashly, our plans may fail, and our previous efforts will be for naught.”
“Then how do you plan to carry them out?” asked Sienna.
These matters were complex and were not simply a conflict between forces. It would affect every inhabitant of the Dark World
and the twelve universes. If anything unexpected were to happen, Yukia’s efforts throughout this whole time would have been
wasted.
James said, “I don’t know where Thea is right now. If she was with us, everything would be so much easier. I don’t know the
exact details of her plan, so I don’t want to act rashly and attract our enemy’s attention. Suppose the Watchers discover our
plans and report the information to the Ten Great Races, they would swiftly dispatch powerhouses and easily obliterate us.”
James’ lips were drawn taut. He had formulated two plans which could be carried out concurrently. However, he was also
worried about interfering with Thea’s initial plans. He was worried about arousing the enemy’s suspicion, so he hesitated to take
action.
Sienna asked, “Should we take action or not?”
James rubbed his temples frustratedly. Although he had learned some things about the Primordial Realm Era, there were still
many details he was unsure of.
What exactly were Thea’s plans?
Also, how many Watchers lurked in the Dark World, monitoring the situation?
An idea suddenly formed in James’ mind and he exclaimed excitedly, “How about this? The Watchers hidden in the Dark World
were searching for Thea this whole time and she didn’t reveal herself because she wasn’t fully recovered. This was why she was
afraid to show herself. If so, what if we created a fake Thea to draw the Watchers out of hiding?”

“Once these Watchers expose themselves, we’ll be able to follow them and capture them in one fell swoop.”
After hearing James’ plan, Sienna nodded lightly and said, ” This is the best we can do considering all we know at the moment.
How will we fight these Watchers with our strength, though?”
James considered the question for a moment and said, ” Perhaps these Watchers aren’t very strong.”
Xerxes glanced at James and asked, “Oh? Why do you say so?”
James said, ‘These Watchers spread rumors about the Acme Path to lure three hundred Ninth Stage Lords to the Dark World’s
Unknown Region. This led to the Dark Strife. They only took out everyone after both sides had sustained severe injuries. They
wouldn’t have gone through all that effort if they were truly strong enough.”
Sienna balked at James’ explanation.
“Seriously, James?! We’re talking about three hundred Ninth Stage Lords here. Even if they were wounded, it’s terrifying that
these Watchers could take out all three hundred of them. There aren’t even thirty Ninth Stage Lords left in the Dark World, let
alone three hundred Ninth Stage Lords.”
“Personally, I don’t think they’re strong. Just look at Quiomars. His cultivation rank is at the peak of the Lord Rank’s Ninth Stage.
Yet, a Ninth Stage Lord isn’t able to scratch him. I think he’s capable of taking on and killing a few dozen Ninth Stage Lords,”
countered James.
James explained his reasoning. Xerses felt that James’ words were reasonable. However, Quiomars’ strength alone would not
be able to eliminate all the Watchers.
To James, the Watchers were not strong. However, these Watchers threatened the Dark World’s and Illuminated World’s
inhabitants. They were powerhouses capable of destroying the Dark World.”
Sienna said, “I think we need a more conservative approach.
The Watchers don’t seem strong, but that’s only if they go against you. I admit you’re powerful now, but can you really fight every
single Water? Before we understand how to deal with them, it’s best not to act recklessly.”
Sienna expressed her opinion.
