A thousand years was a long time for mortals, but for a powerhouse like James, it would pass in the blink of an eye.
“Alright. I agree to your terms.”
The Omnipotent Lord clapped his hands and laughed out loud. “Haha. Don’t disappoint me, James. I hope you can defeat
Briscoe and become the Deputy Universe Lord. Then, we can join forces and vanquish the Dark World together.”
James’ frowned at the Omnipotent Lord’s words. He suspected that the Omnipotent Lord’s current strength and legion of of
powerhouses were all acquired through the Watchers. However, he oblivious to the Dark World’s circumstances and was still
trying to conquer it.
Did the Watchers help him while keeping him in the dark?
James did not dwell on the question for too long and asked, “Where will the battle be held?”
The Omnipotent gave it some consideration and said, “After I merged the twelve universes to form a Super Universe, the space
in the new universe has become very stable.
However, I’m sure a battle between two Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral Gods will be very destructive and lay waste to the
surroundings. How about we hold it in the Chaos when the time comes?”
“Alright.” James nodded.
Then, he turned around and left the main hall. After James departed, he descended to the foot of Mount Ancestre. He hopped
back onto the big black cow, patted his back, and said, “Let’s head to Mount Nine-Saints.”.
Mount Nine-Saints was Mirabelle’s cultivation sanctuary. Mirabelle became James’ disciple to learn how to cultivate the Chaos
Path. James had no recent intel on the Omnipotent Lord, so he wanted to ask Mirabelle since she had been living in the First
District this whole time.
Meanwhile, Briscoe waited until James had left Mount Ancestre’s main hall before finally revealing his thoughts.
“My Lord, we can’t trust James. Why bother recruiting him? It’s best just to dispose of him.”
The Omnipotent Lord dismissed Briscoe’s concernsand said, “I’ve got a plan.”
“Alright.”
Hearing the Omnipotent Lord’s assurance, Briscoe dropped the matter.
The Omnipotent Lord urged his men, “Hurry up and find the Macrocosm Cores formed by Universe Seeds. We need to stimulate
their formation and merge them to create a major world.”
“Yes, My Lord.”
“Alright, everyone’s dismissed.” The Omnipotent Lord sent them away. The Macrocosm Ancestral Gods in the main hall
dispersed.
James, on the other hand, was making his way toward Mount Nine-Saints riding atop Quiomars.
“Quiomars, you’ll have to restrain yourself in the First District. Don’t expose your strength so readily. The situation is getting
much more complicated, and I’m worried the Watchers are already on the move,” James reminded Quiomars.
Quiomars thought about his words. “Master, these Watchers have lurked in hiding ever since. So why are they suddenly taking
action?”
James thought to himself. After a while, he replied, ‘These Watchers haven’t really hidden themselves. In the past, they showed
up and killed the three hundred Dark Lords. They took action because the Dark Lords’ collective strength had threatened them.
I’m guessing...”
Pausing for a moment, he then continued, “I think it’s the same this time since I displayed my Chaos Power. Since these
Watchers are from the Greater Realms, they should be familiar with the Doom Race’s Chaos Power. They must have considered
me a threat and are acting accordingly.”
Quiomars asked, “If that’s the case, they could’ve just attacked you directly. Why would they need to go use such convoluted
methods to kill you?”
James murmured troubledly, “Perhaps their target isn’t me. They might have discovered my relationship with Thea and are trying
to use me to get to her.”
“I see.”
Quimoars stopped asking questions.
James broke the silence, saying, “I don’t know the exact details. I’ll have to figure things out as we go. In short, we’ll have to be
very careful since Watchers could be following us.”
