The Almighty Dragon General

James left the arena and walked out of the formation.
Xezal immediately approached him and asked, “How did it go?”
James shook his head and replied, “He’s too stubborn. He wouldn’t give in no matter how much I tried to persuade him. We’ll
have to wait for him to calm down before trying again.”
After speaking, James walked away.
Everything was ready, and all he had to do was stall for time. James was in no rush.
Youri, on the other hand, was pressed for time. The other major races of the Greater Realms were also anxious.
James returned to his residence and locked himself in his room. Then, he continued to create formation inscriptions.
He stayed inside a time formation for some time, then left to meet with Soren again.
James was trying to buy as much time as possible. This time, he even brought representatives of various races to witness his
negotiation with Soren.
However, Soren reacted furiously.
After the negotiations failed again, James chose to leave.
Every once in a while, James would revisit Soren to ask for the Blithe Omniscience. Unfortunately, Soren was not willing to hand
it over.
He had only one condition to handing it over to them—to be freed from the formation.
If his demand was not met, he vowed never to pass the Blithe Omniscience to anyone, even if the humans were to perish.
James looked at the powerhouses that came to witness the negotiation, shrugged, and turned to leave. He returned to his
residence and rested in his yard.
Yemima stood in front of him and asked, “What do we do now?”
James replied, “I’ve already used the extinction of the Human Race to threaten Soren, but he refused to surrender. I’m out of
options. I can only wait for Youri to find James and retrieve the last token.”

After speaking, James waved his hand and said, “I need some time alone.”
Yemima frowned slightly at his words.
Ever since they came to the Cloud Race, James had been acting very strangely. Apart from visiting Soren, he would lock himself
in the room and prevent anyone from getting close to him.
Yemima wanted to question him but swallowed her words. She turned and left.
As soon as James was alone, he activated the formation around the manor.
He entered his room, set up a time formation, and continued making formation inscriptions.
James remained inside the time formation for a very long time.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
James had not shown himself for a thousand years. During this period, the Greater Realm’s powerhouses had been waiting in
the Cloud Race’s territory.
Everyone was tired of waiting.
At that moment, a discussion was taking place in the Cloud Race’s hall.
‘The Cloud Race’s token is the last one, but the humans have it. They have hidden themselves and retrieving the token is
impossible.”
“Can’t the formation be opened with just nine of the tokens? Is there no other way to let Soren out?”
“Unfortunately, no. When the Ten Great Races set up the formation, they took this into consideration. They were worried one of
them would release Soren, so they carefully constructed the formation, making it impossible to be opened if even one of the
tokens isn’t present.”
“What should we do now, then?”
“I’m not sure either. Wyot hasn’t shown up for a thousand years. I wonder what’s he doing.”
Many powerhouses in the hall began to express their opinions on the matter.

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!
At that moment, footsteps came from outside the hall.
