The Almighty Dragon General

“What's that?” “T’ve never heard of it.” “T have no clue either.” The men were members of the Four Ancient Races, which were
the strongest primeval groups in the Dark World.
They had almost all the information on the latest and major happenings occurring in the Dark World.
Nonetheless, none of them had heard of this Theognostos.
In truth, James just made up a story about it.
As he glanced around those confused faces, James began, “None of you would have heard of the Temple of Theognostos
before.
It is the base for my people, a secretive Primeval Race that originates from the Dark World.
However, my people remain mostly within our territory.
Therefore, it is only natural you haven't heard about the Temple of Theognostos.” Yui fixed James with an intense gaze.
He could sense that James had only entered the late stage of Petit Celestial Rank.
However, Yui could also tell that James possessed extraordinary powers in terms of his physical body.
Yui was also intrigued by the story regarding Theognostos.
He asked, “Where is this Theognostos that you’re talking about located? Also, what is the name of your race or people?” “How
impertinent of you!” Latrusse took a step forward and barked, “Do you think you have the right to ask about Theognostos?” “Why
you...” Yui could feel his anger boiling over upon being reprimanded by Latrusse.
James intervened, saying, “Step back.
I will handle this.” Latrusse scoffed inwardly at James’ brilliant acting as their fake leader.
Still, he kept a straight face and followed James’ instructions.
James said smilingly, “I hope you won’t mind his short temper.
Pardon me, but I can’t tell you where Theognostos is or the name of our race.

However, I can share with you the reason why I have chosen this place.” Those from the Four Ancient Races kept their eyes on
James.
They still had no clue what Theognostos was.
However, James had several competent cultivators on his side, and that indicated the quality of manpower that Theognostos
had.
Therefore, Yui and the others chose to observe the situation a bit longer.
“In our language, Theognostos means transcendental.
My father chose the name as he said that it represented the powers and abilities that our people have.
In his opinion, we are the ones out of the many Primevals of the Dark World and the other beings of the outside world who
deserve to use the name Theognostos.” James was a natural at making these far-fetched stories sound convincing.
He pointed at Qairo.
“My father created this puppet to protect me.
Before I left home, my father told me having this puppet alone was enough to ensure my safety.
No matter who my enemies were, he could fend off almost any cultivator or Primeval members from across the Dark World.” The
people from the Four Ancient Races did not doubt Qairo’s capabilities since the man had single-handedly defeated three elders
from the Yeftero Race.
Also, they finally realized why something felt strange about Qairo as it turned out he was a puppet.
James walked over to Qairo.
He looked at the man and gave a small sigh.
“Originally, my father wanted to give him a complete soul and make him into a real being.
However, this puppet reached the peak of Quasi Transcendental Bliss Rank and possessed exceptional powers.

If he became a true being that possessed his own free will and emotions, there might be a risk of him turning against me.” James
continued, “Since that could be a threat to my safety, my father decided to imbue in him an incomplete soul.
That way, he'll follow my orders obediently.” Almost all of the members from the Four Ancient Races fell for James’ story.
Still, Yui remained cool-headed.
He asked calmly, “Is the Glaciem Race’s princess inside the holy land?” James responded, “Oh! That lady? Our people rescued
the Glacies’ princess in the past.
Back then, we advised her to let go of her resentments.
So, there’s nothing you need to worry about now.
The lady won’t try to exact revenge on the Four Ancient Races, nor will the people from Theognostos try to intervene in your
affairs.” Yui stepped toward James slowly and said, “I don’t care who you are or where you come from.
The Glacies’ princess must die today.” Yui’s aura increased with each step he took.
James met his gaze.
“I was just being nice by trying to resolve the situation through a conversation first.
Did you really think we’d be too scared to take you on?” The air around them felt heavy as soon as James finished saying that.
