Zeno had been following the oil lamp through the darkness for a very long time.
“Zeno?” James was slightly startled. He was not expecting to encounter Zeno in the Dark World.
“Why is someone else here?” Thea frowned slightly. She had only sensed the oil lamp’s aura and did not sense anyone near the
oil lamp.
Zeno’s face looked evidently fatigued. He waved his hand, and a huge boulder floated over from the distance. He sat down and
said, “I’ve been chasing this thing for some time. I can finally rest.”
James waved his hand, and the oil lamp floated to him. He scrutinized the oil lamp and found it to be very magical, especially the
wick and faint light.
After analyzing the oil lamp for a while, James discovered that countless primitive inscriptions formed the light.
Now that he had obtained the oil lamp, he could cultivate the primitive inscriptions of many of the Dark World’s races. However,
the primitive inscriptions of the races imprisoned within the Prison World were not included inside the oil lamp.
James put away the oil lamp, looked at Zeno, and asked,” Have you recovered your memories?”
Zeno nodded lightly and said, ‘The oil lamp is very magical. When I got close to it, my soul as well the memories that have been
extracted from me, slowly recovered.”
“You were once Emperor Raiah’s most trusted confidant and were called the best Rune Arts Grandmaster. Do you know about
Emperor Raiah’s origin?”
James asked straightforwardly.
“What exactly are you referring to?” Zeno asked with a frown.
James frowned and said, “Does Emperor Raiah really have a great origin?”
Zeno stared at James and scanned him with his Zen. After a while, he exclaimed, “You! How is your physical body so strong
now?” James’ brows furrowed tighter, and he said, “Even a powerhouse at the Holy Celestial Rank can’t see through my body’s
strength, nor sense the power within it. Yet, you easily saw through me. It seems you must also be somebody extraordinary.”
“Me? Extraordinary?” Zeno chuckled. Immediately afterward, he asked seriously, “Even I couldn’t trap the oil lamp. But you easily
trapped it, and put it away. You’re very impressive. I’m assuming you’ve mastered the primitive inscriptions of a race from the
Dark World. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to trap it.”
James was instantly intrigued by his words.
“It seems I was right. You used to follow Emperor Raiah around, so it’s only natural you’re someone special. If I’m not wrong,
Emperor Raiah is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s Master. Meanwhile, you must’ve been one of his
subordinates even in your past life.”
James made a few speculations. According to the information he had, the oil lamp was stolen by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s
Master. However, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s Master was severely injured and fled. Therefore, James guessed that the
Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s Master was at his limit and had no choice but to reincarnate. He was reincarnated in the Endlos
Plane as Xeraiah. However, he did not immediately regain his previous life’s memories.
The oil lamp was brought to the Endlos and appeared somewhere near him.
Thus, he had been constantly trying to refine it. It was not until he left the Endlos Plane that he regained his memories.
Unfortunately, he did not regain his strength. Thus, he chose to leave the oil lamp behind because it would attract a lot of danger
to himself. He would not survive if the Yefteros and the other races came after him.
James pieced the puzzle together just with a few words from Zeno.
“You already found out about the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion? It seems you’ve experienced a lot after leaving the Endlos Plane,”
Zeno looked at James surprisedly and said, “Well, you’re right. Emperor Raiah is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Secrets
Pavilio’s Master.”
After confirming James’ speculations, Zeno fell into thought and tried to recall something. After a while, he took a deep breath
and said, “It’s a very long story.
Let’s put this topic on hold first. Instead, let’s talk about what your experiences after leaving the Endlos Plane.”
