The Almighty Dragon General

The colossal energy ball revealed that he was standing in the center of Tai Chi, surrounded by countless majestic Genesis
powers.
In the void, a resonant voice presented him with a choice to either return along the original path or become one of the Eighty-one
Great Heavenly Paths beneath Tai Chi.
Simultaneously, other living beings also underwent the Heavenly Path Selection, where they were required to make the same
choice.
At the same time, the powerful illusory voice enumerated the benefits of the Heavenly Path. Besides gaining endless boons and
the Heavenly Path Power, one could command all the laws and destinies of a realm's living beings.
Additionally, certain living beings burdened with curses and soul contracts could be automatically released upon ascending to the
Heavenly Path. The only requirement was the complete severance of all ties with the past and present, forever renouncing the
seven emotions and six desires.
Watching the living beings in the energy ball, James felt even more nervous than they did. “This is truly a grand boon. Ascending
to the Heavenly Path in a realm is a dream providence sought by many living beings. It must not be missed."
Hearing James' words, the two elders in black and white robes smiled mysteriously. Meanwhile, Rebella kept her eyes fixed on
the energy balls. She muttered softly, "Some of them will come back. They'll find that staying with you is less worrying and more
interesting."
Upon hearing this, James turned to her and asked, "Does that include you?"
Rebella was stunned and then lowered her head awkwardly, emitting a very soft hum.
Looking at the energy balls in the void, James sighed gently. "Everyone has their own aspirations. I hope they can make their
truest choices. I'll support them regardless of what they choose."
"You're quite easy-going!" The white-robed elder chuckled, then asked, "If given the choice, what would you do?"
"I wouldn't become a Heavenly Path living being, of course," James responded without hesitation. "It means being alone. Even if
I get to control the laws of all living beings and the natural principles, what's the point of it all without family, friends, and all

matters and emotions?
"Take my wife as an example. Our family would feel as if it had scattered if she became a Heavenly Path living being."
Upon hearing this, the white-robed elder laughed heartily, "She wasn't selected. It's destiny."
"Absurd destiny," retorted James. "Can I resign from the Heavenly Path?"
“You have that option for the Eighty Heavenly Paths and below, but not for the Four Extremes Heavenly Path," explained the
black-robed elder deliberately.
James pursed his lips and said no more.
Just then, Truett was the first to make a choice. "I choose to return along the original path!"
Hearing the words emanating from the energy ball, James and the others were momentarily stunned.
"Isn't becoming a Heavenly Path living being good?" asked the resonant voice in the void. "You can command the laws of
everything in a realm."
Truett spread his hands inside the energy ball, smiling cynically as he said, "There's no James, my father, my brothers, or
friends! If I truly ascend to the Heavenly Path, I have to sever all ties and forget them. This is more painful than death."
"So, you have no regrets?" inquired the majestic voice in the void.
"No," replied Truett without hesitation. "Please send me back."
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of white light shone from within Tai Chi, and Truett disappeared instantly.
"I knew he would choose this." James laughed at this scene. "I understand my brother the best! We have the same personality.
How else could we get along so well at first sight?"
Seeing James' proud face, the black-robed and white-robed elders shook their heads with a wry smile.
It was Xitlaly's turn to make a choice in the energy ball. However, she asked a question that left everyone amused.
"Can I still meet James and my husband? Is it possible for me to bear children with my husband?"
Then, the resonant voice in the void was momentarily stumped.
"Answer me." Xitlaly blinked her beautiful big eyes.
"No," replied the resonant voice with a hint of regret. "All seven emotions and six desires must be severed."

"Can I choose not to sever them?" asked Xitlaly again. "Or can I sever others and just keep my husband and James?"
Tai Chi spoke without words.
"If not, then forget it." Xitlaly sighed lightly. "As tempting as the Heavenly Path is, I still find it more interesting to be with James
and my husband."
At these words, James raised an eyebrow. "Is this silly girl trying to infuriate Tai Chi?"
"She's interesting!" The black-robed elder nodded. "Her Spiritual Root is also sufficient."
"Yes," sighed the white-robed elder gently. "What is the meaning of love in the world? It makes people willing to live and die
together, forgoing the Heavenly Path."
