In the face of James' words, Perthacus approached like a lost soul. "You..." He was about to speak when James waved his hand, casting a Soundproof Barrier made of gray, black, and white energies that immediately enveloped the entire Yggdrasil Palace.
"You haven't perished?" Perthacus stared intently at James, his lips trembling. "Why have you completely changed your appearance? I can't even recognize you anymore, and your aura..."
"By surviving calamity." James smiled faintly. "When even my Golden Body and internal organs have been recast, how could I not expect a change in appearance?"
At these words, Perthacus' hands trembled as he slowly reached for James' cheek. Suddenly, tears streamed down his face the moment his touch made contact.
Seeing this, James' face showed a relieved smile. "Don't be like this. We're both old now."
Standing beside them, Lucille sighed lightly and struggled to find words.
"I thought you perished in the void of the Timaeus Sect," Perthacus said, tears streaming down his face. "At that moment, I saw Xaiden, Xolani, and Yzert joining forces against the Dark Heavenly Path. It was you who charged out to block them.
"I wanted to rush up and help you, but I..."
"You were right," James interrupted Perthacus. "Under those circumstances, you would have been cannon fodder if you came up. However, blaming the cause of this calamity on the Dark Heavenly Path and then seeking vengeance against all living beings in the Dark World is not right."
Perthacus showed a shocked expression. "You...you know about this too?"
"I not only know about this." James glanced at Perthacus. "I also know that you now serve Xachary, and your superior is Hetsema."
At these words, Perthacus looked at James as if he were a monster. "You... you can read minds?"
James took a deep breath. "Right now, I just want to know why powerhouses like Mattaniah and the Celestial Sages didn't participate in the big battle?"
"I have no idea," Perthacus said gravely. "Since the Tai Chi Decree of Extinction, all the surviving Grand Patriarchs of the Genesis World seem to have disappeared into thin air overnight, and none have appeared since." James furrowed his brow. "Including Yegor and Lady Herodias?" Perthacus nodded solemnly. "In the current Three Thousand Great Genesis Worlds and the countless Micro Genesis Worlds, Xachary, Gladwin, Yaquis Holiness, and Hetsema are renowned as the Four Peaks of the Quasi Daeclon Rank Powerhouses."
Hearing this, Lucille looked surprised. "Peak of the Quasi Daeclon Rank? What's that?"
"It means they're just one Golden Body away from the Xaeclon Rank," Perthacus explained. "Recently, we've received the Tai Chi decree. He declared that whoever kills James and the Dark Heavenly Path will be granted a Golden Body and ascend to the Xaeclon Rank."
Lucille turned to look at James, only to find him suddenly falling into silence. To James, whether these so-called Four Powerhouses were at the peak of the Quasi Daeclon Rank or had attained the Xaeclon Rank in cultivation, they were all insignificant in his eyes.
What surprised him was that his son Hetsema was also listed among the powerhouses. He wondered what had this guy been through after being captured by Xachary.
Thinking of this, images of his children flashed through James' mind.
He remembered that his children had all been taken as disciples by the Celestial Sages, Yegor, and Lady Herodias. He wondered what their achievements were
now.
After pondering for a while, James asked again, "So, who are the powerhouses on the side of the Solstice Alliance now?"
"I don't know." Perthacus shook his head. "Since that great battle, no living beings from either the Forladtt Land or Skynet have been seen within the Genesis World. It's as if they've vanished into thin air. The New Timaeus Sect and the New Yaquis Sect have organized multiple attacks, but they all ended in disastrous failure.
"In the past few years, the Yang governor led the Four Symbols large army to capture numerous locations in Skynet and the Forladtt Land, though I'm not privy
to the specifics."
After hearing this, James nodded meaningfully.
