James was deeply interested in Yukia.
Yukia was also Emperor Jabari’s master and taught him during the Primordial Age. However, he had never seen her appearance
and only ever viewed her from behind.
Henrik also had never seen her before.
Meanwhile, the Unmatched Emperor followed Yukia for a very long time, so James concluded he must have seen her face
before.
“Ahem...Ahem...” The Unmatched Emperor coughed a few times and made an embarrassed expression. “James, about that...
How should I put this...”
“Just tell me the truth,” James asked for a direct answer.
The Unmatched Emperor sighed and said, “I’d also like to have seen her for myself, but like the others, I don’t know what her
face looks like .”
“...”
James was shocked. Even the Unmatched Emperor had never glimpsed her face before. He was one of her earliest disciples
and had followed her footsteps for such a long time. Yet, even he did not know what she looked like.
“My master is rather enigmatic. Although she never deliberately turned her back toward me, she obscured her face and I could
never see her appearance clearly.”
James did not ask any more questions.
Next, James spoke with the Unmatched Emperor for a while about the current situation of the Twelfth Universe.
“What’s your opinion about how the Twelfth Universe is doing?” asked James.
The Unmatched Emperor shook his head lightly and said, “The current prosperity was a result of being stifled for so many ages.
It’s a luminous era for the Twelfth Universe. Many great powerhouses will be born in this age. Perhaps a few Macrocosm
Ancestral Gods will also rise in this age. However...”
The Unmatched Emperor paused and hesitated to continue.
James asked, “What’s wrong?”
After contemplating his words, the Unmatched Emperor replied. “The Twelfth Universe’s development itself doesn’t really matter.
What’s more important is its connection to other universes.
“Oh?”
James’ curiosity was piqued. He immediately asked, “What connection can the universes have with each other? Shouldn’t the
twelve universes be independent of each other?”
The Unmatched Emperor sighed and said, “The twelve universes are indeed independent existences. However, from what I
know, the First Universe has repeatedly suggested merging with other universes to have a better chance against fighting the
Dark World when they cause trouble again.”
“Merge the twelve universes?” James was startled.
The Unmatched Emperor said, “The First Universe has proposed many times to unite the universes and summoned Macrocosm
Ancestral Gods from various universes to discuss the matter in the First Universe. However, they never managed to obtain the
others’ approval. I’m sure the First Universe won’t back down so easily and will try to push for it again soon.”
James asked puzzled, “Does merging the twelve universes mean he wants to work in unison or to completely fuse the twelve
universes to form a completely new universe?”
“Of course, he intends for the latter.”
“Who is even capable of fusing the twelve universes?”
“You underestimate the First Universe, James. They’ve existed far longer than the others and their time had already come to an
end ages ago. If not for the emergence of the Thirteenth Universe, they wouldn’t have a chance to fuse it with theirs and extend
their lifespan. They might’ve even already ceased to exist without the Thirteenth Universe. Since they could fuse two universes,
they’re probably also able to fuse the twelve universes.”
After hearing this, James’ face darkened.
