Immediately afterward, a tan-looking man in black armor rushed into the hall. He immediately burst into tears upon seeing
James.
“You’re finally back, James! I thought you died in the Primeval Age! I’ve missed you so much!
Henry hurried over after receiving the news.
He was overjoyed. Seeing that James was hale and healthy, his excitement made it hard for him to speak coherently.
“Henry.”
James stood up, lightly punched Henry’s chest, and said, “Long time no see.”
Henry looked at James with reddened eyes. “James.”
Patting him on the back, James cajoled Henry. “That’s enough. Do you really need to make a big fuss out of this? I’m completely
fine.”
Henry swallowed his emotions and took a deep breath. “I’m so glad you’re back. It felt like something was missing in my life
without you around.”
“Sit down. It’ll be easier to talk.” James pointed to a chair beside him.
After Henry sat down, many more familiar faces appeared outside the hall. Seeing these people, James was slightly taken aback
and looked at Jacopo for an explanation.
Jacopo smiled and said, “I informed them about your return.”
Nico walked into the hall and grinned. “Haha! You’re back, James! I knew you were alright!”
“James, you...” Melinda was shocked after entering the hall.
“You’re finally back, James! I knew you wouldn’t have died so easily.” Thomas laughed.
Many people came into the hall.
Soon, the vast hall was filled with James’ relatives and friends.
Delainey hurried over and called out to him with a sweet voice, “James.”
“James!” Quincy looked at James with tearful eyes. Unable to suppress her emotions, tears poured out of her eyes and washed
down her cheeks.
Maxine was also among the crowd but quietly looked at him with conflicted emotions. She wanted to greet him but was unsure
what to say. A few of James’ friends from the past were also present, including Tiara and Cynthia. His grandfather, Langston,
and his uncle, Tyrus, also came to see him.
The Omniscient Deity, the former number-one powerhouse on Earth before Spiritual Energy was restored, was also among the
crowd. After such a long time, the Omniscient Deity had also grown into a capable powerhouse and was one of the Heavenly
Court’s strongest members.
Some people whom James became acquainted with as martial artists had also arrived.
Tens of thousands of people had gathered inside the hall, celebrating and talking happily amongst themselves.
Many familiar people surrounded James and surrounded him with their warmth. He felt delighted with their company. His only
regret was that Thea was not here. Everything would be perfect if she were around.
Everyone surrounded James, questioning him about everything he experienced after leaving for the Primeval Age. James did not
hide anything from them and gave an honest recollection of what happened. He told his stories in a calm voice, but its contents
left his audience mortified. They never expected him to have endured so many hardships during the Primeval Age.
James talked for a very long time before Melinda finally found an opportunity to interject. She asked, “I buried you back then. I
was sure you had lost all signs of life. How are you still alive?”
James glanced at Melinda.
Before he traveled to the Primeval Age, he had no idea about their relationship. It was only after he was in the Primeval Age, he
realized their inextricable connection with each other.
“I cultivate in the Chaos Path, which no one has ever cultivated before. It’s the reason I was resurrected.”
James parted his lips and explained in detail, not hiding anything from them.
