Wyot was the Doom Race’s hope. Therefore, many of the Dooms were relieved after Wyot returned safely to them.
Although the Grand Patriarch was still alive, he was injured during the battle that happened in the Primordial Realm. Back then,
he was besieged by the Human Race’s powerhouses and sustained severe injuries. Now, he was barely able to hold on much
longer.
However, he used his potent cultivation base to maintain his life force because the Doom Race had not yet given birth to a new
powerhouse.
After Wyot returned, many powerhouses were at ease.
At the same time, there were also a few that had doubts about Wyot’s identity.
Wyot had fallen into the hands of the Heaven-Eradicating Sect. Logically speaking, he would never have the chance to escape.
However, he came out alive and returned out of the blue. Therefore, many of the Doom Race’s powerhouse were very
suspicious of him.
The Doom Race’s Great Elder, Youri, was the first to voice out his suspicion.
Youri had great authority in the Doom Race. Sometimes, even Dolph, the Doom Race’s Patriarch, could not refute him.
Inside the meeting hall on the main peak, Youri said, “The timing of his return is too coincidental. He returned right after the Soul
Race accused us of uniting with the Human Race. For him to return while there are so many strange rumors going around
makes me suspicious that it’s a scheme by the humans.”
Hearing this, Dolph said, “You must be overthinking it. What ability does the Human Race have to persuade Wyot to betray us?”
“I agree.”
“That sounds outrageous.”
Many elders expressed their opinions, supporting Wyot.
Youri said, “I believe Wyot would never side with the humans. But what if the Wyot that returned to us isn’t real? What if he’s
actually a human disguising as Wyot?”
Another elder immediately suggested, saying, “Since Elder Youri suspects that the current Wyot is fake, let’s call him here and
perform an examination to reveal the truth.”
“I agree.”
“That’s a good idea.”
Many elders expressed their approval.
Youri looked at Dolph and asked, “What do you say?”
Dolph replied helplessly, “Since everyone agrees, let’s perform the examination. If he’s really a human, I’ll personally get rid of
him. However, he’s just returned home, so let’s allow him to rest for a bit.”
Youri said, “That settles it. We’ll get him to go through an examination in a hundred years. We’ll publicly perform the
examination.”
“Alright, that’s all for today’s meeting.”
Dolph stood up, dismissed the meeting, and left the hall.
...
James was resting on Mount Doom.
Shortly after Yemima’s departure, she came to see him again.
James was lying in bed, whereas Yemima was sitting on a chair beside him. She said worriedly, “Elder Youri is suspicious of your
identity and wants to perform an examination on you in a hundred years.”
“Ha,” James got up from the bed and sneered. He looked at Yemami sitting beside him and asked, “Do you believe me?”
Yemima looked at him and said, “Although I never spent much time with you, I’m familiar with your aura. Why would I doubt
you?”
James smiled faintly, approached Yemima, and sat beside her. “What do you think Elder Youri will do to test my identity?”
Yemima said without hesitation, “It’s probably very straightforward. First, he’ll most likely test your soul aura. Secondly, he’ll
search your soul and check your memories. Thirdly, he’ll want to see your Chaos Power. Since Chaos Power is unique to the
Doom Race, humans aren’t able to cultivate Chaos Power. Also...”
After a slight pause, Yemima said, “He’ll probably test your physique and bloodline power.”
James smiled faintly and said, “It seems Elder Youri isn’t pleased that I’ve returned home. Perhaps he arranged for my capture
with the Soul Race so he could get rid of me. That way, he could elect his candidate to take over my position.”
Yemima glanced at him and reminded him, saying, “You shouldn’t spout such nonsense. It’s fine when it’s just me, but don’t say
such things outside, alright?”
James replied casually, “It’s just us here anyway. Plus, I’m just stating the facts as I see it. I won’t talk about these things outside
without conclusive evidence.”
“You have a good rest. I’ll see you in a few days.”
