The Dooms were organizing a gathering because rumors had spread on the streets. Moreover, even the Soul Race’s Patriarch
came personally to interrogate the Doom Race. The gathering’s objective was to explain things to the Soul Race and the various
races in the Greater Realms. Then, there was the Chaos Sacred Lotus, an unparalleled treasure of the Dooms that would only
ripen once every 10,000 Epochs. This time, the Dooms were sharing the Chaos Sacred Lotus with everyone. The rules were
simple. Anyone could form a team of five and participate in the competition. Whoever emerged victorious would obtain the
Chaos Sacred Lotus. However, there was a strict requirement—only those below the Acme Rank could participate.
“Father, I will find some allies and obtain the Chaos Sacred Lotus,” James said.
“Mhm.”
Dolph nodded slightly and said, “Make your preparations. As for the battle between you and the other two, I will do my best to
postpone it at least until the gathering is over. So, don’t worry.”
“Thank you, Father. I won’t let you down,” James said respectfully. “I’ll see myself out.”
Saying that, he stood up and left the study room.
Then, he returned to Mount Doom.
Upon his return, Yemima asked, “What did he say to you?”
James said, “Nothing much. He told me that Hoder and Manley had left their closed-door meditations. As for my battle against
them, he told me not to worry and to prepare for the gathering. He will do his best to postpone the battle.”
Saying that, he looked at Yemima and asked, “I’m currently short of four teammates for the gathering. Do you have any
recommendations?”
Yemima shook her head slightly and said, “Not at the moment, but don’t worry. When the gathering commences, all races of the
Greater Realms will appear here. By then, you can choose your own teammates. With your strength, that should be an easy
task.”
“Mhm.”
James nodded.
Yemima continued, “Hoder and Manley must have crossed into the Acme Rank. So, they won’t be allowed to participate in the
gathering and compete for the Chaos Sacred Lotus. Now, the only ones you need to be aware of are the others on the Chaos
Gold Ranking, especially Deshawn Yansh, who’s ranked first.”
Although James did not know who Deshawn was originally, he learned about the man through Wyot’s memories.
Deshawn Yansh was a mysterious man whose race was unknown. He was ranked first on the Chaos Gold Ranking. Although
famous and well-known, he had not appeared for a very long time.
“Deshawn has not appeared in the Greater Realms for some time now. If not for his name on the Chaos Gold Ranking, I
would’ve already forgotten about him. If he doesn’t appear, you should be able to obtain the Chaos Sacred Lotus with ease. I’m
actually worried that he would emerge out of nowhere.”
“We’ll see.” James waved slightly.
Since there was still some time left until the gathering, he put those thoughts aside.
“I’m going to enter a closed-door meditation. I’ll do my best to regulate my condition and perform well
in the gathering.”
The outside world knew that Wyot was the Minor Patriarch of the Doom Race. However, to them, Wyot was only a living being
with a weak cultivation base, and he only managed to become the Minor
Patriarch because of nepotism.
“Go.” Yemima waved slightly and said, “I’ll inform you when the time comes.”
“Mhm.”
James nodded before turning to leave.
He headed to the back of Mount Doom and found a scenic spot. The energy of heaven and earth here
was abundant. As he sat in a lotus position on a rock, he set up a Time Formation around him. Then, he set up another
mysterious Formation.
