James was shrouded in black mist and entered a mysterious world that lacked the rules of heaven and earth. Paths were also
non-existent.
However, James sensed a terrifying power. He looked around in confusion and suddenly saw a few light spots.
The light spots gathered to form into a spectral figure of a man.
Although James could only see the rough outline of the man’s facial features, it was evident the man was relatively young.
“Is this the successor that old man found for me?” The spectral figure stared at James, and a subtle red flow emerged from his
eyes.
James felt like he had been stripped naked and had no secrets in front of the mysterious man.
The man said calmly, “You’re from the Dark World. Not bad.”
James quickly clasped his hands and said, “I’m James Caden. It’s an honor to meet you, Sir Franciscus.”
It was evident the spectral figure before him was a trace of Soul Power that Franciscus had left behind.
The spectral figure gradually became opaque and turned into a man dressed in a white robe.
The man looked relatively young. At most, he was only in his twenties.
Suddenly, a beautiful landscape with mountains and streams appeared in the mysterious world.
Franciscus sat down on a rock by a stream. He pointed to another stone and said, “Sit.”
James complied without objection.
“I didn’t expect so much to have happened to the divided Dark World after my death.”
Franciscus saw James’ experiences after scanning him. Naturally, he also learned about everything that happened in the Dark
World.
‘The Dark World gave birth to a consciousness. That’s something I would never have expected. This part of the Dark World is
supposed to be evil. The same goes for its Heavenly Path. Yet, the Dark Heavenly Path’s consciousness was born as a human
with good virtue. But, after all, she is still the consciousness of the Dark Heavenly Path. Does she really think she can break
away from the Dark Heavenly Path just by being reincarnated outside the Dark World? That’s only wishful thinking.”
James frowned at his words.
Franciscus looked at James and said solemnly, “You play a crucial role, young man.
“What do you mean?” James had a confused expression.
Franciscus explained, “The Dark World and the Illuminated World used to be one. However, many powerhouses targeted me, so
I repeated the Dark World.
Now that it had given birth to a consciousness, which has already been reincarnated, the same must’ve also happened to the
Illuminated World’s Heavenly Path.”
James listened carefully.
Franciscus continued, saying, “Although Thea is kind- hearted, she is still a consciousness born from the Dark Heavenly Path.
Once she reaches a certain height in her cultivation rank, she will be affected by the power of the Dark Heavenly Path.
Eventually, she will return to the darkness.” “Do you mean to say that Thea’s reincarnated self will become corrupted?” James
asked with a frown.
Franciscus said solemnly, “If only it were that simple. You guys have been in the Dark World for so long but have not been
affected by the dark aura. It’s because I had sealed away the Dark World’s evil power. Once it is released, the consequences will
be grim.
“As Thea’s reincarnation grows stronger, she can sense the evil power sealed away in the Dark World. When the time comes,
she’ll return to the darkness and take complete control over Dark Power. If that happens, nobody will stand a chance against her.
Ultimately, she will destroy everything.”
“Aren’t you exaggerating a little?” James doubted Franciscus ‘ words, not believing that Thea could do such evil.
