Chapter 7117
Thea had just reached a shiny pavilion found at the Wyrmscale Source's entrance when she ran into someone.
It was Taichu, one of the five Xyloria gods. Thea could guess why Taichu was here. However, she did not mention anything about it since Taichu had not
brought up the matter herself.
After savoring the Sremdoa Tea prepared by Taichu, Thea calmly stood up. "Ms. Taichu, why don't we enjoy your tea inside the Wyrmscale Source instead?"
"I don't think that's a good idea." Taichu sighed and got up as well. "The Divine Marius and I are not on good terms."
Thea smiled softly. "As a Xyloria god, you're afraid of him?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of him." Taichu shook her head. 'The Divine Marius prefers quiet and solitude. He also needs to maintain impartiality during critical times like now."
Upon hearing her response, Thea shrugged and gave a slight nod. "Alright. I'll take my leave first, then. I have a few errands to take care of."
As Thea walked away, Taichu said, "You choosing to work with Xanthakos is suicidal. In addition, you'll bring your husband down along with you."
Those words halted Thea in her tracks. She turned around. "What do you mean by that, Ms. Taichu?"
"Xanthakos is a liar and a hypocrite." Taichu continued expressionlessly, " You won't gain any benefit from working with him. I hope you two will reconsider it." Thea beamed. "You finally said what you came here to tell me, Ms. Taichu." Taichu let out another sigh. "I witnessed the fierce battle that broke out in the Fortieth Heaven back then. I also recall the horrible things Yehria has put you through time and time again.
"What has Xanthakos offered to make you give up on taking vengeance and decide to help him instead?"
Thea pressed her lips together and treaded slowly toward Taichu. "I see! Ms. Taichu is here today to persuade me to change my mind."
"Frankly, I shouldn't be doing this." Taichu gazed at Thea. "You're an Alcide being, which makes you inherently different from the living beings..." Thea's expression hardened. "Ms. Taichu, my husband is the lord of all living beings. If you're going to compare the Alcide beings and living beings this way, it's better for US to be enemies instead."
Taichu heaved a deep breath. She knew how much the Yin governor and James cared about each other. They were practically inseparable after everything they had been through.
Taichu regretted a little for making those earlier remarks hastily.
She sat in her seat. "Almost everyone knows how I feel about the living beings. However, this isn't about the conflict between the Alcide beings and living beings. What's happening now is a war between factions."
Taichu's gaze fell on Thea. "Xanthakos claims to be fighting for the right to reign over the Haleth Realm for the sake of all living beings. However, he actually has a personal agenda.
"Once he seizes the Wuia Palace and the Path Designation Bead, he'll show his true colors and most likely has the living beings grovel at his feet.
'You knew very well that Lord Goyo had nothing to do with the many unfair treatment and biased laws the living beings were subjected to.
"It was Xanthakos who came up with those things to gain the Waitara Path's favor. Also, if it weren't for the fact that Yehria was Xanthakos' illegitimate daughter, Wesley could have punished her early on with the authority of the Law of Paths.
"She would not have been able to torment you the way she did by using the power and authority a mere Tai Chi had."
Thea fell silent.
After quite a while, she asked, "What is it that you want me to do?"
Taichu slowly closed her eyes. "I've always tried not to interfere with the Haleth Realm's affairs, but now..."
"Don't act like you're troubled." Thea shook her head. "Just tell me what you want. I know Lord Goyo sent you here."
Taichu's eyes flew open. "I'll get straight to the point, then. Lord Goyo announced during the gathering that Alcide beings should step down and let living beings manage the Haleth Realm.
"As the existing sovereign god, he did not want to appear as though he was doing it because he had surrendered to external forces and threats. "Instead, Lord Goyo wants to preserve his dignity as he steps down. He wants to make sure that we retain the Waitara Path's teachings and laws.
"In other words, the Alcide beings and all of the Waitara Path's followers will work together to defeat Xanthakos and his men. They must and they will win the battle."
Taichu met Thea's gaze. "Lord Goyo wanted me to pass on this message. If you and your husband are willing to help US in exterminating Xanthakos, Lord Goyo, as a representative of the Alcide beings, will make your husband the next governor of the Haleth Realm once all threats have been eliminated. "James is a Chosen One, which makes him fully qualified to be the next Supreme Path.
"Lord Goyo said that he would rather abolish the position of the Supreme Path than let Xanthakos have it. The position should be held by someone like James
instea d."
Thea picked up her cup and took a sip of tea.
Lord Goyo's side was willing to offer up the Supreme Path's position. It showed the level of determination and concern they had about the upcoming battle.
It also meant that these high and mighty divine beings sensed a real, imminent threat from the rise of the living beings.
However, Lord Goyo was a follower of the Waitara Path. If the Waitara Path's Soremsia were to make a comeback, it would bring about the Leere Tribulation. Choosing this path would lead to another possibly catastrophic outcome as well. Thea directed her gaze to Taichu. "Ms. Taichu, are you helping Lord Goyo or the Waitara Path?"
Taichu was momentarily stunned. She was one of the two gods with the higher position out of the five Xyloria gods. Naturally, she was aware of the Leere
Tribulation.
"Why bother saying all this to her? Just kick her out of here." A deep voice ringing
with annoyance reverberated through the air.
Taichu shot to her feet and looked in the direction of the Wyrmscale Source,
where the sound came from.
Meanwhile, Thea sighed and shook her head.
