The Almighty Dragon General

"But what I admire most is what you experienced and accomplished when you were Wyrmstead's Dragon King on Earth.

"Back then, you were full of vigor. Not only were you domineering, but you were also decisive and protected the whole world with your strength."

James fell silent, unable to remember what he had done and who he had been when he was the Dragon King. 'Is this what she meant by going too far and forgetting why he set out in the first place?'

Frona said emotionally, "Is being carefree and wasting your days what you really want? You're strong, but who do you seek to be mighty for? If you only want to be Thea's hero, you shouldn't have embarked on the path of cultivation. You should've stayed on Earth as the Dragon King. After a hundred years, you will return to dust, and everything you lived for will also be gone."

Frona turned around and looked directly at James. "But since you've come this far, you have an obligation and responsibility. With great strength comes great responsibility. You can't only prioritize your wife but must also consider other lives.

Pointing at James, she asked, "Who are you right now? Are you only Thea's husband? Aren't you also the Mortal Emperor, respected by the Greater Realm's living beings? You're the holder of their Spiritual Providence. Didn't Emperor Yarden entrust the Great Historial Land to you? Did you forget you're the Great Historial Land's ruler as well?

"Think about the group of comrades who have supported and followed you throughout everything. There's Henry, Langston, Sophie, Taran, Lady Wikolia, Quattro, Xzavion, Truett, Yegor, Xitlaly, Rebella, and so many others.

"Do you think they've been following you just to help find your wife so that you could live happily ever after with your family?"

"No, no!" James roared, "I never..."

"Yes, you did! Though you never thought of it that way, you've subconsciously been doing it until this day!" Frona raised her voice.

"You despise Zymurgy's gods for taking away the will of the Greater Realms' living beings. You hate the unfair laws and rules, condemn the Waitara Path's Daoism, and even the Forty-Nine Daoisms we created for the Haleth Realm.

"Yet, you don't have the determination to make a change. Instead, you face Zymurgy's gods with the mentality of saving your wife and eliminating her troubles."

James stared at Frona with parted lips but found himself at a loss for words.

The leader of the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness had great insight. She saw through the surface and exposed the truth before him.

Frona sighed and reasoned, "The fact that Emperor Jabari and

Franciscus were Xanthakos'

Soremsia was the last straw for your

You beoan to suspect whether the people around you were Soremsias of powerful gods. You doubted everything, and your mental fortitude gradually crumbled."

James slowly closed his eyes. Frona was capable of seeing through everything, rendering him unable to retort.

Frona stared at James and stated, "Of course, what really triggered your Inner Demons was the seed planted in your heart by the Waitara Path's soul spirit However, it was preqcisely because your mental fortitude was weakened that your Inner Demons were awakened while you were trying to integrate the Five Spirits, ultimately being used as a pawn against you." t

James' body trembled at her words.

Frona said emotionally, "If a ruler doubts his minister, he will execute him. If a minister doubts his ruler, he will rebel if the ruler doubts his minister but does not execute him; the minister will eventually rebel If the minister doubts his ruler but does not rebel, he will eventually be executed. Suspicion can lead to a cycle of fear and preemptive actions, resulting in chaos and instability.

"I've said so much not to convince you to respect our Daoism but to help you become firm in your Daoism.

"A hero to one person is not a real hero. Love for one person is not truly great love. Only by protecting all living beings in the Greater Realms and transforming the Haleth Realm can you be considered a hem that embodies love."

As soon as Frona said this, a brilliant red-gold light suddenly burst out from James and immediately illuminated the vast space within the tower.
