The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 7541

James suddenly knelt down with a resounding thud, startling all the creatures present and causing them to retreat in shock.

As the ruler of the Haleth Realm, James held the power to decide everyone's fate. He deserved reverence, and his mere presence was already a grand gesture. Yet, here he was, kneeling before them.

"You, you..." The Celestial Sage was at a loss for words.

The Earthly Sage hurriedly waved his hand, trembling, and asked, "What are you doing?"

James replied sincerely, "It's been a great honor to know you. From our first meeting, your righteousness left a lasting impression on me, and I have nothing but respect for you both.

"During Truett's wedding, when my wife revealed herself as the Dark Heavenly Path, the Genesis World's Grand Patriarches harbored murderous intents, and Yehria set a trap to kill me and my wife. Despite the dangers, you two did not shy away or bow to threats, protecting my friends and children. I will forever be grateful."

The Celestial and Earthly Sages exchanged knowing glances and attempted to help James to his feet. However, James stopped them, saying, "I was the one who orchestrated this test. No one else was involved. I understand this may be offensive given your esteemed reputation, but it was something I had to do."

The Celestial and Earthly Sages were taken aback.

James took a deep breath and explained his helplessness and reasons, boiling them down to three points.

First, Soremsias were unpredictable.

After learning the truth about

Emeror Jabarį and Franciscus, whom he once admired, their good nature was no longer real in his

eyes. Subsequently, Sophie, Lyla, et

Quincy, and other Soremsias that had appeared dealt a devastating blow to James' trust, even leading him to be corrupted by his inner Demon. The experience of betrayal had made him wary and careful. He never feared battles or schemes against him. His biggest weakness was his trusted comrades. Their betrayal would cause him immense devastation.

Secondly, the Leere Tribulation and the Waitara Path's Soremsia posed unpredictable threats. Theoretically, anyone in the Greater Realms might be the Waitara Path's Reincarnation Soremsia. With no clues or traces to follow, nobody could be cleared of suspicion. Therefore, James had to examine and investigate his most trusted friends one by one to avoid making an irreparable mistake.

Thirdly, he was now the ruler of the Haleth Realm and had the power to deify other living beings. Hence, he had the responsibility to protect the Greater Realms. It would be easy to appoint deities based on personal preferences. After all, one person's success often leads to the success of those around them. However, this would violate the Daoism? James adhered to and be unfair and

irresponsible to the Haleth Realm,

making him no different from the

Waitara Path he despised.

Therefore, he wanted to test potential deities based on their moral character. To him, it was the right and just way to adhere to his Daoism. With these three points in mind, James had to be careful with his decisions, mainly because of his position.
