Chapter 2173

Sophie did not feel proud about being praised by James. Instead, she said lightly, “Although the

formation is profound to you, it’s nothing to me. It’s a very simple trick to deceive the eye.”

“Still, you’re very impressive!”

James had a lot of admiration for Sophie.

Until now, he still had no idea what Sophie’s cultivation rank was. The only thing he was sure about her

was that she was very powerful.

“Huff.”

Sophie heaved a sigh.

“We’re in the greatest era of history, but it’s also one of the darkest ages. Whatever will happen in the

future is unpredictable.”

Sophie went silent after saying that.

At that moment, those who chased after Dead City returned.

Not only did they not catch up with Dead City, but they also missed their opportunity to cultivate in the

Energy Pool.

Yerick and Xavia immediately left the area with their subordinates.

Meanwhile, James followed Marcello and Jace away from the glowing Pacific Ocean.

As soon as they returned to Sol, Marcello returned to Bane City on Mount Bane.

Meanwhile, James returned to Wyrmstead without stopping. His True Energy had improved

significantly, and it was sufficient for him to fly back to Wyrmstead. His travel speed was much faster

than a plane’s.

It did not take long for him to reach Wyrmstead.

While he was gone, the Earth was relatively peaceful.

Many mighty powerhouses had come to Earth, but none of them had shown themselves. Instead, they

silently stayed within Bane City, waiting for the tribulations to befall the world. and great boons to

appear.

The cultivators did not dare to cause trouble on Earth either.

As soon as James returned to Wrymstead, he summoned the country’s senior authorities to the

palace’s main hall.

“Honey.”

Thea took James’ hand and asked worriedly, “Did anything happen to you this time?”

James smiled faintly and said, “What could’ve happened? Among the Three Thousand Worlds, I

arrived in a relatively underdeveloped realm. I managed to bring back enough grains and some special

seeds too.”

What James brought back were seeds of spiritual grain.

The Earth’s current soil condition was perfect for growing these spiritual grain seeds.

“Thank god.” Thea heaved a sigh of relief.

Recently, she had been worried that something would happen to James. Now that he had returned

safely with seeds, she was finally at ease. James looked at the people in the hall and ordered, “Contact

Sol, Lothian, Tacriyrus, and the other nations immediately. Then, split the grain and food with them. As

long as we can grow our own food, we humans on Earth will become self-sufficient.”

Quincy stood up and said, “Leave this matter to me.”

James looked at Henry, the Blithe King, and Delainey and said, “Thank you for your hard work. From

now onward, you three will have to enter the Celestial Abode and practice with the four hundred

thousand soldiers.”

The 400,000 Black Dragon Army soldiers were still in the Celestial Abode.

The 400,000 soldiers needed four leaders.

The four chosen leaders were Henry, the Blithe King, Delainey, and Thea.

Thea was powerful, so it was not necessary for her to train with them for the time being.

“Alright.” The three nodded.

Afterward, James opened the Celestial Abode and let the three enter

James also instructed people to move the grain out from the Celestial Abode. Soon, the grain. he

brought back from the Land of Tabal was transported to Wyrmstead’s food storehouse.

James and Thea walked side by side in the Imperial Palace’s backyard.

Thea asked softly, “James, what’re you planning to do next?”
