Chapter 2401

James never thought that his own daughter would be chosen by the Heavenly Path and wield the

Scythe of Judgment.

Now, he had a rough idea of what the Scythe of Judgment was. It was rather similar to the Blade of

Justice, which was capable of passing judgment on all who had committed crimes and violated Solean

law. Winnie, on the other hand, passed judgment on those who transgressed the Heavenly Path.

However, how did one transgress the Heavenly Path? He had no idea at all. After all, his current

strength was far too weak to reach the point of understanding it.

“A bright era is upon us. Likewise, the darkest age in history has arrived.” Wearing a solemn

expression, Sophie furrowed her eyebrows and said slowly, “In the era when there were still Heaven’s

Adjudicators, there were countless Grand Emperors. I believe that after a period of time when these

geniuses grow up and reach the Grand Emperor Rank, the world will descend into chaos.”

As this was too distant from James at the moment, he did not wish to concern himself with this. At the

moment, his priority was to annihilate the Divinity Sect that was garrisoned on Earth. Since the Divinity

Sect of the Ancient Realm had been annihilated, there was no reason for the one on Earth to continue

to exist.

“Sophie, as I still have matters to attend to, I’ll be taking my leave,” James said.

“Get going then. I can sense that the providence after the Second Calamity is about to appear. After

you resolve the matter and enter a closed-door meditation, the providence should have emerged by

then.”

Hearing this, James’ curiosity was piqued. He asked, “What’s the providence that would appear after

the Second Calamity? By the way, what would be the Third Calamity?”

Sophie shook her head.

“I do not know. Under normal circumstances where the providence will soon appear, the Heavenly Path

experiences fluctuations. That’s when I learn what the providence and the calamity will be.”

“I see.” James was dismayed. He truly believed that Sophie was omnipotent and omniscient.

He looked at her, intrigued.

“Sophie, what rank are you at now?”

“Me?” An attractive smile crept up on her face as she said, “I’m probably the strongest figure beneath

the Emperor Rank.”

“Seriously?” Stunned, he asked, “Are there still cultivators at the Grand Emperor Rank out there?”

“Grand Emperor?” After thinking for a moment, Sophie said, “I think so. There have been many Grand

Emperors throughout history. Some have fallen, whereas others have concealed themselves Besides,

after reaching the Grand Emperor Rank, one can even change fates and destinies. So, even if they fall,

they can be reincarnated.”

Hearing this, James had a rough understanding now. All of this was because he had insufficient

strength. Once he reached a certain strength, these powerful figures would appear out of nowhere.

“I’m leaving now.”

James turned to leave the Celestial Abode.

At Wyrmstead Palace…

James simply remained in Wyrmstead and spent his time with Winnie. He also guided Winnie’s

cultivation. Winnie was truly a genius. No matter what she learned, she understood it immediately. No

matter what martial arts they were, she would grasp the essence immediately. Even James was

envious of her talent.

Meanwhile, James knew that Thea had gone to the Chamber of Scriptures in search of the custodian to

enter a closed-door meditation.

“James.”

Just as James was watching Winnie perform her sword moves while sitting on a chair in the palace’s

courtyard, he heard a voice coming from behind him.

As he turned, he noticed a gorgeous woman walking toward him. She was wearing a blue dress, had

long black hair, delicate features, a slender figure, and exuded a charming temperament.

“Hey, Cynthia.”
