Chapter 3290
The Almighty Dragon General
James left after seeing Yehuda and went to visit Connor.
Connor was also a Grand Emperor that chose to stay hidden during the Primordial Age after learning of
the Human Raceâs fate.
He did not reveal himself until the establishment of the Heavenly Court after the Fourth Calamity was
over.
He never asked for the position of the Lord of the Heavenly Court, nor did he have a high position in
the Heavenly Court. He was relatively free and did not have many responsibilities on him.
James appeared outside Connor Palace.
The palace was relatively desolate, and there were no guards outside the gate.
James walked toward the door and knocked lightly. Soon, the door opened, and a graceful woman
walked out.
The woman was slender and wore a pink dress.
âMaster has been expecting you. Please do enter.â
The woman made a welcoming gesture.
James was not surprised and walked in without hesitation.
After entering the palace, he was taken to the backyard.
In the backyard, there was a table with a chess board in an open field. A man who looked to be in his
sixties could be seen playing chess alone.
He wore a gray robe and had a beard. His appearance was of an elderly man, but his body was full of
vitality.
The woman walked over and reported respectfully, âMaster, James is here.â
âAlright.â
Connor put the chess piece in his hand down and looked at James. He pointed at a chair and said
softly, âHave a seat.â
James sat down and looked at Connor seated opposite him. Connor was calm and elegant, unlike
someone who had great ambitions.
James greeted him, âNice to meet you, Sir.â
Connor gently waved his hand and said, âThereâs no need to be so formal with me. In the cultivation
world, only the strong are respected. You defeated over a hundred of Heavenâs Adjudicators and are
the hero of the Human Race.â
James did not beat around the boat and cut straight to the chase. âI came to see you becauseâ¦â
Before James could finish speaking, Connor cut him off, saying calmly, âI know youâre here to ask for
my help. Youâre not confident in winning despite being the Human Raceâs hero. Even though youâll gain
a lot of support if you ask for it, Xandros has a high prestige amongst the Human Race, and many
powerhouses are loyal to him.â
James asked, âThen, whatâs your answer?â
Connor raised his head to the sky. After a long silence, he said, âBeing the Lord of the Heavenly Court
and Human Race sure is tempting. However, Iâm not interested in it. It doesnât matter to me who holds
the position.â
Just like Yehuda, Connor refused his request for help.
James knew they turned him down because they wanted him and Xandros to fight so they could reap
the benefits.
âI see. As long as you donât support Xandros, Itâll be a piece of cake for me to defeat him.â
James did not say much. He stood up, clasped his fists, and turned to leave.
After James left, Connor smiled faintly. âHaha. Youâre still too naive, Young Man.â
After visiting Yehuda and Connor, James went to see Yaraka.
Yaraka used to be the Earthâs Chamber of Scriptures custodian. She guarded the place for many years
and provided James with a lot of help when he was still very weak.
She even helped him reform his physical body.
In the backyard of the palace where Yaraka resided, James and Yaraka walked side by side.
Yaraka wore a white dress. She was incredibly beautiful and looked pure and innocent. Her aura was
ethereal, and her every move was graceful.
âYaraka.â
James parted his lips and said gratefully, âWhen I was weak, it was you who kept helping me from
behind the scenes. Without you, I wouldnât be where I am today.â
