Chapter 4299

The formation was indeed profound, and even for James, breaking it would require some time and

effort.

“Mr. Louis, is there a time limit?” James called out loudly from outside the Purple Bamboo Grove.

“Break the formation within one thousand epochs, and you will be qualified to enter,” said a voice from

deep within the Purple Bamboo Grove.

“One thousand epochs…” James’ lips curled up into a smile.

This was underestimating him, or perhaps the Louis deep within the Purple Bamboo Forest held him in

high regard.

Although it would take some time for him to break the formation, it certainly would not take one

thousand epochs.

“One million years.” James was confident that he could break the formation within one million years.

He immediately set up a time formation around himself, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to

comprehend the formation

Meanwhile, Jethro had also found Leilani.

“Father.” As soon as Jethro appeared, Leilani immediately showed up with a sense of urgency in her

expression. She anxiously asked, “What does Wyot want from our clan?”

Jethro raised his hand slightly, saying reassuringly, “Don’t worry. He came to our clan to meet Grand

Patriarch Louis and inquire about matters regarding the Boundless Rank.”

Leilani breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

“But…” Jethro’s tone shifted, and his expression became grave.

“Wyot’s insight is truly terrifying. I merely probed his Soul Genesis Aura, and he immediately deduced

that I knew of his identity. He harbored murderous intent toward me. Although I’m not afraid of him, I

don’t want to confront him. Engaging in a conflict with him would mean becoming enemies with the

Doom Race,” Jethro explained.

“What should we do, then?” Leilani asked.

Jethro looked at her and said, “Resolving this matter will depend on you.”

“Me?” Leilani was taken aback.

“Yes,” Jethro nodded and said, “Although Wyot hasn’t taken action yet, he’s concerned that our race

might reveal this matter. He mentioned that he wants you to marry into the Doom Race as his

concubine.”

“No way,” Leilani immediately refused.

“I’m the proud princess of the Angel Clan. How can I become a concubine? the principal wife if I were

to marry,” Leilani exclaimed.

“Leilani, please listen to me,” Jethro quickly reassured her.

“Father…” Leilani’s eyes welled up with tears. “I don’t want to marry Wyot. He’s too scheming.”

Leilani knew that James was the Forty-nine of Planet Desolation, but she was unaware that he was

from the Human Race. She would find James even more terrifying if she were to find out.

“Leilani, it’s the only way to safeguard the Angel Race. His current identity is the Great Elder of the

Doom Race. Defying him would be detrimental to our clan. The situation in the Greater Realms is

unfavorable right now,” Jethro explained.

Jethro spoke up and analyzed the pros and cons of the situation.

He also brought up that James’ identity as a member of the Human Race was not hidden.

“I already discerned his soul genesis back in the Stone Universe and knew that he was a member of

the Human Race,” Jethro explained.

“Ah, the Human Race?” A shocked expression crossed Leilani’s face as her mouth fell wide open.

Jethro continued, “The future is bound to bring conflict between the Doom Race and the Human Race.

The rise of the Human Race is inevitable if the Doom Race cannot suppress it. We might spare our

race from the impending crisis of annihilation by establishing a good relationship with him now.

“I can step forward and reveal his identity if the Human Race is defeated, which won’t cause much of

an impact on our clan,” Jethro explained.

Leilani’s expression carried a touch of reluctance as she asked, “So, does that mean I have to sacrifice

myself?”

“Leilani, sacrifices are sometimes necessary for the sake of our race. I understand that this puts you in

a difficult position, but it’s currently the best solution. We will engage in a life-and-death battle with Wyot

of the Doom Race and eliminate him within our race’s territory if you’re unwilling.”

Leilani could not help but feel shocked upon hearing this. She exclaimed, “If we were to kill Wyot, the

Doom Race would surely seek revenge. Our clan cannot bear the consequences of their retaliation.

Moreover, even if we were to claim that Wyot is being impersonated by a member of the Human Race,

the Doom Race would never believe us. Not only them, but no race in the Greater Realms would

believe us either. After all, Wyot has the Thousand Paths Holy Body, and impersonating him would be

exceedingly difficult.” “Yeah,” Jethro replied. ‘That’s why he’ll be at ease if you marry him now. You’ll

make the Human Race confront the Doom Race, and we can watch from the sidelines.”
