Chapter 5384

nfluential figures from the Dark World’s Four Ancient Races gathered inside the Yefteros’ main hall for

an emergency meeting.

The Yefteros’ Great Elder, Halianor, sat in the highest seat. To his side was the Yefteros’ Saint, Yui.

Despite the packed crowd inside the main hall, the atmosphere was tense, and nobody spoke.

Halianor scanned everyone’s face and broke the silence, saying, “What’s wrong? Have you all lost your

voices?”

At that moment, Jerry from the Suuntelis stepped forward and said, “Sir Halianor, this isn’t our fault.

While at the Glaciem Holy Land, we were under Yui’s command. He made the decision, and we simply

followed. If he had not wasted time on the disciple from Theognostos, the Glacies’ princess wouldn’t

have escaped. She bought enough time to gain the strength to withstand Yui’s attack and escaped

unharmed. She’ll become a problem soon.” Halianor replied calmly, “Now’s not the time to be pinning

the blame on someone. You should be thinking about what to do next.” Saul from the Zoltrumms said,

“I doubt Theognostos or a puppet created by a powerhouse at the Transcendental Bliss Rank even

exists. The powerful man who showed up was most likely the powerhouse of the Glacies that failed to

enter the Transcendental Bliss Rank.

He was in that strange state because of failing to make his breakthrough.”

His words brought about a new possibility, and everyone was slightly convinced.

However, Yuvin stepped forward and said, “If he wasn’t from Theognostos, then why does he have

such a terrifying physical body? His cultivation is only at the Petit Celestial Rank’s late stage, but he

withstood Yui’s attacks. That’s unusual.

After the Glacies were destroyed, we’ve been constantly searching for their princess. Where else could

she have gone if she didn’t gain shelter with Theognostos? We would’ve found her if she was hiding

anywhere else.”

Yuvin wanted to prevent James’ identity from being exposed. To the Mevryees, James was now a

crucial chess piece in their plan. They needed James and the Glacies’ princess to stir up trouble for the

Yefteros.

Halianor turned to Yui and asked, “What do you think?”

Yui fell into thought and said, “The Glacies’ hidden powerhouses are a mere rumor. Nobody from the

Ancient Four Races has personally witnessed him fail to enter the Transcendental Bliss Rank. It’s just a

rumor spread from within the Glacies. As for the man claiming to be a disciple of Theognostos…

“He did indeed have an exceptional physical body. His body’s defenses were passive, as his cultivation

rank was too low, and he couldn’t manually summon the power in his body.

“I can’t comment on Theognostos, though. The Transcendental Bliss Rank, and even the Quasi Bliss

Rank, has always been a myth. There hasn’t been anyone in the Primevals who has successfully

reached these ranks. My father has been in seclusion for a very long time, but even he hasn’t reached

the threshold to enter the Quasi Bliss Rank.”

Halianor listened carefully. Then, he asked, “Then do you think Theognostos really exists?”

Yui shook his head lightly and answered, “I can’t give a certain answer. There are too many unexplored

regions in the Dark World and so many secrets yet to be discovered. There may be mysteries that we

haven’t unraveled yet.”

Halianor frowned and said, “If Theognostos does exist, and the Glacies’ princess is connected to them,

then she will become a significant threat to the Four Ancient Races.

She’s going to secretly cause a lot of trouble for us.

Yui suggested, “Our top priority should be verifying whether Theognostos exists.

If it is real, we must find out why there hasn’t been any news about them for so long. Why are they

showing up now? At the same time, we must locate the Glacies’ princess as soon as possible.”

The powerhouses continued with their meeting, discussing countermeasures for their survival.

Yuvin occasionally chipped in to not raise suspicion. After the meeting, he temporarily settled down in

the Yefteros’ territory. On his trip this time, he was accompanied by Thea.
