The Almighty Dragon General
Chapter 6713

Yegor, Herodias, and Thea turned to him with puzzled expressions. “Uh...” James felt a tad bit emabrrassed, surprised he had accidentally blurted out his question instead of communicating telepathically with Lesia.

He chuckled awkwardly and waved dismissively at them. Suddenly, the bell's chimes echoed once again.

Lesia explained patiently, “The Courageous Tower was one of Emperor Yarden's greatest treasures. He believed that the wise are not perplexed, the benevolent are not anxious, and the brave are not afraid. Since you gained the tower's acknowledgment, it signifies that Emperor Yarden approves you. Hence, you're capable of tapping into some of his powers.”

James had an expression of disbelief.

“No wonder Lesia mentioned the Aquasoul on the Forladtt Land's third level was the eyes of a powerhouse. So this is the full story.’

After the realization, James asked, “What about the Ten Holy Temples?”

Lesia explained, “The founders of the Ten Holy Temples were Emperor Yarden's ten disciples. Initially, they were enlightened by the Supreme Path. They were assigned pivotal roles in Zymurgy. However, they were dissatisfied that Zymurgy had been opened to other living beings. Eventually, they had a major conflict with powers under the Supreme Path. After losing, they entered the Great Historial Land.

“Even so, they possessed Emperor Yarden's authority to appraise energy and control the destiny of living beings. Therefore, they formed a rivalry with Zymurgy.

“The two opposing sides, though incompatible, had to coexist. Ultimately, the Supreme Path had to relinquish power. It resulted in the current state, where there were paths not enforced by laws and authority but no governance.”

Upon hearing Lesia’s explanation, James frowned and asked, “So, the rulers of the Ten Holy Temples are divine beings formed by vital energy? There's not a single mortal among them?”

“Their founders were indeed formed from vital energy. However, they're unable to create new life with their energies. Like mortals, they got married and had children. So what does that make them?”

James snarled, “What the hell? So aren't they just like Herodias? Although they have noble status, they're also mortals. Since we're the same kind, why do they insist on oppressing us?”

Lesia muttered, “They're different from us, okay? They were born at the Xaeclon Rank, some even at the Daeclon Rank. Meanwhile, we're just normal beings or animals.

“Think about why your pregnant wife traveled to the Great Historial Land to give birth to them. It's because she wanted them to have a better starting point than others.”

James was rendered speechless. Initially, he could not grasp Thea's intention. Had he known in advance, he would have never allowed it. Their children did not need to be Hongrome Children, nor did they need an advantage from birth.

He believed one had to experience hardships to truly become stronger. Though they were provided with a head start and an advantage that many others might envy, James was convinced those who climbed the ladder through their own efforts had greater potential and would display better actual combat skills.

After pondering for a while, James asked, “What will happen if I eliminate these advantages they have?”

Lesia chuckled, “If you do that, you'll align perfectly with Emperor Yarden's philosophy. He had always advocated the simplicity of cultivation. He hoped the divine beings would return to their origins so they would no longer meddle in the affairs of the mortals.

“The Forbidden Bloodshade is the heart of his teachings. Zymurgy’s supreme being and the Ten Holy Temple's divine beings would revert into energy, and their consciousness would be wiped out upon entering this place.”

James asked confusedly, “But weren't they from natural birth? What's there to be afraid of?”

Lesia explained smilingly, “Well, they don’t want other people to know. Besides, with their guts, they wouldn't dare to take the risk.”

James’ eyes lit up, and then he suddenly burst out laughing.

Yegor, Herodias, and Thea looked at him confusedly as if he were a madman.

After a moment, James proposed, “Shall we go outside and explore a little, Mr. Yegor?”
