Suddenly, James said, “It’s to deal with us.”
Thea looked at him worriedly and asked, “Deal with us? What do you mean?”
James took a deep breath. “Be prepared. On our upcoming journey, we might encounter many of our friends, including people we care about the most. To find the Waitara Path’s past form, we’ll have to kill them. Otherwise, we’ll be trapped in the River of Time forever.”
Thea immediately came to a realization. The Waitara Path intended to torture them mentally and emotionally. It was cruel to force them to stand against their friends, acquaintances, children, and parents. In the face of these frenzied attacks, not killing them would mean being trapped. However, could they bear the emotional and mental torture of having to kill so many of their close friends and family?
It was an impeccable strategy. The Waitara Path’s cruelty and despicableness lay in its ability to exploit emotions and desires. It used Historial Daoism to create Historial Power, giving Historial beings a true weakness. Especially for someone like James, who valued emotions and loyalty, such mental torture and emotional suffering could completely break him.
Thea gritted her teeth. “How vicious! He may have his schemes, but we have our counters. He wouldn’t expect us to use the Gate of Mystery to collect them.”
James put his hand behind his back and said, “It’s not that simple. We’re within the River of Time, the territory of the Waitara Path’s past form.”
Thea rushed before him and asked, “What do you mean? Are we at his mercy?”
James did not answer but instead summoned the Zirconia Path Scroll. He then tapped Zella’s forehead with two fingers, extracting a beam of holy light from her soul and embedding it into the Zirconia Path Scroll.
Thea shouted, “He’s about to self-destruct.”
James remained unmoved but sped up his writing on Zella’s destiny file.
Thea was anxious. “He’s your son, James! Do you really want to see him disappear?”
At that moment, James finished writing the last rune. The Zirconia Path Scroll erupted with a dazzling light and enveloped Zella.

"Good things take time" Lol yeah, a hundred and fifty trillion years, apparently....
How was Sheldon Jame's first disciple? Wasn't the Black Eagle King the first? Where has he disappeared to all this time?...
Unbelievable... I thought James was rid of the annoying "honey, darling" Thea by going to the Demonic Realm, but now she's gone there too *puke*...
This Thea is the most narcissistic woman of all, constantly interrupting James's cultivation, getting in the way of his plans and slowing him down. He was well rid of her but the author went bonkers a few hundred chapters into the story and decided to pair her back with James.. Yuck!...
Thea doesn't deserve James, it so sad he loves her...
Thank you so much for all the effort. I love all the stories I've read. I hope to continue reading "The Almighty Dragon General" story. 😊...
