The Almighty Dragon General novel 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?”
