The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 6720

Emperor Yarden was very powerful and could read minds, allowing him to precisely pinpoint James’ weakness.

Indeed, while James dearly wished for his family’s safety, he was also a man of deep moral conviction. He had a heroic spirit that aspired to seek justice for their worlds.

Perhaps even James had not fully recognized the facets of his character, but Emperor Yarden easily saw through him.

Emperor Yarden said, “The basis of love is the order of the world. At our heights, who doesn’t yearn to pursue the realms of freedom and ease?”

“Just as I, despite having died many years ago, I still find myself entwined with the living world. Who can detach themselves from worldly affairs?”

“Being open-minded and desiring nothing is great. However, being completely indifferent to the world’s sufferings also contributes to injustice and allows evil to prevail.”

James closed his eyes and pondered Emperor Yarden’s words. It was as if he had grasped some of them but was still missing the essence. During this process, the wisdom imparted to him elevated and touched his soul, reminiscent of a profound and enlightening lecture.

After moments of silent reflection, two beams of divine light emerged from his body. Then, he opened his eyes. “What’s the third condition?”

“Seize the position as the Supreme Path, and reform the Supreme Laws. After all these years, it’s about time someone from the Bloodshade Sect sits in that position,” answered Emperor Yarden.

James was rendered speechless.

“You don’t have to shoulder the responsibilities, but you must seize the position no matter what. It’s the very root of Zymurgy’s turmoil. As long as the position isn’t seized, these troubles will persist and can never be fully resolved.”

James asked with a helpless smile, “The Supreme Path? Is that a position just anyone can take?”

Emperor Yarden responded, “You’re different. You’re the only Chosen One amongst the mortal beings, giving you every right to ascend the position.”

James asked surprisedly, “How many are qualified for it?”

Emperor Yarden answered calmly, “You’re the only candidate among all the mortal beings. There’s two from Zymurgy and one in the Great Historial Land.”

“So besides me, there are three more? Who are they?” James frowned.

Emperor Yarden revealed, “I’m only familiar with the one in the Great Historial Land. He’s the Haurvatat Temple’s Young Lady, Marci Annell. As for the Zymurgy’s candidates, I’m not certain. The status of being Chosen Ones is exceptional, and it’s impossible to foresee them.”

James recognized the Haurvatat Temple. When he first entered the Great Historial Land, he encountered two elders from the Haurvatat Temple who acted as envoys, only for them to be driven off by individuals from the Zazen Temple.

The revelation that Haurvatat Temple housed another Chosen One, Marci, was anchored firmly in James' memory.
