The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 7542

He had to be responsible for the Haleth Realm, so he couldn’t rely on trust alone. He also had to test his friends.

After listening to James’ heartfelt explanation, the Celestial and Earthly Sages lifted their heads simultaneously and took a deep breath.

The Celestial Sage said thoughtfully, “He is a great ruler who doesn’t establish authority through power but through wisdom and insight. On top of that, he doesn’t oppress with force and judges virtue through one’s actions.

“Perhaps this is the biggest difference between you and the Waitara Path and why the living beings of the Haleth Realm worship you.”

The Earthly Sage added emotionally, “I agree. You could do whatever you want but still choose to rule with virtue. That’s indeed the right Daoism.”

The Celestial and Earthly Sage approached James, extending their hands to help him to his feet.

The Celestial Sage gently patted James’ hand and said, “Though you’re of high status, you still treat us with such respect. I’m sure you will treat the Greater Realms with benevolence. We didn’t misjudge you. Stay true to your original intentions."

The Earthly Sage said embarrassedly, “I did feel slightly offended just now, but after hearing your explanation, we were narrow-minded. We should be ashamed of ourselves.”

James hurriedly shook his head. “I was afraid you two would be disappointed in me. That’s why I…”

The Heavenly Sage laughed, “Righteous and fair. If we held grudges against you, we’d be the ones disappointing you.”

The Earthly Sage nodded in agreement with a smile.

Seeing their attitudes, James finally relaxed.

The most significant difference between him, the Waitara Path, and other Alcide Beings was that he valued relationships and cared less about power and status.

James smiled and said, “We’ve already considered these. There is a prerequisite for you two to become deities. You must reasonably disappear from Skynet to avoid alerting the enemy and attracting too much attention.”

The Celestial and Earthly Sages were stunned by his words.

Thea suddenly stepped forward with a smile and said, “I have a plan that can kill two birds with one stone. However, it will require you two to make a little sacrifice.”

The two sages and James turned toward her. Yaretzi, Youcef, and Yianni also gathered around them.

Thea scanned the people present, then said, “The two of them fake their deaths and direct the blame toward the Waitara Path.”

Everyone was stunned by her words.
