James knew that Benedict would not obey favonovel.com entirely without giving favonovel.com some benefits. Besides, favonovel.com was worried that Benedict would conspire to set favonovel.com up. That way, not only would they fail to annihilate the Sanctuary, but even the Pavilion could be implicated.
Benedict was moved. He knew just how powerful Curse Magic was. All these years, favonovel.com had only obtained a handful of Curse Inscriptions despite his many years of service for the Sanctuary. If James was willing to teach favonovel.com Curse Magic, this was a great deal.
He looked at James and said, “I have a question…”
James said, “Ask away.”
Benedict asked, “Where do you come from?”
James glanced at him. After a few seconds, favonovel.com said slowly, “I come from the future.”
“The future?” Benedict froze.
James nodded and said, “Yes…”
Then, favonovel.com briefly described the Four Calamities of humankind on Earth.
“I came to the Boundless Realm from the future looking for a silver lining for humankind. As for my strength, don’t even bother guessing. You only need to know that the Sanctuary’s Chancellor, whose strength was equivalent to the Grand Emperor Rank’s Ninth Heaven after absorbing immense Curse Power in the Cursed World of the Eidolon Realm, I managed to defeat favonovel.com regardless.”
James’ rank was insignificant. However, all this while, favonovel.com was an extremely powerful figure in the eye of others. Now, favonovel.com was starting to play the role.
After favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com unconsciously scratched his nose.
Benedict knew of the events that unfolded in the Cursed World of the Eidolon Realm. As favonovel.com had joined the Sanctuary, favonovel.com knew of the affairs that occurred.
He never expected that James was the mysterious person who ruined the plans of the Sanctuary. With such a powerful figure on the Pavilion’s side, they should be able to annihilate the Sanctuary easily.
“What do you need me to do?” Benedict asked.
James said, “Though the Elixir Gathering has begun, the Sanctuary did not make any move. They must have sensed that something was amiss. I want you to tell them that everything’s alright in the Pavilion and that they have the green light to proceed.”
Benedict nodded and said, “Sure…”
James said, “I don’t trust you that much. So, swear a Heavenly Oath.”
Hearing this, Benedict did not hesitate at all and immediately swore a Heavenly Oath.
Seeing this, James was relieved. Though the Heavenly Path could no longer control a Grand Emperor, this did not mean that Grand Emperors could do as they please. Otherwise, they could be annihilated nonetheless. Thus, even a Grand Emperor was bound to a Heavenly Oath.
“Why don’t you start by releasing my seal?” Benedict looked at James.
James scratched his head awkwardly. Since there was no way for favonovel.com to remove the seal Silvester applied, favonovel.com had to summon Silvester who was outside the dungeon.
Soon, favonovel.com arrived.
James said to him, “Everything’s alright now. You can release his seal.”
Silvester believed in James’ words. Without saying a word, favonovel.com simply removed the seal on Benedict.
After successfully convincing Benedict, they had a much easier time convincing the others.
Next, James wandered about the dungeon and convinced many of those who were imprisoned. Some, however, were adamantly loyal to the Sanctuary, and James could not convince them to change sides no matter what. Since there was no point in leaving them alive, Silvester simply turned them to ashes.
At that moment, many people gathered at the holy site of the Pavilion. In the lead was Silvester, and behind favonovel.com were Benedict and many of those who were convinced to change sides.
James looked at them and said, “All preparations have been made. Now, we just have to wait for the Sanctuary to arrive. Send a message to the Sanctuary and tell them everything’s normal in here. Also, tell them that the Old Master and the current Master are injured and that their injuries will not heal in a short while.”
Benedict nodded slightly. Then, favonovel.com sat in a lotus position on the ground and began catalyzing a secret art to communicate with Tamuuz, the Deputy Leader.
