After Melinda made a suggestion, Silvester took the initiative in the situation. Relying on the Elixir Pavilion’s reputation, favonovel.com invited many powerhouses to join forces with them. Meanwhile, Melinda set up a robust formation for them.
The formation covered the entire Elixir Realm. It took Melinda about thirty thousand years to completely set it up.
When the Sanctuary of Darkness took notice of their preparations, it was already too late. The Elixir Pavilion had already grown much more potent and had set up a powerful formation.
The Sanctuary of Darkness knew they could not stay idle. Therefore, they began preparing for a counterattack.
In the past tens of thousands of years, the Elixir Pavilion and the Sanctuary of Darkness had engaged in countless fights. Their battles had spread throughout the Boundless Realm, and Grand Emperors were present in every battle.
The situation had prolonged for tens of thousands of years. However, the Sanctuary of Darkness suddenly started to pick up their pace in conquering other planets a few thousand years ago.
The Elixir Pavilion had been trying to stop them, but the Sanctuary of Darkness’ forces were too strong. Ultimately, the Elixir Pavilion was forced to retreat from the fights.
At that moment, the Sanctuary of Darkness had already conquered every other world in the Boundless Realm except for the Elixir Realm.
The powerhouses of the Elixir Pavilion had no choice but to retreat into the Elixir Realm and could not leave freely. Otherwise, they would be killed by the Sanctuary of Darkness’ powerhouses if they were to leave the Elixir Realm.
Thea continued to explain, “The Sanctuary of Darkness has already issued an ultimatum. They want the Elixir Pavilion to surrender within a thousand years, or they’ll send all their forces to wipe out the Elixir Pavilion.”
James’ face darkened upon hearing the news.
The current situation within the Boundless Realm was not looking very optimistic. Apart from the Elixir Realm, the Sanctuary of Darkness occupied all the other worlds.
Silvester looked at James and asked, “James, since you’re back now, do you have any means to deal with the Sanctuary of Darkness?”
James thought awhile and said, “Leave the problem with the Sanctuary of Darkness aside for now. It’s more important to find the Ancestral God Rank Elixir immediately. We don’t have much time left. I’ve only acquired one of the Ancestral God Rank Elixirs, and there are still four more somewhere in the Boundless Realm.”
Everyone’s gaze was fixated on James.
Those present were all core members of the Elixir Pavilion. In the past ninety thousand years, all of them had learned about the Four Calamities that humanity would have to face. They also knew about the Ancestral God Rank Elixir and James and Thea’s purpose of visiting the Boundless Realm.
Thea looked at James and said worriedly, “In the past years, we’ve been investigating the Ancestral God Rank Elixirs’ whereabouts but were to no avail.”
James slightly waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to worry. Emperor Jabari has already been resurrected. He’s proficient in the Extrapolation Path. He should be able to locate the Ancestral God Elixirs.”
After speaking, James fell into thought. Then, favonovel.com said, “How about the Elixir Pavilion’s seniors stay here? I’ll go out to look for the Ancestral God Rank Elixirs. After collecting them, we’ll have a decisive battle with the Sanctuary of Darkness. With the few thousand years left, we should be able to settle everything.”
Thea nodded and said, “Since things have come to this, that’ll be our only choice.”
After a brief discussion, James remained in the Elixir Pavilion. He did not head out immediately.
James, Thea, and Xainte gathered in a separate courtyard in the Elixir Pavilion’s backyard.
Thea said worriedly, “Honey, are you confident in collecting all the Ancestral God Rank Elixirs in the remaining time? If you don’t find them, it’ll be the end for humanity.”
James shook his head and said solemnly, “To be honest, I’m not too sure either. I can only do my best.”
Xainte asked, “Dad, can I help you with anything?”
James shook his head and said, “I don’t need any help for now. You can just stay in the Elixir Pavilion and be at ease. I’ll only bring Nico to search for the Ancestral God Rank Elixirs.”
“Alright…” Xainte nodded.
Afterward, James entered the Celestial Abode and headed to Emperor Jabari’s seclusion sanctuary.
