The shadow was the Spirit Tool of the Celestial Abode. In modern terms, it would be something akin to an artificial intelligence robot. Though it was not a living being, it had a consciousness, which allowed him to converse with humans.
The shadow looked at them once more and shook its head slightly while sighing, “It appears that Master must have set the designated time wrongly. Who the hell are these people? With how weak they are, how are they qualified to obtain his inheritance?”
Hearing this, the Son of Heaven panicked.
“Although I’m currently still weak, I possess enormous potential. If I can obtain the Celestial Abode and the inheritance left behind by the Primordials, I’d certainly prove my worth.”
The others argued as well.
“Pick me!”
“I have potential too! If I’m allowed to have the Celestial Abode, I’ll surely be the greatest in the world.”
“Please consider me, Sir!”
The Overworld Outsiders stepped forward and voiced their thoughts.
James, on the other hand, remained silent. That was because he believed he would not stand a chance.
The shadow spoke, “Since I’ve emerged from my slumber, I ought to follow Master’s wishes and select a new owner of the Celestial Abode.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd was overjoyed.
The shadow continued, “However, I won’t be the judge to determine your worth. Long ago, my master set up nine barriers. Those who manage to pass the nine barriers shall be the new owner of the Celestial Abode.”
Upon hearing this, James regained his confidence. He might stand a chance in a fair fight.
He looked at Xandra and said, “Mount Bane is dangerous. You should return to Lothian for now and stay safe. Once everything here’s resolved, I’ll return to find you and purify your Demonic Energy.”
Xandra nodded and looked at him, saying, “Be careful, alright?”
“I will.”
Then, Xandra left.
More and more Overworld Outsiders appeared before the Celestial Abode. There were now approximately 3000 people. Since they traversed through the seal to arrive on Earth, they must be top-notch fighters.
