“Melinda Theophanes.”
Hearing her name, Melinda froze momentarily before stepping forward.
Jacopo said, “Melinda Theophanes, you were instrumental in resolving the Fourth Calamity of the Human Race. As such, you shall be made the Grand Priestess of the Heavenly Court.”
“Alright, then.”
Melinda could only reluctantly agree.
She had no interest whatsoever in becoming the Heavenly Court’s Grand Priestess. However, she suspected that this was James’ plan. He was worried that the Human Race would descend into chaos once he was gone. By tying her to the Heavenly Court, she was also tied to the fate of the Human Race as well as Jacopo.
The coronation ceremony continued.
Some well-renowned humans were also appointed as important figures of the Heavenly Court.
James was not in the main hall. Rather, he was at the South Heaven Gate. Sitting at the South Heaven Gate, he sensed everything that was happening in the main hall. Sensing that the coronation ceremony was a complete success, a faint smile crept up on his face.
“The Heavenly Court’s matters are finally dealt with. It’s now time to search for Thea.”
Thea had always been on James’ mind. She was not dead. Her original form remained in the Primeval Age, and the part of her that transformed into the Ancestral God Rank Elixir was only a remnant of her original form. So, James wanted to head to the Primeval Age to investigate.
After the coronation ceremony ended, many turned to leave.
The sound of footsteps came.
James stood up and turned around to see Melinda.
Melinda walked toward him and asked, “When will you leave?”
James shook his head slightly and said, “I don’t know yet. The time I will traverse during my journey to the Primeval Age will be long. Even if I possess the Time Capsule that can traverse the River of Time, I have no guarantees of returning to the Primeval Age. Perhaps I need the power of all the powerful figures of the Human Race to stimulate the Time Capsule together to make it work.”
Melinda said, “In that case, let’s do just that, then.”
