Chapter 1962
James thought for a while and said, “Is it the Outsiders from the Sealed Realm?”
The custodian gently shook her head. “Forget it. You won’t understand even if I told you outright. We’ll save this for the future. I brought you here because I plan to use the Demonic Lotus to reconstitute your physical body”
“What?” James’ incorporeal mouth hung agape.
He looked at the darkly glowing lotus before him and asked, “You’re going to use this lotus to remake my physical body?”
The custodian nodded and said, “That’s right. Earth’s ancestors managed to obtain this lotus after much hardship. This is part of a greater plan, but I can’t tell you much about it at the moment. If I tell you too much at this point, it’ll end up further burdening your psyche. What I can tell you is that you’re about to receive a great opportunity along with good fortune.”
She turned to look at the Demonic Lotus.
“The lotus’ original owner was a powerful man whose strength was beyond anything you could imagine Once we use the lotus to reconstitute your body, your potential will increase exponentially ”
James had no idea what to think about the idea of a larger plan, but it did not matter to him as long as he could be resurrected.
“Please save me, Ms. Custodian.”
“Be patient. It’ll take some time for me to refine the lotus. During this period, you need to stay here and refrain from roaming around. There is a formation here to ensure your soul doesn’t disappear.”
The custodian warned him.
“Alright.” James nodded.
The custodian waved her hand, and the black lotus hovered into her palms. Then, she left with it.
James stayed in place.
Time crept by day after day.
James waited a long time in the depths of the underground cavern. Initially, he was able to keep track of the time. One month passed, then two months, then three….
Eventually, his perception of time had been lost.
