“Are you sure she’s the last Heaven’s Adjudicator?”
James looked at Melinda.
However, Melinda did not respond to his question. She observed the formation ahead and murmured, “A formation laid down by an Ancestral God will be difficult to break.”
Melinda did not say much.
James fell into deep thought.
He felt there was more to Melinda’s words than she implied.
Silvester, Helvius, and Nico listened intently.
They had heard of Heaven’s Adjudicators before but only read about them in ancient books and were unsure of the details. Now they finally met someone who has knowledge about Heaven’s Adjudicators.
Silvester asked. “It’s rumored that Heaven’s Adjudicators judge the living beings that violate the Heavenly Path’s rules. Is that true?”
Melinda glanced at Silvester and replied, “Yes, and no.”
Confused, Silvester inquired, “What do you mean?”
After a brief thought, Melinda replied, “Let me put it this way. The Heavenly Path was created by a powerful person. It’s like a set of rules that govern the universe.
“The Heaven’s Ajudicators are the Heavenly Path’s confidants. They’re not under the control of the Heavenly Path. They’re not only able to kill those that defy the Heavenly Path but can also kill any living being as they wish.
“For example, you created the Elixir Pavilion and established the rules there. All the disciples of the Elixir Pavilion must abide by your rules and those that violate the rules will be punished accordingly. However, those with authority in your sect can convict anyone.”
After her explanation, everyone obtained a clearer understanding.
James looked at her and asked. “Who are you exactly?”
Melinda smiled but did not answer his question.
Afterward, she looked at James and said, “The formation is multi-layered. There are about thirty thousand layers. I’m only capable of breaking the foremost layers. You’ll need to break the last layer yourself.”
“Me?!” James was taken aback.
