The old man was a human.
During James’ fight against Heaven’s Adjudicators a hundred thousand years ago, the old man was only a cultivator at the Sage Rank. However, the whole universe was watching the battle.
James’ face was already engraved in the minds of many humans.
“J-Ja…”
The old man hurriedly got up from the ground. He tried to reply but kept stuttering.
James grabbed him and disappeared from the tavern in a flash.
The next moment, they arrived in a deserted place outside the city.
James put down the old man.
“J-James Caden? It’s you, right? Y-You’re still alive?”
The old man’s voice trembled.
“Repeat the story to me.”
James stared at the old man with teary eyes and asked, “D-Did you say Thea turned into the last part of the Ancestral God Rank Elixir?”
The old man was startled.
Everyone knew that happened a hundred thousand years ago. Could James really still be in the dark?
Thinking that James had already died in the battle a hundred thousand years ago, he immediately dismissed the possibility that the man before him was James.
Despite concluding it could not be James, the man before him was still incredibly powerful. The old man knew he did not stand a chance and chose to reply truthfully to his question, “Yeah. It was announced by the Human Realm’s Lord, Xandros. He wanted all of humanity to remember James and Thea. If not for Thea’s sacrifice to complete the Ancestral God Rank Elixir for James to consume, the human race would’ve ceased to exist back then.”
After hearing the old man’s confirmation, James froze in place as if he were struck by lightning.
His mind went black, and he completely zoned out.
By the time he recomposed himself, the old man had already left.
