There were some differences between the living beings of the Dark World and the Illuminated World. The moment a living being of the Illuminated World stepped into the Dark World, his presence would immediately be detected. This meant that the living beings of the Illuminated World would have a tough time moving around in the Dark World.
“What happened?” Jabari asked puzzledly.
James fell into deep contemplation. After some time, he said, “Back then, you sacrificed yourself and performed Blossoming the Forbidden Art…”
James began to narrate the past events — from Jabari’s death, the Fourth Calamity on Earth, Thea becoming the Ancestral God Rank Elixir, resolving the crisis of the Fourth Calamity, using the Time Capsule to return to the Primeval Age in search of Thea, the creation of the Thirteenth Universe, his death in the Thirteenth Universe, his cultivation of Chaos, his return to this age, his journey to the First Universe, his encounter with Sienna Callahan, and him teaching the Path in the Twelfth Universe before finally arriving at the Dark World. James narrated all the events that happened in the past.
“I came here to the Dark World with two objectives in mind. One, I came here in search of Yukia Dearnaley to learn more about this world. Two, I came here searching for you. I detected your presence in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the Dark World. Then, I found your aura in the Xaadsans. There, I learned that you had escaped to the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone, hence my appearance.”
James narrated the events that occurred at the Xaadsans.
“Nonsense!” Xulia berated James.
James knew that events did not transpire as people say. He knew that Jabari had no interest in gaining power. So why would he be involved in so many conspiracies just to be the Patriarch of the Xaadsans?
Jabari said, “That’s not true. Xulia and I met as we trained together. We overcame many obstacles together. In the end, she brought me to the Xaadsans where I stayed for some time. The Xaadsans are a huge family. As such, they have many internal conflicts. Though Xulia’s father is the Patriarch, many people are disgruntled. My appearance instilled a sense of urgency and danger in them. If they allow me to grow further, Xulia’s bloodline will be able to have complete control of the Xaadsans. So, they concocted a plot to frame me and Xulia. As I was poisoned, I was no match for them. So, I could only escape alongside Xulia.”
Jabari briefly explained the chain of events that occurred.
“Mhm.” James nodded slightly and said, “We just have to annihilate them once we leave the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone.”
James said nonchalantly for he could not care less about the Xaadsans.
