James never expected Youri to treat Hirah with so much respect.
However, the Grand Patriarch had already given James the Chaos Sacred Art. Thus, James assumed that Hirah had already acknowledged him as the next head of the Doom Race.
Moreover, the Grand Patriarch himself was the one that stepped forward and appointed Wyot as the Doom Race’s next patriarch when he was still very weak.
Jame sighed in relief. He infiltrated the Doom Race to become a high-ranking member and sow discord among the Greater Realms. He wanted to secretly incite a huge war between the various races and buy time for Thea’s plans.
Once the Greater Realms were in chaos, Thea could eliminate the Watchers hidden in the Dark World and create a new world. Afterward, it would mark the rise of the Human Race.
However, Hirah shook his head and said, “I’ve always expected great things from you, Wyot, and have been grooming you to be the next successor. I know your ambitions, but you’re not fit to lead the Doom Race on its conquest over the Greater Realms right now.”
James was slightly taken aback by Hirah’s words. Dolph was also startled, unable to understand why the Grand Patriarch would say such things.
Hirah looked at Youri and said, “Youri has already reached the Omniscience Path’s Ninth Stage, and has the strength necessary to lead the Doom Race as its new patriarch. Once he has the Blithe Omniscience, he’ll be undefeatable. With him at the helm, the Doom Race will definitely become the rulers of the Greater Realms.”
Dolph immediately stepped forward and said, “Grand Patriarch! Our Chaos Sacred Art is just as good as the Omniscience Path. We survived the Sky Burial Age with it. Are we going to throw away our roots and cultivate the Human Race’s Supernatural Power? Do we have to stoop to using the Human Race’s Supernatural Power to conquer the Greater Realms?”
Dolph was strongly against the decision.
“You insolent fool!”
Hirah shouted, “Are you questioning my judgement, Dolph? It doesn’t matter whether it’s the Blithe Omniscience or the Chaos Sacred Art, they’re both left behind by ancient oracles. They belong to everyone and don’t exclusively belong to anyone. You’ve been the Doom Race’s Patriarch for so long, yet you haven’t understood this?”
“But…”
Dolph still wanted to argue his point.
However, Hirah shouted, “I won’t hear another word! As long as I’m still alive, I have the final say on the Doom Race’s affairs. This matter is settled.”
James quickly recomposed himself after the sudden decision.
