Chapter 5384
Influential figures from the Dark World's Four Ancient Races gathered inside the Yefteros’
main hall for an emergency meeting.
The Yefteros' Great Elder, Halianor, sat in the highest seat. To his side was the Yefteros'
Saint, Yui.
Despite the packed crowd inside the main hall, the atmosphere was tense, and nobody
spoke.
Halianor scanned everyone’s face and broke the silence, saying, "What's wrong? Have you
all lost your voices?"
At that moment, Jerry from the Suuntelis stepped forward and said, "Sir Halianor, this isn’t
our fault. While at the Glaciem Holy Land, we were under Yui’s command. He made the
decision, and we simply followed. If he had not wasted time on the disciple from
Theognostos, the Glacies' princess wouldn't have escaped. She bought enough time to
gain the strength to withstand Yui's attack and escaped unharmed. She'll become a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtproblem soon.”
Halianor replied calmly, "Now’s not the time to be pinning the blame on someone. You
should be thinking about what to do next.”
Saul from the Zoltrumms said, "I doubt Theognostos or a puppet created by a powerhouse
at the Transcendental
Bliss Rank even exists. The powerful man who showed up was most likely the powerhouse
of the Glacies that failed to enter the Transcendental Bliss Rank. He was in that strange
state because of failing to make his breakthrough."
His words brought about a new possibility, and everyone was slightly convinced.
However, Yuvin stepped forward and said, "If he wasn't from Theognostos, then why does
he have such a terrifying physical body? His cultivation is only at the Petit Celestial Rank's
late stage, but he withstood Yui's attacks. That's unusual. After the Glacies were
destroyed, we’ve been constantly searching for their princess. Where else could she have
gone if she didn't gain shelter with Theognostos? We would’ve found her if she was hiding
anywhere else."
Yuvin wanted to prevent James' identity from being exposed. To the Mevryees, James was
now a crucial chess piece in their plan. They needed James and the Glacies’ princess to
stir up trouble for the Yefteros.
Halianor turned to Yui and asked, "What do you think?"
Yui fell into thought and said, "The Glacies' hidden powerhouses are a mere rumor. Nobody
from the Ancient Four Races has personally witnessed him fail to enter the Transcendental
Bliss Rank. It's just a rumor spread from within the Glacies. As for the man claiming to be a
disciple of Theognostos...
"He did indeed have an exceptional physical body. His body's defenses were passive, as
his cultivation rank was too low, and he couldn't manually summon the power in his body.
"I can't comment on Theognostos, though. The Transcendental Bliss Rank, and even the
Quasi Bliss Rank, has always been a myth. There hasn't been anyone in the Primevals who
has successfully reached these ranks. My father has been in seclusion for a very long
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtime, but even he hasn’t reached the threshold to enter the Quasi Bliss Rank."
Halianor listened carefully. Then, he asked, "Then do you think Theognostos really exists?"
Yui shook his head lightly and answered, "I can't give a certain answer. There are too many
unexplored regions in the Dark World and so many secrets yet to be discovered. There
may be mysteries that we haven’t unraveled yet."
Halianor frowned and said, "If Theognostos does exist, and the Glacies' princess is
connected to them, then she will become a significant threat to the Four Ancient Races.
She's going to secretly cause a lot of trouble for us.
Yui suggested, "Our top priority should be verifying whether Theognostos exists. If it is
real, we must find out why there hasn’t been any news about them for so long. Why are
they showing up now? At the same time, we must locate the Glacies' princess as soon as
possible."
The powerhouses continued with their meeting, discussing countermeasures for their
survival.
Yuvin occasionally chipped in to not raise suspicion. After the meeting, he temporarily
settled down in the Yefteros’ territory. On his trip this time, he was accompanied by Thea.
