Lyla wept inconsolably in James' arms, releasing all the pent-up emotions she had been holding inside. Every tear carried with it a mixture of grievances, sadness, longing, pain, helplessness, and even a hint of excitement.
This once formidable law enforcer who had commanded respect and fear, now resembled a vulnerable little girl, her tears flowing uncontrollably like raindrops.
If there was anything capable of breaking Lyla's cold front, it was James.
After what felt like an eternity, Lyla's sobs began to subside, eventually fading into silence. James looked down to see her wide, tear-filled eyes staring up at him, her grip on his arm tight as if afraid he would vanish into thin air.
Gradually, she fell into a deep slumber in James' arms.

As he held Lyla in his arms, James could not help but feel overwhelmed by the weight of her affection. Her persistence touched him deeply, yet it also burdened him with a sense of responsibility that he found difficult to bear.
He looked at her closed eyes and allowed her to rest peacefully, her breathing steady against his chest.
Turning his gaze back to the battlefield, James watched as his children fought valiantly against the relentless onslaught of the remnant souls. Despite the overwhelming odds, they displayed remarkable combat skills, utilizing the teachings of Yegor and the Celestial Sages to their fullest extent.
At that moment, James could not help but reflect on the trials he had faced. While he had achieved great fortunes and great proficiency in the Marciais Combat Form, he felt slightly incomplete. He felt guilty toward his children, his wife, and his loyal companions who had stood by his side through thick and thin.
With a determined resolve in his heart, James silently vowed to lead his companions to forge a brighter, more peaceful world, no matter the challenges that lay ahead.
After seeing that his children had gained control over the battle in the outer battlefield's fifth level, he promptly carried Lyla to the first level.
James tossed the Courageous Tower into the air, and a powerful fust of wind accompanied by a resounding hum emerged, causing tremors throughout the Forladtt Land's fourth level.
Countless Divine Tools and Spiritual Tools hidden within the Forladtt Land were immediately drawn together by the sweeping force, gradually forming into a golden body.
James infused Chaos and HongrEssence into the golden body, forming its internal organs, meridians, and bones.
As the radiance of his Marciais Power dissipated, a slim, towering, and exquisitely beautiful golden body materialized in the void, spinning gracefully amidst a halo of light. It exuded an aura of sanctity and grandeur, yet also possessed an irresistible allure.

This was James’ gift to Lyla, intended to greet her upon awakening and serve as a token of his appreciation for her.
As for Rebella and the others, he intended to assess their cultivation ranks before making any decisions.
Shortly after, Noel and Winnie materialized on both sides of James, their expressions instantly registering profound shock as they beheld the mesmerizing golden figure suspended before them in the void.
