James turned around and looked at Gladwin, saying, 'You've changed, but our bet hasn't." With a horrified expression, Gladwin said, "Why are you in the Genesis Worlds? Don’t you know about Tai Chi's decree to kill you?" James sneered, "So what? Don't tellyou're aftertoo?" Gladwin felt a shiver down his spine and quickly lowered his head, thinking to himself, 'Are you kidding me? You possess unfathomable strength right now. Even Xachary who had suddenly surged to the Xaeclon Rank was no match for you. I'd be seeking my death if | were to go after your life.” Under James' scrutiny, Gladwin suddenly asked, "Where's Xachary? Did you kill him?" "Is that what you're hoping for? That way you can take over the Timaeus Sect and Righteous Alliance?" James said smilingly.
Gladwin's face instantly showed embarrassment after his thoughts were exposed.
James put his hands behind his back and slowly walked behind Gladwin, saying, "Don't worry. You'll prove useless in your own ways. However, you must fulfill our bet first." Gladwin abruptly turned around and said, "Forty-nine.Jf | leave the Timaeus Sect and Righteous Alliance, then the Tai Chi Messenger would definitely..." James interrupted, saying, "She's gone. The Tai Chi Messenger in the New Alliance as well. From now on, | have the final say in the Genesis Worlds." Gladwin felt like he had been struck by lightning. He stuttered, "W-what about Tai Chi..." James said with dissatisfaction, "You're not even at the Xaeclon Rank, but have so much to say. Are you trying to go against your word?" Gladwin trembled after sensing James' suddenly murderous aura. He immediately bowed, clasped his hands, and said, "Forty-nine...I mean, My Lord. I'm counting on you to stand up for US." With a thud, he fell to his knees.

Observing Gladwin, James reminisced about his former vigor and assertiveness when dispatching his cadre of disciples to the Forladtt Land. The recollection stirred a whirlwind of emotions within him.
The tides had changed for them. Strength was indeed the basis that determined one's identity and status.
James stood with his hands clasped behind his back and ordered, "The nof your new force is Mietchi Sect.
While maintaining a presence in the current Genesis Region, you are authorized to expand into the territories of the New Alliance and the Righteous Alliance.
You are to neither comply with the directives of the Righteous Alliance nor those of the New Alliance. Your primary mission is to disrupt the harmony of the Genesis Worlds, to sow chaos and discord. The more tumultuous the situation, the better." Gladwin, who was kneeling before James, widened his eyes in astonishment.
James continued, saying, "If you excel in this mission, | will reward you with a golden body, granting you the opportunity to ascend to the Xaeclon Rank." Gladwin's eyes lit up with hope. He asked tentatively, 'A-are you serious?" However, James' expression turned cold as he warned, "If you fail to meet expectations, I'll deliver you to the clutches of the Demonic Spirit, who will feast on you alive." Gladwin observed James's unsettling smile, he felt chills and quickly bowed his head to the ground in submission.
He braced himself to be cursed. However, after a while, nothing had happened to him.

He cautiously raised his head but realized James had already vanished without a trace, leaving behind no evidence of his presence.
Gladwin straightened up and said emotionally, "Forty-nine, Forty-nine...
You've really becan unparalleled force. Fortunately, | didn't have any conflict with you while in the Timaeus Sect." After reflecting, Gladwin stood up his eyes lit up as he murmured, "The Xaeclon Rank, huh? | hope it's true." With newfound resolve, Gladwin transformed into a golden light and ascended into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.
