Chapter 5484
James, Thea, and Zeno remained crouched on the ground. Many powerhouses gathered
around, but none of them made a move. Instead, they looked at Gustav, whose face was
terrifyingly grim.
Numerous powerhouses had gathered, and Gustav had paid a significant price to claim the
title of the world's number one, securing the Boundarybreaker Rune. Little did he know
that the rune was snatched away before it could reach his hands. Taking what belonged to
him was akin to seeking death.
"What's your name, race, and origin?" Gustav questioned coldly, his face darkening.
James promptly responded, "My name is James Caden. I belong to the Human Race and
come from a world outside the Prison World. I entered here to find the primitive
inscriptions of the Metallum, Silva, and Tellus Race. We have no acquaintance with that

black piggy. It's an ancient beast born in the previous Dunhamvale World. Many living
beings witnessed it, including Mr. Sinclair, who was imprisoned deep within the million
mountains of Dunhamvale World and was aware of this."
James’ words carried significant information.
"From the outside world?” Gustav frowned and asked, "Are you a patroller of the Prison
World?"
"No, I’m not," James hurriedly explained. He was aware of the Prison World's patrollers.
Before the oil lamp was stolen, there were indeed patrollers who used the lamp to inspect
the situation in the Prison World.
"The oil lamp that entered the Prison World was stolen by Theron Terrell, the Pavilion
Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and also a descendant of the Tribunal Race. He
was injured in the process, and the oil lamp's whereabouts are still unknown. I recently

found the oil lamp as well."
"Lock them up," ordered Gustav.
Subsequently, James, Thea, and Zeno had their cultivation bases sealed and were
imprisoned in the dungeons of Eminence Academy. The academy then began an extensive
search for Quattro.
During this time, powerhouses from the academy interrogated James and the others. They
disclosed everything they knew, including their origins, without any concealment.
Quattro remained hidden. Even when Eminence Academy combined forces with several
major forces in the Prison World, they could not find it.
In the main hall of Eminence Academy, Gustav sat at the forefront, with James, Thea, and
Zeno beneath him.
"James Caden, right?" Gustav looked at James and asked.
"Yes." James nodded, saying, "We really have no connection with that black piggy. We
didn’t expect him to dare take something from Eminence Academy."

With that, James took out the oil lamp and continued, "I have the oil lamp. I can freely
enter and exit the Prison World. I've no reason to risk seizing a Boundarybreaker Rune
capable of traversing all formations."
"I'll believe you for now," Gustav said indifferently and then asked, "What's the situation in
the outside world now?"
James truthfully replied, "Since you and the other seniors were imprisoned in the Prison
World, the Dark World has entered an era dominated by the Four Ancient Races,
specifically the Yeftero, Suunteli, Zoltrumm, and Mevryee Race. However, the Yeftero Race
is quite overbearing, and they attempted to dominate the Dark World. Over countless
years, they have incited numerous conflicts, including alliances against the Glaciem Race,
with the aim of overturning the Mevryees. However, the turmoil among the Mevryees was
eventually resolved by the new generation leader of the Mevryee Race."
James briefly explained the current situation in the Dark World.
"Hmph,” Gustav snorted. "If it weren’t for the defeat back then, if the races weren't
imprisoned, would the Yeftero Race have the audacity to act so arrogantly?"
