Chapter 4497
Henry looked sacred and mysterious as a golden radiance emitted from his body.
Many of the powerhouses gathered in the hall were envious at the sight.
The Heavenly Lord of the Heavenly Court was a high status among the humans. A
Heavenly Lord would occupy a tremendous amount of luck, only inferior to the Heavenly
Court's Lord.
Moreover, a Heavenly Lord could borrow the Heavenly Path’s Powers.
Jacopo continued with the appointment. "Sophie."
A slender, beautiful woman wearing a blue dress walked out of the crowd and got down on
one knee.
"Yes, my Lord."
Sophie used to be James’ mentor and was highly respected by him. Despite that, she
followed proper protocol before the Heavenly Court's Lord.

Jacopo waved his hand, and a powerful force emerged to pull Sophie back to her feet. He
said smilingly, "As a Heavenly Lord, you need not kneel before me."
Sophie stood straight, awaiting the announcement.
"You've been nominated by my parents and have received the Heavenly Path's blessing as
well. I now name you as the Heavenly Lord of the Second Heaven."
A golden light immediately shone down on her. Sophie went through a transformation, and
her aura increased tremendously.
"I object!" called out a voice from the hall.
Everyone immediately turned in the direction of the source.
A man wearing a black robe strode forward.
It was the Omnipotent Lord, the former Lord of the First Universe.
Jacopo looked at the Omnipotent Lord and asked, "What is the reason you object?"
The Omnipotent Lord replied, "She is not qualified to be a Heavenly Lord. Her cultivation

rank is too low to be worthy of such a title."
When James was still weak, Sophie was indeed considered a powerhouse.
However, she had been improving rather slowly. After such a long time, she had not
reached the Quasi Acme Rank yet and was still a Macrocosm Ancestral God.
The Omnipotent Lord looked at the other powerhouses in the hall and laughed aloud, "If a
Macrocosm Ancestral God like her can become a Heavenly Lord, everyone here is
qualified. Instead of the Thirty-Three Heavens, why don't you create a Three-Million
Heavens and make everyone here a Heavenly Lord?"
James and Thea silently watched from aside.
"Presumptuous!" Jacopo's face darkened. He waved his hand and unleashed a powerful
force. Unable to withstand the pressure, the Omnipotent Lord was forced to his knees.
Jacopo shouted, "After the battle in the Primordial Realm Era, the humans had entered a
dark age. Who led the humans back to glory? It was the Human Race's matron, Thea, as

well as James. During this period, there have been many obstacles. When my father was
still weak, Sophie was the one that guided him. She saved him time and time again, even
almost sacrificing her life for him.
"Without Sophie, my father would have never achieved what he did today.
"And without my father, the humans would not have peace.
"If Sophie is not qualified, then who is?
'The Designation Book is a list of names nominated by my parents. However, they will
have to be approved by the Heavenly Path. Since her name has remained in the
Designation Book, she has already obtained the Heavenly Path’s blessings."
Jacopo’s assertive voice resounded through the hall, leaving the Omnipotent Lord
speechless.
After making his point, Jacopo withdrew his force. The Omnipotent Lord was relieved from
the pressure and stood up from the ground. His face was pale as he silently returned to
the crowd.
James' smiled faintly at the sight and tightly held onto Thea's hand. He was satisfied with
how Jacopo handled the situation.
