Chapter 3124
James knew that Benedict would not obey him entirely without giving him some benefits. Besides, he was worried
that Benedict would conspire to set him up. That way, not only would they fail to annihilate the Sanctuary, but even
the Pavilion could be implicated.
Benedict was moved. He knew just how powerful Curse Magic was. All these years, he had only obtained a handful
of Curse Inscriptions despite his many years of service for the Sanctuary. If James was willing to teach him Curse
Magic, this was a great deal.
He looked at James and said, "I have a question."
James said, "Ask away."
Benedict asked, "Where do you come from?"
James glanced at him. After a few seconds, he said slowly, "I come from the future."
"The future?" Benedict froze.

James nodded and said, "Yes."
Then, he briefly described the Four Calamities of humankind on Earth.
"I came to the Boundless Realm from the future looking for a silver lining for humankind. As for my strength, don't
even bother guessing. You only need to know that the Sanctuary's Chancellor, whose strength was equivalent to the
Grand Emperor Rank's Ninth Heaven after absorbing immense Curse Power in the Cursed World of the Eidolon
Realm, I managed to defeat him regardless."
James' rank was insignificant. However, all this while, he was an extremely powerful figure in the eye of others.
Now, he was starting to play the role.
After he spoke, he unconsciously scratched his nose.
Benedict knew of the events that unfolded in the Cursed World of the Eidolon Realm. As he had joined the
Sanctuary, he knew of the affairs that occurred. He never expected that James was the mysterious person who
ruined the plans of the Sanctuary. With such a powerful figure on the Pavilion's side, they should be able to
annihilate the Sanctuary easily.
"What do you need me to do?" Benedict asked.

James said, 'Though the Elixir Gathering has begun, the Sanctuary did not make any move. They must have sensed
that something was amiss. I want you to tell them that everything's alright in the Pavilion and that they have the
green light to proceed."
Benedict nodded and said, "Sure."
James said, "I don’t trust you that much. So, swear a Heavenly Oath."
Hearing this, Benedict did not hesitate at all and immediately swore a Heavenly Oath.
Seeing this, James was relieved. Though the Heavenly Path could no longer control a Grand Emperor, this did not
mean that Grand Emperors could do as they please. Otherwise, they could be annihilated nonetheless. Thus, even a
Grand Emperor was bound to a Heavenly Oath.
"Why don't you start by releasing my seal?" Benedict looked at James.
James scratched his head awkwardly. Since there was no way for him to remove the seal Silvester applied, he had
to summon Silvester who was outside the dungeon.

Soon, he arrived.
James said to him, "Everything’s alright now. You can release his seal."
Silvester believed in James’ words. Without saying a word, he simply removed the seal on Benedict.
After successfully convincing Benedict, they had a much easier time convincing the others.
Next, James wandered about the dungeon and convinced many of those who were imprisoned. Some, however,
were adamantly loyal to the Sanctuary, and James could not convince them to change sides no matter what. Since
there was no point in leaving them alive, Silvester simply turned them to ashes.
At that moment, many people gathered at the holy site of the Pavilion. In the lead was Silvester, and behind him
were Benedict and many of those who were convinced to change sides.
James looked at them and said, "All preparations have been made. Now, we just have to wait for the Sanctuary to
arrive. Send a message to the Sanctuary and tell them everything’s normal in here. Also, tell them that the Old
Master and the current Master are injured and that their injuries will not heal in a short while."
Benedict nodded slightly.
Then, he sat in a lotus position on the ground and began catalyzing a secret art to communicate with Tamuuz, the
Deputy Leader.
At the same time, outside the Elixir Realm...
