James emphasized, “It's crucial to grasp one thing.

Regardless of whether Xanthakos commands the Gate of Mystery or not, his Primordial Spirit resides here.

“So, whether he reigns as the head of the Five Path Emperors, seizes control of the Forty- Ninth Heaven, or even commands the Wuia Temple and the Path Designation Bead, he remains bound to my will.” Lesia glanced at the others and said, “Then there’s no need for us to leave...” "No, leaving is imperative,” James interjected, narrowing his gaze.

“Only through your efforts will the Forty-Ninth Heaven maintain equilibrium.

We need the three forces to merge into one.” “How do we achieve this unity?” Yianni questioned, furrowing his brow.

James replied, “Xanthakos may perish, but the Qadeer Sect must survive.

In essence, Xanthakos must be replaced, but the Qadeer Sect must persist.” Though complex, all present, being astute, comprehended the essence of James’ words.

While Xanthakos’ demise was admissible, James’ ultimate objective was to take control of the Xanthakos Sect.

Timing, then, became pivotal —when to facilitate Xanthakos’ demise and assume command of the sect was a matter of strategic calculation.

Confronting the fiery deluge, Morgott, Yianni, and Lesia swiftly coordinate to create a barrier in defense.
