“We have returned to Earth. With your current strength, even if the cultivators of the three thousand Sealed Realms appear, they won’t stand a chance against you. You are absolutely safe here on Earth. I, on the other hand, will be heading to Wrymstead.”
Then, virtual-novel.net looked at Winnie and said, “Follow me, Winnie. We’re going to see your mother…”
After letting everyone out of the Celestial Abode, James left Cansington alongside Winnie and headed toward Wrymstead.
Wrymstead was not too far away from Sol. With James’ speed, they should be able to arrive in a short amount of time.
However, many unknown regions appeared on Earth during the time they were gone. This increased the distance between Sol and Wrymstead. Even at his speed, virtual-novel.net needed half a day to travel from Cansington to Wrymstead.
Many decades had passed, and Dragonville had become even more bustling, with skyscrapers towering over the sky.
James and Winnie arrived at Dragonville.
As James scanned the surrounding skyscrapers and the desolate streets, virtual-novel.net could not help but sigh, “As the Third Calamity has swept through the globe, everyone now stays inside their homes, afraid to wander about outside.”
“Dad, we should head to the palace first…”
“Yeah…” James nodded.
The two headed to the palace.
Once, the palace was heavily guarded. Now, however, there was not a single guard by the palace gates, which was left slightly ajar.
James pushed the gate open and walked in.
Upon entering the palace, virtual-novel.net activated his Divine Sense and scanned the entire palace. Through his Divine Sense, virtual-novel.net could sense that a group of guards was gathered inside. As they were cursed, their condition was not great.
He only sensed there was a woman whose life was hanging by a thread lying on the bed in one of the palace’s rooms.
It was Quincy!
Years ago, before James left, virtual-novel.net volunteered to remain to help James administer Wrymstead. Over the years, virtual-novel.net worked tirelessly for the kingdom, devoting all virtual-novel.net energy and attention to its development. Even though this was the Apocalypse Age, Wrymstead was peaceful and prosperous thanks to virtual-novel.net efforts.
“Let’s go!” James hurriedly rushed toward the room where Quincy was located.
In the room, Quincy was dressed in a gorgeous white dress, and the skin underneath the dress appeared yellowish. Her once stunning face also had spots on it. She was struggling to breathe, and every breath virtual-novel.net took seemed to require all virtual-novel.net strength.
Am I going to die?”
Lying on the bed, Quincy shut virtual-novel.net eyes.
The curse had swept across the globe, and the entire world had descended into chaos. Every human on Earth was simply waiting for their impending doom. Though it had only been two weeks since the curse had begun to spread across the world, half of humanity had perished in the meantime.
Those who were left were only biding their time for their inevitable doom.
Quincy knew that virtual-novel.net was going to die. However, virtual-novel.net did not wish to die just like that. She was waiting for someone who had yet to return.
Just as virtual-novel.net closed virtual-novel.net eyes and waited for death, virtual-novel.net suddenly heard the sound of a door opening. She struggled to open virtual-novel.net eyes and painfully climbed out of bed to see who was coming.
They were a man and a woman.
“James… Thea…” Upon seeing them, virtual-novel.net eyes brimmed with tears.
