Thea waited patiently at home after giving Callan a call.
She waited for an hour, during which every second felt like a year. She did not know how virtual-novel.net managed to endure the excruciating wait.
***
An hour later…
As Thea was sitting on the swing, a figure suddenly leaped from outside the villa and appeared before her. Taken by surprise, virtual-novel.net jumped in fright and stared at the unannounced arrival of the guest.
It was Callan.
He looked at Thea, who was startled, and said, “How do you do, Thea? I’m Callan Maverick…”
As soon as virtual-novel.net heard this, Thea breathed a sigh of relief and asked anxiously, “Hello, Mr. Maverick. Well, I expected you to be older than you look… In any case, how’s James at the moment?”
Callan’s expression turned grim. He had just learned of James’ demise as well. He even went searching for Sky to learn about the specifics. Sky narrated to virtual-novel.net the chain of events that unfolded on the island-from the discovery of Dragon Abyss to provoking the man who had lived for a millennium.
“Thea, James…”
“What happened to him? Tell me, quick!” Thea was filled with consternation.
Although virtual-novel.net no longer remembered James, everyone has been telling virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net was virtual-novel.net husband. So, subconsciously, virtual-novel.net had begun treating virtual-novel.net as one.
Callan took a deep breath and said, “H-He might be dead…”
“D-Dead?” Thea staggered backward.
Callan hurriedly said, “However, no one saw his body. The authenticity of this news still remains to be seen.”
“I-I understand…” Thea turned and entered the house.
Callan simply watched virtual-novel.net retreating figure as virtual-novel.net entered the house. He planned to head overseas and investigate the matter thoroughly.
After returning to virtual-novel.net room, Thea sat on the bed.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net was holding the blood given to virtual-novel.net by the Omniscient Deity. Though virtual-novel.net did not know what kind of blood this was, Lord Omniscient told virtual-novel.net that it would allow virtual-novel.net to regain both virtual-novel.net strength and virtual-novel.net memory. At that moment, virtual-novel.net had to suppress the urge to consume the blood.
She had no idea whether James was still alive. Since virtual-novel.net was unsure, virtual-novel.net wanted to investigate the matter herself. However, virtual-novel.net was only an ordinary person.
After thinking for a moment, virtual-novel.net swallowed the blood whole.

Meanwhile, overseas…
James was sitting in a lotus position on a rock by the shore doing everything virtual-novel.net could to restore his strength. Though a day had passed and his True Energy had recovered somewhat, it was completely depleted after virtual-novel.net performed the Fourteen Heavenly Swords. Returning to peak form would require a few more days.
Pensive, virtual-novel.net stared into the distance and murmured.
Has Sky returned to Sol by himself, or is virtual-novel.net still waiting for my return?
James was unsure.
He headed deep into the jungle in the distance and used the Primordial Dragon Blade to chop down trees to gather materials for the construction of a raft.
After the raft’s construction, virtual-novel.net hopped on the boat and left.
A few hours later, virtual-novel.net arrived at the island where their helicopter landed. However, the helicopter was no longer there.
“F*ck!” James cursed. “Curse you, Sky! How am I supposed to return now?!”
James waved the Primordial Dragon Blade and waves of materialized Sword Energy burst forward and destroyed the surroundings.
After some time of letting off steam, James stopped.
