Suddenly, James asked, "It's beautiful, right? Want one?" Upon hearing James' words, Noel and Winnie were taken aback. Their expressions resembled those of individuals who had unexpectedly encountered ghosts in broad daylight.
"You two have reached great heights in cultivation, but haven't reached the stage where you can merge with a golden body. Perhaps if you kill another trillion remnant souls that are at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank's Ninth Tribulation's Consummation, you might qualify." Winnie immediately recomposed and positioned herself in front of James.
"Dad, you...you..." she stammered, evidently at a loss for words.
"Yeah, it's me. At least you remember. Indeed the eldest is always the most sensible one," James said with a chuckle.
Winnie suddenly burst into tears and threw herself into James' arms.

"I thought I'd never see you again. | asked Master about you so many times. | even tried getting information from Aunt Lyla and Aunt Rebella, but they wouldn't say anything. It was like your whereabouts was a secret being kept from us.
"I thought you didn't want us anymore, and we'd be fatherless," Winnie sobbed.
Listening to Winnie's rants, James gently patted her back. However, his smile gradually faded and tears welled in his eyes.
He might not be the most qualified husband, father, leader, or friend. However, the fact that everyone never left him, was the greatest blessing he could ask for.
"Why are you crying? Maybe this is just an illusion that Aunt Lyla forged to test us. If Dad really cback, the Genesis Worlds would be in chaos and there would be bloodshed everywhere. However, we haven't heard anything about turmoil breaking loose in the Genesis Worlds yet.
"Moreover, Aunt Lyla is still in his hands. Be careful not to be fooled, or else you might end up punished again." Winnie, who was nestled in James' arms, quickly pulled away. She put sdistance between them and stared at James warily. It seemed that Noel's words had struckpeghord of doubt within her.
Seeing their cautiousness, James was at a loss.
Noel's unexpected reaction caught James off guard. Not only was he extremely calm, but he was suspicious.
Winnie wiped away her tears, pointed at James, and shouted, “Who are you? How dare you pretend to be my father? I'll kill you!" James found the situation ridiculous and amusing.
"What are you waiting for? Let's take him down!" Noel urged, instantly slashing his sword at James.
In a swift motion, his Sword Energy imbued with the power of heaven and earth materialized into two ferocious tigers, one gray and one yellow. They immediately growled and lunged toward James.

Despite the sudden onslaught from his children, James remained composed and a small smile graced his lips.
To the astonishment of Winnie and Noel, their formidable attacks met a seemingly impenetrable barrier —a faint black light shield that absorbed their strikes effortlessly.
They were unable to inflict even the slightest harm.
"This...What kind of monster is this?" Winnie exclaimed, eyes widened in shock.
"What in the world? Is it a being at the Daeclon Rank?" James covered his mouth in shock.
James chuckled awkwardly, shaking his head after listening to their words.
"Let's join forces! If we can't defeat him, Aunty Lyla might punish us again," Noel suggested with determination.
"Alright." Winnie wasted no time. She conjured an oval-shaped light shield in the air. Then, with a swift motion, she drew her longsword and channeled her righteous aura into it. Inmediately, countless dazzling Sword Lights filled the sky.
