Mordecai and Dillon exchanged glances and laughed. James had shown them mutual understanding and trust, which needed no words.
Mordecai and Dillon valued faith and loyalty above all else, unlike the Waitara Path. These fundamental principles set them apart.
Mordecai bowed to James and said, "I will await your orders in the Preston Region. The thirty-six unorthodox sects will follow your command without hesitation, even unto death."
Dillon laughed, "I'll also be waiting for orders at Mount Zacharias. However, could you send some Chaos Absinthe with the messenger?"
James nodded with a smile, then watched them transform into light beams and disappear.
A moment later, Taiyi, Yasmina, Wesley, and Taichu, who had just been conferred with godhood, landed beside James.
Taiyi asked doubtfully, "Do you trust them that much?"
Yasmina took a deep breath and added, "They're like ticking time bombs. Even the Waitara Path was wary of them. Your position as the Supreme Path isn't secure yet. If they were to..."
Wesley interrupted and said solemnly, "Mordecai and Dillon are unruly and fiery-tempered. They might have the ambition to seize control of the Haleth Realm and challenge the Supreme Path. However, they will never turn against James."
Taiyi, Yasmina, and Taichu looked at Wesley, their faces full of skepticism.
Wesley continued, "Simply put,
elive
James is the only person who could gain their loyalty. It's his personality and charm, not just his position as the Supreme Path. As long as James is the Supreme Path, they will be his most loyal protectors. This is something the Waitara Path could never achieve."
Listening to Wesley's words, Taiyi, Yasmina, and Taichu looked surprised. They realized that James had known their characters all along, hence his confidence in letting them go.
Reflecting on it, they understood that they did not believe in James because he became the Supreme Path, but because they were captivated by his charm.
The Waitara Path was derived from the Forty-Nine Daoisms, but he abused his authority to the extreme. His power was built on schemes and distrust.
On the other hand, James was charismatic despite being a Historial being. His greatness lay in wisdom, bearing, benevolence, faithfulness, ambition, and prestige.
Ultimately the Supreme Path was
just a position, a status that could be taken away at any time. However, charisma could only be built through hardships. It could not be destroyed. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Even if the Daoism of Life and Death disappeared one day, there would still be a multitude of believers fighting for it.
The difference between the Waitara Path and James was indeed vast.
Turning slowly, James looked at the four deities. "You're now pillars of the Haleth Realm. I need your opinions on some matters."
James waved his hand and spread
out a few scrolls that described the
fates of Yianni, Marius, Hankin, Mordecar, Dillon, Lilibeth, and
Zbynek. As the scrolls circled them, James explained, "In the Forty-Ninth Heaven, these are the remaining powerhouses. I need everyone's opinions on appointing new deities."
