CHAPTER 2040: CHAPTER 2040: GODDESS REINCARNATED?

Having made his decision, Wyatt Barnes was eager to sprout wings and leave the Fire Worship Sect, to go and enhance his ’innate divine root’!

As long as his divine root transformed into a ’purple root’, he could return in glory, shaking the entire Fire Worship Sect, even the entire Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land!

Becoming a peerless genius with a ’purple root’ as rare as phoenix feathers in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land!

By then, as long as he threatened that if the Fire Worship Sect dared to harm Keer and her mother, he would ensure their sect would be erased from the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land!

He believed that, intimidated by his ’potential’, the Fire Worship Sect would not dare to touch Keer and her mother as long as they could not eliminate him!

"Thank you for the reminder."

Coming back to his senses, Wyatt Barnes expressed his gratitude to Paisley Flores, and inside, the last bit of hatred he held towards her vanished.

No matter what, this woman in front of him was Keer’s biological sister, Keer’s family.

If he continued to have conflicts with her, it would only sadden Keer.

Thus, Wyatt Barnes decided to let go of the past grievances against Paisley Flores, and he was now sure that Paisley had never intended to harm Keer.

"You don’t need to thank me."

Paisley Flores shook her head and then said seriously, "Actually, you and I have the same starting point, which is the hope that Luna and her mother stay safe... Don’t forget, Luna is my twin sister! She’s the only sister I, Paisley Flores, have!"

"Even if it costs me my life, I, Paisley Flores, will not let any harm come to Luna!"

With these words, Paisley’s tone was firm and resolute.

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

From Paisley’s tone, he could tell that her words were genuine and heartfelt.

After a moment of silence, Wyatt looked at Paisley and asked, "There’s something I’ve always found strange... Back then, both you and Keer were chosen, so why was it only Keer selected to become the Saintess of the Fire Worship Sect? Why didn’t they choose you as the Saintess?"

"Is it true, as the rumors say, that Keer’s innate divine root is a ’purple root’?"

Wyatt’s words revealed the questions bothering him.

"Luna’s innate divine root is indeed a ’purple root’... but, that’s not the main reason she was chosen to be the Saintess of the Fire Worship Sect!"

Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, Paisley spoke with a grave expression.

"Not the main reason?"

Wyatt was taken aback.

Seeing Paisley’s expression turn solemn, his own face followed suit, turning serious, "Then what is the main reason?"

"The main reason, I only heard it by chance from my mentor... it seems that Luna is considered to be the ’reincarnation of a divine maiden’!"

As she said this, Paisley’s face grew even more somber.

The reincarnation of a divine maiden?!

Hearing Paisley’s words, Wyatt was stunned.

In the past, he might have dismissed such claims as absurd and groundless.

But now, he too had experienced ’reincarnation’, though it was as a reincarnated Weapon King from Earth, not the reincarnation of a divine maiden or god!

So, upon hearing Paisley’s words, his first thought wasn’t disbelief but rather shock.

"Keer is the reincarnation of a divine maiden? This..."

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes didn’t know what to say.

However, he quickly looked at Paisley again and asked, "Are you sure you didn’t mishear... your mentor, that Protector of the Fire Worship Sect, said Keer is the ’reincarnation of a divine maiden’?"

"That’s what my mentor said... but, the specifics of the situation, probably only the Sect Leader knows."

Paisley added.

"Whether Keer is the ’reincarnation of a divine maiden’ or not, she is my woman!"

A glint of resolve flashed in Wyatt’s eyes as he stated firmly, "As my woman, I will protect her... If the Fire Worship Sect dares to harm her in any way, I will obliterate the sect and ensure it becomes nothing more than history in the Martial Dao Sacred Land!"

After saying this, Wyatt looked at Paisley and continued, "I only have fifteen minutes to see you... now that time is almost up, it’s time I leave. If the elders from the Enforcement Hall come and ask what I wanted, you’ll have to make up a story to deal with them."

"I don’t need to respond!"

However, upon hearing Wyatt’s words, Paisley was completely unbothered.

Who was she?

Besides being the seventh-ranked true disciple on the True Inheritance List, and one of the most outstanding female disciples of the younger generation in the Fire Worship Sect, as well as one of the seven ’geniuses’ of the sect...

She was also the direct disciple of one of the Three Great Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect, ’Protector Bo’!

The Elder Silver Flame of the Enforcement Hall’s Prisoner Surveillance Hall has no right to make her explain anything!

Hearing Paisley’s ’powerful’ words, Wyatt was taken aback, then came to his senses and gave a wry smile, "I almost forgot, your mentor is one of the Three Great Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect, ’Protector Bo’... Take care of yourself, it’s time for me to go."

With those words, Wyatt turned and left.

Thud! Thud!

After knocking on the stone gate twice, the stone gate was opened by the Elder Silver Flame of the Prisoner Surveillance Hall, ’Shmuel Morgan,’ who was guarding outside.

After Wyatt Barnes went out, Shmuel Morgan closed the stone gate again and reactivated the ’formations’ that covered this prison stone chamber.

"Let’s go!"

Once everything was completed, Shmuel Morgan beckoned to Wyatt Barnes, leading him away from the Prisoner Surveillance Hall.

After leaving the Prisoner Surveillance Hall, Wyatt Barnes rejoined Dash Willow, who was waiting outside.

Dash Willow, after greeting the three Elder Silver Flames from the Prisoner Surveillance Hall, including ’Shmuel Morgan,’ also left the Prisoner Surveillance Hall with Wyatt Barnes, heading in the direction of the Enforcement Hall’s ’main hall.’

"Thank you, Elder Dash Willow."

On the way, Wyatt Barnes did not forget to thank Dash Willow.

"If you want to thank someone, thank Yakira... However, I hope you don’t forget the ’promise’ you made earlier!"

Dash Willow first spoke lightly, but as he continued, his tone turned somewhat serious.

"Rest assured, Elder Dash Willow, I, Wyatt Barnes, keep my promises and will absolutely not go back on my word!"

Wyatt Barnes declared confidently.

He naturally knew what ’promise’ Dash Willow was referring to.

It was just a reminder for him to sever ties with Reuben Willow in front of others, so as not to implicate Reuben Willow, or even the ’Willow Family’ behind him, due to his own matters.

He had previously agreed to this with Dash Willow and naturally would not renege on it.

Moreover, doing so was also being responsible towards Reuben Willow.

Otherwise, if something happened to Reuben Willow or his family because of him, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life!

To ’prevent trouble before it happens,’ he decided to publicly break ties with Reuben Willow after convincing him, even leading to a fallout!

As long as the news of him breaking ties with Reuben Willow spread throughout the Holy Land of the Fire Worship Sect, those targeting him naturally wouldn’t target Reuben Willow anymore because of him.

Back at the ’Prisoner Surveillance Hall,’ after Wyatt Barnes left, Shmuel Morgan returned to the hall.

He reopened the prison stone chamber where ’Paisley Flores’ was held and entered it.

As soon as he walked in, a radiant smile appeared on Shmuel Morgan’s face as he looked at Paisley Flores and asked, "Miss Flores, are you comfortable staying here recently?"

"Comfortable?"

Hearing Shmuel Morgan’s words, Paisley Flores laughed coldly, "Why don’t we switch places, and you try staying here to see if it’s comfortable?"

Hearing this, Shmuel Morgan couldn’t help but smile awkwardly.

"Miss Flores!"

Immediately after, as if recalling something, Shmuel Morgan asked with a serious expression, "May I ask... what exactly is your relationship with Wyatt Barnes, who came to see you just now? He went to such lengths to get in here just to meet you."

"Moreover, the most important thing is... he is still a ’new disciple’ of our Fire Worship Sect, and he only joined after you, Sister Paisley, were brought here to the Prisoner Surveillance Hall."

Shmuel Morgan directly asked about the relationship between Wyatt Barnes and Paisley Flores.

Because he always felt that the two of them must know each other, otherwise Wyatt Barnes wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble to get in, just to see Paisley Flores.

"What relationship I have with him is none of your business!"

Confronted with Shmuel Morgan’s inquiry, Paisley Flores coldly laughed again, showing no intention of answering him.

Seeing Paisley Flores’s rudeness, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Shmuel Morgan’s eyes, but he dared not show it. He continued to force a smile and said, "Miss Flores, I’m just asking casually, without any other meaning..."

"Now it seems, he must be your friend, Miss Flores."

"No wonder he humiliated ’Emma Wenston’ last time; it turned out it was because Emma Wenston reported your matter, Miss Flores... We were bewildered before, confused about why he would humiliate Emma Wenston, a new disciple, without reason and not someone else."

With that, Shmuel Morgan couldn’t help but sigh.

When Wyatt Barnes said he wanted to meet Paisley Flores, both Shmuel Morgan and the other two Elder Silver Flames of the Prisoner Surveillance Hall immediately recalled the recent humiliation ’Emma Wenston’ had suffered from Wyatt Barnes.

If previously they thought Wyatt Barnes was ’needlessly’ humiliating Emma Wenston,

now they no longer thought so.

All because Wyatt Barnes knew Paisley Flores and was quite familiar with her; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to the Enforcement Hall to meet her at such great expense.

"Moreover, although the stipend we issue to the True Inheritor disciples on duty at our Enforcement Hall is quite high, it is merely a drop in the bucket for a True Inheritor disciple like him with ’one million contribution points’..."

Shmuel Morgan continued, "Now it seems, his purpose in performing duties at our Enforcement Hall was just to meet you, Miss Flores!"

"One million contribution points?"

Hearing Shmuel Morgan’s words, Paisley Flores couldn’t help but be stunned, "What one million contribution points? Did you say he has one million contribution points?"

It had to be said, Paisley Flores was shocked.

Wyatt Barnes, with one million contribution points?

She had to realize, even though she had been with the Fire Worship Sect for many years, she had only accumulated over two hundred thousand contribution points!

How long has Wyatt Barnes been at the Fire Worship Sect to have one million contribution points?
