Suddenly, a commanding and resonant voice echoed through the cave, startling James, who was surveying his surroundings. He immediately raised his guard, searching for the voice's owner.
"Since you've already achieved the first half, why not tackle the later half?" asked the voice.
Confronted with the query, James frowned. He refrained from answering and changed the topic. "Are you Emperor Yarden?"
Tm the one asking questions," the assertive voice responded.
James asked calmly, "Does the Daeclon Mahayana and the identity as the Chosen One have to be bound together?"
"Yes," the voice affirmed.
"Then I don't need it," James said with a carefree smile.

The majestic voice scoffed. "You don't need it? Do you realize how many have endured immense suffering because of the Daeclon Mahayana? How many divine beings had fought to become the Chosen One."
James muttered solemnly, "Whether or not I enter the Daeclon Rank doesn't concern me. I only need the strength to defeat Yehria. As for being the Chosen One, I still don't understand the role’s significance."
As these words left his lips, the majestic voice suddenly erupted into laughter. 'The insiders are often puzzled, yet the onlookers see the situation. If I didn't know about your character, I would suspect you of playing coy and that you were withdrawing as a strategy to advance.
"Your role holds a lot of weight. You stand as a unique existence amongst the mortals, bearing all their hopes. Don't you feel a little responsibility

James shrugged and said, "Do I owe them anything? I only care about my wife and brothers."
"But they're still of the same kind as you. What if they wish for you to embrace the path of being the Chosen One?”
James fell into a contemplative silence.
After a while, the voice said, "You've already obtained two powerful forces, yet you refuse to merge them just because of a promise?"
"Show them to me. I’ll appraise them and allow you to fulfill the promise. However, in return, I hope you assume the identity as the Chosen Path and complete the mission given to you.”
James frowned and said, "You haven't answered my question.”
"I am whatever you say I am. Why obsess over identities?" the voice responded.
James stopped insisting, already understanding the answer.
