The Almighty Dragon General

For most creatures, positions and cultivation levels that seemed like distant dreams were easily within Truett’s grasp. Bathed in the radiant glory of his parents and the illustrious reputation of Skynet, he had never faced genuine hardships or the character-forming trials that others endured.
Truett excelled in qualifications, wisdom, understanding, and righteousness beyond ordinary beings. However, he lacked the tempering fire of suffering and a determination forged through relentless hard work and perseverance. Even if it were born from revenge and hatred, it could transform him, allowing him to rise from the ashes, become decisive in his actions, and evolve into a formidable powerhouse.
The trial was James’ gift to Truett after returning from Zymurgy. James had meticulously orchestrated the destruction of all of Truett’s support and planned the deaths of the Celestial Sages whom Truett admired the most. As the ruler of the Haleth Realm, James could easily restore everything that had been destroyed. However, if Truett had continued to stay within a safe environment and his comfort zone, he would never have achieved a true transformation. The softness of indecision could not bring about the change Truett needed to grow.
Truett had to start relying on himself to be truly reborn. He had to endure soul-crushing disasters and bear heart-wrenching pain, otherwise, even if everything were handed to him, he could not protect it.
Under James’s invisible gaze, Truett slowly raised his head.
“Please take the war kings away for now, Emperor Caden. I need some time to calm down.”
