Rocky was also aware of how heavy the mission was for him to carry. But somehow, he also knew that everything would be worth for the people he loved and cherished. After all, he would vanish from this world sooner or later.
"Well, I should be on my way now. I hope to see you again!" Holy Lord turned around and disappeared swiftly after finishing his words.
Meanwhile, just after Holy Lord left, Rocky looked around the twelve statues that surrounded him. At that moment, he felt a strange faint aura hidden deep inside the twelve statues.
"Do you feel that? These statues were sealed with some of the sacred things that were originally possessed by the twelve deities. To be exact, these were the forbidden items that I was telling you about. Moreover, it is believed that these items are more powerful than those that are stored in the Heavenly God Temple," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast explained briefly.
"So, does that mean that those leaders of the spiritual race clans took away several forbidden items, including the Evil-fight Divine Bead? But how did they know that there were forbidden items sealed here in the first place? Something is not adding up if you'd ask me." Rocky couldn't help but suspect that something was wrong about what had happened.
However, it was also impossible for the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast to know the truth regarding the matter.
"From this moment forth, you will stay secluded in the Divine Land and cultivate in peace, away from distractions. Needless to say, I will also give you all the advice and support I can give, so that you can have all the guidance you need to improve your strength at the King Realm as soon as possible," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast instructed Rocky.
Upon hearing the beast's orders, Rocky gave a slight nod.
Earlier, Rocky had released the power of the Divine Spiritual Source in his battle with the Heavenly Demon Clan, it caused severe damage to the clan. Later, Alston merged the Ghost Master Clan and the Giants Clan and reestablished a new clan with the remaining forces of the Heavenly Demon Clan—the Glory Clan. Moreover, he made himself the Spiritual King and made the Palace City of the Holy Dragon Empire his base camp. As soon as he assumed office, he renamed the original Lofty Dragon Hall as the Spiritual King Hall.
It was quite obvious to the eyes of the people that Alston's power was growing more visible and dominant with each passing day.
Not long after, Alston followed Townsend's example and continued to suppress and unite other spiritual race clans. A few months later, he was able to
the upper hand in the battle, causing very heavy casualties on both sides.
While this happened, Alston sent another one thousand reinforcements to break the tie. Although the Wood Clan was also supported by Alyssa's one hundred thousand forces from the Timber Deity Empire, the reinforcements were still a drop in the bucket. The spiritual race army was so powerful that the human army could not be evenly matched with it.
After a month, the Wood Clan finally lost the war. Half of its members died on the battlefield, and some of them were brutally murdered even after they chose to surrender. Some of them managed to narrowly escape and avoided their whole clan's extinction.
Losing the support of the Wood Clan, the Timber Deity Empire was now a lonely boat in the lake. In order to protect the empire, Emperor Woods had made a difficult decision—to submit to Alston's Glory Clan.
However, as soon as Alyssa heard that the empire had submitted, she disappeared out of the blue.
On the other hand, the Phoenix Master Clan was now the only big trouble that Alston and his clan would have to face after the fall of the Wood Clan. But Alston's troops also suffered a lot of damage in the battle with the Wood Clan. With that being said, Alston had planned to keep dealing with the Phoenix Master Clan after defeating the Wood Clan. However, his plan was put into a hold under the persuasion of Dean.
Moreover, the entire Wild Spirit Land was in great chaos, and the people suffered tremendous loss and trauma just because of Alston's hunger for power.
A few months after the war, the Glory Army had finally recuperated their vital energy. As a result, they launched quick attacks against the Phoenix Master Clan.
