Divine King Belial's reason for helping the spiritual race crush the Star Divine Race was quite very
simple—he wanted everything to be back on track. He had always believed that the Star Divine Race
should have never taken the Divine Spiritual Source from the Wild Spirit Land in the first place. On the
other hand, the Star Divine Race did this to protect their world, but as a result, this act had changed the
dynamic of the two worlds. With that being said, Divine King Belial only wanted the two worlds to return
to how they were before.
"Divine King Belial has adopted an extreme approach to bring the two worlds back to their original
trajectory." At that moment, Rocky read through all Divine King Belial's memories in the Oracle Jade
and then returned to reality. He shook his head in disbelief after learning that Divine King Belial was the
one responsible for leading the resistance of the spiritual race against the Star Divine Race and even
starting the war of the myriad spiritual race beings.
"Divine King Belial firmly believes that the Star Divine Race should have been destroyed when their
world experienced an imbalance. That should've already been the end of the Star Divine Race. If that
happened, then the creatures of the Wild Spirit Land wouldn't have suffered so much misfortune and
conflict," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast muttered with a heavy sigh.
"But things don't add up. After I read all the king's memories in the Oracle Jade, I realized that I don't
know much about him. However, I find it peculiar that the things he did do not match his style at all. I
am interested to know what kind of person he really is," Rocky said in a curious tone.
"I remember the days when he used to be just a simple-minded man who was always in the pursuit of
power. But as soon as he reached the peak, he slowly began to realize that he was alone and lonely.
After that, he plunged into evil ways as he tried to become stronger. But in the end, he realized that he
could never change the fate of his own world regardless of how powerful he was. That's the reason
why he wanted to protect the Wild Spirit Land from making the same mistakes as his world. He had
expected great things from the spiritual race. In fact, he had done tons of great deeds for the spiritual
race, but unfortunately, not all could be found in the Oracle Jade. Back then, the ancient demonic
beasts were widespread in the world, making the lives of countless spiritual race beings miserable.
Divine King Belial could not take this kind of oppression, so he made a stand. Soon after, he unleashed
his power and defeated all the ancient demonic beasts single-handedly. He even sealed Glutton, the
most powerful one among them. As a matter of fact, Glutton and Divine King Belial used to be friends.
Unfortunately, it seemed that he did not have any other choice but to do it so he could protect the entire
spiritual race..." the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast expounded.
"No wonder Glutton is full of resentment. If only Divine King Belial can see how the spiritual race is
nowadays, I bet that he would really be disappointed. He will see how they are making the same
mistake that the Star Divine Race did," Rocky said seriously as he furrowed his brows.
"Well, that's exactly why he allowed me to stay in the world as a Soul-shadow Beast. He gave me a
role. When the time comes, I need to stop the spiritual race from destroying itself," the Dragon-shaped
Soul Beast remarked.
"I want to know how the leaders of the spiritual race knew about the existence of the Divine Land and
why they came here. Plus, I found out that according to the Oracle Jade's records, the spiritual race
should not even know anything about the Divine Land in the first place. Are you still hiding anything
from me?" Suspicious of the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast's motive, Rocky could not help but ask.
"Truth be told, the Star Divine Race wasn't entirely wiped out at that time. No one knew about the lone
descendant who survived the supposed annihilation." After thinking about it for a while, the Dragon-
shaped Soul Beast finally revealed more information regarding the matter.
"Are you sure about that?" Rocky said in surprise. Hearing this revelation was something that he had
never expected.
"I'm very certain. At that time, this descendant was still an infant. Out of mercy, Divine King Belial saved
this child. Afterwards, the child was left in to be cared for by humans," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast
responded.
"Not long after, this descendant mated with a human who then gave birth to a daughter. It was believed
that this girl continued the bloodline of the Star Divine Race. As time went by, this girl became the first
Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire..." the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast uncovered.
"So, you mean to say that the first Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire is a descendant of the Star Divine
Race? Did I get it right?" Rocky clarified. At that moment, he was stunned to hear how the puzzle
pieces about the Star Divine Race fitted together. On the other hand, this could be the perfect
explanation of why the Witches of the Holy Dragon Empire possessed the innate great power. As it
turned out, this was all because of the said bloodline.
"Now, this could explain how the leaders of the spiritual race knew about the existence of the Divine
Land. Or it could also be that they had discovered some of the records that the Witch had left behind.
Relying on her innate prophecy, she managed to come here and found out who she really was. After
learning her identity, she became the first Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire," the Dragon-shaped Soul
Beast explained.
Overwhelmed by a great deal of facts, Rocky could not help but fall into complete silence. He never
expected that this matter would be so complicated as compared to what he had thought. If it weren't for
this, many things would not have needed to happen. At that time, the leaders of the spiritual race had
brought back the forbidden items from the Divine Land, causing the extermination of the Butterfly
Divine Clan. Not long after, the Heavenly Demon Clan acquired these forbidden items and soon dreamt
of ruling over the Wild Spirit Land. Because of this, the Wild Spirit Land had been reduced to what it
was now. However, there was one thing that Rocky could not quite comprehend. He could not figure
out how the Heavenly Demon Clan was able to obtain the forbidden items that should have been
sealed at that time. Moreover, the Wild Spirit Land would not have become what it was if this did not
happen.
"So, there it is, the whole truth. Now that there are no secrets between us, I think we can start to get
the other half of the Divine Spiritual Source." The Dragon-shaped Soul Beast paused for a moment and
then continued, "Here's a tip: if you want to gather the other half of the Divine Spiritual Source, you'll
have to let the nine legendary guardian beasts gather together all at the same time."
"As of the moment, only eight of the nine legendary guardian beasts have emerged. The Thunder
Master Clan's legendary guardian beast hasn't appeared yet. Even the blood essence of their
legendary guardian beast was extracted from its bloodstains that had dried and preserved for over a
thousand years..." Rocky said in a gloomy voice. Extracting the blood essence of the Thunder Master
Clan's legendary guardian beast was easy. But the problem was that they did not have any clues as to
where the beast was.
"Don't worry. Holy Lord will help you," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast said in anticipation.
"Holy Lord? Do you know where he is right now?" Rocky asked anxiously. Holy Lord was always very
mysterious that Rocky had just seen him twice in his entire life.
"Are you looking for me?" All of a sudden, he heard Holy Lord's voice as if he was just next to him.
"What the hell?! How did you get here?" Hearing his voice, Rocky immediately turned his head and
saw Holy Lord descending from the sky with golden light shining all over his body.
"I see. It seems that you've seen the memories in the Oracle Jade. Now, do you understand what had
happened?" At that time, Holy Lord saw the red Oracle Jade still in Rocky's hand. Instantly, he
understood what was going on.
As a reply, Rocky nodded his head without saying a word.
"Back then, in order to get everything back to the way they were, Divine King Belial did not hesitate to
bear all the responsibilities and curses to banish the Star Divine Race from the world. He was so
committed to his goal that he was even willing to turn himself into dust. But now, the hope he had left is
gone. If you want to save this world, you'll have to get everything back on track again," Holy Lord
emphasized.
