"Basil..." Marcia's and Alyssa's eyes welled up with tears. At that moment, they were inconsolable and
heartbroken, for they knew that Rocky would be gone forever.
"Hey, come on. Don't fret. I wish that after all this chaos and mayhem, the human race and the spiritual
race will learn how to coexist peacefully and create a more powerful world together," Rocky said.
"We will try our very best to fulfill your wish, Basil. We promise you," Marcia faithfully promised.
"Thank you so much. This is it. I'd better get going now." Rocky smiled with ease. Soon after, he
glanced at the two women and then walked to Ice Queen's side, taking her up in his arms.
At that moment, the survivors, along with Isis, Sabina, and Bryant, rushed over to him, but it was
already too late. All they were able to do was to watch him soar into the sky with Ice Queen beside him.
Both parties were so relieved at that moment, knowing that they could live on with their lives. But of
course, nothing was for free, and they had paid a heavy price for their freedom.
Without a doubt, that was a moment that would forever be cherished and embedded in their hearts!
Meanwhile, Rocky set aside all the distractions and focused himself on merging with the Divine
Spiritual Source. Not long after, the Divine Spiritual Source engulfed both him and Ice Queen like
exploding fireworks.
In the blink of an eye, the entire sky was illuminated by the light of the Divine Spiritual Source, shining
soft light on the ground.
"No... I don't want to vanish from this world like this. I want to be the unique king of this world..." Wraith
King Sebastian shouted resentfully as he disintegrated in Rocky's body.
Simultaneously, Divine King Belial's soul also flew out of Rocky's body as he was eager to meet Ice
Queen for one last time. At that moment, the two of them wrapped their arms around each other in the
sky, vanishing together.
Rocky smiled at the sight of this. Patiently, he waited for his soul to slowly disappear from the body that
didn't even belong to him.
At the same time, his flesh gradually became weak due to losing all of his remaining strength, which
slowly turned him into an old man with grey hair.
But, at the moment, a loud sound echoed, catching his attention. Instantly, everything went pitch black
around him. It was not long before a light shadow appeared in front of him.
"Whoa, you are..." Dazed at first, Rocky soon recognized who was in front of him. It was no other than
the real Basil who had fallen asleep inside his body the entire time.
At that moment, he clearly saw how the real Basil was thin and fragile, just in the same condition when
he was initially possessed. But looking deep in his eyes, he found there was an obvious sign of
determination, suggesting that he would not admit defeat.
"Oh, I almost forgot about you. If you can still survive, then you can turn into me. Please, take good
care of them for me. I know that this should be your life. But because of me, you have been put to
sleep for so long. Quite frankly, I really feel a little sorry for you," Rocky said with a little smirk on his
face.
During that time, Basil slowly approached Rocky and then reached out his hand to touch him. Rocky
was only able to feel his soul gradually fading away. But somehow, he felt that despite the soul fading
away, it was actually becoming clearer, while Basil's figure continued to blur.
"You..." Meanwhile, Rocky seemed to have realized something, so he could not help but immediately
ask in confusion, "Why did you do that? Take my place. You should be the one to survive. After all, I
don't belong to this world anymore."
However, Basil did not respond. He just stared at Rocky without uttering a word until his figure
completely vanished. In fact, Rocky didn't even have the time to say his words before he suddenly lost
consciousness.
Soon enough, a blinding ray of golden light emerged above the Palace City, but then it disappeared
instantly together with the Divine Spiritual Source.
After some time, Rocky opened his eyes. To his surprise, he found himself in the ruins on the edge of
the Imperial City.
"What happened? How did I turn out like this?" His confused eyes narrowed. He stood up and looked
at himself. But what he saw shocked him to his very core. He had turned into a grey-haired old man, an
ordinary person without any visible signs of extraordinary strength.
Generally, he was not that disappointed with what he found out. All he knew at that time was that he
was lucky enough to have survived. In fact, he would have already disappeared from this world if it
weren't for the real Basil who had fused his soul with him. Otherwise, it would have been the real Basil
who might have survived and lived on.
Moreover, he was also aware that he could no longer face Marcia and the others from now on. Despite
thinking of them fondly, he knew that he could not mess up other people's lives anymore. In addition,
he thought that his departure might not be such a bad thing after all.
At that moment, he looked left and right and then picked up a broken and dusty cloak near his feet.
Upon picking it up, he covered his head with it and passed through the ruins, disappearing in the strong
rattling wind.
Back when Rocky defeated Alston, the spiritual race clans ruled by Alston were also freed. Luckily, the
Phoenix Master Clan, the Dragon Master Clan, and the Wood Clan all possessed their own foundation.
Therefore, they returned to their original territory and used their time wisely to recover their strength.
On the other hand, the Ghost Master Clan and the Giants Clan got weaker than before due to the
heavy damages and casualties that they had sustained. As for the small and medium-sized spiritual
race clans, almost all of them went homeless, without any leaders. As a result, they were affiliated to
the Dragon Master Clan and the other higher clans.
Meanwhile, the human empires had quite similarities in the situation with the rest of the spiritual race
clans—heavy losses coupled with the difficulty of regaining their strength. At that time, all they could do
was to submit to the rule of the Holy Dragon Empire, the Magic Phoenix Empire, or the Timber Deity
Empire.
But as soon as Alston died, the Holy Dragon Empire rose and became powerful again due to the return
of the three army groups led by Marcia and Bryant. On the other hand, Rocky's son, Nigel, had also
smoothly ascended the throne and become the new and youngest emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire.
As for the Magic Phoenix Empire, Erica naturally took over the throne since its emperor had been
abdicated. With the help of the Holy Dragon Empire, the Magic Phoenix Empire started to rise and
develop.
Meanwhile, in the Timber Deity Empire, there was an intense fight for the throne since the former
emperor died. In the end, Alyssa was the one who took over the throne and became the only female
ruler in the history of the Timber Deity Empire, exceeding everyone's expectation.
A few months later, the Holy Dragon Empire, the Magic Phoenix Empire, and the Timber Deity Empire
issued a joint statement after discussion. According to them, they constituted the alliance of united
empires in the Wild Spirit Land. Moreover, they had also proposed a plan for the empires that had
joined the united empires before to rebuild their homelands. As soon as the plan was launched, it
luckily received the support of all the humans and the empires almost instantly.
Not long after, many countries began to rebuild their homelands with the support of the three empires.
But among the three empires, the Holy Dragon Empire was the one that offered the most help. Among
all the teams it sent to help rebuild the other empires, a team full of strong and powerful women was
particularly eye-catching. As a matter of fact, such a unique team surprised and excited everyone in the
Wild Spirit Land.
