If Rocky was just on the fiftieth floor, then this might not really be such a surprising feat. However, he
was doing the task on the sixtieth floor. In fact, this was already the farthest that a middle-grade
Spiritual Emperor could normally reach. Yet, Rocky was not showing any sign of slowing down. He
made it this fast without struggling on the upper floors.
Meanwhile, the news that Rocky had already entered the sixtieth floor quickly reached the ears of the
people outside the Holy Heaven Palace, instantly making a huge commotion.
"What? He is on the sixtieth floor? I thought that was already the limit for most middle-grade Spiritual
Emperors! He isn't even a middle-grade Spiritual Emperor! How can this be?"
"I bet this guy is about to do something incredible again!"
"His abilities and talents are really out of this world! There's no way that he's just a low-grade Spiritual
Emperor!"
At this time, all kinds of excited comments and remarks could be heard from the crowd.
Colton could just smile while lightly shaking his head. Even he was very impressed at Rocky's
marvelous performance. Moreover, since the young man was disguised as s Spiritual Emperor of the Di
Clan, it was already to be expected that he would attract others' attention. However, Colton wasn't
worried that Rocky's identity might get exposed. After all, he had complete trust in the young man and
that he knew exactly when to stop.
Just as Colton expected, Rocky's plan was actually to leave the Spiritual Divine Land after he caught
up with Gloria.
"Hey! Are you supposed to reach this far?" Gloria was surprised to see that Rocky had suddenly
appeared and had already caught up to her. Logically speaking, he should not be performing this good
if he wanted to keep a low profile.
"Listen to me first. I was attacked by Guillermo earlier," Rocky informed her immediately.
"What? Here on the test? Are you all right? What happened?" Gloria instantly asked. The expression
on her face quickly changed from confusion to worry.
"Well, do you think that I can appear right before your eyes if he managed to do something to me?"
Rocky retorted with a confident smile.
"Then, it seems that Guillermo was the one who got in trouble." Hearing Rocky's subtle joke, she could
not help but feel relieved.
"Yeah. He probably won't be able to see the outside world again."
"Wait. What do you mean? Did you kill him?" Gloria's eyes instantly narrowed, worried that someone
might discover what he did.
"Of course not. In fact, I didn't need to do anything to him."
"Then, what on earth happened? Don't make me keep guessing!" Gloria was so intrigued that she did
not want Rocky to spare any detail.
Eventually, Rocky told her everything.
"I see. Israel has already made his move. It's actually beneficial for us. With his help, we can get rid of
the other Godly Geniuses much sooner. It will save us a lot of trouble for later," Gloria remarked after
learning how Israel cooperated with Rocky in order to eliminate the other Godly Geniuses.
"You should not be rejoicing yet. After all, Israel plans to take down every Godly Genius, including you.
Your identity has already been exposed, so I want you to leave with me right now. That is actually the
reason why I had to catch up with you," Rocky explained.
"I see..." Gloria knew how dangerous Israel was, but she was still a little hesitant to forfeit the test.
"What are you still hesitating for? I can guarantee that you will enter the next round. So, you don't have
to go further and take the risks," Rocky urged with a serious expression.
"All right, all right!"
However, just as the two of them were about to activate the teleportation rune and leave, Rocky
suddenly felt that a very strong holy power was uncontrollably surging out of his body. Then, in the blink
of an eye, a strange light door emerged before both of them.
The very next moment, Rocky's entire body was suddenly pulled towards the door by some kind of
mysterious power. Then, under the watchful eyes of Gloria, as well as the other middle-grade Spiritual
Emperors on the floor, his body rushed into the light door and vanished without a trace.
Everything happened so fast that Gloria's delicate face instantly turned pale. She wanted to grab onto
Rocky but it was already too late. All she could do was staring as Rocky was immediately sucked into
the light door.
After a moment, the light door just disappeared as if it never existed.
Even Rocky did not expect that something like this would suddenly happen. He was caught off guard,
and he felt that his body was strongly pulled over by a great force.
Right after passing through the light door, the images he saw became a blur as if time and space were
distorting.
Not long after, he felt that a dazzling light was coming in front of him, and his body was continuously
rushing towards its source. When he finally came to his senses, he found that he was actually in a very
familiar scene—surrounded by peach blossoms in a deep valley.
"Why would I be here?" When Rocky finally realized where he was, he was dumbfounded because he
was in the place where the goddess had been summoning him.
At this time, a beautiful figure suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of him. However,
since she was enveloped by dazzling light, Rocky was not able to see her face well.
"Madam, are you the one who summoned me?" Although he could not clearly see, Rocky instantly
knew that the figure in front of him was the one who had chosen him from the start.
"No, I did not. In fact, the holy power of the Shura Race within your body was what opened up a space
passageway for some reason. Tell me, are you perhaps in the Holy Heaven Palace just now?" the
goddess asked bluntly.
"Yes, I am."
"I see. Then, that must be it. The Holy Heaven Palace was once a part of the Holy-Evil World. Although
it was later isolated, one can still access the Holy-Evil World from it," the goddess explained after
knowing the reason why Rocky suddenly entered the space of the gods.
"A part of the Holy-Evil World?" It was actually Rocky's first time hearing the existence of the Holy-Evil
World. He had always thought that there was a place where the gods resided, and this must be it.
However, he did not expect that it had such a name.
"Yes. It is a world or dimension where deities and devils can co-exist. To be more accurate, the Holy-
Evil World exists in parallel with your world—the outside world. Thus, the balance is maintained."
"Oh, now I get it. No wonder the gods favor the Shura Race so much. Without them, it will greatly affect
the entire continent, as well as the Holy-Evil World!" With the knowledge bestowed to him as the
successor of the Holy Lord before, Rocky immediately concluded how these things worked.
"You are right. Currently, the Holy-Evil World is existing only in name. After all, there are just only a few
remaining deities and devils. Nonetheless, as long as we try our best to maintain the balance within the
two worlds, and then gradually select the elites that could take over the position as gods, we will be
able to keep the balance from being disrupted."
"What do you mean when you said that the Holy-Evil World is existing only in name? Is it related to the
matter before when the Shura Race's king killed the gods?" Rocky tried to guess.
"No. That is just a minor issue. The main reason is because of those self-righteous deities and devils,
who pursued too much power by using all kinds of methods. They fiddled with the races of the
continent and later on brought disgrace upon themselves. After that, an internal war broke out in our
world, reducing our number significantly," the goddess revealed.
"I see. It seems that it is more complicated than I thought. But why is this the first time that I am hearing
about it?" Rocky was a little bit confused. Knowing that this was such a huge and significant matter,
she should have told him about this before.
"There is a right time for everything. Back then, you did not have to know about it. But now that the holy
power of the Shura Race in your body can already open the passageway connecting your world and
our world, it just implies that you are the chosen one according to the prophecy of the Holy-Evil World."
The goddess suddenly blurted out a piece of crucial information.
"Wait... What is this prophecy?" Rocky was stunned after hearing so many revelations at once.
"Before the internal war even started, there was a deity who predicted the destruction of the Holy-Evil
World. Moreover, he said that the only person that could save our world would be a savior that would
come from another world. I actually did not believe any of that before—until I found you. You have
extraordinary talent that I have never seen from anyone else." As she said these words, it was pretty
obvious that the goddess' tone was becoming more excited.
"That is the reason why you chose me to be a Godly Genius? I thought it was just a coincidence... But
how can this prophecy come to fruition? What can I do to save the Holy-Evil World when I am just a
mere mortal?" Of course, Rocky always analyzed things rationally. Hence, he found it quite impossible
for someone like him to be able to solve a crisis that even the gods could not.
