The peak of the Emperor Realm was supposed to be the highest level that a human could possibly
attain. However, Rocky reached it at such a young age, which would be a huge breakthrough for the
entire human race. But at the same time, there was an inevitable downside to it.
Rocky's current identity must stay a secret. Many people beginning to harbor even more doubts would
not be a good thing.
Fortunately, the incident happened in the Holy Heaven Palace. Hence, so no one else would know for
now.
Meanwhile, Rocky entered a light column again that teleported him to another strange area.
However, he instantly realized that this closed space was different from the previous ones. At first
glance, it would seem like a coffin chamber. Although there was no tomb or any decorations at sight,
there was a human-shaped statue at the center, which looked very peculiar. Upon closer inspection, it
appeared to be vivid and lifelike.
"Where am I? What exactly is this eerie place?" After Rocky looked around, his attention was easily
caught by the human-shaped statue.
As he stared intently at it, he found out that the statue was, in fact, a petrified body of a real person.
"Who is this guy? Is he one of the previous chiefs of the Di Clan?" Rocky could just guess while his
brows furrowed.
Then, as he was still inspecting the petrified body, a golden light suddenly shot out from the center of
the statue's eyebrows. The moment the golden light landed on the ground, a figure was formed from it.
"Finally! The man of destiny is here! I have been waiting for thousands of years, but all of it was not in
vain!" the figure declared in glee.
"Sir, may I know who you are?" Rocky immediately asked, curious about the figure's statement.
"I am Deacon, the master of the Holy Heaven Palace, and one of the former rulers of the Holy-Evil
World."
"Deacon? But aren't you supposed to be dead already?" Rocky heard about him through Mikayla
before, but he heard that Deacon no longer lived.
"That is right. I already died long ago. What you are seeing right now is just a portion of my power that I
sealed here in order to welcome the moment that the heavenly destined one arrives," Deacon briefly
explained.
"I see. So, you are waiting for me… Everything works out then, because I am actually looking for you
too. I want to know some details about your prediction. I need to know how I can save the Holy-Evil
World!" Rocky said straightforwardly.
"Yes. I once predicted that the Holy-Evil World would encounter a catastrophe that would put all lives in
grave danger. Deities would perish, and the devils would run amok. Unfortunately, this prophecy
already came true. In the end, the Holy-Evil World suffered greatly after such a fierce battle. However,
after the huge disaster, I, together with the other deities, used all our strength to seal the devils that
caused the abomination. Somehow, the Holy-Evil World had avoided its total destruction. But that is not
where it ended. The remaining devils have never stopped controlling creatures from other worlds and
offering various sacrifices in order to survive. Therefore, the connection between the alien worlds and
the Holy-Evil World went out of balance, and the entire world was almost destroyed again.
Fortunately, a king of the Shura Race entered the Holy Heaven Palace by accident and inherited my
power. He was able to kill the devils with his incredible power to avoid the further decline of the Shura
Continent. Moreover, the control over the continent was transferred back to the deities. However,
because of the influence of the devils, the members of the Shura Race were already demonized.
Hence, in order to save them, Godly Geniuses were selected to inherit the position of the deities. But I
did not expect that even that was fiddled with. Someone used the selection to cause even more
upheaval, making the king fight alone until his death.
After his sacrifice, and with the efforts of the remaining deities, the Shura Race was finally able to
return to the right path. But of course, there are still some things that are difficult to change. Thus, in
order to balance the rules that govern the two worlds, the deities could no longer interfere with the
affairs of the Shura Race. All they could do was maintain the tradition of selecting the Godly Geniuses,
who will be trained as their successors,"
Deacon recounted in detail the reason why the Holy-Evil World was destroyed, as well as the origin for
the selection of the Godly Geniuses.
"I heard that the prophecy also states that once the heavenly destined person appears, something big
will happen. What does that mean? What kind of event is it talking about?" Rocky asked bluntly.
"Honestly, I don't know either. After all, you have just shown up. However, I urge you to make a perfect
plan as soon as possible. You need to reopen the entrance connecting the two worlds and maintain the
strength source of the Holy-Evil World that comes from this continent. More importantly, you have to
unify the three races in the Shura Continent. Because of the on-going war between them, the strength
source is also greatly affected," Deacon elaborated.
"It is actually not that difficult to connect the two worlds again, but I'm afraid it's almost impossible to
unify the three races! The Shura Race had always been too arrogant that they just see both the human
race and spiritual race as inferior to them!" Rocky could not help but shake his head and let out a frown
just imagining this tedious task.
"Well, it is indeed hard right now. But if you become the king of the Shura Race, then it will not be
impossible," Deacon firmly declared.
"I need to become the king of the Shura Race? Does that also mean that I will have to challenge the
entire royal family of the Shura Race before I become one?"
"You are already destined to possess incredible power. Nothing will be too difficult for you to overcome!
This is your fate!"
'I actually don't want to take on this role. If it wasn't for the promise that Mikayla made about sending
me back to my original world once I complete this task, I wouldn't have done it.' Rocky had actually
grown tired of being a savior. After all, it just usually ended in tragedy.
"The entrance from the Holy Heaven Palace to the Holy-Evil World has already been opened. Next,
you have to open the other two entrances. One is located in the territory of the spiritual race, while the
last one is in the domain of the Shura Race. After opening all three of them, the Holy-Evil World will
once again regain the balance in strength that it has lost," Deacon continued to explain Rocky's
mission.
"All right. Leave it to me." Rocky nodded, understanding the next steps he had to take from here.
"By the way, since you already possess a divine body, you should be able to reveal the true state of the
God-killing Sword and the Heavenly Emperor Armor."
"Wait. God-killing Sword? Heavenly Emperor Armor? I don't think I have any of those two." Rocky's
eyes immediately narrowed. He was a bit confused at what Deacon just said.
"Yes. Those two are your belongings since you have inherited the power of the Shura Race's king."
After hearing this, Rocky immediately realized that Deacon was actually referring to the Mystical
Dragon Sword and the Magic Icy Armor. "Oh, I see! So, you are the one who gave him those treasures.
However, I'm afraid that those treasures are not with me right now…"
"That is not a problem. You have already established a strong connection with them since long ago.
With that, you should be able to summon them any time you want!"
"Really? That is possible?" Of course, Rocky was surprised. It never occurred to him that he could
actually summon the two treasures directly even if they were not with him physically.
"Listen carefully. You have to keep in mind that some members of the Shura Race's royal family are
currently longing for the power of the devil. In time, they will definitely use all sorts of methods just to
unseal the restrictions on the devil. When that happens, the two worlds will certainly be engulfed by
another terrifying catastrophe."
"Then, it seems that there is no more time to waste…"
"Before you leave, I will transfer my remaining power into your body. Although you can't fully control the
divine power right now, it shall help you in critical moments!" Upon saying this, Deacon's image
suddenly vanished, and his statue also disintegrated. Then, a ball of light flew out and instantly
penetrated Rocky's body.
Immediately after, Rocky felt a strange and indescribable power that was welling up from within him.
At the same time, before Rocky could understand what was happening to his body, a powerful vortex
suddenly appeared and sucked him in. In the blink of an eye, he also disappeared from where he was
standing.
Not long after, Rocky reappeared on the central teleportation altar of the Holy Heaven Palace. At this
moment, along with the changes on his body, he noticed that his clothes were torn apart, and he was
almost half-naked. It seemed that his mission inside the palace was already completed.
At this point, he had reached the level comparable to a semi-deity, meaning his strength was already at
the Shura Realm. Among all members of the human race, he was now the most powerful one who ever
lived.
