Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master

Chapter 1843 What Happened In The Ancient Times

"Valeria, it's too dangerous. Just stay here." Since Rocky knew that this task would be far too

dangerous than the previous ones, he didn't want Valeria to take the risk.

"Ha! You're trying to get rid of me again? No way! I will go with you this time, and that's final!" When

Rocky went to the territory of the human race alone, Valeria felt a deep sense of emptiness in her

heart. She clearly knew that it was because she didn't want to be apart from her husband. Hence, even

though Rocky wanted her to stay behind again, she would definitely not agree this time.

Hearing her firm response, Rocky could just shake his head and smile bitterly. It was not his intention,

but it seemed that he accidentally made Valeria really fall in love with him.

"All right. If you really insist on coming, then go with us," Rocky finally agreed, which actually surprised

Valeria.

"Really? You're serious?" Valeria thought that it would take more than that to convince Rocky, so she

did not expect that he would agree to let her come that easily.

"Yes, of course. After all, you are the Godly Genius of the Flower Fief. It means that you are also

qualified to compete to become the successor of the king. I think that it will be unfair of me to remove

that opportunity for you. So, yes, come with me and give it a try." The main reason why Rocky suddenly

changed his mind was that he had once promised Valeria to make the Flower Fief benefit a lot in

exchange for her agreeing to his plans. So, now that a rare opportunity presented itself, he thought that

it might be a way to fulfill his promise to her.

"What? Me, a successor? Don't joke around. I have no intention of taking that role..." Valeria

immediately dismissed the idea, a bit frightened of even thinking about it. After all, being a leader of a

fief was nothing compared to being a leader of the entire Shura Race. She thought that she would

never be capable of taking on such a huge responsibility.

"Ha-ha! Why are you being too serious and gloomy? I was just kidding. Even though we may not

become the successor, it will still be very advantageous for us to pass the challenges in the Ghostly

Demon Land. There is a huge chance that we are going to be promoted to become royal members. If

that happens, it will be beneficial for the Flower Fief. Don't you think?" Rocky elaborated what he was

really thinking.

"We can become royal members?" Valeria was a bit stunned as she repeated what Rocky said.

"Yes, Odin is right. Once you pass the training inside the Ghostly Demon Land and help Princess Layla

become the successor, then you are definitely going to be promoted and become royal members. It

also means that the Ghost Fief and Flower Fief will receive generous benefits!" Gilbert affirmed.

"I see. But I am not really after those things right now. I just want to—" "That's it, sir. Both I and Valeria

will go." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Before Valeria could finish her sentence, Rocky already butted in. He knew that Valeria was kind of

emotional right now, so he tried to redirect the conversation as soon as possible.

"Okay then. I will draw up a list of other warriors that will accompany you and hand it over to Princess

Layla later on. She will make the final call on who will go with her in the Ghostly Demon Land."

Then, Gilbert turned to Valeria and said, "Valeria, you can go back first. I just have something to

discuss with Odin in private."

Without any objection, Valeria just nodded and eventually left.

As soon as Valeria was gone, Gilbert asked Rocky with a serious expression, "Odin, let me be blunt.

Has your friend's army already retreated from the Shura Race?"

"Yes. He has already achieved his goal. Prince Zain has withdrawn his army and the human army was

able to recuperate. It's just what he wanted. By the way, he wanted me to thank you on his behalf,"

Rocky replied very naturally.

"During the meeting, it was revealed to us that this friend of yours is from an alien world. Is that right?"

Gilbert asked, trying to confirm if the information was accurate.

"Yes, he came from an alien world." Rocky surmised that the royal family must have already found out

a lot about his identity as Basil, so he had no reason to hide this fact from Gilbert.

"Then, how did you come to know each other? I am very curious about that." Gilbert continued to

probe, just wanting to clear out these vague details.

"He saved my life before. So, I can say that to some degree, he's like my savior." Rocky made up a

fabricated backstory and continued, "Before I met my master, I stumbled in the border of the human

race and was attacked by humans. I actually almost died, but fortunately, Basil saved my life. In order

for me to survive, he also gave me some treasures and even a method to cultivate my spiritual power.

It was thanks to him that I am still here today."

"I see. Do you know the extent of his strength?" Gilbert asked. It seemed that he was really very

interested in Basil

"I'm afraid I don't know either," Rocky responded, shaking his head.

"Well, your friend has been giving the royal family a lot of headaches. But it was all thanks to him that

Prince Zain failed on invading the human race. Otherwise, the king would have already chosen him as

the successor, and Princess Layla would not even have the chance to compete." Although Gilbert was

also a member of the royal family, it was just natural that he prioritized his own interests. He chose to

support Princess Layla, knowing that her leadership would be the best for the Ghost Fief. After all, if

Zain became the king of the Shura Race, it was most likely that he would declare a dictatorial

leadership, making the nine fiefs mere puppets.

In fact, even before, Rocky had already seen through Gilbert's mind, so he knew that his plan would

turn exactly in the direction that he expected.

However, getting the chance to enter the Ghostly Demon Land was something that he did not expect.

He was still confused as to why the king suddenly made this decision, and he speculated that

something bigger was brewing in their midst.

Before long, Rocky was able to confirm his hunch.

A day later, while Rocky was cultivating beside the lake, a golden light suddenly descended from the

sky and enveloped him. The next moment, he disappeared from the area without a trace.

Then, when he opened his eyes, he found himself in Mikayla's blossom garden. However, she was

nowhere to be found.

"Madam? I know that you summoned me here. What can I do for you?" Rocky asked while looking

around. He was not sure if Mikayla could hear him from where she was.

Then, out of nowhere, Mikayla's sweet voice echoed, "I just received the news about a sudden

announcement from the king. He allowed Godly Geniuses to enter the Ghostly Demon Land?"

"Yes, that is correct. Is this not a secret arrangement of yours?" Rocky asked. He actually assumed that

the deities were behind this because only superior beings could have influenced the king to do such a

drastic change.

"No, of course not!" Mikayla immediately answered.

"Really? So, this was just the king's own decision? He would go so far as to choose the best candidate

to inherit the throne?" Rocky asked, rather surprised at Mikayla's unexpected response.

"I am actually worried about the same thing. I do not see the king doing this on his own. I can only

assume that someone must be behind this..." Mikayla said as hints of anxiety could be heard from her

voice.

"Who is it then?" Of course, Rocky was certain that they were not dealing with an ordinary person.

"I believe you are going to the Ghostly Demon Land, right?" Mikayla asked, her tone suddenly

becoming serious.

"Yes, I am."

"I have another task for you this time, and the result may affect the safety of the Holy-Evil World.

Therefore, I'm afraid that failure is not an option," Mikayla sternly warned.

"Go ahead. I am listening."

"I'm sure you've already heard that the Ghostly Demon Land is no ordinary place. It was where the

ancestors of the Shura Race sealed the ghostly demons, as well as their leader. Phillip's soul was

sealed in the Demon Sealing Palace inside the Ghostly Demon Land. In fact, the ancestors of the

Shura Race only knew that Phillip was the master of the ghostly demons. However, the truth is that he

was actually a famous great demon who existed in the Holy-Evil World. Before he was sealed by the

members of the Shura Race, he first fought the deities, and he was seriously injured in that battle. After

that, he fled to the Shura Continent, together with his cohorts, creating chaos throughout the continent

and turning it into a living hell. Since the creatures of the Holy-Evil World could not just directly

interfere, we had to find a powerful race that could fight against Phillip. Hence, the Holy-Evil World

chose the ancestors of the Shura Race and taught them numerous powerful secret techniques to

defeat the great demon. It was also the reason why the Shura Race suddenly rose to power and

became a superior race. With our help, the ancestors of the Shura Race lived up to the expectations

and finally sealed Phillip's soul, as well as the ghostly demons. Afterward, peace eventually returned to

the continent..." Mikayla revealed, recounting the unknown ancient history of the Shura Continent.
