Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1797 His Plan

"Basil?" Rocky suddenly heard someone call him from behind. When he turned around, he was a bitsurprised to see that it was actually Colton, together with a much older man.

"Sir, what are you doing here?" Rocky was quite confused to see them there because he had no ideawhat happened in the Holy Heaven Palace after he suddenly entered the Holy-Evil World.

"I should be the one asking questions. Why did you disappear all of a sudden? We have beensearching for you. Where on earth have you been?” Colton returned the question with a stern face."Well, I have been in the Holy Heaven Palace all this time. But I don't think the places I've been towere part of the Spiritual Divine Land,” Rocky answered honestly. Although, he deliberately left outthe part that he entered the Holy-Evil World.

"But what happened? How were you able to go to such places?" Colton was still unsatisfied withRocky's replies, and he wanted more details.

"It's a long story, sir. Moreover, I'm afraid that there are some things that I can't tell you just yet."Since what Deacon, the master of the Holy Heaven Palace, said was not something that could beeasily understood by ordinary people, Rocky thought that it was not the right time to reveal themeven to Colton.

"Colton, I can sense that the connection between this young man and the Holy Heaven Palace isbeyond our imagination. I think it's better to heed his advice and not ask too much right now," theolder man with Colton suddenly cut in.

"And this is..." Before Rocky could finish his sentence, he was a bit startled when he perceived thatthe old man was actually emitting an overwhelming power that also seemed to have reached theShura Realm.

"Oh, this is my grandfather, Jaiden."

"I see. It is a pleasure to meet you, sir," Rocky immediately greeted and cupped his hands in front ofJaiden.

"I need to thank you, young man. If it weren't for you, I might have been trapped in that world forgood," Jaiden said, solemnly expressed his gratitude.

"But I can feel that you are incredibly powerful. In fact, am I right that you have already reached theShura Realm?" Rocky asked at once, trying to confirm his hunch. He assumed that Jaiden must havebeen trapped in the area between the Holy-Evil World and Holy Heaven Palace for quite some time.However, Colton butted in and said, "That is not important right now. I don't care what happened toyou inside the Holy Heaven Palace, but at least give me a proper explanation on why you suddenlydisappeared. Otherwise, I won't know what to tell the other forces. At that time, I am certain thatthey will demand to open an investigation about this matter. Everyone knows that the Holy HeavenPalace is not an ordinary place. If they learned that you have somehow gained something here thatwill make the contest seem unfair to the other candidates, it will create an even bigger mess. So,while we are still here, answer me honestly. If not, I might resort to some drastic measures..." Coltongave Rocky a meaningful look after saying those things. He was deliberately studying the expressionof the young man to see if he would tell the truth or not.

"How about this? You can directly disqualify me from the contest. You can tell the other forces andcandidates that I am still missing and haven't been found yet. Since the contest needs to proceed,you decided to disqualify me,” Rocky proposed without any hesitation.

"Disqualify you? Are you being serious?" Colton was actually stunned because he was about to useit as a threat to make Rocky tell him the truth. However, he did not expect that the suggestionwould come from the young man's mouth.

"Yes. I think that is the best course of action right now. Besides, I do have the qualifications to enterthe final round of the contest as Basil. Moreover, I have already confirmed the identities of the otherGodly Geniuses. Right now, my identity as the Spiritual Emperor of the Di Clan is dispensable. It hadalready served its purpose,” Rocky explained in detail.

"I see. That may actually work. With that, we can avoid unnecessary doubts from the candidates andthe representatives of the forces.” Deep inside Colton, he knew that Rocky also considered this planfor the sake of the Di Clan.

"However, there is still one thing that I need to know..." Colton's eyes narrowed as he continued, "If Iam not mistaken, the changes that suddenly happened here earlier must have been caused by you.So, tell me. Have you already...”

"Sir, are you trying to ask me if I have already reached the peak level of the Emperor Realm?" Rockycut in, knowing exactly what Colton wanted to ask. He was also aware that some abnormal eventsmight have happened in the Holy Heaven Palace when he received Deacon's power and reached theShura Realm earlier. Given Colton's powerful strength, he must have noticed the changes quiteeasily.

However, Rocky did not directly answer the question. Instead, he just smiled in response and letColton reach his own conclusion. After all, Rocky did not only break through the peak level of theEmperor Realm but, in fact, reached the Shura Realm.

"So, you really did it! You have reached the peak level of the Emperor Realm!" Colton exclaimed inastonishment. Although it was already his guess earlier, he was still extremely surprised the momenthe confirmed it.

"I was just lucky enough,” Rocky said with a faint smile. He thought that it was better if they justassumed that he reached that peak of the Emperor Realm than telling others that he had actuallyreached the Shura Realm.

However, he soon noticed a meaningful smile on Jaiden's face. Rocky then realized that he couldnot hide his real strength from the old man. Fortunately, Jaiden was a sensible man and did notreveal his secret.

"Although I know very clearly that one can gain so many attainments within the Holy Heaven Palace,I never thought that it was possible for someone to directly reach the peak of the Emperor Realm. Idon't think luck is enough to achieve this. I can't even begin to imagine what kind of adventures youexperienced in this mysterious place!" Evidently, Colton was pretty excited and curious about whatRocky had undergone.

"Well, I think even if I told you, you might not believe it... So, is there anything else that you want toask me, sir?" "No. I think I heard enough.” Colton had finally regained his composure and shook hishead.

"I see. Then, I guess we should leave this place now.” Now that everything was settled, there was noneed for them to stay there.

Afterward, the three of them left the Holy Heaven Palace and headed back to the Di Clan.

At the same time, the news that the missing former leader of the Di Clan had come backimmediately caused a huge sensation among the members of the clan.

Then, after accommodating Rocky and Jaiden, Colton went to do his responsibilities and issued asummoning order addressed to the remaining participants of the contest.

Soon enough, all of the candidates who were qualified to proceed to the next round, as well as therepresentatives of various forces, gathered on the square of the manor.

"Before I announce the list of all the candidates that will enter the fifth round, I have an importantannouncement to make.” Colton paused for a moment and then continued, “I am glad to witnessthe remarkable performances of the candidates back in the Holy Heaven Palace. You have proven toeveryone that you possess outstanding talents and potentials, and we place great hopes on each ofyou.

On the other hand, as you know, an investigation was conducted regarding the incident inside theHoly Heaven Palace. According to the latest information given to us, the Spiritual Emperor of the DiClan, who had suddenly disappeared, has not been found yet. Therefore, since the contest cannotbe held up by this incident, I decided to disqualify him."

Immediately after, the sudden announcement made quite a stir. After all, most of the people knewthat this missing Spiritual Emperor was Rocky.

Of course, among the crowd, there were mischievous grins. They were obviously elated uponhearing this news. Among these people were the Godly Geniuses, who had always treated Rocky asa thorn on their flesh.

On the other hand, some instantly revealed worried and gloomy expressions. These included Eunice,Carla, and Rocky's other acquaintances.

"That is all for now. I urge everyone to focus on preparing for the upcoming round!"

Right after the candidates and representatives of the different forces dispersed, Eunice and Carlahurriedly approached Colton to ask what really happened with the investigation regarding Rocky'sdisappearance.

Upon seeing the two girls, Colton did not even need to hear what they had to say. Instead, he spokefirst and said, "Follow me!" Since Colton knew that both of them were totally concerned aboutRocky, he decided to accompany them back to the mansion of the Di Clan and reveal the truth.Soon enough, the three of them arrived at the mansion.

At this moment, Rocky and Jaiden were just having a good chat inside the hall of the Di Clan. Lateron, Rocky was not even surprised to see that Colton appeared together with Eunice and Carla. Afterall, he anticipated that after Colton made the shocking announcement, these two wouldimmediately want to know the truth.

Upon seeing that Rocky was before them, laughing heartily with the old man, the two girls wererendered speechless.

"Wait. I don't get it. What's going on?" Eunice could not help but look at Colton with a veryconfused expression.

"This is actually my plan,” Rocky immediately responded.

"Okay. As long as you are safe and sound..." Carla was too relieved that she could not suppress thesmile on her delicate face.

"However, now that I am not going to participate in the contest, I am going to need your help,especially you Carla. But before that, I need to tell you something. Now is the right time, so I hopethat you can be mentally prepared.” At this point, Rocky knew that he needed more hands to helphim achieve his plan. Although there were not that many people that he could fully trust in the firstplace, he was sure that Carla was definitely one of them.

Carla nervously nodded, not knowing what Rocky would say next. At the same time, she could juststare at Rocky's serious face.
