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 toodangerous than the previous ones, he didn’t want Valeria to take the risk.

"Hal 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 inher heart. She clearly knew that it was because she didn't want to be apart from her husbandHence, even though Rocky wanted her to stay behind again, she would definitely not agree thistime.

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

"Really? You're serious?" Valeria thought that it would take more than that to convince Rocky, so shedid 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 alsoqualified to compete to become the successor of the king. I think that it will be unfair of me toremove that opportunity for you. So, yes, come with me and give it a try." The main reason whyRocky suddenly changed his mind was that he had once promised Valeria to make the Flower Fiefbenefit a lot in exchange for her agreeing to his plans. So, now that a rare opportunity presenteditself, 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...” Valeriaimmediately dismissed the idea, a bit frightened of even thinking about it. After all, being a leaderof a fief was nothing compared to being a leader of the entire Shura Race. She thought that shewould 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 notbecome the successor, it will still be very advantageous for us to pass the challenges in the GhostlyDemon 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 hewas 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 PrincessLayla become the successor, then you are definitely going to be promoted and become royalmembers. It also means that the Ghost Fief and Flower Fief will receive generous benefits!” Gilbertaffirmed.

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

Before Valeria could finish her sentence, Rocky already butted in. He knew that Valeria was kind ofemotional 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 toPrincess Layla later on. She will make the final call on who will go with her in the Ghostly DemonLand."

Then, Gilbert turned to Valeria and said, "Valeria, you can go back first. I just have something todiscuss 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 wasable 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 thatright?” 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 foundout 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 toprobe, 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 afabricated backstory and continued, "Before I met my master, I stumbled in the border of thehuman race and was attacked by humans. I actually almost died, but fortunately, Basil saved my lifeIn order for me to survive, he also gave me some treasures and even a method to cultivate myspiritual 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 veryinterested 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 himthat Prince Zain failed on invading the human race. Otherwise, the king would have already chosenhim as the successor, and Princess Layla would not even have the chance to compete.” AlthoughGilbert was also a member of the royal family, it was just natural that he prioritized his owninterests. He chose to support Princess Layla, knowing that her leadership would be the best for theGhost Fief. After all, if Zain became the king of the Shura Race, it was most likely that he woulddeclare 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 wouldturn exactly in the direction that he expected.

However, getting the chance to enter the Ghostly Demon Land was something that he did notexpect. He was still confused as to why the king suddenly made this decision, and he speculatedthat 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 thesky 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 wasnowhere to be found.

"Madam? I know that you summoned me here. What can I do for you?" Rocky asked while lookingaround. 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 suddenannouncement 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 assumedthat the deities were behind this because only superior beings could have influenced the king to dosuch 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 bestcandidate 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 onlyassume that someone must be behind this..." Mikayla said as hints of anxiety could be heard fromher 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 suddenlybecoming 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 theancestors of the Shura Race sealed the ghostly demons, as well as their leader. Philip's soul wassealed in the Demon Sealing Palace inside the Ghostly Demon Land. In fact, the ancestors of theShura Race only knew that Phillip was the master of the ghostly demons. However, the truth is thathe was actually a famous great demon who existed in the Holy-Evil World. Before he was sealed bythe members of the Shura Race, he first fought the deities, and he was seriously injured in thatbattle. After that, he fled to the Shura Continent, together with his cohorts, creating chaosthroughout the continent and turning it into a living hell. Since the creatures of the Holy-Evil Worldcould not just directly interfere, we had to replace a powerful race that could fight against Phillip.Hence, the Holy-Evil World chose the ancestors of the Shura Race and taught them numerouspowerful secret techniques to defeat the great demon. It was also the reason why the Shura Racesuddenly rose to power and became a superior race. With our help, the ancestors of the Shura Racelived 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 unknownancient history of the Shura Continent.
