The Medallion

Chapter 1788 The Prediction

"I don't know the answer either, but the prophecy also states that once the power of the savior grows strong enough to open the entrance to the Holy-Evil World, something big is about to happen. In short, this event will be the turning point and will decide the fate of the Holy-Evil World." It seemed that even the goddess did not know what would happen next, so the gods in the Holy-Evil World could just rely on the prophecy and the savior they were talking about.

"If this huge event is not known even to the gods like yourself, then I can't even begin to imagine what will happen..." Rocky could not help but let out a frown. He didn't expect that yet again, his fate would be connected to the fate of the whole world.

"The owner of the Holy Heaven Palace is the deity who declared the prophecy. His name is Deacon, and he used to be one of the most powerful deities in the Holy-Evil World. Moreover, the power of the Shura Race's king flowing in your body is actually from Deacon himself. That is the reason why you can open the passageway between the Holy Heaven Palace and the Holy-Evil World. Furthermore, I strongly believe that Deacon has left some clues in the depths of the Holy Heaven Palace. Hence, I hope that you can go further down to find those clues. It will greatly help us save our world," the goddess continued and asked for an additional task.

"What about the tasks in the contest? I haven't finished them yet! Besides, even if I want to do it, I don't think my current strength is enough for me to go deeper into the Holy Heaven Palace," Rocky said with reluctance. After all, he was well-aware of his own strength. With his current state, he knew that he would have difficulties in reaching the depths of the Holy Heaven Palace.

"Don't worry too much. Since you have inherited some of Deacon's power, you should be able to move rather freely in the Holy Heaven Palace. Just believe in your own strength. You are not just an ordinary member of the Shura Race. You are the chosen savior," the goddess reminded him.

"Fine. I'll do my best!" Eventually, Rocky agreed and decided to find any clue he could get.

"All right. You can leave now. Then, if you find anything, you know how to reach me. I will be waiting," the goddess said expectantly.

"By the way, may I know your name? We have already met a few times, but I don't know how to address you properly," Rocky asked out of curiosity.

"It's Mikayla. You don't have to be so formal with me." Then, after the goddess answered Rocky's question, she instantly turned into a white light that soared into the sky and disappeared in thin air.

"Mikayla, huh? That is a nice name. I wonder if she really is as nice as her name suggests," Rocky murmured to herself with a playful smile. Immediately after, his expression grew serious because he needed to go back as soon as possible. He was still in the middle of a test in the Myriad-tribulation Devil Den, and he now had an additional task of exploring the depths of the Holy Heaven Palace.

"Now, how do I get out of here?" But as soon as Rocky thought about it, a light door suddenly appeared in front of him. Thinking that it might actually lead him back, he directly stepped into it.

At the same time, while Rocky was brought to the Holy-Evil World, something very strange happened back in the Spiritual Divine Land. All of the Spiritual Emperors, who were still taking the tests on the nine trial paths, were forcibly teleported out by an invisible and powerful force without any notice.

The next moment, several beams of light flashed outside the Holy Heaven Palace, which turned out to be the contestants that were simultaneously teleported out.

Witnessing this inexplicable scene, Colton, and the representatives of various forces were shocked that all Spiritual Emperors taking the test were brought out all of a sudden.

"What happened? Why were we teleported out?"

"I don't know! No one even used the teleportation rune. Is there anything wrong with the Spiritual Divine Land?"

"More importantly, what will happen to the test? Are we going to pass the fourth round or not?"

At this moment, all contestants felt pretty confused. They were all in an uproar because most of them had not finished the trial yet. Naturally, they got worried that this would negatively affect their performance in the test because they were not able to finish it.

Meanwhile, Gloria tried to stay silent and not say a thing since she saw how Rocky was devoured by the light door just before they were teleported outside. She assumed that Rocky's disappearance had something to do with what happened to them just now. Thus, in order to take away the suspicions from him, Gloria deliberately feigned ignorance.

"Count the number of the participants first! See if anyone has not been teleported out yet," Colton ordered immediately. At the same time, Colton and the elders found it very strange. After all, this was the first time ever that this kind of unusual incident had happened. Hence, they needed to figure out what happened inside the Spiritual Divine Land that triggered this occurrence.

Then, after counting and listing all the participants that were teleported out, they found out that everyone was present—except Rocky.

When Colton learned about this, he could not help but wear a worried expression. However, since he was the acting chief and the supervisor of the contest, he had to calm down. Immediately after, he signaled the elders not to panic as well.

"Chief, an investigation would be necessary for this situation..." One of the elders of the Di Clan finally broke the silence and stated the obvious.

"I know. But we cannot conduct it right now," Colton responded firmly. This was obviously not a small matter. Hence, to be on the safe side, their priority was to stabilize the overall situation first.

Then, Colton stood in front of the participants and the representatives, and announced, "Everyone, on behalf of the organizers of the contest, we apologize for what happened. As you know, the Holy Heaven Palace is such a mysterious place. So, from time to time, there will always be some occurrences that cannot be explained by common sense. Of course, for everyone's safety, I think we should suspend this trial. But for the sake of fairness, as long as the Spiritual Emperor reaches the end of the third trial path before the mutation happened, whether they made it or not, they will get a passing mark."

Upon hearing this, those Spiritual Emperors who had been eliminated at the end of the third trial path were naturally the most relieved, especially the low-grade Spiritual Emperors like Michelle.

For everyone present, Colton made the right call and none were against it.

After making the final count, fifty Spiritual Emperors actually made the cut, passing the fourth round. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Since there was nothing more to do right now, the representatives of all the forces, as well as the participants, left the area one after another.

At this point, only Eunice, and the other girls, who had been Rocky's companions inside the Spiritual Divine Land, were left. They found out that Rocky was missing, so they wanted to hear an update on what was going on.

The moment everyone left, Eunice rushed towards Colton, intending to ask him about the matter. "Chief Colton..."

"I know. You don't need to say anything. Just go back with them for now and take a rest. Leave everything to us and we will handle this." Colton knew exactly what Eunice would tell him. Moreover, since Valeria was with her, he did not think that it would be appropriate to discuss things elaborately.

Since Colton specifically told Eunice that they would handle it, she had no choice but to leave with Carla and Valeria, and go back to their quarters.

"Sir, we know that the missing participant is not really a member of the Di Clan. Who on earth is he? And why is he the only one missing?" the elders could not help but ask anxiously. None of them knew Rocky's real identity. What they only knew was that Colton allowed Rocky, Valeria, and Gloria to enter the contest and use the name of the Di Clan under certain conditions. However, they were not included in the discussion of this matter because Colton made the decision by himself. But now that this inconceivable incident happened, the elders could not hold back their curiosity anymore.

"Forgive me, but I promise to explain everything later. Right now, the most important thing is to bring him back as soon as possible," Colton said bluntly. He was worried that Rocky might be in danger after being left alone in the Spiritual Divine Land. Hence, Colton decided to make the search for Rocky the top priority.

"But sir, you know how mysterious and dangerous the Spiritual Divine Land is.

How are we going to find him there? It will be like searching for a needle in a haystack! Plus, what are we going to do with the contest?" one of the elders pointed out.

"I will go and search for him by myself. The rest of you can head back first. Listen! If I don't come back within a day, I appoint Elder Myron to preside over the contest on my stead. Don't worry about me and carry on!" As soon as Colton finished giving instructions, he instantly flew over to the Holy Heaven Palace and entered it.

While they were all left there, the elders could not help but wonder why Colton seemed to put so much importance on Rocky. At this point, many of them were already assuming that there was a big secret being kept from them.
