Mike shook his head, confused by the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord's words. "Sir, what hope? What do you mean?"
Bromley was the first to react. "Is it because of the butterfly Mike carried?"
The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord nodded in response.
"That butterfly... Does it have any secret?" Mike asked.
"If he comes, I believe he will save the whole Ruin Graveyard," the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord answered with a smile.
In fact, he no longer attached much importance to the Ruin Graveyard.
He now placed all his hopes on Zen, so this place became dispensable to him.
He and his disciples left their souls because they wondered how things could develop. Even if Zen did not arrive, it wouldn't have mattered.
Nonetheless, he was convinced that Zen would come.
After all, both the divine land and his parents were here.
"He? Who is it that you refer to?" Mike asked frantically.
The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord grinned and his body began to fluctuate. While he returned to Rocher's Lone Sword, he spoke calmly, "Hold on. He should be coming any moment now."
Then, he disappeared and everyone grew silent. They could not believe someone was going to save them.
In terms of strength, Rocher reached the thirty-third floor of the Mysterious Yellow Tower and was already a master in the thirty-third stage of the Other Shore Realm. With this, he was well recognized as a top master in the chaos. If anything, Zen might not even stand a chance against him.
Was the man who the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord mentioned even more powerful than Rocher?
Though no one said it aloud, everyone doubted what he had said.
He did not make a promise or reassure them. His words sounded more like encouragement so they could push through future difficulties.
"No matter what, the Ruin Graveyard is the last place we will live in. Let's hold on until reinforcements arrive," Bromley reassured.
Outside the Ruin Graveyard, all the heads, big and small, were cleared up.
However, a large number of heads still arrived from afar.
After what happened in the Rotten Tree Forest, all the races from the Ruin Graveyard sent their clansmen and warriors to inquire.
With full transparency, Bromley explained everything they knew and what the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord had said.
People had very mixed reactions.
When the heads initially attacked, the native races of the Ruin Graveyard did not fight to the fullest of their abilities.
They had doubts about each other and suspected the humans. Moreover, they made intricate escape plans if it was necessary.
Once the Ruin Graveyard was completely destroyed, they would gather the remaining members to escape.
They figured that though the heads covered almost everywhere, they might only be distributed across the Ruin Graveyard.
As they had anticipated this to unfold, the races preserved their strength for the escape rather than the attacks.
However, they grew excited as they caught sight of the light dragons in the Rotten Tree Forest.
As expected, the Ruin Graveyard was protected by a powerhouse.
On top of that, Bromley's words excited them even more. They began to give an all-out fight.
Just like that, all the powerful warriors of the human race and the other races had gone out.
If the heads even came close, they would be instantly killed to prevent them from devouring and growing stronger.
In the first three days, almost no head survived in the Ruin Graveyard under the joint efforts of many races.
But on the fourth day, the dynamic changed.
The number of heads had increased, and they were ten to twenty times larger than the previous heads that attacked the Ruin Graveyard.
Although all the races did their best to fight the heads off, some managed to escape and devoured many creatures almost instantly.
