The Medallion novel Chapter 1333

"Holy Lord?" Rocky exclaimed in surprise.

"I can't believe we're meeting again so soon. This encounter is happening earlier than I predicted," Holy Lord said calmly. From his tone and lack of surprise, it was evident that he had foreseen this.

"Why are you here?" Rocky asked. Bewilderment and curiosity were evident in his voice as he glanced at Holy Lord.

"As I belong to this world, it is only natural that you would find me here. You, on the contrary, shouldn't be here. But now that you are, it means you have inherited the full power of Divine King Belial. Otherwise, King Apollyon wouldn't have allowed you to come here." Holy Lord's observation was so accurate that it surprised Rocky.

Rocky didn't deny it, but his eyes conveyed the doubt coursing through him.

"Are you now wondering how I returned here after the spiritual race sealed the Divine Land? Since you can enter, it is natural that I can as well. No one is more familiar with this world than me. A mere seal of the spiritual race can't stop me," Holy Lord said proudly.

"I'm just a little surprised," Rocky admitted.

"You must have a lot of questions. Perhaps you're curious about how two worlds that originally did not interfere with each other came to be connected?" Holy Lord seemed to be able to read Rocky's mind.

"So, I've been right all along. The Divine Land and the Wild Spirit Land are two different worlds." A smirk tugged at the corner of Rocky's lips. Holy Lord's words were tantamount to confirming Rocky's previous assumptions.

"You are very smart. No wonder you come from another world. Since you are here, I will share with you why the Star Divine Race would be connected to the Wild Spirit Land." Holy Lord paused, raised his head, and glanced at the twelve statues. With a slow nod, he recounted a period of the Star Divine Race's history that had resulted in the birth of the twelve deities.

"This place was initially a very peaceful world. There was no war, no killing, and no rulers. Everyone was self-sufficient, and it was a happy and promising land. The Star Divine Race beings were born with extreme power and the ability to control all kinds of spiritual power with different attributes. Even so, they coexisted peacefully with the other creatures of this world. One day, the power that maintained this world suddenly lost its balance, hurling this world toward imminent danger. Later, tens of thousands of our people died, and fewer than a thousand remained. To protect this world, the Star Divine Race selected twelve of their strongest race members to go to the Alien World to find a way to save this world," Holy Lord explained as he fixed his gaze on the twelve statues. He seemed to be in a daze, as though reliving a memory.

Rocky nodded silently. He could guess that these twelve members later became the twelve deities.

"In the end, these twelve powerful members brought back a powerful source, the Divine Spiritual Source. Once they brought the source to this world, it formed a connection between both worlds. The other world, as you would know by now, is the world where the Wild Spirit Land is located."

"Did the Divine Spiritual Source originally belong to the Wild Spirit Land?" Rocky asked with widened eyes. He hadn't expected to learn that the Divine Spiritual Source originated in the Wild Spirit Land, not the Star Divine Race.

"Yes, that is correct." Holy Lord nodded as he continued, "The twelve members that retrieved the Divine Spiritual Source were conferred the title of deity by the other members as they had saved their world and the Star Divine Race. This is how the twelve deities came to be."

"Didn't you say that the twelve members were the saviors of the Wild Spirit Land the last time we spoke? How can that be when you just explained that they saved their own world, not the Wild Spirit Land?" Confusion coursed through Rocky. He had assumed that the twelve deities had protected the Wild Spirit Land. But as per Holy Lord's story, they had only saved their world.
