The Medallion novel Chapter 1402

"It's just to see if you're qualified enough to be my successor," the Holy Lord said seriously.

"I beg your pardon? Your successor?" stunned, Rocky asked in surprise.

"To tell you the truth, there is someone like me out there who records the history in all the worlds, even including the one you're from. The Holy Lord is just a title given to me in the Star Divine World," the Holy Lord explained, completely rendering Rocky speechless.

"Then who on earth are you?" Initially, Rocky thought that the Holy Lord was from the Star Divine Race. But as it turned out, there was more to his unbelievable secret.

"We are called watchers. As for our origins, you'll definitely learn more after you become my successor. Despite having the ability to travel through space and time and being powerful, we can't interfere with each of the world's history. We are bound to only record the history of each world, and nothing more. We can live forever in a certain time, but still, this does not make us immortal. Frankly, I should have disappeared long ago when the Star Divine Race was wiped out. But because Divine King Belial wanted me to record the history of the Wild Spirit Land, I let myself fall asleep instead."

"I first thought that I could make Divine King Belial my successor. I just didn't expect him to decide to destroy himself. That was why I began to closely observe you the minute you showed up. Even though you are the reincarnation of Divine King Belial, I believe that your soul still comes from another world. No matter how hard I try to find out why, I just couldn't. Perhaps, it is just heavenly destined that even watchers like us can't predict the future. I thought of it a lot of times, and I believe that if you become my successor and the next watcher of this world, you may be able to change the fate of this world," the Holy Lord stated slowly.

"So, does that mean that I can change the fate of the entire Wild Spirit Land as long as I am your successor?" Rocky clarified.

"You got that right. The watchers might not be able to intervene in the process of the world, but we have the responsibility to maintain the world's balance. If you become a watcher, the responsibility of maintaining balance and making sure it doesn't change rests in your hands. In my opinion, the Wild Spirit Land is bound to be destroyed. It is just a matter of time. However, it is being destroyed too soon," the Holy Lord added.

"So, how do I pass your test?" Rocky asked as soon as he heard his explanation. In fact, he didn't need to think about anything else at that time. He believed that sacrificing himself once again was nothing as long as it would mean that he could save the world. Moreover, he thought that this sacrifice was tenfold better than dragging a seemingly lifeless body to live a miserable life.

"Okay, then. Come with me. You don't have to worry. This would be very easy for you. After all, you are already qualified to be a successor. Plus, I admire that you are very selfless! That trait is very hard to come by nowadays!" While he said those words, a strong golden light immediately lifted from his body, instantly enveloping both him and Rocky. In the blink of an eye, they vanished from where they stood.

Meanwhile, humans and the members of the spiritual race worked together fervently to fight against the calamity beasts. However, their combined power was still deemed to be minuscule and insignificant under the overwhelming power of the calamity beasts.

A month later, the Demonic Thunder Tiger, which had been subdued by Rocky, emerged in the Holy Dragon Empire's territory. Ferociously, it marched its way condescendingly, destroying everything in its path.

As a result, the Holy Dragon Empire gathered all of its soldiers and spirit manipulators at once. They all tried their best to banish the beast from their land, but no matter what they did, the Demonic Thunder Tiger only smashed them with a terrifyingly powerful counterattack.

At that time, a myriad of corpses lay on the ground, with everything burned into crisps on the battlefield at the Gehenna Border. Everything was rendered lifeless or destroyed in ruins as the sky struck lightning and thunder every so often.

Not long after, a gigantic beast stood upright on its four legs on the horizon, flashing lightning all over its entire body. It took one step after another, making everything within a hundred meters around it turn into a void.

"P...Preceptor Marcia, I'm afraid we can't stop it." Panting from running, a young man sped his way into the camp and reported.

At that time, many people gathered in the camp, including Marcia, Bryant, Sabina, Lucilla, Shirley, and other familiar faces. The young man who came in was also related to them as he was Sabina's younger brother, Flint.

On the other hand, Marcia was given the title of imperial preceptor to assist the state affairs after Nigel ascended the throne.

"Deputy Commander Flint, how many soldiers and spirit manipulators are left at the front line?" Marcia asked directly.

"Only thirty thousand soldiers and less than a hundred spirit manipulators left respectively," Flint replied at once.

"That means that we have lost more than a hundred thousand soldiers and hundreds of spirit manipulators in such a short time. If it goes on at this rate, we can't drive the beast out of our empire even if we put every single ounce of force we have," Bryant sighed dejectedly.
