"Before I came to this world, I actually became the successor of the Holy Lord of the Star Divine World," Rocky replied earnestly.
"What? You are the successor of the Holy Lord?!" The Beast of Fire and Ice was in utter disbelief as soon as it learned Rocky's real identity.
"Yes, that is right. However, I lost my divine power as soon as I entered this world," Rocky replied with a bitter smile.
"I see. No wonder there is something about you that feels very familiar. It turns out that you became the successor of the Holy Lord. Now, everything makes sense!" The Beast of Fire and Ice heaved a deep sigh. It seemed that it experienced several kinds of emotions at once.
"Are you not going to doubt it? Don't you need more proof to ascertain my claim, sir?" Rocky asked. He just felt a little weird that the beast believed what he said without asking for more details or explanation.
"Since you know about the Star Divine World and the Holy Lord, those are enough proof already. Besides, I can clearly perceive the aura of the Star Divine Race from you," the beast answered without a shred of doubt.
"All right then. Can you trust my intention now, sir?" Rocky asked with a smile.
"Of course! Moreover, you are the successor of the Holy Lord, so don't me call sir. It is not appropriate because I am just a descendant of a legendary beast that was brought to this world by a member of the Star Divine Race. In terms of status, I am far lower than you. In fact, if there was anything that I said or did that offended you, please forgive me, lord!" At this point, the beast became very humble that it even lowered its head to show Rocky its utmost respect.
"Don't worry about it. Right now, we can just be friends. You also don't have to call me lord or anything like that. Besides, I'm not really comfortable with it. Let's just forget all the unnecessary and overelaborate formalities. So, may I have your name?" Rocky asked casually.
"It's Harlan!"
"All right, Harlan. You can call me Basil."
"Okay, I got it. How can I cooperate with you, Basil? Can you tell me more about your plans?" Harlan finally went back to the original topic to discuss it further.
At the same time, Rocky immediately explained all of his plans in detail
"I see. I will do my best to help you execute everything smoothly." It turned out that Rocky had instantly gained Harlan's trust, which would be a great help in their battle with the spiritual race's army.
"Thank you, Harlan. By the way, can you tell me what exactly the sacred weapon of the Star Divine Race is? I'm a bit confused as to how the spiritual race knew about its existence," Rocky asked out of curiosity.
"The sacred weapon is actually called the Star Beast Ring, and it was refined from tens of thousands of beast souls. Not only can it summon a powerful spiritual beast army, but it can also easily control thousands of spiritual beasts. When the Star Divine Race first came to this world, they used the ring liberally and wreaked havoc everywhere. However, in the end, because of their excessive arrogance, they were eventually surpassed and suppressed by the Shura Race. Almost all the members of the Star Divine Race were annihilated. Only a few of them survived, and they were the ones who escorted the ring in this forest and sealed it up in the ruins." Then, Harlan showed a much more serious expression before continuing. "I actually don't know how the spiritual race learned about the Star Beast Ring, but I am assuming that they got the information from the Shura Race."
"But if the Star Beast Ring is so powerful, why didn't the Shura Race take it for themselves?" Rocky asked in confusion.
"Indeed, the Star Beast Ring possesses incredible power, but it cannot be used without enough powerful beast taming skills. Therefore, only the members of the Star Divine Race have the ability to control it. Even if it falls into the hands of the Shura Race, the sacred weapon will just be useless. At the same time, I don't think the spiritual race knows about this detail," Harlan explained.
"I see. That is fortunate for us then," Rocky replied with a nod.
"Back then, the remaining descendants of the Star Divine Race actually depended on the ring to travel to this world," Harlan added.
"Wait. Do you mean that the Star Beast Ring gives people the ability to travel through space and time?" Rocky asked expectantly as his eyes lit up.
