The Medallion novel Chapter 1664

"So, do you still want me to stay here?" Rocky asked.

"Well, it's up to you. The door's restriction has already been broken, so there's no way to hinder you. If you want to leave, then I won't force you to stay," Esteban responded casually as he waved his hand.

"I see. I will leave when I want to. But for now, I think I will stay for a while," Rocky replied flatly.

"Ha! What an interesting fellow!" Esteban let out a sneer and said nothing more.

"By the way, can I ask something? What is the God-worshipping Ritual?" Rocky inquired when he suddenly remembered that he heard about it when he hid near the round platform.

"Oh, that? To put it simply, it is the worship of the gods. The ritual can summon the gods that the people worship. Moreover, in that same ritual, the gods will select the so-called Godly Genius, whom they will bestow a divine power," Esteban explained briefly.

"Gods? Are you saying that there are several gods in this continent?" Rocky asked as it easily caught his attention.

"That is right. There are indeed gods that lived here on the continent, and their power is easily stronger than that of the members of the Shura Race. Actually, I also did not believe it before. But after I participated in the God-worshipping Ritual for the first time, I saw the gods with my own eyes. Therefore, I believe that they exist in this world." While Esteban was saying this, the expression on his face became peaceful and solemn.

"Now, that's interesting," Rocky said with a playful smile. He used to be the successor of the Holy Lord of the Star Divine Race and possessed an incomparable divine power. Therefore, even if gods really did exist in this world, he did not need to be surprised.

"The members of the Shura Race pay great importance to this ritual. Hence, during that period, the entire Ghost Capital will be heavily guarded to prevent anyone from making any malicious trouble. If I were you, I would stay in the Ghost Palace," Esteban suggested.

"It turns out that there are still a lot of people who want to make trouble in the territory of the leader, huh?" Rocky let out a faint smile as he shook his head.

"There are actually a total of nine leaders in the Shura Race. Each of them works for the royal family by ruling a specific territory. The members of the Shura Race believe that the strongest one deserves to get more. Thus, the nine leaders try to expand their territories in every possible method there is. At the same time, the royal family does not directly interfere in this competition. In addition to the alliances, the leaders do every means just to disrupt the others' jurisdiction. The God-worshipping Ritual only happens once every ten years. Hence, if it is destroyed and the gods are defiled, it will be such a bad thing for all of the leaders!"

"It seems that even if it is against their own kind, the Shura Race remains to be bloodthirsty war freaks. Ironically, this kind of thinking also improves the overall strength of the entire race."

"I also agree. The only problem is that because of this ridiculous system, the population of the Shura Race is getting smaller and smaller. Hence, in order to ensure the prosperity of their race, they have no choice but to capture various masters from various alien worlds and bring them back here to become members of the Shura Race. That is the main reason why there are members of the human race and the spiritual race within the Shura Race," Esteban explained.

"Although the members of the Shura Race are known to be cruel, I actually admire that many of them are smart rulers," Rocky remarked.

"Smart? Ha-ha! Do you really think that those barbarous beings can think of such a method by themselves? The Shura Race is under the command of their gods. That is why they could control the entire continent," Esteban said as he suddenly burst into laughter.

"I see. No wonder they really give importance to worshipping those gods," Rocky responded indifferently.

"However, the matter within the Shura Race has nothing to do with you. For now, you just need to stay and be at ease in the Ghost Palace. When the God-worshipping Ritual is over, I will find an opportunity to sneak you away from the Shura Race," Esteban said casually.

"Why are you helping me? It's just that I don't think you can get any benefit from it."

"Ha-ha! Did I say that I want something in return? I just don't want you to get involved in all this chaos within the Shura Race. Moreover, both of us know that you have a special relationship with the Di Clan," Esteban sneered as he shot a meaningful glance at Rocky.
