The Medallion
Chapter 1644 The Star Beast Ring

"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.

"That is right. As a matter of fact, the ring wasn't really created by the Star Divine Race. It is said that it is one of the treasures left behind by the Creator himself. Later on, the Star Divine Race happened to obtain it and just refined it into a ring. However, only the one with the divine powers of the Holy Lord could activate its ability to cross time and space. Moreover, it must be used right before the entrance of the space tunnel," Harlan clarified.

"Harlan, I actually have an unreasonable request..." Rocky said as he suddenly cupped his hands in front of the beast.

"Sure. Go ahead," Harlan quickly responded.

"I want to borrow the ring and its power. I need to send some of my companions back to our original world. However, currently, I don't have enough divine power to do it. Hence, I would like to borrow the power of the Star Beast Ring," Rocky pleaded.

"The ring was actually sealed shut by the Star Divine Race, so I can't open it by myself. But since you are the successor of the Holy Lord, perhaps you can do it. How about this? After we repel the army of the spiritual race, I will take you to the ruins so you can try to obtain it," Harlan suggested as it wanted to help Rocky.

"Yes, of course! Thank you very much!" Rocky said with utter gratefulness.

The next moment, Rocky left and returned to the camp of the human army.

Upon arriving at the camp, Rocky immediately sent out Eunice as his special envoy to express his intention of cooperating with Beverly's army, but only on the condition that both sides would keep half of their forces outside the forest just in case of an unforeseen accident.

It didn't take that long before Eunice returned to their camp. Then, she told Rocky that Beverly agreed to his terms. Therefore, the next morning, both sides sent half of their forces inside the forest to collaborate and attack the lair of the Beast of Fire and Ice.

At the same time, Rocky summoned Eunice, Kye, Tessa, and Ramon and told them his secret plan. Hearing this, the four were very surprised. They did not expect that Rocky had already persuaded Harlan to cooperate with the human army to route the spiritual race's army.

Since the plan was strictly confidential and could not be leaked, Rocky could only let the four of them know. At the same time, he also gave them another important task-to lead the other half of the troops to guard the entrance of the ruins. He knew that Beverly's real purpose for teaming up with them was to obtain the sacred weapon. So, Rocky speculated that she would definitely strike the ruins first. After all, upon killing Harlan, she could finally enter the ruins and get the treasure.

After arranging the task for Eunice and the others, Rocky summoned the entire army and announced that they would temporarily join hands with the spiritual race in order to eliminate the Beast of Fire and Ice in the forest to obtain the internal beast core from its body.

Of course, all of the members of the human army were shocked since it was the first time that they heard such a thing. However, no one dared to question Rocky's order because they could only rely on him. The next morning, Rocky led the other half of the troops into the primeval forest, ready for the supposed collaboration with Beverly's troops.

Meanwhile, the four spirit warriors led about twenty thousand soldiers, who were proficient in the mysterious military arrays, to lurk at the entrance of the ruins to prevent the other members of the spiritual race from entering.

On the other hand, Beverly had also made the same arrangement. She asked two of her deputy commanders to lead about twenty thousand soldiers to safeguard the entrance of the ruins and wait for further orders. At the same time, she led the rest of the army, together with the two Emperor Realm masters to join Rocky and his troops.

Soon enough, Rocky and Beverly, together with their troops, met in front of Harlan's lair.

"Commander Basil, you and these two Emperor Realm masters will take care of distracting the Beast of Fire and Ice. Then, I will be responsible for all the other spiritual beasts," Beverly directly instructed Rocky.

"Okay. I got it." Rocky immediately nodded in agreement.

Upon completion of necessary preparations, the human army and the spiritual race's army launched their combined attacks to raid Harlan's lair.

At the same time, the spiritual beasts outside the lair immediately began their counterattack as soon as they saw the two armies. In a flash, a fierce battle broke out deep in the forest.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
