Fortunately, Rocky reacted in time and quickly backed away, only to notice that there was a vaguely
constant flow of force in front of him, forming an invisible barrier.
"Have you forgotten what I said? The Divine Land has already been sealed with mysterious power by
the spiritual race. It's very dangerous for you to go in directly like this, for they have sealed it with the
power of the Divine Spiritual Source," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast reminded.
"I see..." Rocky murmured quietly, almost to himself, as he took out a hand-painted map. This map was
a combination of the patterns on the stone slate and the patterns on Marcia's back. It was a complete
map that would allow him to enter the Divine Land.
If he had looked at this map before entering the Divine Land, he would definitely think that it was just a
painting, as the Divine Land was an entirely different space from the Wild Spirit Land. However, once
he had entered the Divine Land, the map suddenly became clear. The light dots on it indicated that
there were lands of different sizes, among which were a red dot and a clear route. These dots and
routes constantly shuttled through with each other, until they finally ended with the largest star.
"This red light dot should be the weakness of the sealing power. And leaders of the spiritual race clans
probably took this route back then," Rocky speculated.
Then, he began to move horizontally according to the position marked by the red dot on the map. Since
the sealing power was invisible, and no one knew how large the area it covered, he decided to adopt
the safest way.
He wandered for a while around this starry world while looking for the red dot.
After searching for a long time, he finally found a very similar position and got close to it instantly. Soon,
he confirmed that it was the exact position marked by the red dot.
"It should be here," Rocky muttered as his eyes observed his surroundings.
"Be careful. If this is the weakness of the sealing power, not only you can enter, but also the beings
inside can come out," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast reminded him once again.
"There are beings inside? Hasn't the Star Divine Race already perished?" Rocky asked, looking
surprised.
"Do you think there are no other living beings in the Divine Land other than the Star Divine Race?" the
Dragon-shaped Soul Beast asked back haughtily.
Only then did Rocky realize that he had indeed ignored this point. He had forgotten that the Divine
Land was also a world, so there must be other living beings.
However, before Rocky could react, a huge black shadow flew towards him at an astonishing speed. It
was short and long without wings, like a creature more suited in the sea, as it wriggled on its stomach
like a worm. However, the most amazing thing was that its aura was equivalent to that of a spirit-
manipulated beast at the eight-star level.
"That's a Specter-shadow Beast!" Rocky heard the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast cry out.
His eyes widened in momentary surprise, but he quickly recovered and pulled out the Frozen Wind
Dagger, turning it into a huge Flaming Blade. With a slash to the air, a huge flame shot out and
confronted the beast.
However, the Specter-shadow Beast was so fast that it avoided Rocky's attack easily. It let out a loud
roar at the same time, which made his ears ring painfully, and he momentarily lost his hearing. The
ringing in his ears was the only sound he could hear, and the Specter-shadow Beast seemed to
disappear out of thin air, like a ghost.
But even though he could not see any visible threats, he could sense that something was wrong. As he
closed his eyes to deepen his sense, he soon felt that something was stalking him in the darkness,
approaching him. Although its aura was completely gone and it seemed to be invisible, he could still
feel some movements.
Thanks to these faint movements, Rocky avoided the beast's silent attack and launched a
counterattack.
Although the Specter-shadow Beast was very powerful, with Rocky's strength, he was quite capable of
handling it. It didn't take him long before he defeated the beast, and it fled away limping.
When the beast ran away from Rocky, he didn't bother to give chase because he didn't want to kill it
anyway. Instead, he continued moving forward. Very soon, he smoothly passed through the seal and
entered the Divine Land. Compared to the scene he had seen before when he approached, he
discovered that the Divine Land was as vast as the starry sky. And the lands wrapped by the light
membrane were like planets.
After that, he followed the route on the map and the traces of the spiritual race clans' leaders to
wherever it ended, for he really wanted to know where the forbidden items that had been taken out of
the Divine Land came from.
However, the Divine Land was much larger than Rocky had imagined. It took him two days and three
nights to finally arrive at his destination, which was also the biggest piece of land he had seen along
the way. He flew into the land excitedly and came upon a series of mountains and rivers, green hills
and blue waters, and the land seemed teeming with vitality. He could not imagine that this kind of place
was no longer inhabited.
In the middle of mountains and rivers, a magnificent and huge ancient palace stood on the highest
mountain peak, as if it was looking down upon everything. It was even more magnificent than the
Heavenly God Temple! Various buildings of diverse sizes surrounded the ancient palace, completely
encircling it.
"Is this..." Rocky was at a loss for words. He didn't know what he was going to say.
"The Divine Gods Hall..." the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast also muttered, sounding as awed as Rocky.
"So, these forbidden items all came from here?" Rocky could not help but wonder.
Then, he descended from the sky and landed in front of the Divine Gods Hall. After he landed, he
looked at the hall and found that it was even more magnificent up close. The Heavenly God Temple
was much inferior to this place.
The Divine Gods Hall was supported by hundreds of stone pillars, so except for the roof, it was
completely open. One could enter it from any direction.
Rocky strode into the hall and passed through the heavy stone pillars. Then, he saw a spacious hall in
front of him, which resembled a blank space, as it had virtually no furniture. Its ceiling was a sharp
contrast to the lack of furnishing, as it had a lot of vivid and exquisite-looking murals. However, the
most eye-catching feature in the hall was the twelve statues standing about seven or eight meters in
height, scattered in all directions for people to worship.
The twelve statues were the twelve figures that Rocky had seen in the Heavenly God Temple!
"It turns out that the Star Divine Race also worships the same twelve figures." Although Rocky had
known that the twelve statues had a very close relationship with the Star Divine Race, he did not
expect that these twelve statues were also the gods that the race worshiped as the spiritual race.
"To the Star Divine Race, they have placed great hopes on these twelve divine gods. They all believed
that these divine gods could make the Star Divine Race stronger. But ironically, all they would bring in
the end was a disaster—a disaster that would exterminate their race." At that moment, a very calm and
gentle voice sounded.
Rocky abruptly whirled around to look for where the voice was coming from. He saw a seemingly
gentle and calm figure slowly walking towards him. The figure had human features, but it exuded an
aura that was hard to face directly, and its body was shining with a faint golden
light.
