Zron let out a gasp.
"Brat! How could you put such blame on me!? Me, stealing? No way! I am such a powerful person, do I need to steal..."
He shut his mouth when Kyle took out an old scroll from his mind space, and Jian lunged forward to open it and check the content of the scroll.
"Haha! This is the same scroll Kelvin and I lost! You thief!"
Jian's angry voice made the dwarf sweat.
"You didn't even spare our accessories! Do you have any idea how much suffering we had to endure because we lost this scroll? The king acquired it after spending thousands of mana stones!"
Zron let out a scoff, too thick-skinned to admit he stole it.
"No way, it's a different scroll! Look, the design is older than yours!"
Susan facepalmed when the two started arguing. He quickly dragged Jian away before the kid got beaten by the dwarf, who had started to roll up his sleeves to prove his words.
The moment Jian was out of the picture, Zron swiftly changed the topic.
"You kid, I heard your conversation. You want to leave the planet, right? However, where would you go? Do you have a destination in mind?"
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})Kyle shook his head.
"I have no idea about my destination. But I will follow the mark I placed on Yue to find her, Nine, and the others. Also, I'll increase my strength along the way so I can take down all the enemies I encounter."
Zron rubbed his chin.
"You have reached the pseudo-divine rank. But it's dangerous to wander outside the planet due to the shadow generals and the dark armies..."
In the next moment, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
"Just tell me this. Are you gonna leave alone or go together with the others after a few days?"
Kyle smiled as everyone stared at him in silence. He could see that they all hoped he would leave with them in a few days.
"I'll leave with them after a few days."
Sinon raised his hand and cheered to lighten up the mood, and he succeeded because everyone started laughing at the winged demi-human.
However, at that moment, no one knew that today would be their last day to have a normal conversation with each other.
Zron nodded at Kyle.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})"So, how about you all go to 'The Sacred Divine Land'? I remember our planet has an ethereal tunnel leading to that place. Odiak and many other divine rank individuals discovered it a long time ago and made it usable after sacrificing a part of their strength."
He waved his hand, and many chairs appeared around him. He sat down on one of them, and Kyle quickly sat opposite him to learn more about it. Alec and the others followed suit.
In the distance, Susan released Jian, who let out a snort and made his way to one of the chairs. He put aside the thought of revenge for now because he knew he was weaker, and it seemed like the dwarf had some useful information to share.
Susan let out a sigh and joined everyone.
"The Sacred Divine Land is probably the best place for you all right now."
"James and many other people had used the ethereal tunnel in the past. I'm not sure where they are at the moment, but I heard the Sacred Divine Land is perfect for those who want to gather enough divine energy to break through to the divine rank or go further."
Bia furrowed her brows.
-"What is that place? A place filled with Divine energy?"
Zron let out a hum.
"It's a huge land floating between countless planets in this universe. You are right, the place is filled with divine energy. But it's not called a sacred land because of the divine energy. It's named that way because of the thousands of ancient tombs filled with treasures hidden beneath the land."
"The sacred land is also called the land of spirituality because there's no mana in that land. Instead, there's spiritual energy, which is very useful for strengthening one's soul rank."
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Kyle glanced at the image that had replaced his stats from the corner of his eyes. His soul rank increased after he woke up from the coma because his soul consumed the celestial essence.
'So, there are other ways to increase one's soul rank too?'
Zron continued when he saw all the people around him invested.
"However, only the people who are close to nature or can converse with the mystical spirits in that land can harness that energy. The spirits are small winged creatures without physical bodies, they only have souls."
"It's pretty rare to come across people who can use spiritual energy, except for the special ones who can see the future or fate of others. That's why the land is known as the Sacred Divine Land."
Zron's expression turned serious as he glanced at Susan.
"It's a perfect place for all of you. But unlike Susan and the other guardians who haven't left this planet, I know a lot. I don't think the land is very safe now because half of it is ruled by the demon and dark race after the first shadow general destroyed a big part of it just for the sake of fun."
"But I truly think you kids should go there and enhance your strength because, apart from the sacred land, there's no other place that can offer you sufficient resources to break through the confines of the divine rank."
A teacup appeared in Zron's hand as he took a sip and glanced at the many people staring at him with a hint of excitement.
"Nevertheless, in the end, it all depends on your luck and abilities whether that place becomes a treasure trove for you or a worst nightmare."
Kyle absorbed the information he had just received from the old dwarf. He couldn't believe there was still so much he needed to know to become truly strong.
As everyone around him quietly digested the information, Kyle did not hesitate to ask the many questions he had after knowing Zron had a lot more knowledge than the tower's guardians.
"Do you know more about the shadow generals? What about their leader? Why are they attacking the planets?"
