"Are we going back?" Ivan asked.
Lilly nodded. "Of course, we're going back, but before we do, we need to pick something up..."
Ivan looked at her. "The thing Rory mentioned?"
Lilly nodded.
However, she wasn't retrieving it for herself, but for Ivan.
She had a feeling that this item would help Ivan take a significant step forward.
If her companion could become stronger during their journey together, she could relax a bit more.
Who doesn't like to take it easy?
Once they obtained this item, she had a feeling that she and Ivan could safely return home.
Although it should be safe to go back now, it's always better to be more secure.
But...
Huh? It seemed like she had forgotten something...
The trapped Black Dragon was speechless. I haven't come to see you for so many days. You wouldn't really think I'm a dragon that doesn't keep its word, would you?!
The still-chained Earth Goddess said, "D*mn it! You promised to unlock the Nether Chain for me!!"
...
Rory, dispirited and disoriented, unknowingly arrived at the temple, concealing Emperor Greenbow's secret.
Emperor Greenbow was the guardian of the Nether. His statue stood here, but the exact origin or creator of it could not be traced.
The massive statue stood atop a mountain, with a small temple behind it.
Rory accidentally discovered that a secret was buried under Emperor Greenbow's statue. He had once peeked and found a large number of immortality stones, cultivation jade slips, and others.
Emperor Greenbow's legacy was actually hidden here!
That's why Rory speculated that Emperor Greenbow had fallen and firmly believed that he could become the next Emperor Greenbow.
It was because he was the first to uncover the legacy hidden by Emperor Greenbow. Such things were usually passed on to those who were destined.
He was the chosen one!
Unfortunately, he had exhausted all his strength before and couldn't move Emperor Greenbow's statue.
Rory took a deep breath and murmured, "This is the opportunity Emperor Greenbow left for me. I am the chosen one. I will succeed."
He successfully convinced himself!
Temporary setbacks meant nothing!
Today, no matter how embarrassed he was in front of his clan, he would definitely bring that young woman in front of everyone and defeat her with one move once he became Emperor Greenbow!
He would eventually regain what he lost!
Rory's eyes flashed with determination. He gritted his teeth and attempted to move Emperor Greenbow's statue again!
As a result, he bit his lips until they bled, but the statue didn't budge.
Rory felt both anxious and angry. Why couldn't he move it?
He cut his hand again and poured the blood on the statue.
Ancient methods were always like this; only the inheritor's blood could unlock the treasure's doors...
But it was still useless.
"Maybe my strength is not enough..." Rory sat down dejectedly at the foot of the statue's stairs.
He was already at the peak of his strength now because he couldn't go any higher.
Wasn't Emperor Greenbow's legacy meant for him?
It must be for him. He discovered it, so it was meant for him. Why else would others not discover it, and he did?
