The tightly shut palace gate was a hundred meters high.
On the gate was a plaque with several mysterious and ancient characters engraved.
Although James had studied Elysian characters before, he could not comprehend the engravings on the plaque.
He turned to Melinda and asked. “What do they mean?”
Melinda looked at the plaque briefly and murmured, “It reads ‘Prison Ground’.”
“W-What?” James was confused.
The others also looked at Melinda perplexedly.
Melinda tried to recall past events. After a while, she said lightly, “It’s a long story.”
James said, “We’re all ears.”
Melinda replied, “During the Primeval Age, many Heaven’s Adjudicators existed in the universe. They were ruthlessly loyal to the Heavenly Path, carrying out its orders without question.
“The humans that reached the Ancestral God Rank in the Primeval Agre wanted to destroy the Heavenly Path. To do that, they had to eliminate all Heaven’s Adjudicators before challenging the Heavenly Path.
“Unexpectedly, one Heaven’s Adjudicator refused to see living beings being tormented and falling to ruin due to the battle’s aftermath. So, they made a prison and sealed themselves within the area, swearing never to step out of the place.”
James looked at the palace ahead and asked. “Is that palace the place that Heaven’s Adjudicator set up for themselves?”
Melinda nodded and said, “Precisely. This the Prison Ground they prepared for themselves.”
After a brief thought, James asked. “The Heaven’s Ajudicator swore never to leave this place, so what will happen to them if they did so?”
“I don’t know about that,” Melinda replied as she shook her head doubtfully.
Silvester asked. “A powerful formation surrounds the palace. Is it possible to unlock it?”
Melinda sadly said, “I can’t break a formation set up by a Heaven’s Adjudicator. Unless they leave of their own volition, there is no way to reach them.”
“So did we come here for nothing?” asked James.
