Chapter 903 Are You The Enemy
After Rocky answered her, Alyssa immediately asked more questions. "Then what''s the rtionship
between you and that member of the spiritual race? Why was one of them willing to expend their
spiritual soul to help you? The spiritual soul is their source of power. Once the spiritual soul is damaged
or consumed, their strength will gradually weaken, so the spiritual soul is very important."
"Really? I didn''t know that," Rocky answered honestly, shaking his head. He had had no idea what the
spiritual soul was until now. After hearing Alyssa''s exnation, he was sure that the spiritual soul in
him was from Cherry.
"It''s okay if you don''t want to tell me. Anyway, I have onest question for you. Do you have the
treasure map with you?" Alyssa asked directly, instead of asking him further questions about the
spiritual soul.
"Why are you so interested in the treasure map?" asked Rocky tentatively.
"There is a secret on the treasure map that the spiritual race doesn''t want the rest of the world to know,
but I have no idea what it''s about. Besides, there''s something in the ce mentioned on the treasure
map that I can use to deal with the Holy Dragon Empire," Alyssa stated bluntly.
"Are you still nning to take on the Holy Dragon Empire?" Rocky''s eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes. Even if I don''t do anything, the Holy Dragon Empire will soon deal with the Timber Deity Empire.
Therefore, I have to make the first move and find a way to suppress the Holy Dragon Empire," Alyssa
said without hesitation. The reason why she had provoked the war before was because the emperor of
the Timber Deity Empire was about to abdicate, and the Holy Dragon Empire would certainly take this
opportunity to do something harmful to the Timber Deity Empire. Moreover, her brother was most likely
to im the throne, so she had to make sure that his empire was stable.
"Then it seems that we''re going to be enemies after all." The two of them had started out as enemies,
but had just ended up dering a truce for the sake of convenience. So, Rocky wasn''t surprised that
Alyssa still had hostility towards the Holy Dragon Empire.
"I guess," Alyssa responded, feeling a little sad that things had to end this way.
"I have onest question for you, too. If I be the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, and your
brother bes the emperor of the Timber Deity Empire, will there be any chance for the two
countries to make peace?" Rocky stared intently at Alyssa as he waited for her answer.
"Well..." Alyssa hesitated for a moment.
"Is it hard to answer my question?" Rocky''s eyes narrowed.
"Can I give you an answerter?" Alyssa said after thinking for a while. She was really unable to
answer it at the moment.
Feeling that it was a reasonable request, Rocky nodded casually.
"All right. Let''s get down to business," Alyssa said seriously, changing the topic.
"What else is there?" Rocky was puzzled.
"You have to help me remove the curse," Alyssa replied in a tone that indicated that it should have
been obvious to him.
To her surprise, however, Rocky shook his head. "Why should I help you? It won''t benefit me in any
way."
"If you don''t help me, I will immediately remove the seal of sacred timber from you and leave you to
wait for death," Alyssa threatened him in an icy voice.
"You''re so ruthless," Rocky said while furrowing his eyebrows.
Alyssa''s voice softened. "If you help me, I will help you maintain the seal. If you can sessfully help
me remove the curse, I will send you back to the Holy Dragon Empire in person and ensure your
safety," she said, trying to tempt him. Without her help, Rocky would not be able to return to the Holy
Dragon Empire alone. No matter how fast he was, it was impossible for him to fly back to the Holy
Dragon Empire in three days. And the seal she had made for him would onlyst for three days or less.
Therefore, she had the upper hand now.
"How long will it take?" asked Rocky.
"I''m not sure. Maybe forever," Alyssa said uncertainly.
"A month. That is my limit. Whether I can remove your curse or not, I will leave a monthter," Rocky
said firmly.
"Without me, you can''t go back to the Holy Dragon Empire," Alyssa retorted.
"Don''t forget that the power of the spiritual soul in my body can be used to suppress evil power." Rocky
was not a fool. If he could merge all the evil power sealed in the thirdyer, the power of the spiritual
soul would suppress the evil power sealed in the fourthyer. Then, he would no longer be in danger,
and Alyssa would have no bargaining chip. He knew that he could definitely merge the power sealed in
the thirdyer within a month.
Upon hearing this, Alyssa pouted her lips slightly; it was not that easy to fool Rocky after all.
"A month. Deal. But you have to stay with me the whole month," Alyssa said, putting forth another
condition.
"I will stay in the Cao Mansion for a month. You cane to meet me there if necessary. And that''s
final." After finishing his words, Rocky turned and walked away.
"You..." Watching Rocky leaving, Alyssa bit her lower lip and shook her head helplessly. She couldn''t
tie him to her, and if she pushed him too hard and he decided to walk away, things would be more
Now that Rocky had promised to stay here for a month, he had to make some new arrangements. Of
course, he would not change his previous n but simply alter it a little. He had nned to leave the
rest of the work to Woods, but now that he would be staying here for one more month, he had enough
time to personally make some arrangements.
Of course, he had many things to do at the moment. He hadpleted the primitive genome before.
Moreover, he had gotten a series of data from Robin about the magic pill. Next, he was going to do
? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
rted gene experiments on other spirit-manipted beasts to improve the primitive genome. In
addition, he needed to continue the cultivation of the red egg. For that, he needed to collect as much
blood of the spirit-manipted beast as possible to cultivate the red egg.
And he also needed to further train Robin. After the battle with the spiritual race, he had realized that
Robin already had a very good foundation after its transformation. If it could further evolve, maybe it
could attain the strength of a guardian beast of the spiritual race.
For spirit-manipted beasts, the object most helpful for their evolution and growth was a spiritual
crystal. However, naturally urring spiritual crystals were extremely rare, so he had to find other ways
to obtain one. Suddenly, he remembered the notebook he had found in the valley in the Myriad Beasts
Ground, which had been left by a predecessor. The notebook had talked about making spiritual
crystals. Although the predecessor had failed in producing aplete spiritual crystal, the notebook
had recorded the precious details of the process.
This was undoubtedly the greatest help to Rocky, who possessed modern knowledge.
