Chapter 1329 Never Give Up

"Basil, we will never give up on you no matter what kind of person you claimed to be, okay? Deep
down, we know you are lying to us. Plus, we understand that you must be dealing with your own
difficulties. With that being said, we will never let you fight alone," Marcia said understandingly. After
going through such a life-and-death trial, she had found out that Rocky's apathy and brutality were just
a facade. It seemed as if he was trying to conceal something, and the thing was taking its toll on him,
putting an unbelievable weight on his shoulders. Therefore, Marcia thought that it was best not to leave
his side.

On the other hand, the other women on the spot, including Moira and Cherry, also nodded their heads
in agreement.

"Boy, look around you! You are one lucky bastard! Take a look at all these women. They're ready to die
for you. I got to admit, you're making me jealous!" Bart teased with a gentle smile on his face.

"Who is he, master? I haven't seen him before." Sabina took a good look at Bart. Upon noticing that he
was a strapping spirit manipulator at the Immortal Stage, she couldn't help but ask.

"This is Mr. Bart from the Ximen Clan. He was once a famous genius spirit manipulator in the entire
Wild Spirit Land," Marcia introduced.

Sabina and the other women were shocked as soon as they heard who he was. Never did they expect
that they could meet such a big shot.

Not long after the introduction, Bart took out the slate he had taken out and handed it over to Rocky.

"But sir, this slate..." Rocky saw the slate and looked at Bart with surprised eyes.

"Take it. It's a gift. Time makes it inevitable that the rising generation is worthier than the former ones.
Keep this slate. You'll never know when it will become useful to you. Well, I guess it's time for me to



leave. I've been locked up in here for more than thirty years, and it's time for me to get out there and
see the world again. Oh, by the way, if you see Bryant, please tell him I said hi." After his voice trailed
off, he summoned his eight-star dragon beast, and flew up and away towards the sky.

Marcia stared at Bart's receding figure before she said to Rocky, "I didn't expect that someone as
famous as Mr. Bart would be imprisoned in the Heavenly Demon Clan for more than thirty years. I
mean, it's really unexpected. I'm just so glad that Mr. Bart helped us a lot this time!"

Rocky also nodded. If Bart hadn't saved Marcia for him, then it would have been difficult for Rocky to
save Marcia alone.

"Do you have any idea what this slate does or what it is for?" Marcia asked as she looked at the slate in
Rocky's hand.

"Look. There is a map, but it only shows half of it. I think it is leading us to a mysterious place," Rocky
remarked as he handed the slate over for Marcia to see.

Upon taking the slate, Marcia could not believe at what she saw.

"Is there something wrong?" Rocky asked as soon as he saw the strange look on Marcia's face.

"Just come with me. I'll explain." Marcia quickly grabbed Rocky's arm after hesitating for a while.

At that moment, Rocky already knew that Marcia was going to clarify things that had confused him
before, so he went to a remote place not far away with Marcia alone so as to give them more privacy.

"So, what is it you want to tell me?" Rocky asked right away.

Out of the blue, Marcia glanced at Rocky with meaningful eyes and proceeded to turn around to untie
her clothes.



"Hold up! What are you doing?" Rocky took a step back.

"Oh, please, it's not what you think. Do you still remember the pattern on my back?" Marcia said at
once with her back to Rocky. Her clothes slipped down, and in the blink of an eye, Rocky was looking
at a naked body in front of him.

Instantly, Rocky noticed the pattern on her back. Back then, he almost lost his life because of this same
pattern. But now, Marcia was showing it to him voluntarily, and this was obviously a big deal
considering his past experience with it.

Not long after, Rocky realized that the pattern on her back looked very familiar. Then, he widened his
eyes and said in surprise, "The pattern on your back seems to be opposite to the map on the slate.
Does this mean that the pattern on your back the other half of the map?"

"My father told me that he left something very important on me. Perhaps, he was talking about this
pattern. I never knew what this pattern was for. But as soon as I laid eyes on the slate, I knew it is half
a map. Half of this map was left by my grandfather. My father was afraid that it would be exposed, so
he imprinted it on me. He also told me all the time to protect it with all of my being and not let anyone
see it..." Marcia said, blinking her beautiful eyes.

"So, in that case, the place that the map is pointing to must be the Spirit Annihilation Land!" Rocky said
with a frown.

"Did you just say the Spirit Annihilation Land?" Marcia's face suddenly changed.

"Yes. That is the mysterious place where several forbidden items have been taken out," Rocky said
with confidence.

"Why did my father leave me half of the map that leads to the mysterious land?" Marcia asked in
bewilderment.



"He must have had a reason for doing so. Perhaps, he wanted to send all the forbidden items back
there. But maybe he also wanted you to lead humans to obtain the forbidden power and fight against
the spiritual race..." Rocky supposed.

"Well, I hope it's the latter reason," Marcia said with a slight hint of dismay in her voice.

"Why?" Rocky stared at Marcia for a while, waiting for her answer.

"I just think that in this way, we can help you fight against the spiritual race, and deal with the calamity
beasts..." Marcia answered after thinking for some time.

"The Spirit Annihilation Land is by no means a place that humans can easily explore. You'd better give
up this idea, unless you are ready to get hurt." Of course, Rocky would never want Marcia to take that
risk.

"You can try and discourage me, but I will find a way to fight against the spiritual race myself," Marcia
snorted.

Seeing Marcia's attitude, Rocky felt a little helpless. Needless to say, he had clearly underestimated the
stubbornness of the woman in front of him.

"Well, since you want to help me so much, then I will ask you to do something for me instead," after
hesitating for a while, Rocky implored.

"Okay, shoot!" Marcia replied without thinking twice.

"Listen to me closely. First off, you need to protect Isis, Nigel, Lena, and all the people whom may
Alston use as leverage to deal with me," Rocky ordered.

"Okay. Anyway, I will protect them with every fiber of my being," Marcia answered seriously.



"Second, you have to ensure the normal operation of the Genome Research Institute. Once Alston
takes control of the Holy Dragon Empire, he will surely destroy everything related to me. The Genome
Research Institute was built with my blood and sweat, and it is also an indispensable existence for
humans to fight against the spiritual race. With that being said, I hope you understand why I can't let
Alston destroy the institute."

Marcia nodded vigorously as she listened to Rocky's order.

"Third, you have to secretly unite all the countries and forces that want to resist the spiritual race and
form an alliance. Prior to that, our humanity assistance has won the hearts and support of many people
in many countries. You can use this to persuade them," Rocky added.

"Okay, I see. After I return, I will gather Chief Bryant, General Lance, and some other clans like the Ji
clan at once, then ask them to gather the troops of the three legions and the spirit manipulators of each
clan. Next, I will expand our forces based on this. This should be more convincing. Despite this, I'm
afraid it's not enough to fight against the spiritual race," stated Marcia
worriedly.
