Chapter 1404 The Weird Disappearances

Already presumed dead, Rocky made a very unpredictable entrance as he tamed the Demonic
Thunder Tiger in the Holy Dragon Empire. Just a few days after he and Glutton left the area, the
remaining calamity beasts that attacked the Wild Spirit Land vanished all too sudden overnight. As a
result, the peace in the land was restored. Everyone could not help but feel miserable upon seeing the
havoc that was left by these creatures. Left and right, destruction met everyone's eyes, leaving them in
despair.

On the other hand, no one knew why these beasts suddenly disappeared. However, what concerned
them more was where these creatures were heading next. Also, what scared them most was whether
these creatures would come back again and cause destruction to their place. With that being said,
everyone was on guard as they thought ahead of ways on how to resist them should these creatures
return.

On the brighter side, the calamity beasts seemed to have vanished without a trace. This made the
other humans and members of the spiritual race hopeful that somehow, they might never really come
back.

At that time, only a few of them knew the whole truth. Despite this, they still opted not to tell the public
what really happened. All they knew was that Rocky was the one responsible for taming and scaring
away the calamity beasts. However, Rocky and Glutton also left them without a trace.

Of course, Marcia, along with those close to Rocky, were very eager to find out where he had gone. But
knowing him, they had also accepted the fact that he might never come back again. As far as they
were concerned, it was enough for them to know that he was still alive somewhere.

Not long after the disappearance of the calamity beasts, the alliance of the three major empires—the
Holy Dragon Empire, the Timber Deity Empire, and the Magic Phoenix Empire—began to clear up the
chaos left by the destruction. During this series of disasters, hundreds of millions of humans and



members of the spiritual race had lost their lives. This had put the entire Wild Spirit Land into their
darkest time after the establishment of the alliance of the major empires.

Things weren't looking good for most of the clans of the spiritual race. In fact, they had put a lot of their
efforts and power into warfare, making them suffer heavy casualties. Moreover, the spiritual race's
ability to reproduce was very weak, making things worse for them. Without a doubt, they had entered
the most difficult period of their decline as they were on the brink of extinction.

But just when everyone thought that the darkest of their days had just gone and that the Wild Spirit
Land could now recover from the damages, a series of unexpected events happened in the Gehanna
Border, where the three major empires were bordered. There, rumors went around that humans and
their livestock kept on disappearing and that even some villages vanished overnight!

From the moment the three major empires formed an alliance, the Gehanna Border had become a
major trade channel for businessmen from all the other empires. No longer was it in the middle of
raging war all year long. Due to its vast land area, diabolic beasts were often seen there. As a result,
the three empires sent armies to guard the order of their border and protect the smooth flow of
transactions in business trade.

Thus, it was, of course, unthinkable that something this strange to happen in such a peaceful and
orderly place. Moreover, the three empires were at peace with each other, and it was completely out of
the ordinary for people and livestock to start disappearing out of the blue for no apparent reason.

Meanwhile, the three empires continued with their task of reconstructing and rehabilitating the Wild
Spirit Land. The disappearances kept on happening, but it was not enough to catch the empires'
attention. But after half a month, news reached them that an army of a thousand soldiers of the Holy
Dragon Empire stationed at the Gehanna Border suddenly vanished overnight, just like the former
disappearances, without a trace. Of course, this was something that the three major empires would not
take lightly.



On the other hand, the new Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group, Sabina, immediately
got to look into it after she got the news. Without wasting time, she sent a team to investigate the
situation out of fear that it might have something to do with the calamity beasts. Led by three squads of
spirit manipulators, the team went to the place where the soldiers were said to have disappeared. To
everyone's surprise, several days after, the investigation team eventually also lost contact, and their
whereabouts were unknown.

With her new position in the Crimson Dragon Group, Sabina dared not to take the situation lightly. Right
away, she reported to Marcia, the imperial preceptor of the Holy Dragon Empire.

Upon receiving the news from Sabina, Marcia could not help but worry that this might be the calamity
beasts' doing. Immediately, she contacted the Timber Deity Empire and the Magic Phoenix Empire to
ask if they had experienced the same thing. To her surprise, the two other empires both confirmed that
this also happened to them.

Cautious, Marcia personally went to the Gehanna Border to investigate the matter first-hand, along with
the assistance of special envoys from the two empires.

As soon as she set foot at the Gehenna Border, she immediately formed a strong team made of spirit
manipulators and created an investigation team with the envoys of the other two empires. Soon after,
Marcia's team wasted no time and began to carry out an in-depth investigation. After several days of
careful probing, they finally found some clues. Moreover, they found a mysterious area within the
Gehenna Border that had never been explored before.

What was most surprising at all was to find that this mysterious area was not even recorded on all the
maps of the Wild Spirit Land from ancient to present, as if it had appeared out of nowhere.

In order to find out the truth, Marcia led her team into this mysterious area. When they got there, she
did not expect to find an extremely huge magnificent door-shaped building in the depths of this



mysterious area. In addition, there was a vortex-like light ball that constantly flashed in the middle,
which looked like the core of the entire building.

At that point, Marcia found it hard to predict if there was impending danger. And for the sake of the
team's safety, she ordered her team to be on standby.

"Preceptor Marcia, should we send a team to investigate it beforehand?" Sabina, who was also a
member of the team, immediately questioned.

"No, stay here with the team. I'll investigate on my own." Not long after, Marcia waved her hand. At that
moment, she could feel that the door-shaped building was a bit more complex than she thought, so she
didn't want the investigation team to take the risk.

"Really? By yourself? No way! It's too dangerous!" Sabina shook her head hastily as she discouraged
Marcia.

"Yes, exactly. I don't want to endanger the rest of you, so it's better for me to go there alone. If I
encounter any danger, I can surely escape unscathed!" Marcia replied calmly.

"I'm not so sure about that. At least let me accompany..." Sabina proposed with a frown. As the imperial
preceptor of the Holy Dragon Empire, Marcia was completely indispensable. After all, the emperor who
had just taken over the throne was still young and needed Marcia the most. Therefore, of course, she
would not let Marcia take the risk alone.

"We don't know a single thing about this area, so that leaves us with high risk. There might be danger
at any time, so I need you to stay here and command the team. If I don't come back in three days,
immediately leave with the investigation team, and then report the situation to all empires to seek for
countermeasures," Marcia urged before instantly turning into a spiritual shadow and headed for the
door-shaped building.



At that point, Sabina realized that she could not do anything more to stop Marcia. She shook her head
helplessly and asked the army to stay put.

At the same time, in the Divine Land just opposite the Wild Spirit Land, Rocky was walking out of the
ruins of the Star Divine Race.

All of a sudden, a golden light appeared in the air and then stopped in front of him like a
projection.
