Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

The giant ice bird hesitated for a second when it heard the sweet voice, hovering in the air uncertainly. When it finally started moving, it turned away from Rocky as if it forgot that he existed, did a quick one-eighty-degree turn, and then flew deeper into the ice forest. Its deafening screech could still be heard, even as it disappeared from sight.

Rocky breathed a sigh of relief, and felt the restraints on his body loosen up. Still, he didn't let his guard down. He determined that the colossal ice bird was the source of the screams outside, which made a shiver crawl through his spine. Its aura was even stronger than that of the strongest ancient demonic beast!

Therefore, at that moment, Rocky was also amazed and curious. He could not help but wonder where that enormous ice bird came from and why it lived in this strange place.

Soon, however, Rocky heard the sweet voice that had stopped the ice bird from attacking him. As his head swiveled towards the direction of the voice, he saw a beautiful, mysterious woman standing in an ice pavilion beside the ice forest. She looked weak and fragile like a thin reed that could easily be blown away by the wind.

Seeing this, Rocky couldn't help but come closer, as he was afraid that the woman needed help. He arrived at the ice pavilion and found that, on a closer look, the mysterious woman looked like an angel that had just fallen to the mortal world, with an extraordinary aura all over her body. Her beautiful face was clear and pale, bare of any makeup. It was like her skin had been condensed from the purest water. Her every movement spoke of a graceful charm, irresistible and ready to capture anyone's attention.

However, what shocked Rocky most was not the woman's beauty. As he studied her face, he could swear that she looked so familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere else.

Soon, Rocky remembered the twelve statues he had seen in the Heavenly God Temple. The woman in front of him looked exactly like one of the twelve statues, so he began to suspect that she was the real body of one of them.

The Heavenly God Temple had already existed since the beginning of the spiritual race. If the woman were the real body of one of those

ealized a more shocking problem. This woman just said that he looked exactly like Divine King Belial, and she was one of the twelve human statues. If his speculations were accurate, then the one among the twelve human statues he had seen in the Heavenly God Temple who looked exactly like him would be Divine King Belial.

So Divine King Belial was also one of the twelve statues.

"Why do you possess the power of Belial? Did he send you here for me? But why didn't he come here himself?" The mysterious woman peppered him with so many questions like a dissatisfied housewife that Rocky didn't know which to answer first.

"I do have the power of Divine King Belial, but he didn't send me to find you," Rocky explained.

"Where is he? He told me that he would come here to keep me company after everything was settled? Did he go back on his word?" The woman's face darkened, and Rocky knew he had to pull himself together, or the situation could become worse. He didn't want to fight this woman!

"If you want to know where he is, I need you to answer some of my questions first," Rocky suggested with a frown.

The woman seemed eager to know the whereabouts of Divine King Belial, so she answered without hesitation, "What do you want to know?"

"How did all the beings buried in the Myriad Spirit Tomb die? And who are the twelve statues in the Heavenly God Temple? Besides you and Divine King Belial, who are the ten other figures?" Rocky asked straightforwardly.
