Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1877 High Above In The Sky

As they flew high above the sky, clouds floated among them, and they could see the sun shining brightly.

While Rocky and Layla rode behind Rubygon, they looked down at the territory of the Shura Race. Compared to the outskirts of the Ghostly Demon Land, the land beneath them looked so barren and should not be suitable for living. Just thinking that the Shura Race was dwelling in it disappointed them.

"When my mother was the queen who ruled the Shura Race, there were still many beautiful places that could be found in our territory. But look at this. After the current royal family took over, these places were occupied by demons, turning everything into hellish ruins..." Layla heaved a deep sigh, letting out her frustrations.

"Well, in my opinion, the Shura Race deserves this. In the end, they only have themselves to blame for everything that happened. It is said that the Shura Race used to be a powerful race that worshipped deities. But later on, they became greedy and began cultivating evil skills. Now, the fate of the whole race was drastically changed.” Rocky had a general understanding of the history of the Shura Race after learning some parts of it from Corey's memory. Therefore, he knew that this cruel fate was actually brought by the members of the Shura Race themselves.

"Although the words you said were unpleasant to hear, I cannot deny the truth behind them. I heard from my mother that the Shura Race has really fallen so low, but she did not talk about every specific detail. For the Shura Race, that period of history is very dark, and it cannot just be revealed to others. Otherwise, when ordinary citizens know about it, the royal family might lose the people's trust. They will be publicly humiliated and have no dignity left,” Layla responded in a gloomy tone. "Your Royal Highness, I have a question for you. If you can give me a satisfactory answer, I will help you fulfill your greatest wish..." Rocky proposed out of nowhere.

"Really? You have already made up your mind? You know that you don't have to support any of the candidates, right? You can become the king yourself since you already have the Purgatorial Tripod. Moreover, you are a Godly Genius, you possess incredible strength, and you even have the divine weapon that sealed Phillip's soul. You can easily establish your position as the king of the Shura Race, and I highly doubt that anyone will dare oppose you." Of course, Layla could not help but have some misgivings. She thought that Rocky might even be more qualified or capable of taking the role than her. However, this was not what Rocky wanted.

"To be perfectly honest, I am not the least interested in becoming the king. I have more important things to do, so I'm afraid I can never commit to this role. Besides, I believe that you will inherit your mother's will and become a good ruler that the Shura Race needs.” From the beginning, Rocky already felt that Layla had what it took to change the Shura Race and even the entire Shura Continent. Hence, right now, all he needed to do was ensure that she could inherit the throne. After that, he could make Layla listen to whatever he wished.

"Okay then. I am just overwhelmed after hearing you say that you will fully support me. Anyway, I promise that I won't let you down!" Layla declared resolutely.

"But of course, we are still not a hundred percent sure that you can successfully become the next ruler even though I have the tripod with me,” Rocky uttered, changing the subject all of a sudden. Because of Enoch’s collusion with the demonic race, a great uproar would surely be created within the royal family. It would not be farfetched if he suddenly rebelled and divided the Shura Race just so he could protect himself. If that happened, there was a huge chance that the appointment of the next ruler would be delayed. Hence, for the time being, they needed to return to the royal family before it was too late.

A day later, they finally arrived in their destination. As Rubygon landed, it emitted an aura that instantly caused a commotion in the city. Since it was a powerful demonic beast, people panicked and thought that a monster had invaded.

Soon enough, some of the Spiritual Emperors of the royal family rushed out with some guards and surrounded Rubygon.

On the other hand, Rubygon had its typical bad temper. Upon seeing that it was being besieged, it immediately let out a domineering roar, instantly scaring the guards. They could not help but tremble and some even fell to the ground.

At the same time, the Spiritual Emperors broke into a cold sweat, wondering where the overbearing diabolic beast came from.

But the next moment, two figures flew down, shocking the guards and Spiritual Emperors present. Seeing the faces of the two familiar figures, a Spiritual Emperor could just stammer in surprise, "P- princess Layla? It is indeed you! We're glad that you're finally back!" The Spiritual Emperor on the lead eventually regained his composure and greeted respectfully upon confirming that it was Princess Layla.
