Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1397

Several mountains could be seen surrounding the rather large island, and odd flowers could be seen growing all over the place.

Regardless, the second Gerald saw the island, he immediately knew what that place was. It was Warhill Island, the place where the pledge of the holy water was being held!

‘By this point, I’m sure grandpa and the others have long arrived there…’

Whatever the case was, Gerald now had a rough idea on how to use the Mackusion. Essentially, after communicating with it through one’s soul, everything that the communicator thought, missed, or was confused about would instantly reveal themselves on the screen, one after another.

He got to that conclusion since after witnessing what had happened to Mila, the screen was now displaying the place where his grandpa had gone to in order to participate in the pledge of the holy water.

As for why Gerald barely had any doubts that this was Warhill Island, the legendary place where the pledge of the holy water was held, it was because he had seen the upturned—but still dazzling—statue of Angelica as the screen panned closer to the island.

However, Gerald soon realized that even after some time had passed, the screen hadn’t revealed a single person!

‘…Could it be that grandpa and the others have yet to arrive there…?’ wondered Gerald, bewildered.

Pondering about it for a second, Gerald momentarily shook the thought off before pointing at Angelica’s fallen statue and asking, “Speaking of which, what exactly is the relationship between you and that statue, Zyla? Why does a statue of you even exist on the island where the pledge of the holy water is held?”

“Well, first off, you should know that the island isn’t all that far from the king of the ocean’s palace. With that in mind, both the island and the statue worked together as a seal, preventing me from leaving the king of the ocean’s palace back then!” replied Zyla rather casually as she looked at the statue of her.

“While we’re on the topic, I’ll give you a bit of a history lesson on the place. See, many destructive incidents took place between heaven and earth thousands of years ago. Due to all the chaos, numerous civilizations slowly met their end, and the Shunzuog Civilization was no exception to that. With the eventual downfall of the Shunzuog Civilization, several of the civilization’s valuable treasures and its best features ended up disappearing for good. The Shunzuog Civilization truly was at the final phase of the great civilization of antiquity… Thankfully, it was around then when those from that generation discovered a new path that led to an underground land that they later named Jaellatra!”

“Following that, they got isolated from the world for a very long time. Regardless, according to legends, no humans appeared on the surface of the Earth for the longest time after that. In fact, the only living things on earth at the time were a few rare animals—from the Shunzuog Civilization—who managed to survive the catastrophes!”

“Of course, humans slowly reappeared on the surface of the earth again after a very long time, and when that happened, they eventually got into contact with those living in Jaellatra. Following that, the inhabitants of Jaellatra sometimes lent a hand to those training themselves to attain spiritual enlightenment. While they didn’t have Dehlere Foundations within their bodies, they were able to make use of external forces, allowing them to attain similarly high levels of training!” explained Zyla.

Nodding slightly, Gerald then replied, “So… I’m guessing that’s the origin story of cryptic families?”

Smiling as she nodded in return, Zyla then said, “Indeed. Quite honestly, the Judgment Portal group is comparable to a dormant pawn that the King of Judgment Portal prepared ages ago. He’s been waiting for you to appear for a good, long time now!”
