Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1397
Several mountains could be seen surrounding the ratherrge ind, and odd flowers could be seen
growing all over the ce.
Regardless, the second Gerald saw the ind, he immediately knew what that ce was. It was
Warhill Ind, the ce 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 themunicator 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 M, the screen was now
disying the ce 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 Ind, the legendary ce 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 ind.
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 rtionship between you and that
statue, Z? Why does a statue of you even exist on the ind where the pledge of the holy water is
held?”
“Well, first off, you should know that the ind isn’t all that far from the king of the ocean’s pce. With
that in mind, both the ind and the statue worked together as a seal, preventing me from leaving the
king of the ocean’s pce back then!” replied Z rather casually as she looked at the statue of her.
“…I see. While we’re at it, what do you know about the pledge of the holy water…? ording to the
legends that I’ve heard, only those whose inner strengths have long entered the realm of legends are
invited to participate in it. However, I’ve always found it odd that they don’t invite those from cryptic
families—like the Gunters—over. Even if those from the Sun League have some sort of scheme in
mind, those from cryptic families would most definitely be more exceptional than the people they’ve
been inviting throughout the years!” asked Gerald.
“Gerald, I hope you understand that cryptic families aren’t considered orthodox. After all, they rely on
external forces to increase their training. Great masters, on the other hand, have true inner strength
and rely solely on their training to get to where they are. With that said, the degree of utilization of great
masters is much higherpared to those from cryptic families!” exined Z.
“Also, the reason it’s called the pledge of the holy water is because of the existence of a holy pool on
that ind. It’s one of the entrances into Jaetra!” added Z.
“An entrance into Jaetra you say? If that’s the case, then does that mean that the legend revolving
around drinking holy water—at the pledge—to attain immortality is actually achieved by gaining entry
into Jaetra? Then… does that mean that there’s a possibility that those who never returned from the
pledge of the holy water may not actually be dead and have simply been brought to Jaetra?” replied
Gerald, feeling enlightened.
“Indeed. Jaetra asionally recruits suitable new people in order to maintain its existence and
development. In fact, Leo’s one of the younger people who were recruited!” exined Z as she
turned to look at Leo.
“I see… I am curious though… How does Jaetra even exist…?” inquired Gerald.
“As I’ve said, Jaetra isn’t a particrly special ce. Not only is it a ce that can be found on Earth,
but those living there are just as human as we are. If you’re particrly nit-picky, then one of the more
major differences between our world and Jaetra is the fact that Jaetra is located within earth. In a
way, that means that to them, we’re living on the outeryer of earth!”
“While we’re on the topic, I’ll give you a bit of a history lesson on the ce. See, many destructive
incidents took ce 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 undergroundnd that theyter named Jaetra!”

“Following that, they got isted from the world for a very long time. Regardless, ording 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 Jaetra. Following that, the
inhabitants of Jaetra 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 simrly high levels of training!” exined Z.
Nodding slightly, Gerald then replied, “So… I’m guessing that’s the origin story of cryptic families?”
Smiling as she nodded in return, Z 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!”
