CHAPTER 1561 THE ARCHEAN AGE
Both Lord Feng and Lord Starry Sword suddenly felt bad.
Boom! Boom!
The coffin began to shake violently as the lid slowly opened. Blood red runes surged out of the coffin,
taking the shapes of bloodthirsty phantoms.
"Go!" Lord Feng and Lord Starry Sword both shouted as they prepared to fly off.
However, they had only traveled for less than ten feet when they were blocked by an invisible wall.
The blood red runes swarmed to where they were and covered them. Belonging to .
Suddenly, they were unable to move or make a sound. They could only feel what was going on around
them.
A huge force pulled them toward the blood coffin. In the blink of an eye, they were sucked into it.
"Darren? Are you in here?" Lord Starry Sword blurted out in surprise.
After stumbling through darkness for a while, Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng landed in an ancient
forest. As soon as they landed, they saw Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar sitting cross-legged on a
stone terrace a few feet away from them.
"So... This is the real relic from the Archean Age?" Lord Feng murmured, feeling the energy buzz
through the air.
"Maybe," Lord Starry Sword responded.
Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar opened their eyes at the same time.
The Rule Soul Avatar stood up first. "This is not a relic. This is a real world of Archean Age."
"What?"
Lord Feng exclaimed, raising his eyebrows in surprise.
"The Archean world has already been destroyed for trillions of years. How could it be the world of the
Archean Age?"
Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar flew over together and landed beside them.
"Hello, Lord Feng! Hello, Lord Starry Sword! According to my avatar, this is indeed the world of the
Archean Age. The blood coffin serves as its entrance," Darren explained.
Lord Feng and Lord Starry Sword were silent. They released their god's senses to probe their
surroundings.
After a while, they withdrew their god's senses. "It's indeed a little different from the relic, but it's very
likely that it's just a well-preserved relic. After all, if the Archean Age is indestructible, and there won't
be any future eras."
The laws of heaven and earth were different in every era. If the previous era hadn't collapsed, a new
era wouldn't have taken its place.
Countless years had passed since the Archean Age. It had already disappeared in the torrent of
history. It was absolutely impossible for the world of the Archean Age to exist now.
"Maybe this is the consciousness world that the extreme masters from the Archean Age made," Lord
Starry Sword said.
The consciousness world, as its name implied, was created from the masters' consciousness. It was
the same as the human land of the Primitive Wilderness where Darren had been. Everything seemed
to be real, but in fact, everything was just an illusion.
However, life and death were real even in the consciousness world. If one died in the consciousness
world, he would be dead in the real world, too.
Hearing what Lord Starry Sword said, the Rule Soul Avatar nodded in agreement. Such a scenario was
highly possible.
"Darren, we had better return to the Primitive Wilderness now. You can come here again when you're
strong enough," Lord Feng said.
Darren gave him a bitter smile but didn't say anything. He looked at the Rule Soul Avatar. "Avatar,
please explain our situation to the two masters."
The Rule Soul Avatar cleared his throat. "With our current abilities, we're stuck here. Besides, it is not
good for Darren to go out now."
"Why? Where is the one who has communicated with Supreme God Shipley? Can't you ask him for
help?" Lord Feng asked, visibly confused.
"It's very complicated," the Rule Soul Avatar replied, breathing out slowly. "The one who communicated
with Supreme God Shipley is just a spiritual sense of an ancient witcher. He is not a real being. If we
want to go out, we will have to wait for my Time Law to get better. Moreover, the defiant mark on
Darren's body has changed. If I'm correct, the chief gods will detect him once he leaves this place."
"What? If you two can't get out,
then why are we here?"
"Uh..." Darren chuckled, a little embarrassed. "I asked my avatar to open the blood coffin and invite you
in by communicating with the last wisp of law.
Before the ancient witcher's spiritual sense dissipated, the Rule Soul Avatar took it. Originally, we
wanted to get out. However, we realized that this spiritual sense was only good for bringing people
here. You two happened to be outside, which is why I told him to let you in."
"Well... Heath and a group of ascetic cultivators have returned to the human land. They should be able
to resist the alien creatures. Maybe it is God's will that we come here. Who knows? We might even be
able to get a great harvest. We should just stay here," said Lord Feng.
"Let's take a look around."
With a wave of his sleeve, Lord Starry Sword walked away.
"It seems that we can't go very far. The area we can move in is very limited," Darren said. Darren and
the Rule Soul Avatar had already tried to go around once before. This ancient forest was very special.
They could only move one kilometer around in the forest. The laws and rules of the Archean Age made
it very difficult for them to go beyond that.
Whoosh!
Lord Starry Sword suddenly flew out.
In the blink of an eye, he flew to the place about one kilometer away from where he had been standing.
Boom! Boom!
Countless Archean forces suddenly pressed down on his body, causing him to plummet to the ground.
A cold light flashed through Lord Starry Sword's eyes. He subconsciously released his god's power to
resist the pressure.
However, he found that all the laws of heaven and earth that had been condensed into his sword intent
had disappeared.
"I see. If heaven and earth have changed, the laws could not possibly exist."
Lord Starry Sword returned to them, recovering his cultivation base only when he was within the
acceptable range.
This was the reason why the Rule Soul Avatar had guessed that this was the real world of the Archean
Age.
After returning to Darren's side, Lord Starry Sword thought for a moment. "I think it will be easy to get
out of this area. You can just assimilate the Archean energy into your body and practice the Archean
Cultivation."
"Yes, I think so too," Lord Feng agreed, nodding.
"I don't know whether or not it's difficult. After all, we are not the creatures of the Archean Age," said
Darren.
"A true genius is not limited by time," Lord Feng said, smiling. "Darren, why don't we have a little
competition to see who will master the Archean Cultivation first?" He was actually looking forward to
cultivating the Archean Cultivation.
"Okay!"
Darren's eyes lit up. In those moments, Darren, Lord Starry Sword, Lord Feng and the Rule Soul
Avatar were all on the same level. This was their chance to see who was the most talented. The
competition would be very interesting, indeed.
"Well, let's each find a place to cultivate and meet each other in ten days. Is that okay?" asked Darren.
"Okay." Lord Feng agreed. Lord Starry Sword and the Rule Soul Avatar nodded silently.
Then, the four of them split up to find their own places to cultivate the Archean Cultivation. Of course,
they still couldn't leave the one kilometer range. Therefore, they made a deal that they couldn't use
their god's senses to detect how each other's cultivation was going. This was to ensure that the
competition would be fair.
Darren sat under a big stone and began to think about how to cultivate the Archean Cultivation.
The method was actually simple. Once a cultivator assimilated the energy in this Archean world and
refined his body, he would be able to adapt to the aura of the Archean Age.
It seemed easy enough. In fact, it seemed too easy. If Darren had been able to come up with it so
easily, he was sure that the other three would have thought about it, too.
'I have to think of using an unusual method, or I will definitely not be able to compete with them,' he
thought.
Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng were both gifted. If Darren didn't rely on his Assimilating God
Character, he would be much weaker than them. The Rule Soul Avatar also had the extremely powerful
analyzing skill. Darren simply could not compare to him.
Darren felt that he needed to find a new way to compete with them.
'How about I quit my previous cultivation and restart my cultivation?' Darren thought. Suddenly, this
idea flashed through Darren's mind.
This was the most unique way he could think of.
However, the idea was fleeting. It would be impossible for him to do so. After all, he would return to the
Primitive Wilderness sooner or later.
"Seal! Just do it!"
Darren finally made a decision. He wanted to seal up his god's power of the Primitive Wilderness first,
then cultivate the Archean Cultivation.
