CHAPTER 811 THE RIVER OF FORGETFULNESS
A few days later, the old turtle man had almost recovered from his injuries.
As Darren had fulfilled his promise to help, the old turtle man led him to the territory of the Water Kylin
Clan.
"Sir, did the first Kylin ancestor come from outer space?"
Darren asked as they flew. The journey was long, and with nothing else to do, Darren had gotten very
bored. A conversation seemed like the best way to pass the time.
"Well, according to the Kylin Clan, their first ancestor chanced upon this continent by accident. And
yes, their first ancestor was from outer space."
"Then he must have been very powerful! Who is stronger, he or the Fire Kylin?"
"Ha-ha, the Fire Kylin cannot compare to the first ancestor.
You know, in ancient times, there were numerous kinds of cultivation methods and many great masters.
The first ancestor of the Kylin Clan could be considered an unsurpassed master back then. He was
tens of thousands of times stronger than the Fire Kylin," the old turtle smiled as he explained to Darren.
"You are right." Darren nodded. After a brief pause, he said, "I wish I could go back to the ancient
times."
"From ancient times to the present, many geniuses have had the same thought as you. They have
dreamed of seeing the immense wisdom present in ancient times. However, time always moves
forward. We can't return to the past. But, there is one thing that I'm sure about. Strong warriors from
ancient times haven't completely disappeared in the torrent of history."
"What!" Darren exclaimed in surprise.
"Do you mean that great masters from ancient times still exist in this world? How could it be possible?"
Darren's eyes lit up at the prospect.
"Ha-ha." The old turtle man smiled when he saw Darren's excitement.
"Darren, do you know how long a holy emperor can live?" the old turtle man asked.
"Well... I'm not entirely sure. But, I guess no less than hundreds of thousands of years," Darren
speculated.
"No. They can live for millions of years, at least."
"That long? But, even if they could live for millions of years, they couldn't be alive today. The continent
has seen four great ages, and each period lasted for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of
years.
Moreover, people living in these ages have experienced times of great prosperity and catastrophes that
ended their era. At the end of each age, almost all the holy emperors died. They could not have
survived until now." Darren furrowed his brow as confusion coursed through him.
"I'm impressed that you are so familiar with our history.
What you don't know is that strong warriors found a way to continue their existence. They didn't
completely disappear. Time cannot be reversed, but they found a way to still the passage of time. If a
powerful warrior went through the time stand still, he might still be alive.
I once knew a senior holy warrior who had lived from the ancient times. However, he was chased by a
mysterious force once he woke. In the end, he escaped to outer space, but he hasn't yet returned," the
old turtle man said as if he recalled something.
"What?" Darren didn't know how to reply.
He knew that the old turtle man wouldn't make up a story as there was no need for him to lie.
"Sir, if what you said is true, how did they manage to still time? That sounds too incredible." Darren's
heart thumped wildly.
"I don't know either. But, I do remember is that the senior holy warrior had mentioned that they lurked in
the River of Forgetfulness and waited for the day that they could recover," the old turtle man explained.
"The River of Forgetfulness!"
The name seemed familiar to Darren. When he thought about it carefully, he remembered that the river
near the abandoned well where the witcher lived was called the River of Forgetfulness!
Darren didn't think that it was a coincidence that the names of the river were the same.
"What? You still don't believe me?" the old turtle man asked with a faint smile. He could understand
why young people would find it hard to believe.
"No, sir. I believe because I have seen the River of Forgetfulness! According to legend, a person would
forget everything after drinking the water from that river. Now I understand that that river is likely to be
formed by the Time Rule," Darren said as excitement coursed through him.
It was now the old turtle man's turn to be astonished.
"Have you really seen that river? Or have you just heard a legend about the river?"
"Yes, I have seen it. I have been to a place owned by a witcher with a river nearby," Darren explained.
"Witcher!" The old turtle man was stunned for a moment. Then relief reflected in his expression as he
spoke. "What you've said sounds right. That senior holy warrior also mentioned a witcher. But, I have
not yet understood what kind of existence is the 'witcher' in human beings."
"Well, let's put aside all this for now. The Water Kylin Clan territory is right in front of us. Let's sped up."
Darren and the old turtle man flew into a chaotic space.
Once in the chaos, Darren felt as if he had been through thousands of complicated passages. He even
felt as though space and time were in disorder.
After a long while, his head cleared.
"Darren, are you all right? The Water Kylin Clan has spent thousands of years building this space
passage. One experiences eight thousand and one hundred kinds of changes to reach the real domain
of the Kylin Clan. Each time the passage changes, the members of the Kylin Clan get information about
the people in the passage.
If an enemy intrudes, a strong force will immediately suppress him,"
the old turtle man explained when he saw Darren's pale face.
"Don't worry. I just feel a little dizzy."
Darren glanced in the distance. The earth was covered in gray color, and various kinds of fierce birds
and beasts ran in this world.
Soon, several black figures appeared before Darren and the old turtle.
"Welcome, sir. Who is your companion?"
the Kylin nearest to the old turtle man asked as he stared at Darren. At this critical moment of war with
the Fire Kylins, the Water Kylins had to be careful.
"This is Darren Chu, my distinguished guest."
"Darren! You are our prince's good buddy. Please forgive me for being rude."
Darren's eyebrows shot up when he realized that the "prince" they were talking about was the Water
Kylin.
"It's all right. I'm not offended. Can you take me to see your prince?"
"Mr. Turtle, Master Darren, please follow us!"
The Kylins leaped into the air as they requested Darren and the old turtle man to follow them. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
As they flew across the sky, their overwhelming aura made countless beasts below retreat with fear.
The grey world became even more active.
Darren and others stopped in front of a huge pale blue lake.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh.
In an instant, several figures flew over.
"Ha-ha, master! I felt your aura the second you arrived."
The Water Kylin looked extraordinarily powerful and brave now that he was dressed in armor.
"You bastard! How dare you sneak away? What if the Fire Kylin had captured you?" Darren flew
forward and knocked the Water Kylin on his head.
The Water Kylin rubbed his head, and said, "How can that idiot catch me? Master, you worry too much.
Ha-ha."
"I need you to be careful. He is not a good creature. If it weren't for the old turtle man's help, Finley and
I would have died at his hands."
"Never mind all this! Let's go. I'll take you to see my father. Oh, no! He's my grandfather... Alas! I have
always said this wrong," the Water Kylin said.
Darren rolled his eyes. He was astonished that the Water Kylin could not tell the difference between his
father and grandfather.
"Sir, please this way." The Water Kylin was no longer rude to the old turtle man. He greeted the old
turtle man with a warm, welcoming gesture.
Then they all flew toward the blue lake.
As soon as Darren and others jumped into the blue lake, many powerful figures rushed out.
"What happened?" the Water Kylin stopped them to ask.
"Your Highness, an extremely ferocious creature is trying to break into the passage. He is so strong
that our ancestor's power couldn't even suppress him," one Kylin answered.
"Could it be the Fire Kylin?"
"No, it's a monkey! A ferocious monkey."
Darren's expression changed when he heard their answer.
