Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1265

"It's your turn." The Reincarnation Emperor stared at the Rule Soul Avatar sternly, as if he would break all his bones if the avatar dared to back out.

"I, Darren Chu, swear allegiance to Lord Yama for the rest of my life..." The Rule Soul Avatar activated his soul power as he made this vow.

In this world, even the deputy gods could not defy the Oath Law. There was also another law, the Balance Law that even the chief gods couldn't resist. These two laws were the most special among all. It was not until the Rule Soul Avatar took his oath that the Reincarnation Emperor gave a smile of relief.

But there were always loopholes. The Rule Soul Avatar had already comprehended the Oath Rule when he was on the Lothlann Continent, so he was fully capable of going past its limits. Even now that he'd come to the Primitive Wilderness, the Oath Law still didn't work on him.

What was more, even if the Rule Soul Avatar was restricted by the Oath Law, he still had ways to avoid it, and that was to use the Time Law.

Despite the fact that he only had three law silk threads, it was already enough to disturb time at that exact moment when he made the vow, thus voiding its effects.

So he swore allegiance to Yama without any hesitation.

In this way, he not only saved his and Jenifer's lives, but he also reaped the benefits—which was exactly the best case scenario he was anticipating.

After the Rule Soul Avatar took his oath, the Reincarnation Emperor sensed through his consciousness that the oath had indeed been forged successfully.

"Good. Now, you stay with me for the time being. Once you've grown stronger, Lord Yama will naturally summon you to assist him when need be."

The Rule Soul Avatar held a poker face in reply. After a moment of silence, he said, "Please release all the humans in the prison."

"What?" The Reincarnation Emperor's face swiftly darkened as he said, "It's impossible. Given that you've just joined Yama's Prefecture, there are things that you still don't understand yet. I don't blame you for what you asked for just now, so I'll let it pass. But I have to remind you to mind your own business and don't ask for anything like that ever again. Otherwise, Lord Yama will kill you without any hesitation. Moreover, even if Lord Yama doesn't kill you himself, I'll gladly do it for him. Do you understand?"

In response, the Rule Soul Avatar stood there coldly, without any response.

The Reincarnation Emperor gave him a ferocious look, and then turned around with a wave of his sleeve. As he walked forward, he said, "Arrange a palace for him. Everything has to be decided after Lord Yama gives the order."

"Understood, sir," responded several prison guards in unison.

The Rule Soul Avatar took Jenifer and Briggs to an imperial palace.

"Darren, you're crazy! You're nuts!"

Jenifer could not hold it in anymore and shouted out her anxieties onto Darren.

"Stop." The Rule Soul Avatar gave her a hint not to speak and said through his spiritual sense, "I am not bound by the oath."

"What? You're not making sense!"

Hearing this, Jenifer was stunned. How could there be anyone in the world who was not restricted by the oath they had taken?

"Are you kidding me?" Jenifer couldn't believe her ears.

The Rule Soul Avatar shook his head slightly and said, "Trust me, I would never lie to you."

Hearing this, Jenifer was utterly dumbfounded. Suddenly, she felt a happy feeling bubble up from within her. Her face quickly turned red. What kind of emotion was he trying to express? 'He must have meant something else behind his words, ' she thought.

"Well, I believe you. I always believe whatever you say no matter what happens," Jenifer replied, smiling broadly.

After they had stayed in the palace for three days, the Divine Essence Stones that the Reincarnation Emperor had promised had arrived.

"Sir, please kindly check this."

The one thousand and five hundred kilograms of Divine Essence Stones were delivered right in front of the Rule Soul Avatar.

He quietly accepted the Divine Essence Stones without uttering a word. The soldier kept his knees on the ground out of respect and dared not raise his head.

"You may leave," Jenifer instructed after a long moment.

"Darren, you are a rule cultivator. What's the use of the Divine Essence to you?" asked Jenifer curiously.

In fact, although the Divine Essence Stones were very valuable to martial artists, they were nearly useless to rule cultivators.

"I told you, my Eyes of Law need to evolve."

"Oh, I get it! Your silvery eyes need the Divine Essence to evolve, right?"

"That is correct. I will cultivate in seclusion. It won't be more than a month. Take care of yourself." Although his voice was stoic, it was the first time for him to show any care towards someone other than his real body.
