The poison was not fatal to the Twelve Great Witchers. However, the fact that a human easily mastered the power of the witchcraft cultivation sent a huge blow to their minds.
"You will achieve more in the future than he will."
The Twelve Great Witchers reached such a conclusion. They had only begun to recover from their shock.
The one they were talking about was the master in the Immortal Land, who also possessed a pair of silvery eyes.
He had existed for tens of thousands of years longer than the Rule Soul Avatar had, and the level of his rule cultivation was much higher than that of the Rule Soul Avatar's. However, the Rule Soul Avatar's potential surpassed his. This was the only thing that set the Rule Soul Avatar apart from him.
The Rule Soul Avatar had been able to obtain the elusive Time Law. This alone was testament to his massive potential.
After all, the Time Law was something that even the chief gods couldn't get close to.
Now, the Rule Soul Avatar was not only able to approach the Time Law, but he had also mastered the laws of witchcraft cultivation.
Mastering the laws of witchcraft cultivation meant that the human in front of them possessed such great power to get into that place. Where there was full of danger and opportunities, and that was why the Great Witchers were shocked.
"Why don't you surrender to me?" asked the Rule Soul Avatar. His voice was cold.
The Twelve Great Witchers were completely speechless.
Immediately, the Great Witchers' leader shook his head slightly. "You are wrong. We are not subordinates to anyone, nor will we submit to anyone."
Darren was confused. "Then why did you help him capture my avatar?"
"It's not that hard to guess. Humans need a supreme god. His cultivation base is much higher than that of Xavier's, and he is closer to the stature of a supreme god. Our purpose is clear. We need to give him Xavier's eyes, which would make him infinitely stronger. It would be better to do this than just let Xavier die with you!"
This was the reason why the Great Witchers wanted to take the Rule Soul Avatar with them.
They thought that if the master in the Immortal Land had Xavier's silvery eyes, he would become a supreme god. It would be very soon for him to be one.
The human race had already been hiding for many years. One day, their hiding places would be exposed, and they would be detected by the chief gods and other powerful races.
If they did not have a supreme god by that time, their entire race would be wiped out. Not a single member of the human race would be left behind.
Hearing the Great Witchers' explanation, Darren fell silent.
"What is your plan now?" asked the Rule Soul Avatar.
"We have no idea." The Great Witchers shook their heads. For the first time in their lives, they were confused. They did not know what to do.
The Rule Soul Avatar was much more capable than the master. It would be a waste for them to take his silvery eyes and leave him with nothing.
The Great Witchers thought that if Xavier and the master stepped into the Supreme God Realm at the same time, Xavier would come out as the stronger one. Xavier might even have the ability to kill him once they got to the Supreme God Realm.
This was what set them apart from one another.
Supreme gods had varying levels of strength.
They had to make a choice. Who did they want as the next supreme god—Xavier or the master? The question boggled their minds.
"Can't my avatar and the master exist at the same time?" Darren asked, his gaze steely.
"No, they can't." This was impossible. The Great Witchers began to explain why. "You're supposed to be enemies. One day, the two pairs of silvery eyes will unite and merge into one. Only the one who has the complete set of silvery eyes will have the ability to create miracles. This is the way. We don't know why it has to be so."
They paused for a moment, staring at Darren's face. "Darren, you are now in danger of death. Your chances for survival are slim. Nobody wants you or your avatar to die, but we need the silvery eyes.
If Xavier dies while the eyes are still with him, it will be a devastating loss for the entirety of mankind." The Great Witchers looked at Darren and Xavier, their faces grim.
