Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1529

Hope had now risen anew for everyone.

It turned out there was not only a supreme god in the human race, there was also a super master who was about to be the seventh supreme god—Heath, as well as a lot of tomb keeping ascetic cultivators. With this in mind, it didn't seem impossible for the human race to survive the challenges they were about to face.

But this was all reliant on Supreme God Shipley returning.

Heath fell silent after hearing the calls for Shipley.

The ancestor raised his old eyes and looked out at the crowd. He then shook his head solemnly. "Heath and I don't know where Shipley is either."

From the moment Shipley became a supreme god, he was made a firm target of the nine chief gods and faced an unending pursuit. If he hadn't hidden and escaped, he would definitely have been suppressed and killed. He most certainly could not disclose his whereabouts to any creature, or his place of refuge would be compromised. After all, the chief gods' tracking ability could not be underestimated.

It then seemed that the unknown supreme god would not be able to take a leading role in the charge through the human race's crisis.

The human race had to depend on Heath and the tomb keeping ascetic cultivators. They were their last hope.

"Let's talk about Darren." Heath spoke up. He made no mention of anything else. Darren's problem was of utmost importance at present.

Truthfully, Heath had always thought the human race should give Darren up. It was only since the ancestor said he was willing to give Darren a chance and would not make a decision concerning his life until he was about to rise to the Superior God Realm that Heath was left with no choice but to keep him alive.

However, the ancestor had not expected Darren to one day enter the abyss and have his life be out of the control of the human race.

Things were now somewhat problematic. Even the senior leaders of the witcher race were on Darren's side, trying to help him break through the tribulations he would face.

Darren breaking through would mean the crisis for the human race was imminent and they had no choice but to help him resist it.

"Hmmm, that guy is a troublemaker for sure. Does he not have a brain or a conscience? How could he be unwilling to sacrifice his own life for the sake of the human race? How can he force the entire human race to go down with him? Why did we even spare the life of such a selfish thing like him? We should have let him die when we had the chance," someone shouted angrily. He was clearly upset by having to assist Darren.

"You're wrong about him. You've not thought this all the way through,"

a powerful tomb keeping ascetic cultivator with an iron chain stood out and said.

"Yes, Darren caused this disaster. But don't forget that this disaster would befall the human race sooner or later. It was only a matter of time. Delaying it over and over again means nothing, and eventually it will come for us. Darren was a mere catalyst," explained the tomb keeper.

"That's right. We need someone stronger than a supreme god. It seems that Darren and his avatar are likely to be our best candidates. I think it's worth a try," added another tomb keeper.

"That all sounds reasonable enough, but the price is too high. Think about it. If the human race was given more time, perhaps Heath would become a supreme god and we won't have to be so passive anymore. At least then we'd have some sort of defensive power," someone responded in objection.

"Hmm."

Many ascetic cultivators who kept the tombs shook their heads in silence.

They felt these people were thinking too narrowly. The human race wasn't something that just one supreme god could protect and support. Even two or three wouldn't be able to carry or bring it back to power. They could at most fight for a sliver of a chance at survival for the human race and maybe allow for the bloodline to pass down.

"You know nothing. I will say that being detected by the chief gods does not mean the end for us. We will still have a chance to fight back.

They might not necessarily be able to kill all the powerful warriors of the human race, unless the chief gods make our world their primary target and their real bodies descend," said a tomb keeper.

"Heath, we have no other option available to us. Should we take this opportunity to confront the chief gods head on?"

"No matter what decision you come to, Heath, I will go to help Darren," said one of the black-robed ascetic cultivators straightforwardly, not hiding any intentions. He stretched out his strong right arm, slapped his palm to his collarbone and forcibly removed the iron chain inserted into it.
