Darren didn't know what he had absorbed into his body.
"It's not important. It's not harming me anyway so all should be well."
He decided not to waste time thinking about it anymore.
"What are you doing? How could you be so stupid to discard your former cultivation?" Lord Feng asked, walking up beside Darren.
"Uh..." Darren was stunned by the question, not sure what to say.
"It's not wise to do what you've done, Darren," Lord Starry Sword said flatly, making his way over as well.
"I haven't done anything," Darren said helplessly.
"Are you sure? Then where's your god's power and your former cultivation base?" Lord Feng questioned condescendingly, rolling his eyes at Darren.
"Well, I've sealed it away. Don't you think it was a good idea? Ha-ha! I mean, even you're unable to sense it," Darren said smiling. He seemed quite proud of himself.
"Sealed it?"
The Rule Soul Avatar found this incredible and flew over to join the commotion. How did Darren develop such a strange method? He had sealed his god's power so well that even the Rule Soul Avatar, Lord Feng and Lord Starry Sword couldn't detect it.
What was more, his physical strength had weakened. Just how well could he seal the god's power?
The Rule Soul Avatar felt that this was a difficult feat to accomplish.
"Nonsense! Do you think we seriously can't tell the difference between sealing your power and discarding your power? I don't even know what to say about you." Lord Feng was now so riled up that he almost wanted to beat Darren.
"I swear, I'm telling the truth. I sealed my god's power in the Blade and Sword God Character. I then absorbed the Archean energy into my body and refined it, changing the nature of my body..." Darren explained the whole process of his cultivation so they would come around.
The Rule Soul Avatar understood immediately. Lord Starry Sword got it as well. It was only Lord Feng who still did not believe him.
Darren shook his head when the three of them kept silent. He drew a little god's power from the Blade and Sword God Character and released it to them.
"Wow, it's actually your god's power. It's true then." Only now did Lord Feng finally believe.
"I was mistaken. It's a very good idea. This is very good," Lord Feng said marveling. Lord Starry Sword began to understand even better now. What Darren had done was equivalent to cultivating from scratch in the Archean world. With his talent, he had the potential to become incredibly powerful.
"You had me scared. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lord Feng let out a deep sigh of relief. "This method is indeed really something. Why don't we give it a go?"
Lord Feng began compressing his god's power as he spoke, pouring it into his God Character.
A moment later, he frowned. "No, I can't do it... Why can't my God Character fully contain my god's power? It just keeps leaking out. Darren, how did you do it?"
"It is simple. I just compressed it and sealed it in the God Character. Nothing more to it," revealed Darren.
"Lord Feng, my real body has the prototype of the Chief God Character. The capacity and control of the god's power are far beyond our own God Characters. It's almost impossible for us to seal the god's power as perfectly as he has done," explained the Rule Soul Avatar after thinking it over for a while.
Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng nodded calmly after a moment of silence. It was true that they were limited in this way and were unable to pull this off with their God Characters.
However, according to Darren's method, they could still improve the speed of their Archean Cultivation. That at least was an upside.
"We're here in this Archean world now, so we should go out there and have a look. We'll seal as much god's power as possible and cultivate for three months first, then we'll leave this one kilometer area," suggested Lord Feng.
"Alright, agreed."
Everyone nodded in agreement. They were all curious about this mysterious Archean world they found themselves in. They had to go out and explore it.
The four of them gathered again three months later.
They all compared their Archean cultivation base and discovered that the Rule Soul Avatar had improved the fastest and now had the strongest fighting power.
Darren was ranked second only to him.
"Your cultivation speed is much faster than Lord Starry Sword's and mine. That prototype of the Chief God Character is quite impressive," Lord Feng said with a smile, and a hint of harmless envy.
Even Lord Starry Sword couldn't help but smile faintly.
"Now that everyone's strength has increased, we should be able to manage the pressure on the outside. Let's go," Lord Starry Sword said.
The pressure outside was not a particularly powerful force, but a sort of repulsive power from heaven and earth. Now that they had all practiced the Archean Cultivation, they should be capable of adapting to the world fairly well. They would not suffer from the pressure anymore.
Darren and the others walked swiftly and were soon a kilometer away.
