Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 1497

Everything had been part of Braxton's and Alfredo's plans.

"Why did they choose me? Me of all people..." murmured Darren with a frown.

A supreme god and a peerless Defiant Master had both chosen him and left their most powerful and prized artifacts to him.

Why had they done that? To what end? No one knew the answer to that.

"Darren, he is coming." The Rule Soul Avatar could sense that the man from the Immortal Land with silvery eyes was already very close to the cemetery.

"Let's get the passage open."

Darren activated his three God Characters, while the Rule Soul Avatar activated his silvery eyes, carefully opening the passage to the Source of Laws.

They appeared before Supreme God Braxton's tomb. Both space and time were distorted here.

In front of Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar, appeared a dark passage, too dark to see what lay on the other side of it.

"Let's go!"

They both flew into the passage, not wasting any time.

The immense pressure in the passage made Darren feel as though he was about to explode.

But with the Rule Soul Avatar's support, he recovered a little and was able to continue on.

The two of them quickly passed through the black distorted space. A long while later they finally landed on some solid ground.

"This is the Gottron Abyss," the Rule Soul Avatar announced as they both swiveled their heads around, taking it all in.

This dark world was a large mass of black ridges, with a freezing wind whipping and piercing into them like icicles on their skin. It was empty for the most part, but there seemed to be countless undead creatures crying off in the distance, their voices lingering in Darren's ears.

Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar eventually lost their sense of direction in this strange and gloomy world.

The abyss was too vast. How were they to know where to start their search?

"By the way, how did you manage to persuade Aunt Yolanda to allow me to go into the abyss? Is it anything to do with my tribulation when I break through to the Superior God Realm?" asked Darren curiously.

"Yes, I figured that if you break through in the abyss, it will reduce the impact of the tribulation on the human race to a minimum," answered the Rule Soul Avatar.

"Really? How do you mean?" Darren asked, not entirely understanding how that would work.

"This abyss is the hometown of a chief god, and has thus been guarded by his divine spirit. If you are to rise to the Superior God Realm here, the other chief gods would take issue with the chief god whose hometown this is. Those are the same chief gods who want to find out everything about the human race through you. So, with their attention diverted somewhat, your promotion to the Superior God Realm would impact the human race less.

Besides, the god's sense of the senior leaders of other races are unable to penetrate the abyss, so if you were to break through here, they would not be able to find out the whereabouts of the whole human race through you," the Rule Soul Avatar explained it briefly, as best he could. Truthfully, his deductive process and analysis were much more complicated than he revealed.

Darren now understood, at least the basics of the thought process.

If he entered the abyss, the impact on the human race would decrease but the danger he would be in would increase greatly.

But anyway, it was a good thing. It meant the senior leaders of the human race would not bother killing him.

"There's something else I don't understand. The land of the human race is in the Primitive Wilderness. Aren't the other races and chief gods able to rush into it at any time? Why do they need to detect their whereabouts through me?" This fact confused Darren. It seemed highly unnecessary to him.

The land of the human race was close to both the fiend race and the Shura race. Why did they need to use all sorts of obscure methods to find where the humans were, surely they knew by now?

In fact, Darren had once been captured by the fiend race, and Merle was still among the fiends.

The Rule Soul Avatar remained silent for a long while before he spoke again. "Darren, the truth is, the world we live in is very likely not real."

He had come to this conclusion through much analysis and deliberation.

This new knowledge left Darren feeling enlightened and equally astounded. It took quite a while before he was able to fully calm down.

"You mean to say our world is an illusion?"

"Yes, we, including those aliens, just exist in a consciousness space."

Darren's mind was a mess. It seemed that this assumption answered all the questions he had, all that had him confused.

What the leaders of the other races and the chief gods were doing, was trying their best to locate the real human land. This land they knew was just an illusion, formed by consciousness.
