Both Lord Feng and Lord Starry Sword suddenly felt bad.
Boom! Boom!
The coffin began to shake violently as the lid slowly opened. Blood red runes surged out of the coffin, taking the shapes of bloodthirsty phantoms.
"Go!" Lord Feng and Lord Starry Sword both shouted as they prepared to fly off.
However, they had only traveled for less than ten feet when they were blocked by an invisible wall.
The blood red runes swarmed to where they were and covered them.
Suddenly, they were unable to move or make a sound. They could only feel what was going on around them.
A huge force pulled them toward the blood coffin. In the blink of an eye, they were sucked into it.
"Darren? Are you in here?" Lord Starry Sword blurted out in surprise.
After stumbling through darkness for a while, Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng landed in an ancient forest. As soon as they landed, they saw Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar sitting cross-legged on a stone terrace a few feet away from them.
"So... This is the real relic from the Archean Age?" Lord Feng murmured, feeling the energy buzz through the air.
"Maybe," Lord Starry Sword responded.
Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar opened their eyes at the same time.
The Rule Soul Avatar stood up first. "This is not a relic. This is a real world of Archean Age."
"What?"
Lord Feng exclaimed, raising his eyebrows in surprise.
"The Archean world has already been destroyed for trillions of years. How could it be the world of the Archean Age?"
Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar flew over together and landed beside them.
"Hello, Lord Feng! Hello, Lord Starry Sword! According to my avatar, this is indeed the world of the Archean Age. The blood coffin serves as its entrance," Darren explained.
Lord Feng and Lord Starry Sword were silent. They released their god's senses to probe their surroundings.
After a while, they withdrew their god's senses. "It's indeed a little different from the relic, but it's very likely that it's just a well-preserved relic. After all, if the Archean Age is indestructible, and there won't be any future eras."
The laws of heaven and earth were different in every era. If the previous era hadn't collapsed, a new era wouldn't have taken its place.
Countless years had passed since the Archean Age. It had already disappeared in the torrent of history. It was absolutely impossible for the world of the Archean Age to exist now.
"Maybe this is the consciousness world that the extreme masters from the Archean Age made," Lord Starry Sword said.
The consciousness world, as its name implied, was created from the masters' consciousness. It was the same as the human land of the Primitive Wilderness where Darren had been. Everything seemed to be real, but in fact, everything was just an illusion.
However, life and death were real even in the consciousness world. If one died in the consciousness world, he would be dead in the real world, too.
Hearing what Lord Starry Sword said, the Rule Soul Avatar nodded in agreement. Such a scenario was highly possible.
"Darren, we had better return to the Primitive Wilderness now. You can come here again when you're strong enough," Lord Feng said.
Darren gave him a bitter smile but didn't say anything. He looked at the Rule Soul Avatar. "Avatar, please explain our situation to the two masters."
The Rule Soul Avatar cleared his throat. "With our current abilities, we're stuck here. Besides, it is not good for Darren to go out now."
"Why? Where is the one who has communicated with Supreme God Shipley? Can't you ask him for help?" Lord Feng asked, visibly confused.
"It's very complicated," the Rule Soul Avatar replied, breathing out slowly. "The one who communicated with Supreme God Shipley is just a spiritual sense of an ancient witcher. He is not a real being. If we want to go out, we will have to wait for my Time Law to get better. Moreover, the defiant mark on Darren's body has changed. If I'm correct, the chief gods will detect him once he leaves this place."
"What? If you two can't get out,
then why are we here?"
"Uh..." Darren chuckled, a little embarrassed. "I asked my avatar to open the blood coffin and invite you in by communicating with the last wisp of law.
