In the Primitive Tribe
Darren, the avatar, and the old man came to a secret chamber.
In the middle of the chamber was the Shura's corpse.
"Darren, I'm really sorry that I robbed your Shura's corpse," the old man apologized.
"It's okay. If you hadn't, I wouldn't have made friends with you. Besides, I killed the spiritual beast you raised before, so we're even." Darren smiled.
"Ha-ha. You're right. I have already sent your two subordinates into the tribe."
"Thank you so much," Darren replied.
The old man nodded back at him. Then he sighed, "You know, I don't know if Talon really had a hidden reason for killing those people. It has been difficult for me to come to terms with his death."
The old man still could not let it go. He had believed in what Talon said at the last moment.
"Forget him. He is just a vile guy," the Rule Soul Avatar said.
"What do you mean? Do you know something?" the old man asked.
Then, the Rule Soul Avatar briefly explained their plan, and told the old man that his Spirit Power had detected that Talon had lied. After hearing that, the old man was relieved.
"By the way, avatar, could you examine this corpse to see if I can obtain a stronger Shura Force from it?"
Darren knew that no one was better than the Rule Soul Avatar in studying objects. Thus, if he examined the corpse, he might find something useful.
"Sure." The Rule Soul Avatar nodded his head and then said, "You can go and cultivate while I take a look at the corpse. After I finish, I will come to you."
"Okay." Darren agreed. He was about to leave when the Rule Soul Avatar stopped him.
"My real body, I hope you can promise me that you will never think of merging with me again." The avatar was very concerned.
Hearing this, Darren smiled and said, "Don't worry. We are destined to be separated and to live as two independent creatures. You can count on me. Moreover, you are so much more powerful than me. Even if I want to do so, rest assured that I don't have the ability to assimilate with you."
The Rule Soul Avatar was stunned for a moment. He then answered coldly, "You will be more powerful than me one day. I hope you will still remember your promise by then."
Then, the Rule Soul Avatar bowed towards Darren.
Darren hurriedly held up his avatar and said, "I will never break my promise. Never."
"Thank you," the Rule Soul Avatar said as he nodded.
"By the way, can you help me clear up my confusion?"
"Go ahead."
"I know we have shared memories, and you remember everything I have experienced. Can you recall what I saw in the abandoned well?"
"Do you mean the scene where you and the other man who looked exactly the same as you fought for life and death?"
"Yes, exactly!" Darren said in an excited tone.
The Rule Soul Avatar went silent instantly. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Darren's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. Then he mustered up all his courage to ask, "Could it be the two of us?" Darren's heart was pounding.
Only when he saw his avatar fall silent did he suddenly realize the possibility.
The Rule Soul Avatar quickly changed his face and denied it at once.
"No. Don't forget that I am part of your soul. Once your soul dies, I will also die. It is impossible for us to fight against each other," the Rule Soul Avatar said while looking down.
Darren felt reassured when he heard this.
"You're right. But who could it be?" Darren frowned.
"In fact, that scene has also puzzled me for many years. After analyzing it again and again and cross-examining every detail of all of our experiences, I have to come to the conclusion that it doesn't make sense at all. However, it is possible that it had happened," the Rule Soul Avatar replied.
