Chapter 1540 Discussion

"The Dragon Blood Clan and the Sacred Palace were destroyed in a battle. They're long gone,” Bellereplied sadly.

"Alas..." Darren sighed remorsefully. Did his old friends really die?

Kirk, Chad, the Grand Blood Refiner, Timothy, Abelard, and his friends from the Sacred Palace—theywere all dead.

Darren couldn't help but sigh knowing how ruthless the war had been.

"How about the Ancient Void Battlefield? Weren't you there at the time?" It suddenly occurred toDarren that he had left the Ancient Void Battlefield on the Lothlann Continent when he left.

"The Ancient Void Battlefield didn't have an owner or the soul power of the controller. Thousands ofyears after your departure, it collapsed because of the exhaustion of the spiritual energy.”

"Alas! I left in such a hurry. I was too careless!" Only then did Darren realize the error in his ways."Belle, I have a question,” Elsa said suddenly.

Seeing Elsa's sad expression, Darren instantly knew what she wanted to ask. After all, they had comeback here to see Belle and her father.

"Elsa, do you want to ask about Uncle Thomas" condition?" Belle had also guessed that only Thomascould make Elsa so worried. She was afraid to hear bad news.

"Yes! Belle, how is my father?" Elsa asked excitedly.

"Don't worry, Elsa. Uncle Thomas and Aunt Diana are living in a secluded place. They should be fineand happy, in fact!” Belle said with a smile.

"He lives with Aunt Diana? Are you saying my father-in-law is with Holy Lord Diana?" Darren alsosmiled faintly.

"Yes, after you left, we all lived in the Ancient Void Battlefield. At the beginning, Uncle Thomas andAunt Diana became good friends. Then, they fell in love and, under our encouragement, decided tolive together. When the Ancient Void Battlefield was about to collapse, Uncle Thomas and AuntDiana went to a small relic to live a happy life. That place is very secret, and nothing that happenson the Lothlann Continent can affect them," Belle explained cheerfully.

"That's great. Darren, let's go to see Father and Aunt Diana! Belle, lead us to where they live, please.”Elsa was overjoyed.

"Okay. I remember where the entrance is. I'll take you there right away. I haven't seen Uncle Thomasand Aunt Diana in so long. I was afraid I'd bring only trouble to them.”

Over the years, Belle had either cultivated or been chased, so she never dared to look for herfriends.

After they got everything prepared, Darren, Elsa, Belle and Belle's family headed out to the smallrelic.

After flying for a while, they came to the border of the southern land, a gloomy marsh.

With Belle taking the lead, they soon found the relic's entrance buried at the bottom of the marsh. Itwas around the size of the mouth of a well.

Unhesitatingly, they slipped into the entrance. After passing through layers of seals, they fell into acompletely different world.

It wasn't that big, with a radius of roughly hundreds of kilometers, but there were mountains, rivers,blue sky and white clouds.

"Dad, Aunt Diana, we're back!"

Elsa's voice rang out.

"We're back!" Darren echoed.

By the river, in front of a thatched cottage,

an old man was dozing off in a bamboo chair. At the sound of their shouts, he slowly raised hishead and said, "Diana, I seem to hear the voices of Elsa and Darren."

A beautiful woman then emerged from the hut. Clad in an apron, it seemed that she had beencooking.

Standing next to Thomas, Diana squinted into the distance. What she saw caused tears to well up inher eyes.

"Alas, I am old and am seeing things again.” Thomas closed his eyes, seemingly unbothered. He wasused to the notion of hallucinating.

"No, you're not hallucinating this time!" Tears streamed down Diana's cheeks.

"I know Elsa and Darren aren't coming back, but I'd have wanted to see them before I died,” Thomassaid weakly, still not believing his eyes.

"Thomas..." Diana turned to look at Thomas, who had accompanied her for millions of years. In allthat time, he had missed his daughter terribly. Suddenly, she felt so sorry for him.

"Elsa and Darren are really back! They're right there!" Diana sobbed bitterly.

"Father, we are back!"

Several figures flew over and landed in front of the hut.

Thomas couldn't believe his ears. His blurry eyes saw hazy figures before him, but his ears didn'tbetray. At the sound of his beloved daughter's voice, tears streamed down his face and he chokedback a sob.

"Father, I'm sorry for not visiting you all these years.”

"Father, I'm sorry. I should have come over more often.”

Both Darren and Elsa fell to their knees before Thomas, apologizing profusely.

"Aunt Diana, Uncle Thomas, my brother and sister-in-law are really back!" Belle put down Sunny andwent to wrap her arms around Diana.

"That's fine..." Thomas’ voice was old and hoarse. He really didn't know what else he could say, as hewas too overwhelmed with emotions.

Meanwhile, in the relic of the Gottron Abyss of the Primitive Wilderness,

the first group of powerful human warriors just entered, thanks to the help of the Twelve GreatWitchers.

"Welcome!"

There were more than three hundred people in total, and about two hundred of them were asceticcultivators from the supreme gods’ cemetery. Their strength was close to that of the half-stepsupreme gods.

Of course, among them were Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng.

"Where is Darren? Where is he?" Lord Feng asked impatiently, as soon as he landed in front of theRule Soul Avatar.

"My real body has temporarily returned to his hometown through the dream. He will be back inthree days," the Rule Soul Avatar replied indifferently.

"Well, he should come back and have a look.” Lord Feng nodded.

Just then, a powerful ascetic cultivator flew over and landed in front of the Great Witchers and theRule Soul Avatar.

"How are you going to help Darren survive the tribulations?” he asked coldly.

"There is no specific plan. We will discuss it once all of you are here."

"We might be powerful, but our intelligence is far less than yours. You might be able to replace clues inthe River of Destiny," the ascetic cultivator said.

The leader of the Great Witchers shook his head. "We are not able to have a further observation ofthe River of Destiny. It has billions of branches, and we can only set foot in dozens of them. Butfrom each of them, we can see the same fate of Darren—death.”

"You might not be able to do it, but this one can.” The ascetic cultivator turned to look at the RuleSoul Avatar.

The Twelve Great Witchers were stunned.

"You're right! If he explores the River of Destiny, he can surely replace out more than we ever could!""We never considered this before. It was an oversight on our end. But I don't know if we can makehim do it now..."

It was only now that the Twelve Great Witchers realized that Xavier, a peerless talent in terms of rulecultivation, had also mastered the power of the witchcraft cultivation. If he had set foot in the Riverof Destiny earlier, he might have found the best plan to resist the tribulations!

The Twelve Great Witchers had been too anxious before, and they'd never bothered to consider this."Xavier, now we shall give you the Destiny Law. I hope you can control and comprehend it as soonas possible.”

"Okay," the Rule Soul Avatar said with a nod.

The Destiny Law was an extremely complicated law system. However, once one mastered it, theywould have what it took to step into the River of Destiny and see the future.
