Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 998 Distrust

The Rule Soul Avatar seemed to have found something special.

"Did you replace anything?" Darren asked again.

"No."

The avatar shook his head.

Darren felt strange. "Why are you lying to me? You found something.”

Darren could tell from the avatar's expression that he had found something, but he could notunderstand why he needed to hide it.

The Rule Soul Avatar kept quiet.

Darren gazed at the avatar. "Do you have anything worth hiding from me? Don't forget that we areone."

"I am not hiding anything from you. I just can't understand something. I'll let you know when I'msure about it," replied the avatar.

Darren gave him a small smile. "You are an independent individual now. I can't control you and tellyou what to do. It's okay if you don't tell me.”

Then, he flew along the side of the small stream.

The avatar stood there with a cold expression on his face before going after Darren.

Darren and the avatar flew in silence for a while. This underground cave seemed endless.

The stream seemed to grow wider and wider as they went on.

Darren landed and began to observe the stream.

"This underground cave seems to have no end, but the stream must lead somewhere. I wonder whatis at the end..."

Darren walked into the stream. He felt the cold seize his body. If he were not a True Ice SpiritualBody, he would have frozen to death.

"What?"

Darren felt something strange take over his body.

"What kind of aura it this? Why does it seem like time is flying?" Darren murmured.

Time was flying!

Darren suddenly understood.

"I've got it. I've got it!"

"What did you replace?" the avatar asked.

"If I remember correctly, this aura is exactly the same as the aura of the River of Forgetfulness. Thestream is flowing to our era, turning into the River of Forgetfulness!"

Darren felt enlightened. Surely, this stream was the only one of its kind.

"That's right,” the avatar sighed.

"You knew that. You kept it from me on purpose,” Darren said.

"Yes, I didn't want you to know," replied the avatar.

"Why not?" Darren turned around and looked at him coldly.

The avatar did not speak.

"My real body, we must go back. We can't go back to our era by following this stream, let alonemeet that amazing figure,” the avatar said suddenly.

Darren frowned and walked up to his avatar. "What are you trying to hide?! Are you trying toreplace me?"

As soon as he said this, the powerful aura of the Rule Soul Avatar suddenly fluctuated. His silvereyes flashed.

After a while, the Rule Soul Avatar calmed down.

"My real body, you think too much.”

"Well, am I right?" Darren sneered.

"If you keep thinking this way, you will put a wedge between us," the avatar said.

"You're the one hiding something and you have the gall to blame me? It's your fault!"

The Rule Soul Avatar flinched. He wanted to say something, but swallowed back the words.Suddenly, the avatar grabbed Darren's arm and flew forward at a very fast speed.

Some time had passed and Darren saw that he had been taken to a special place by the avatar. Itwas a wall lit up by colorful lights. The stream passed through it.

"What is this?" Darren asked.

"You cannot cross.” The avatar pointed at the colorful wall.

Darren landed and walked along the stream. He tried to go through the wall.

He could feel his body sink into it but when he opened his eyes again, he saw that he was right backwhere he started.

"There is something wrong with the time and space here. We can't travel through it," the avatar said.Darren did not answer but turned around and flew back.

Darren made up his mind to leave the cave since he couldn't pass through the wall. He did not tryto ask why the avatar tried to hide what he discovered from him because he knew it would befruitless.

The avatar flinched again. Then, he went after Darren.

A few days later, Darren returned to the ground with the avatar.

"The River of Forgetfulness? Why is it the River of Forgetfulness?" Darren thought aloud.

"There are one hundred thousand ancient senior holy warriors in the waters of the River ofForgetfulness. There is an immortal who had attempted to go in, and the witcher ancestor, who iswatching the river... Are there any connections among these people? What secrets are hidden in thethe River of Forgetfulness?" Darren thought aloud.

"My real body, I'll go back and comprehend the Shura Force. If you need me, please let me know,”the avatar said and flew away.

The corner of Darren's mouth twitched; he was dissatisfied with the avatar's behavior.

"My real body, what I can comprehend might have something to do with the time-space disorder.Do you remember the ball that sent you into this world?"

The Rule Soul Avatar's voice rang out.

Darren was stunned when he heard this.

"Time-space disorder? The ball that sent me to this world?"

Darren immediately took out the half of the sphere that had been buried in his Space Ring for years.Its surface looked like a walnut. Darren had gotten it from Gavin's tomb.

He still remembered that his uncle Reed had told him that he saw a big fireball coming down fromthe sky. When the ball landed and the smoke cleared, they discovered a baby inside it. That babywas Darren.

"Space-time disorder..."

Darren used his spiritual sense to probe the half ball. It contained the Time Rule, or even Time Law,as he detected before.

"What did the avatar detect?" Darren murmured. Until now, he still couldn't figure it out. However,he knew he needed to dig deeper.

"Wow!"

After thinking for a long time, Darren suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. He couldn't figure outwhat it was coming from.

"Well, no matter what kind of secret it is, it will be unraveled one day.” Darren didn't dwell on it. Hecould only move on to see what would happen next.

After a while, Darren flew up and returned to the Primitive Tribe.

When he returned, Darren continued to immerse himself in cultivation, hoping to pass the test assoon as possible. He did not care about the Fire and Water Emperor Character anymore. He justwanted to know the reason why the test was set up in the first place.

A few months later.

"My real body, I have found something important about the Shura Force. Come quick!"

Since that day by the stream, Darren had not communicated with the avatar. He could feel a riftbetween the two of them.

However, Darren did not think twice about heading towards the avatar.
