Chapter 1723 Losing Their Souls

Fernando's words stunned Darren, and made him think.

'Why would a mountain from the Archean Age reappear in the era of Primitive Wilderness? Was it arranged by someone? Or is it just a coincidence?' Darren wondered.

He asked Finley, "Take me there to have a look later."

"Okay. By the way, where is the Rule Soul Avatar? He has some knowledge of the Time Law. I think it would make sense to let him have a look as well," Finley replied.

A look of sadness appeared on Darren's face. He said, "The Rule Soul Avatar has been left in the Archean Age. Lord Starry Sword and your real body haven't managed to return, either. Their situation is uncertain..."

Finley was startled. "What? What happened?" he exclaimed.

He wouldn't have believed this news if it hadn't come from Darren himself.

Darren quickly told Finley what had happened to the world outside this Archean mountain.

"Is it true?" Finley said. He was utterly shocked. In a tone of disbelief, he asked, "Has the human race also been destroyed?" Because Finley was isolated from the world in this Archean space, he had absolutely no idea of what was happening outside.

Before Darren could answer, Finley added, "You said that the lives of my real body, Lord Starry Sword and the Rule Soul Avatar were uncertain, but I didn't sense anything. How can that be?"

"Very well. But... What about Akbar and the old turtle man?" After all, although the two men had lost their souls, they were not yet dead.

"Take them too, and keep them alive and healthy. When I get the chance, I will enter the whirlpool, and I'll recover their souls," Darren said firmly.

It was dangerous, but there was no other option. "Okay. I think that's all we can do now," Finley sighed.

"By the way," said Darren suddenly, "I can't ask Akbar now, but do you have any idea where Aaron could be?"

"I don't know for certain. Akbar once mentioned that Aaron was in a very secret and safe place. I asked, but Akbar refused to say anything more," Finley replied.

"Well, all right, then," said Darren, slightly disappointed, although he had expected the answer. "Please go and inform Lindsay now. Pack up your things and take the children with you. Get everyone ready."

Finley agreed and took his leave.

When Finley was gone, Darren stayed where he was, gazing at the time-space whirlpool in the distance. For a very long time, he did not move or speak. He just stared at the colorful cloud, as though he was in a trance.
