Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 264

While Finley was busy playing to be the victim, the Shadow Emperor interrupted him, "Finley, I have something that I need your help with."

"Huh?" Finley was so stunned that he turned still as a rock the moment he heard the Shadow Emperor's words. He asked again, "What? You need my help?"

...

Darren stepped back one space after another. He just stayed in the eleventh space for a short moment, gazing kindly at Denise with a smile, then he left and went on.

"Darren, here you come."

When he was back in the first space, he saw that the guardian had been waiting for him. He approached him slowly.

"Sir, the Shadow Emperor told me that he will let me become the master of the Ancient Void Battlefield."

"Yes, you are right. But before you make a decision, you can listen to my story." The guardian seemed to be indulged in his memories. He started telling the story as if it was still fresh from his mind.

"Actually the Ancient Void Battlefield was the small space of my master that was formed when he had successfully become a holy warrior. The time my master lived was called the Last Age, and that was millions of years ago."

"Millions of years ago? Why does your master's small space still exist now in our age? Is he living now?" Darren asked, surprised. He wondered how the space was still existing and functional if the master was no longer present.

The guardian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "My master was called the Grand Void Emperor. He died a few thousand years after he had become the holy warrior.

My master seemed to predict that was going to happen long before he died so he made some careful arrangement. He tore his soul and left two small pieces at the age of eight. The moment he became the holy warrior, the first thing he did was to seal his two small pieces of soul in the small space."

Hearing this, Darren voiced his question, "Sir, when the Grand Void Emperor had predicted his death, why did he take such measures to leave his two pieces of soul at the age of eight? Why didn't he do that when he grew stronger?"

"The reason for that was complicated. To keep it simply, if he left stronger pieces of his soul, it would be noticed by others. In that case when he died, the two small pieces of soul would be killed together.
