The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 73 Gods and the Valley of Forgetfulness

The idea that someone can forget the past and start a new life is either a completely fabricated rumor or a secret method that even Airo has never heard of.

Besides these, the most likely explanation is that it is a deity.

As the oldest and most powerful race in the world, gods possess a myriad of abilities, far exceeding the five magical arts that humans can master.

Moreover, according to ancient records, in addition to the Spirit Control Technique, even the Four Great Control Techniques were bestowed upon humanity by ancient gods who once protected humankind.

Back to the topic

The unexpected intervention of the gods suddenly made the investigation to the Valley of Forgetfulness full of variables, and also made Kahn more cautious.

With his current strength, he can confidently say that it's no big deal whether facing wild beasts, magical creatures, or fire tamers, but being so arrogant in front of gods is just courting death.

He remembered reading "The Avatar: The Last Airbender" before, a very thick history book about the experiences of the Avatars throughout history, but it was also very interesting to him.

In the book, there is a character named Avatar whose wife's face was stolen by a deity, while he himself survived. After that, Avatar spent his entire life searching for that deity, wanting to reclaim his wife's face, but ultimately he failed.

It's a tragic story, but it also served as a wake-up call for Kahn.

Even the most powerful being among humans, Avatar, is helpless against gods, so he naturally dares not be arrogant. He also tells him that gods are not all benevolent and that he must be extra careful.

With this cautious thought in mind, Kahn did not immediately set off for the Valley of Forgetfulness after waking up the next day. Instead, he asked the Noren family about the legend of the Valley of Forgetfulness, hoping to get some clues.

The result was delightful; a legend indeed circulated in the small town right next to Forget-Worry Valley.

Legend has it that a deity resides in the Valley of Forgetfulness, possessing the power to change people's appearances and make them forget everything.

Every so often, the deity would pass through the Valley of Forgetfulness. If people were fortunate enough to encounter Him, they could ask Him to help them forget their sorrows and begin a completely new life.

It is because of this legend that the place is called the Valley of Forgetfulness.

However, the Valley of Forgetfulness is indeed very dangerous. It is said to be full of all kinds of ferocious animals, insects, and plants, which may even attack humans on their own, as if they have their own thoughts.

Plants, animals, and insects with consciousness?

Kahn looked thoughtful; this characteristic sounded somewhat like an environment in the spirit world.

But that's not the point. The point is that gods do exist.

Moreover, upon hearing this and combining it with the clues he had previously obtained, he suspected that Ershu might have already changed her appearance with the help of the gods, and might even have started a completely new life with that Aiken.

Ah this

Kahn suddenly felt a stomachache. The juicy gossip he had heard in the past two days had left him somewhat numb, but the most crucial thing was that the subjects of the gossip were the mothers of his two good friends, which made him extremely embarrassed every time.

If we really find Ershu, then when we meet in the future...

Kahn dared not even think about it; his young and immature values ​​simply could not withstand these things any longer.

Try to clear your mind of distractions; it's too early to think about the future when things are still so uncertain.

At worst, he can just stay away from us.

Getting back to the main point, judging from the stories passed down by the local residents, the deity in Forget-Worry Valley should be a kind deity, which put him somewhat at ease.

As long as it's not an unreasonable and evil deity like the face-stealing god in "Avatar: The Last Airbender," then his identity as a spirit master should still be quite effective in front of the gods.

What exactly is a bridge connecting the divine and humankind?! (Tactical lean back)

Having made up his mind, Kahn bid farewell to the Noren family and went to Worry-Free Valley alone to investigate.

It was said that Lach Town and Forget-Me-Not Valley were not far apart, but after leaving the town, Kahn rode his bird-beast along the mountain road for another half a day, and did not reach his destination until the afternoon.

A forest nestled in a canyon appeared before him, with a wooden sign bearing the words "Valley of Forgetfulness" hanging crookedly on an inconspicuous tree.

It is here.

Kahn thought to himself with certainty.

In his perception, the spiritual aura of this forest was stronger than in other places. Although it was far inferior to the spirit realm, it was still quite noticeable to him.

Then, he tied the bird-beast to a tree outside the forest, took a deep breath to calm himself, and walked slowly into the forest alone.

Although his spirit control skills were only at a beginner level, and his teacher, Airo, was not an expert in the art, Airo was quite experienced in dealing with deities and had already passed on his knowledge to him.

As the saying goes, the divine is a mirror of the soul, and sincerity and kindness are the best attitudes.

As he entered the forest, Kahn carefully observed his surroundings, for in addition to the gods, there were also plants and animals here that were said to actively attack humans.

But after traveling for quite some time, the journey remained calm and peaceful. There were no plants or animals that actively attacked humans, no strange phenomena, and not even any wild animals were encountered.

No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary forest.

For a moment, Kahn even doubted whether he had come to the wrong place. Was the word on that sign really "Valley of Forgetfulness"? Or could it be "Valley of Forgetfulness of Worries"? Or perhaps "Valley of Forgetfulness of Exasperation"?

Despite these doubts, he continued walking forward, only quickening his pace, thinking that if he didn't find anything in a while, he would have to go back.

However, at that moment, the area ahead suddenly brightened, and after walking for a while, the view suddenly opened up, and a lake surrounded by trees appeared in front of Kahn.

He had never seen such a clear and calm lake. The lake reflected the clouds in the sky, as if the sky were embedded in the ground.

Most importantly, he could sense the rich spiritual energy in the lake, as if he were in a spirit world. It seemed that it wasn't the forest that was rich in spiritual energy, but rather the lake that had permeated the entire forest.

Based on the legends he had heard, this must be the abode of the gods.

So here's the question: what about the gods?

Kahn looked around the lake but did not find any sign of the deity.

Could it be that the gods haven't arrived yet?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If it were really that easy to meet the gods and seek their help, this place wouldn't just be an ancient legend; people would have worn down the threshold long ago.

But if that's the case, then it seems like this trip was a waste of time.

Kahn sighed, never expecting that this trip would end so abruptly.

rustling

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes beside the lake. With a slightly wary look in Kahn's eyes, a man and a woman appeared in his field of vision.

Only their clothing—

"A water master?!"

My defense starts on the 6th. I revised my thesis again today. The plagiarism check cost me over 100 yuan, which really hurt.

There will only be one update today, I hope everyone understands.
