The Supreme God of Martial Arts

'Did he say Otis Wen? Isn't that the legendary marshal from the folk stories in my country?’

Austin thought as he looked at the tall man.

According to ancient legends of Brilliant Kingdom on Earth where Austin was from, there were four great marshals. They were

Marshal Reg, Marshal Adair, Marshal Otis, and Marshal Bevis. This time, they were meeting one of them.

"Mr. Otis, these two were also from the three thousand big and small universes. We're actually together when we entered the Fallen

Divine Valley,"

Tyrone said as he introduced Ingram and Austin.

"I see. All of you are from the three thousand big and small universes, huh?"

Otis took a quick glance at Ingram and Austin.

"For now, let's go inside so we could talk properly.

| know you just arrived here, so you must have many questions," Otis said to the three.

"Oh, and Bill, they're acquaintances of mine. I'm afraid you should let it go."

Otis turned back and looked at Bill with a fair warning.

Obviously, Bill was disappointed. He didn't want to waste the opportunity to take advantage of the newcomers.

But in the end, he didn't have a choice, so he snorted coldly and left eventually.

The other divine gods also went back to their own places.

Otis then led Austin, Ingram and Tyrone into his room in their palace.

The palace where he stayed was very spacious and dozens of rooms could be found in it.

As soon as they sat down, Otis didn't hold back his sigh.

"You guys are too reckless. What were you thinking when you entered the Fallen Divine Valley? Do you know how dangerous this

place is? It's easy to get in here, but it's extremely difficult to get out.

Just look at me. I've been trapped in this place for more than a million years!

If you're not lucky enough, I'm afraid you'll end up like me. In the meantime, you'll stay here and accompany me."

It was obvious that he was disappointed by the actions of the three young men, but it was not his place to get angry since he also

did what they just did.

"Mr. Otis, you were stuck in this place for more than a million years?"

Ingram couldn't help but ask as he couldn't believe what he heard the first tOtis mentioned it.

"Yes, you heard that right.

It was indeed a long tago when | left the three thousand big and small universes. | traveled around the Sea of Chaos and didn't

stay in one place for long.

Then, | happened to break into the Fallen Divine Valley with a few of my friends. Ever since then, | have been stuck here and

couldn't find a way out,"

Otis replied as he reminisced what had happened a million years ago.

"But why? | mean, what is with this place? Why can't everyone get out?"

Tyrone asked impatiently.

"You just passed a test when you entered here, right? All creatures must keep passing the tests if they want to keep moving.

That's the only way out of here.

Now, if they fail, like us, they would be trapped in here. Well, of course, you could re-take the test, but it doesn't mean that it'll get

easier the next taround.

Moreover, there's a terrible rule existing in here saying that if one couldn't pass the test after one million and five hundred

thousand years upon arriving here, he or she would be eradicated—body and soul,"

Otis explained further.

The three looked at each other as they gasped in astonishment at what they heard.

"What exactly is this Fallen Divine Valley? What are these tests for and who established those rules?"

"You mean to say that the Fallen Divine Valley is a place for trials?"

"That's insane. So there are extremely powerful beings manipulating this place?"

The three threw several questions at Otis in succession.

"The truth is | don't know either.

What | told you is everything that | know. | may have stayed in this place for more than a million years but those are just the things

that are known to us.

Since | failed the test, | have been cultivating so hard to improve my strength.

| have actually repeated the test many times that I've already lost count.

To be exact, I've been here for one million and three hundred thousand years already.

If | still fail the test in the next two hundred thousand years, | will completely vanish. Both my body and soul would be terminated,"

Otis said in frustration.

"Mr. Otis, even you can't pass the test.

Then how are we going to make it? | mean, we're much inferior to you."

Austin couldn't help but blurt out his own thoughts.

Otis was in fact a medium-grade divine god.

On the other hand, the three young men only had the strength of preliminary-grade divine gods.

"You don't have to worry about that,"

Otis quickly replied as he forgot to mention one interesting detail about the tests.

"Your cultivation base isn't really a factor here. It doesn't necessarily mean that if one has a higher cultivation level, he would be

able to pass the test easily.

A specific trial is assigned to every person.

It is also said that the higher someone's cultivation base, the more difficult it would be for him to pass the test.

Meaning, the test contents are usually easier for weaker cultivators.

In short, it solely depends on one's talent and character.

Over the years, as far as | observed, only those who bore such outstanding talents, strong will, perseverance, and patience are

likely to succeed.

In a word, only those who are better than their peers have the chance to make it.

In the end, you should exceed your limitations, regardless of your cultivation base, so that you could stand a chance,"

Otis added.

"All right then."

Austin, Ingram, and Tyrone felt a little relieved upon hearing what Otis said.

"Anyway, since you're already here, you should try your best to pass the test.

| really hope that you could get out of this place as soon as possible.

But I'll also tell you this. It's much more difficult than you could imagine. You have to be prepared, especially mentally.

| told you that I've been here for more than a million years, right?

And as far as | know, only two people have been successful in passing the test and were able to leave this place."

This information once again crushed the spirit of the three newcomers.

"Only two people?" "Within one million and three hundred thousand years?!"

They were not able to speak afterward.

'What kind of test are they giving? Why is it that difficult to pass it?’ they thought.

"Well, there's no tfor you to be discouraged.

You knew that this was a forbidden land and yet you still entered. Have a good rest first, and then try to pass the test.

From now on, that would be your top and only priority,"

Otis continued.

"Mr. Otis, | know we should have said this earlier, but we actually chere because of a mission."

Ingram took the opportunity to tell him.

Then, the three of them told Otis in detail the reason why they entered the Fallen Divine Valley.

They also filled him in regarding the current situation of the three thousand big and small universes.

"What?!

Forgive me. | assumed that the three of you broke in this place because of your selfish curiosity.

Almost all of the people here had the smotives, so | thought you'll be the same.

| never thought that the Jade Emperor and Queen Siobhan would send you here!"

Otis's expression changed tically as he knew the real purpose of their trip to the forbidden land.

"Humph! Hackett and Elliot! | didn't expect those two idiots to collude with the creatures of the isolated alien spaces and stir up

trouble again in the three thousand big and small universes!"

His face turned red in anger as he thought of his former enemies.

Back then, he was one of the core members of the Heavenly Court.

In the previous war, he had killed countless members of the opposing side and made significant contributions.

"By the way, Mr. Otis, you have been trapped in this place for a long time. Have you ever heard anything about Master Frost and

Master Brain?"

Ingram remembered and didn't hesitate to ask.

"I'm afraid not.

However, it must mean that the two masters successfully passed the test and left this place long ago.

If you want to find them, you also have to pass the test and keep moving,"

Otis urged them.

The three also nodded in agreement.

"Well, since the Jade Emperor and Queen Siobhan chose you for this mission, it means that all of you are very talented and skillful.

I'm still a member of the Heavenly Court and | deeply respect them. From now on, you three can stay here in my place and use it

for your cultivation.

Of course, I'll try my best to keep you safe,"

Otis assured them.

"Sir, | just had to ask. Is this place in chaos?"

Ingram asked without hesitation.

"Actually, itis.

You might already know this. The creatures that were trapped in here cfrom various places. Swere even from faraway

universes of the Sea of Chaos.

In short, there are all kinds of people that you can encounter here.

Moreover, the longer a person is trapped here, means that he will need more cultivation resources.

With that, ambush, assassinations, and even robbery are very common in this area.

That's why many people are forced to form alliances in order to protect themselves.

I, myself is in an alliance with the people living in this palace.

However, you should pay extra attention to Bill. | know that man for so long. He's a greedy and cruel man.

Since you're new here, everyone thinks that you must have brought a lot of cultivation resources with you. Thus, he must have his

eyes on you,"

Otis warned.

"Yes, we'll be careful."

The three understood the situation. The Jade Emperor and Queen Siobhan had bestowed them with lots of cultivation resources

and other precious items that they could utilize for their mission. They should indeed be careful to not waste any of them.

After their long talk, the three newcomers rested in Otis' room.
