"Hey, Julian! Look who's back!"
Austin greeted his son with a smile as he suddenly appeared in front of Julian.
"Dad!"
Julian recognized Austin as soon as he laid eyes on him. He excitedly rushed forward and threw
himself into Austin's arms.
However, a small frown replaced the smile on Austin's face. He asked his son worriedly,
"Julian, where did you get these divine pills?
Tell me honestly, did you steal them?"
"Dad, you misunderstood me. I asked those divine gods to refine these divine pills for me.
I told them that if they don't help me refine the divine pills, I will stay in their pill refining room and bug
them until they agree,"
Julian replied with a smug look in his innocent eyes.
"Really? You..."
Austin didn't know what to say, as he was both amused and angry.
His spiritual sense was so powerful that he quickly figured out that Julian was telling the truth.
"Julian, do you feel uncomfortable after taking so many divine pills?"
he asked anxiously, as deep lines of concern started to mar his face.
After all, even a governing god couldn't take so many divine pills all at once.
Ordinary gods would not even dare to do that.
"Don't worry, dad. The more I take these divine pills, the more energetic I become.
In fact, I feel more uncomfortable if I don't take them," replied Julian.
He grinned brightly at his worried father, waving his little arm to reassure Austin.
"Okay. That's good."
While he was speaking, Austin examined Julian's body and found nothing unusual. On the contrary, he
seemed very healthy and energetic.
"Dad, now that you're back, come with me to see mom.
Don't you know how much mom misses you? And those aunts are talking about you every day."
Julian grabbed Austin's hand tightly as if he would never let go, and they rushed back to the small
mountain where Caroline lived.
Even though Julian was very young and had no experience in cultivation, he was born to know the law
of space and time. His young body constantly traveled through space and time at lightning speed.
Seeing this, Austin couldn't help but secretly marvel at Julian. He didn't expect that he would have such
an exceptional child.
The Ultimate Divine Embryo truly deserved its well-respected reputation.
Austin couldn't help but sigh. His son was, without a doubt, remarkable.
A moment later, Austin and Julian arrived at the small mountain where Caroline lived.
Austin and Caroline, his wife, hadn't seen each other for more than six hundred years, and they had
missed each other very much. Now that they reunited, they were delighted by each other's company.
In the next ten years, Austin stayed in this small world with his family, friends, and former masters.
Over ten years passed like this. And time went by quickly in Austin's eyes like the twinkling of an eye.
One day, Austin said goodbye to his wives and son, leaving the small world.
"Sirs, how is everything going in the Sea of Chaos?"
Austin asked after he found the twelve zodiac animals.
"It seems that Humphrey hasn't appeared in the past six hundred years. He must have hidden
somewhere to cultivate.
During this period, the most significant event in the Sea of Chaos is that Humphrey ordered all the
forces and races to offer several times more cultivation resources than before.
And now, every force and race in the Sea of Chaos is living a miserable life.
The cultivation resources they need to gather and give to Humphrey put a tremendous burden on their
shoulders. How could they ever develop now?
Humphrey also made an example out of more than a hundred forces and races, as he wiped them out
because they couldn't pay enough cultivation resources on time.
If it went on like this, the end of the world would come.
No race or force can survive,"
the sky-devouring dog said with a sigh, shaking its head.
"If we don't kill Humphrey, the Sea of Chaos will definitely be destroyed,"
the big black bull also chimed in, sighing.
"Humphrey doesn't care about the Sea of Chaos at all because he is not a member of the Sea of
Chaos.
Sooner or later, he would leave this place and go back to where he had lived before.
So why should he care about the situation in the Sea of Chaos?"
The colorful rooster shook its head, sounding tired and resigned.
"Sirs, I'm going out to take a look," said Austin after listening to their updates.
Then, Austin walked out of the Fallen Divine Valley and went deep into the Sea of Chaos.
He didn't bother to hide his aura.
Instead, he walked around ostentatiously.
Now, Austin was confident that even if Humphrey came over, he could at least escape safely.
He released his spiritual sense to search for Humphrey.
"Look! It's Austin. He has appeared again."
Since he wasn't hiding, many powerful cultivators in the Sea of Chaos immediately spotted him. Their
gazes pierced through the distant void and landed on him.
"Why did Austin come out again? Does he want to fight Humphrey again?"
Every strong cultivator was curious.
The battle between Austin and Humphrey more than six hundred years ago caused a sensation in the
Sea of Chaos.
Everyone marveled at the fact that Austin had actually hurt Humphrey, who they considered
untouchable.
"It would be best if Austin and Humphrey fought again. Right now, there's no one who can fight against
Humphrey in the entire Sea of Chaos but Austin."
"It's best that the two of them fight each other to the death. If both of them got injured, it would be a
great thing for the entire Sea of Chaos."
"That's right!
If the two of them perish together, it will be a relief to our Sea of Chaos!"
They stared at Austin while talking to each other in secret.
Austin's spiritual sense was incredibly powerful. He had made great progress in cultivating the mind
power in the past few hundred years, so he had sensed what these powerful cultivators were saying
about him.
"I didn't expect that these people thought I am as annoying as Humphrey.
They not only want Humphrey to die, but they also want me to die.
They are judging me so harshly without even knowing me well."
Austin shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He hated these people's attitudes. However, he naturally wouldn't argue with these creatures in the
Sea of Chaos with his current strength.
Instead, he elected to ignore them, just as a dragon would not bother to argue with the ants on the
ground.
He and those creatures were at completely different levels, and he was far superior to them.
"Where did Humphrey go?"
To Austin's surprise, he couldn't find Humphrey anywhere in the Sea of Chaos, even after he had
looked for a while.
"What?"
After unleashing his spiritual sense to scan the area several times, Austin finally found something.
He used his bodily movement skill, and in a few steps, he arrived at a remote chaotic void.
In the middle of this chaotic voice stood a massive star.
An old man sat on top of the star. He appeared calm and serene, motionless as an ancient monk
meditating in peace.
"Humphrey, I didn't expect to find you cultivating here.
I'm coming!"
Austin muttered with an ugly sneer, staring at the old man with sharp, stormy eyes.
"Austin, how dare you disturb me when I am cultivating?"
the old man said coldly, as he suddenly opened his eyes.
Austin was about to say something else but stopped when he noticed something suspicious.
He studied Humphrey with a suspicious look, looking him up and down, as he asked,
"Humphrey, where is your real body? Why is only an avatar left here?"
