The Reincarnation Token that Austin carried emitted an odd sensation.
It had been five years since Austin began studying the black mountain, and the Reincarnation Token
had only just started to exude some kind of response.
To Austin, it appeared as though the response was directed at the black mountain.
Upon further observation, he believed it was aimed at something inside the black mountain.
"It seems that my sixth sense is right.
The black mountain in front of me must have something to do with the reincarnation race!"
As time passed and Austin observed the interaction between the black mountain and the Reincarnation
Token, he became certain about his inference.
Despite having figured this part out, Austin couldn't understand what was going on based on the mere
response between the two.
So, he continued to study the black mountain.
Day by day, time passed.
In the blink of an eye, five years had flown by.
One day,
the Reincarnation Token on Austin's body began to quiver.
When he glanced up, he noticed that the black mountain was trembling as well.
The mysterious connection between the black mountain and the Reincarnation Token piqued Austin's
curiosity even more.
"I see," he mumbled with a shake of his head. "This black mountain also belongs to the reincarnation
race, just like the Reincarnation Token!"
Austin was suddenly enlightened.
"What?
Now it appears as though something inside the black mountain is summoning the Reincarnation
Token!"
Austin exclaimed with astonishment.
"Could there be another world inside the black mountain?"
he wondered with furrowed brows.
Highly curious now, he activated the Reincarnation Token and held it in his hand. Then he released his
spiritual sense to penetrate the black mountain.
At the same time, he controlled the Reincarnation Token with his spiritual sense. He intended to send it
into the mountain.
The Reincarnation Token began to buzz but nothing more happened.
For a moment, Austin couldn't manage to send it forward.
However, he didn't give up.
He continued to manipulate the Reincarnation Token and forced it toward the black mountain inch by
inch.
Austin believed that since something inside the black mountain was summoning the Reincarnation
Token, the Reincarnation Token could enter the black mountain.
Besides, now that his interest had crested, nothing would stop Austin from entering the black mountain
and exploring it.
Time continued to pass as Austin persisted with his plan to force the Reincarnation Token into the black
mountain.
"Ten years have passed, but Austin is still studying our underworld's sacred mountain.
I wonder what he intends to do.
What's more mystifying is that his interest in our sacred mountain is so unwavering."
The nine governing gods of the underworld would frequently monitor Austin from on top of the black
mountain.
Of course, they would never dare to disturb him.
After all, brokering peace with Austin had not been an easy feat.
And they were worried that the consequences would be disastrous if they offended Austin again.
Another year flew past.
One day,
all of a sudden,
something unexpected happened.
The Reincarnation Token began to shake violently, emitting a burst of roaring sounds.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next moment,
a dark column of light shot out from the black mountain and headed for Austin.
Austin didn't dodge.
He wasn't afraid that it would hurt him as he knew that the dark light column was a kind of teleportation
energy,
a very special type of teleportation energy.
In fact, he was pretty sure that this teleportation energy and the Reincarnation Token in his hand would
respond to each other, and he didn't want to interrupt the process.
Moreover, he was aware that only the Reincarnation Token could draw the extraordinary and
mysterious teleportation energy.
In an instant,
the dark teleportation energy enveloped Austin.
It tore through space and time before disappearing.
The next moment,
a crack appeared in the void somewhere.
Whoosh!
A figure flew out of the chasm.
It was Austin.
"Where am I?
Is it possible that I am inside the black mountain?"
Austin murmured to himself as he glanced around, confusion evident in his tone and expression.
"What?
Is that a road of reincarnation?"
exclaimed Austin when he spotted a massive road in front of him. The dark-grey expanse curved and
stretched endlessly into the distant void.
What surprised Austin more was that numerous creatures' spiritual souls were walking slowly on the
road.
Upon observing these spiritual souls, he realized that they belonged to different races,
including the human race, the beast race, the demon race...
There were so many spiritual souls on the massive road that it seemed impossible to find a place for
anything else.
Austin watched for a while, but the spiritual souls hardly made any progress. They were so slow that a
group of old people could overtake them!
The frown on Austin's face deepened when he noticed that these spiritual souls didn't seem to have
much spiritual senses of their own. Instead, it appeared as though they were driven by instinct to
continue forward.
Meanwhile,
these spiritual souls' mouths opened and closed, not by much, but just enough for them to chant
something almost inaudible.
Austin listened carefully.
"I want to be reincarnated in a new body."
"I want to be incarnated."
"I want to be reborn."
All of the chants that these spiritual souls were reciting were related to reincarnation and rebirth!
"So, this is a road of reincarnation!"
Shock coursed through Austin. Considering everything he had heard and seen, there was no disputing
his inference.
"Well, I'd like to see where these spiritual souls are going to be reincarnated!"
Spurred by his curiosity, Austin decided to follow them in this road of reincarnation.
He used his bodily movement skill to cover large expanses of the road quicker.
However, despite walking for a while,
over half a day by his calculations, Austin still hadn't reached the end of the road.
This further intrigued Austin, whose current bodily movement skill would allow him to travel back and
forth in the Sea of Chaos dozens of times in half a day.
Nevertheless, no matter how long he traveled, the road seemed to have no end.
"I must be patient."
Austin reminded himself as he continued to move forward.
Another half a day passed.
All of a sudden,
he heard some voices coming from ahead.
"The road of reincarnation needs to be destroyed!"
"The reincarnation race has bad intentions as they try to control all the creatures through the road of
reincarnation!"
"The road of reincarnation is a violation of the rules of nature! It forces all the creatures in the universe
to live their lives in a continuous cycle!"
"The reincarnation race is evil. Let's annihilate them!"
"Go ahead!
Break the road of reincarnation! Destroy the reincarnation race!"
Suddenly, a large number of mighty warriors appeared in the void in front of Austin. They emitted
intense auras and used all kinds of fatal skills to attack the road of reincarnation.
"Damn it!
These mighty warriors appear to be gods of chaos!"
Although Austin was far from them, he could clearly feel how powerful and horrible their auras were.
He estimated that these powerful warriors could destroy governing gods with a single strike.
Such terrifyingly mighty warriors could only be gods of chaos!
"Several gods of chaos!
And they have come to destroy the road of reincarnation!"
Even Austin was a little scared.
If they were governing gods, no matter how many or how powerful they were, Austin would have dared
to go forward and challenge them.
He was not afraid of powerful governing gods, not even one as strong as Humphrey.
However, if he challenged a god of chaos, Austin knew that even if he were one hundred times, one
thousand times, or ten thousand times stronger, he would still have no chance of survival.
He would be killed in an instant.
