Austin knitted his eyebrows.
"Then, do you know where Humphrey went?
Or, perhaps you have an idea to which area he was headed?"
Austin asked.
"Forgive us sir, we really don't know. Besides, it's impossible that he would tell us.
However, we do know the direction he was going in when left the Sea of Chaos,"
one of the creatures replied, trying his best to be helpful.
"Great! Then tell me, which way? Which direction?"
A glimmer of hope flashed through Austin's eyes.
"He went that way."
That creature pointed to a certain spot in the distance.
At the same time, the law of time and space flew out of his hand and expanded.
The creature who was now helping Austin was in fact, a divine god. He had a certain cultivation base in
terms of the time and space law.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to point out a clear direction in the chaotic void
as the inner workings of time and space were extremely complicated.
"I see."
Austin nodded to the creature and looked at the same direction.
'In other words, a precious egg of the chaotic sky-devouring beast
is somewhere out of the Sea of Chaos and locating it starts from this direction.
This egg may be the very reason why Humphrey left the Sea of Chaos this time,'
Austin thought to himself. He was almost certain of his conclusion.
'Oh, right!
I remember, that's probably also the place where Humphrey acquired the body of the chaotic sky-
devouring beast!
Way back in the past, when Humphrey first appeared in the Sea of Chaos, he didn't have this body.
After a certain period of cultivation in seclusion, he came to have an extraordinary body of the chaotic
sky-devouring beast. He was eager to show it around when he came back,'
Austin suddenly thought of this. How could he almost forget?
'I guess a chaotic sky-devouring beast left two eggs there,
and one of them has been taken by Humphrey.
Now, he wants to deal with the other one!'
"I'm pretty certain that, that is the case!"
With such a realization, Austin couldn't help but exclaim in a muffled voice.
'Humphrey needs only one of the chaotic sky-devouring beast's bodies to enable him with such
powerful strength.
If by any chance he is able to get an extra one, the situation would be much more terrifying!'
Austin frowned at the thought.
'Okay fine.
For now, I will have to try and follow his tracks and see if I can find that place.
If I do find it, then I could stop him and get the other egg myself!'
Austin came up with this idea.
Had this happened in the past, he wouldn't have had the ability to know where Humphrey was headed
to.
Now, the situation was different. Austin's cultivation base, relative to the law of reincarnation, was much
higher than before.
He was confident that if he went the same way as Humphrey when he left the Sea of Chaos, he could
pin-point Humphrey's exact whereabouts.
'Okay! That's it!'
Austin made up his mind.
Given his abilities, wherever he went, he had no need to fear anybody or anything.
"Well, I think we're done here. You can all leave now."
Austin waved the dozens of creatures away.
"If you want, you can also go back to the underworld.
Master Stanford has entrusted you with all the skills he had cultivated. When you get back, you'd better
work hard to cultivate and try to improve your strength. If you could do that as soon as possible, that
would be great!
In the future, we will need to work together to rebuild the road of reincarnation,"
Austin said to the nine governing gods of the underworld.
"Don't worry, we understand. And yes we will work on our cultivation immediately,"
The nine governing gods bowed to Austin respectfully, and then turned around to leave.
Austin had no reason to stay so he set off and returned to the Fallen Divine Valley.
As soon as he arrived, he headed straight to the square in the depths of the valley.
Then Austin told his master everything that occurred to him in past years, including the fact that he had
become the successor of the reincarnation race.
"Well, Austin, I already knew what happened to you,"
the statue master said, without a hint of surprise.
"The road of reincarnation has indeed been shattered, scattering in all directions and all different space
seas.
I actually witnessed that battle with my very own eyes.
From what I saw, it was much too terrifying. At least half of the gods of chaos who participated lost their
lives in that battle.
The reincarnation race was very powerful in the past, but the enemies had been plotting this attack for
a long time to deal with them. Therefore, they set up endless kinds of schemes and sent a large
number of soldiers to attack the race.
Not surprisingly, in the end, the reincarnation race was defeated and the road of reincarnation was also
destroyed."
The statue master sighed softly.
"Master, you said that you saw the battle with your own eyes!"
Austin was surprised since his master had never mentioned this to him, not even once.
"Yes, although I didn't participate directly in that battle, I observed it clearly from my location, from the
very beginning until the end.
I still remember every detail, even the minor ones,"
the statue master replied, somewhat proudly.
"Master, could you please tell me something about the road of reincarnation, the reincarnation race,
and the battle which destroyed the road?"
Austin asked.
For a very long time, Austin had been filled with a gnawing curiosity about the road of reincarnation. He
wanted to know everything, down to the last detail.
"To be honest, I do know something about them,
but Austin, you have to be aware that there are quite a number of things that I can't really discuss.
Upon reaching a certain realm such as mine, every move we do and every word we say, can very
easily blend with the time and space accordingly. They will even be engraved into the time and space
and become a part of it.
When reaching the level of the god of chaos, we are closely related to time, space and everything that
exists.
Naturally, there are a number of taboos as well as important topics that we can't casually refer to.
Otherwise, it would cause resonance throughout the entire space,
and could easily be sensed by other gods of chaos.
In other words, if I tell you the truth about what you want, I'm certain that my enemy will soon sense it
and use it.
He could know where I am exactly and come to the Fallen Divine Valley in the blink of an eye just to kill
me.
If that happened, not only the Fallen Divine Valley, but also the entire Sea of Chaos would instantly be
reduced into ashes.
That's not what you would want, do you?"
the statue master explained further.
"You are right. That indeed makes sense,"
Austin remarked.
"Yes.
That's it.
You may now say whatever you want about the road of reincarnation and the reincarnation race
since you are still at a low realm.
But in my case, I still need to pay attention to my words,"
the statue master said with a bitter smile.
"Well, master, I think I can handle it for now. I won't ask anything anymore.
I'm sure that I can explore it myself,"
Austin replied sincerely and reassuringly.
"Master, did you know that Humphrey leave the Sea of Chaos most probably for the other egg of the
chaotic sky-devouring beast?"
Austin asked.
"I have seen it in my deduction!
There is indeed a place in the chaotic void outside the Sea of Chaos where two eggs of the chaotic
sky-devouring beast existed.
And one of them has been occupied by Humphrey!
Now, he has gone to take the other egg.
Austin, do you really want to stop him?"
the statue master asked.
'Damn! He does know everything! The god of chaos is really omniscient!'
Austin couldn't help but marvel secretly.
"Yes, master. I do want to stop him."
Austin nodded with a determined look.
