At that very moment, Elder Sergei stopped in his tracks.
His eyes widened, his jaw dropped, and his face suddenly got drained of color.
He had been thinking all this time that no matter how powerful the young man in front of him was, there
was no way he could be stronger than the governing gods.
However, he just realized that he was wrong.
It seemed to him that even if others called Austin weak, none of the governing gods of his race would
be a match for him.
"Sir, in all honesty, this has all been a misunderstanding.
If I had known that you were this powerful, I wouldn't have ever dared to provoke you," Elder Sergei
cried out. Standing before Austin, he felt his body become paralyzed.
The horror of not being able to move freely on his own had emptied his chances of winning against the
young man, so he spoke to Austin with the utmost respect.
Of course, his fear was justified. Killing him was a piece of cake for Austin, after all.
"Tch. Really? A misunderstanding?
You must be joking.
You see, I don't think there is any misunderstanding at all.
You were so cocky just now. Clearly, you wanted me to die.
Now tell me, how is that a misunderstanding?" Austin uttered flatly as he stared Elder Sergei down.
"Oh, no. No, sir! I was wrong. I made a mistake. I know that now!
Please, sir. Spare my life!"
Out of despair, Elder Sergei stripped himself of his dignity and knelt down before Austin's eyes.
"Oh?"
Austin did not expect what just happened. Apparently, this livestock race was no different from other
ordinary races. They were all afraid of being bullied by the strong.
"Get up, Sergei! How can you so easily fall to your knees?
You are a disgrace to our race!" one of the governing gods of the livestock race barked furiously.
"You don't know what you're talking about!
This young man's strength is too terrifying.
If I don't do this, I will lose my life!" Elder Sergei retorted. His face looked sad and gloomy.
Although hearing the sulky elder's reply infuriated the governing god, he had nothing to say in return.
"Listen, young man. You'd better not kill any members of our livestock race. Otherwise, I will tell you
now that you won't have a place in the Six Worlds of Reincarnation.
Don't take my word lightly," one of the governing gods said as he threatened Austin with his sharp
gazes.
"Oh, really?
I hope you're not just all talk,"
Austin retorted as he let out a mocking smirk.
Immediately after, Austin waved his hand.
This governing god was putting on airs before him, so he wanted to see what he had got.
"Come here,"
Austin said in a calm voice.
As soon as Austin's words rang in his ears, the governing god who spoke just now found that his body
was completely stuck in a terrifying Time and Space Array without him even realizing it. His body was
completely frozen that he couldn't even lift a finger.
It turned out that Austin had sneakily set up several Time and Space Arrays around the governing gods
to suppress them.
These governing gods were just ordinary ones, and thus there was no way for them to resist Austin's
Time and Space Array.
In the past, even Austin himself had a hard time breaking out of a Time and Space Array when he first
fought with Donovan.
Hence, if a governing god was trapped in it, it was almost certain that he wouldn't be able to get out of
it.
At Austin's command, the body of the governing god moved towards him.
"I-impossible!
What trick is this?!"
The governing god was panic-stricken. He was in utter disbelief that he was easily restrained by the
young man.
Earlier, when he witnessed how Austin restrained Elder Sergei, he wasn't too impressed.
He just presumed that the elder was too weak that he couldn't overcome the young man.
However, now that he found himself in the same situation, he was totally humiliated. He had no
strength to resist at all.
"Damn this bastard!"
"Attack him! Don't let him get away!"
The other governing gods quickly made their move and rushed towards Austin one after another in an
attempt to save the governing god who was trapped in the Time and Space Array.
However, no matter what omnipotent skills they used, and no matter how many of them attacked,
everything was rendered useless.
In the blink of an eye, the body of the governing god flew in front of Austin.
"So, what do you have to say for yourself now? Where did all your arrogance from before went?"
Austin sneered and taunted the governing god who looked pretty helpless.
At the same time, the governing god trembled in front of Austin. He wanted to say something but he
was at a loss for words.
Finally, he admitted to himself that the young man was much stronger than any of them, and if they
continued to offend him, it would cost them their lives.
"Sir! I'm begging you. Have mercy on us!"
Elder Sergei shouted in a cracking voice. Seeing that the governing god couldn't even utter a word
because of shock, he had to step in to beg for his life.
He experienced the dreadful power of the young man himself. Thus, he knew that he could finish them
off at his whims.
"Young man, I now admit my mistake...
We will do anything you want us to do. Just spare us," the restrained governing god said in a soft voice
as he trembled in fear.
"Fine. At last, you know your place.
Are you ready to answer my questions now?"
Austin spoke, staring at the governing god with a devious smile.
"Ask me anything, sir. I'll tell you everything I know!"
Elder Sergei answered without hesitation.
In the distance, all of the other governing gods just kept quiet as they gritted their teeth.
There was nothing they could do at this point but to obey the young man, since they knew that they
wouldn't be able to stand their ground against him.
With his current strength, Austin could subdue an ordinary governing god with just a simple wave of his
hand. Therefore, before him, all these governing gods didn't impose a hint of threat.
Although these governing gods were arrogant, they were not stupid. Hence, when they knew that they
were certainly not a match for the young man, they didn't dare to provoke him any further.
They just shut their mouths and swallowed their pride.
"Where are the eight branches of pilgrims?"
Austin asked with a straight face.
"Sir, currently, most of the eight branches of pilgrims have escaped into the Abyss of Darkness.
While a small part of them are scattered in various parts of the Divine Being Continent,"
Elder Sergei answered quickly.
"Really?
I thought this continent was under the rule of the eight branches of pilgrims in the past.
What happened?" Austin inquired.
"Let me answer this question,"
the restrained governing god insisted.
"Within the Six Worlds of Reincarnation, there are six continents.
Previously, these six continents were being restricted by a mysterious force.
It means that the creatures that reside in one of those continents can't come into contact with the
creatures from the other ones.
However, later on, the Six Worlds of Reincarnation were suddenly upgraded and became a supreme
universe.
At the same time, the creatures in the six continents found out that they could now freely communicate
with each other.
But because of this, a fierce war took place.
The army of the livestock race came to the Divine Being Continent and went into war with the eight
branches of pilgrims.
After decades of endless war, our livestock race has finally gained the upper hand, eventually forcing
the eight branches of pilgrims to flee towards the Abyss of Darkness,"
the governing god explained in detail.
"Oh, I see.
Right after the Six Worlds of Reincarnation became a supreme universe, a war broke out.
Then, it led to the current situation," Austin recounted.
"Yes, sir.
That is correct," the governing god affirmed.
"Not only the livestock race engaged in a war against the eight branches of pilgrims. The other four
continents also went into war with each other.
The Humanity Continent, the Asura Continent, the Hungry Ghost Continent, and the Hell Continent are
all in a battle royal.
Until now, the bloody wars are still going on," Elder Sergei added.
