At that very moment,
deep in the core area of the Abyss of Darkness,
countless tents were densely packed with occupants. For the time being, they were functioning as
temporary shelters.
An unprecedented number of creatures had moved into this area which did not have the capacity to
accommodate such an influx.
In one of the tents sat eight figures with sharp auras. Each of them had a ferocious expression, but at
the same time there were also worried looks on their faces.
If Austin were here, he would immediately recognize that these eight figures were the eight supreme
leaders of the eight branches of pilgrims. But for now, they remained anonymous.
"When can we stage our counterattack?
The boredom is killing me, just staying here all day long!"
King Yates complained with a grimace on his face. He was the most arrogant in the group. Being stuck
in one place all day long was something that he was not used to.
"Well, the livestock race is very powerful and not to be underestimated. What could we use to launch
counter attacks to them?"
King Tobian said in a hushed and disapproving voice.
"He's right.
I know that this isn't something that we are used to, but we must be patient and wait for the best time to
counterattack. Otherwise, we could end up losing a lot!
The livestock race is indeed too powerful for us to deal with, though I'd hate to admit it.
We are still too weak, unfortunately.
I think we'd better stay here for the time being and concentrate on improving and developing our skills.
When we have enough confidence and strength, we can launch our counterattack.
Otherwise, with our current strength, the losses and consequences will be unimaginable if we take
action recklessly,"
King Lionel added lightly with his eyebrows knitted.
"I also agree.
It makes total sense.
King Yates, may I remind you of what happened in the past? Have you forgotten?
We had been in a war with the livestock race for decades. But, the eight of us were defeated most of
the time. That is the sole reason that we have escaped into the Abyss of Darkness."
King Edmund joined in, nodding in agreement.
For a moment, the group just sat there in silence, deeply contemplating.
Even King Yates didn't say anything more. He was clearly outnumbered and it made no sense to retort
anymore.
He also knew that the eight branches of pilgrims were underdogs compared to the livestock race. He
was no fool, after all.
If they insisted on launching a counterattack, it would only end up in failure or worse, death!
"Forget it. Let's put up with it for a while then.
The most important thing for us now, is to enhance our strength.
Strength is key and is everything for now.
If we don't have enough strength, it'll be utterly useless to fight back,"
King Tobian sighed helplessly.
"It is true that the eight of us are already governing gods.
But that is far from enough.
The livestock race has dozens of governing gods by now,
while there are only eight of us being the governing gods on our side.
That I think, is the main reason why it is impossible to defeat them,"
King Lionel sighed in frustration.
"Well, we must take it slow.
It's not that easy for just anyone to break through and become a governing god, after all,"
King Tobian agreed further.
"Well, let's go back and practice harder then."
After the frustrating discussion, they all planned to go back to their own tents.
At that moment,
while they were all getting ready to leave,
a middle-aged man hurried in and reported in a panicked voice,
"Bad news!
Bad news!
The army of the livestock race is all gathering and heading for the Abyss of Darkness, right now!
This time, almost all the members of the livestock race have come out! I hurried back as soon as I
spotted them!"
"What? Are you sure?" Upon hearing the report,
the eight supreme leaders were shocked and stood up immediately.
"Damn it!
Well, we have no choice now. We have to fight them with all that we've got!"
King Yates roared. Endless terrifying energy erupted from his body. His fighting spirit started boiling
and he was about to rush out.
Everyone knew that the Yaksha Branch was the most belligerent and irritable among the eight
branches.
"King Yates, calm down. Don't be impulsive.
Don't expose our whereabouts because of your emotions and reckless behavior!"
King Tobian shouted, trying to stop King Yates from acting rashly and heading out recklessly.
The other several supreme leaders all rushed to stop him as well.
"King Yates, once you go out to fight, the livestock race will find out where we are right now. We don't
want that to happen.
It will compromise everyone's safety and will get all of us killed!"
King Lionel urged King Yates.
"Give out the order now!
Tell all the people to pack up and get ready to move to another place immediately!
In addition, send a minimal squad just to hold down the army of the livestock race and buy us enough
time to escape!
Remember, never, ever expose the whereabouts of our army no matter what happens!"
King Tobian ordered without wasting another second.
Among the eight supreme leaders, King Tobian was the wisest and had the highest authority.
No one dared to disobey his orders.
At this moment, King Yates had finally calmed down.
Immediately, the eight branches of pilgrims began to pack up and prepare to move to another place.
At that same moment,
outside the Abyss of Darkness,
Austin, the chaotic sky-devouring beast and hundreds of primitive gifted beasts were walking in the
front.
Right behind them were several governing gods of the livestock race,
followed by their massive army.
With thundering steps that made the void shake, the army strode toward the Abyss of Darkness.
Austin's spiritual sense had already locked in on the governing gods of the livestock race. If they
wanted to escape, Austin could immediately detect it and kill them.
In addition, for added security and control, he had also set up several arrays around them.
The arrays could move continuously in the void and cast very brilliant light around them.
At Austin's realm, it was easy for him to set up any array like that.
It did not take long before
the army reached the outskirts of the Abyss of Darkness.
Peering into the entrance, Austin couldn't help but think of the time when he had traveled and trained
inside the abyss and complex feelings surged in his heart.
At that time, his opponents were all at the Heaven Immortal Realm and it was quite a challenge for him.
Now, after years of cultivation and improvement of his power and strength, the warriors at that realm
were just as weak as insects.
'Hmm!
I wonder if the little infinity beast is still inside the abyss,'
he murmured silently as he remembered the little infinity beast.
This time, Austin's purpose of entering the Divine Being's World was to actually search for it.
Austin immediately extended his spiritual sense to explore the Abyss of Darkness.
His spiritual sense was so powerful that he could see the situation in the core area of the abyss with
ease.
Immediately, he noticed something strange.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Mysterious energy and law chains suddenly rose from the depths and floated to the surface, repelling
Austin's spiritual sense.
He noticed that his spiritual sense began retreating.
'These feel familiar! Are these...'
Austin was beyond shocked at this realization.
The energy and law that were blocking Austin from exploring further were the reincarnation energy and
the law of reincarnation. However, they were slightly different from those that Austin had practiced and
comprehended before!
'How amazing is this?
Does this mean that the Abyss of Darkness has something to do with the reincarnation race?'
Austin continued to be shocked and surprised.
'In each of the Six Worlds of Reincarnation, there is a Millstone of Reincarnation in the sky above the
massive continent. And now, here in the Abyss of Darkness, there is a rich source of reincarnation
energy and the law of reincarnation...'
Austin thought to himself.
'This is great!
I just need to find the little infinity beast. After that I am going to study the Six Worlds of Reincarnation
carefully.
They must have a deep and long-lasting relationship with the reincarnation race!'
With that thought, he turned back and spoke to the governing gods of the livestock race.
"Okay, listen up!
Send the troops in right now to find out the whereabouts of the eight branches of pilgrims!"
"No problem. We are all ready,"
they all answered respectfully with a nod.
They were well aware that their lives were in the hands of this young man and they could no longer
disobey his orders.
