"Okay, I have been planning this for a long time,"
the little infinity beast nodded.
"I have some friends here. I'd like to say goodbye to them before I leave,"
the little infinity beast added.
"All right. Go ahead,"
Austin said, nodding.
Without delay, the little infinity beast morphed into a beam of light. It quickly darted away, eager to bid
his friends goodbye.
"Young man, come to me."
Austin suddenly heard the voice of the old man clad in a yellow robe in his Soul Sea.
Austin used his bodily movement skill and headed toward the direction of the old man.
A moment later, Austin found himself atop a small, beautiful mountain.
He took in the view, savoring the fresh air.
There was a pavilion on the top of the mountain. The old man in yellow was sitting in it, his expression
calm and serene.
"Sir."
Austin walked into the pavilion and greeted the old man politely.
"I believe I haven't introduced myself properly. I am Domino, the sixth god of reincarnation,"
the old man said, introducing himself to Austin.
"It is an honor to meet you, sir,"
Austin replied.
He had already guessed who the old man might be.
He heard the way Sousa talked to him.
"Sir, may I ask you something about the road of reincarnation?"
Austin asked, getting straight to the point.
Among all mysteries of the reincarnation race, Austin wanted to know the road of reincarnation the
most.
In fact, Austin had gained some information about the road of reincarnation from Sousa.
However, he wanted to know more. What he had learned was not enough.
"Austin, Sousa must have already told you a little bit about the road of reincarnation, right?
Actually, what I know is almost the same as what Sousa knows.
The road of reincarnation was a passage that creatures under heaven could use to achieve
reincarnation after death.
The spiritual souls of all living beings could walk through the entire road of reincarnation. When they
got to the end, they were given the chance to live again.
The road of reincarnation was a symbol of hope for all the creatures.
It was also the most basic order in every world,"
Domino explained to Austin.
"As gods of reincarnation, we were chosen to protect the road of reincarnation. It is our duty,"
Domino continued.
"Oh?
You were chosen, sir?
Who chose you?
Are there any beings who are at a higher level than you?"
Austin was so stunned by what the old man had said. He couldn't help but be curious.
"The gods of reincarnation were handpicked.
When we were still very weak, the road of reincarnation itself picked us.
From that point on, we were trained and equipped with the skills we need to protect the road of
reincarnation.
Whether or not there are beings higher than us, I do not know.
We only know that we have been trained by the road of reincarnation, and we are only loyal to it,"
Domino explained.
"The road of reincarnation handpicked and trained you?
Did the road of reincarnation have a consciousness like we do?"
It was the first time that Austin had ever heard of such a thing. He was astonished.
"The road of reincarnation had a consciousness, of course. It had its own mind, and it knew what it
wanted.
Moreover, it possessed a great power.
Everybody knows that the gods of reincarnation are powerful. However, we were nothing compared to
the road of reincarnation,"
Domino said, his tone becoming more excited.
"I've never heard of this before!"
Austin exclaimed.
"If it was as powerful as you said, who destroyed it all those years back?
Who would be capable of doing such a thing? I can't imagine who would be more powerful than the
road of reincarnation in that case!"
Austin asked, extremely curious.
"Alas. It is a sad tale. The road of reincarnation was shattered because there were traitors among the
gods of reincarnation. There were many of them who rose up against the road of reincarnation, and
they worked together to destroy it.
The traitors had colluded with the creatures of darkness, and they launched a surprise attack against
the road of reincarnation. In the end, they won,"
Domino said to Austin, his face morose.
"The creatures of darkness?
What exactly were the creatures of darkness you mentioned?"
Austin asked curiously.
"The creatures of darkness were special.
They didn't need to be in the cycle of reincarnation to sustain.
They were bred through extraordinary ways, and they were malevolent spirits.
They wanted to rule all the space seas and eliminate all the other races.
They dreamed of wiping out all other living beings until they were the only ones that were left. They
were hell-bent on killing all those who stood in their way.
However, as long as the road of reincarnation existed, nobody could really die. They all had the chance
to live again.
That's why the creatures of darkness turned against the road of reincarnation,"
Domino explained further.
"That's unreasonable!"
Austin was appalled.
"Back then, in order to protect the road of reincarnation, the gods of reincarnation had fought in
countless battles against the creatures of darkness.
We always had the upper hand.
However, the creatures of darkness conspired to get their way. They caused rifts between us, and they
succeeded in tearing us apart.
In turn, many of the gods of reincarnation betrayed the road of reincarnation.
A terrible, bloody battle ensued. We were on the losing side, but we fought valiantly. However, all of our
efforts were for nothing. We lost in the end. They attacked us from the inside, and they tore us apart
completely.
The road of reincarnation had been shattered by the ruler of those dark creatures during that terrible,
bloody battle.
From that day forward, the road of reincarnation no longer existed,"
Domino said.
"I understand, sir,"
Austin said, nodding.
Austin's knowledge on the road of reincarnation deepened.
"Sir, you said you were on the losing side. If the creatures of darkness won... why do we not see them
or hear of them?
Are they in hiding?
Shouldn't they be ruling everything by now?"
Austin asked.
"Although nearly all members of the reincarnation race had been killed, the creatures of darkness paid
the same price for their victory.
When the road of reincarnation was shattered, it set off a huge explosion. The energy from the
explosion trapped and imprisoned their ruler.
Both sides had been badly hurt in that terrible bloody fight. Both races nearly became extinct,"
Domino replied.
"I see.
That's why their presence is not felt today,"
Austin said, nodding his head.
"However, there is something you must remember.
The creatures of darkness are still different from us.
The road of reincarnation was completely destroyed. We lost the thing that was most important to us.
On the other hand, their ruler was just sealed away,
and is still alive.
I have no doubt that one day, their ruler will break free from the imprisonment.
When that time comes, I do not know who can fight against that horrible creature."
Recalling what had happened in the past, Domino could not help but let out a sigh. A worried
expression came to his face.
"Is the ruler of the creatures of darkness very powerful?"
Austin asked.
"Of course.
As for cultivators at your strength, their ruler could kill thousands people like you with one strike!"
Domino said with a terrified expression.
