"Don't be foolish. Of course I know about the black fog.
The black fog is another part of the road of reincarnation,"
Old Lady Meng replied with a smile.
"Hold on just a minute.
The black fog is a part of the road of reincarnation too?" the leader of the Reincarnation Palace asked.
As she looked at Old Lady Meng, her eyes grew wider.
"That's right.
Have you heard of the Death River?"
Old Lady Meng asked.
"Yes.
Of course I've heard of the Death River.
But what does the Death River have to do with the black fog?"
the leader of the Reincarnation Palace questioned.
"Well, the Death River is covered in black fog all year round, and the black fog is Death Fog.
The water in the Death River evaporated, forming the Death Fog,"
Old Lady Meng explained.
"Madam, you're saying that the black fog that envelopes the Death River is the Death Fog?"
Austin asked, feeling excitement rush through him.
'So the Death Fog is a part of the road of reincarnation,' he thought to himself.
"Yeah. It is,"
Old Lady Meng replied, nodding in confirmation.
"I see!"
Now that it had been confirmed, the leader of the Reincarnation Palace, the chaotic sky-devouring
beast, and Armstrong were all caught up.
"Madam, I think I understand. You just told us that you sensed the aura of a fragment of the road of
reincarnation here. I think the Death Fog is what we're looking for.
I think I should just collect the fog,"
Austin said.
"It's true that the Death Fog is a part of the road of reincarnation,
but the Death Fog and the Death River are supposed to always be together.
Because the Death Fog is so dense at the moment, there must be at least one fragment of the Death
River here.
Let's keep moving and look for it,"
Old Lady Meng said.
"What? There are fragments of the Death River here?"
Austin and the others stared at her with open mouths.
Like the Memory Bridge, the legends about the Death River had been widely spread in different space
seas.
Creatures in all the space seas were familiar with the tales, even the mortals.
Back when he had lived on Earth, Austin had heard about the Death River.
Never in his life had he imagined that he would be looking for the fragments of the Death River.
"Okay.
We should continue looking for it!"
Austin exclaimed, rubbing his hands together eagerly.
Meanwhile,
a creature of darkness sauntered into a huge palace located in the depths of the Holy Moon Chaotic
Sea.
"Sir, I'm sorry to report that the two survivors of the reincarnation race have broken into the Black Fog
Valley,"
the creature said to his superior who sat at the end of the hall.
"Well, it makes sense. There is a fragment of the Death River in the Black Fog Valley.
Ever since I took this space sea, I have entered the Black Fog Valley more than once, but I've never
been able to approach the Death River's fragment.
It's surprising that the two survivors of the reincarnation race have spotted it too.
I say that we just let them be.
That way, they will find the fragment of the Death River and bring it out.
Then, we'll ambush them and I'll take it away from them,"
the seated, powerful creature of darkness ordered.
"I got it,"
the creature of darkness who had just come in replied with a nod.
In the meantime,
another group of creatures approached the Holy Moon Chaotic Sea.
"See? The Holy Moon Chaotic Sea is spread out before us.
Legend says that there are fragments of the road of reincarnation found here.
Let's not waste any time. Go in and search,"
a strong man announced.
He turned and looked back at the other creatures behind him. All of them were very young.
A handful of them were from the human race and the rest were from other races.
A faint aura of the law of reincarnation was emitted from each of them.
There were nine creatures in total.
"Yes. If only we find a fragment of the road of reincarnation.
If we do, we will be a step closer to our goal,"
a tall, enchanting woman said.
"Well,
then we need to hurry up and look around,"
a young man clad in white clothes said.
Nodding in agreement, the nine creatures entered the Holy Moon Chaotic Sea.
They traveled in a group as they began looking for the fragments.
"Are you kidding me? There're nine more outsiders and it looks like they are all successors of the
reincarnation race. I can't believe that news we spread on purpose attracted so many of them so fast.
Look at them. They're a group of fools.
It's impossible for them to rebuild the road of reincarnation and make the reincarnation race rise again,"
the seated, powerful creature of darkness in the huge palace growled as he sensed the nine outsiders
with his spiritual sense.
"Send our men and have them follow the nine successors of the reincarnation race.
Just watch them for the time being.
I want to see if more survivors of the reincarnation race will show up.
When I say so, I want you to eliminate them all. But not now; not just yet.
Do I make myself clear?"
the powerful creature of darkness ordered.
Many creatures of darkness received his order.
"Yes, sir!"
they replied obediently.
By now,
Austin and his companions had advanced into the black fog.
Even Austin couldn't perceive things in the distance with the aid of his spiritual sense.
The leader of the Reincarnation Palace, however, couldn't even sense what was around her.
"Madam, if it goes on like this, I won't be able to see anymore. We will get lost,"
Austin said, sighing.
"You've already done a good job getting this far.
I've been testing you.
Don't worry.
The Death Fog is a part of the road of reincarnation, and you are the successors of the reincarnation
race.
The fog will not hurt you,"
Old Lady Meng reassured them with a smile.
"So what should we do?"
Austin asked.
He trusted Old Lady Meng.
'Wait. She said that we are the successors of the reincarnation race. Perhaps that will work.'
Before Old Lady Meng could answer, Austin got an idea.
He quickly released his law of reincarnation and it transformed into chains, extending everywhere like
tentacles.
"It is working!
As long as we use the law of reincarnation, the Death Fog will not limit our spiritual sense. Instead, it
will help us perceive things,"
Austin exclaimed, smiling widely.
"Yes, Austin. You are smart!"
Old Lady Meng said with a satisfied smile.
"Oh,
is that so?"
the leader of the Reincarnation Palace asked, unleashing the law of reincarnation.
She also had a good grasp on the law of reincarnation.
"You are right!"
she exclaimed with joy.
Many law chains reached from her body and flew into the air.
As soon as they were out, she discovered that she could see her surroundings clearly.
Since the chaotic sky-devouring beast and Armstrong had never cultivated the law of reincarnation,
they couldn't perceive anything through the Death Fog.
"Okay, you two. Just follow me,"
Austin said to the chaotic sky-devouring beast and Armstrong.
Now that he could see further in front of him, Austin quickened his pace as they moved forward.
