The infinity beast cared about Austin's safety above all else, so the message he received was like a
wave of relief crashing over him.
He then thought carefully about what Austin had said.
He had actually met a fire source beast!
The infinity beast was shocked.
Although he too was a famous legendary beast in the Absolute Space Sea,
compared with the fire source beasts, he was not that special at all.
The fire source beasts were one of the most widely recognized ancient legendary beasts in the entire
Absolute Space Sea.
They were generally stronger than infinity beasts as well.
"Austin, it's said that although the fire source beasts are incredibly strong, they have the intelligence of
children. Is that true?
How did you manage to befriend one?
Did you persuade and trick it like you would a child?"
The infinity beast was very curious and sent Austin a message as fast as he could.
"Sir, he's not at all like you think.
He was friendly from the moment I met him.
Perhaps he and I were destined to become friends.
He's actually quite innocent. I do not think it's fair to compare him to a child.
He's just simple-minded, but he is not stupid. In fact, he's quite smart when it comes to combat,"
Austin replied through the jade slip.
He recalled the fight between the fire source beast, the nine leaders of the Time Chamber Sect, and
the demon guards of darkness. He had not seen the beast as unintelligent in the slightest.
When he fought, he chose to pick off the weaker ones first, separating them and crushing them
individually. His tactics were quite brilliant.
"I see.
You are very lucky.
Making friends with a fire source beast is fantastic. It is going to prove really helpful for you.
You know, countless masters have dreamed of subduing such a beast, but never managed it.
And here you've even got him willing to teach you the fire controlling skill. You must seize this
opportunity and take this cultivation seriously.
The fire source beasts have the best fire-controlling skill of all!
When you succeed in mastering the skill to control the sacred fires, you will make an enormous leap in
your combat effectiveness. This is an opportunity like no other,"
said the infinity beast through his spiritual sense.
"Yes, sir. Do not worry. I will do all I can to practice it to the best of my abilities,"
Austin replied.
"Well, I'm relieved you're safe and well.
I'm going to head back to the Fallen Divine Valley and inform your master of your situation so that he
can rest easy.
I came here at his request.
He's been worried about you lately,"
the infinity beast revealed.
"Well, thank you very much, sir. I appreciate you coming,"
Austin responded.
The infinity beast then quietly slipped away.
In the Eight Fires Valley, Austin continued learning the fire-controlling skill from the fire source beast.
At that very moment.
In a lair of the darkness race...
Endless dark energy spread out over everything.
Three figures sat in one of the massive palaces.
They were the three Lords of Darkness.
In front of them sat a very old wizard.
It was none other than Cain, the most senior wizard of the darkness race.
"Cain, do you think you can help us figure out exactly how strong the fire source beast in the Eight
Fires Valley is?
And when would be the best time for us to make a move on him?
Pick a time for us, and use your wisdom to guide us,"
said one of the Lords of Darkness.
"Oh?
Are you three planning to deal with that fire source beast?"
Cain was a little shocked by what he had heard.
"Yes. The three of us intend on going to the Eight Fires Valley at some point to subdue that beast and
make him serve our darkness race.
Having a fire source beast on our race's side will greatly enhance our strength and make us truly
formidable.
But we've never dealt with this sort of beast before. We've only heard tales and a boasted reputation,
but we do not know the actual strength of the fire source beasts.
Can you help us deduce that, to better inform our decisions and plans of action?"
asked one of the Lords of Darkness.
"I'll get right to it and see what I can do."
Cain waved his hand and an altar flew out from his sleeve, landing in front of him. It instantly grew
larger, turning into a mountainous altar, floating in the space.
His huge figure flashed away, and the next moment, he was sitting on the altar with his legs crossed,
beginning his deduction.
Laws of space and time burst out from the altar underneath him and scattered into the surrounding
space.
The three Lords of Darkness waited patiently.
Time was infinite for them. More than anyone else, they could afford to wait, no matter how long they
had to.
At the same time, the remaining eight leaders of the Time Chamber Sect were now also discussing the
same matter.
In the headquarters of the Time Chamber Sect.
"How did your talk with the Lords of Darkness go?"
Bartholomew asked Solomon.
"It went very well of course.
The darkness race was happy to cooperate with us to take care of the reincarnation race.
Everyone seems well aware that the reincarnation race lives on, despite seemingly being destroyed by
the darkness race. There are still many members of that pitiful race lurking around.
The reincarnation race has forever plotted to reconstruct the road of reincarnation and let their race rise
again.
Over the years, there have been many successors of the race searching for the fragments of the road
of reincarnation throughout the Absolute Space Sea.
Every one of these successors had at least one elder behind them in support.
Those elders are cunning, never revealing themselves. Instead, they trained these successors and
made them look for the fragments of the road of reincarnation.
When the opportunity is ripe, the elders will without a doubt reveal themselves and fight the darkness
race again.
And so naturally, the Lords of Darkness welcomed the opportunity to become our ally,"
Solomon said, clearly laying out the situation they were in.
"Good."
The other leaders nodded with pleasure after hearing Solomon's analysis.
"But keep in mind that the main purpose of our alignment with the darkness race is to deal with Austin!
That is the most important thing!"
Solomon growled.
"Yes of course."
The rest nodded in understanding.
"I have gathered you all here because there is one more thing I wish to discuss with you,"
Solomon continued.
"What's the matter?"
The other leaders looked at Solomon curiously.
