"It's about that fire source beast,"
said Solomon.
"What do you mean? Do you want us to find the fire source beast that killed Emory?"
Musa asked, a little incredulous.
"I understand how frustrated you must feel about Emory's death, but we have to be wise about our
decisions—we can't let our anger rule our judgment!
Avenging him will be difficult since the fire source beast has never left the Eight Fires Valley ever since
our fight. As long as he's in there, his power is exponential. Exacting our revenge needs more thorough
planning,"
Benicio coaxed, trying to inject some sense into Solomon.
"Yes, the fire source beast's strength is beyond us, and he can control the eight sacred fires. We are no
match for him—his intervention with our quest to catch Austin threw off our plans."
The other leaders of the Time Chamber Sect still had a lingering trauma. The mere thought of the battle
that took place in the Eight Fires Valley would immediately send shivers down their spine.
How could they seek revenge on the fire source beast?
"Guys, you are missing my point!
I'm not asking you to exact revenge right then and there on that beast!" Solomon interjected. He
patiently rubbed his temples and continued,
"I see what you mean. The fire source beast is indeed beyond us. Even our united forces would not be
enough to topple him over. In fact, there's a chance that he is on par with the three Lords of Darkness.
Hence, we have come up with a better plan—we are going to subdue the fire source beast."
As soon as Solomon laid out the plan, the other leaders immediately objected and demanded answers.
"We? Who do you mean by 'we'?
Who can subdue that fire source beast? It's obvious that none of us can!"
Various statements from the other seven leaders got buried in each other's words. All of them had
something to say.
"Solomon! That's preposterous. We can't even defeat the fire source beast, how much more if we dare
subdue him! Plus, he is with Austin!
What you're asking for is basically a suicide mission!"
Benicio's voice stood out among the leaders.
The rest nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, we've been through this discussion already. Of course I know how difficult it would be.
Especially if we do it alone." Solomon dismissed the other's clamors as he rolled his eyes.
Then, his eyes suddenly twinkled mischievously.
"But, I have good news for you.
I went to the holy building not too long ago. In its altar, I received a message from our old leader.
He said he and several other leaders would come back soon.
Naturally, I told him about the fire source beast through the altar.
Our old leader advised that I should keep a close eye on the fire source beast from now on.
The first thing he will do as soon as he comes is to subdue the fire source beast in the Eight Fires
Valley.
So, for the meantime, our task is to closely monitor the actions of that despicable beast,"
said Solomon through gritted teeth.
"What? They're
coming back soon?
Is it true?"
The other leaders were in a state of disbelief. Their voices trembled from excitement. At long last, they
felt like there was a light at the end of the tunnel. They had been grieving Emory's death since the
encounter with the fire source beast. Finally, they had a way to retaliate.
It turned out that these leaders were not the supreme commanders of the Time Chamber Sect.
There were several old leaders who were the real commanders and the top masters of the Time
Chamber Sect.
However, eons back, the elders left the sect, and no one knew where they had gone.
Since then, the incumbent nine leaders of the Time Chamber Sect had managed the sect together.
"Absolutely true!"
Solomon confirmed, his face serious and resolute.
"This is great news!"
The other leaders felt excited and hopeful.
"Once our elders come back, our strength would undeniably soar!"
"That's right!
The old leaders of our sect are as powerful as the three Lords of Darkness.
If they personally give that beast a visit, our victory is certain!"
"Exactly!
Before they left, I heard one of the old leaders mentioned that they were going to explore a mysterious
cave!
That mysterious cave must contain great opportunities!
Now that these old leaders are coming back, it must mean that they have obtained whatever treasure
was to be found in that cave.
If that's the case, then the strength of our elders must have been greatly improved!
What if they're stronger than the three Lords of Darkness now? That could be possible!"
Arundel, the fifth leader, enthusiastically shared.
At the thought of this, the seven other leaders danced with joy.
"When the old leaders come back and subdue that fire source beast, we will become a real big force in
the Absolute Space Sea from then on!
A super powerful force like the darkness race!"
Solomon ejected as he imagined the Time Chamber Sect growing powerful.
"That's right!"
The other sect leaders nodded, their hearts excited and hopeful.
Meanwhile,
in an abandoned space sea of the Absolute Space Sea,
a towering palace stood in the space.
On the plaque of the palace it read, "Reincarnation Palace."
Inside the palace was a gigantic universe that housed a vast space.
Inside it was a manicured green lawn where three old men were sitting at a stone table.
They were the three remnant souls of the three Lords of Reincarnation.
Austin had entered this place before, and he had cultivated for a period of time under the guidance of
the three Lords of Reincarnation.
At the moment, Austin's companions from the reincarnation race were cultivating in this particular
universe.
"I can't believe it! Austin's strength has grown so much in just a short period of time.
Back then, Winston was known for his remarkable ability in training people in their cultivation. Each of
the disciples he taught became very powerful. He really deserved his reputation,"
one of the Lords of Reincarnation commended.
"Indeed. Austin alone dared to provoke the darkness race and the Time Chamber Sect, and destroyed
so many strongholds of these two forces. His performance was indeed amazing.
If Austin had stayed here and cultivated with us, he wouldn't have made such big progress,"
another Lord of Reincarnation echoed.
"But what really surprised me is Austin's extreme luck.
Can you imagine that? He actually befriended a fire source beast!
What's more, the fire source beast helped him deal with the nine leaders of the Time Chamber Sect
and the demon guards of darkness,"
the third Lord of Reincarnation complimented.
"Yes, this young man is indeed powerful and blessed."
The other two Lords of Reincarnation nodded in agreement.
"What a shame!
The three of us, as the supreme commanders of the reincarnation race, haven't done anything useful in
the past few years. Instead, we have asked several young people to help us to collect the fragments of
the road of reincarnation,"
one of the Lords of Reincarnation despondently commented.
The other two fell silent.
"Recently, I have sent someone to investigate things in the Absolute Space Sea.
I think it's time for us, the reincarnation race, to reappear. It's about time our race rose from ashes.
The time has come,"
the Lord of Reincarnation continued.
