"Do not forget that the three of us are key to the reincarnation race's revival.
The darkness race has three Lords of Darkness. The Time Chamber Sect has several strong old
leaders, as well as some other forces, all with powerful masters guarding their strongholds. Although
we still have a few people hiding in different places, our three real bodies have not yet returned.
Right now, it seems foolish to let the people of our reincarnation race come out of hiding,"
said another Lord of Reincarnation.
These words left the other two lords silent.
They knew he was right and so could not deny it.
If any force wanted to rise in the Absolute Space Sea, it needed masters with powerful combat
effectiveness to lead them.
If they didn't have any top-level masters, no matter how many mid-level warriors they had, there was
little chance they would ever be a truly powerful force to be reckoned with.
It was worse for the reincarnation race that they had a great enemy waiting to put them back down; the
darkness race. They needed to be more cautious than most.
"You're absolutely right. If we were to fall, there would not be much hope left for the reincarnation race."
A long while later, the other two Lords of Reincarnation sighed deeply and dejectedly.
"I have been trying to reach my real body for years, but I've had no success.
All I have is a vague feeling that it's alive, but I have no idea where it is or what sort of situation it's in,"
said a Lord of Reincarnation.
"Yes, I feel the same,"
the other two Lords agreed.
"We can't stay here forever. How about this, one of us stays here as guard while the other two head out
to look for our real bodies?
Those youngsters of our race have already managed to gather a lot of pieces of the road of
reincarnation.
As far as I know. Austin alone has dozens of fragments, and the complete Memory Bridge with him.
Besides him, the other successors have also collected a lot of pieces.
What's more, many of them have grown rapidly; some have even broken through to become gods of
chaos.
A large number of them are powerful and talented just like Austin.
We have accumulated a great deal of strength in recent years and I think we're in a good position to
rise once more.
All we need is for our three real bodies to return.
That is top priority, before we think about any other course of action,"
said a Lord of Reincarnation, thinking out loud.
"I agree."
"Me too."
The other two Lords of Reincarnation nodded their agreement.
"In that case, let's set off immediately.
We've been here a very long time.
I think it's time we got out of here."
Two of the Lords of Reincarnation left the space sea as fast as they could, in search of their real
bodies.
Only one lord remained behind.
The space sea they were in was too important to leave unattended. It held the many secrets of the
reincarnation race, and so an avatar of the Lords of Reincarnation was always needed to guard it.
Besides, the leader of the Reincarnation Palace and some other successors were still there cultivating
in seclusion.
At the same time, in the Eight Fires Valley.
Austin was still attentively cultivating the fire-controlling skill, under the guidance of the fire source
beast.
Some time ago, he had been focused on honing the skill to control the ordinary fires.
Now, however, he had begun cultivating the skills to control a form of sacred fire, but only one.
There were eight kinds of sacred fires in the Eight Fires Valley, each with an amazing burning power.
Austin had to be very cautious in the process of cultivation. If he slipped up, the consequences would
be dire.
The fire source beast had been beside him the entire time, monitoring him constantly. He was afraid
Austin would burn to death by the sacred fire if he made any mistakes.
With the fire beast watching over him, Austin felt much less stressed.
Time passed slowly.
Before they knew it, a few years had passed.
Five years later, Austin was capable of controlling one of the sacred fires with ease.
"Your skills still needs a lot of improvement. You have to be incredibly proficient in controlling one of the
sacred fires. Only once you've mastered that can you move on to controlling more of them,"
said the fire source beast to Austin.
"You're right. I'm not yet proficient enough."
Austin nodded.
He spent the next two years practicing constantly, refining his skills. Finally, by the end, he was able to
control one sacred fire with incredible skill and precision.
"I did not expect you to become so talented at controlling fire.
In such a short period of time, you're already able to control one of the sacred fires absolutely
perfectly!"
exclaimed the fire source beast.
"I just did everything you taught me, exactly as you said,"
Austin said with a humble smile.
After getting to know the fire source beast for a while, Austin found that although he was simple-
minded, he was not as the legend said. His intelligence was not equivalent to a seven-year-old child's.
On the contrary, he was highly intelligent, but his thoughts were simple and direct. Most of the time, this
gave people the impression that a fire source beast thought like a child.
The fire source beast race appeared to be misunderstood for ages upon ages.
"All right then, you can now try to control two kinds of sacred fires at the same time,"
the fire source beast said to Austin.
In the days that followed, he continued guiding Austin in his cultivation.
Austin found it much easier to control two kinds of sacred fires after he'd learned to skillfully control
one.
He'd learned the foundation of the control. With that strong base, he could progress easily from there.
While Austin was cultivating hard in the Eight Fires Valley, in a lair of the darkness race, was an
enormous black palace.
Inside it, sitting cross legged on an altar, was Cain, deducing the strength of the fire source beast.
It was difficult to figure out seeing as how astronomically powerful a fire source beast was.
After years of speculation and investigation, Cain finally managed to capture the fire source beast's
aura.
A multitude of information began revealing itself to him, including the scene of the beast guiding Austin
in his fire-controlling skill cultivation.
"Cain, have you figured it out? Tell us, when is the best opportunity to enter the Eight Fires Valley to
take care of that fire source beast?"
asked one of the Lords of Darkness impatiently.
"Relax. All in good time. I'm mapping out the environment of the Eight Fires Valley right now. If you
want to go in, you must take its special environment into consideration.
I'm looking for any weaknesses in the valley.
Or seeing if I can find any about the fire source beast.
If I can find a weakness, it will be far easier to deal with that beast,"
Cain informed, slow and calm.
