However, they had no choice but to believe that such a powerful man had died at Austin's hands. After
all, the elder had told them and they trusted him completely.
Jadiel stared at the elder with wide eyes.
"Are you sure about that, sir?" he asked.
"I'm one hundred percent sure.
The news has spread throughout the Absolute Space Sea. Everyone knows.
And it's not that hard to believe. With Austin's current strength, he could defeat an ordinary god of
chaos without difficulty,"
the old man confirmed, nodding.
'What? Austin can easily kill a god of chaos?'
All of them were even more shocked when they heard that. They had no idea what to make of it.
"We are still cultivating hard so that we can become gods of chaos.
Austin... Austin can slay a god of chaos.
He is way better than us. No matter how hard we try, we will never surpass him,"
Jadiel said, shaking his head.
Up until that point, he hadn't thought that Austin was stronger than him. In fact, he was eager to have a
battle with him and prove who was better.
Now, he had to come to terms with the fact that he would never be a match for Austin.
Austin was already so powerful and he would only improve. By the time Jadiel caught up to where he
was currently, Austin would have already moved on.
"Austin is a special case.
Don't push yourself too hard and try to catch up to him.
The only one you should be overcoming is yourself,"
the old man lectured, looking specifically at Jadiel.
He knew exactly what was currently running through his mind.
"You are right, sir.
From this moment on, I will never compare myself with Austin.
I will focus on competing with myself,"
Jadiel responded, agreeing completely with the elder's words.
Now that he wasn't worried about bettering Austin, Jadiel felt like a weight had been lifted off of his
shoulders.
In fact, he seemed to have comprehended something from it and he knew he was about to progress
further.
The old man looked at Jadiel again.
"You are worth teaching," he said, nodding with a smile on his face.
"Well, I think it's great!
I can't believe Austin has made this much progress over these years!" the chaotic sky-devouring beast
exclaimed.
He felt more pride for Austin than any of the rest of them did.
'Perhaps I shouldn't have cultivated in seclusion in the Reincarnation Palace. I should have stayed by
Austin's side and traveled around with him.
Maybe I would be stronger by now, ' he thought to himself, regretting his previous choices.
"It looks like we have a lot of cultivating to do.
It will be a long road ahead,"
the leader of the Reincarnation Palace said with a sigh, shaking her head.
The rest of them fell silent at her words.
They all swore to cultivate harder.
Suddenly, the cosmos where they stood quaked violently as if it had been kicked by a giant.
Then, a terrifying aura spread in the sky, encapsulating the whole cosmos.
A formidable being had arrived.
"What's happening?"
Everyone looked around nervously, lowering into fighting positions.
The cosmos had always been very peaceful. They weren't used to having to be on their guards.
"You're finally back!"
the old man sitting cross-legged on the grass exclaimed. A huge smile had spread on his face.
"Don't worry, guys!
This is a good thing,"
the old man added, glancing at the leader of the Reincarnation Palace and the others.
A moment later, an elder walked forward. His clothes were gently fluttering in the wind.
He resembled the elder sitting on the grass down to his freckles.
"Yes! I'm here!
Hello, little ones!"
the old man who had just arrived greeted the leader of the Reincarnation Palace and the others.
They all stood unmoving and followed him with their eyes.
The new elder strode towards the old man on the lawn and they immediately snapped together like two
puzzle pieces.
The moment the two old men became one, an enormous amount of energy burst from where they had
been standing.
When the dust settled, there was only one old man left on the grass.
The elder stood in the middle of the grassland and released an aura which made him seem like a
superior ruler.
It took the leader of the Reincarnation Palace and the others a few minutes to recover from the shock
of his arrival.
"Sir, what's going on?" the leader of the Reincarnation Palace asked the elder gingerly.
"Sir, was that your real body that just arrived?"
the chaotic sky-devouring beast asked.
Already, he could sense the increase in the elder's strength.
And there was only one explanation for that. He had reached his peak state once again.
Merging with his real body was the only way that he could do that.
"That's right.
So don't panic.
I have merged with my real body.
What you are seeing before you is the real me.
I am one of the three lords of the reincarnation race,"
the old man confirmed, smiling gently and looking at each of their surprised faces.
"You are all excellent successors of the reincarnation race. I'm proud of you,"
the old man praised.
"Chaotic sky-devouring beast, even though you are not the successor of our race, I know you will
defend us if the need arises.
Therefore, I will treat you as one of us.
Soon, I will rebuild the reincarnation race and you will all play a major part in the continuation of our
reincarnation race. You will become the backbone of it,"
the old man continued.
"Sir, are you really going to rebuild the reincarnation race?"
Smiles had appeared on all of the faces as they waited for his answer.
All of them had the same goal, and that was to rebuild the reincarnation race and let it rise in the
Absolute Space Sea again.
And now, one of the three lords of the reincarnation race had returned.
It gave them all hope.
"Yes, I am.
And if it weren't for rebuilding the reincarnation race, I wouldn't have returned.
I rank second among the three lords. You can call me Lord Randall.
The other two lords in charge of the reincarnation race are Lord Forest and Lord Luis,"
the old man replied.
"Nice to meet you, Lord Randall,"
everyone greeted, bowing for a few seconds out of respect.
"Get up,"
Lord Randall said, gesturing for them all the stand straight.
There was joy swimming in his eyes.
"You need to increase your strength.
The gods of chaos are the real masters in the Absolute Space Sea.
So now that I am here, I will give you advice on how to cultivate in the hopes that you will one day
become gods of chaos.
Are we clear?"
Lord Randall said.
"Got it!"
they all said at the same time.
Excitement was already starting to take a hold of them. One of the powerful people in the reincarnation
race had offered to personally guide their cultivation. If the news got out, many governing gods in the
Absolute Space Sea would envy them.
"That's all I have to say.
You can return to your cultivation,"
Lord Randall said, waving away the young cultivators.
Immediately, the leader of the Reincarnation Palace and the others returned to their small worlds and
continued their cultivation.
Now, their goal was like Austin's. They aspired to become gods of chaos.
The minute they were gone, Lord Randall spoke again.
"The other two should be arriving soon,"
he said.
"Once they're back, we can start rebuilding the reincarnation race.
We have all been gone for too long.
I hope that we will make it this time."
Lord Randall looked off into the distance and wished that things would work out.
