"What? Your name is Austin?"
The whole time, Zander's master, the leader of the Bright Moon Sect, had been standing near him and
listening to the conversation he was having with the wizard. When he heard what they had said, he
raked his eyes over Austin, completely stunned.
He had always lived in the Thousand Waves Space Sea, and he spent most of his time cultivating in
seclusion.
He didn't pay attention to what was happening in the Absolute Space Sea at all.
Therefore, he had never heard Austin's name before, despite it being a very famous one in the
Absolute Space Sea.
Now, it was clear that his disciple had another identity!
And more than that, he had accomplished a lot!
"What's going on, Zander?
Is Austin your other name?
Are you really just an avatar?"
the leader of the Bright Moon Sect asked, staring at him with piercing eyes.
Over the years, he had put a lot of effort, energy, and time into cultivating his disciple.
He had even chosen to pass the position of the leader of the Bright Moon Sect over to him and marry
him off to his granddaughter Chloe, but now, he had discovered that his disciple was nothing but an
avatar!
How could he accept it?
"Zander, tell me the truth!"
the leader of the Bright Moon Sect demanded. Every second, the look in his eyes grew fiercer.
When he felt the intensity of his master's gaze on him, Zander knew that he couldn't hide his identity
anymore.
However, he also knew that if he were to tell his master the truth, it would bring trouble onto his master
and the Bright Moon Sect.
After all, the news about Zander being an avatar of Austin's might leak and the darkness race and the
Time Chamber Sect would hear about it. Then, they would come to capture the avatar.
"Ha-ha! This turned out to be more interesting than I thought!
Austin, this old man doesn't know who you really are. He didn't even know that you are just an avatar.
Austin, you lied to an old man.
Why did you do that?
Are you planning something?"
The wizard rocked with laughter when he heard the conversation between Austin and the old man
unfolding. It was all very ridiculous.
"Zander, is he telling the truth?
Please. I have devoted myself to training you for so many years. Just give me an honest answer."
By now, the leader of the Bright Moon Sect was trembling with anger. He stared at Austin, waiting for a
response.
"Master, it's true.
My real name is Austin, and I'm just an avatar,"
Zander admitted, sighing.
"Austin… Your real name is Austin, and you are just an avatar!
What a joke! So ridiculous!
I've spent years creating a disciple out of an avatar! It's a waste!
Zander, tell me, why did you lie to me?
What have I ever done to wrong you?"
the leader of the Bright Moon Sect asked, looking back at Austin with rage and sadness swimming in
his eyes.
"Master, you have never wronged me.
I didn't mean to lie to you, either.
When I chose you as my master, I swore to myself that I would tell you my true identity one day, but I
have my own problems. Therefore, I can't tell you the real reason right now.
Master, whether you still accept me as your disciple or not, you will always be my master in my heart."
From what Zander could see, the leader of the Bright Moon Sect was heartbroken.
It was understandable because Zander had been the person he was leaning on for everything.
Now, it was hard for him to accept the truths spilling out.
"Forget it. Don't apologize or beg for my forgiveness.
We can't escape.
We are going to die here.
It doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter why you approached me. It doesn't matter if you are
planning something. None of it is important.
Neither of us will make it out of here alive.
And then the Bright Moon Sect and the Thousand Waves Space Sea will suffer the same fate.
We will have no chance to rebuild our sect in the future.
Everything is over."
The leader of the Bright Moon Sect moved his gaze over the members of the darkness race that had
surrounded them and sighed.
"You used to be my most treasured disciple so before I die, I have no interest in arguing with you
further.
Let's let bygones be bygones."
Austin glanced at the leader of the Bright Moon Sect and it looked like he had aged years in minutes.
Originally, he had hoped that Zander could take his granddaughter Chloe out of the Thousand Waves
Space Sea. Then, with his talent, he could rebuild the Bright Moon Sect in the future.
He had put all of his stock into that dream.
However, his greatest hope was only an avatar of someone else. He didn't even know what his origin
was!
In a flash, all of his hopes had been crushed into the earth.
"Master..."
Austin began. Then he trailed off, not sure what he could say to make it better.
Then, something interrupted them.
"Austin, there's no need to be worried. I'm going to make it there in time."
Austin heard a voice in his Soul Sea.
It belonged to the infinity beast!
"Sir, you're here!"
Austin exclaimed, clasping his hands together with excitement.
He hadn't been expecting to be rescued.
"Sir, you made it!
If you had come a moment later, I would have perished,"
Zander added.
"Of course!
I saw that you were in danger, so I came as soon as possible.
I have calculated the time. You will be fine."
The infinity beast laughed.
As they spoke, the infinity beast was getting closer and closer to the Thousand Waves Space Sea.
"Come on. Let's kill as many as we can.
We won't live, but we can still bring down some of them.
As of right now, you are still my disciple.
Let's join against the darkness race one more time before we die!"
Out of nowhere, the leader of the Bright Moon Sect straightened up and released his great force. He
didn't look weak anymore.
He knew he would die today, so he wanted to go all out fighting.
He intended to try his best.
When faced with a strong enemy, he would never yield!
In fact, Austin was every bit as brave as him.
The leader of the Bright Moon Sect had known for a long time that both of them were like-minded. That
was also part of the reason he had chosen Zander as a disciple. The young man was also very
talented.
The leader of the Bright Moon Sect was at the top of the pyramid in the Thousand Waves Space Sea,
and it was the dream of every young person in the Thousand Waves Space Sea to be his
disciple.
