"Get your ass over here, Thad!"
Austin roared.
However, no voice came from inside the stronghold.
"Austin, let's go back first,"
Frost said with a sigh.
"Hey, don't worry. I know Thad. He's a decent man, unlike the other cruel evil bastards from the god of
darkness side.
Plus, your wife is his descendant. I believe he wouldn't hurt her,"
Oswald added.
Austin glared at the towering fortress for a while before agreeing with the others. He left with the three
premium-grade divine gods.
Meanwhile, inside the stronghold of the gods of darkness and creatures from the isolated alien spaces.
"Thad, it turns out that Austin's wife is your descendant. This makes things so much easier!
We can make that girl our hostage and force Austin to surrender himself!"
Baham said to Thad excitedly.
The second those words left Baham's lips, Thad shot him a petrifying glance.
"Take that back right now and I'll give you another chance.
But if you dare to mention this ludicrous idea again, then don't blame me for what's going to happen to
you!" Thad warned.
A strong evil energy suddenly emanated from him which made Baham's spine tingle.
"Alright, alright, Thad, don't be so serious. I didn't mean that,"
Baham replied, scared.
He knew what Thad was capable of. If someone rubbed him the wrong way, he would surely punish
that person.
Thad's anger turned into disappointment as he glanced at Baham, turned around and left.
"Humph! He is always so stubborn.
Silas, forget everything that Thad said. Let's take Austin's wife ourselves,"
Baham said to Silas through his spiritual sense.
"What are you thinking about, Baham? You want to provoke Thad? Do you have a death wish?"
Silas was taken aback by his bold proposal.
"Come on, Silas. Yes, Thad is indeed powerful but we are too!
I am confident we can defeat him if we work together.
If we give up like this, we'll be nothing but a laughingstock.
Besides, our lords Hackett and Elliot will be here soon.
When they arrive, we don't need to be afraid of Thad.
Don't you want to get your hands on Austin's chaotic magic treasures and Reincarnation Token?"
Baham said with a sneer.
"Yes, you're right. I'm in,"
Silas agreed.
Inside the stronghold, there was a special space created by Thad.
He created this using the space law. It was where he rested, and no one else could enter without his
permission.
Thad then returned to his special space.
"Ancestor!"
The Evil Shadow King and a large number of members of the evil shadow race came forward and
bowed in front of him.
"Get up, all of you.
You have suffered a lot over the years," Thad said as he gestured at his people to rise.
His gaze turned soft as he glanced at each of his descendants.
"Caroline, I have made it clear to Austin.
From now on, you have nothing to do with him."
Thad looked at her as if she was his own daughter.
"Oh, no! Ancestor, I am married to Austin.
Even in death, I will always be his woman.
Please don't keep me and Austin apart!" Caroline pleaded.
Apparently she wouldn't just follow Thad's orders blindly just because he was their venerable ancestor.
"Caroline, Don't be so willful!
You have a huge responsibility resting on your shoulders. Since you are our princess, you will
represent the honor of our race in the future.
Lest you forget, you are a part of the gods of darkness now.
Austin supports the gods of light.
We and the gods of light are sworn enemies. How can you be with him in the first place?"
Thad answered back with a stern expression.
"I don't care. I have sworn to spend the rest of my life with Austin.
Nothing could change my mind."
Caroline was not backing down.
"Caroline!
Are you sure you want to make me your enemy?"
Thad snarled in anger.
His rage caused the small space he formed to destabilize. Fragments of laws began to appear one by
one.
The space shook with the strength of an earthquake. Dark clouds gathered around it while strong winds
blew.
Evil Shadow King, Priest Callum and the rest of the evil shadow race turned pale with fear as their
hearts beat right out of their chest.
However, none of them talked Caroline into forsaking Austin.
They were all aware of the love she had for her husband.
They knew that nothing could keep them apart.
Therefore, none of them said anything since their efforts would be futile.
"I will do anything you want except for leaving Austin!
I will never ever turn my back on him.
I hope you can forgive me," Caroline insisted.
She raised her head and bravely looked at Thad in the eye.
Thad's eyes were piercing and commanding.
Caroline felt weight of numerous mountains on her.
However, she gritted her teeth and didn't yield.
"Alas! Caroline, don't you know that I have placed high hopes on you?
You have merged with the spiritual soul energy of our true ancestor—Basil. The power of his energy
running in your vein is no less than mine.
You might even go farther in cultivation that I did.
You are the future of the evil race.
Can't you just listen to me for the sake of our people?"
Thad's tone suddenly softened.
He revealed that the evil shadow race was actually called the evil race.
And Thad was not the real ancestor!
The true ancestor of the evil race was a man called Basil who lived a long, long time ago.
Basil had been born before the separation of the earth and sky. At that time, countless universe
communities in the Sea of Chaos hadn't been created.
Thad was only his disciple.
Back then, Basil had put a portion of his blood into Thad's body. Thanks to his blood, Thad had
progressed rapidly and became a premium-grade divine god in only a short time.
Since then, Basil disappeared without anyone knowing where he was.
The evil race was his offspring. Before he disappeared, he left them in the Sea of Chaos.
In the past few days, Thad had entrusted all the members of the evil shadow race with the secret about
their race.
After hearing his story, everyone in the evil shadow race knew more about their race.
"If that's the case then please extract our ancestor's spiritual soul energy from me and plant it into
another member's body.
I just want to come back to my husband.
Please,"
Caroline pleaded.
"Stop talking nonsense.
Do you think just anyone can integrate with our ancestor's spiritual soul energy?
Only those who are close to him and have great talent can do that.
Caroline, only you can do that."
Thad's patience was growing shorter by the minute.
