"Austin, it's really you!"
"When did you come back?"
Austin's father and elder brother exclaimed in surprise and delight.
"It's so good to see you again. We missed you!"
Austin's mother came to her senses, realizing that the man standing in front of them was indeed her
younger son. She quickly approached him and held him in her arms.
The reunion of the family was expected to be a heart-warming one. His mother immediately told him to
sit on a nearby grassy slope so that they could talk more comfortably, and so that he could answer all
of their questions.
Austin had no choice but to answer all of them, including why he suddenly left Earth last time, where he
had gone, what he had been doing all this time, and why he suddenly came back.
His family sat with him and listened intently to his every adventure in the unknown worlds and
universes.
They were extremely shocked and couldn't help but gasp every time Austin told all kinds of miracles,
dangers, and exciting moments that he had encountered.
As residents of Earth, the outside world to them was simply too wonderful and exhilarating.
"So, that means you are a divine god now?" The three of them couldn't believe what they just heard.
After hearing all of the things that Austin went through to become a divine god, they all looked at him
with inquisitive eyes. They stared at him up down and were trying to see what had changed.
"Oh my! It really happened! My son is now a divine god!"
Austin's mother was so thrilled that she was laughing while crying. She even pinched parts of Austin's
body several times to observe the difference.
"But Austin, they said that the bodies of divine gods glow brightly, and they also have those rings of
light above their heads.
Why don't you have them?" his brother Chad asked seriously.
"Oh, that? Look at this,"
Austin said with a nonchalant smile.
After that, his body gradually emanated soft lights that enveloped his entire body. Even his hair glowed
sacredly.
He looked exactly like a god descending from heaven to the mortal world, which was mostly depicted in
legends and ancient stories.
"Whoa! It's true!
You have really become a divine god!"
Austin's family exclaimed in surprise.
"Ha-ha! That doesn't actually mean anything. You can't judge a warrior's strength through that.
You'll understand better once you improve your cultivation base in the future,"
Austin said as he burst into laughter. He couldn't help but tease them a little since they were acting like
kids.
"Austin, I want to clear the matter about this evil baby hidden in the Karakoram Mountain. You're
definitely sure that once it gets out of there, its power will be so devastating to destroy the world?"
When Austin talked about the evil baby, his parents and brother immediately wore serious expressions
on their faces.
They couldn't really grasp how it could happen, so they were more curious than surprised.
At the back of their minds, Earth had always been a peaceful place. Sure, there were conflicts among
governments of various countries, superpowers which often launched small-scale wars against some
small countries, as well as some killings in the martial world. However, these were still incomparable to
what was happening outside.
Then, all of a sudden, Earth had something to do with the destruction of the world.
It was a little inconceivable for Austin's family. They always thought that such things could only happen
in movies and novels.
"So, you came back here on Earth to deal with the evil baby and save the world?
That's awesome and dangerous at the same time! It's like you're a superman who has been tasked to
defeat the strongest monster to save everyone.
I'm so proud and scared for you!"
Austin's mother couldn't contain her feelings and blurted it all out.
"That's right! We don't know how exactly we should feel about it."
His father and brother also affirmed what his mother said.
Austin felt a little awkward afterward. He was just compared by his family to some superhero, like those
fictional characters that were very famous to the citizens of Earth. But he still tried to understand their
concern for him.
Then, Austin found an opportunity to change the topic.
"By the way, mom, why aren't you cultivating in the mountain god's temple of the Peace County? Why
do you have to come to the Hiding Area?" Austin asked out of curiosity.
"Oh, that. Well, it's a long story."
His mother let out a deep sigh before she told everything that had happened to them.
It turned out that after Austin left Earth last time, his family had stayed in the mountain god's temple in
the suburbs of the Peace County.
However, several years later, the people of the Novel Court finally found them.
Before Austin left, he had set up several powerful arrays around the temple.
This was to keep his enemies from approaching the temple and disturbing his family.
However, the people of the Novel Court still took their chances. They used their high-powered
explosives, earth-penetrating missiles, and even nuclear bombs.
But even after using every single one of them, the arrays stood still and didn't budge at all.
Austin set up defense arrays, attack arrays, concealment arrays, and those that are related to time and
space. In short, Earth's technology wasn't enough to overcome them.
In fact, any outside attack would not only be resisted, but would also be transferred to other places.
As a result, all of the explosives and weapons that they aimed at the temple were rendered useless.
Thus, Austin's family would be totally safe as long as they stayed inside the temple.
Afterward, the people of the Novel Court seemed to have given up in attacking and decided to withdraw
their forces. Consequently, there was no movement for several years.
However, after all the peaceful years, sudden news came out from the western martial world that Austin
had re-appeared. It also stated that he was badly injured by the divine gods of the Novel Court, so he
was fleeing to the East.
Moreover, some videos were also released as proof of the incident. In those videos, it could be seen
that Austin was covered in blood and was being chased by a large group of holy knights.
Upon hearing the news and watching the videos, Austin's family grew extremely worried.
Therefore, in the moment of desperation, they decided to sneakily leave the temple to find an
opportunity to save Austin.
But to their surprise, the people of the Novel Court instantly appeared out of nowhere just as when they
were about to leave the country.
That was when they realized that everything was just a ploy of the Novel Court to lure them out.
The news and videos about Austin's appearances were all fake and manipulated.
As a result, Austin's family was trapped in the Hiding Area near the border by the people of the Novel
Court, running for their lives day and night.
Fortunately, Austin's mother had already reached the premium stage of Sky Realm and had also
comprehended her sword intent to the Perfection Stage. With such outstanding strength, she was able
to protect her husband and son for several years. Later on, they accidentally broke into this deserted
area.
Then, the people of the Novel Court still came and surrounded them on the small mountain.
"I see."
After listening to all of his mother's stories, Austin finally understood why his family was forced to leave
the Peace County and why they were in this deserted area.
It was now clear that all of this was because of the Novel Court.
"Well, it's alright. Now, there are enough reasons to end the existence of the Novel Court,"
Austin said with a terrifyingly cold expression in his eyes.
Previously, he came to Jerule city and fought with the god of the Novel Court.
But before he was able to finish his business, the door to Gods' Hometown suddenly appeared, so he
had to leave in a hurry.
After he left Earth, the Novel Court still didn't stop causing trouble for him and his family.
Unfortunately, before he could have settled all accounts with the Novel Court, their members had found
his family and chased them tirelessly to get back at him.
If he hadn't gone back in time, there was a huge possibility that his family already fell in the hands of
the Novel Court. Who knew what they might have done to them just to get every information they
wanted about Austin?
Right now, it could be said that the Novel Court, an ancient organization on Earth, was on the brink of
destruction because they angered Austin to the core.
