"You need to stay put!
Cool you head and don't act on a whim!
Don't you get it? Our entire clan is no match for the army of the beast race. We ended up like this
because we're too weak to go against them.
Besides, you are just preliminary-grade divine gods. What difference are you expecting to make if you
go there? You'll just get yourselves killed!"
Ennis angrily shouted as he lectured Shepard and Austin.
"I get it! But my father is trapped there. I will not stand idly and watch him die! I will save him even if it
costs my life," Shepard snapped.
He then immediately turned into a beam of light and flew away.
As he departed, Austin and Fletcher followed him closely.
"Damn it! He is so stubborn! I don't know what else to do with him."
Ennis was so furious that he stomped his feet on the ground.
"He's still young. I can't let him get himself killed," Ennis said as he looked at the direction where
Shepard and the others had disappeared.
Before he went after Shepard, he told the other members of his clan to stay put in the hole and hide
there for a while. After that, he quickly left and soared into the sky.
As they left the Galaxy World, Shepard, Austin, and Fletcher moved sneakily in the space.
They saw that a lot of members of the beast race were scattered. At the same time, they also saw
several creatures on the run. It turned out that they were natives of the Black Cosmos.
The three unleashed their spiritual sense and detected the members of the beast race. They concealed
their auras and made sure to make a detour when they spotted them. This way, they prevented
confronting any member of the beast race until they reached their destination.
The only downside was it took them quite a while before they reached the place.
Finally, they stopped in front of a huge star.
They noticed that the spiritual energy was denser in this area, and there were brilliant laws that formed
colorful lights surrounding the said star.
From the looks of it, it was obviously a lively and prosperous star.
However, due to the invasion of the beast race, the star was now engulfed in demonic auras, and the
whole place was in a state of chaos.
They saw that there were several dead bodies scattered, and their blood made a shallow pool on the
ground. There were fissures all over the land, and the sea flowed in reverse. The mountains collapsed,
and the entire area was in total ruins.
Currently, several groups from the beast race occupied the star.
"Austin, this is the Wu Star. It is our clan's headquarters…
Those sons of bitches! How dare they turn such a beautiful place into this mess?!"
Shepard couldn't contain his emotion as he saw what had happened to the star in front of them.
Upon seeing that his hometown was utterly destroyed, he immediately went berserk. In his anger,
blazing flames emerged from his body.
"Shepard, you need to calm down first. We are here to find your father.
Have you located his whereabouts?"
Austin gently reminded Shepard.
"Right. Give me a second."
Shepard tried to control his anger and widened the scope of his spiritual sense to look for his father on
the Wu Star.
"I saw him! He is in our ancestral land right now.
My father is still alive as well as the other masters of our clan.
However, they are surrounded by several masters of the beast race.
Come on, we can still save them!"
Shepard exclaimed, anxious that something might happen to his father any minute.
At this moment, Ennis had already caught up with them, and he also heard what he just proposed.
"Shepard, you're being too reckless! There are people of the beast race everywhere. How exactly are
you planning to save your father and the other masters?
They would easily spot us if we broke into that place.
We can't just barge in like this. We have to find another way to sneak in,"
Ennis suggested as he grabbed Shepard by his arm.
"But we are out of time. My father and the others might lose their lives if we don't take action right
away," Shepard retorted.
He knew that it sounded like a crazy idea, but he would still risk it just to save his father.
"Shepard, you're not thinking straight. Listen to me and do as I say,"
Ennis strongly insisted as he tightened his grip on Shepard's arm to prevent his nephew from breaking
free and acting rashly.
"Open your eyes! Do you think we can handle the troops of the beast race?
You're going on a suicide mission!
If anything happened to you, how will I explain it to your father?
I am still your uncle. You must listen to me!" Ennis declared in a stern voice.
Although Ennis was seriously injured, Shepard wasn't able to get rid of his grip. After all, he was a
medium-grade divine god.
"Uncle Ennis, please let me go!"
Shepard said as he struggled hard to break free.
"Shepard, we know how you feel, but your uncle is right.
We all know that the people of the Beast City are very powerful. We must be extremely careful if you
really want to save your father,"
Fletcher advised him.
Fletcher was actually just a preliminary-grade divine god, like Austin and Shepard.
Moreover, both Austin and Shepard had just become divine gods recently.
He clearly knew that currently, they were not in the position to fight the beast race head-on. Ennis, who
was supposed to be the strongest in their group, already sustained serious injuries, while the rest of
them were just preliminary-grade divine gods. Once the members of the beast race spotted them, they
would be in big trouble.
"Austin!"
Shepard called out as he noticed that Austin remained silent this whole time.
Austin was the one he trusted the most among his friends at his age.
He admired Austin more than anyone else. In fact, he would only listen to what he had to say.
For a while, Austin had been silent because he was busy analyzing the condition of the Wu Star and
the rest of the Black Cosmos through his spiritual sense.
When Shepard called out to him, he had just finished probing the situation of the entire cosmos.
He perceived that there were two premium-grade divine gods, dozens of medium-grade divine gods,
and a great number of preliminary-grade divine gods among the troops of the beast race present in the
Black Cosmos.
