"So you wandered far from the territory of the shadow race and entered the chaotic region that has an
extremely unstable structure, and now you're back here safe and sound.
Tell me!
Are you lying?"
one of the gray-skinned men shouted as a wave of energy rose behind him.
"I would never! What we said is the truth.
The human brat chased us and we escaped into the chaotic region.
It was difficult to pass through. However, we worked together to form the Shadow Tide Array, so we
managed to survive,"
a member of the shadow race replied cautiously as he stepped forward.
"Then where is the human brat?"
the gray-skinned man asked in a growl.
"Well... I saw a tall, red figure appear in the chaotic space in the distance, and that human brat charged
at it.
While he was distracted, we took the opportunity to escape,"
the member of the shadow race replied.
"Yes, we all saw the red figure. The aura it gave off sent chills through my body!"
one of the others echoed.
"What?
You mean a red-haired monster?!"
The news of this turned the gray-skinned man's face pale.
"Are you sure?
Think carefully. It's not a joke!"
The other gray-skinned men joined in on the panic.
"What we said is true!
We were all frightened so we ran away. We didn't get a clear look at it.
As for whether there is really a red-haired monster, we are not sure,"
a member of the shadow race explained anxiously.
"This is serious! We must report it to our leader and send our masters to investigate it thoroughly,"
a gray-skinned man said in a low voice.
"Right. We must attach great importance to this matter. It's related to the red-haired monsters. It's not a
joke."
The other gray-skinned men nodded in agreement.
"You all must return to your homes.
From now on, no one is allowed to leave the territory of our race and enter the chaotic region without
permission.
Otherwise, he will be punished according to the rules,"
a gray-skinned man announced.
"Yes, sir!"
all the members of the shadow race answered in unison.
Then, they turned and began the journey back to the territory of their race.
"Master, it's over. They believe what I said.
Now, we can enter the territory of the shadow race,"
a member of the shadow race whispered to Austin.
"Excellent! That was super smart by the way,"
Austin said with a smile.
"So were those people the divine gods of your shadow race?"
he added as they walked.
"Yes.
Master, there is something you don't know. We are born as a shadow, but after we become gods, we
gain flesh and blood; a real body,"
the slave replied.
"I see.
But I want to learn more about this red-haired monster,"
Austin replied.
"The red-haired monster is famous in the isolated alien spaces.
It has long, red hair all over its body, making it look like a red ape.
It only wanders around the chaotic region and any divine god that meets it would be killed.
A long time ago, several governing gods entered the isolated alien spaces together to try to capture the
red-haired monster.
But they were all seriously injured and fled.
From then on, no one dares to provoke the red-haired monster,"
the slave replied.
"Not even the governing gods could deal with it?!"
Austin asked, covering his mouth with his hand.
"Don't worry, master. Although the red-haired monster is terrifying, it rarely appears. In fact, it is
basically a legend in the isolated alien spaces.
Most creatures will never encounter it throughout their lives,"
the slave replied with a smile.
By the time he had finished talking, they had arrived at the space where the shadow race was.
It was an entire universe and the space barrier was very solid. There were many mysterious runes
wrapped around the entire universe, keeping everything out.
Now Austin understood why there were still so many races living in such a dangerous environment.
Every race must have their own universe which separated them from the dangerous things from the
outside.
"Master, we have entered the Shadow Cosmos,"
a slave said to Austin.
"Good. Let's go to the teleportation array of the shadow race right away and find a way to go to the
spiritual race,"
Austin ordered.
"Master, we can go to the spiritual race through the elf race.
Is that okay?"
a shadow slave asked.
"The elf race? That exists?"
Austin asked curiously.
Elves were often mentioned in some mysterious legends on the Earth, but he never thought they
actually existed.
"Okay. We'll try that."
Austin nodded.
He had thought that it would be easy for him to come to the isolated alien spaces and that it would be
safe.
But now, he had discovered that there were many mysterious and dangerous things in the isolated
alien spaces, such as the harsh space environment and the legend of the red-haired monster.
All Austin wanted to do was go to the spiritual race, get what he wanted, and then leave the isolated
alien spaces.
One day, when he was strong enough, he could come back and explore.
Austin's shadow slaves headed for the ancient teleportation array in the Shadow Cosmos.
But while they traveled, something was taking place in an old gray palace in the Shadow Cosmos.
"What? There's a red-haired monster nearby?
Nonsense!
Our ancestors set up hundreds of alarm arrays in the chaotic region near the Shadow Cosmos that are
specially used to sense the red-haired monsters. They have covered every area nearby. Once there
are red-haired monsters, I will be notified.
Who told you this?"
an old man sitting cross-legged in the depths of the palace shouted.
The old man's whole body, including his hair, eyes, and nails were all gray.
"Leader, several clansmen told us.
Today, there was a human brat in our Shadow Cosmos..."
A gray-skinned man spent the next couple minutes telling the leader the details of what had happened
today.
"There might be something wrong with those clansmen. Bring them to me right now!"
the leader ordered with a frown.
"Yes, leader!"
Then the gray-skinned man turned around and left the palace.
By now, Austin's shadow slaves had arrived at one of the teleportation arrays.
In the Shadow Cosmos, there were three ancient teleportation arrays also known as the three gates of
the universe. Normally, the members of the shadow race used these three teleportation arrays to travel.
"Let's enter the teleportation array and go to the territory of the elf race,"
Austin said to the shadow slaves.
"Yes, master."
The shadow slaves walked into a teleportation array, ready to teleport.
