At this time, Ronnie was just a corpse laying on the ground.
He had already died!
A great warrior that used to make other creatures cry in fear had died all alone on this cliff.
"Ha!
This Ronnie guy was too weak!
I wish I didn't have to live in his disgusting body,"
a creature's voice resounded from the huge egg.
"This is much better. The chaotic sky-devouring beast's body is way more comfortable.
This physique alone can beat the governing gods in the Sea of Chaos.
Adding my advanced cultivation base and countless secret skills will make controlling the Sea of Chaos
a simple task!"
The creature laughed in triumph.
While the creature in the egg waited for its moment, the Sea of Chaos was in a temporary peaceful
period.
The Heaven Beast Valley and the Annihilation Mountain had been completely annihilated and turned to
ruins.
The whereabouts of Ronnie was still unknown
but discussions were taking place among all sects in the Sea of Chaos.
There were various guesses,
but there were two that were most popular.
Some said that Ronnie had been killed by the top masters of the six super forces. His spiritual soul and
physical body had already been destroyed.
The others said that Ronnie was still alive, but he was gravely injured and hiding in a secluded place
somewhere in the Sea of Chaos. Once he regained his power, he would come back.
The other five super forces, namely the beast race, the demon race, the underworld, the Novel Court,
and the Divine Corpse Palace all kept low profiles these days.
Even the alliance had been hiding in the three thousand big and small universes, never going out to
cause trouble.
It was like the six super forces had retired.
However, the other small forces had become active in the Sea of Chaos.
In the past, the super forces had dominated the Sea of Chaos,
so the other sects didn't have the chance to develop themselves.
Now was their moment to shine.
They all seized every opportunity to improve themselves.
The super forces used to violently control and enslave these forces, but now they wouldn't even send
out a single troop to collect their tribute.
In the past, each super force controlled a large area in the Sea of Chaos and countless sects living
there,
but now, it seemed that they were unable to manage their own business anymore.
The situation caused a lot of rumors to spread and they spread faster than ever before.
"The six super forces won the battle with Ronnie,
but they must have suffered heavy causalities.
They must not have the power to fight any longer.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have hidden like this."
"That makes sense.
They used to fight to occupy all the land and expand their territories,
but now, all of a sudden, they are so quiet.
Something must have happened!"
"Ronnie is such a powerful and terrifying being.
He could have destroyed the six super forces!"
The discussions were happening everywhere.
Most of the sects believed that the six super forces had suffered a great loss in the war with Ronnie, so
they chose to stay in seclusion to recover.
"It seems that the era of the six super forces has gone!
A new age has started in the Sea of Chaos.
This new generation will be smarter and craftier than the previous one. The old times have passed, and
the new era will be led by us!"
"Everything is in the past!
We look to the present for truly great men!"
Countless masters and forces began to show up and compete with each other.
The Sea of Chaos was bursting with the renewed vitality.
There was finally time to battle freely to improve their skills and gain more resources.
Countless young people showed their faces for the first time,
bringing the Sea of Chaos into a prosperous, golden age.
Meanwhile,
in the square back in the Fallen Divine Valley,
the twelve zodiac animals were all gathering in front of the statue.
"Master, what can we do for you?"
the sky-devouring dog asked.
"I have a hunch.
I think he has already found my trace,"
the statue announced, looking forlorn.
"What? Really?"
At this news, the faces of the twelve zodiac animals turned pale in horror.
Without even having to say the name, they knew that their master was talking about a truly terrifying
enemy.
"Master, you have taken extra precautions when hiding yourself so well here. I don't think you have
been exposed.
Why do you think so?"
the goat asked, looking unconvinced.
"It is a safe place to hide.
The foundation of this square is made up of a mysterious soil that doesn't have a root.
I utterly concealed my aura, hoping he would never find me,
but do you remember?
Last time, when Austin was in danger, I used my secret skill to bring him back to the Fallen Divine
Valley.
Once I used my power, my aura leaked out.
Even the slightest wisp of my aura is enough for him to find me.
He must have sensed me then,
and is tracing me with every means possible now."
The statue let out a sigh.
The twelve zodiac animals all remained silent.
They knew that there was a high chance that their master was right.
Their master had used an omnipotent skill to take Austin back to the Fallen Divine Valley, after all.
"This is all Austin's fault!
What a troublemaker!"
the colorful rooster exclaimed.
"Bastard, look at what you have done.
Why did you choose to introduce this troublemaker to our master? What should we do now?"
the rat yelled at the sky-devouring dog.
"Master, it's all my fault.
If I didn't bring Austin to you, you wouldn't have revealed your whereabouts,"
the sky-devouring dog said, hanging its head in shame.
"No.
Don't blame Austin or yourself.
He's my disciple... an outstanding disciple.
I'm quite satisfied with him.
One day, I believe, he will inherit everything I have to teach him,"
the statue reassured.
"Master, what should we do now?
Should we leave?
We could find another place to hide,"
the dragon suggested.
