Ivy then approached Austin.
"How does it feel to have your first child?" she asked with a gentle smile.
"It's heartwarming.
I'll be delighted when all of you bear my children,"
Austin said as he smiled at Ivy, Sue and the three mermaids.
At this point, Austin's mother joined their conversation.
"He is right. You'd better hurry up and give birth to his babies. That way, we will have a huge happy
family,"
she said, beaming at the girls.
"You too, Chad.
You are older than Austin, and he has become a father before you do. Hurry up and have your own
children!"
she scolded, turning to Chad and his wife.
"Ah! I just remembered that we got some unfinished business. We have to go. Mom, see you later!"
Chad said, acting coy.
Without waiting for his mother's response, he hurried out with his wife.
Ivy, Sue and the three mermaids had turned red after hearing the comments from Austin's mother.
They were so embarrassed that they wished they would just vanish into thin air at that moment.
"Mom, stop it,"
Austin said with a sigh when he saw the expression on the five gorgeous women's faces.
"What? There's no need to be shy. This is a serious matter. What's there to be shy about?"
Austin's mother asked, ignoring the awkward situation.
For the next few days, Austin stayed in the small world with his family. He thoroughly enjoyed the
company of his first born in particular.
Over the years, Austin had been busy travelling and seldom spent time with his family like this.
But this child changed everything. He realized that he was the happiest when he was with his family.
Meanwhile, the five women grew eager to sleep with Austin. Perhaps his mother's words had affected
their judgment.
If it were a mortal in Austin's shoes, he would have been exhausted by the end of it all.
Austin, on the other hand, had no issues having sex with five women on a single night. He was
brimming with vitality, and spent time with all of them equally.
He had sex all night, without any rest.
When they kept coming back for more, Austin obliged happily.
Good times always passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.
On one such peaceful day,
Austin and Caroline were playing with Julian in the yard.
The baby was made to lie down on a lawn chair made of chaotic crystal.
The chaotic crystal was the most rare and precious crystal known to absorb energies. It could convert
evil, negative energy into positive energy which could be absorbed by the cultivators.
Hence, many masters, even governing gods, collected the chaotic crystal to make beds, chairs or other
furniture which could be used frequently.
This way, even if they didn't take time to cultivate, they could absorb energy through the chaotic
crystals.
Austin had replaced all the furniture there with ones made out of chaotic crystals.
Of course, only those as rich as Austin could afford so many precious crystals.
He swore to himself that he would give only the best to his child.
It was morning, and the hill where they lived was bathed in warm sunshine.
The yard was filled with the baby's innocent laughter.
And then, without warning,
the ground trembled.
Loud noises were heard from far away.
"What's happening?"
Caroline grabbed Julian and held him close to her chest.
"Don't worry. It's okay. The space inside the Fallen Divine Valley is stable and secure. It will not be
easily damaged.
The sound came from the outside. Something is going on in the Sea of Chaos.
I have to go and take a look,"
Austin said to Caroline.
He looked at the little bundle in her arms. A tight frown appeared on his brows.
"I was getting used to the peace and quiet here, with my family. It's sad that I have to leave you all for
now."
His heart grew heavier because he sensed Humphrey's aura.
"I got all these treasures for Julian."
He took out a myriad of valuable natural herbs and pills from his Space Ring and piled them up in the
courtyard.
"Boil this magic herb and pill into a pulp and bathe him in the juice every day. It will help improve his
physical strength and will assist in his cultivation in the future," Austin said to Caroline.
Each of the treasures he handed her was incredibly rare, and thereby, precious.
They were more valuable than gems.
Even governing gods couldn't resist the temptation of gathering some of these; they sometimes fought
for it.
But Austin was using these valuable herbs and pills to bathe his child.
Anyone else would have said that it was a waste of such precious materials.
If the masters knew of it, they would definitely be pissed off.
"I will," Caroline replied gently.
"Take good care of yourself for our sake, and come back safe.
Julian and I will be waiting for you."
"Don't worry. I'm a tough man. No creature in the Sea of Chaos can kill me,"
Austin replied with a reassuring smile.
With a final goodbye, he took a step away from his family and disappeared.
In an instant, he was outside the Fallen Divine Valley.
The twelve zodiac animals were already there, using their omnipotent vision skills to check what was
going on in the distance.
"Sirs! What is Humphrey up to?"
Austin asked.
"Austin! He is attacking the gateway to the supreme universe again. This time, he has his eyes set on
the Mountain and Sea Cosmos,"
the sky-devouring dog replied.
"Over the years, Humphrey has been observing the gateways to the supreme universes, and he
attacks one of the entrances every once in a while,"
it added.
"The Sea of Chaos is under Humphrey's control.
But he is ambitious and wants to conquer the supreme universes too,"
the tiger cut in.
"Why do I get the feeling that Humphrey's ultimate goal is to plunder cultivation resources?
All the forces in the Sea of Chaos that have sided with him need to hand over a large amount of
cultivation resources to him on a monthly basis.
In the past hundred years, the number of those cultivation resources has become unimaginable,"
the black bull chimed in.
"The more cultivation resources he gets, the stronger he becomes. Don't forget that he has a chaotic
sky-devouring beast's body in his possession.
It looks like his main purpose of unifying the Sea of Chaos was to get all those cultivation resources,"
the sky-devouring dog said.
"You are right.
Although the chaotic sky-devouring beast's strength is terrifying,
the resources it needs to grow up are plenty.
So, Humphrey must be in dire need of more cultivation resources.
I guess that's why he is trying to enter the supreme universes,"
the colorful rooster surmised.
"Let's go and take a look,"
Austin proposed.
"What did you just say?"
the rat asked, terrified of the idea.
"Austin, Humphrey is more powerful than you think. If he spots us, we cannot return in one
piece!"
