Austin was caught by surprise. He quickly lifted his head to figure out what had happened.
Right in front of him was an odd illusory figure. He squinted his eyes to get a better view of the image in
front him.
The figure's appearance kept changing peculiarly as if ten thousand faces were continually switching. It
was hard to figure out what it truly was―it looked unreal.
"Sir, who... who are..."
Austin trailed off. His mind had a wild guess with who the persona in front of him was.
Before he could finish his sentence, the illusory figure answered, "Yes, I am Sousa, the second god of
chaos who guards the road of reincarnation; also known as a god of reincarnation."
When Austin heard this, he was jubilant.
"Greetings, sir!"
Austin saluted excitedly.
He found it unexpected that the figure in front of him was indeed the god of chaos who guarded the
road of reincarnation.
He was also the owner of the pagoda he broke into!
"Unfortunately, my real body is long gone.
What appears in front of you is only a faint spiritual soul mark."
The figure sighed despondently.
"Sir, if it's okay to ask, can I know what happened that time?
Why was the road of reincarnation attacked by numerous powerful enemies?
Does it still exist?
Is there any other successors of the reincarnation race?"
Austin had too many questions in his mind. He wanted to know everything.
He was itching to know these things since then.
As he heard Austin bombard him with a plethora of questions, the figure fell silent, seemingly lost in
thought.
He was thinking deeply, recalling what happened during those times.
"The road of reincarnation is the key path for the reincarnation of all the creatures.
With the road of reincarnation, all the creatures could have a next life and hope.
Death is not the end, but a new beginning.
Thus, the road of reincarnation brings the hope of immortality to all living beings.
The reincarnation of one generation after another leads to the immortality,"
the illusory figure explained after a short pause.
Austin listened intently, as he was more than eager to know more about its history.
The man in front of him was a god of reincarnation. Of course, his information was credible. Austin
believed everything he said.
For the longest time, Austin was craving for knowledge about the road of reincarnation.
Now, he finally had a chance to know everything he wanted and more!
"The law of reincarnation and the order of reincarnation are the most basic and original rules to
construct each space sea.
Hence, the road of reincarnation is also one of the primary fundamental elements of every space sea.
Without the road of reincarnation, everything would be in chaos.
All the creatures would lose hope.
In turn, the reincarnation race appeared to maintain order and balance in the all chaotic spaces, to help
it operate normally.
They are a group of envoys of justice specially tasked to protect the reincarnation road and its laws.
Through them, balance would be achieved.
Everything in every chaotic space remained stable.
All the creatures will live and reincarnate forever,"
the illusory figure explained further.
Austin listened carefully, his thoughts engrossed on everything the figure told.
"But as long as there are envoys of justice, there will also be the spirits of evil.
A long time ago, these evil creatures appeared. They were determined to destroy the road of
reincarnation and the law of reincarnation.
They existed for the sole purpose of havoc―to make every space sink into eternal despair, and bring
wrath to all living beings. They wanted everything to perish for good.
The reincarnation race eventually clashed with those evil creatures.
For the longest time, these two forces were battling against each other.
In the end, a terrible decisive battle broke out." The illusory figure paused, his gaze afar. He seemed to
be rehashing all the tremendous aftermath from that particular engagement.
"I was there. I was in that fight.
It was horrible!
The envoys of justice and the spirits of evil all suffered heavy casualties.
I also died in that battle."
He spoke in a low voice, and his heart broke from the gory memories of the past. He sighed.
"However, I have no idea whether the road of reincarnation is still there and whether there is a
successor of the reincarnation race.
Since I have already died in that battle, I am left with this―a faint spiritual soul mark attached to this
pagoda."
The illusory figure shook his head as he answered all Austin's questions.
"I see."
Austin nodded.
As he heard the illusory figure sigh sadly, Austin realized that he was opening a wound when he asked
these questions. He felt a little embarrassed and did not press anything further.
"Actually, as for the question whether there is a successor of the reincarnation race or not,
I have an answer for you,"
the illusory figure mentioned, and his gaze upon Austin was resolute.
"Oh?"
Austin's eyes lit up.
"Young man, I believe that you are the successor of our reincarnation race.
The law of reincarnation you have mastered is too profound, far beyond what one can master at your
age.
Aside from that, you also have the token of our reincarnation race.
With these evidences, I doubt anything would suggest otherwise. I really think that you are the one,"
the illusory figure answered, looking at Austin with expectant eyes.
"Yes, sir. You are right.
I am indeed the successor of the reincarnation race,"
Austin proudly replied.
He didn't even hesitate one bit. He was excited to share this piece of information to him.
"Ha-ha! That's amazing news.
I can't believe that the reincarnation race still has a successor!
Now that we know you're here, whether the road of reincarnation still exists or not,
I'm certain that it will reappear one day!"
The illusory figure gave a hearty laugh.
"Young man, I'd love to hear about the relationship between you and the reincarnation race. Please,
spare no details.
I want to know everything,"
the figure happily stated.
"Of course, sir!"
Austin nodded.
With that, Austin began to tell the figure everything he knew and he experienced thoroughly, including
how he got the Reincarnation Token, how he refined it, how he used it, and how he met several elders
of the reincarnation race.
The illusory figure listened to his stories with vigor. He was thoroughly interested.
"Ha-ha. I didn't expect that apart from me, there are several elders in our reincarnation race who also
let their spiritual soul marks stay behind. Surprisingly, you have met them all!
Listen to me, young man. In the end, everything is right exactly where it should be―it's destiny.
Since you have obtained the token of our reincarnation race, and you have met the members of our
reincarnation race many times,
it only means that you are destined for this.
You are born to be a part of the reincarnation race.
Nothing you say or do can change this fact.
This is fate!"
the illusory figure remarked excitedly.
"So, you don't have to doubt it.
You are indeed the successor of the reincarnation race.
I believe that from the day you were born, you are destined to be the successor.
I didn't expect that the reincarnation race's successor would break into my pagoda of reincarnation!
Young man, you have the qualifications to obtain my second pagoda of reincarnation.
But you have to promise me that after you get my inheritance and my magic treasure,
you must do everything in your power to reinstate the reincarnation race in the future.
Moreover, you should try your best to let the road of reincarnation once again appear aboveboard one
day!
I hope that you can make it appear in every space sea,
and let the law and orders return to normal!"
the illusory figure requested. His voice was serious and solemn.
"I promise, sir. I will keep your words to heart.
Rest assured. I will definitely make arduous efforts,
and try my best to revive the reincarnation race and make the road of reincarnation reappear one day!"
Austin said loudly, his blood fueled with determination.
