"Master, looks like it'll still take a while. Please allow me to go back to see my family first,"
Austin asked the statue master.
It had been quite some time since he'd last visited the Fallen Divine Valley. It was only natural he
missed his family and friends very much.
"Of course.
I will inform you when the egg of the chaotic sky-devouring beast is about to hatch."
The statue master smiled understandingly.
"Thank you, master,"
Austin said gratefully.
Then, he abruptly turned around and hurriedly left the square.
Moments later, Austin arrived at the small world where the Flame Holy Land was located. As soon as
he landed, Austin released his spiritual sense to search for his son.
It didn't take long before Austin saw a little boy, about seven or eight years old, wandering around the
small world.
It was his son, Julian!
Austin was pleasantly surprised to find that the boy's space law was much more powerful than before.
Mastering the law of time and space seemed to come easy to the boy. He only needed to take a casual
step, and with it, he could go anywhere he wanted to go.
'He still looks like a child, but he should be roughly a few hundred years old by now.
It seems that my statue master was right about Julian.
Well, if that's the way Julian's body works, I'll let him grow naturally.
This boy might achieve more than his father!' Austin couldn't help but smile bitterly at the thought.
Not long after Austin showed up in this small world, Julian noticed his presence.
He raised his head alertly and began to pinpoint his father's location.
Fixing his eyes on Austin, he shouted excitedly,
"Mom,
Dad is back!"
His childish voice instantly spread throughout the small world, alerting everyone.
'This little guy is really powerful!'
Austin chuckled.
Thanks to Julian's announcement, everyone in the small world knew about Austin's arrival.
It didn't take long before many figures flocked around Austin to welcome him.
Austin's wives, in particular, came to his side first. They were all very pleasantly surprised to see him.
Austin's other relatives, fellow disciples, and friends also showed up.
To the people in this small world, Austin was an important figure—he might've even be considered a
spiritual pillar.
In other words, Austin was, in their eyes, the hero of this small world. That was why, every time Austin
came back to visit, his presence caused a huge sensation.
When the hubbub died down a little, Austin used his spiritual sense to scan the whole small world. He
found that the small world had developed well, and its overall strength had improved. Moreover, he
sensed the presence of many strangers.
Austin had been away for a long time. In the past hundreds of years, the creatures living in this small
world had gone forth and multiplied, so the whole small world looked very prosperous.
"How are the other worlds doing now?"
Austin asked Kevin, who had just come to him.
"They are doing fine as well," Kevin answered with a smile.
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Fallen Divine Valley is much richer than that of the
other worlds, and its laws are also much higher. The creatures of the three thousand big and small
universes have also made great progress, and their overall strength has improved, too!"
"Let's go check them out,"
Austin said to Kevin excitedly.
Without further ado, Austin took Kevin with him to travel between the small worlds.
Back then, in order to accommodate the creatures of the three thousand big and small universes, the
twelve zodiac animals had opened up many small worlds in the Fallen Divine Valley.
Each small world was meant to accommodate specific creatures. As such, thousands of small worlds
were established for that purpose.
"This is great!" Austin exclaimed.
As they entered each small world one after the other, Austin found that all was as Kevin had said. The
overall strength of the three thousand big and small universes had improved greatly.
Finally, Austin came across the Yellow Cosmos, where the earth was located. Back then, in order to
deal with the pending crisis, Austin had to cut off a large chunk of space where the Yellow Cosmos was
in order to bring it to the Fallen Divine Valley.
There, he placed it in a small world.
As a result, the Yellow Cosmos was well preserved.
Austin then led Kevin into the small world where the Yellow Cosmos was located. Releasing his
spiritual sense, he set out to check on the status of the small world.
It was so quiet. Bright stars were arranged densely in the void, emitting dazzling starlight. The Yellow
Cosmos was mainly composed of stars, and each star was as big as a continent.
It was absolutely breathtaking. Standing in the dazzling starry sky, Austin felt that he had returned to
his hometown.
Before he could get carried away, however, Austin's spiritual sense alerted him of the position of the
Earth.
Austin was surprised to find that the spiritual energy on the Earth had grown to be very rich, and the
laws of heaven and earth were also quite complete.
Many creatures on the Earth had begun to cultivate so that they could be immortal. It seemed that the
Earth was in an era of sufficient spiritual energy!
The humans stomped their feet, soared into the air, and walked across the sky.
Not only humans, but also many animals had undergone great changes. Many beasts had evolved,
taking control of the mountains.
It seemed that the entire star was full of life.
It didn't take long for Austin's spiritual sense to cover the whole Earth.
"This is really great."
Austin nodded with satisfaction after studying the state of the Earth.
"The Earth has a very good foundation. It used to be one of the centers of the three thousand big and
small universes, but later it was isolated.
Now the Earth is in an era of resurrection of spiritual energy. I believe it will continue to develop at a
steady pace,"
Kevin said as he stood next to Austin.
"I agree."
Austin smiled.
He continued to probe the Earth using his spiritual sense,
searching for information on the state of the Brilliant Kingdom.
His search revealed that the Brilliant Kingdom was no longer familiar to him.
All his relatives, friends, classmates, and masters had already died.
Austin was hundreds of years old now. It should've been unsurprising to him that all the mortal people
he knew on the Earth had passed.
Feeling all this, Austin couldn't help but feel sadness welling up in his heart.
Fortunately, when Austin visited the Earth before, he was able to bring his beloved family with him to
the three thousand big and small universes.
Till now, his family had stood by him.
This was the most important thing for Austin, and it comforted him to know this. After inspecting the
Yellow Cosmos and the Earth, Austin and Kevin returned to the small world where the Flame Holy
Land was located.
Austin spent the next few days living peacefully and happily with his family.
However, one day, Austin received a message from the statue master.
The message was very simple: the egg of the chaotic sky-devouring beast was about to hatch!
"I'll be right there,"
Austin replied immediately, feeling pleasantly surprised.
