"Look, it's him! It really is Austin!"
After the arrays had collapsed, the gnome and the Eight Stone Saints immediately saw Austin standing
outside the continent. They were completely surprised and overjoyed.
"Are you guys all right?"
Austin asked with a smile as he approached his friends and landed in front of them.
"We are fine, Austin. how about you? You are finally here!
If you came here just a second later, we would have been in really big trouble!"
Asa responded happily, letting out a sigh of relief.
"What are you talking about? Even if I didn't come here, you would still be fine anyway.
The two beasts who brought you to this supreme universe would also come and save you,"
Austin said with a smile.
It was the two savage evil beasts who brought the gnome and the Eight Stone Saints into this supreme
universe.
Austin was sure that they would be watching the gnome and the Eight Stone Saints closely. It was
impossible for all nine of them to be in real big trouble.
"You make a good point.
However, over the years, we had been relentlessly hunted down by the wood puppet race and the face
race.
So just to be on the safe side, we had been looking for a place to hide all day long.
It was really exhausting, not to mention discouraging. You have no idea how hard it was for us,"
Conor exclaimed with mixed emotions. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, remembering the ordeal
they had to go through.
"Well, look at you now. You have all become governing gods! Wow!"
Austin exclaimed as he noticed their auras, obviously revealing their current realms.
"Well, I believe you when you say that you had suffered a lot these past few years. Now, all your
suffering has turned to good fortune. You have all become governing gods!
I, on the other hand, am still just a semi-governing god,"
Austin sighed.
"Pfft. Don't be a dick, Austin.
It is true that you are only a semi-governing god, but your strength is enough to defeat most, if not all
governing gods.
The nine of us are only as strong as insects compared to you.
Otherwise, how could you bring down the arrays here?
The nine of us had been trapped for three or four years, and could do nothing about it!"
the gnome said, pouting.
"He is right!
Austin, although you are only a semi-governing god, your actual combat power is far beyond that.
As a matter of fact, no matter how much progress we make, we will never be able to catch up with you
—not in this lifetime!
You are such a freak!"
Asa also added jokingly.
"Haha! I agree to that!
Austin, you haven't changed! You are still as freaky as before."
The others nodded in happy agreement.
"Oh, come on! Watch your language, guys! I'm not a freak,"
Austin retorted with a fake bitter smile.
"Oh, before I forget,
you know that we have been kept captives here by the wood puppet race and the face race for a few
years. It was one of the worst times in our lives.
We must make them pay and get even with them!"
Asa proposed as he waved the stone stick in his hand.
"Hmm, I like that idea. Okay, let's go. I'll help you vent your anger!"
Austin agreed.
He knew that the main reason why the wood puppet race and the face race trapped the gnome and the
Eight Stone Saints here was to lure him out and force him to hand over the holy treasure to them.
That was how the gnome and the Eight Stone Saints became involved in this matter. It was all because
of him. In this case he owed them.
"Attack them directly and show no mercy!
Let's have a good fight with those bastards!"
"Yes indeed! We haven't been in a battle for years. It has been suffocating all over!"
The Eight Stone Saints all waved their big stone sticks at the same time and rushed towards the
governing gods of the wood puppet race and the face race who were just in the distance.
Given the right circumstances, the power of the Eight Stone Saints was terrifying. The stone sticks in
their hands were like massive and unparalleled mountains. The energy pressure that they emitted
made the space and time shake violently and collapse endlessly.
Boom!
Asa suddenly raised the stone stick in his hand, recoiled for traction and then threw it towards the
enemy with all his might.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The stone stick grew several sizes bigger as it swept through the air. It flew forward at lightning speed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When it landed on its target, several governing gods of the wood puppet race were thrown away by the
impact.
"Humph!
I had been trapped for such a long time. I really need to settle this account! Have a taste of my
revenge!"
the gnome also shouted angrily.
Whoosh!
He took a step forward and disappeared in an instant.
To Austin's surprise, even he couldn't accurately capture the gnome's accurate position for some time.
The gnome race was meant to be good with the law of space.
Now that the gnome had become a governing god, he had really reached a very high level in the law of
space.
Austin sighed. He was impressed but at the same time, he felt weak in this respect compared with the
gnome.
Whoosh!
In the next moment,
the gnome unexpectedly appeared right beside a governing god of the face race. The latter was hit and
thrown away before he could notice what just happened.
Just as quickly as he appeared,
the gnome was gone again.
Then the next second, out of nowhere, he appeared next to a governing god of the wood puppet race
and blasted out a thick energy column, which directly launched the governing god dozens of meters
into the air.
"Wow, that was indeed powerful!"
Austin was shocked by the gnome's display of power. He had never seen it before.
The gnome was good with the law of space, so he had a huge advantage in the battle. His bodily
movement skill was so fast that it was almost impossible for his opponents to defend themselves
against him.
The governing gods of the wood puppet race and the face race all felt confused and terrified of their
unpredictable and almost invisible attacker. They had no way to perceive the gnome's location because
he moved too mysteriously and too fast.
"All of you! Watch out for that gnome!"
"Let's gather together. Don't give them any chance to attack us separately."
A short moment later, the gnome and the Eight Stone Saints began to gain the upper hand. They beat
the governing gods of the wood puppet race and the face race terribly despite the sheer numbers.
Their opponents had no strength to fight back and thus retreated continuously.
"These guys are completely terrifying and amazing, even though I hate to admit it!"
"It's only been a few years, but they have actually improved by leaps and bounds!"
"We all know that, in the past, they were just a group of genuine divine gods, and they were no match
for us at all back then."
"Who would have thought that all of them could become governing gods in such a short time?"
The governing gods of both the wood puppet race and the face race all sighed with complicated
feelings.
Back then, when the gnome and the Eight Stone Saints first arrived in this place, they were just mere
ordinary divine gods.
But over time, each of them had become a governing god.
This was a mighty huge progress!
'That's true.
Over the years, everyone has been making a lot of progress,'
Austin said to himself silently. In his heart, he was more than happy to see his friends advance to
higher realms.
'I wonder how Violet is doing. She has also been cultivating in seclusion for hundreds of years. I
haven't seen her in a very long time.
I wonder how she is now. She must have gotten really strong.'
Suddenly, Austin remembered Violet.
Over the years, Violet had isolated herself, cultivating in a secret room in the Fallen Divine Valley.
During that whole time, Austin had gone back to the Fallen Divine Valley several times, but he never
got the chance to see Violet.
This time, Austin brought all the creatures of the three thousand big and small universes back home
and they rebuilt it.
However, at that time, Violet was still in seclusion, so Austin let her be and left her in the Fallen Divine
Valley so as not to disturb her.
In any case, the Fallen Divine Valley was the safest place for Violet to cultivate without any distractions
or even threats.
'Meanwhile the divine silkworm has been in sweet hibernation for many years!
But it appears that he hasn't finished his cultivation yet.'
Once again, the divine silkworm crossed his mind.
In the past few hundred years, the divine silkworm had been in seclusion, doing nothing but sleep.
He spent much more time in seclusion compared to Violet.
Likewise, Austin hadn't seen the divine silkworm in a long time.
But then, he knew that for the divine silkworm race, sleeping was actually a kind of cultivation.
The divine silkworm had to go through a long period of sleep before he could really break through and
make significant progress.
'And the little infinity beast... I wonder if everything is fine with it in the Divine Being's World.
I need to find some time to see if I can enter the Divine Being's World. I haven't checked it out in a long
time,'
Austin thought to himself.
