"There has to be some reasons why those creatures of darkness are chasing after you.
It can't all be just a big coincidence,"
Austin remarked.
"It is possible that they are highly sensitive to the reincarnation race and can sense our auras from
afar."
Volker nodded.
"Master, I have a feeling that they are coming after me for a reason.
Two months ago, I discovered an abandoned continent in the Absolute Space Sea.
There was a stone tablet and a desolate path on that continent.
There were ancient characters carved on that tablet. Although I couldn't read them, there is just
something about them which makes me think they are related to reincarnation,"
the leader of the Reincarnation Palace suddenly spoke up.
"Really?"
Volker was surprised.
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
He asked.
"I didn't get a chance until just now. When I came back from the Absolute Space Sea, you were
cultivating in seclusion.
I thought I'd wait till you finished but when that happened, we were engaged in a fierce battle with the
Flying Immortal Palace.
It is only now that I recalled it again,"
the leader of the Reincarnation Palace explained.
"Hmm. You are right. It is highly possible that the stone tablet and the desolate path are relevant to
reincarnation.
Let's go and have a look right away!"
Austin suggested excitedly.
He had a vested interest in anything even remotely related to reincarnation. At present, he was
searching far and wide for fragments of the road of reincarnation and this lead he'd just come across
sounded promising.
"Yes, we should go have a look."
Volker also nodded in agreement.
"As you wish, master. Once I have settled down the Reincarnation Palace, I will take you there,"
the leader of the Reincarnation promised.
She then instructed her people to begin rebuilding the palace,
and to include the remains of the Flying Immortal Palace in it.
The destruction of the Flying Immortal Palace had left behind several territories
and the Reincarnation Palace took over all of them.
Ten days later,
the leader of the Reincarnation Palace finally finished her work.
The changes caused a huge stir in the entire Forever Space Sea.
There was a huge shift in the power structure and hierarchy of the area.
After taking over the territory of the Flying Immortal Palace, the Reincarnation Palace was now the
most powerful force in the entire space sea.
It took a few more hours to settle everything down but finally, they were ready.
"We can set off now,"
The leader of the Reincarnation Palace informed Volker, Sousa, and Austin through spiritual messages.
"Okay, let's go."
They gathered immediately,
and they left the Reincarnation Palace quietly.
Soon after, they left the Forever Space Sea for the Absolute Space Sea.
After entering the Absolute Space Sea, the leader of the Reincarnation Palace began leading the way.
She was navigating expertly around the various space seas that were in their way.
'The leader of the Reincarnation Palace seems highly familiar with the Absolute Space Sea,'
Austin thought to himself.
"Sir, can you teach me some laws of space and time relevant to the Absolute Space Sea?"
Armstrong asked the chaotic sky-devouring beast. He was following the group on their way to the
abandoned continent.
Armstrong was still unfamiliar with the laws of time and space that were present in the Absolute Space
Sea and he was also aware of the fact that
it was impossible for him to follow Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast all the time.
Therefore, he finally mustered up the courage and made a request to the chaotic sky-devouring beast.
"Sure thing."
The chaotic sky-devouring beast nodded.
The duo had gotten along well for quite a while now and they were now at a point where the beast no
longer regarded Armstrong as an outsider.
Therefore, he agreed and explained a few fundamental details about the laws of space-time to him.
Armstrong was a modest man and he learned everything he was taught with great interest.
The remainder of the journey was uneventful.
After a long while, the leader of the Reincarnation Palace exclaimed,
"The abandoned continent is right ahead!"
And sure thing, moments later, the foggy space ahead began to dissolve.
A huge continent slowly appeared in front of their eyes.
True to its name, there were no signs of life on this continent. It was well and truly abandoned and only
boundless sandstorms and scorching crimson soil were visible.
Not even a blade of grass was in sight.
"What a strong sense of reincarnation!"
As soon as Sousa and Volker reached this place, they let out an involuntary exclamation.
"Let's go and check it out."
The two gods of reincarnation rushed towards the abandoned continent as
Austin and the others followed them.
Once they reached the continent,
they discovered a bleak and dilapidated aura all around them.
"Master, let me lead the way,"
the leader of the Reincarnation Palace volunteered.
She led everyone right into the heart of the continent
through thousands of miles of scorched and burnt desert land.
Finally, they arrived at their destination.
"Look."
The leader pointed excitedly.
Her friends followed her finger and saw
a huge stone tablet standing in the yellow sand
with two ancient characters engraved upon it.
The characters were strange and Austin did not recognize them.
However, he could clearly feel that they contained vast amounts of the energy and law of reincarnation.
There was a small desolate path near the huge tablet, crooked and looking very inconspicuous. They
only saw it after focusing for a few minutes.
"This is a milestone of the road of reincarnation!"
Sousa and Volker were extremely excited when they saw the stone tablet and the crooked path.
"Yes. And that path is a fragment of the road of reincarnation,"
the duo shouted in unison once more as their gazes travelled to the crooked path.
"Wow! Really?" Austin heard them exclaim and
he became excited as well.
"I can't believe it. I have finally found a fragment of the road of reincarnation!"
He fixed his eyes on the seemingly unremarkable path.
'There's a familiar aura to it so I am sure
it is what I seek,'
Austin thought to himself.
"Master, is this really a fragment of the road of reincarnation?"
The leader of the Reincarnation Palace was also very excited.
She was also a successor of the reincarnation race and therefore,
it was her responsibility as well to find the fragments.
"Yes it is.
This stone tablet used to be a milestone on the road of reincarnation.
Let me think. It must be the eighteenth one.
There were hundreds of milestones on the road of incarnation to guide the reincarnated souls.
After the road was broken, these milestones were scattered all over the place. I hadn't expected one
would be here,"
Volker replied.
"This path is a tiny fragment, but it is still
a vital piece for the reconstruction of the road,"
Volker explained.
"That's great!
Master, we should hide this milestone and this fragment as soon as possible,"
the leader said excitedly.
"Yes, we must put them away."
Volker nodded.
"Ha-ha! We've finally found a fragment!
This is a very good start!"
Sousa laughed excitedly.
