"So... Should I refer to you as Zander or Austin?"
Chloe asked.
"Whichever you want. Technically, both are my names,"
Zander replied.
"Okay. In that case, I will still call you Zander.
Is there a big difference between you and your real self?"
Chloe wondered.
"We are not totally the same, but the difference is small,"
Zander answered.
"I see."
Chloe nodded.
The whole time, she had been taking Zander in with her big, beautiful eyes. It was clear that she was
reluctant to part with him.
She had fallen in love with Zander.
When she found out that he was an avatar, her feelings hadn't altered. In fact, her love for Zander had
grown even deeper.
"Okay, Zander. You should go now.
Don't keep the infinity beast waiting,"
the leader of the Bright Moon Sect interrupted.
He could tell that his granddaughter had taken a fancy to Zander.
And he knew that the longer Zander stayed, the less she would want him to go.
"Master, Chloe, I have to go now.
See you later,"
Zander said.
"Let's go."
The infinity beast nodded.
With a wave of his sleeve, the infinity beast released powerful laws of time and sealed Zander in it.
Then, he ran off.
In the blink of an eye, he had traveled through the space and was gone from their sights.
"The infinity beast is really powerful. I've never seen such an impressive cultivation base of the law of
time,"
the leader of the Bright Moon Sect commented, sighing deeply as he stared at the spot where the
infinity beast and Zander had disappeared.
Shock and excitement still filled him when he thought about how the infinity beast had effortlessly killed
the people of the darkness race.
The people of the darkness race were incredibly powerful. Rumor had it that they could easily destroy
the Thousand Waves Space Sea.
However, compared to the infinity beast, they were so weak that he had killed them each with one
move.
"Grandpa, do you think he will come back?"
Chloe asked with a sigh, staring off into the distance.
For years, Zander had lived in the Thousand Waves Space Sea. She had spent tons of time by his side
and had grown used to having him around.
She held wishes that she would marry him one day.
But now, Zander had left the Thousand Waves Space Sea and she didn't know for sure if she would
ever see him again.
It was a cruel fact for her to accept.
"It all depends on fate.
Chloe, you have to understand that there are some things that can't be forced,"
the leader of the Bright Moon Sect replied, shaking his head. He knew what his granddaughter was
thinking.
"From what I've heard, it sounds like Zander's real self is astonishing.
His avatar is a level-ten governing god.
That makes me think that
his real self is too skilled, even for me.
I bet that the Bright Moon Sect and the Thousand Waves Space Sea are miniscule in his eyes.
I think you may not be good enough for him,"
the leader of the Bright Moon Sect continued.
He was aware that his words were harsh
but they would save her from long-term pain. He hoped that she could accept the facts as soon as
possible.
As she processed the leader of the Bright Moon Sect's words, Chloe stood completely still. Her eyes
were fixed to the area where she had last seen Zander.
Her face was stiff. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
After a long time, she finally said, "Grandpa, for the next little while, I am going to cultivate in
seclusion!"
The moment she was done with her announcement, she turned around and left.
"Good."
The leader of the Bright Moon Sect nodded.
"Return to the headquarters!"
he said to his men and then led them all away.
By now, the infinity beast had entered the Absolute Space Sea with Zander and was heading for the
Fallen Divine Valley.
Then, in a remote, quiet space
somewhere in the Thousand Waves Space Sea, a black figure crept into view.
A black robe was wrapped around his body, making him look illusory. His shadow constantly twisted
and reformed.
"Infinity beast, I hate you! You killed my real body!"
the figure yelled to no one in particular.
"Fortunately, a long time ago, I used the most ancient, secret method of our darkness race and created
a large number of avatars.
These avatars have been hiding
and have successfully avoided the perception of the infinity beast,"
the figure whispered to himself.
"But I am a wizard of the darkness race and I was murdered. It's humiliating!
Now, I must get my revenge!
Austin is to blame for this! He's the reason my real self got killed!"
the figure continued.
It turned out that the illusory figure was an avatar of the wizard who had been killed by the infinity
beast.
"Why does Austin have an avatar in the Thousand Waves Space Sea?
Something strange is going on.
Does Austin have another avatar in another place?
I must go home and gather more wizards to deduce the whereabouts of his avatars. I must find all of
them!"
the wizard's avatar swore.
Then, he slipped away into the space and left the Thousand Waves Space Sea.
He was just an avatar but he had mastered many ancient, secret techniques of the darkness race.
Plus, like any wizard, he was skilled at the art of deduction. He knew the methods he had to use to
seek out good luck and avoid bad luck.
Once he had left the Thousand Waves Space Sea, he returned to one of the darkness race's lairs.
Straight away, he gathered a group of wizards and began to deduce the location of Austin's avatars.
He had already captured the aura of Austin's avatar back in the Thousand Waves Space Sea.
With the help of the other wizards, he should be able to find it in no time.
"There is something strange. Austin definitely has more than one avatar.
In fact, he has many others!"
a wizard exclaimed, shocked by what he had discovered.
"Yes. I see the same thing!" a second wizard echoed.
"I have discovered that Austin still has dozens of avatars, and they are all in different places in the
Absolute Space Sea.
I vaguely sense the auras of many Austins,"
a third wizard said.
"Right!
Austin must have condensed many avatars and left them in different places in the Absolute Space Sea.
But this is strange. Why did he do that?
What is he up to?"
one of the wizards wondered.
