"You are welcome.
All of these treasures are for you. Use them wisely."
All the old men were looking at Johan with pride swimming behind their eyes.
"Sirs, I can't,"
Johan said after some hesitation.
"I need to be honest with you. I can't hide it anymore. I'm going to leave the Drifting Moon Space Sea,"
he continued.
"What?
What did you say? You want to leave us?
Where are you going?"
The old men gasped, looking at Johan as bursts of shock traveled through them.
They felt so proud of Johan. He was not only their hope but the hope of the Drifting Moon Space Sea
too.
"Unfortunately, I was not born to be a member of the Drifting Moon Space Sea. Soon, and I will return
to my true purpose,"
Johan admitted.
"What?
What do you mean by that?
If you are not one of us, then where do you belong?"
Every second that went by made the old men more confused.
They all stared at Johan, waiting for his explanation.
In their eyes, Johan had always been the most talented young man in the Drifting Moon Space Sea.
But now, he was telling them that he had never been a member of the Drifting Moon Space Sea.
They thought and thought but they couldn't come up with an explanation. They assumed that Johan
had lost his mind.
"Johan, don't leave us hanging. Tell us more!"
one of the old men said after taking a deep breath.
"Are... Are you a spy?
Did you come from one of our enemy space seas? Did they send you to gain the upper hand on us?
Don't lie!"
another old man asked harshly. An idea had entered his mind.
Was Johan a spy?
When the other old men heard that, their faces turned pale. They started to watch Johan with vigilant
eyes.
If something were to go wrong, they were prepared to fight him.
The other space seas nearby had always been hostile towards the Drifting Moon Space Sea. They had
been battling each other for years.
If Johan was a spy from one of those space seas, it would be a hard pill for them to swallow.
Over the years, they had spent countless hours training him. They wanted him to be the new leader.
"Please don't misunderstand.
I swear that I'm not a spy.
I also despise those space seas.
I will always be on the side of the Drifting Moon Space Sea.
Please, just trust me!"
Johan pleaded, looking at the old men frantically.
"If you want us to trust you, you have to explain everything,"
one of the old men said, finally dropping his guard.
"I..."
Johan hesitated.
He could not tell the old men that he was one of Austin's avatars, but they had all been very good to
him. Over the years, they had sacrificed a lot of energy and materials to his cultivation.
For that, he didn't want to lie to them either.
Guilt washed over him again. He would have to let them down further.
Suddenly, faint noises interrupted them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the distance, a large group of people were heading towards the Drifting Moon Space Sea.
They were from the darkness race.
"This space sea is called the Drifting Moon Space Sea. One of Austin's avatars is living there.
Don't waste time. Head straight in!"
a creature wrapped in a black robe ordered as he pointed at the Drifting Moon Space Sea with a black
staff.
He was a wizard from the darkness race.
"Let's go! Even if Austin is in there, I'm not worried. I could kill his avatar with a single finger!"
a god of chaos from the darkness race bragged.
"Come on. Austin is a handful. You should know that by now.
But his avatar won't be as powerful as him.
So let's go into the Drifting Moon Space Sea, find Austin's avatar, and kill him!"
the wizard remarked. Pointing his hand forward, he led the army towards the space sea. Very quickly,
they approached the outskirts of the Drifting Moon Space Sea.
"Who are they?
Are they coming to attack us?"
Creatures lurking around the Drifting Moon Space Sea was a common occurrence.
Wars would break out from time to time, so the Drifting Moon Space Sea had dispatched people to
guard their territory.
"Hurry up and report this to the gods of chaos!"
Within seconds, many of them had scattered off to spread the news.
Meanwhile, other news was spreading in the Absolute Space Sea.
"The Drifting Moon Space Sea is not too far from here.
It looks like another one of Austin's avatars has broken through to level ten.
Very good,"
a creature with a fierce aura said to himself as he headed for the Drifting Moon Space Sea.
It was the infinity beast.
The moment that Austin's avatars broke through and became level-ten governing gods, he was notified
immediately and rushed to collect them.
Therefore, the second that Johan had become a level-ten governing god, the infinity beast knew about
it. He wasted no time. It was important that Austin got all of his avatars back.
In the meantime, back in the Drifting Moon Space Sea, Johan was unable to explain himself.
Then, someone ran over to them.
"Sirs, we are in trouble.
The enemy is coming!"
a scout reported, nearly out of breath.
"What? They're coming again?!"
The faces of the old men darkened.
"So another war is what they want!
Are they really that confident? Gather all our people and prepare to fight!"
one of the old men ordered in a loud voice.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Immediately, groups of people from the Drifting Moon Space Sea arrived and gathered around the old
men.
A moment later, a fierce army was at the ready.
"Let's fight!"
All the gods of chaos in the Drifting Moon Space Sea had appeared. They marched the army out of the
Drifting Moon Space Sea, leading them to battle.
Johan followed them, glad that he didn't have to spill his secrets quite yet.
There were a total of nine gods of chaos in the Drifting Moon Space Sea, making them a middle-tier
force in the Absolute Space Sea.
After a couple of minutes, they arrived on the outside of their space sea.
They saw that an army was approaching them in the distance.
"Damn it!
I see dense energies and laws of darkness. It must be the darkness race!"
one of the gods of chaos cried out when he saw who was coming to attack them. Fear crossed his
face.
