"But it doesn't matter. Young man, if you can really defeat me and pass the test that I have set up, then
you can become my disciple,"
the white puppet continued.
He obviously didn't mind who Austin was.
"That's great! Thank you, sir!"
Austin was very excited when he heard what the white puppet said.
"Remember young man. You may gain the upper hand, but you are still not strong enough to defeat
me.
Also, I will not lose to you on purpose. I will fight you without any reservations,"
the white puppet clarified.
"You're right, sir. I will have to become much stronger if I want to beat you,"
Austin admitted.
"And I won't give up either. Now that I have come this far, I must defeat you,"
Austin said with determination.
"Well, that's good to hear. Young men should be confident and persistent like you. Why don't you
continue learning the inheritances that I have left in the space beside the square? I believe that it will
immensely help you improve your strength.
If you continue to fight me without learning new things, it will just be a waste of energy and time. As I've
said, you can't defeat me now,"
the white puppet advised the eager young man.
Austin immediately stopped what he was doing. After a moment of thought, he nodded his head.
"You are right, sir," he agreed.
"Okay, I'm going to work on the inheritance you are talking about."
Austin considered the white puppet in front of him as Pastor himself and faithfully followed his advice.
At that moment, the chaotic sky-devouring beast walked up to Austin.
"I'll go with you. We can learn the inheritance together," he said.
Upon hearing this, the golden giant also joined in. "Go ahead," he said.
After a quick farewell with the white puppet, he led Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast straight
to the space beside the square.
The golden giant thought that Austin was highly likely to pass the last test and become his master's
new disciple. Considering that, he became nicer to Austin than before. He even treated him with
respect as if the young man was already his new master.
At this point, many of the governing gods on the square had defeated all the black puppets. They had
begun engaging in a fierce fight with the silver puppets.
After all, among the governing gods, there were some who were incredibly powerful. In fact, they were
in no way weaker than Austin or the chaotic sky-devouring beast.
If Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast hadn't come here earlier, they might be the ones that
were battling the white puppet now.
"Damn it! That guy is indeed fast. He only has one puppet to deal with.
Once he defeats the white puppet, he would acquire the third piece of the Magical Polarity Token.
Moreover, he will become Master Pastor's disciple and possess all of his secret skills and treasures.
We have to hurry and finish off all these silver puppets, or that brat will take all the good stuff and leave
nothing for us."
"He's right. Come on, guys. We can't lose to that damn bastard!"
Seeing that Austin had fought the white puppet, the governing gods were angry about it.
Austin already had the two pieces of the Magical Polarity Token in his possession. They would hate to
see him get the last one. If he got all three pieces, they would be wasting their all for nothing. They
would never allow themselves to lose to a young man.
"Come on, everyone. Do your best so that we will not fall behind that nobody!"
With that, the governing gods continued fighting with the puppets, this time with all their might.
"Brat, watch me. I am coming for you!"
The man in white robes who was incredible at arrays gritted his teeth as he stared at Austin.
Resentment was flooding his eyes.
He had already grabbed two pieces of the Magical Polarity Token, but Austin showed up and took them
from him. It was no surprise that Austin was now his most hated enemy.
At this point, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast were simply looking through the inheritance to
find which suited them.
The inheritances left behind by a god of chaos was precious and brilliant. Each inheritance engraved
on a stela was a priceless treasure that all the governing gods dreamed of having.
However, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast were wise. Patiently, they looked through the
available skills until they found the one that suited them.
"You don't have to worry about the time. I have changed the time flow rate in this space. No matter how
long we stay here, only a few seconds would have passed outside,"
the golden giant informed Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast.
"Thank you so much! That's very helpful."
Austin expressed his appreciation.
"Young man, don't be so formal with me. You will soon become my master's disciple and when that
happens, I will be taking orders from you.
So feel free to talk to me in a normal and familiar tone,"
the golden giant said, trying to put Austin at ease.
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore so that you can focus on your work."
With that, the golden giant left the space and returned to the square.
By this time, there were still a large number of governing gods fighting with the remaining puppets. The
golden giant was the one to tell them about the rules about the test.
Just like with Austin, he was very polite toward every creature that came to take the test.
If there was anything that the governing gods didn't understand, he would patiently explain it to them.
After all, it was part of his job.
Back then, his master let him independently deal with these creatures that had come here for the test.
Time passed slowly. Soon enough, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast found the inheritances
that they were interested in and began their cultivation.
"We can take our time. Since we are not in a rush, we have the opportunity to master several secret
skills recorded here,"
Austin excitedly said to the chaotic sky-devouring beast through his spiritual sense.
"You have a good point. It is indeed a rare opportunity for us. We should learn several secret skills so
that odds of beating that white puppet would improve,"
the chaotic sky-devouring beast replied.
Through the passing of time, the duo had each mastered several brilliant secret martial skills.
"Now my comprehensive combat effectiveness has greatly improved!"
Austin remarked as he stopped cultivating and stood up.
"Sir, I think I'm ready. I am now going out to challenge the white puppet,"
Austin said to the golden giant.
"Go ahead, young man. After all, I can see that you have grown much stronger. I am also anxious to
see if you can defeat him."
The golden giant nodded at him, smiling.
