"I can't believe that such a powerful universe community declined so abruptly like this. There must be
some reason behind it.
Well, I am going to figure it out,"
the sky-devouring dog said, with a spark of interest in its eyes.
It then formed strange seals with its paws while continuously murmuring something.
Strong masters just like it, knew a few things about fortune-telling.
But after a short while, a mysterious and powerful force shot down from the sky.
It seemed to know its target as it came directly at the sky-devouring dog.
"What the hell!"
The sky-devouring dog furrowed its eyebrows in shock and took a few steps backward immediately to
avoid being hit.
"It looks like there is some mysterious force that wants to keep us from figuring out the reason for the
decline of the three thousand big and small universes.
If I continue with this quest, I am almost sure that I will get myself in serious trouble,"
the sky-devouring dog said, now a bit concerned.
Suddenly, Santos appeared in the distance and walked toward the sky-devouring dog and the Divine
Swordsman.
"It seems that truth about the past eras of the three thousand big and small universes has been locked
and cursed. Right now, no one can look into it.
When my mentor studied the geomancy array in the three thousand big and small universes back then,
he found some clues leading to this secret and tried to figure out what happened.
As a result, he died miserably. Worse, he was not able to make a conclusion regarding his quest.
Before his death, he told me never to try and pry into the past of the three thousand big and small
universes, or something terrible was sure to happen to me.
So I advise you to give up on your investigation into what had happened in the three thousand big and
small universes," Santos said to the two of them. The serious look on his face was enough to send a
bone chilling effect into their hearts.
"I've never heard something like that."
The sky-devouring dog and the Divine Swordsman were both shocked at the new information.
"Master Santos, you are indeed an expert in the Earth Exploring Technique. I can't believe that you
have managed to activate the geomancy array in such a short time,"
the Divine Swordsman praised.
"I'm flattered, sir.
I studied that geomancy array in the three thousand big and small universes with my teacher. He taught
me well, so I do know a few things about it,"
Santos replied.
"Now I'm really curious how powerful this array is,"
the Divine Swordsman said.
"You have nothing to worry about, sir. The array can handle those weaklings with ease."
Santos smiled faintly.
"Did something happen to you? You seem a little different.
I can put a pin on it but I feel like you have turned into someone else,"
the sky-devouring dog said as it stared at Santos from head to toe.
The Divine Swordsman also surveyed Santos, looking deep into his eyes. He also noticed that Santos
had changed.
"Ha-ha! I'm still me. When I tried to activate that array, something came back to my memory and my
damaged spiritual soul has recovered a lot. I actually feel great!" Santos responded with a chuckle.
His body glowed as original chaotic law emitted from it.
Since Santos didn't explain it in detail, the sky-devouring dog and the Divine Swordsman didn't dig
deep anymore to ask him why he would emit such a primitive law power.
After all, everyone had their own little secrets.
Masters at the level of the Divine Swordsman and the sky-devouring dog had more secrets than others.
"Ha-ha! What a relief! Master Santos, I thought that I would have to defend the three thousand big and
small universes myself.
Now that you will safeguard this place with me, I can rest assured!"
the Divine Swordsman exclaimed and laughed.
Although he couldn't see through Santos, he could feel that he was incredibly powerful, and he was
pleased about it.
"It's my honor to be able to fight beside you, sir!"
Santos said in a calm tone.
Previously, he had been polite and respectful in front of the sky-devouring dog and the Divine
Swordsman.
But now, he had become more confident while having the ability to remain calm.
He acted in a manner like he was at the same level as the two masters.
"In that case, I think I should take Austin with me back to the Fallen Divine Valley,"
the sky-devouring dog said.
As soon as it finished speaking, it unleashed the spatial power.
Meanwhile, Austin was flirting with Caroline, Ivy and Sue in the garden of the headquarters of the
Flame Holy Land. Then without warning a giant claw reached down from the sky and seized him. In an
instant, he found himself in front of the Divine Swordsman, the sky-devouring dog and Santos.
"You are all here!"
Austin greeted ecstatically.
"Austin, it's time for us to set off,"
the sky-devouring dog informed Austin.
"Master, how are you now? You look great! Have you recovered?"
Austin asked as he looked at the Divine Swordsman who seemed much better than the last time they
saw each other.
"Yes. I am much better, thanks,"
the Divine Swordsman replied with a nod.
"And master, how about the geomancy array? Were you able to activate it?"
Austin asked Santos.
"Yes I have. It is all done now."
Santos nodded his head.
"Awesome! That's really good to know!"
Austin was overjoyed and finally relieved at the good news.
"All right brat, enough with the questions. We've got to go,"
the sky-devouring dog chuckled.
"And don't worry. The three thousand big and small universes will be fine,"
it added.
After it watched the great figures in the history of the three thousand big and small universes through
the painting, the sky-devouring dog had a feeling that the three thousand big and small universes were
not at all that simple.
It didn't think that anyone would have the capability, let alone the resources to destroy this universe
community.
After all, there were still numerous and mysterious chaotic law powers that prevented any creature from
looking into its decline and even its ultimate destruction.
These mysterious powers could have been the will of the chaos or might have come from a formidable
being that had been keeping an eye on the three thousand big and small universes.
"Fine, I'm ready. Let's go,"
Austin replied determinedly.
He knew very well that the three thousand big and small universes would be safer without him in it.
At this point, the chaotic world tree was safely hiding in the small world created by the sky-devouring
dog.
The Fallen Immortal Cosmos was like a fruit hanging on the branch of the chaotic world tree.
This time, Austin took the chaotic world tree and the Fallen Immortal Cosmos along with him.
In this way, he didn't have to worry about them.
"Austin, these are my past insights about swordsmanship and some secret sword skills. I'm giving them
to you now. I suggest that you spend some time on them when you are free.
I am quite sure that you will find them very useful," the Divine Swordsman said to Austin.
With a wave of his hand, he put a spiritual sense message into Austin's Soul Sea.
"Thank you, master!"
Austin was completely overjoyed.
'The sword skills that the Divine Swordsman has practiced must be really brilliant, ' he thought with
utter excitement.
"Let's go."
With its paw, the sky-devouring dog pointed at the space in front of it.
Boom!
A big spatial teleportation channel appeared in the void.
"Great! Now follow me, brat."
The sky-devouring dog made its way towards the channel.
Austin closely followed behind it.
When the two of them were about to enter the channel, a huge clap of thunder came from outside the
three thousand big and small universes.
It rang in the air, much longer than a regular thunderous crackle in the skies.
"Humph!
It looks like someone is trying to escape! Unfortunately, it's too late for you fools!"
