A moment later, a multitude of divine gods appeared in the distance and flew towards Austin at
lightning speed.
Ismail was the first one to reach Austin.
"Leader Austin, I'm here to apologize!"
he said as he knelt down on one knee.
"What are you doing? Please get up! You don't have to do this!"
Ismail's sudden actions caught Austin by surprise.
"Leader Austin, you saved our Blue Ocean Universe Community. We owe you immensely.
But we were so self-absorbed and ungrateful that we offended you. We are truly ashamed of
ourselves," the white-haired premium-grade divine god now spoke in a humble manner.
He no longer put on airs in front of Austin just like he did earlier. Instead, he showed respect to the
young man.
"Leader Austin, please forgive our lack of manners!"
hundreds of divine gods said, almost in chorus as they all bowed in front of Austin to ask for his
forgiveness.
All these divine gods were the strongest in the Blue Ocean Universe Community. Under normal
circumstances, they all thought highly of themselves and never yielded to others.
But now they all apologized to him and begging for his compassion and consideration.
"Leader Austin, these guys know that they were wrong and they now awfully regret it. Please forgive
them,"
Enoch said with a smile.
"Leader Austin, I know that I made a serious mistake. Please accept my humble apologies,"
Ismail said loudly as he got down on his knees.
He was a short tempered man and his straightforward personality always got him in trouble.
Despite all that, he was a man of principle and he would immediately make things right whenever he
made mistakes.
"Sir, please don't do that. You don't have to.
I didn't get mad at you at all."
Austin finally opened his mouth.
After all, he could see that they were all apologizing to him sincerely.
In fact, Austin never dreamt that these highly regarded divine gods would apologize to him like that.
Although he only felt slightly offended by their rude remarks and behavior, he had already forgiven
them after their sincere apologies.
"Leader Austin, so you have forgiven me?"
Ismail said, very much relieved.
"I've already let it go. I'm a broad-minded person, more than you think,"
Austin replied.
"Leader Austin, you are indeed a considerate person. I will definitely make friends with you.
From now on, please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Anything at all!"
Ismail gushed.
"Leader Austin, you are indeed kind-hearted and generous!"
Seeing Austin's approachable and positive attitude, the other divine gods were also relieved.
Finally, all the divine gods of the Blue Ocean Universe Community unanimously recognized Austin and
even looked up to him after witnessing his impressive display of strength.
"Leader Austin, we have decided that we want you to be the leader of our alliance.
Please don't refuse our offer!"
the white haired premium-grade divine god said to Austin directly.
"Are you sure?
Sir, I am not native to the Blue Ocean Universe Community. I am just a traveler, someone passing
through. Moreover, I do not have the intention of staying here too long.
As flattered and honored as I am for your consideration of me, I don't think that I am qualified to be
your leader. I am sure that you have much better choices for this responsibility than me.
Kind sir, please find another one, someone much more deserving,"
Austin refused straightforwardly.
He had no plans, whatsoever, of becoming the leader of the alliance.
"Leader Austin, I understand your sentiments, but please hear me out first."
The white haired premium-grade divine god was not about to give up easily.
"We have deep grudges and had been waging mortal wars against the Beast City.
Based on a few calculations here, I figure that the army of the Beast City will be attacking us again very
soon.
Therefore, there is an urgent and massive need for all the forces in our universe community to unite
and establish an alliance. Only in that way can we stand a chance against this wretched enemy.
Oh, and one more thing.
If the troops of the Beast City come back with more fighters than before, all the creatures of our Blue
Ocean Universe Community will have to retreat and hide somewhere. It would be impossible for us to
stay here to fight against them.
The Beast City is much too strong for us.
Everyone knows that when it comes to our armies, we are nothing compared to them.
From any angle, it's impossible for us to defeat them now.
That is why I have already given it much thought.
If the army of the Beast City is indeed planning on attacking us once more, all the creatures in the Blue
Ocean Universe Community will have no choice but to flee from our homes.
The looming problem is that, the Beast City is much too powerful and there is a high chance that their
sphere of influence covers the entire Sea of Chaos.
Therefore, I have thought about it for a long time and decided to serve under your command, backed
by all the creatures in our universe community. We will acknowledge you as our leader and fight
against the beast race under your leadership,"
the white haired premium-grade divine god continued.
"What?!
You are all willing to serve under my command?"
Austin was rendered speechless.
'The Blue Ocean Universe Community is made of hundreds of cosmoses, and each cosmos consists of
countless small worlds.
The total number of creatures in the Blue Ocean Universe Community is astonishing.
There are at least trillions of living beings in this universe community.
I don't think I can work out the total number of the creatures in this universe community just like that.
Am I ready to have so many creatures follow me?
This is just insane!' Austin thought to himself in sheer astonishment.
"Leader Austin, there is something that you must know.
There is a big city called the Infinite City, which is still in the Blue Ocean Universe Community.
It is considerably a large city that could accommodate countless creatures.
In addition, the city can move around freely.
We will have to initiate talks with the governor of the Infinite City, Miss Flora, and convince her into
providing shelter for us. If she agrees, we can settle down there for the time being,"
the white haired premium-grade divine god said as if he could read Austin's mind.
"Oh, so there is a big city that can accommodate countless creatures?"
Austin repeated just to make sure.
"Yes, there is.
Leader Austin, the Infinite City has a very long history, dating back to ancient times. I heard that it has
existed ever since the universes were created.
It is a landmark building in our Blue Ocean Universe Community.
No one knows how long this city has existed and where it came from.
All I know if that the Infinite City was already there when the Blue Ocean Universe Community was
created,"
Enoch explained.
"So, Leader Austin, as long as you agree to lead us and fight against the beast race, we shall go
together and pay Miss Flora a visit and humbly ask her to allow us to enter and seek refuge in the
Infinite City.
From here on, all leaders and divine gods shall serve by your side.
If we continue to stay here, we are sure to die. But if we follow you, we will at least have a fighting
chance to survive,"
the white haired premium-grade divine god said.
"I see..."
Austin was at a loss and didn't know what to say or do.
'It's not a bad thing to have so many divine gods at my disposal, ' Austin thought.
"Leader Austin, if you agree, we will also present to you a gift which is one of the most important
treasures in the Blue Ocean Universe Community. So far no one has managed to unlock its deepest
secrets.
Rumor has it that it contains a mysterious martial arts skill that no one in history has ever mastered.
I also heard that this formula helps creatures develop their physical potential. If I am not mistaken, they
call it the Introduction to Vital Energy... or something like that. I can't remember its full name.
That's all I know about the treasure. There are also a few stories and legends about this treasure, most
of which have already been forgotten,"
the white-haired premium-grade divine god concluded.
"What? !"
Hearing this, Austin almost jumped to his feet.
'Is he referring to the Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation? !'
Austin thought as a massive thrill came over him.
