In a world of nothingness, Austin sat cross legged and meditated quietly.
"Thank god! I finally found a tomb that has something to offer!"
Standing in front of a tomb, Elmer wept with joy.
Then, he also sat cross legged and began to meditate in front of the tomb.
With the two deep into their own meditation, time passed quickly.
Neither of them was able to keep track of time and how much of it had passed.
One day, in the center of a huge square in the tomb area, a portal appeared.
Austin stepped out of the portal.
"I have finally reached a thorough understanding of a complete law of reincarnation.
Moreover, I have reached the Major Achievement Stage.
My Secret Reincarnation Skill is at least a thousand times stronger than before!"
Austin said to himself as he walked out.
"Thank you so much, sir! I sincerely appreciate it!"
he said loudly as he made a deep bow to the tomb in the center of the square.
The legacy of Gene brought him benefits of untold value.
His legacy was mainly related to the law of reincarnation.
The law of reincarnation was known as the most mysterious and also one of the most difficult laws to
comprehend and have a grasp on.
From ancient times until now, there had been countless governing gods who wanted to have a good
understanding of the law of reincarnation, but they didn't know how and where to begin.
But now, Austin was able to master a complete law of reincarnation with very little effort.
Up to now, he had mastery of an impressive six original chaotic laws.
They were the laws of ice, illusion, earth, wood, metal, and reincarnation.
By Austin's estimates, the power of his Overlapping Law Skill had leveled up by at least a hundred
times.
It was because the Overlapping Law Skill did not simply put all kinds of original chaotic laws together,
but instead, multiplied the power.
Whoosh!
Like a servant who was anxious to reunite with his master, the Reincarnation Token flew back to
Austin's hand.
"Since you are now in possession of my inheritance, I look forward to seeing you do something for us
when you can in the future."
A voice came from the tomb.
After that, there was nothing but silence.
"Don't worry, sir. I will try my best as long as the opportunity presents itself,"
Austin replied with much respect.
After that, he left the square.
"I wonder if there are other tombs that are suitable for me. I'll keep trying to look for such tombs."
As he spoke, he moved forward and tried to explore the tombs one by one.
However, the natural laws of this continent, with its heavy suppressing atmosphere, prevented him from
flying. He couldn't even travel through space, nor even teleport himself to a different place.
Because of this, his speed was very slow.
Before he knew it, more than half a month passed.
Austin didn't come across any suitable tomb.
One day, he met Elmer.
Elmer was sitting cross legged in front of a tomb, also meditating.
"It seems that he has at least gained something."
Austin smiled and turned away, not wanting to disturb Elmer.
Again, time flew.
Imperceptibly, half of an entire year had passed, and Elmer had completed his meditation.
It was not until then that Austin and Elmer slowly walked out of the tomb area almost at the same time.
"Well, what are we going to do next?"
asked Elmer, looking at Austin.
"Well, what are we going to do? Since we are already here, there is no need to hurry back, is there?
Let's continue to explore this mysterious continent!"
Austin said after thinking for a while.
Elmer liked the idea, and the two of them continued to go deeper into the continent in search of more
adventures.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A few days later, while they were on their usual morning traverse, a loud noise came from up ahead.
A huge angry river crossed their path and it didn't look like anyone could just wade across safely.
The turbid, muddy yellow river was surging, splashing and roaring with the power of the water.
"There used to be a bridge here, but it appears to have been damaged. I'm not surprised; I mean, look
at that unforgiving tumbling water! It could swallow whole men and animals that could never be seen
again!"
Austin and Elmer found the damaged piers, the ruins and remains of a foundation of a bridge by the
river.
"It's a risk but we can try crossing the water,"
Austin said as he walked toward the riverbank.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All of a sudden, chaotic laws and terrible energy roared from the river as they rushed towards Austin.
Waves of terrifying aura of death raced to him as if intent on destroying him.
Austin's face turned pale with fright.
Despite the current level of his strength, he could feel the deadly laws and energy coming at him. It was
conceivable how terrifying they were.
"Let's go!"
Without any hesitation, Austin immediately used the Secret Reincarnation Skill and instantly teleported
to another space with Elmer.
With the progress he had made in the law of reincarnation, the power of the Secret Reincarnation Skill
had also greatly increased.
"That river is much too dangerous.
With merely our own natural strength, it is impossible to cross it,"
Austin said, shaking his head. He and Elmer moved far away from the river.
"Yes, it is indeed horrible!
It looks like only governing gods are able to cross it,"
Elmer echoed.
Although the river didn't attack him as it did to Austin, he still felt a creepy sense of danger.
"Let's go back. I don't think there is anything else that lies ahead,"
Austin said after staring at the river for a moment.
Then the two of them turned around.
Half a month later, they found themselves near the palaces where the nine-tailed demon fox race lived.
Austin secretly used his spiritual sense to check on Violet.
He planned to ask her about her current situation there.
However, before he could find Violet, the patriarch suddenly appeared in midair, in front of him and
Elmer. He looked down on them.
"Young man, I have read Violet's memories.
And I have come to know your relationship with her.
I apologize that I misunderstood you last time,"
the patriarch said to Austin.
"Master, you are finally back!"
Violet who sensed their presence rushed out from afar and stood in front of Austin, happy and excited
to see him.
Then, her parents, elder brother and some other demon foxes also appeared one after another, coming
out to see what the commotion was all about.
"Well, prepare a banquet for this evening! We have guests to entertain!"
the patriarch ordered with a clap of his hands in the air.
The entire nine-tailed demon fox race was happy to oblige and they held a banquet that night.
The patriarch invited Austin and Elmer to take their seats beside him.
This time, he and Violet's parents wanted to properly express their gratitude to Austin.
"Austin, we cannot begin to thank you for taking care of Violet for all these years,"
Violet's mother said sincerely.
"It was my pleasure.
Violet and I are good friends. It's what any decent man would have done,"
Austin said with a smile.
"Elmer, tell me what's going on with the Heaven Beast Valley and the Sea of Chaos.
I have led my race to hide here, and have been staying here for a long time.
We have been isolated from the outside worlds.
I no longer know anything about it,"
the patriarch said as he turned to Elmer.
"Well, the Heaven Beast Valley and the Sea of Chaos are not doing very well. They are in chaos now..."
Elmer began to tell the patriarch about the current situation.
The patriarch and the senior leaders leaned closer as they listened carefully.
"Hmm, I never thought that the Sea of Chaos would fall into such a dismal situation,"
the patriarch sighed as a pained look flashed across his face.
"Sir, your injury..."
Austin noticed worriedly.
"It's a chronic ailment. There's nothing we can do about that.
Back then, when I fought with Chapman, I was seriously hurt. I thought I wasn't going to make it out
alive.
Now, my strength is at most merely equal to 1/10000th of that during my prime,"
the patriarch sighed.
"That's why I have no choice but to remain hiding here.
I dare not go out anymore, lest I run into Chapman,"
he continued.
"1/10000th of your former strength?"
Austin and Elmer were shocked.
The 1/10000th of the patriarch's strength had already been terrifying. Austin and Elmer knew clearly
that they were no match for the patriarch.
It was inconceivable how powerful the patriarch was at his prime.
'It is fortunate then that we did not have any encounter with Chapman in the Heaven Beast Valley.
Otherwise, who knows if we would still be alive now!'
Austin felt extremely lucky.
