"Why can't you just leave me alone, old man?"
Austin sensed that the governing god of the underworld closely followed him. It was getting on his
nerves, so he shot him an irritated look.
His fight with that governing god was particularly short. They went against each other for only less than
ten rounds.
Despite the brief duration, it was enough time for Austin to figure out his fighting capacity.
From what he could infer, he realized that he couldn't beat the governing god of the underworld.
Austin knew that if he kept fighting against the governing god,
he would lose even if he gave his best.
Fortunately, he had remarkable strong physical strength and qualities.
He had acquired the Chaotic Heaven Body and the special body of the heaven metal race. On top of
that, he had mastered the complete Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation. Adding all that up, his body
was almost indestructible.
Calculating his chances, Austin took the risk—he had confronted the governing god.
If it weren't for his physical body, Austin would have gotten killed multiples times during their previous
battle.
'If I want to defeat a governing god, I still need to work harder!' Austin figured.
There was a sense of determination within him.
"Look!
Austin escaped!"
"He managed to elude the grasp of a governing god! That is no small feat. Anybody who would face
against them could've easily died."
"I agree. He should be proud of this achievement. This is definitely one for the books.
From now on, Austin has found his place and will be considered a noteworthy individual in the Sea of
Chaos."
"Imagine that? Even a governing god couldn't take him down!
Austin is indeed amazing beyond words!"
The battle between Austin and the governing god of the underworld was definitely the talk of the town.
Countless creatures in the entire Sea of Chaos were awed in their ferocious battle. Albeit short, it was
enough to astound them.
"Austin! There you are! We've been looking for you."
The twelve animals approached Austin.
Austin was on his way back to the three thousand big and small universes, while the twelve animals
were just about to set off. All of them moved at an astonishing speed.
Hence, they managed to meet each other in just a few moments.
Realizing the predicament he was in, the twelve animals reassured him.
"You don't have to be afraid of him, Austin. Let's go fight that old geezer. We're with you."
The tiger rubbed its paws together and ravenously glared at the governing god of the underworld.
"How dare you mess with people from the Fallen Divine Valley? You are asking for your own demise,
old man.
Come at me. I will teach you a lesson,"
the black bull yelled at their enemy from afar, preparing itself to fight.
"Humph!
It's you again!"
The governing god caught the twelve animals in the corner of his eye. He gave them a snort as his face
darkened.
The twelve animals were very distinguished in the Sea of Chaos.
Since all of them were on Austin's side, he was wise enough to know that he couldn't take on all of
them.
He glanced threateningly at Austin and the twelve animals. Finally, he waved his sleeve, turned around
and vanished into thin air.
"Hey, don't you dare run away from us! Come back. I'd like to go a few rounds with you!" the black bull
called out. It kept screaming curses at the spot where their adversary vanished.
Disappointment was written all over its face. Its sound waves shook the void for billions of miles.
"Huh! Who knew he was such a coward? He ran away when he saw that the situation was not in his
favor."
The tiger shrugged, sharing the disappointment its companion had.
Among the twelve animals, the black bull and the tiger were recognized as the most headstrong and
aggressive.
"It's best if we go back first,"
Austin requested politely to his companions.
"Okay."
The sky-devouring dog nodded.
The twelve animals worked together to create a long-distance spatial teleportation channel. Together,
they went in with Austin and headed for the three thousand big and small universes.
Soon enough,
they had arrived at their destination.
Austin returned to the Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
He transported Caroline, the three mermaids and Violet out of the continent.
"We're back!"
Violet excitedly announced their presence.
"Finally! You're back here in one piece!"
Ivy and Sue quickly darted towards the girls to welcome them.
Realizing what the commotion was all about, Austin's parents also came to give their warm welcome.
"I'm glad that you are back unscathed."
Melina smiled softly. She took Caroline's hand and examined her thoroughly.
She gave her attention to everyone, including the mermaids. Knowing that Caroline wasn't injured at
all, she drew closer to them and checked them. She treated them kindly and lovingly.
Aware that the three mermaids were head over heels in love with Austin,
she treated them as if they were her own daughters already.
"Hey, Austin," Caroline softly called. She looked despondent. "I'm sorry I got you in trouble."
Caroline felt dejected as she recounted what had happened in the Dark Moon Valley.
"Austin, we're..."
The three mermaids stood timidly in front of Austin, trying to say something. However, Melina had
already realized that they were about to apologize for what had happened so she cut them off.
"What are you talking about?
He just did what he was supposed to do.
Before he left, I asked him to bring all of you back, safe and sound. If he let anyone harm a hair on your
heads, I would kick his ass," Melina reprimanded loudly.
She obviously had her favorites—Caroline and the mermaids.
"Well," Austin sheepishly started. He scratched his head, a little embarrassed in front of his mother. "I
brought them back safe and sound, didn't I?"
Austin smiled awkwardly.
He was already a famous figure in the Sea of Chaos. On top of it, he was on the road to becoming one
of the strongest in the Sea of Chaos.
However, he still had to obey his mother's orders. Just like his father and brother, he didn't have the
audacity to displease her.
It was part of his upbringing—to respect his mother no matter what.
Melina was the head of the family, and the rest of them was submissive to her every requirement.
Then, out of the blue, a figure appeared in front of Austin.
"Austin, have you seen Stacy? Did you find her?" he frantically asked.
It was a middle-aged man.
He was Stacy's father—Yannick, who was the owner of the Deep Sea Commercial House in the East
Mainland.
His current business was branched throughout the entire Fallen Immortal Cosmos. He even had
divisions in other cosmoses in the three thousand big and small universes.
His business had expanded more than one million times larger than before.
"Master Yannick..."
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Austin didn't know how to start the conversation.
Austin prioritized the Dark Moon Valley in his exploration because Caroline and the three mermaids
mattered to him more. He fervently wanted to get them back.
He didn't spend much time looking for Stacy.
"The Sea of Chaos is in disorder right now.
I have lost contact with Stacy for so long, and I haven't heard a word on her. What should I do?"
As soon as Yannick saw the pained expression on Austin's face, he already knew. He felt sad and
dejected; he had high hopes that he was finally reuniting with his daughter.
"I can't just stand idly by looking for things to miraculously happen. I'm going out to look for Stacy,"
Yannick decidedly announced after a long pause.
It was obvious that it was a difficult decision for him.
He was now at the Heaven Immortal Realm.
Braving the Sea of Chaos alone was very risky for him.
However, Stacy was his beloved daughter and he couldn't afford to lose her. Hence, he decided to get
her back on his own.
"Austin, can you lend me a high-grade warship?"
Yannick asked.
"Master Yannick," Austin gently answered. "You don't have to do this.
Leave that to me. I will find her."
Austin was terribly worried for that old man. He held his gaze upon his, sealing his promise.
He knew that Yannick would lose his life in the Sea of Chaos as soon as he exposed himself to its
dangers.
"You should have faith in Austin, Yannick.
It would not be difficult for him to find a person in the Sea of Chaos.
Besides, if he couldn't get her back, it would be impossible for you to do that,"
Kevin reasoned out.
"Don't worry, sir. I will bring Miss Stacy back,"
Austin reassured the middle-aged man.
