News of the approaching army spread fast through the Sea of Chaos.
Everyone was shocked to the core by Humphrey's fearless declaration of war.
Meanwhile, in a secret chamber deep in the void of the three thousand big and small universes,
Austin was sitting cross-legged, calmly comprehending the laws which his statue master had
transferred into his Soul Sea.
These were all original chaotic laws, namely the law of polarity, the law of life, and the law of thunder.
Austin had already cultivated to such a stage that his spiritual soul energy and spiritual sense were
stronger than those of ordinary governing gods.
Moreover, he had possession of the spiritual tree, the spiritual heart, the spiritual dragon, and even the
Chaotic Ice Lotus, all of which were rare treasures that benefited the spiritual soul. These treasures
could drastically enhance his comprehension ability.
On top of that, he also had the physique of the Chaotic Heaven Body, which had a natural affinity for all
kinds of original chaotic laws.
Therefore, while it was almost unthinkable for other cultivators at his level or even above his level to
comprehend the original chaotic laws, it was a piece of cake for him.
Besides, Austin had always had a passion for learning and growing. He would never stop until he had
attained unbeatable strength, and maybe not even then. That was what made him a formidable foe.
"The law of polarity has entered the Rudimentary Stage!"
he exclaimed all of a sudden,
his eyes lighting up in excitement.
This meant that he had mastered another kind of original chaotic law.
"Now, I'm going to begin to comprehend the law of life,"
he murmured to himself.
But just then,
he received a message from Santos through spiritual sense,
informing him that Humphrey had begun to attack the six super forces.
He was a little disappointed that he would have to put his cultivation on hold for the time being,
but duty called.
The alliance was also one of the super forces, which meant that Humphrey could come to the three
thousand big and small universes at any time.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Austin to cultivate in seclusion and meditate here
anyway. It would be like going for a swim when the whole world was ending.
The approach of Humphrey's army was a sign that yet another tense era in the Sea of Chaos had
arrived.
Naturally, none of the six super forces was willing to submit to Humphrey,
but they couldn't reason with him, either.
Since he had made up his mind to conquer the six super forces, they were all prepared to fight back
with all their might.
Lost in thought, Austin walked out of the secret chamber and over to Santos.
"Austin, I've ordered every divine god in the three thousand big and small universes to make full
preparations.
I've also sent about a dozen your genuine divine god slaves to the Yellow Cosmos.
If the situation deteriorates, the creatures in the Yellow Cosmos will be forcefully taken away,"
Santos explained as soon as he saw Austin.
"Thank you, master,"
Austin said, frowning in thought. "Which super force does Humphrey plan on dealing with first?"
Santos shook his head.
"I don't know yet,
but I hope it's not our three thousand big and small universes.
Anyway,
the divine gods will report back to me soon," he replied.
He had barely finished his sentence when the expression on his face changed.
Austin immediately knew that Santos must have gotten some information from his subordinates, so he
looked expectantly at his master.
As he had guessed, Santos said,
"Humphrey is going to attack the Novel Court first.
His army is already heading towards their headquarters."
Austin nodded, and the frown on his face deepened.
"Well, that's far from surprising, isn't it?
The first super force that he chose to attack last time was also the Novel Court.
Of course, after he disappeared,
the troops of the Novel Court regained their headquarters and managed to rebuild it.
But I predicted that Humphrey would choose to attack a different super force.
It's interesting that he's actually quite stubborn on this matter."
Although his words weren't explicit, Santos knew exactly what he was thinking.
"You're right.
It once again proves that Humphrey and Ronnie are actually the same person."
"Austin!"
All of a sudden, they heard a third voice coming from the chaotic void outside the three thousand big
and small universes.
The next moment, the creature that the voice belonged to appeared in front of them, shrouded in
mysterious law power that concealed its identity from head to toe.
Austin was taken aback at first,
but with his ability,
he could tell at a glance that the creature in front of him was a governing god.
"What is it?"
he asked calmly, knowing that this stranger's arrival must have something to do with Humphrey.
"Austin, I'm sure you know the current situation.
Humphrey is not someone who can be underestimated.
We six super forces must join hands to defeat him.
If we can't get rid of him, there will be no more peace in the Sea of Chaos,"
the governing god said solemnly. When he saw the inquiring look on Austin's face, he continued.
"So, Austin, I'm here to invite you to fight against Humphrey with us.
Of course, I'm also talking about the twelve masters from the Fallen Divine Valley,"
the governing god announced his intention.
"You're inviting me to fight on your side?" Austin smiled,
and an imperceptible glint of disdain crossed his face.
"Yes, exactly,"
the governing god confirmed.
Austin chuckled as if he had heard the funniest thing in his life. "I'll come there to help you, and in the
course of our cooperation, you five super forces will find an opportunity to kill me as well. Isn't that
right?"
he asked with a sneer, not bothering to hide his emotions anymore.
"Austin, what do you mean?"
the governing god exclaimed in rage, as if aggrieved by Austin's question.
"Isn't that what you did last time?
Do you think I'll be fooled by you again?"
Austin snorted.
Hearing Austin's words, the governing god immediately changed tacks. "Austin, right now, Humphrey is
our common enemy.
Don't you know how powerful he is?
To be honest, Austin, you are absolutely no match for him on your own.
If he comes here, the three thousand big and small universes would be destroyed left in ruins.
If you want to save yourself and the three thousand big and small universes, you have no other choice
but to cooperate with us.
Just let bygones be bygones!"
he warned angrily.
However, Austin just burst out laughing. "Thank you for your advice,
but I'm even more afraid of cooperating with despicable people like you than I am of Humphrey.
Please leave now."
Previously when Ronnie had declared war on the super forces,
the governing gods of the other five super forces had also invited Austin to fight him together.
But back then, as soon as they found the opportunity, they had united to stand against Austin.
In Austin's eyes, it was akin to being stabbed in the back by a friend. What was the point of having
allies if they just turned against each other when they saw fit? It was impossible for him to cooperate
with such loathsome people again.
Of course, the governing god took Austin's refusal as a personal offence.
"Well, Austin, just wait and see!
Union is strength.
Since the five of us are going to stand together,
Humphrey might decide to change his target and deal with you first.
When that happens,
you'll regret the decision you made today, but it'll be too late!
Humph!"
The governing god waved his hand irritably in the air before disappearing into the void as quickly as he
had come.
Santos, who had been silent until now, turned to Austin with a perplexed look on his face.
He partly agreed with the governing god that their best chance of defeating Humphrey was standing
together, so he couldn't understand why Austin had turned him down so arrogantly.
"Master, if the five super forces can't defeat Humphrey together,
having me there would make no difference.
We'll still be no match for Humphrey,"
Austin said, answering the question in his master's eyes.
"But what if Humphrey really chooses to change his target to us?
Then..."
Santos trailed off worriedly.
"Ha! The five super forces have never been kind to us.
They've always hoped that our three thousand big and small universes would disappear as soon as
possible.
Even if I choose to cooperate with them now, they definitely won't come to our aid when Humphrey
attacks us. In fact, they'll be very happy to see the downfall of the three thousand big and small
universes,"
Austin explained.
Hearing this well-thought-out analysis, Santos nodded.
"That's true.
It's indeed unnecessary to cooperate with a force that wouldn't help us in our time of need."
"Exactly.
Master, I'll go and check on the Novel Court now,"
Austin said.
Then, he returned to the secret chamber where he had been cultivating in seclusion and created an
avatar to tail Humphrey's troops.
By this time, Humphrey and his army had almost reached the headquarters of the Novel
Court.
