Time passed by slowly.
Over one hundred years had gone by.
One day, Austin's face lit up with delight.
He felt like he was close to a breakthrough.
With a wave of his hand, he collected many fruits of the original crown tree, and then, he proceeded to
swallow them. Almost immediately, thick clouds began to appear in the sky above him. Bolts of
lightning flashed and roared as they streaked across the sky like snakes.
Austin knew that his Thunderstroke Doom was approaching.
Hence, he got up and walked out of the small world to face it.
Since the transition from the first level to the second level of the governing god was not significant,
enduring the Thunderstroke Doom would not be a tremendous challenge to Austin.
A couple of months later, he successfully survived the Thunderstroke Doom and became a level-two
governing god.
He sensed the overwhelming coursing energy through his body.
"Good! My strength has increased significantly," he murmured with a nod, feeling very satisfied.
"Perhaps it's time to step into the outside world,"
Austin said.
He had cultivated in seclusion in the Heavenly Eye Space Sea for over one thousand years. Much
would have changed outside this space sea, and he thought it prudent to explore the outside.
After all, trials and explorations were as crucial as breakthroughs for cultivators.
If cultivators only focused on cultivating and reaching high vital energy realms without traveling and
experiencing things,
their fighting power would not be strong even if their cultivation bases were high.
Austin was fully aware of that.
Therefore, after he reached the second level, he decided to test his limits and further his skills and
future growth potential. It was inadvisable for him to hide in the Heavenly Eye Space Sea for the rest of
his life.
The golden giant came over and said to Austin,
"Congratulations, master! You are now a level-two governing god."
He was also very excited about Austin's breakthrough as he regarded Austin as his master. Austin was
as important to him as Pastor.
"I am planning to enter the Absolute Space Sea to explore."
Austin glanced at the golden giant as he spoke.
"Me too,"
the chaotic sky-devouring beast chimed in when he heard Austin.
After cultivating in the Heavenly Eye Space Sea for over a thousand years, the chaotic sky-devouring
beast had made great progress in his cultivation.
Since he was a legendary beast, the chaotic sky-devouring beast didn't need to spend extended time
on his cultivation. As he grew older, he would automatically remember the secret skills of his race and
become stronger.
However, he had mastered many brilliant martial skills left by Pastor, and thus, made great progress
over these years.
The chaotic sky-devouring beast had already contemplated exploring the Absolute Space Sea. Now
that Austin had expressed an interest in stepping into the outside world, the chaotic sky-devouring
beast saw it as an opportunity.
"That's great. Since your vital energy realm has improved noticeably, it is a good idea to go out and
improve your skills. It would be beneficial for your future cultivation."
The golden giant nodded in agreement.
"But you must be careful, young master. Since you have the Magical Polarity Token with you now,
many governing gods must be targeting you.
Many governing gods have lingered outside the Heavenly Eye Space Sea as they have been waiting
for you to appear.
Be cautious and keep a low profile.
Once the news spread that you have left the Heavenly Eye Space Sea, even the gods of chaos might
come after you.
You are no match for a god of chaos with your current strength,"
the golden giant reminded Austin.
"The Magical Polarity Token is more valuable than you could imagine. Moreover, those governing gods
who have entered the Heavenly Eye Space Sea must covet those original crown trees.
It isn't surprising that the gods of chaos want the original crown tree as well.
Therefore, you must take care of yourself. Once the other governing gods and gods of chaos discover
your presence in the Absolute Space Sea, they will make trouble for you,"
the golden giant added.
"You are right." Austin nodded after a moment of brief, contemplative silence.
'I possess some treasures and secret skills of Master Pastor, not just the Magical Polarity Token. Many
governing gods and gods of chaos will be envious enough to fight me to get hold of these.
It is possible that they will not stop chasing me until they get what they want. I'm indeed in a difficult
situation right now!' Austin frowned as he deliberated upon the situation.
"Oh, I almost forgot something. Master left some runes that can be used for long-distance teleportation
in the Absolute Space Sea.
These runes are incredible treasures.
Please carry them with you and activate them if you are in grave danger.
Even the gods of chaos will be unable to track you once you use the teleportation runes.
I heard from my master that he chanced upon these runes in a cave when he traveled around the
Absolute Space Sea.
He surmised that the runes were made by a supreme god of chaos,"
the golden giant explained.
"Oh?
These teleportation runes sound incredible indeed.
It would be great if they work as you say. I want to see them now!"
Austin responded with elation.
"Young master, please come with me."
The golden giant bowed humbly.
Then, he led Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast to a palace.
Since Pastor had left numerous treasures, they were stored in many different places.
As guided by the golden giant, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast entered the palace.
"Young master, those teleportation runes are in this box,"
the golden giant said as he pointed at a box.
Then he approached the box and opened it.
Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast saw piles of rune papers, each with mysterious old
symbols. Astonishingly, they emitted a strong aura of time and space.
"What a profound spatial law!"
Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast gasped in unison.
"Young master, there seem to be about one hundred rune papers. Please take them with you. They
should be enough.
Even if you cross paths with level-eight or level-nine governing gods, you will not have to bring
embarrassment to yourself by being forced to flee. These rune papers will ensure that you stay safe
when you encounter governing gods.
As such, please try to use them only when you confront gods of chaos.
Well, I've just checked, and there are exactly one hundred rune papers in total. Please use them wisely
as we only have a limited quantity. Don't waste them,"
the golden giant advised Austin.
"I see. I will only use them when necessary,"
Austin replied with a nod.
Then the golden giant closed the box and handed it to Austin.
Austin smiled appreciatively at the golden giant before putting the box away.
