Austin and his friends waited outside the palace.
Half a day later, Princess Gracie and an old man emerged through its gates.
The elder wore a white robe and looked energetic.
Austin had met him here before. He was none other than Peterson.
Of course the elder in front of them was just a spiritual soul mark instead of his real form.
"Master!"
The silver giant, the mummy and the huge beast rushed forward and knelt down before the elder.
"Ha-ha! Get up, all of you. Thank you for what you have done for me all these years,"
Peterson said with an amiable smile.
The eleven holy trees came forward and greeted Peterson.
"We meet again, old bastard," the supreme holy tree addressed.
All the holy trees greeted the elder respectfully, except for the supreme holy tree.
Peterson knew the supreme holy tree well, so he didn't get mad at it. As a matter of fact, it was how they had been greeting each other all this time.
"Nice to meet you, sir."
Austin also went up to him and paid his respects.
"We meet again, kid.
It was fate that brought us together,"
Peterson replied, flashing Austin a smile without putting on airs.
"Don't worry. You're safe here.
They are merely some genuine immortals. Don't be afraid of them,"
Peterson said to Austin and his friends with a reassuring smile.
Apparently, Princess Gracie had told him what had happened.
Peterson used to be a well-known, remarkable figure and few could be on par with him. Hence, he didn't take several genuine immortals seriously.
With him on their side, all of them felt confident and relieved. They decided to stay in the Celestial Palace.
However, Austin had some concerns with the current situation of the universe in mind.
'Currently, four masters at the Genuine Immortal Realm have appeared.
This way, it looks like the universe will be undergoing some changes.
Two of the masters are from the underworld and the other two are from the Divine Sect.
No one in the universe would dare be a match for them.
In other words, from now on, the underworld and the Divine Sect will be the most powerful forces in the entire universe.
Needless to say, they are invincible.
I'm afraid that there will be no force that's now willing to fight against the underworld.
Since the Divine Sect is from another universe, I don't think that they will help us against the underworld.'
The thought made Austin frown.
The more he thought, the more worried he got.
In the Black Hell City of the Tomb Star Cluster...
"What? The woman in the Ancient Forbidden Land is that powerful?"
Ervin was shaken up upon hearing the report of the two commanders.
"Prince Ervin, I can see that the two old men from the Divine Sect attach much importance to that bitch called Princess Gracie. It seems that they came here just for her.
So I guess there must be something special about her.
I think we should make a deeper investigation on that woman and find out everything about her, especially her background,"
Commander Graves said.
"Yes, you have a point.
The people from the Divine Sect always think highly of themselves. They usually live in seclusion and pretend to be remarkable masters. A lot of people easily believe the fancy tricks that they show.
But now they sent two genuine immortals here to deal with a woman's soul.
Looks like that woman is an important figure. A very important figure.
Well, I'll send a message to the underworld and ask Buddha's Ear to look into that woman,"
The shadow of the pod seemed unwilling to go to that universe.
"Because you're special. Your soul can be separated from you. No one else has that kind of ability.
I have instructed Elder Orlando and Elder Read to take your body there.
You're the perfect choice for this mission because your soul has been seriously injured and so your power is now not what it used to be.
If I send other masters there, they might fail to control their strength and destroy that universe.
You know, according to the Ancient Peace Agreement, great masters of a high-level world are by no means, allowed to descend to a lower world to start a fight without a good reason,"
the leader of the Divine Sect replied in a loud voice.
"But my lord, that agreement is just a legend. No one has ever seen it or even touched it.
There is no need to abide by it.
Even if we break the rules stated therein, I am sure that we will not be in trouble,"
the shadow of the pot said.
"Stop talking nonsense!
There are some things about it that you don't know. I can assure you that it is not a legend. It really exists.
Even the masters in the Immortal World have adhered to the Ancient Peace Agreement for so many years, and they have never breached it.
All right, I don't want to hear any more nonsense. You should get going now,"
the voice once again boomed, more seriously this time.
"I understand, my lord. I'm on my way there," the shadow of the pot agreed reluctantly with a nod.
It then turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the chaotic void.
A moment later, something strange occurred in the universe where Austin was.
The entire universe shook abruptly as if it was under attack. Then there was dead silence.
Then it came into view—a huge magic pot appeared just outside the universe, coming in at lightning speed.
Boom!
At that moment, the entire universe was in chaos. Dark clouds gathered and the wind blew furiously. Some nearby planets exploded. The endless energy hurricane was blowing everywhere, as if the end of the world had dawned.
