In the Sea of Chaos, the famous giant airship of the Celestial Cyan Kingdom was moving at a pretty-high speed.
The airship ferried about more than twenty divine gods and an enormous amount of young talents.
These well-known divine gods of the Celestial Cyan Kingdom were ordered to carry an important task.
There were about hundreds of thousands of young talents aboard the gigantic ship. Some of them took the time to cultivate in silence, while others chatted to get to know each other.
However, most of them kept their distance from Austin. From time to time, they would secretly look at him as they shivered in fear.
Austin engraved an unforgettable memory in their heads when he killed dozens of masters at the Divine Realm from the Enigmatic Sect in an instant without batting an eye. They could still see the scene vividly in their minds, which made it hard for them to regard him as a normal being.
Many seemed to view Austin as a ruthless man. They dared not to offend him in any way, but at the same time, they harbor ill-intents towards him.
However, not everyone was thinking this way.
"Austin, right?
It's Shepard Wu. I came from the Black Cosmos.
Nice to meet you!"
A relatively stout man walked up to Austin and introduced himself in an enthusiastic tone.
This man looked round as a ball, but he was also one of the distinguished talents at the Divine Realm.
"Oh, hi."
Austin looked at him and nodded slightly.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, but I just want to say that you're awesome! I'm like a fan and you're my idol.
I've seen a lot of other young talents, but there was nothing like you!
Since the first time I witnessed your skills, I told myself that you were a genuine talent. To be more accurate, you are a peerless genius among all cosmos!"
Shepard Wu continued with his sincere declaration of astonishment to Austin's talents.
However, his words immediately aroused severe dissatisfaction among the other young talents around them.
They started glancing at him with unfriendly eyes.
If it weren't for Austin, someone would have already tried to slash Shepard Wu's throat to silence his big mouth.
"Are you sure you want to be saying those things out loud? Aren't you afraid of angering others on this airship?
You must know that most of them dislike me. I'm pretty sure that they'll wait for a chance to gang up on you and kill you,"
Austin answered with a faint smile without any hint of concern on his face. It was as if he was saying that if anything happened to Shepard Wu, it wouldn't be his fault.
Upon hearing Austin's words, Shepard Wu had the reflex to touch his neck and look around in panic. The expression on his face turned kind of pale as he recognized that he had said something rather insensitive.
As he continued to look around, he noticed the glares of the young talents on the ship.
He just originally meant to praise Austin, but along the way, it sounded as if all the other young talents out there were completely weak and useless. Of course, it would greatly exasperate them.
'What a simple-minded guy.'
Austin couldn't help laughing in his heart as he saw the changes on Shepard Wu's face.
After a while, Shepard Wu clenched his fists and faced Austin again saying, "I'm not afraid of anyone else! Because from now on, Austin, I'm going to be your follower!
You can ask whatever you want me to do!"
With a serious face, Shepard Wu just declared in front of everyone that he would like to be Austin's sidekick.
'I admire this guy's determination, ' Austin thought as he secretly smiled.
"So, from now on, I'll be with you and follow you through your adventures."
Shepard Wu immediately sat next to Austin, putting on an air of being a loyal follower.
Austin didn't have any intention of acquiring a follower at this time, but he didn't have the heart to drive a person away who was as earnest as Shepard Wu.
Moreover, despite having a physique that was far from being fit, Shepard Wu was still a powerful cultivator at the Divine Realm.
As a matter of fact, almost all of the young talents in the airship were at the Divine Realm.
In the past few eras, the Divine Realm had already been regarded as the strongest and highest level of existence in Austin's homeland.
However, there were still many people in other worlds of the Sea of Chaos that had reached the Divine Realm at a very young age.
According to Peterson, if the three thousand big and small cosmos didn't take too much damage during the battle among the divine gods, they might have been much stronger than most of the world communities in the entire Sea of Chaos.
Seeing that Shepard Wu desperately clung towards Austin, no other young talents in the airship dared to make a move against him for the time being.
