The middle-aged man was dressed in a golden-yellow robe, with a broad forehead and sharp eyes.
He was the leader of the Space Sect and exuded a kind of easy confidence.
In the hall, more than a dozen senior members of the Space Sect were gathered.
Everyone sighed in grief and even a little terrified.
"Austin is on his way here. We have to figure out something, quickly. Otherwise, our sect will be in danger!"
an old man with white hair said, punctuating the urgency of his statement with a deep breath.
"What can we do to protect ourselves?
Austin's strength is way too terrifying.
It's impossible for us to fight against him!
Think about it. There are eight divine gods and hundreds of Divine Realm masters backing him up.
With such strength, how can we even stand against him?"
a middle-aged man with a ferocious face said in a low but hurried voice.
Everyone else in the room fell silent.
"Well, what do you think about this?"
the sect leader asked as he gazed up at a thin elder.
This elder was an intelligent man, and everyone was convinced of his powers of reason.
"I think the only thing we can rely upon now is the Sect-protecting Array.
Immediately order all the people to return to the area covered by the Sect-protecting Array! Tell them to hold it to their last breath.
Maybe we can avert this disaster,"
the elder responded slowly. Though he tried to sound confident, doubt crept up in his voice.
"Yes, you are correct. This is the only thing we can do at this moment,"
the sect leader said with a slight nod.
"By the way, what do the two divine gods think?
After all, they are in charge of the Space Sect now!"
the white haired old man suddenly asked.
Like many other sects in the three thousand big and small universes, the Space Sect had also sought refuge with two divine gods. They relied upon them for protection.
The two divine gods had then become the supreme leaders of the Space Sect.
"I've already asked them for their opinion. They also think that we should make concessions and not pick a fight with Austin.
And, if necessary, we have to give in to Austin, beg for mercy and agree to his unreasonable requests,"
the sect leader said slowly in a defeated tone.
It was obvious to everyone observing the conversation that even the two divine gods were afraid of Austin.
"I can't believe that a nobody like him could grow to such a high level today,"
the sect leader exclaimed desperately.
In the hall, an eerie silence descended once again.
"Now, we have to defend the Sect-protecting Array to the very end.
If we fail, we will have to do as our leader said. Give in to Austin, beg for mercy, and even agree to his unreasonable requests. That is unacceptable.
But anyway, we don't want to have a conflict with him,"
the thin elder added.
"Okay. It's decided."
The sect leader nodded in agreement to the plan.
At that very moment, they heard loud explosions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was a terrible wave of energy brimming outside the headquarters of the Space Sect, shaking the starry sky.
Strong auras came overwhelmingly, violently impacting the heaven and earth, and everything between was left trembling.
An aggressive army was approaching from afar, shaking the universe and causing the stars to tremble.
"Listen, people of the Space Sect!
Today, the leader of the Fallen Immortal Cosmos, Austin Lin, and I, the leader of the Divine Sect, have come together.
All of you come out now and welcome us!
Otherwise, with a wave of my hand, the army will immediately crush your headquarters to dust!"
A triumphant roar resounded from the army, shaking the entire starry sky.
"Grandpa Heavenly Majestic Pot, you are so awesome!"
Violet shouted as she clapped her hands excitedly. She liked to join in the merriment the most.
"Ha-ha! I'm flattered, child.
As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean. I have just taken office. Of course I have to build up my prestige.
Now it's best to start with killing these members of the Space Sect,"
the Heavenly Majestic Pot said, pretending to remain dignified.
Caroline, Ivy and others covered their mouths and giggled like schoolgirls.
Austin just stood aside and squinted ahead.
