"Okay, I'll take you to see them,"
one of the beasts said.
"Thank you, sir,"
Austin replied politely.
He quickly conjured up an avatar and sent it to the Sea of Chaos to keep an eye on Humphrey.
"Come with me,"
the beast said, leading the way.
"Thank you!"
Austin immediately nodded and followed the beast.
The two of them strolled into the palace,
which was filled with boundless grey fog.
Austin stuck close to the beast so that he wouldn't get lost amidst the surging grey fog.
To his surprise,
the beast's bodily movement skill was very mysterious, something he had never encountered before.
The beast's movements were neither fast nor slow, but with every step it took, it seemed to leap through space and time.
Moreover, the space and time around it were constantly fluctuating.
Austin had to use all his efforts just to keep up with it.
But instead of being weary and exhausted, he was excited that he had to exert such effort.
He couldn't help but marvel over the beast's ability. After all, his own bodily movement skill was much more powerful than that of an ordinary governing god.
But right now, he was simply no match for the beast!
Soon, with the beast's guidance,
Austin found himself in front of an ancient altar that exuded what could only be described as the residue of mottled time.
The malicious beast stepped on the altar, and Austin followed suit.
For a moment, there was complete silence. Then, a strong force swept over the whole altar like waves, drowning it.
The two of them were teleported away to a dark void.
"Here we are." The beast's voice echoed throughout the space, which was so dark that they could no longer see each other with their eyes.
There seemed to be no source of light at all.
Fortunately, they could perceive each other with their spiritual senses,
so it didn't matter to them.
Nevertheless, Austin felt that the space they had arrived in was dull and depressing.
There seemed to be almost nothing worth noting in their surroundings.
In fact, he was confused as to why the beast had brought him here.
"That's where they are,"
the beast said, pointing at a tall stone wall in front of them.
There was a stone door embedded in the wall, seemingly leading to nothing but the space past the wall. The whole structure seemed meaningless.
However, Austin found himself surprised when he tried to perceive how big the stone wall was. It seemed to extend endlessly, without any edges.
"Inside this stone wall is actually a supreme universe. That's where all your friends are,"
the beast told him.
"What? So the Buddhist saying is true?
Everything—a flower, a blade of grass, a grain of sand, and even a piece of stone—is actually a universe of its own?"
Austin exclaimed in great shock.
Once again, he had learned how amazing the laws of space and time were. Although he had extensive knowledge, he constantly made new discoveries that came as a surprise to him.
"Yes, the laws of space and time are indeed amazing.
Even a governing god cannot dare to say that he has a thorough understanding of the laws of space and time.
Perhaps only by reaching the ultimate step can one truly understand the mystery of the space and time,"
the beast explained sagely.
Then, it stepped forward and walked towards the stone door,
motioning for Austin to follow.
Once they were in front of the door, the beast murmured a few foreign words, casting a spell. The stone door instantly swung open of its own accord.
After they entered through the doorway, Austin found himself greeted by a crooked passageway.
On both sides of the passageway were white stone walls, engraved with mysterious patterns.
They walked along the passageway for a long time before finally reaching the end.
When they strolled out of the exit,
they were suspended in a chaotic void that was tinted with light blue fog for billions of miles around.
There were many bright stars densely packed together, forming a dazzling galaxy like silver sequins floating in the boundless void.
