"Miss Flora, is that really you?"
Austin asked as he stared at the woman in white clothing.
"Hey, young man. Do you know her?
How could that be?
You're not even from this universe."
The eight governing gods of the wood puppet race were shocked when they heard Austin utter the woman's name.
Their eyes opened wide and they couldn't believe what they heard.
After all, the maternal tree of their race told them the situation at the bottom of the abyss a long time ago.
And according to the maternal tree, the woman in white must have been here all this time.
She had been guarding the piece of wood at the bottom of the abyss, so there was no way that Austin met her in some other place.
There had to be some mistake there.
Most probably, the young man must be mistaking her for someone else.
"Young man, you can't possibly know her. You're just mistaking her for someone else.
She has been in this place for a long time. I believe that she's even far older than your great grandfather. There's no way that you have met her before.
Come on. We already got the holy treasure. Let's go back now.
This place is very dangerous.
We should leave as soon as possible,"
one of the governing gods continued to persuade Austin.
The pressure that they felt from the bottom of the abyss was too great and became more unbearable with each passing second.
Although Austin aided them in withstanding most of the enormous pressure, they were still enveloped by fright and felt like something wrong might happen at any time.
Especially after they saw the woman in white who was standing there, looking like a fierce beast waiting for her prey, their hearts were racing due to extreme fear.
The moment they saw her, they had a strong feeling that she might devour them if they didn't leave right away.
"Miss Flora, it's me, Austin. Don't you recognize me?
What are you doing here?"
Austin called the woman a few more times. He was so sure that she was the woman he knew, so he didn't want to give up until she recognized him.
Currently, his spiritual sense was much stronger than that of any ordinary governing god.
Hence, he was convinced that the aura he was sensing from the woman in white was the exact same one from Flora.
However, no matter how many times Austin called to her, the woman didn't respond.
In fact, she didn't even bother to look at Austin.
It made him feel a little frustrated and doubtful.
"Am I really mistaken?
If it is really Miss Flora, there is no way that she'd ignore me..."
Austin murmured to himself with furrowed brows.
"Young man, we already told you. You've got the wrong person.
Come on. We have to go now.
None of us can stand this place any longer,"
another governing god started to urge Austin.
"All right. Let's get out of here first,"
Austin finally agreed to them.
"Great! Let's hurry up!"
The eight governing gods were relieved to hear Austin's response.
They were actually starting to worry that Austin would insist on staying at the bottom of the abyss and engage with the woman in white.
"Do you believe us now?
She might just have some similarities with the woman you know. Don't think too much into it."
"That's right.
There are countless beauties in the world. With your strength, it won't be hard for you to meet someone more beautiful than her.
Don't waste your time on such a peculiar woman."
"Indeed!
How about this? After we go out, I'd ask my clansmen to look for a large number of human beauties for you. Then, afterward, you can make your choice.
For now, the most important thing is for us to safely get out of here as soon as possible."
The eight governing gods were rattled and consumed with anxiety. They blurted out things that didn't make sense already.
All they had in mind was to convince Austin to leave that place.
On the other hand, they also wished to immediately ask the maternal tree for rewards, now that they already obtained the holy treasure.
The wood puppet race had been longing for this holy treasure for such a long time.
