"What?"
The statement the nine successors heard from the young man made them hesitate.
Then, using his mind, Austin released the fragment of the Death River.
It grew bigger and bigger until it was enormous enough to make any man cower in its presence.
From a black river, it suddenly transformed into a raging sea with tempestuous waves. Overwhelming energy encapsulated the entire place!
Austin, the chaotic sky-devouring beast, and the leader of the Reincarnation Palace stood in its midst.
As the sea surged in an unforgiving manner, the dense black fog spread above it.
"Austin, this fragment of the Death River contains brilliant law of reincarnation. It is incredibly powerful.
Back in their day, even some gods of chaos couldn't destroy it.
Now that you stand over the Death River, you don't need to fear these creatures of darkness.
They can't approach nor hurt you,"
Old Lady Meng explained.
Eons ago, the Memory Bridge stood right above the Death River. She was tasked to guard the bridge at all times. Hence, she was very familiar with its dynamic.
"It's the Death River's fragment!
This brat really refined it," the creature of darkness who was a level-eight governing god seethed in annoyance.
Daunted at the scene before him, he narrowed his eyes at the black sea.
In the past, he had entered the Black Fog Valley multiple times and tried to refine this fragment of the Death River but to no avail.
Therefore, he knew how powerful the fragment of the Death River truly was.
"Come here. Join me,"
Austin requested, addressing the nine successors of the reincarnation race.
"Okay!
Let's join them!" they replied enthusiastically.
Sensing the immense energy the black sea contained, they were both astounded and elated. They quickly rushed to Austin's side.
"Have them surrounded!"
the powerful creature from the darkness race ordered, his face contorted in unexplainable anger.
As soon as he gave the order, countless of his men surrounded the entire sea.
"Humph!
Brat, even though you have managed to refine the fragment of the Death River, it won't change anything!
You're still going to die in our hands.
I don't believe you can stay here for the rest of your life!"
the powerful creature from the darkness race mocked.
"If you give me the fragment of the Death River,
perhaps I can consider sparing your life and letting you go.
However, if you refuse, I'll kill you on the spot,"
he continued, his darkened gaze locked upon Austin.
"Or, I can give you another choice.
I have to admit that you possess great talent and strength.
If you sever your ties with the reincarnation race, join our race, work for us,
and give me the fragment of the Death River,
I can guarantee you, no one will ever dare hurt you.
Our race will protect you and help you nurture your strength further.
What do you say?
I want you to consider this offer thoroughly.
Countless members of your race had already joined our side.
It would be a wise decision for you, too,"
he coaxed further when he did not hear a reply from Austin.
"That being said, I want to offer you guys the same thing," the powerful creature from the darkness race suddenly turned to the nine successors of the reincarnation race. Then, he proposed even more.
"If you are also willing to switch sides, we can give you power, wealth and everything else you want. Just name it, we will provide.
