"You don't have to say anything more. | won't change my mind,"
Caroline stated, completely unmoved.
"Caroline, you..."
Although Thad used all the tricks up his sleeve, not a single one worked at all. Unbearable anger filled him and he couldn't do
anything but grit his teeth.
"Ancestor, Austin's a good man.
As a matter of fact, our clan have received a lot of favor and support from him in the past."
Even Caroline's mother, Lady Nathalie, plucked up the courage to softly offer her own assurance.
Moreover, she knew it was impossible to separate Caroline and Austin. Since she didn't want her daughter to suffer unnecessary
pain, she gathered the courage to speak.
"Enough! Stop it!
Caroline, I'll give you stto think about it.
| hope you'll understand me!"
Thad shouted.
With a wave of his hand, a terrible law power enveloped Caroline and quickly whisked her away from sight.
"Caroline... Where is she going?"
Lady Nathalie murmured.
"Don't worry. She's fine.
| infused a cultivation method into her Soul Sea and sent her away to meditate and cultivate it.
She's the apple of my eye. | must train her well,"
Thad calmly explained to ease her worries.
A wisp of Basil's spiritual soul energy was inside Caroline's body. Additionally, her talent was nothing to sneeze at. There was no
way that Thad would ever hurt her. He would cultivate her with all his strength instead.
"Nathalie, don't worry. Ancestor is very kind to Caroline. He won't harm a hair on her head,"
the Evil Shadow King secretly whispered to Lady Nathalie.
"I know! I'm just too worried about Caroline. | don't need you to remind me."
Lady Nathalie snapped at her husband.
Meanwhile, a storm was brewing in the headquarters of the gods of light.

Not a single word left Austin ever since he cback.
Fury filled him at the thought that he couldn't protect his beloved woman.
"Austin, don't worry about it. Caroline is Thad's descendant.
As far as I'm concerned, Thad would never hurt Caroline. He'd even protect her,"
Oswald soothed.
Relief filled Austin when he heard Oswald's assurance.
"To be honest, Thad is a strong and decent man, and we used to be friends.
But sadly he ended up throwing himself into Hackett and Elliot's team to becone of the top masters of the dark side."
Oswald let out a sigh as he recalled the past.
"What?! No... No matter what, | can't rest assured until Caroline is by my side.
| have to find a way to bring her back!"
Austin clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth as his anger returned tenfold.
"It'll be very difficult for you to take Caroline back from Thad.
He's much more powerful than any ordinary premium-grade divine god,"
Frost sighed tiredly.
It was at that moment that the very air seemed to shift.
"What?"
All the faces of the three premium-grade divine gods, Frost, Brain and Oswald, changed at the stime.
"It seems that another top god of darkness has returned."
A grim expression crossed Frost's face.
"The Premium-grade divine gods of the isolated alien spaces are finally here,"
Brain murmured.
"Their group's rather powerful."
Even Oswald's face becgrave.
Considering that the three premium-grade divine gods paid so much attention to them, there was no denying that the top masters
of the gods of darkness and the isolated alien spaces who just arrived must be very powerful.
The others, including Peterson the Taoist Ancestor, Morphy and Otis, were all stunned as they didn't notice anything unusual.
However, it didn't take them long to figure it out.
It hit them that more gods of darkness and masters from the isolated alien spaces must have returned. Based on the reactions of
their comrades, they must be all premium-grade divine gods.
Medium-grade divine gods couldn't sense traces of their presence at all.
"Let's go out and have a look,"
Frost decided.
"Got it."
Brain and Oswald nodded as one.
Without missing a beat, the three premium-grade divine gods disappeared in a flash.
"I'm going back to the Fallen Immortal Cosmos."
A frustrated Austin bowed to the others and quickly left the gods of light's base.
Although Peterson the Taoist Ancestor and Otis wanted to persuade Austin, they didn't know what to say.
Austin activated the Reincarnation Token and went back to the Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
"Austin! Have you found Caroline and the Evil Shadow King?"
Kevin rushed towards Austin as soon as he discovered that he cback.
After he refined the original energy essence of the Fallen Immortal Cosmos, he could now use it to reach any location within the
Fallen Immortal Cosmos in the blink of an eye.
"Austin, where's Caroline? Didn't you find her?"
Before Austin could answer, Ivy, Sue, Violet, the gnome, the divine silkworm, and all the others also arrived.
All of them were at the Divine Realm, so their senses were very sensitive.
"The evil shadow race found their ancestor."
Gloom covered Austin like a dark cloud. Under the weight of the crowd's questioning eyes, his tongue felt like lead and he lost all
desire to speak.
"Is the ancestor of the evil shadow race really back? That's amazing!
The Evil Shadow King really managed to lead his clansmen and find their ancestor!"
Both excitement and shock filled Kevin.
"That's right.
Now the members of the evil shadow race are with their ancestor, so is Caroline.
The ancestor of the evil shadow race was actually a god of darkness.
So now, all the members of the evil shadow race, including Caroline, are in the base camp of the gods of darkness,"

Austin explained tiredly.
After saying his piece, Austin took a step forward and disappeared in an instant.
"What? How can that be?!"
It was like a bomb dropped in front of them. Everyone was shocked because of Austin's words.
"The ancestor of the evil shadow race is a god of darkness.
Caroline's in the base camp of the gods of darkness right now. What... What's going on?"
Violet's mouth gaped in surprise, and her mind was in a daze.
While the rest were trying to digest what he said, Austin had already arrived at the depths of the starry sky in the Fallen Immortal
Cosmos. He immediately sat down cross legged.
"Caroline, don't worry. Just wait for me.
I'll definitely bring you back!
Just you wait and see, Thad. You'll regret this!"
Austin murmured, with a terrifyingly blank expression settling over his face.
"I'm still too weak.
| can barely put up a fight against an ordinary medium-grade divine god.
In the face of a premium-grade divine god, I'll be even weaker than an ant!
All I need to do is to make myself stronger!"
Austin firmly declared.
"In terms of realms, I'm a preliminary-grade divine god now. If | want to break through to be at least a medium-grade divine god, |
still need to spend lots of tto cultivate. | have no idea how long it'll take forto break through."
Austin began to study himself to make a plan.
The higher a cultivator's realm became, the more difficult it would be for him to break through.
"If | want to quickly improve my fighting power, | have to start with secret martial arts skills.
Actually... I'm already good at a secret technique that no one else knows, the Earth Exploring Technique!"
Austin assured himself.
Once he took stock of his current abilities, he waved his hand to make hundreds of books fly out of his Space Ring and settle in
front of him.
These hundreds of books were bought from different bookstore in the Brilliant Kingdom after Austin returned to Earth.
Each ancient book contained information about geography and geomancy passed down from the ancient Brilliant Kingdom.
