"Then what happened to the divine gods? Did they perish here or leave for the legendary Gods' Hometown?"
A million questions flooded Austin's mind as he inquired the mountain god about these things.
‘This man used to work for the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the Heavenly Court. Perhaps he knows the whereabouts of the divine
gods.’
"Before the war came, people like us who were responsible for guarding the peace of the mortal world were sealed.
When we acquired freedom, things changed.
| keep in contact with the other mountain gods and we have been looking for the divine gods.
But until today, we haven't had any clue."
The mountain god sighed despondently.
"What are you saying? Do you mean there are other mountain gods aside from you?"
Austin felt his heart skipped a beat at this surprising new development.
"Yes.
There are quite a few mountain gods likein the entire Brilliant Kingdom.
We live in the temples located in various places. This is where people go to worship us and make wishes.
Young man, | bet you know that the Earth has been deteriorating. The spiritual energy is drying up and the laws are incomplete. It
is no longer a good place for cultivators.
Nowadays, collecting the power of faith through their worships has becthe primary mode of cultivation,"
the mountain god explained.
"What? You cultivate by collecting the power of faith?
That's amazing!"
Austin exclaimed in utter astonishment.
Cultivation through the power of faith was a rare and clandestine method. Warriors from other universes seldom cultivated through
this approach.
As far as Austin knew, only remarkable cultivators were able to do that.
The Taoist robe he had gotten in the Celestial Palace, the one he had left in Kevin's care, was the work of Peterson the Taoist
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAncestor by studying the power of faith.
It was considered one of the most fatal weapons in the Immortal End World.
Only the outstanding figures in the Immortal World like Peterson the Taoist Ancestor were able to study the power of faith.
Most cultivators weren't even aware that such a method even existed.
Austin learned that he and the mountain god were at the slevel—the premium stage of Earth Realm.
Even so, he surprisingly found that the mountain god had the ability to collect the power of faith and use it for his own cultivation!
"Is that so? There were plenty of different cultivation systems on the Earth during the ancient times.
Sindividuals cultivated through spiritual energy, and schose to do so by using the power of faith. There are a whole lot of
other avenues used on Earth! Swould even use their willpower, Earth Energy, and evil energy. There are instances that
individuals would even keep venomous insects for their cultivation, and swould also take advantage of corpses!
During that era, most people cultivated and the culture that surrounded it was prosperous.
Using the power of faith is just one of the cultivating methods,"
the mountain god clarified further.
"I didn't know that the Earth had such a rich history of cultivation in the ancient times!"
Austin commended.
'l can imagine that the creatures on Earth at that tmust be extremely powerful.
No wonder back then, Earth was known as one of the birthplaces of the divine gods, and was one of the most important places
among the three thousands big worlds and three thousand small worlds, ' he mused, rather pleased with this.
For quite a while, the mountain god chatted with Austin in his temple.
As he retold the stories during the ancient times, Austin listened with keen interest.
The mountain god had shared many secrets about Earth with him.
However, he couldn't answer the questions Austin desperately wanted to know.
For example, Austin wanted to know whether the Gods' Hometown existed and whether the divine gods lived there.
"Sir, you used to be very powerful, didn't you? What made you weaker compared to your strength before?"
Austin couldn't help but ask.
"Well, young man, | think you can answer this question yourself.
The laws are so incomplete and the spiritual energy on Earth is gradually degrading. | am not the only one suffering its
consequences. The strength of all the living creatures here are weakened and no masters can survive here.
If one gets way too strong, he could be obliterated by the laws.
Moreover, | had been trapped too long. It costmost of my powers to get out of there.
Don't think | know nothing about you. | can tell that your real vital energy realm is much higher than it is now.
Are you from other space?
| guess you are not from the Earth, am | right?"
The mountain god flashed Austin a sly smile that meant he had already seen through him.
There was no point in denying this, hence, Austin responded by laughing loudly.
"Now that you have seen through me, | will be honest with you.
Yes, | cfrom another space.
But, what if | tell you that | was born on the Earth and travelled to another world by accident? Will you believe me?"
Austin queried.
"You're born here on Earth? You went into the outside world, and you cback here?!
Are you telling the truth? "
The mountain god trembled in incredulity. He stared at Austin, as if looking for truth in his eyes. He found it hard to believe.
"Why are you looking atlike this, sir?" Austin asked, a little worried.
He felt his heart thump against his chest when he saw the surprise on the mountain god's face.
'Is it possible that the car accident | had before and my soul traveled to another world was not accident?
Is there something that | didn't know during that day?
Chad toldthat my dead body was not cremated after my death. Instead, they kept in the funeral hin the Smile City.
He went to that city more than once and demanded the relative workers to cremate my dead body so that he could bring my ashes
back home, and failed because smysterious people got involved, ' Austin pondered.
"l accidentally heard snews ten years ago.
There was a mysterious organization called the Divine Moon Sect and they were carrying out an experiment. Its members looked
for the suitable targets, extracted their souls and sent the souls to the outer space through ssecret methods.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe targets of these souls seemed to remember their former lives.
If these souls could successfully enter the outside world and manage to survive, they would do anything they could to cback.
The space where the Earth is located was full of traps and arrays left by the divine gods. The outsiders couldn't get in, and the
creatures on the Earth couldn't go out either.
Rumor has it that the Divine Moon Sect was organized by a group of people. They aimed to leave the Earth to explore the outside
world.
This organization had tried all kinds of methods to travel the outer space.
Is it possible that you were one of their targets?"
The mountain god was dumbfounded. He shot a look at Austin as if he was sform of a miracle.
"l can't believe it!"
As Austin listened to the mountain god's words, he was quite shaken.
'l died in a car crash and my soul traveled to the PrMartial World. Does it mean that it is all a trap?
So | was just an experimental rat chosen by that Divine Moon Sect?’ he wondered.
"It is said that in order to do this test, the Divine Moon Sect had selected at least hundreds of thousands of people from all over the
Earth.
All these selected individuals perished in all kinds of accidents,"
the mountain god continued.
When he heard this, Austin's eyes turned sharp.
