There were too many holy knights around. They were sure to be outnumbered.
Austin wouldn't take the risk and let the others be separated from him for too long. He needed to protect them from any possible
and unknown danger.
"Divine temple!"
Austin was surprised at what he saw.
They were now at a green mountain located inside the ancient city.
An ancient temple was seated on the top of the mountain. It was not big, but it was very old as evident from its crumbling facade.
When Austin got there, the divine temple was glowing and emitting a strong aura of immortal energy.
The entire temple was also shaking violently. Boulders of ancient stone and rock were falling of its edges.
Angels were flying around it with their white feathered wings, each one carrying an exquisite flower basket, and throwing flowers in
the air.
Above the temple, an illusory symbol stood erect, extending to the sky and emitting a terrifyingly majestic beam of light.
When Austin and his team were near the temple, they barely missed the creature in human form who had fought with Austin
earlier. It was about to rush into the temple.
After thinking for a second, Austin followed him into the temple.
The temple was very modest in size, about thirty square meters. Many humble temples around the world were much bigger than
that.
In the middle of the altar stood a tall statue almost reaching the ceiling.
To Austin's surprise, the statue looked exactly like the creature in human form who had just fought with him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had the face and features of a common western man, with a sharp nose and long blond hair. There were two sharp horns
protruding from his forehead, and his body was covered with golden scales, looking mercilessly fierce and awe inspiring!
Austin's jaw dropped as he realized that his opponent earlier was the one who was worshiped in this divine temple.
"Oh, here you are!"
Austin then understood the true identity of the creature.
He must be a remnant soul of an ancient western divine god.
Austin had seen quite a number remnant souls similar to this one before.
In fact, there were numerous spiritual soul avatars left by ancient divine gods in the two opposite worlds under Karakoram
Mountain.
These avatars were nothing but remnant souls left behind by divine gods, with a certain amount of their real strength.
"Humph! You're really brave to followhere! It is very rare to see such kind of courage,"
the statue suddenly began to talk, directing his words at Austin.
"Well, that courage you speak of is all for nothing. You're but a remnant soul, useless and weak. What can you do except create a
spectacular show your arrogance? If the actual divine god was here himself, | may be a little more alert on my toes. But then again,
it's just you here. It's not even a challenge!"
Austin sneered.
"If my real body were here, | could have instantly killed you with a blow and you wouldn't get past your first sentence, you
blabbermouth brat,"
the statue sneered back.
"What did you mean when you said that something happened in the Gods' Hometown?"
Austin ignored that statue and changed the topic.
"Young man, why are you asking? Have you heard of the Gods' Hometown? What do you know about it?"
The statue was a little surprised.
"Of course | know something about it. It is said that it is the residence of the divine gods,"
Austin replied briskly with one eyebrow raised.
"The residence of the divine gods? Ha-ha-ha! This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! | didn't know you were funny!"
The statue suddenly burst into laughter.
‘Hmm... He seems to know something about the Gods' Hometown!"
Austin quickly caught on.
"Well, but on second thought, what you said is actually reasonable, in a way."
The statue laughed for a moment and then just as abruptly, stopped as if something struck his mind.
At that moment, a strange loud sound pierced Austin's ears.
Boom!
The statue on the altar suddenly exploded.
The statue was made of stone, but now it was shattered into pieces.
A tremendous space power flew out of the broken statue like a rolling river. It was an incredible sight to see.
Mysterious runes flew out into the air one after another, and occupied every corner of the small temple.
Austin watched the sudden change without blinking his eyes. He did not want to miss anything that was about to happen before
him. Sure enough, a portal suddenly emerged above the altar. It was illusory at first, like a holographic projection, and then
becreal little by little.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ha-ha, | didn't expect that after a long time, the door to the Gods' Hometown would finally open automatically! Heck, | was even
about to give up and just conclude that it would never happen!"
The creature in human form, who had fought with Austin just now, reappeared from out of nowhere with an ecstatic expression on
his face.
He was a remnant soul that could go wherever he wanted to be. The stone statue was only something he rest upon.
So it wasn't really weird that he didn't go with the statue as it exploded.
"This is not over. Mark my words that | will cback for you and get even with you as soon as | get the chance."
The remnant soul glared at Austin, pointing a finger at him. He then rushed through the door and disappeared.
"Wait... It can't be! Oh my god, this is too easy! Is this the door to the Gods' Hometown?"
Austin was completely frozen. He fixed his eyes at the door, unable to think clearly. He was beside himself with excitement.
It was hard for him to take it all at the stime. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
