"I plan to build some forces in this vicinity.
You'll have someone to depend on if ever you decide to stay here.
You can stay here in the Big Dipper Cluster if you feel like it.
There is a divine temple on Megrez. No invaders will dare to infiltrate as long as it exists."
Austin grazed his eyes upon his companions. He thought it best to give them this kind of option if they found this place better for them.
The jade seal underneath the divine temple was a magic treasure left by the divine gods in ancient times. It was powerful enough to drive out all the enemies.
Austin knew that even Divine Realm cultivators wouldn't be able to overcome the jade seal.
Hence, should any of his companions decide to stay in the Big Dipper Cluster, Austin's heart would be at ease.
His friends were also aware of what they would be risking once they join him on his journey. Since the consequences were too severe for any of them, they had decided to let Austin go alone.
"Let's go to the Crape Myrtle Cluster. I can't wait to see what it looks like!"
With a wave of his hand, he gestured for the rest of them that they were about to leave.
The elder clad in a long purple robe received Austin's message, and he responded. He led the way, with a large troop trailing closely behind him. They marched for the Crape Myrtle Cluster, causing a commotion in the starry sky.
The two immortal elders of the Big Dipper Cluster had already made up their mind to befriend and follow Austin. So, even without Austin's invitation, they had decided to join this massive troop with their people from the Big Dipper Cluster.
After half a day, they finally arrived at the Crape Myrtle Cluster.
This particular area was considerably more colossal compared to the Big Dipper Cluster.
Numerous stars in the sky twinkled, among which were roughly a dozen of inhabited planets.
At the very core of the cluster was its biggest planet called the Crape Myrtle.
It was extremely large, veiled by thick spiritual energy between its sky and ground. It was full of vitality.
Everyone landed on Crape Myrtle, ending their long journey in the space.
To Austin's surprise, there was also a place called the Gods' Hometown on Crape Myrtle.
It was an ancient temple with a long history.
The old man in purple robe was a senior emissary of the Crape Myrtle Cluster.
He was tantamount to the two senior emissaries of the Big Dipper Cluster in terms of status.
"Another God's Hometown? Is this how people in this universe call their temples?"
Austin observed the temple and everything around it. He curled his lip in one side.
"I guess there are plenty of temples like this called 'Gods' Hometown' in this universe."
Violet closely followed Austin, also taking a gander of the temple.
"Brat, I don't think things here are as straightforward as we think they are,"
the Heavenly Majestic Pot, unlike its companions, showed a suspicious expression. It seemed to have a different opinion.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Austin was taken aback at the pot's take on this situation. Curious, he turned to look at him.
"You call this temple the Gods' Hometown. That's your custom to call temples since ancient times or your contemporary way to address them?"
Instead of
ruly prepared for his journey.
He took a deep breath and stated to everybody, "All right. I think it is time for me to leave."
He skimmed his gaze towards his companions and smiled at them, grateful for their presence and help throughout.
Austin made some arrangements and bid a short farewell to his friends. Finally, after a long while of getting ready for this venture, Austin set out, heading for the solar system.
The Heavenly Majestic Pot, Violet and all the other close friends of Austin's stayed on Crape Myrtle Cluster. They found a quiet place for themselves near the divine temple and began their cultivation there.
To keep them busy, Austin left them plenty of resources for their cultivation. It was more than enough to bring their martial arts to a higher level.
In the great and extensive universe, The Space Ship fleeted alone.
The universe became more and more bleak and desolate as Austin headed closer to his destination.
"I can't believe it! I'm on my way back to my home planet, Earth!"
Austin could practically feel his heart beat out of his chest out of pure excitement.
"I wonder if my friends and families are okay. Wait for me! I cannot wait to see you all!"
Austin couldn't contain his elation. He was practically grinning from ear to ear, but he also felt a little bit worried. It had been quite a long time, and there was this sense of uncertainty and doubt clawing its way up to his heart. He could not help but pray that everyone on Earth was safe and sound.
It had been decades since he left Earth. Certainly, he was worried for the welfare of his families and friends.
If he aged according to the time on Earth, he would be roughly around sixty to seventy years old!
In that span of time, it was naturally that some people on Earth would have ended their mortal journey in the world. Some people might have died and turned to ashes.
This was the exact thing he was most worried about!
"I hope the course of time on Earth is different from that of the Fallen Immortal Cosmos where I have spent most of my years before this."
Austin closed his eyes and prayed again and again in his heart, wishing for the best result.
