On the inside of the eye of the Sword Cosmos, time passed slowly.
Austin was still in the secret room that he had built,
devoting all his time to studying the secret skill related to reincarnation that the elder had taught him.
After viewing the runes all around him, he saw that billions of worlds had been destroyed and reborn.
After he spent a long time examining the runes, Austin's understanding of reincarnation grew.
The entire secret room was filled with numerous reincarnation runes that floated in the air. Each one gave off its own mysterious aura.
"What is reincarnation?"
Austin murmured to himself while he performed the skill.
Since he had entered the secret room, he had progressed further in the law of reincarnation.
Before, Austin only understood the basics of the law of reincarnation and now
he understood it deeply.
"I see! Reincarnation is related to destruction and rebirth!" Austin shouted as realization struck him.
His voice was so loud that it shook the entire secret room. Dust fell from the ceiling and the runes trembled.
Then,
all the illusory scenes in the room disappeared.
When everything settled, all he could see was a broken, old stone bridge a couple of feet in front of him.
Judging by its appearance, the bridge had existed for a long, long time.
There were two words carved on its surface.
The characters were foreign, having belonged to an era that existed long ago.
Therefore, not many creatures of this age could read them.
But thanks to his powerful spiritual sense, Austin understood the meaning of the words.
His eyes swept over the words "Memory Bridge".
"Hold on. Who's there?" Austin muttered.
Squinting his eyes, he could barely make out a figure at the end of the bridge. It was stooped over and enveloped by a mist made from law power.
Austin couldn't see the figure's face clearly, but he could tell by th
No one knows what will happen next. And so it is now. The rumors are true,"
she continued with a gentle smile.
The wrinkles in her face deepened. It was hard for Austin to comprehend her shaking, aged voice.
"What is she saying?"
Austin asked out loud, straining his ears.
"Young man, I wasn't expecting your arrival.
Currently, we are in different spaces and time periods. The odds of us ever meeting are extremely low.
Therefore, you must understand my surprise.
You are here in front of me. Perhaps we are destined to meet,"
the old woman said as she fixed her eyes on Austin's face.
"Madam, are... are you talking to me?"
Austin asked gingerly.
'Right now, she is in another space and time period!'
he thought, feeling excitement rush through his veins once more.
"Yes. I am speaking to you.
I see that you've found the Reincarnation Token.
To some extent, that means you can be considered as a member of the reincarnation race.
This makes me happy. Our race has a successor!"
the old woman exclaimed, smiling even wider.
"Madam, what is the reincarnation race?"
Austin asked, letting his curiosity get the best of him.
Even though he had heard about the reincarnation race before, he was desperate to learn more.
