The Supreme God

"No way!

He actually destroyed one of the arrays!"

"The arrays which guard the ancestral temple are the most powerful ones in this entire cosmos.

He's broken through one of them. I don't believe it!"

"Dammit! We must report this immediately to the leaders!"

The governing gods, who had been ordered by the sixteen gods of chaos to guard Austin, were shocked at the sight of him breaking an array. They began shouting in panic. But one of them roared,

"Calm down!

There are hundreds of arrays still intact around us. This boy has only broken one. There's no need to make a fuss.

Before leaving, our leaders told us they were going to cultivate in seclusion. We shouldn't disturb them unless it's an emergency. Otherwise, it'll be our asses on the lines instead of his.

I think it's best that we don't make a hasty decision, wait, and see how many arrays he can break through.

Destroying one array is an achievement, I agree, but most likely a fluke of luck. Breaking through all of them is impossible,"

the governing god assured his companions. There was a momentary silence and then...

"He's right.

We were told not to disturb the gods of chaos unless it was something extremely important.

Let's wait a little while longer,"

another one of them agreed and the rest nodded as well.

They began to observe Austin's movements, waiting to see if he could break through any more arrays.

At this very moment, Austin was walking towards one of the arrays that lay farthest away from the temple.

'These arrays around the ancestral temple can be categorized into three levels, depending upon their distance from the temple.

Those that lie the closest are the strongest, and the farthest ones are the weakest.

I just broke through the weakest one of the lot. Let's see if I can do the same for a few others,"

he was thinking to himself.

He decided he was going to start with the weakest arrays at first and progress towards the stronger ones.

It was the most logical way.
