The Supreme God

"You have made great progress in terms of the mind power in the past two hundred years, Austin.

But just so you know: you have actually comprehended only half of what I've imparted to you.

Even so, I must admit that you have a good foundation.

From here on out, you no longer need my guidance in your cultivation,"

Nasir informed Austin.

"As the successor of the reincarnation race, you are shouldering the heavy task of rebuilding the road of reincarnation and reviving the race.

On top of that, you have to face your enemies in the darkness race. Your journey is destined to be full of difficulties and dangers.

But as you know, I have more than three hundred puppets under my command, each one as powerful as a god of chaos. I insist you take one hundred of them.

That way, you won't have to fight alone."

Austin was floored at this generous offer.

"Sir, that is too much! I can't accept that! It'd be better if they remain here!"

Austin sputtered, completely taken aback.

Giving a hundred puppets to him was equivalent to sending him off with a hundred gods of chaos. It would be a formidable army. Austin felt he had done nothing to deserve such a gift.

"Please, I insist. Remember you are also to help me collect my avatars and spiritual soul marks. Think of this as me sending you some of my workers for the purpose,"

Nasir told Austin firmly.

Austin gave it some thought. After a moment's pause, he nodded and smiled sheepishly.

"You make a fine point. In that case, I shall take your puppets with me. Thank you very much, sir!"

Austin felt nothing but gratitude for this kind old man.

At that, Nasir nodded, and then turned to the middle-aged man.

"Bring one hundred of the puppets here," he ordered.

"As you wish, master!"

the middle-aged man answered promptly.

He turned sharply and left.

He returned moments later with one hundred puppets following him.

Nasir turned to Austin. "I shall erase the marks I left on the bodies of these puppets. Follow my instructions and leave your marks in their bodies stead. Once this is done, they will be under your control.
