The Supreme God

"What? Enter the ancestral coffin?!"

The other governing gods of the Xi'men Clan were shocked at hearing the suggestion. It seemed like a drastic measure.

In fact, the ancestral coffin was such a revered and powerful artifact that only the senior members of the Xi'men Clan knew about its existence.

"That's right.

Look, who are we kidding? Everyone here knows that we are no match for Austin, at least for the time being. If we continue fighting like this, we'll only lose more battles and more people.

I have a feeling that it would be better for us to retreat for now.

We must stay alive for now. As for our revenge, we'll always have a chance to do that once we become strong enough, but only if we survive today.

The Xi'men Clan is not strong enough to defeat Austin yet.

We must unite with the other forces, and might even need the Blade Cosmos on our side,"

the leader said in a thoughtful voice.

A few moments earlier, he had been so furious that he wanted to kill Austin at first glance.

However, he'd calmed down now, which was giving him a clearer perspective of their situation.

He was well aware of the situation they were trapped in.

Austin's display of strength had been terrifying.

The entire Xi'men Clan was no match for him at all.

If they continued to fight, they would only bring death and disgrace upon their clan.

The leader's first priority at the moment was to prevent the Xi'men Clan from total destruction at the hands of Austin.

"I agree with you, leader.

Facing Austin is a frightening prospect. We don't stand a chance of winning him, at least not at the moment.

There is no point fighting him if it means giving all our lives needlessly.

We should preserve the strength and members of our clan first. That should always be the priority!"

A reclusive elder nodded in agreement.

"If that is the case, I am in too."

Several other senior members agreed as well.

Then, the leader gave a telepathic order.

"Gather the main members of the clan. Get ready to enter the ancestral coffin!"

Then he added in a warning tone, "Move together!

We can't afford a chance for Austin to attack any of us in seclusion!"

It was true. Someone moving all by himself would be a prime target. They needed to stay together right now.

As soon as the order was given, the eight governing gods of the Xi'men Clan formed a battle formation to protect each other as they proceeded towards their destination. Together, they retreated slowly.
