"Austin, it's really you!"
"When did you come back?"
Austin's father and elder brother exclaimed in surprise and delight.
"It's so good to see you again. We missed you!"
Austin's mother came to her senses, realizing that the man standing in front of them was indeed her younger son. She quickly approached him and held him in her arms.
The reunion of the family was expected to be a heart-warming one. His mother immediately told him to sit on a nearby grassy slope so that they could talk more comfortably, and so that he could answer all of their questions.
Austin had no choice but to answer all of them, including why he suddenly left Earth last time, where he had gone, what he had been doing all this time, and why he suddenly came back.
His family sat with him and listened intently to his every adventure in the unknown worlds and universes.
They were extremely shocked and couldn't help but gasp every time Austin told all kinds of miracles, dangers, and exciting moments that he had encountered.
As residents of Earth, the outside world to them was simply too wonderful and exhilarating.
"So, that means you are a divine god now?" The three of them couldn't believe what they just heard.
After hearing all of the things that Austin went through to become a divine god, they all looked at him with inquisitive eyes. They stared at him up down and were trying to see what had changed.
"Oh my! It really happened! My son is now a divine god!"
Austin's mother was so thrilled that she was laughing while crying. She even pinched parts of Austin's body several times to observe the difference.
"But Austin, they said that the bodies of divine gods glow brightly, and they also have those rings of light above their heads.
Why don't you have them?" his brother Chad asked seriously.
"Oh, that? Look at this,"
Austin said with a nonchalant smile.
After that, his body gradually emanated soft lights that enveloped his entire body. Even his hair glowed sacredly.
He looked exactly like a god descending from heaven to the mortal world, which was mostly depicted in legends and ancient stories.
"Whoa! It's true!
You have really become a divine god!"
Austin's family exclaimed in surprise.
"Ha-ha! That doesn't actually mean anything. You can't judge a warrior's strength through that.
You'll understand better once you improve your cultivation base in the future,"
Austin said as he burst into laughter. He couldn't help but tease them a little since they were acting like kids.
"Austin, I want to clear the matter about this evil baby hidden in the Karakoram Mountain. You're definitely sure that once it gets out of there, its power will be so devastating to destroy the world?"
When Austin talked about the evil baby, his parents and brother immediately wore serious expressions on their faces.
They couldn't really grasp how it could happen, so they were more curious than surprised.
At the back of their minds, Earth had always been a peaceful place. Sure, there were conflicts among governments of various countries, superpowers which often launched small-scale wars against some small countries, as well as some killings in the martial world. However, these were still incomparable to what was happening outside.
Then, all of a sudden, Earth had something to do with the destruction of the world.
It was a little inconceivable for Austin's family. They always thought that such things could only happen in movies and novels.
"So, you came back here on Earth to deal with the evil baby and save the world?
That's awesome and dangerous at the same time! It's like you're a superman who has been tasked to defeat the strongest monster to save everyone.
I'm so proud and scared for you!"
Austin's mother couldn't contain her feelings and blurted it all out.
"That's right! We don't know how exactly we should feel about it."
