"This is good, but you have to understand that as my disciple, and a genuine divine god at that, this is far from enough.
Even if you become a governing god, it still won't cut it."
The statue master's tone suddenly turned serious.
"Yes, master. I understand."
Although Austin did his best not to display his frustration, he couldn't deny that his heart skipped a beat.
After all, his statue master was a god of chaos.
That would only mean that his enemy was a god of chaos as well.
The extent of their strength and power was absolutely unimaginable to him, but he knew that even a governing god would merely be a small fry in front of them.
Therefore, he earnestly acknowledged that his strength was still far from enough.
There wasn't time for him to get a buzz out of this simple breakthrough.
Right then, he gladly recognized that he still had a long way to go.
"You still need to work harder.
There's still a lot you have to learn," the statue master said slowly.
"I will, master," Austin replied with a nod.
He clenched his fists in determination.
"I'm sure that the Sea of Chaos is even more chaotic now.
This chaos is actually a good opportunity for you. Take advantage of it.
Remember, heroes emerge in troubled times.
It won't be long before there are changes in the power structure of the Sea of Chaos.
It would be best if you can establish a force and train your own people.
That way, you can fight for hegemony and have a place in the Sea of Chaos. Do you understand?"
The statue master tried to paint him a picture to encourage him.
"Fight for hegemony? In the Sea of Chaos?
Master, with all due respect, my strength was merely equal to a semi-governing god, at most.
If I chance upon a governing god, I'm quite certain I wouldn't be able to deal with him.
Plus, the other super forces are all guarded by governing gods.
With my current strength, I can make trouble everywhere, but that's it.
I'm not strong enough to go out there and fight for the dominion of the Sea of Chaos,"
Austin countered with a bitter smile, unaware that he was scratching his head.
"I'll send out the twelve zodiac animals to help you.
Each of them is a semi-governing god. If they form an array, they would be as powerful as a governing god.
On top of that, the real power of the Grand Geomancy Array in the three thousand big and small universes you are in is far from being unleashed.
If you ask Santos to come to the Fallen Divine Valley, I will teach him how to repair that array.
When the Grand Geomancy Array gets repaired, it would be able to resist the attacks of the governing gods.
Now, I've given you these trump cards.
Make sure you use them wisely.
The rest is up to you," the statue master counseled Austin to try and lift his spirits.
"Whoa! That's awesome!
Thank you, master! I feel confident now that I have your support.
I will form an army and fight in the Sea of Chaos once again!
The six super forces don't scare me anymore!"
Austin felt motivated after his statue master boosted his morale.
He went over the things that his master told him to make sure that he didn't forget anything.
'Hmm, let's see. The Grand Geomancy Array of the three thousand big and small universes could resist the attacks of governing gods when it gets repaired.
We're going to have a stronger defense, and we could even attack with the help of the twelve zodiac animals!
In this way, we'd surely be invincible. What else is there to be afraid of?'
Austin was thrilled that he had all the help he needed to take over the Sea of Chaos.
"Hey, super forces! I'm coming for you.
Ha! Just wait and see!" Austin sneered.
"Good, good.
Now, go ahead," the statue master commented with a smile.
He could tell that Austin was eager to give it all a try.
"Okay, master. I'll get right on it!"
