Cole knew that Austin, with his intimidating strength and current status, did not need to lie to him.
Since he said so, it must be true!
Originally, Cole felt he had finally become a divine god. He could be superior to so many, do anything
he wanted, and become one in the strongest group of masters in the three thousand big and small
universes, or even within the Sea of Chaos.
But now, he finally understood.
All of his expectations were proven wrong.
He was just a preliminary-grade divine god.
Among all the divine gods, he was only among the weakest.
If he hadn't been so arrogant to Austin, he would definitely gain high status in the Fallen Immortal
Cosmos in the future and become one of the top figures in a high-grade universe.
Just how many preliminary-grade divine gods could get all these achievements?
However, it was too late to regret it.
"Leader Austin, it's all my fault. I was so reckless.
Please spare my life!"
Cole pleaded in a cold sweat as he interlaced his hands, trembling as he crawled in the starry sky.
"You have only two choices. The first is to get killed by me. The second is to open your Soul Sea to me.
I will imprint a mark on your spiritual soul, and from now on, you will do whatever I ask you to,"
Austin replied with a firm voice.
He stared coldly at Cole with his hands placed behind his back, waiting for his answer.
"Leader Austin, I am willing to open you my Soul Sea and follow you from now on!"
Cole calculated in his mind for a moment and knew he had no way to escape. He gritted his teeth and
helplessly agreed to the second condition.
After giving in to Austin, Cole finally surrendered his Soul Sea.
Under the control of Austin's mind, many red silk threads started blasting through Cole's Soul Sea.
It was the secret skill called Puppet Strings!
The threads of red strings moved in swirling motions and twisted throughout Cole's spiritual soul.
In just a moment, Cole's eyes began to change from a constrained glare to a gaze of surrender.
He now showed an obedient and respectful expression.
This kind of obedience and respect came from the depth of his soul. Austin had truly become his
master.
"From now on, you will cooperate with Master Kevin to maintain the order of the Fallen Immortal
Cosmos.
You will help more creatures become gods and increase the overall strength of our Fallen Immortal
Cosmos."
"Yes, master,"
Cole said submissively as he stared into Austin's eyes.
'After I became a divine god, my spiritual sense has improved greatly. With the Puppet Strings Skill, I
can actually make a preliminary-grade divine god a slave of mine, '
Austin thought to himself as he was very satisfied with the result.
In fact, he just wanted to try and see if he could turn Cole into a slave or not.
He didn't expect it to really work.
"Master!"
This time, Violet called as she came running towards Austin's side.
The gnome, the divine silkworm, and Austin's friends had all arrived, too.
"Violet, gnome, and little divine silkworm, you are all masters of the Divine Realm now!
Very good."
Austin clapped his hands in delight.
Most of these old friends who had ventured with him were already at the Divine Realm.
If only they had done it in the past, they would be among the most powerful existence in the three
thousand big and small universes.
"Are you just laughing at us on purpose? You are a divine god who is looking down at us from above,"
the gnome said, pouting.
"Master, your family misses you so much.
Why don't you go back to see them?"
Violet suddenly suggested while scratching her chin.
"Well... Fine.
Let's go back together."
Austin nodded with a smile.
Since Violet mentioned it, Austin wanted to go back to visit his parents and brother.
With a flick of Austin's sleeve, all the creatures in the starry sky disappeared. He used a spatial
omnipotent skill to travel and reach the sky above the Flame Holy Land in the Immortal End World.
Soon, the Flame Holy Land was bombarded with a bunch of visitors.
Austin invited Caroline, Ivy, Sue, and Violet and took them to the mountain where his parents cultivated
to visit them.
Austin was indeed surprised to find out that his mother had already reached the Emperor Realm!
This progress was too overwhelming.
It had only been a short while, but she had achieved so much.
"Mom, it seems that your talent for martial arts is far more excellent than mine!"
Austin said smiling bitterly as he crossed his arms.
"Of course, you are my son.
Maybe your talent is inherited from me.
Even if my talent is better than yours, what's so strange about that?"
Austin's mother asked as she smiled back teasingly.
"Ahem... What about me, then? Austin is also my son. How can I not be as talented as you two?"
Clement sounded dissatisfied overhearing their words.
"You've got no one to blame but yourself!"
Austin's mother glared at Clement jokingly.
With the continuous improvement of her cultivation base, Austin's mother looked younger and younger.
She already resembled a teenage girl by her looks.
Her every move and smile radiated both dignity and gorgeousness.
The higher a cultivator's cultivation base was, the longer their life span became.
Since she was now at the Emperor Realm with a life span of thousands of years, dozens of years of
her real age were still simply young considering her entire life span.
Clement and Chad were also getting younger themselves.
These three of Austin's family members enjoyed the highest and most special treatment in the Flame
Holy Land.
Elder Kevin selected a dozen of the most experienced elders in the Fallen Immortal Cosmos to guide
the cultivation of Austin's family.
Moreover, all kinds of the most precious cultivation resources in the Fallen Immortal Cosmos were
constantly sent to the Flame Holy Land for their convenient use.
"Tin!"
Several figures started to rush towards Austin from afar while shouting his name.
They were Evan, Herbert, and Bray, the three best friends of Austin.
The three of them were all at the Heaven Immortal Realm.
"You three, hurry up and cultivate. So you can break through to the Divine Realm and then become
divine gods.
In a high-grade universe, the Heaven Immortal Realm is too weak and common,"
Austin commanded the three.
"Tin, you are right!
My goal is to become a divine god.
By the way, Tin, do you have some useful treasures from heaven and earth, such as those magic pills
at the divine level? Maybe they can help me achieve this goal sooner?"
Herbert asked cheekily as he approached Austin with great enthusiasm.
"I knew you would welcome me this way,"
Austin teased with a chuckle.
"Take these. It's for everyone."
With a wave of Austin's hand, a dozen Space Rings came flying right out and landed in front of
everyone.
Everyone present had a share.
Each Space Ring contained many precious magic herbs.
Austin got all those precious treasures from the sky-devouring dog.
It was a known fact that there were countless treasures hidden in the Fallen Divine Valley.
Since ancient times, countless gods had broken into the Fallen Divine Valley. They either became
trapped or even got killed there.
The treasures brought in by these gods had naturally fallen into the hands of the sky-devouring dog.
"Thank you, Tin!
Tin, you are always the best!"
After he checked the treasures inside his Space Ring, Herbert's eyes lit up with excitement. He almost
jumped up and carried Austin in his arms.
"Get off me! Don't be so cheesy!"
Austin hurriedly dodged from his embrace.
"By the way, where are Tessa, Stacy, the Peacock Princess, Isis, and Michelle? Why haven't I seen
them since I came back?"
Austin asked curiously.
"Tessa has returned to the Prime Martial World.
I heard from her that some of her best years were spent in the Prime Martial World. She wants to go
back and live there.
Michelle went back to the Divine Continent and has become the head of the Meng Clan now.
Stacy, the Peacock Princess, and Isis have already left the Immortal End World to journey to other
worlds.
They haven't come back during all these years,"
Evan narrated as he recalled them one by one.
"I see.
I hope they are all doing alright."
Austin kept silent for a while and then nodded.
These women were all his female confidants whom he met many years ago. Of course, he
remembered what happened in the past clearly.
In particular, he knew that these female confidants all had special feelings for him.
However, there had always been a wall between them.
