"Well, brat, I need to get to work.
Our conversation ends now.
I'm going to cultivate in seclusion,"
the chaotic world tree said.
"All right. See you next time."
Now that that was settled, Austin returned to the Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
"Austin, you're back!" Kevin gushed, running over to where Austin had landed.
The smile on Kevin's face could end wars. He was the first to sense Austin's arrival because he was
the master of the Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
"Master!"
An elder with white hair next to Kevin greeted Austin respectfully.
The elder was Cole, the first creature who had turned into an ordinary divine god after the Fallen
Immortal Cosmos had upgraded into a high-grade universe.
Austin recalled how once Cole had become a divine god, he immediately tried to challenge him.
Austin taught him a lesson and performed the Puppet Strings to turn Cole into his slave.
Since then, Cole had been in the Fallen Immortal Cosmos assisting Kevin with all affairs.
"Wait!
Master Kevin, you have become a preliminary-grade divine god!"
Austin exclaimed, staring at him in shock.
He had found that using his spiritual sense.
"Yes, I'm the master of the Fallen Immortal Cosmos. Now that our cosmos is a high-grade universe, it's
no surprise that I turned into a divine god,"
Kevin said with a smile.
"Yes, you are right."
Austin nodded.
'Master Kevin now is the master of the cosmos. With the quality of the cosmos increasing, his strength
accordingly enhances.
Since Fallen Immortal Cosmos is a high-grade universe, it's common to see divine gods in it.
It wouldn't make sense for him to be weak anymore, ' Austin thought.
"I didn't even spend much time on my cultivation. As the quality of the Fallen Immortal Cosmos
improved, I made several breakthroughs,"
Kevin added.
"That's a good thing,"
Austin said with a smile.
"Unfortunately, it looks like you are the only one that successfully became a divine god while I was
away," Austin said.
He released his spiritual sense to wrap around the cosmos and was disappointed at the result.
"We need to be patient.
Not long ago, the Fallen Immortal Cosmos was still a shitty cosmos. It didn't take it long to become a
high-grade universe.
Take other high-grade universes in the Sea of Chaos for example. It took a long time before the
creatures in them could turn into divine gods after they had upgraded to high-grade universes," Kevin
explained.
Austin trusted his opinions because he was an elder who knew everything about the Fallen Immortal
Cosmos.
"You have a point.
But it was my hope that things would move along faster."
Austin looked at the ground and shook his head.
'The overall strength of the creatures in the Fallen Immortal Cosmos is too weak, ' he thought to
himself.
"Oh yeah! Before I forget to tell you, Caroline, Ivy, and Sue are close to becoming divine gods.
The three of them are cultivating in seclusion, preparing to make breakthroughs,"
Kevin told Austin.
"Is that so?"
Austin was impressed. He immediately used his spiritual sense to check the secret room where his
wives usually cultivated.
"They are all cultivating in seclusion and they are close to becoming divine gods,"
Austin said in excitement.
'No wonder they didn't show up to welcome me when I came back!'
"Master!
You are back!" Violet cried out.
At lightning speed, she reached Austin with a beaming smile on her face.
She was now at the premium stage of Divine Realm, and was only one step away from becoming a
preliminary-grade divine god.
This was the crucial stage since one little mistake and most cultivators at this level would forever lose
the chance of becoming a divine god.
"Leader Austin, you're back!"
The word seemed to be spreading because many high-level figures from the Fallen Immortal Cosmos
had now shown up.
Before long, the space around Austin was crowded beyond belief.
Excitement covered their faces as they pressed in on him.
Most of them were at the Divine Realm.
"Where are the divine silkworm and the Eight Stone Saints?" Austin asked.
As he looked around, he noticed that some of his friends were not present.
"Master, they have already left the Fallen Immortal Cosmos. They are traveling through the three
thousand big and small universes,"
Violet answered.
"Well, it's a good thing," Austin said.
Although the Sea of Chaos was in a chaotic situation, it was relatively safe inside the three thousand
big and small universes.
"Evan, Herbert, and Bray have also left to explore the worlds.
So have your female friends, Stacy, Peacock Princess, Tessa, Belle, and Michelle.
Ever since our cosmos upgraded to a high-grade universe, almost all the creatures are keen on
cultivation and eager to improve their strengths,"
Violet added with a bright smile.
"She is right.
There has been a lot of exploration happening.
Plus, many creatures from other cosmos of the three thousand big and small universes have come
here to practice.
Our cosmos is open to the outside again.
I initially planned to wait for you to decide;
however, Master Parker and Master Alethea reached out to me. They said that it was better for the
development of our cosmos if it were open to the outside worlds. So I followed their advice,"
Kevin said.
"Good job!
Now, the three thousand big and small universes can unite,"
Austin said.
"By the way, Violet, I've got a treasure. I will lend it to you. It might help your cultivation,"
Austin said to Violet.
Swoosh!
The Hallucination Bead flew out and floated in front of Violet.
"What's this?"
Violet's eyes grew in size, afraid to blink in case it disappeared.
She was already talented with illusions and
the Hallucination Bead contained the brilliant law of illusion at the original chaotic level.
Therefore, she could gain a lot from it if things went well.
"Master, what is it?"
Violet asked as she trembled with excitement.
"It's called the Hallucination Bead. It's yours to use for the time being.
The bead carries a shocking amount of energy, so you need to be careful when you use it.
But don't worry. I will put the aura of my spiritual soul inside you. The Hallucination Bead recognizes the
aura of my spiritual soul, so it will not hurt you."
As he spoke, Austin attached the aura of his spiritual soul to Violet's body.
"Master, I'm going to cultivate in seclusion straight away!"
Without so much as a glance backwards, Violet grabbed the Hallucination Bead and dashed towards
her secret room immediately.
Since the aura of Austin's spiritual soul was inside Violet, the Hallucination Bead would go easy on her.
If it weren't for the aura of Austin's spiritual soul, Violet would have been crushed to ashes before she
could touch the Hallucination Bead.
"You can go back to attend to your own business.
You don't have to keep me company,"
Austin told the others.
Then he made his way towards the secret room where his wives were.
