In the chaotic void of the three thousand big and small universes, a few strange figures dressed in
mourning clothes were collecting the corpses of the divine gods scattered in the void. It was a slow but
careful process.
They gathered everything, picking up even the smallest pieces of smashed flesh and fragmented
bones. They were especially skilled, collecting such remains before they spread out to unreachable
places.
Austin watched the strange figures with a pair of cold eyes. If it hadn't been for the persuasion of
Peterson and Morphy, Austin would have already stepped forward, questioned them and taken actions.
He did not trust the strange figures even though they quietly did the gathering.
He waited in silence for a moment.
The chaotic void, which used to be full of broken limbs everywhere, had become empty now. The
cleaners had done their job well.
"Ha-ha! Young man, don't be so angry.
If you keep yourself in such a mad mood, it will be easy for you to incur unnecessary troubles."
One of the strange figures gave a sinister smile to Austin before he left.
"You pieces of shit from the Divine Corpse Palace! You better not provoke me, or I will kill you all!"
Austin threatened while narrowing his eyes at the strange figures who were retreating in the distance.
He couldn't put a finger on it but he always felt uncomfortable whenever they were around.
"Ha-ha..."
Several fits of gloomy and ice-cold laughter came from those fading figures as a reply to Austin.
"Forget it, Austin. We don't really need this now. We'd better not provoke the people from the Divine
Corpse Palace, don't you think so?"
Morphy said.
"But the Divine Corpse Palace is so arrogant. They're getting on my nerves. I want to teach them a
lesson and put them in their place. They must come to the three thousand big and small universes with
an evil purpose. I'm sure that they are plotting something.
Especially that hideous palace of theirs. They have erected it there for several years and they are much
too proud of it. Their behavior and attitude toward everyone is too annoying. And worse, those damn
bastards from the Divine Corpse Palace show no respect. They despise the three thousand big and
small universes so much,"
Austin said with a frown while pointing at the huge palace floating in the void at the edge of the three
thousand big and small universes.
The black palace stood imposingly in the chaotic void outside the edge of the three thousand big and
small universes, shrouded in a tremendous lethal aura. Blood of different colors flowed down endlessly
from the walls without any signs of stopping. It was obvious that they were never short of blood and
had an endless supply of it.
Various kinds of images of ferocious totems were carved on all sides, augmenting its gloom and
eeriness. One could only guess what was going on inside.
The palace of the Divine Corpse Palace had been floating over the same spot ever since it appeared,
not moving a single inch.
"That's how the Divine Corpse Palace behaves all the time. It shows up whenever a large number of
corpses of divine gods appear in the Sea of Chaos. They come unannounced, without any courtesy, as
if they were in their own backyards. They appear in public with obviously dark purposes,"
Peterson said with a wry smile.
At this time, all over the chaotic void, the gods of darkness and the creatures of the isolated alien
spaces and the underworld were nowhere to be found. They had all left without a trace. Only the gods
of light remained in this space.
"Austin, I think it is best that we go back to our base camp first,"
Peterson said.
"I agree.
I've just gotten a breakthrough and I need some time to consolidate my cultivation base,"
Austin nodded.
Without another word, all the gods of light returned to their headquarters.
"Dear sirs, it has been our honor to have met you!"
As if on cue, all of the divine gods stepped forward to pay their respects to Frost and the other two
premium-grade divine gods.
The return of the three premium-grade divine gods made all the gods of light feel relieved, and in effect,
they all looked much more confident.
It was known that the three thousand big and small universes were currently wallowing in a sea of
chaos, as the situation was getting worse and worse.
In fact, the gods of darkness and the people from the isolated alien space significantly outnumbered
the gods of light.
Moreover, there was a faint sign that the gods of darkness and the underworld would form an alliance
early in the future.
Because of this, the gods of light seemed weaker and lacking of energy.
If Austin hadn't come back in time, the gods of light might have been wiped out and the chaotic world
tree would have been found.
But now, there were three premium-grade divine gods who had returned to join the gods of light.
Everyone felt relieved and confident at the welcome development.
"Otis, you're finally back!"
"Ha-ha, Keysley, we haven't seen each other in a long time. We finally meet again after so many
years!"
Otis, Keysley and other medium-grade divine gods and preliminary-grade divine gods, who had just
returned, also received the warmest welcomes.
After all, all the gods of light had been on the same side of many of the divine battles that happened in
the ancient times. They had built up a deep bond and lasting friendship, treating each other as more
than brothers.
Having not seen each other for a long time, they laughed and talked with enthusiasm and genuine
happiness. The whole place was filled with nothing but laughter, merriment and cheers.
Bernie, Magee, Luban and other divine gods also received a warm welcome.
For the happy, momentous occasion, Peterson ordered a big banquet. All the divine gods drank and
chatted happily the whole day and into the night.
At the banquet, all the divine gods praised Austin for his abilities. They told many stories, not only of his
amazing fighting skills but of his golden heart that was full of kindness and compassion.
Even the three premium-grade divine gods, who recently returned, looked at Austin with appreciation in
their eyes.
At the same time, they all held Austin's hand and pulled him to sit beside them.
It could be seen that many of the gods of light thought highly of Austin and wanted to have a drink with
him.
The banquet lasted for a whole day.
After it was finished, Austin found a secret room and began to cultivate in seclusion.
He had just made a breakthrough and had won another big fight.
He needed time to consolidate his cultivation base, in addition to taking a meaningful rest.
In the secret chamber, Austin sat cross legged on the floor.
"Brat, if you come back half a day later, I will be done and over with,"
a small tree said as it slowly approached Austin.
It was the chaotic world tree.
"Luckily I came back in time,"
Austin said with a smile, looking at the tree with fondness.
"Well, next time, if such a thing happens again, I won't wait that long and will leave immediately. I want
to see where you can find me, if you can!"
the chaotic world tree said with dissatisfaction.
"But I didn't expect you to improve so much. I can't even begin to measure how much you have
developed!
And look at you! You have become a divine god now!
Well, I said you have potential in martial arts the first time we met. Sure enough, it turned out that I was
right,"
the chaotic world tree said with a nod. Its voice sounded irritated but it was in fact proud of Austin.
"But I can't remember when you said such words,"
Austin said, pursing his lips.
"How could you say something like that? Don't you believe me?
If I didn't think that you have a potential in martial arts, why would I come back here with you? As you
can see I am still here!
There are so many people who want to get a hold of me. Although they just wanted to use me for their
own selfish and wicked gains, surely they were powerful and that would benefit me a lot. I could have
chosen any one of them. Why did I choose you?"
the chaotic world tree said with an rough tinge of irritation in its face.
"Well, your judgment is right,"
Austin said to console the chaotic world tree.
"How is the situation in the Fallen Immortal Cosmos now?"
Austin asked.
"I'm glad you asked. It has been very good.
Now it is a middle-grade universe, and it is slowly evolving into a high-grade universe!
Of course, it would take some time for it to become a real high-grade universe.
But don't worry. I'm here to help it.
My roots have stretched out all over the universe community. They take root into the depths of the
chaotic void and absorb a large amount of chaotic energy. The Fallen Immortal Cosmos is nourished all
the time because of this.
I am sure that it won't take a long time for the Fallen Immortal Cosmos to evolve into a high-grade
universe. It's just a matter of time,"
the chaotic world tree said.
"That's great."
Austin was very happy to hear that.
In the past, the Fallen Immortal Cosmos held the reputation of being a rubbish universe. It was almost
ranked at the bottom of the list among the three thousand big and small universes.
But now, it had become stronger and stronger with each passing day with the goal of becoming a high-
grade universe!
"Oh, by the way, many Divine Realm cultivators in the Fallen Immortal Cosmos have already developed
and earned the potential to become divine gods. There will be many divine gods soon,"
the chaotic world tree added.
"Really? That's very good to know!"
Austin was both surprised and pleased.
He had always wanted as many divine gods to appear in the Fallen Immortal Cosmos as possible!
"It's not really a big deal. It is natural for a medium-grade cosmos to produce a small number of divine
gods.
Moreover, with my help, the quality of the Fallen Immortal Cosmos is already higher than any other
medium-grade universes. The vast improvement is remarkable!
So it's no longer surprising to see that many divine gods in the Fallen Immortal Cosmos,"
the chaotic world tree exclaimed while curling its lips.
"That's right!"
Austin nodded.
"Okay. For now, I'll go back to the Fallen Immortal Cosmos to have a check."
Austin decided to postpone his cultivate in seclusion for the time being. After his conversation with the
chaotic world tree, he wanted to go back to the Fallen Immortal Cosmos to have a look first.
