While Cole was facing the Apotheosizing Doom, the Fallen Immortal Cosmos was undergoing an
upgrade.
The quality of the entire cosmos was being improved.
Every creature in the cosmos burst out with joy when they found out that their talents and potential for
cultivation would finally be enhanced.
While they were all busy figuring out what they were going to do next, Austin thought for a while and
prepared himself for a short speech. He took a breath and cleared his throat before he spoke. "Hello,
everyone."
He used an omnipotent skill to cast his image in the air so everyone in the cosmos would be able to
see.
"Hey, look! It's Leader Austin!"
Hundreds of millions of creatures in the Fallen Immortal Cosmos cheered at the sight of Austin's
projection.
It was clear that Austin's fame had already spread all over the cosmos.
Even those in the mortal worlds knew that Austin was a supreme existence who defended the cosmos.
Countless mortals had also built plenty of temples to worship him.
Needless to say, everyone in the Immortal End World knew his name. They regarded him as such a
great hero that he had become a legend.
Everyone gazed at his image. Some fervent fans called out his name, while some even shed tears.
At the sight of this, Austin chuckled and looked so coy.
He took another breath and spoke sonorously. "Guys, please settle down.
I know you're all excited, so I will make this quick."
As soon as everyone heard his voice, the whole cosmos fell into silence. All the living beings stared
keenly at Austin's image.
"Today is a big day for our Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
As you all know, we've been in the process of upgrading the quality of our cosmos.
Now that we're almost done, our cosmos will soon become a high-grade universe.
Soon, all of your talents and potential will be greatly improved.
Lots of you will become skilled cultivators, and some may even become strong masters.
Everyone can be a cultivator.
Yes, even the mortals could become cultivators because a high-grade universe is a good place to start
your cultivation.
Today truly is a big day for all of us.
My hope is that you can all cherish this opportunity to cultivate hard and improve your strength."
Austin ended his speech with a charming smile.
Every single creature in the universe heard him clearly.
When he finished talking, the crowd cheered and applauded. "Long live Leader Austin! Long live
Leader Austin!"
"Rest assured, Leader Austin. We swear that we will cultivate harder to become stronger!"
Excited voices roared everywhere in the universe that it shook the entire space.
At this point, the upgrade was so close to completion.
Golden light started to fill every inch of the universe.
The spiritual energy was so dense that it had formed white fog, and high-level laws of supreme
enlightenment spread in the sky.
In just a moment, the whole universe looked advanced and superior.
Austin was admiring this view when the chaotic world tree suddenly appeared out of nowhere and
stood right beside him.
"Hey, brat. It's done.
The Fallen Immortal Cosmos is now a high-grade universe," the chaotic world tree said as it proudly
surveyed the cosmos.
"This is the first-ever high-grade universe I created. Ha! What a beautiful universe!" the chaotic world
tree remarked.
It seemed to be very satisfied with its own work.
"Hmm?" When Austin turned to look at the tree, he furrowed his brows.
"Wait. Why do I feel like there's something different about you?
The aura you're releasing is much more mysterious and powerful than before," Austin said abruptly as
he closely examined the tree.
"Why, thank you for noticing!
I have benefited from creating this high-grade universe.
My strength has been handsomely enhanced.
This is actually a way for me to cultivate, ya know?" the chaotic world tree responded.
"I see.
That's great." Austin nodded as he smiled at the tree.
"Austin!"
All of a sudden, three enchanting women came into view.
Caroline, Ivy, and Sue were rushing towards Austin.
"Austin, I feel like I'm about to make a breakthrough," Caroline said with delight.
Her sweet smile made Austin feel warm.
"So do we!" Ivy and Sue exclaimed in chorus.
They all looked excited.
Looking at them, Austin noticed that something was different about them. He felt that they had grown
more sophisticated.
With the aid of his spiritual sense, he found that they were at the premium stage of Divine Realm.
The moment they made breakthroughs, they would become divine gods.
"Well, you're all really talented. Just a little more cultivation and you'll be as strong as me.
No wonder you can make progress in such a short time," Austin commented.
"Hey, don't look down on us. We'll surely become stronger than you one day.
You'll see!" Sue snapped back and pouted. She realized that Austin was teasing them.
"Austin, once we become divine gods, we can finally help you.
That way, you won't have to take care of everything on your own,"
Caroline chimed in as she looked at him affectionately.
She sounded like a wife who couldn't bear seeing her husband suffer.
Austin had always taken the responsibility of guarding the Fallen Immortal Cosmos all by himself.
For that reason, Caroline longed to share that burden with him one day.
"Ha-ha! I finally made it! I'm a divine god now!"
Out of the blue, a boisterous voice boomed from the distance.
They saw Cole heading towards them.
It turned out that he had gotten through the Apotheosizing Doom and had become a preliminary-grade
divine god.
Cole had lived a long time and had been cultivating his whole life. All in all, he was incredibly strong.
The reason why he hadn't become a divine god was due to the quality of the cosmos.
If truth be told, the Fallen Immortal Cosmos then was shitty. Later, it had gone through upgrades from a
low-grade to a middle-grade cosmos. Even then, he had been making progress each time the cosmos
was upgraded. Now that it had become a high-grade universe, he had made rapid headway.
After all that, he had finally become a divine god.
"Congratulations!"
Austin turned to him with a smile.
"Ha-ha! You don't have to be so formal, Leader Austin.
Don't worry. I'm a native of the Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
If anything happens here, I will come back and help solve the problem," Cole blurted and laughed out
loud.
He was acting like a great master.
Hearing this, Austin furrowed his brows.
'Hmm.
Even though he appears to be quite enthusiastic, he sounds a little cocky.
Does he think he's superior to everyone around here?' Austin reckoned.
"Oh. Is that so? What are you planning?"
Austin asked with a sneer.
"Well... I have spent my whole life here in this cosmos.
Now that I've finally become a divine god, it's time for me to travel around the Sea of Chaos to broaden
my horizon and grow stronger.
The Fallen Immortal Cosmos is too small for me now," Cole asserted and held his head up high.
He could tell that Austin wasn't pleased with him.
Even so, he didn't care.
He thought that since he was at the same level as Austin, there was no need to be afraid of him.
Nonetheless, he tried to be polite so he could avoid provoking Austin.
