The main leaders of the gods of darkness were two ferocious beasts—the thoroughly-odd beast and
the fire-disaster beast. They had enormous sizes as they were like humongous mountains.
The two evil beasts were famous for their ferocity and cruelty in ancient times, and no one dared to
deliberately make an enemy of them.
As they faced the gods of light, the fire-disaster beast let out a burst of deafening laughter. "Ha-ha! This
is all that you can assemble? Well, I shall slaughter all of you today!" it declared in a mighty voice.
Its massive body was constantly blazing with flames, which scorched the space around it.
"Ha! Don't be too conceited you ugly beast.
I'll make you eat your own words!" Peterson snapped in contempt.
Among the creatures from the isolated alien spaces, there also stood a huge strange beast. "Ha-ha! I
smell flesh and blood. I should be grateful for this feast that you prepared for me!
I wonder how all of you would taste. I hope you won't let me down," the strange beast said as it licked
its lips.
It was staring intently at Peterson and his companions while drooling so much like a gluttonous beast.
It looked like a toad with a bright red skin, where blood kept oozing out. Its mouth was so large that it
was more than ten times larger than its entire body. It appeared so peculiar and dangerous at the same
time.
Judging by the overwhelming energy that it was releasing, it could be easily determined as a medium-
grade divine god.
"This is disgusting! The gods of darkness even colluded with these monsters from the isolated alien
spaces just to make trouble in the three thousand big and small universes.
My blood is boiling that I want to crush them all!" Morphy said through gritted teeth.
Both sides kept on exchanging intimidating stares, waiting for the one who would attack first.
The people from the underworld and the Divine Corpse Palace were also watching the scene from the
distance. They were also ready to take action if they found the perfect opportunity.
At the same time, the area where the chaotic world tree was hiding had already been surrounded by
the gods of darkness and the creatures of the isolated alien spaces.
Although the chaotic world tree remained invisible, the gods of darkness who were skillful in spatial
power had already figured out its general location, so they were closely keeping watch to its
movements.
They had detected its traces, thus if it moved recklessly, it would surely be found.
In this case, even if it wanted to escape, it couldn't just do it easily.
"This is annoying! Even if I managed to get away, I would surely sustain serious injuries while doing so.
I don't have many choices, do I? The Invincible Escape Skill could be my only viable option.
But if I use that, I don't know how long it would take me to recover my strength.
Well, it's much better than being dead!" the chaotic world tree muttered to itself in frustration as it
continued to hide in the dark.
With that, the chaotic world tree deemed to Kevin and said, "Kevin, I've already given this a lot of
thought, and I've decided to leave the three thousand big and small universes.
I will also take the entire Fallen Immortal Cosmos with me, so get ready." The chaotic world tree
informed Kevin through its spiritual sense.
Kevin was one of the few people who had known of the chaotic world tree's existence in the three
thousand big and small universes.
"What are you saying?
We can't just leave the three thousand big and small universes," Kevin quickly replied.
He was startled as he received the message of the chaotic world tree.
"Austin is away right now. If we left this place, how will he find us when he returned?" Kevin explained.
"I don't think that should be your top concern as of this moment!
Even if we escape right now, I cannot guarantee that everyone will be safe. But if we stayed here, then
we'll be walking towards our own destruction!
You understand that once something happens to me, the Fallen Immortal Cosmos might be destroyed,
right?
The most important thing right now is to get through this.
It's better for that brat to have a hard time looking for us, than easily find us with our lifeless bodies,"
the chaotic world tree tried to put some sense in Kevin's head.
"I know. It's just that…"
Kevin wasn't able to utter another word.
Before Austin left, he specifically asked Kevin to oversee the Fallen Immortal Cosmos, and strictly
follow the orders from the chaotic world tree.
The chaotic world tree had the Fallen Immortal Cosmos under its control as it merged with it.
It somehow meant that the tree's will was also the will of the cosmos.
Therefore, as much as he wanted to argue, he could not disobey the chaotic world tree. He understood
that the tree's decision was the best for everyone, and he shouldn't be swayed by his emotions.
Immediately after, Kevin spread the news.
He only informed some core high-level figures in the Fallen Immortal Cosmos to avoid unnecessary
panic.
Kevin also relayed the messages to Austin's wives.
He thought that they had the right to know about the decision of the chaotic world tree. "Master Kevin,
what do you mean?
Why would the chaotic world tree plan to take the Fallen Immortal Cosmos and flee to the Sea of
Chaos right now?"
"What about Austin? He hasn't come back yet!
If we leave now, how is he going to find us?" Austin's wives said anxiously.
Naturally, they were also against it because they weren't fully aware of the situation of the chaotic world
tree.
"Don't worry. Maybe the chaotic world tree will leave some clues so that Austin can easily track us
down," Violet said, trying to comfort the girls.
"It will be nice if that is the case. But I don't think that will be possible.
According to the chaotic world tree, several gods of darkness are currently guarding the area, trying to
locate us.
Their powers couldn't be underestimated.
If we are to leave any clues, they will surely get to us first before Austin does," Kevin explained as he
let out a sigh.
Kevin knew that the chaotic world tree wouldn't propose to leave the three thousand big and small
universes if they weren't in a critical situation.
So, he had to somehow convince them to agree with the plan.
"Damn it! Can't we do anything?
Why don't we go out and fight those bastards?!" Asa bellowed as he waved his thick mace.
Among the Eight Stone Saints, he was the most hot-tempered and reckless.
"You need to calm down!
Did you forget that those are divine gods?
We don't stand a chance against them.
Don't do anything stupid that will put your lives at risk.
No matter what, the most important thing is to survive through this.
Trust in Austin. He has already done miraculous things.
He will surely find a way to us," Kevin convinced them.
Meanwhile, an airship was fast approaching the three thousand big and small universes.
"Ha-ha! We're almost there."
"Finally, we're coming home."
"It's been such a long time. I can't wait."
Some gods of light cheered inside the airship.
"The legendary three thousand big and small universes, huh? I'm excited about it," Bernie said with
high expectations.
He and the other divine gods from the other universe communities in the Sea of Chaos were also
looking forward to seeing the three thousand big and small universes with their own eyes.
After all, this place was very famous, powerful, and prosperous during ancient times.
Most of the divine gods who were born in ancient times must have heard of the exceptional reputation
of the three thousand big and small universes.
After being stuck in the Fallen Divine Valley for so long, these divine gods were yearning for an
adventure at such an esteemed area.
Inside one of the secret chambers in the airship, Austin was still sitting in mediation. He was silently
ruminating over his vital energy realm.
'Forcing me to stop going through the Apotheosizing Doom caused me several internal injuries. These
held me back in reaching a higher vital energy realm.
Fortunately, after taking the Divine Blood Grass, those injuries are now almost completely healed, ' he
pondered.
"It's a good thing that Frey didn't lie to me. The Divine Blood Grass is indeed potent. After consuming it,
I instantly got better.
If it weren't for that herb, who knows how long I should still wait before making a breakthrough?
Right now, I have a strong feeling that it won't take long before I officially become a divine god," Austin
said with a grin on his face.
Austin was currently focused on breaking through to a divine god.
There were so many responsibilities that he still needed to take on. And in order to cope up with all of
them, he needed to acquire greater strength and become a divine god.
"Hmm? It seems that the airship is already close to the three thousand big and small universes.
I wonder how things are going.
I hope everyone's okay.
I can't wait to see them," Austin murmured to himself.
