"The strength of gods of chaos is beyond our imagination,"
the middle-aged man sighed.
"Sir, do you mean to say that I'll be unable to enter the Sword Cosmos even if I become a governing
god?
Then I don't know when, if ever, I can help you seek revenge."
Austin shook his head in disappointment.
The prospect of never being powerful enough was bad. Austin was also dispirited at the idea that he
would be unable to keep his promise. He had never broken one in the past.
Back in the Prime Martial World, he had promised the Flame Emperor that he would accompany the
latter to the Divine Continent and help him find some spiritual herbs. The Flame Emperor needed those
to rebuild his body.
Despite all the hardships that had fallen their way, Austin had kept his promise and finally helped the
Flame Emperor rebuild his body.
Austin was a man of his word and this was a point of pride for him.
"Don't worry.
You are remarkably strong already, and considering your current strength, I do have a way to help you
enter the Sword Cosmos,"
the middle-aged man assured him with a smile.
"Wow! Do you really
have a way to help me enter the Sword Cosmos?"
The information was pleasantly surprising.
"Of course.
You know, I once ruled the Sword Cosmos. I know that place like the back of my hand.
I also know that your current strength is about the same as an ordinary governing god of the Sea of
Chaos. I am very sure that you'll be able to enter the Sword Cosmos,"
the middle-aged man replied.
"That's great!"
Austin said excitedly.
Every single creature in the Sea of Chaos dreamed of being able to enter a supreme universe.
In fact, for most people, settling down and cultivating in a supreme universe was the farthest they ever
hoped to reach.
"Hmm. To enter that place, you have to utilize some special space nodes.
To my knowledge, there are at least a dozen space nodes in the Sword Cosmos which are the weak
links we're looking for.
I wouldn't have been able to pinpoint these space nodes. But Lady Luck arrived in the form of the doors
of the Sword Cosmos.
With the doors visible, I can locate the weak space nodes.
I will append a wisp of my aura, as well as the auras of my master and four senior fellow apprentices,
to yours. Once that is done, you will be able to enter the Sword Cosmos through those weak space
nodes."
The middle-aged man seemed confident in his plan.
Clearly, this method was feasible in his opinion.
And since he was the former ruler of the Sword Cosmos, it was natural that he was familiar with its
weak spots.
"Before anything is done, I need some time to locate the weak space nodes.
Then I will explain the method to you in detail,"
the middle-aged man promised.
"Thank you, sir."
Austin was very grateful.
He had always dreamt of entering a supreme universe and seeing what it looked like.
"You're welcome. In fact, I have a little task of my own that I wish you could perform while you are
inside.
I hope it's not too much trouble for you to bring me the soul memorial tablets of my master and four
senior fellow apprentices from the Sword Cosmos,"
the middle-aged man said.
"Yes, sir. I will try my best to keep my promise,"
Austin replied.
"Meet me again in three days' time.
I am sure I can locate the weak space nodes in that interval,"
the middle-aged man said.
"Okay,"
Austin replied.
Then he left the small world.
He returned to the headquarters of the Flame Holy Land. He wanted to spend some time with Caroline.
She was pregnant now, and Austin was concerned about the baby.
"I wonder if it's a girl or a boy."
Austin gently caressed Caroline's belly.
"I hope it's a sweet girl.
If it's a naughty boy, then I am certain he will only run around all day long and refuse to settle down.
Just like you."
Caroline giggled.
"I don't mind whether it's a girl or a boy."
Austin smiled. Then he suddenly said in a serious tone,
"Caroline, I'm sorry that you have to spend these days alone and
I don't have much time to accompany you.
I hope you understand."
"Don't say that," she replied. "I know you have no choice.
Besides, you're the hero of the Fallen Immortal Cosmos. Every woman wants her husband to be a
hero.
I'm so lucky that you are my husband and my hero."
She leaned against Austin.
"Thank you, Caroline.
I'm so lucky to have you as well."
Austin was very touched when he heard this and he put an arm around her.
The duo felt very happy.
"Hey, don't just stay with me.
You can't neglect your other wives just because I am pregnant.
You should spend some time with them as well."
Caroline suddenly poked him slightly.
"Yes.
You are so considerate."
Austin looked into her beautiful eyes with deep love and kissed her forehead.
"Just go."
she smiled.
For three days in a row, Austin stayed in the headquarters of the Flame Holy Land, accompanying his
family, and enjoying a rare stretch of peace in his hectic life.
Those three days were the happiest he had ever been.
It made him wish that he could put down everything and just live a happy and peaceful life with his
family forever.
'Ordinary people are so happy.
Although I am a divine god, I am not as happy as common mortals in many ways!'
Austin sighed inwardly. He was extremely powerful as a divine god, but was missing out on the simple
pleasures of life.
Three days passed quickly, and Austin had to depart alone, once again leaving his family behind.
He started on his journey and very soon, arrived quietly at the Ice Palace and entered the Ice Sword
World.
"Sir,"
he greeted the middle-aged man in the small world.
The latter was sitting down cross legged and his eyes were closed.
"I've figured out where exactly those weak space nodes are located.
Now let me tell you their locations and the process of your entry into the Sword Cosmos."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and a beam of light rushed into Austin's Soul Sea.
"You should give it a try. I am sure that you stand a fair chance of success,"
the middle-aged man told him.
"Okay.
I see."
Austin nodded.
"There is one more thing I have to tell you about the Sword Cosmos,"
the middle-aged man continued in a serious tone.
"Now, there is no denying the fact that you are
as strong as an ordinary governing god. But that is true only in the Sea of Chaos.
Once you enter the Sword Cosmos, it's best that you keep a low profile.
This is because the governing gods there are much stronger than you.
They vastly outnumber you as well. There are about thirty governing gods in the Sword Cosmos who
belong to different forces.
They are the most powerful masters and not to be taken lightly.
Make sure you do not attract their attention after you have entered the Sword Cosmos.
There are people from other supreme universes in the Sword Cosmos as well. Avoid any unnecessary
encounters with them as well,"
the middle-aged man warned him.
"What?
There are thirty governing gods in the Sword Cosmos?!"
Austin gasped.
There was an abundance of universes in the Sea of Chaos, but even combined from all those
universes, the number of governing gods did not total thirty.
The Sword Cosmos was a single supreme universe, but it alone had thirty governing gods! This was an
astonishing piece of information.
