The two governing gods of the Blade Cosmos showed complete and utmost kindness to Austin.
Moreover, they sounded quite sincere.
It was obvious how much they wanted Austin to be on their side.
"Just like the old saying goes, the man who can recognize the facts of a situation is a paragon of men.
We will grow even stronger and become rulers of all the supreme universes in the future.
Therefore, we can guarantee a bright future for you if you choose to join us!
That should be enough for you to know which path to take."
The two governing gods smiled. They seemed awfully confident that Austin would agree.
"Oh? Is that so?
I didn't quite expect that you have such a grand ambition.
Your main goal is really to dominate all the supreme universes?
Well, then I'm sorry to disappoint you. I have always felt indifferent to fame and fortune. Aside from
that, I'm very lazy.
Conquering numerous supreme universes must be really tiresome. I'm not interested in it at all.
Therefore, I refuse."
A playfully arrogant smile appeared on Austin's face.
Hearing this, the two governing gods narrowed their eyes. The expressions on their faces changed
from genial to cold.
"Austin, are you really rejecting this opportunity to join us?"
one of the governing gods asked in a menacing tone.
"If so, then from now on, you will be treated as our enemy.
We will hunt you down wherever you go. There's no escaping us.
But if you agree to join us, you will have a great future ahead of you.
Think carefully before you make your choice, Austin. You only have this one chance,"
the other governing god warned Austin.
"I think I have made myself perfectly clear. I'm not interested in joining you at all. I refuse your offer.
It doesn't matter to me if we become enemies.
You see, I don't usually stir up trouble unless other people provoke me first.
If you dare to do so, don't blame me for responding crudely,"
Austin replied impassively, with his hands behind his back.
"How impudent!"
Obviously, the two governing gods became furious at Austin's indifferent attitude.
All of a sudden, severely oppressive blade radiance burst from their bodies. This caused massive
whirlwinds that could cut the surrounding void into pieces.
"Ah. Do you want to fight?"
Austin taunted them.
He had once fought a dozen governing gods of the Sword Cosmos all by himself.
Thus, facing two governing gods of the Blade Cosmos didn't scare him at all.
"Humph! How arrogant!"
There was a darkened look on both governing gods' faces. Their auras were grim and sinister.
In spite of that, they immediately remembered Austin's terrible fighting power.
If they were being honest, they might not be able to defeat Austin.
As a result, they just forced themselves to suppress their anger and decided not to make a move.
"Just wait and see, Austin.
We won't forget about what you said.
I hope you won't regret your decision,"
one of the governing gods warned coldly.
After that, they turned around and used the law of space to go deeper into the void. As they were
preparing to leave, Austin spoke.
"Ah. There's one more thing I'd like to say.
You'd better leave the Sword Cosmos at once.
Otherwise, when I'm ruling the Sword Cosmos, I will personally come after you.
When that time comes, you will meet your doom,"
Austin forewarned in a terrifyingly calm tone.
When they heard this, the two governing gods stopped in their tracks. Rage filled their heads.
"Humph! Such insolence!" one of them muttered.
However, they just huffed and disappeared into the depths of the void.
"You don't believe me, do you? Very well.
You will see soon enough."
Austin sneered, as he watched the two receding figures.
When they disappeared, Austin turned to leave.
He went back to the Purple Sword World.
Ten days later, Austin held a meeting.
"Master, everything is going smoothly in the headquarters of our sect.
We assigned ten elders to each of the ten branches.
What would be our next step?"
Winslow came to meet Austin together with more than thirty semi-governing gods.
Austin had tasked these semi-governing gods to deal with all the affairs of the Curry Sword Sect.
This was how he always operated.
He had absolutely no interest in managing a sect.
Fortunately, these semi-governing gods used to be senior members of some sects. Therefore, they had
rich experience in managing one.
In conclusion, everything was going really well in the Curry Sword Sect.
So far, the Purple Sword World had been completely transformed into the headquarters of the Curry
Sword Sect.
"According to the initial plan, the next step will be to set up several more strongholds within the Sword
Cosmos.
Furthermore, we need to recruit more talented disciples in order to expand the scale of our sect.
It doesn't matter to me what their origins are. What's important is their talent and determination,"
Austin declared.
"We understand, master! As you wish!"
all the semi-governing gods replied simultaneously before going their separate ways.
Only a day had passed and people were already busy making preparations.
The people from the Curry Sword Sect had already visited several places in the Sword Cosmos.
They were all looking for suitable places to build the strongholds.
Austin was undeniably rich and powerful.
In addition to that, he had all the five affiliated forces of the Long Sword Sect under his command.
Consequently, the property of these five forces belonged to him as well.
This meant that even though the Curry Sword Sect had only been established recently, it was already
extremely wealthy.
Soon enough, several strongholds had already been built.
All the forces and creatures within the entire Sword Cosmos were well-aware that the Curry Sword
Sect was founded by Austin.
Austin had succeeded in making a name for himself in the Sword Cosmos.
After all, he managed to fight against a dozen governing gods by himself.
Who would even dare provoke such a herculean person?
Naturally, all the forces and creatures were afraid of him.
As a result, the strongholds had been built without a single hitch.
There was no resistance at all.
Many of these forces and creatures ran away as soon as they heard that the Curry Sword Sect would
be coming.
During this period of time, the entire Sword Cosmos knew that the Curry Sword Sect was hell-bent on
expanding and setting up a large number of strongholds in several different areas.
To top it off, they had been consistently recruiting people into their sect.
Other than that, there was nothing else going on in the Sword Cosmos.
For quite some time, the cosmos remained calm and peaceful.
"I'm sure the four major forces can't stay silent any longer. I should be hearing from them any moment
now."
Austin chuckled after receiving the report.
His real target was the four major forces.
After all, they were the true rulers of the Sword Cosmos as of now.
Austin was aware that they would never allow him and his sect to grow any further.
Therefore, a war between him and the four major forces was bound to break out anytime soon.
"Maybe the four major forces are already planning to deal with me right now.
If so, then I'll be patiently waiting for them."
Austin seemed extremely confident.
