From the airship, they could all see that they were getting closer to the three thousand big and small universes.
Their faces lit up with excitement as the premium-grade divine gods—Frost, Brain, and Oswald—got up to check the view.
"Ha-ha! I didn't think I'd get the chance to come back after such a long time.
I wonder how everything is right now in the three thousand big and small universes,"
Frost spoke in a peaceful tone.
He gazed at the three thousand big and small universes in the distance. He seemed to be feeling nostalgic.
"Me, too. Although I've been away for such a long time, it seems like I just left yesterday."
Brain fixed his eyes at the view while he replied to Frost with a smile.
"Wow, Brain. I didn't expect you to be so sentimental!"
Oswald teased Brain and tapped him on his shoulder.
Even Otis, Keysley, and all the other medium-grade divine gods aboard got up and stared at the distant three thousand big and small universes. Although they were thrilled that they were getting closer by the minute, they couldn't help but feel nervous about what was waiting for them there.
While everyone took their time to appreciate the view in front of them, Frost broke the silence.
"By the way, the three thousand big and small universes are in chaos right now. Since more and more members from our side and members from the god of darkness side return, the battle between us and them will only rage on.
We're going to have to surprise the enemy to gain some upper hand.
I think it's best that we keep a low profile and sneak back in there so they definitely won't have any idea what's coming for them."
The other divine gods were taken by surprise when they heard what Frost said.
Everyone fell silent for a few seconds, and then Brain and Oswald nodded in agreement.
"You have a good point, Frost.
If we swagger back in public, it will alert the enemy and they would be able to plan an attack against us.
We'd better come back without being noticed. That way, we can catch them off guard and ambush them," Brain elaborated as he rubbed his chin.
"You're right. We have to prepare for this," Otis followed.
He and the others all nodded in agreement.
While they talked about strategies, a figure suddenly appeared in the hall and stood in front of the crowd.
"Austin! Ha-ha! You're finally done with your cultivation!" Otis exclaimed.
He warmly welcomed Austin since he had not seen him in a while.
Seeing Austin come out, Luban delightedly walked up to him and greeted him enthusiastically.
He patted him on his back and said, "You've finally finished your training, Austin!"
Even the three premium-divine gods, Frost, Brain, and Oswald smiled at the sight of him. Everyone seemed to be thrilled that Austin had wrapped up his cultivation. Austin nodded his head with a polite smile as a way of saying hello.
When everyone finished exchanging greetings, both Tyrone and Ingram called out to Austin as they flashed him a warm smile.
"Hey, Austin! It's nice to see you out here. The three of us have successfully fulfilled our task, huh?"
Hearing this, Austin chuckled.
"You're right.
It's been years since we left. Now, here we are," Austin replied as laid his eyes at the direction of the three thousand big and small universes.
He was overwhelmed with different emotions.
While Austin and the others chatted for a bit, Frost, Brain, and Oswald furrowed their brows when they had sensed something out of the blue.
Being premium-grade divine gods, the three of them had incredibly strong spiritual sense. Although they were still far away from the three thousand big and small universes, they were able to perceive what was happening there.
"Hmm. It seems that something's going on.
There's a lot of people surrounding and lurking in the three thousand big and small universes. It looks like they're searching for something," Frost uttered as he perceived the distant universe.
There was a hint of wariness in his voice.
"I know some of them.
They're with the gods of darkness.
Most of them aren't even big shots, but I met them on the battlefield in the past," Brain murmured.
"Wait. I heard someone whispering. He told some people to be careful when dealing with the tree. He even put an emphasis on not letting the tree escape,"
Oswald reported as he gazed into the distant universe community with puckered brows.
When everyone else onboard heard what they had just perceived, they were stumped. They recognized the severity of what was happening since the three premium-grade divine gods used their omnipotent skills to sense the three thousand big and small universes. They knew that something was wrong.
However, Austin was shocked and perturbed more than anyone else on the airship.
'Did I hear it right? Those people said that they couldn't let that tree get away. Were they referring to the chaotic world tree?
Could it be that it had been exposed? Did they find out where it's hiding? And it's now being chased by the gods of darkness?'
In just a few seconds, endless thoughts filled Austin's mind.
