Inside the space behind the Space Gate, a large horde of people was waiting anxiously.
They had heard the news that Austin and the others were about to come back.
"Master Kevin, when is he arriving?" Sue asked Kevin with an impatient face.
Both Sue and Ivy had actually asked Kevin about this more than once. They just couldn't sit still until they saw Austin with their own eyes.
"He's coming soon. Violet, the Heavenly Majestic Pot, and the others were with him to help finish off the enemies. They should be arriving soon, trust me."
Kevin answered to appease them.
Caroline was also very worried but she did not say anything. She forced herself to be patient until Austin arrived.
A few moments later, the Space Gate opened.
"Hi everyone. I'm back."
A familiar voice and figure emerged from the gate.
It was Austin, standing in front of everyone.
"Austin!" his three wives said in chorus.
As they couldn't contain their emotions anymore, the three rushed and hugged Austin at the same time.
"It's good to have you back!"
Kevin said with a sincere smile.
The Eight Stone Saints had also made their way to greet Austin.
"We were totally looking forward to your arrival. At last, you finally showed up. The entire Fallen Immortal Cosmos looks up to you and regards you as the leader, but you're always away. I think you're enjoying to be a hands-off type of leader,"
Asa said jokingly as he gave Austin a gentle punch on the shoulder.
The Eight Stone Saints were known to be hot-tempered and rash. They never really cared about formalities. Even though Austin was already in a high position, they still treated him the same as before. In their eyes, Austin was still their friend whom they could tell anything with all honesty.
Knowing Asa's nature, Austin just smiled and understood what he really meant.
The other high-level figures of the Fallen Immortal Cosmos also gathered and surrounded Austin.
"Leader Austin! We're glad you're safe." They all greeted him with utmost respect.
"Leader Austin, thank goodness you're back. With you on our side, we feel like there's nothing that we can't do."
"Our homeland, the Fallen Immortal Cosmos was destroyed, and we were forced to evacuate the area. Even after we fled, strong enemies still came after us.
We believe that you're the only one that can help us through all this and bring us back to our home one day."
Some powerful figures from the Fallen Immortal Cosmos told their concerns without reservations.
Austin looked around and was a bit overwhelmed by the attention that he received.
He could see the excitement in their eyes and the passion to re-establish everything that they had lost.
After the Fallen Immortal Cosmos was destroyed, they had no choice but to leave their homeland and hide in the abandoned cosmos.
However, many strong cultivators who held grudges against Austin were still after them.
Now, even the abandoned cosmos was demolished by the heartless divine gods.
Fortunately, much to their relief, Austin had come back together with his strong new and old comrades.
"Don't worry everyone. I promise you that one day, we'll go back to the Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
We will rebuild our homeland very soon.
Also, I will make sure that the Fallen Immortal Cosmos will be one of the most powerful cosmoses in the entire three thousand big and small universes,"
Austin declared confidently as he glanced around.
"All right then. We're putting all our trust in you!"
"We can't wait to come back and rebuild our homeland!"
The cultivators around Austin shouted in high spirits. Their determined voices resounded and shook the sky.
Austin's return greatly boosted the morale of the creatures of the Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
They all believed in him as he was a legend in the Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
His history was like an unbelievable fantasy. He had become one of the most powerful beings in the universe from being a grunt disciple of a rather weak and ordinary sect.
Moreover, he had fought off invaders again and again to save the Fallen Immortal Cosmos several times.
"Austin, the abandoned cosmos was also destroyed. What will be our next plan?"
Kevin didn't want to spoil the celebration of the people, so he asked Austin through his spiritual sense.
"I'm actually planning of staying here for a while.
We need to take care of some things first before we can go back to the Fallen Immortal Cosmos," Austin replied.
He had actually been thinking about what to do for some time now.
Currently, Peterson, Morphy, Andreas, Lukyan, and Pascal had regained their former strength. Moreover, three core members of the Flying Phoenix Sect were also divine gods.
It meant that Austin presently had eight divine gods on his side.
Among them, Morphy and Peterson were medium-grade divine gods. The other six were preliminary-grade ones.
Austin, though was still at the Divine Realm, was just slightly weaker than a preliminary-grade divine god. In actual battle, he could actually take them on.
