The five sword spirits knew that Austin would, without a doubt, head back to the Sea of Chaos.
They had learned of his past from Sword Son Curry and understood the person he was well.
"Truthfully, with your current strength, you can go in and out of the Sword Cosmos as you please,"
revealed the old man in yellow.
"I was thinking just that,"
Austin replied, nodding.
He had been able to pierce through the space barrier of the Sword Cosmos even back when he was still quite weak.
He had grown much stronger since, so naturally it would be a lot easier for him to do so now.
"Sirs, I have something to ask you.
Why did the door of the Sword Cosmos close on its own?
Did something happen to cause it to do so?"
Austin asked curiously.
"As far as I know, it is not just the door of the Sword Cosmos that closed automatically.
Most of the entrances to the supreme universe closed, all at almost the same time.
For what reason, we still do not know.
But I'd say it's fair to assume it's related to the secret of those real masters at the realm above a governing god.
Perhaps some major event is on the horizon."
The old man sighed through his words, a look of worry drawn on his face. His words were ominous to say the least.
"The gods of chaos!"
Austin said in shock.
Those who reached the realm higher than the realm of the governing god were known as the gods of chaos.
"Stop. Don't say anything about the gods of chaos.
They know of everything. We'd better not, as much as possible, discuss such matters. If we provoke them, the consequences will be beyond anything we can imagine.
We are nothing but a grain of dust to the gods of chaos.
We should take care not to utter anything that may provoke them,"
the old man in yellow said, shaking his head to indicate to Austin to stop speaking.
"Okay, I understand,"
Austin said, nodding again.
In fact, he knew a thing or two about the gods of chaos.
This was because one of his masters, his statue master in the Fallen Divine Valley,
was a god of chaos!
However, Austin had not yet seen his real face.
The statue in the square in the depths of the Fallen Divine Valley, was just a means by which to keep the secrets hidden.
Austin guessed there was probably a small world inside the statue.
And his master who was a god of chaos was most likely hiding there.
"Austin, if you want to go back to the Sea of Chaos, you should just go.
The five of us will not meddle in the affairs of the Sword Cosmos,
but if something unexpected does happen, we will find a way to inform you,"
said the old man in yellow.
"Thank you. That's good to hear. I'll be leaving now, sirs,"
Austin announced, shuffling to go.
He left the Divine Sword Mountain and returned to the Ethereal World.
He then gathered the senior members of the Curry Sword Sect and held a meeting to make some necessary arrangements before his departure.
It was concerned mainly with the distribution of power. Each senior member was assigned a position and its corresponding power and jurisdiction.
Austin knew that once he left, there'd be no leader in his stead and the senior members would probably fight for the power to rule.
Even the divine god slaves under his command were the same. This was simply the most basic nature of all living beings.
After the decisions were made and responsibilities were doled out, Austin strutted around the Sword Cosmos casually, his hands behind his back.
He deliberately released his own energy pressure as he walked, making sure every creature took notice.
He did this to make it clear to them all that he was in charge of the Sword Cosmos, always. And he also wanted to intimidate those strong cultivators who might be plotting to betray him.
Most importantly, he did for the four major forces!
Although they had hidden themselves and had been keeping a low profile and operating discreetly,
they were still powerful.
