Aurek walked out of the temple and arrived at Moonshine Hall.

Josephine sat alone under the sacred tree, a faint look of worry between her brows. Upon seeing Aurek's figure, she immediately rose and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Aurek nodded in acknowledgment.

Josephine was deeply shaken; Aurek's presence felt as vast and unfathomable as the starry sky!

"Is it about Beyoncé?" Aurek suddenly asked.

Josephine was taken aback. "Your Majesty knows already?"

Aurek nodded.

When meditating, he had not isolated himself from the outside world. He needed to cultivate the attribute legions daily, and everything in the Divine Sanctuary was within his perception.

His gaze swept over the Crystal Holy Tree nearby, which had bite marks on it. The corner of his mouth twitched imperceptibly.

He hadn't expected Beyoncé to eat so much.

Now, he truly understood what Kaos had meant when he said he couldn't afford to feed her!

Over the past year, the resources consumed by this little one had almost made Aurek feel sorry. Even for him, it was quite a shock.

This was indeed his own oversight.

Aurek felt a bit helpless inside, though he didn't show it on his face.

After a while, Belinda entered, holding Beyoncé's hand.

"Brother!"

As soon as Beyoncé saw Aurek, she immediately ran over, happily leaning against him, not at all afraid of the aura of authority around him.

Both Belinda and Josephine were surprised.

Usually, in the Divine Sanctuary, Beyoncé only followed Belinda around, even sleeping together. She was always eating and playing, running around every floor of the temple, and even sneaking to the Eura continent once.

Aurek looked at Beyoncé, somewhat surprised.

The little one had eaten so many precious resources, so much that it almost interfered with his ascension to Divine Oracle, yet her rank didn't seem to have improved much. Her aura was still around Divine Radiant level three or four.

This made him wonder—was Beyoncé really just an ordinary child from Mount Wumeng?

Aurek handed her a few magic pills.

"You're so nice to Beyoncé, Brother!"

Beyoncé immediately sat down next to Aurek, grabbed the pills, and began eating while laughing.

The scene was warm, even though she was eating things far from ordinary.

Beyoncé, who had only met Aurek twice, was completely at ease with him and seemed very dependent on him.

This left Josephine and Belinda even more surprised.

They didn't know that when Beyoncé was with Kaos, she often went hungry and couldn't go out to play freely.

But in the Divine Sanctuary, she not only got enough to eat but could play every day, almost forgetting about her stingy grandfather!

Aurek asked Beyoncé a few simple questions about her background, but she didn't know much, only that she had always lived on Mount Wumeng.

Thus, her origins remained a mystery.

Aurek didn't press further.

It was fine for Beyoncé to stay in the Divine Sanctuary. A powerhouse like Kaos could be of good use too.

It didn't matter how much Beyoncé ate; let her grandfather work to repay the debt!

A strong individual with a rank close to Sage Lord doing labor—it was quite a bargain.

Thinking this way, Aurek felt much more at ease.

Josephine detected a hint of emotion in Aurek's tone and secretly found it amusing.

The emperor, who had dominated and crushed the continent, was actually feeling helpless in front of a gluttonous little girl. This was truly a rare sight.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the Abyssal Demon Realm has changed," Josephine reminded.

"The Council of the Dark Order has intensified its attacks on the Empire. They've sent more Divine Radiants in the past few days, and Stillness sage has also been injured. Our legions have already retreated to the former borders of the Dawonru Empire."

Aurek stood up, pondering for a moment.

Through the system template, he had already seen the casualty figures of the attribute legions and understood the brutal nature of the demon realm war.

"It's time to deal with the demon realm," he said, turning to Josephine. "You're in charge of everything in the Divine Sanctuary. I'll lead the charge myself and crush the Abyssal Demon Realm."

After a year of accumulation, the attribute legions' numbers had approached 17 billion.

Except for the Life Sorcerer, all of them were above the God General rank, stationed from the sixth to the eleventh levels of the temple.

This enormous army of God Generals and True Gods was prepared specifically for his personal campaign!

Abyssal Demon Realm.

The Star Reversal Magic Circle had been completed.

The Council of the Dark Order no longer held back and, over the past few days, had sent over a dozen Divine Radiants to reinforce the Legion of Dark Enforcers.

James was also preparing to use the Order Knights and Divine Oracle to deal with the Crossbridge Empire.

After more than a year of fighting, James had deduced from the battle reports that either the Crossbridge Empire had very few Sacred Radiance rank experts or they were being distracted by other matters.

Therefore, he had reduced the deployment of regular legions and gradually increased the number of Divine Radiants, testing the Empire's limits in preparation for the next steps.

The Star Reversal Magic Circle favored the Council.

Since the elder of the Court of Prophecy had predicted that the Crossbridge Empire would destroy the Council, the Council had no more reservations.

Not even the Judicatory Sanctum, the Gargoyle Clan, or the Ossuary Court were in his calculations anymore.

Despite being protected by countless artifacts, the ancient Divine Radiant Stillness sage had been heavily injured.

Now, the Empire's side only had Starbound Savant and White Lady remaining as Divine Radiants.

Ares had ascended to near-Divine Radiant rank after a year of fighting.

With the power of the War God Prelude and Immortal Divine Body, he could kill a Divine Radiant by exceeding his rank, so he was considered a Divine Radiant-level force.

Suggwoth had ascended to Sage King rank, having killed four sage kings with his own hands.

Even so, Suggwoth had still withdrawn his army from the White Sea Territory.

This was because the Dark Corruption Temple's demons were wreaking havoc in the rear, threatening the military supply base in the Secondary Demon Realm. He had to shorten his front lines to defend the rear.

Additionally, the Ossuary Court had launched small-scale raids against the Empire's legions from the northwest of the Dawonru Empire, testing the Empire's bottom line and combat strength.

This had also disrupted the Empire's plans to consolidate their defenses.

Ancient Y City Forbidden Area

Deep within the underground palace, the Sacred Coffin suddenly shook.

The middle-aged man lying inside opened his eyes, and silver Divine Radiance erupted from them.

The coffin shrank and fused with his body.

The man's body rapidly grew younger, returning to a youthful state.

The Holy Body was achieved!

The youth soared into the air, appearing instantly in the temple.

Upon seeing him, Aurek bowed respectfully. "Mentor!"

The youth was none other than the former Lord of Ancient Y City, one of the earliest pioneers to arrive in the demon realm from the Eura continent.

Griffith!

Years ago, when Aurek had seized the Chaotic Artifact from the Four-Winged Demon Legion and was hunted down, he fled to the Holy Kare Mountains and entered the influence of Ancient Y City.

Griffith had discovered that Aurek came from Eura and arranged for him to enter Ancient Y City, using resources to cultivate him.

With Aurek's tremendous talent, he had eventually reached the God King rank and, with the help of Reagan and Raymond, took over Ancient Y City.

Reagan and Raymond were also his students.

Along with a few others, they had entered the Judicatory Sanctum, while Griffith had also sent some people to maintain balance between the Judicatory Sanctum and Ancient Y City.

"The commotion is considerable," Griffith sensed the outside world. "Aurek, is this your descendant?"

Aurek nodded. "It's confirmed."

"The changes on the Eura continent are truly astonishing. Such an outstanding individual has emerged, forcing the Council of the Dark Order to respond with all their strength."

Although Griffith had been in a dormant state, he was still aware of what was happening outside.

He had once been so shocked that he almost failed his ascension!
