The avatar displayed a grave expression, ceased to advance, found a hidden place to set up an array, and then communicated with the main body.

Soon he understood the specific situation, showing surprise, and murmured to himself, "I didn't expect the main body to fall into the Demon Realm. This is not the main body at all but a newly refined avatar, although its strength is stronger than this avatar, no wonder it was mistaken for the main body."

The avatar was thoughtful, reflecting on the latest information received, frowning slightly.

The demons there are too powerful; the situation here is not promising.

"Fortunately, the Black Lotus Avatar is amidst the enemy's demon army and can get their movements at any time. There is still some distance from home, so there is no need to worry too much in the short term."

The Wood Avatar thought, then drew a rough map on the ground, estimating the distance from here to the Kunyu Mountain Range.

"Arrange an avatar to stay in between to maintain communication. Although contact with the main body is still impossible, we can only continue to remain idle."

Having made a decision, the Wood Avatar immediately distanced itself from the demon army, arrived at the Desolate Mountain Range, and hid in the dense forest, serving as a communication bridge.

For him, the priority now is to acquire the demon army's movements at any time, avoid direct confrontations, enhance the avatar's strength in a relatively stable environment, earn system rewards, and hold out until the main body returns.

Using the Wood Avatar as a transit point, the Earth Avatar, after obtaining external information at home, continued to reinforce the array to avoid going outside.

Meanwhile, the Black Lotus Avatar within the demon army was behaving obediently as a minor soldier, striving not to attract attention.

Before long, the demons gradually arrived in a few squads, and after amassing enough strength, they launched a war.

The Alliance Army, predominantly composed of Ning Country's Cultivation Realm, was already prepared. After a clash, neither side gained much advantage, and it ended with the demon army retracting its territory.

The immense pressure compelled Ning Country's Cultivation Realm to find ways to connect more forces, and new demons continued to arrive, with both sides amassing strength, hoping to annihilate the other.

The Black Lotus Avatar subtly probed, discovering it was impossible to return to the Demon Realm in the short term, causing some headache.

Now, a world apart from the main body, if he does not return, the main body has no idea of the happenings here.

He was also unaware of the main body's movements, and it was unsuitable for the main body to venture over since the spatial rift currently only allowed passage for the Nascent Soul Level. Unless the main body found a way to traverse safely across worlds.

Celestial Demon Realm, Kui Continent, Black Stone City.

Over half a year had passed since Shi Qingqing took office as the new city lord. With Shen Wang overseeing and the Old City Lord's support, the transition between the old and new went smoothly without any major incidents.

Aside from his engagements in alchemy, Shen Wang spent most of his time cultivating. Shi Qingqing's belly grew larger, and Susu was nearing childbirth.

One day, the City Lord's Mansion abruptly heightened its security, especially in the rear courtyard, where Shen Wang personally stood guard, accompanied by Shi Qingqing, who was bearing her large belly.

Pregnancy added a gentle grace to Shi Qingqing, lessening her celestial aura. She smiled and said, "Husband, Sister Susu will surely be alright."

"I've made thorough preparations for Susu, so I'm not too tense, just pondering what your brother and others have been plotting recently. If they act during your childbirth, it might bring some trouble."

Shen Wang shook his head.

Shi Qingqing's beautiful eyebrows knitted slightly as she touched her belly, saying, "Shi Zhixiang has no particular skills, but the influence from his mother's side is considerable."

"Tell me about it."

Shen Wang sensed it was crucial to eliminate this unstable element.

"Lady Lizi hails from a branch of the Yaksha Race. Her uncle is quite formidable, and years ago, it was rumored that he was just a step away from becoming a Demon Saint and might have already broken through."

Shi Qingqing's tone became noticeably grave at the mention of the Demon Saint.

"Oh, quite a background."

Shen Wang mused, knowing the Yaksha Race was a powerful group, not to be underestimated even as a branch.

"Do you think they might act during your childbirth?"

Shen Wang asked.

Shi Qingqing paused briefly, then nodded, "It's possible. Although Shi Zhixiang is not much of a threat, Lady Lizi will certainly not give up easily. We must prepare."

Concerned about Shen Wang facing too much pressure, she said, "With father and you here, relying on Black Stone City's grand array, even if that person has broken through to a Demon Saint, they won't easily overcome it. After all, Black Stone City once had a Demon Saint, so it has its foundations."

"If there's trouble during this period, I'll handle it. You just rest and take care."

Shen Wang spoke confidently. Not to mention whether Shi Zhixiang's uncle had broken through; even if he had, Shen Wang was not afraid now.

"Mm."

Shi Qingqing nodded.

"Wah~"

The sound of a baby's cry interrupted their conversation.

Shi Qingqing smiled, "The baby is here."

"Ding, congratulations on acquiring the thirty-sixth Longevity Species. To protect the new life, your cultivation has increased by 3/100!"

In an instant, Shen Wang's realm advanced to the late stage of Divinity Transformation.

Shen Wang got up and, with Shi Qingqing, entered the room. A chubby baby was lying in the swaddling clothes, while Susu was drenched in sweat and entirely exhausted.

Shen Wang hurried over to infuse her with the Essence of Life, restoring her strength.

He caressed Susu's cheek, "You've worked hard; have a good rest."

"Giving birth to a daughter for my husband makes Susu very happy."

Susu shook her head gently.

"I understand."

After adjusting Susu's status, Shen Wang turned his attention to his newly born daughter.

Her talent was similar to Shen You's, also possessing the water attribute and achieving the level of a Lower Grade Divine Vein. Such a result was not ideal in terms of nurturing, but considering Susu's talents were inferior to Youli's, the fact that she could give birth to a bloodline talent of this grade was quite commendable.

"As long as she grows up, she has a chance to reach the top tier in this realm."

Shen Wang tidied up his daughter's body and named her Shen Xiaosu.

Once mother and daughter were both asleep, Shen Wang urged Shi Qingqing to rest as well. He glanced into the distance, showing a pensive expression.

Since the Black Lotus Avatar entered the spatial rift, it had not returned. Now he could not even determine if the Black Lotus Avatar was still alive.

"Continue to wait for news from the avatar, but I must also continue to find a wife. Utilize the system rewards to quickly break through to the Refining Void Realm, which will allow me to traverse this realm and seek a way to return."

While Shen Wangzheng was carefully planning, in a grand hall of the You Race Holy City, a lively and charming baby was surrounded by several white-haired, wise-looking elders.

"Great Elder, this child's Divine Vein has already begun to coalesce, with restrained brilliance. She undoubtedly holds infinite potential to become a deity in the future," said a benevolent elderly man in luxurious attire, full of anticipation.

"Indeed, our race hasn't seen a divine-level bloodline in millennia. It's surprising that it emerged from the descendant of a female from a remote branch." marveled another elderly man, slightly hunched over and holding a cane, with deep emotion.
