Just then, Alex and the others rushed out of the palace like the wind.
Simultaneously, the bronze palace disappeared as soon as a loud crashing sound filled the air. The
area had become deserted. There wasnât even a hole right there, as if the large Natureâs palace was
just a mere illusion.

âAh..!â
âNo way? You gave birth in a week?â Jade screamed when she saw the baby in Alexâs arms.
After that, she observed the babyâs face and noticed the lotus mark on her forehead. It looked quite odd
yet divine, so Jade asked, âIs this a birthmark? Itâs so weird!â
After the legacy entered the babyâs body, as though hiding itself away, not a single person would be
able to sense it. Even if Jade was leaning this close, along with her Tribulation Crossing level, she
couldnât sense anything at all.
Alex didnât want to spread the word about his daughter being the future Goddess of Nature. âItâs
probably because Iâm trained in Buddhism. Since a lotus is a Buddhist sacred object, and the martial
arts I trained had the holy lotus within, sheâs most likely received it too.â
Jade then asked, âHave you received the legacy in the palace then?â
Alex shook his head. âIt was too hard. We couldnât even get anywhere near it. Master, thereâs nothing
else in there either. Thereâs just this long flight of stairs, and we couldnât see the end of it. Most
importantly, it was too hard to climb up there. I couldnât even get through the first flight.â
Jade sighed. âSuch fate to improve wasnât even something normal people could imagine. Itâs fine that
you didnât get it. Donât feel dejected. Itâs pretty impressive that you two have been able to stay there for
a week.â
Alex nodded. He couldnât help but be impressed by how weird time passed within the palace. He felt as
if he had only spent a day there, but it had been a week out here.
Phoebe, on the other hand, stared at Daya, clearly filled with shock.
Daya used to be a superstar, even part of the Stoermer family in Michigan. Even though sheâd seen her
before, she didnât expect her to bear to Alexâs child.
Thinking back, she felt quite upset.
Oblivious that Phoebe was actually Phoebe now and not Yuno, Alex said, âMaster, Miss Yuno, my
daughter was just born, but we havenâ t prepared anything at hand. Just look, we even had to give her
our clothes. So weâve decided to head back. Do you guys want to go back or continue exploring? I
have the soul of a damned old lady who can be your guide. If you walk past this, you might be able to
find a place where humans stay.â
Phoebe froze. âDid he just call me Miss Yuno?â
Jade, on the other hand, said, âI was thinking that if we could find the entrance and seal it up. Everyone
witnessed just how powerful the members of the Kamikaze clan were, right? If they find their way into
America, we definitely canât deal with them with our current powers. They are far more dangerous than
the demon beasts back in the ancient boundary.â
Alex nodded slowly as he looked at his baby daughter. It was fortunate that he could use his purse and
ring now, so there were quite a few pieces of clothing in there.
After that, Daya ordered Baymax to find some demon beasts who just given birth to deal with her
daughterâs hunger temporarily.
After that, Alex took out old lady Murphyâs soul, and with her guidance, headed toward the other side of
the dungeon.

However, they had no idea that the broken edges of the ancient boundary were experiencing a massive
change. It had been a week since the leopard demon governor left.
On this very day, he had actually brought a hundred thousand demon troops to wage war. The thirty-six
defense stations that America built in the ancient boundary were no match for the demon troops.
In just half a day, they managed to defeat all thirty-six stations. Now, they were attacking the human
outpost with the biggest entrance.
All the higher-ups of the Flying Eagles cried in shock and pain.
Darnicâs strategy had caused the squad to lose over thirty thousand troops, causing them to be trapped
within the other side of the boundary.
Eleanor, the military counselor Eleanor, finally exploded. âDarnic Young, youâre simply useless! You
have no idea about the wars over at the boundary. You were the one who sent them to their doom. You
have no right to be the commander of the Flying Eagles!â
Darnic was furious. âAll of this is Jade Benmoreâs fault. She works with the enemy and has leaked our
battle strategy. It caused us to sustain such a great loss!â
