As the video feed of Feili went dark, the four individuals, including the spirit of the demon lord, silently ended the video call.
At the same time, the second meeting between the main body and the avatar commenced.
"What should we do?"
"Kill Feili, kill Regas, what else can we do?"
"What about Lord of the Jiang Family?"
"That waste, just consider him dead."
"That's right, there's no need to waste too much time on Lord of the Jiang Family. Right now, he and even Wen Yu are not important. The key is to deal with Feili himself. Be prepared and wait for my order. In the best case, we can directly eliminate Feili and take over his body. In the worst case, we must seize control of the surface demonic clan."
Since Feili had laid all these matters bare, the remaining choices were quite simple for the spirit of the demon lord—over countless years, the spirit had already amassed enough power, sufficient to clear away all obstacles and lay a solid foundation for reclaiming the Demon Realm.
In the eyes of the spirit of the demon lord, Feili was merely a minor obstacle on the path forward...
"Alright, that's enough for now. Prepare yourselves; as for the rest, wait for my next command."
"By the way, remember, there's no need to act like we're going all out against Feili. It's better if the lower ranks remain unaware of these matters."
This was the spirit's small concern—his avatars were limited, and for the lower and middle tiers of the demonic clan, the title of demon lord was far more useful than that of the spirit of the demon lord. To resolve Feili completely without anyone knowing was the best outcome for the spirit.
The remaining three took their orders and, as the mental connection was severed, Yan Kairuo exhaled a sigh of relief. He turned around to look at his four brothers behind him, a faint smile tugging at his lips.
"Gurga, what about you?"
"Reynolds."
"Bradka."
"Three realms."
"Alder."
One by one, the four introduced themselves clearly. Hearing this, Yan Kairuo's smile broadened. He stepped forward and embraced each of his brothers.
"You've all suffered over the years... But don't worry, good days are coming soon."
"Not really that hard, just a bit boring, that's the real issue," Reynolds, the world will, spoke up—unlike the spirit's avatars, the individual avatars of the world will were not closely connected to the main body after taking over. Their consciousness and memories were not shared. Furthermore, due to the spirit's low-profile decisions, after taking over strong individuals, they mostly remained hidden in the spirit's inner sanctum, rarely showing their faces.
Those who completely took over their former hosts' lives, like Aoga, Reyes, Yan Kairuo, and even Lord of the Jiang Family, were ultimately just a minority.
"Regardless of anything, now that you four are here with me, I will definitely treat you well. How about this: go back and tell the spirit you all can take a position here with me and enjoy some delightful times outside. What do you think?"
Yan Kairuo spoke generously, eager to share his authority with his brothers. Reynolds and the other three exchanged glances, and after a moment, they nodded with a smile.
Being able to enjoy the glory that comes with authority, this was a refreshing change for these world wills who had hidden for many years. They had nothing else to do, and given the current situation, it was perfectly reasonable for the four to stay with Yan Kairuo a bit longer.
Seeing this, Yan Kairuo said, "Let's go eat something good first," and led the way out to the hall.
...
Yan Kairuo's chef was quite capable. In no time, a variety of delicacies were served on the table.
As eleventh level strongmen, they had long since grown indifferent to these external sensory stimulations. However, Yan Kairuo’s first treat still had Reynolds and the others eating with gusto, the servants in the restaurant puzzled, seemingly unaware of why these four unfamiliar individuals were worthy of dining with Lord Yan Kairuo. But Yan Kairuo simply raised his wine glass, smiling as he watched his brothers eat.
