Everything that happened in Dripus was like a microcosm of this war.
Killing the rebels, capturing those who did not resist or had weak resistance, occupying the scientific research facilities of the Demon Palace, and collecting top talents from the Demon Palace.
This was what the spirit of the demon lord wanted...
He did not intend to bring deep pain and harm to the Demon Palace; he simply wanted to restore order and reclaim everything that belonged to him.
As for the grievances between the spirit of the demon lord and the demon lord, strictly speaking, they had little to do with the ordinary residents of the Demon Palace.
Indeed, the spirit of the demon lord was not an agent of destruction and chaos; on the contrary, he was a reformer.
Using the Demon Palace as a breeding ground, he aimed to create a new world where the surface demonic clan and the Demon Palace would merge into one!
In fact, to summarize, what the spirit of the demon lord was currently doing was not much different from when he drove away Feili and unified the highest seven-member council of the demonic clan military department.
"So, we will have to face a larger, stronger, and more terrifying demonic clan."
Sitting amidst the ruins of Dripus, Wen Yu watched a row of captives being led away in the distance, unable to help but murmur.
At this point, Wen Yu already had thoughts of retreat.
After briefly observing the spirit of the demon lord's power and realizing his intention to integrate the Demon Palace, the remaining matters became less important to Wen Yu.
Feili, the demon lord, and even the fate of the Demon Palace had nothing to do with Wen Yu.
He lifted his head again, looking at the thigh of the avatar of the demon spirit that had already emerged in the distance. Then, Wen Yu found a secluded spot, and with the appearance of a black hole, he took a half-step back and plunged into the black hole.
When Wen Yu opened his eyes again, he had arrived at the Eternal Prison Cage.
Around him, aside from Number One and Yuwen, the other six Wen Yu were all lurking within the Eternal Prison Cage, making the already cramped space feel even more crowded.
"This is troublesome."
When Number Three returned, what he heard was Number Four's troubled tone. He nodded at the remaining people and then looked at the avatars of the demon spirit in the cage.
One by one, they appeared dispirited, completely losing the desire to resist.
At this point, Number Three let out a sigh of relief.
The spirit of the demon lord was indeed powerful, but he himself and his avatars were entirely different systems.
"What does Number One say about this?"
Number Three asked.
From Number One's return to the spirit of the demon lord launching an offensive against the Demon Palace, the preparations took three years.
And from the start of the war to the spirit of the demon lord reaching Dripus now, it took nearly two months.
Indeed, the spirit of the demon lord's progress was not fast—mainly because the avatars controlled by the spirit of the demon lord also required rest to some extent.
In other words, although the spirit of the demon lord was strong, there were indeed limits.
Hearing Number Three's question, Number Five gently shook his head.
"Number One didn't say anything else, and besides..."
At this point, Number Five immediately showed a wry smile.
"Even if he tells the report to Beijing, there's nothing much to prepare for; what needs to be done has already been done, and the enemy has grown stronger again. There's nothing anyone can do about it."
"We can't do anything either..."
In Area One, within Wen Yu's residence.
Number One was holding a notebook, completely informing Lin Haifeng of everything Number Three had seen, heard, and felt.
However, Lin Haifeng thought for a moment and just shook his head slightly.
"We can't do anything!"
He repeated, but this time, Lin Haifeng used an affirmative statement. He truly had no good solutions.
Earth and the demonic clan had no connection to begin with—after the spirit of the demon lord integrated the Demon Palace, the strength of the Demon Realm would inevitably undergo another breakthrough, but strictly speaking, this had nothing to do with Earth!
