Dinner was delivered by the maid, and in addition to Wen Yu's meal, there was also a bottle for Friday.
Friday, who had just been born, would probably never get to drink breast milk in this life...
Parenting was an experience Wen Yu had never encountered before, and of course, it wasn't a pleasant one—Friday's wails left Wen Yu feeling overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Wen Yu had a powerful tool at his disposal!
The power of his soul acted like a warm bath, soothing Friday’s pure soul. Under this influence, Friday slowly fell asleep, allowing Wen Yu to finally take a moment to sort through the events of the day.
From the guard, Wen Yu had learned that this ancient demon had sneakily infiltrated the gathering place of hope from the outside world, but he couldn't deduce the specific targets or the true strategic objectives of the ancient demon.
Seeing that Lei still remained in the room, showing no intention of leaving, Wen Yu sighed and turned back to his own room.
At this moment, Lei didn’t need comfort or interruption; he just needed silence.
The night passed without conversation.
...
Early the next morning, as Wen Yu was feeding Friday, a knock on the door sounded.
"Come in."
"Creek."
The door opened, footsteps entered, and Lei's voice followed, "Thank you, my lord, truly thank you!"
Wen Yu turned to look at Lei, who had already regained his composure—grief over a lost spouse was not something that could easily be mended. Wen Yu couldn’t tell if Lei was genuinely strong or just pretending to be.
But one thing was undeniable; Lei in this state was indeed more effective than the Lei who had been crying loudly yesterday.
"Have a seat."
Wen Yu gestured to the chair beside him. Once he saw Lei sitting next to him, he placed Friday into Lei's arms.
"Thank you."
While cradling Friday, Lei expressed his gratitude to Wen Yu again. Wen Yu merely smiled and shook his head, waiting for Lei to speak.
Lei had come to find him early in the morning for a reason; it seemed that after his sorrow yesterday, he had quickly entered a different state...
"The demonic clan has launched a massive offensive; that ancient demon yesterday was just the vanguard."
Lei promptly got to the point, starting to detail the results of his investigation from last night—while the humans on the African continent were not united, the different gathering places still communicated with each other.
Furthermore, there was the existence of an earth community above these gathering places!
"Just yesterday, the gathering place in South Africa was breached. A single, extremely powerful demon turned the entire South Africa gathering place into a sea of flames!"
"The gathering place in Nigeria was also breached, all level five practitioners in the gathering place were killed in one night. That night, a large number of demonic creatures surged out from the Demon Realm Gate near Nigeria, and the news received this morning confirmed that all survivors in the Nigeria gathering place were completely slaughtered!"
"The gathering place in Egypt managed to escape but suffered significant casualties from a demonic creature's attack yesterday. Now the Eternal Sky City from Huaxia has opened a teleportation portal to Egypt, transporting the population to Beijing."
"The largest mutated beast swarm in Africa—the lion pride led by the lion king—engaged in an extremely intense battle last night. This morning, human scouts found the lion king near its territory, seriously injured and on the verge of death, carrying hundreds of different viruses."
"Moreover… yesterday, fifteen gathering leaders were assassinated, and even three divine beasts were killed!"
"This morning, a massive energy reaction was detected at all the Demon Realm Gates within Africa. It can already be confirmed that the demonic clan is about to launch a large-scale invasion of Africa. According to estimates, the scale of this invasion may be stronger than any previous demonic disaster!"
A series of battle intelligence poured out of Lei's mouth, but the information contained within was anything but pleasant—dozens of demonic vanguards had already brought unimaginable damage to the African continent!
