At this moment, the fighter jet's cockpit door opened. A woman approached next to the jet— it was none other than Wilda. She picked up the child, got into the air, and headed back to the Cosby residence.In the residence's courtyard, Candace sat cross-legged with nine glowing lights hovering around her. Upon closer inspection, these lights turned out to be nine children.In an instant, the ghost kings' eyes widened in shock, an expression that had never appeared on their faces before, as they stared at the nine children. It wasn't just them—even Roman and Francis were stunned in place, their energy destabilized and trembling uncontrollably.Even though they were witnessing this scene with their own eyes, it was still hard to believe. Why were there nine children floating around Candace? And what was Wilda doing, bringing yet another child here? What was going on?The way demons operated may be difficult to predict and understand, but generally speaking, they wouldn't do things that

At that moment, Wilda suddenly dropped to her knees.Her kneeling wasn't surprising, but what she said next was truly impactful. "Celestial Sovereign, these children are also your bloodline and legacy. They are your own flesh and blood. If they could speak at this moment, they would surely call you Great-Grandfather!"This sentence suddenly changed the atmosphere in the room.Indeed, these children's father was Remus, and Remus' mother was Melody, whose father was Francis.The other women also knelt one after another. They were determined to protect the children with their lives if necessary. However, they realized that if it came to a fight, they might not be able to win.So, the most effective approach now was to beg for mercy. A little humiliation for themselves didn't matter as long as the children could survive.They started speaking one after another."These children are your flesh and blood! Your legacy and continuation!""Celestial Sovereign, please let them go. They ar

Hearing Francis' words, everyone was momentarily stunned before surprise flashed across their expressions.Thinking back on it, Francis indeed never said he would kill these children. However, considering his hatred for Remus, it seemed very likely that he intended to get rid of them. So, what was he trying to say?Francis heaved a sigh, and his fierceness from before faded as he slowly said, "I am indeed angry with Remus, but it's only directed at him. I am also angry with you, but that's because you were in the wrong."These children should not exist in the Three Realms, but since they have been born, there's no helping it. No matter how ruthless I am, I wouldn't go as far as to harm ten newborn children."Besides, Darsia is already on the brink of collapse. Even if I don't kill them, they might not survive much longer. With that being the case, there's even less reason for me to kill them."Hearing that, the others still wore some lingering doubts on their faces, but Roman and

Meanwhile, Francis returned to the Upper Realms, which were in ruins, with debris everywhere. Even so, the remnants still made it clear just how magnificent it once was.It was Francis' first time returning here since the war. He stood at the very center of the Upper Realms, taking in all that once was. The place used to be filled with Heaven Energy, with Immortals filling the skies, magnificent mountains and waterfalls, and beasts."This is all because of your father. He was the one who destroyed everything here."Francis spoke slowly, as if addressing the babies behind him. But since they couldn't understand him, it seemed more like he was talking to himself.He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked around. From here, he could see the Mortal Realm, because the barrier between the Mortal Realm and the Upper Realms had been shattered during that battle.In fact, the Mortal Realm could also see the Upper Realms, but the distance was too great for them to do so. Ad

Silence followed Francis' words. Francis and Tyson exchanged a glance, neither speaking a word.After a long while, the sound of a child crying echoed inside the cave. It started with just one child, then became two, and gradually, all ten children were crying. Individually, their cries weren't very loud, but together, they were piercingly loud.Francis and Tyson looked at them at the same time.Francis said, "You've raised children before, so you have experience with them. I'm leaving them to you."Tyson remained seated on the stone bed, watching the children, and he softly started to sing a lullaby. His voice was just right, and the lyrics were gentle and soothing. Before long, the children stopped crying and soon fell asleep.He used to lull Remus to sleep this way, and now, he was doing the same for Remus' children.They waited until the children were in a deep slumber before Tyson asked, "Is there still a way?"He was referring to Amez invading Darsia and whether they could
