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 wasn’t even a hole right there, as if the large Nature’s palace was just a mere illusion.

“Ah..!”
“No way? You gave birth in a week?” Jade screamed when she saw the baby in Alex’s arms.
After that, she observed the baby’s face and noticed the lotus mark on her forehead. It looked quite odd yet divine, so Jade asked, “Is this a birthmark? It’s so weird!”
After the legacy entered the baby’s 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 couldn’t sense anything at all.
Alex didn’t want to spread the word about his daughter being the future Goddess of Nature. “It’s probably because I’m trained in Buddhism. Since a lotus is a Buddhist sacred object, and the martial arts I trained had the holy lotus within, she’s most likely received it too.”
Jade then asked, “Have you received the legacy in the palace then?”
Alex shook his head. “It was too hard. We couldn’t even get anywhere near it. Master, there’s nothing else in there either. There’s just this long flight of stairs, and we couldn’t see the end of it. Most importantly, it was too hard to climb up there. I couldn’t even get through the first flight.”
Jade sighed. “Such fate to improve wasn’t even something normal people could imagine. It’s fine that you didn’t get it. Don’t feel dejected. It’s pretty impressive that you two have been able to stay there for a week.”
Alex nodded. He couldn’t 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 she’d seen her before, she didn’t expect her to bear to Alex’s child.
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.
Darnic’s 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. “Darnic Young, you’re 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!”
Darnic was furious. “All of this is Jade Benmore’s fault. She works with the enemy and has leaked our battle strategy. It caused us to sustain such a great loss!”
