Die, princess, the devil is mine!

The others were unsurprised that Catherine had beaten them to it.

After all, she had been chanting Lynn's name so many times lately, it was as if she were possessed or cursed.

Some more knowledgeable people, like Guji, said that Catherine's behavior was a sign of being love-struck. This statement from the kitten was translated by Natasha for everyone to hear.

Although no one knows what "love-struck" means, it feels like these three words are quite fitting to summarize Catherine's symptoms.

Catherine snuggled in Lynn's arms for a while before little Yuri and Yuna, who were waiting in line behind, finally got to take over.

This wasn't because Catherine had taken her seat and then voluntarily gave up her place; rather, Lynn couldn't help but feel sorry for her under the expectant gaze of her two adorable daughters.

While it's important that my wife, Catherine, has suddenly become more affectionate and clingy, the children's feelings cannot be ignored.

Lynn patted Catherine on the back, then took her out of his arms and waved to little Yuri and little Yuna.

After giving her two adorable daughters a hug on each side, the others slowly gathered around. Although they also missed Lynn, they were still a little embarrassed to compete with the little ones for her attention.

Guji and Xiaohua took advantage of their size to get to the front. They still habitually tried to climb onto Lynn's shoulder, as that was practically their exclusive territory.

However, after Xiaohua got closer and sniffed at Lynn's trouser leg, she looked up at her master with a shocked expression, and unconsciously took a few steps back.

On the other side, Guji was completely uninhibited, climbing up Lynn's trouser leg to his shoulder as usual, and even poking out its cat head to gently rub against his cheek.

Lynn reached out to angrily rub the cat's head, but only one shoulder was heavy. Even though his hand was halfway up, he didn't see the little flower climb or jump up.

Guji, waiting to be petted, tilted its head in confusion at the hand hovering above its head, then reached out its paw and patted Lynn's face with its paw pad.

"Meow~?"

Natasha didn't need to translate this; Lynn could already understand animal language.

Guji is saying, "Have you ever kicked your drug habit? How can you resist touching this?"

Lynn knew Guji was always mischievous, but she didn't expect this guy to have so many witty remarks. He didn't seem like an old lady cat at all; he was more like a fat, lazy guy who loved surfing the internet...

At the same time, Xiaohua was also looking at Guji on Lynn's shoulder with a shocked expression.

Do you know whose shoulders you're standing on? You're even using your own flesh to pat Him, how dare you?

While keeping an eye on Guji, Xiaohua retreated repeatedly. Once she was far enough away, she turned around and ran out of the teleportation array's range in a flash.

Seeing her cat's unusual behavior, Catherine forgot about her affection for Lynn and chased after it.

These people worked at the core of the teleportation array, while outside, a group of space mages were drawing the array, activating what needed to be activated, repairing what needed to be repaired, and rebuilding some damaged parts.

The constant supply of power inside made their work exceptionally easy. Suddenly, a cat ran out from inside. The space mages and guards outside didn't pay much attention. It was the pet of the Divine Queens. In terms of status, it was probably close to the level of a high-ranking saint. Who could control it?

But then a royal concubine came out, which was not right. The army was advancing and was about to reach the edge of the continent. The teleportation path of the entire Divine Protection Continent was being restored and connected at an accelerated pace. As the strongest people in this world, the Divine Concubines were always hardworking and respected by the people. Why did they leave work early today?

Before the staff outside the array could deepen their doubts, the teleportation magic array, which had only provided a barely sufficient amount of power, suddenly experienced a burst of energy, quickly filling all the nodes that needed energy allocation. This allowed the work that might have taken three or four days to be completed to be finished today.

This is because some damaged parts need to be recast and reconnected; otherwise, we might have been able to leave work by now.

"You finish the rest of the work, I'll take them away first."

Just as Catherine chased after Little Flower, grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, and pulled it back into the magic teleportation array, a familiar yet authoritative voice came from inside.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor has returned!

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, but before they could bow down towards the formation, a gentle breeze swept by, and the magic array that had been separating the inside and outside due to construction was activated. When everyone looked up again, the Holy Emperor and his consorts were nowhere to be seen...

In the blink of an eye, Lynn appeared on the God-Forsaken Continent with his family. Because he traveled through time so fast, his wives did not realize that they had arrived in their homeland, a place that neither they nor their ancestors had ever set foot on.

The continent of the gods has been occupied for far too long, so long that even the elders of the dragon clan have never lived here, and only have impressions of it in their inherited memories.

"Welcome to the Forsaken Continent... Well, no, now that this continent has returned to us, we should change its name. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Having arrived in the God-Forsaken Continent with his wife and children, and feeling the freshly cleansed air, Lynn raised his hand and pointed to the boundless distance, then turned to his dearest loved ones and asked...

"Is this the God-Forsaken Continent? How come the environment is better than the God-Protected Continent... even better than the God-Blessed Continent?"

Helena and Natasha looked up at the azure sky. If they didn't know that Lynn wouldn't tell such a pointless lie, they really wouldn't have believed that this place, with air as fresh as an elven forest, was actually the Forsaken Continent, which had been occupied by demons for countless years and even the gods had abandoned it by changing its name.

"Wow~~ As expected of Dad, he got everything done so quickly. Does that mean little Yuri will have three continents to walk the cat with from now on?"

Having just arrived, Little Yuri got a little flower from Catherine's mother and gently stroked and comforted the trembling cat. Now, upon hearing that the pristine beauty before her was actually the God-Forsaken Continent, which had not yet officially returned to the rule of the Divine World, Little Yuri couldn't help but happily raise the little flower.

Compared to the lazy and gluttonous Guji, Xiaohua, who had always been raised freely by Catherine's mother, loved going out for walks. The Forsaken Continent had just recovered from its ruins and obviously had many fun and beautiful places; Xiaohua was sure she would love it here. However, the usually lively Xiaohua didn't run around happily here. Instead, she looked at Guji, whom she had always looked down upon, with an extremely rare... admiration?

I never expected you to be so brave. No wonder you come from a family of eunuchs. I was truly disrespectful before.

Before, in my eyes, you were just a poop gun, constantly being loaded while eating. Now it seems you're neither a cat nor a gun, because you're a real tiger...

The little flower huddled in its young owner's arms. After a short period of adjustment, it had stopped trembling. However, when it inadvertently glanced at its male owner, it would still be startled and look away, glancing around nervously.

"This is a continent that can only be seen in history books. In the history books of that era, our ancestors initially had the ambition to reclaim the continent abandoned by the gods. But as time went on, such records became less and less, until no one mentioned this continent that had been lost for many years anymore."

Vivian was relatively more sentimental. Looking at this completely unfamiliar God-Forsaken Continent, she couldn't help but sigh. This was clearly a continent that belonged to their world, but standing here, she didn't feel much of a sense of familiarity returning to her homeland. This real homeland had been a "vague and ethereal" existence throughout her entire growth process.

No one had ever been here, no one had ever seen this place, and not many people even thought about it often before Lynn appeared.

If it weren't for the inclusion of history in the basic education curriculum of the Divine Blessed Continent, probably very few people would know about this place.

Now they are standing firmly on the solid ground of the God-Forsaken Continent. Not only Vivian, but probably everyone else except for the carefree cat and snow eagle has many feelings.

"By the way, now that Lord Lynn is back, has the transaction been completed? Should we send someone over immediately to repair the boundary wall?"

Unlike the other women who wanted to spend some quality time with Lynn after their brief reunion, Claire, focused on her work, gazed into the distance, thinking about how to isolate herself from the demon realm.

The reason why they couldn't sever communication with the Demon Realm in the past was because the boundary wall was not on the Divine Blessed Continent, nor on the half of the Divine Protected Continent that they had reclaimed, but on the Divine Abandoned Continent, which had been conquered by their ancestors.

Of the three continents in the world of miracles, the continent of God's Abandonment is the edge of the world. Perhaps the other side of the continent of God's Blessing is adjacent to another world, but the continent of God's Abandonment is the one that directly faces the Demon Realm. As long as the boundary wall that was broken in the direction of the continent of God's Abandonment is not repaired, the Demon Realm will always be able to travel between the world of miracles and the Demon Realm through various means.

Therefore, after Lynn completed the deal with the demons, in order to ensure the safety of the Divine World, their first priority was no longer to restore the various facilities of the Divine Protection Continent, but to seize the time and opportunity to repair the boundary between the Divine World and the Demon Realm.

While settling and relocating people and post-war reconstruction are all important, we must first close the "doors" before doing these things. Otherwise, how can we concentrate on construction while risking being broken into by demons?
In particular, the Miracle World only has one near-god, Lynn, while the Demon Realm currently has two. Claire is very worried that the demons will go back on their word and once again gather a large force to attack the Miracle World. Based on the impression the people of the Miracle World have of the demons, they are capable of doing such a thing.

"Boundary wall? Okay, I'll repair it right away."

Hearing Claire say this, Lynn could understand her concerns. In addition, he could now travel freely between the two worlds, and the current situation was not yet time for the two worlds to communicate. It was appropriate to temporarily isolate the two worlds.

Once he has properly arranged all matters between the two realms and ensured that Victory will not rebel and breach the boundary to invade again after his accidental entry into the realm of gods, then he will consider allowing the realms of gods and demons to communicate with each other.

Achieving this is not particularly difficult. All that is needed is for at least one more near-god among the seven demon kings to suppress Victory, and for three more near-gods to emerge from the world of miracles to avoid any unforeseen accidents.

After becoming a true god (true demon), perhaps because of his identity as the Demon Emperor, he was able to sense the whereabouts of the fleeing Yellow Spring Demon Clan and the remnants of the Purgatory Demon Clan.

With their formidable lineup and terrifying numbers, which have somehow regained considerable strength, supporting four or five near-gods would not be difficult.

The reason why there are so few near-gods among the demon race throughout history is not only because cultivation is arduous and leveling up is difficult, but also because the peak powerhouses have to lead the entire race to worship the demon god, and share the benefits with their subordinates. Even the fastest method—destroying the world—requires a long time to conquer, and the world power obtained, after nourishing themselves, must be extracted with their faith power and handed over to the demon god. In reality, the demon itself does not get much.

As for the world of miracles...

I don't know what the situation is like in the realm of gods, but in any case, the number of near-gods in their lower realm is so small that it is almost negligible, to the point that they can't even understand it.

Fortunately, with his existence, he has no other ties and will not be subject to any deductions. Moreover, he has the powerful branch of the super-powerful demon race as an experience pack, so it is still possible for him to mentor a few near-gods of his generation.

The only problem is that he can't take action personally anymore. Otherwise, with his god-level strength, wiping out a clan with a single god would be a piece of cake, and he could probably bring his chosen wives to level 999 in less than a day.

Unfortunately, he can't act too bravely right now, so he can only let his wives take care of themselves. However, he can supervise the battle on the spot. Under the pressure of a god-level being, the demon offspring of the Yellow Springs and Purgatory races should be unable to put up any resistance.

As Lynn pondered these follow-up matters, he waved one hand and led everyone to the edge of the world.

Lynn had never displayed such strength before, and even when traveling long distances, he had to rely on the power of teleportation magic arrays.

Previously, he led everyone from the core of the God-protected Continent to the God-abandoned Continent. Everyone was amazed by the legendary continent they had never seen before and hadn't noticed this. Now, seeing him repeat the same trick, they finally realized it.

After everyone landed at the edge of the world, before anyone could ask a question, he casually smoothed out the void a few times, then turned around to indicate that the boundary wall was repaired and everything was done.

Even if they were slow to realize it, they could guess what was going on.

What a level 999 near-god couldn't do before, he can now do with ease, like lifting a finger... or rather, he really only raised his hand twice!
So, apart from Guji and Xiaohua, everyone else looked at Lynn with surprise and disbelief.

With so many beautiful and bright eyes watching him, Lynn certainly couldn't put on a show in front of his wife and children.

So he simply shrugged and said in a very casual tone—

"Why are you looking at me? I just accidentally became a god..."
