Bai Yan experimented for a while, familiarizing himself with his enhanced abilities, then unfolded his Demon Wings and flew towards where Satan was.

Athena also cast a flying spell on herself and followed silently behind Bai Yan.

In an instant, they arrived beside Satan.

"Lord Bai Yan... why are you here?"

Bai Yan, who suddenly appeared beside Satan, had become even more unfathomable in strength, which made Satan's attitude towards him increasingly respectful.

Lord Bai Yan was indeed becoming more like that great figure. It seemed that no one could stop Lord Bai Yan's rise.

Satan thought silently, his admiration for Bai Yan growing stronger.

"Hmm, the inheritance obtained from Father God has now been claimed by me, and there is nothing left I need in the Divine Kingdom. I'll leave this place to you from now on."

Bai Yan smiled and patted Satan on the shoulder. At this moment, he could already contend with those in the Supreme Realm. Satan's powerful divine power was only equivalent to the Saint Realm, no longer something he held in high regard, naturally causing his attitude to change.

"Yes, Lord Bai Yan."

Athena observed Satan's respect towards Bai Yan, and the smile on her face grew even richer.

It seemed following the master was indeed the right choice.

"In this divine war, have the losses of our warriors been tallied?"

Bai Yan didn't notice Athena's smile but instead asked Satan.

During the time he went to seek the inheritance, Satan had also been busy. Now that Bai Yan inquired, Satan naturally reported the casualties and gains of this divine war without omission.

"Out of Lord Bai Yan's 300,000 Demon Army, a total of 1,000 were killed, with barely any severely wounded, and less than 10,000 lightly injured."

"However, a lot of ordinary demons died, probably in the tens of thousands, given the vast Divine Kingdom and its many gods of varying strengths."

Upon hearing Satan's report, Bai Yan frowned slightly. Although he knew that war spared no one, he still felt a bit heartbroken to lose so many from his Demon Army.

These beings with Intermediate Divine Power, comparable to Legendary Monks, losing a thousand of them was indeed distressing for him.

Yet he did not consider that when dealing with Father God, the earth-shattering strike he delivered had wiped out more than a hundred thousand ordinary gods from the Divine Kingdom, a hundred times the number of his fallen soldiers.

Fortunately, Bai Yan was not one to hesitate. After instructing Athena to prepare the pensions, he set the matter aside.

"Does Lord Bai Yan have any requirements for the development of the Divine Kingdom?"

Satan humbly inquired, bowing his head, just like when he first met that great figure.

"I don't have any major requirements, but given the Divine Kingdom's unique nature, you can continue to expand it as a training ground for the Demon Soldiers, or it can also serve as a pasture to nurture and supply demon energy. Of course, you can also develop the Divine Kingdom according to your own intuition. My only requirement is this."

"I want to see a stronger Divine Kingdom, not one that is declining. Do you understand?"

As he spoke of serious matters, Bai Yan's expression also became more solemn, looking at Satan with both trust and urgency in his eyes.

"I understand, Lord Bai Yan. Rest assured, I will indeed establish the Divine Kingdom into a more thriving existence."

Satan nodded in agreement to Bai Yan's request. In fact, even without Bai Yan saying so, he would still proceed in this manner.

Now, the Abyss, Hell, and the Divine Kingdom were all under Satan's control. The existence of these three realms greatly increased Satan's power at once.

In the future, he would no longer need to confine himself to the Abyss and Hell. The larger the area available to cultivate demons, the more help he could provide to Bai Yan.

"Alright, let's agree on this. I'll head back first."

Seeing Satan's serious demeanor, Bai Yan knew his words had been heeded, so he opened the portal and returned to Demon Island.

The first thing upon his return to Demon Island was, as with the other realms, Bai Yan set up a portal directly leading to the Divine Kingdom and fortified it.

With this, the soldiers of Demon Island could directly access the Divine Kingdom to obtain the various materials needed by Demon Island.

The vast Divine Kingdom contained a variety of minerals and substances. Even the demon energy Bai Yan needed could be continuously harvested by grazing powerful creatures in the Divine Kingdom, paving the way for Bai Yan's demon energy to reach a path of sustainable development.

However, these were still just some of Bai Yan's ideas. As for how to implement them, Bai Yan sought out Fu Chao.

"Brother Yan, how come you came back? What's going on with the Divine Kingdom?"

Fu Chao, who had returned to Demon Island to take charge earlier than Bai Yan, showed a look of confusion upon seeing him.

"Nothing much, the Divine Kingdom has been handed over to Satan. I just thought I'd come back first to discuss a matter with you."

Bai Yan pulled Fu Chao into the meeting room to sit face to face.

"What matter has Brother Yan so urgent?"

Fu Chao was curious about Bai Yan's current situation and thus inquired. Given their relationship, he wasn't worried about Bai Yan being annoyed by his directness.

"It's not urgent. It's just that now the whole Divine Kingdom has fallen into our hands, and I'm thinking about whether it is possible to cultivate beings within it that contain a large amount of demon energy. This way, we won't need to look everywhere for demon energy when we need it."

Bai Yan laid out his thoughts, and after listening, Fu Chao also seemed pensive.

"Brother Yan, I think this plan is feasible. The vast Divine Kingdom is enough for us to breed countless beings within it. Coupled with the Biochemical Crisis realm, this is a double insurance."

"Hmm, since you also think this plan is feasible, then you can start preparing for it. Assign this task to Athena, let her stay in the Divine Kingdom to graze for us."

Bai Yan smiled and patted Fu Chao on the shoulder, saying to him.

As for Fu Chao, what could he say but tackle this task with a helpless expression and start searching for suitable creatures to breed.

Having resolved a major issue in his mind, Bai Yan immediately returned to the central area of Demon Island, going back to his family.

Since Little Mianao was born, he hadn't spent much time with her.

Just as recent Divine Kingdom matters were wrapping up, he could spend more time beside Little Mianao, fulfilling his duty as a father.

"You still know how to come back, huh!"

When Bai Yan appeared in front of An Yan, she looked at him with a reproachful glance.

Cradling Little Mianao, An Yan radiated a powerful maternal glow, making Bai Yan momentarily speechless in rebuttal.

He also understood it was his fault for not being with them, so he could only rely on his thick skin to brush it off.

"But I'm back now, aren't I? I'll spend more time with you this time. I promise!"

"Really?"

"Truer than gold!"

"You're not lying to me?"

"I'd be a little dog if I lied!"

"Alright, come hold your daughter."

Ultimately, An Yan couldn't resist Bai Yan's presence, melting into his embrace.

This made An Xiaowan, watching from the side, exceedingly envious, silently thinking to herself.

I must have Brother Yan give me a child too! Hmph!
