Forlan and Hemlin exchanged glances. They immediately realized the most important thing they neglected after Tang Shaoyang killed the seven gods. The Demon in the Demon Continent.
The reason many people worshiped them as Gods was because the seven gods had been protecting The Aidan Continent from the demon. Not just the demon, but the monster and ferocious beast from another continent as well.
That was how The Radiant Temple gained massive support from the people. Despite their atrocity in the war against many kingdoms. Many still supported them and slowly gained more advantages than the other kingdoms and factions.
Now the seven gods were dead, killed by Tang Shaoyang. No one protected the border from the demons and the ferocious monsters. Hemlin and Forlan were supposed to fill that vacant position, but they forgot about that because of Tang Shaoyang.
"We will postpone the Grand Assembly until we solve the crises!" Forlan made a quick decision. They could not delay the demon's invasion. Once the demons established themselves in the Aidan Continent. It would be just a matter of time until the demon swarmed the Aidan Continent.
"I will tell Emerson about the demon invasion and ask him to inform the other kingdoms as well!" Forlan stopped at the door, "I will lead the available adventurers to Artorakh Kingdom and hope that I can contain the demon in Artorakh Kingdom."

Forlan and Parmes left the room together. Forlan needed Parmes to contain Archdemon Korlon.
That was right, Forlan did not think of helping the Artorakh Kingdom, but containing the demon in the Artorakh Kingdom. Not because he was heartless, but because he was being realistic. Archdemon Korlon was a God Rank Demon, and Artorakh Kingdom only had two Demi-God Ranks, The King and their Great Commander.
It was just impossible for the Artorakh Kingdom to survive against a God Rank and two Demi-God Rank. The Archdemon and two Demon Kings. The Artorakh Kingdom was doomed in Forlan's eyes.
The best option for them was to contain the demons in one territory and wipe them out once His Majesty Tang Shaoyang arrived. That was the thing that came to his mind after hearing the news from Parmes.
He was not that crazy to fight the Archdemon by himself. Especially when there was a possibility that another Archdemon was hiding between the demon army. The five famed Archdemons were not a myth as he had fought them before. Let alone, The Demon Sovereign might be joining the invasion as well after finding out that the seven gods were dead.
That was the biggest blunder by him and Hemlin. They could not be blamed for that as no one would expect that seven gods would perish in one single day. No one would believe that until it happened.

"Oh, my baby~" Tang Shaoyang was carrying his daughter who just woke up from her nap. It was just a few hours on Earth, but he had not seen her for two days. As soon as he returned, he went to meet his daughter.
He left Lunea and King Manasa to Li Shuang's administration. A group specially picked by Li Shuang to help her run The Empire. Thanks to them, there was so little for him to do. Aside from the big decision, they did not need his presence.
Tang Shaoyang walked to his daughter's favorite spot near the window, swinging her lightly, keeping her entertained. The small laugh from her daughter was soothing him and made him so happy. Such a simple smile was enough to make him happy. That smile just made his day.
But that happiness did not last that long as a notification rang as a message symbol came into his sight. He checked who sent the message, and his frown deepened.
Hemlin told him that the Adventurer Guild needed at least a week or two weeks to make the preparation. But he just returned two hours ago, meaning a day just passed in Aqura. Just one day, and Hemlin sent him a message already.
Tang Shaoyang opened the message with the hope it was just a report for the Adventurer Guild's meeting. Four paragraph message was written by Hemlin for him. Such a long message gave him a bad vibe. He really hoped these four paragraphs were just the report for the meeting.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut his smile disappeared as soon as the demon was mentioned. Sure enough, there was a big issue. The Demon from the Demon Continent invaded the Aidan Continent.
Even though Hemlin did not mention it. The message implied he was at fault for the demon invasion. The seven gods had been protecting The Aidan Continent, and now they were gone. The demon took this chance to invade The Aidan Continent.
His expression immediately dropped after reading the whole message. Hemlin was asking for reinforcement. There were six God Rank Demons. Hemlin, Forlan, and Parmes could not win against them just by themselves. That was why they were asking for assistance.
Even though Hemlin repeatedly apologized in the message. That did not change the fact that his quality time with his daughter was interrupted yet again. He stayed in Aqura for more than a day, trying the dungeon. But Hemlin and Forlan never mentioned the demon invasion in that long time.
Tang Shaoyang sensed a tiny hand grabbing his middle finger. He looked at her daughter, and his dark expression immediately disappeared. He put on a gentle smile and started to rock her again. But he could no longer enjoy it anymore because of the thought that people died because of him.
Tang Shaoyang brought Xiulan to her mother and told her what happened in Aqura World. He told Ava that he might leave again soon.
Ava did not mind because of the time difference. At most, Tang Shaoyang would be away for one day at most. She sent off her husband with a hot kiss on the lips and a hug.
Tang Shaoyang did not immediately return to Aqura. He called Zaneos through the Communication System. Demon problem should be solved by demons as well. He had the thought of converting the demon into his army. Six God Ranks was not something he could ignore.
