After being weakened by Chen Yu and Ni Nasu, the strong tropical storm madendfall in Tokyo that evening. Although it caused some property damage, fortunately, the storm''s winds were not particrly strong. Japan, as a coastal nation frequently hit by typhoons, had rich experience in disaster response, so there were no casualties.


    However, such an eerie weather phenomenon still drew the attention of various countries. After all, neither the sudden appearance of the strong typhoon nor the counter-typhoon that neutralized it were naturally urring phenomena. This naturally led conspiracy theorists to specte on possibilities like weather weapons.


    Of course, for high-ranking officials in governments that were already aware of the existence of Transcendents, they were more inclined to believe that this was caused by a particrly powerful Transcendent.


    It was just that the power disyed by this Transcendent clearly exceeded the estimations of any country. After all, neither summoning a strong typhoon nor neutralizing it were things that ordinary Transcendents could achieve—such feats were beyond even what Demigods could do.


    As a result, all the countries subsequently sent inquiries to Japan in unison. After all, Japan was currently home to someone capable of summoning multiple Demigods at will, making such actions a usible possibility.


    However, faced with the inquiries from various nations, the Japanese Imperial Family and Government—having already received Chen Yu''s response and the Oracle of Amaterasu from Gao Tianyuan—were unusually tight-lipped this time. Despite threats and bribes, they revealed nothing, merely iming ignorance.


    Since the two major power brokers behind the United States—the Freemasons and Skull and Bones—had purchased Life from Chen Yu and were in a honeymoon period with him, the United States did not press further after the Japanese government imed ignorance.


    Having lost the support of its "parent nation" the United States, Russia—currently also in a honeymoon phase with Chen Yu because of the Ship-girls matter—was deeply interested in the situation but refrained from further inquiries as well.


    Although the Celestial Empire had no direct connections, they also reached out to Chen Yu through Monk Xinyuan. After receiving Chen Yu''s pre-prepared response, they lost interest in the matter.


    After all, Japan, sitting to the east of the Celestial Empire, often served as a buffer, as typhoons frequently skirted China''s coastal areas and hit Japan instead.


    So, in a sense, Japan having the ability to fend off typhoons was actually beneficial to the Celestial Empire.


    With the United States, China, and Russia no longer pursuing the issue, other nations, although still curious,cked the leverage topel Japan toe clean.


    In the end, after a few months of uproar, the matter quietly faded away.


    During this time, Chen Yu, because of the world consciousness''s reaction to his earlier plundering of storm rules, refrained from taking any further action. His entire n was put on pause—he needed to wait until the world consciousness calmed back down before he could proceed further.


    If he were to provoke the world consciousness again during its active stage, it could lead to a violent bacsh. At that point, what Chen Yu and his allies might have to face would not be mere earthquakes or floods caused by Sanzu River Water; the world itself would stop at nothing to annihte anyone disturbing its fundamental rules.


    Even if they weren''t killed by the bacsh, being rejected or even ostracized by the entire world was not a consequence anyone would find eptable.


    This was precisely what Chen Yu needed to avoid at all costs.


    Thus, in these past months, Chen Yu focused on going to work every day without making any other moves. The only thing that truly concerned him was the child growing in Jounouchi Hiromi''s belly.


    As the months passed, Jounouchi Hiromi''s due date drew closer, and this child was about to enter the world.

    "Mom, I''ve already told you there''s no need for you toe. Why in the world did you insist on flying over from home? You''re already in your fifties! If something happens, am I supposed to take care of you or the baby?" At the airport entrance, Chen Yu looked at his parents, who had just arrived on a flight, and couldn''t help butin with a wry smile.


    "What, are you disliking your old mom now? Can''t Ie to see my grandson being born? This is such a huge deal—do you, you brat, even know how to take care of a baby?" Chen Yu''s mother shot him a dissatisfied nce and couldn''t stop herself from scolding him. "Look at you—you''ve been a handful since you were a kid! How can I feel at ease leaving my grandson''s birth in your hands? You don''t exactly inspire confidence!"


    Despite being someone who could make the world tremble, Chen Yu could only endure his mom''s lecture quietly. He cast a pleading look at his father, hoping for help.


    Because Chen Yu had previously declined his mom''s offer toe to Japan to take care of Hiromi, she had been holding a grudge for some time. So, upon learning that Jounouchi Hiromi''s due date was near, she had made arrangements through Chen Yu''s third aunt to handle all the paperwork foring to Japan without consulting him. It wasn''t until they were about to board the ne that she notified Chen Yu,pletely catching him off guard.


    This forced Chen Yu to rearrange his work ns for the day and rush to the airport to pick them up, which inevitably left him a little bit grumbly.


    Fortunately, at this moment, Chen Yu''s father intervened and said to his wife, "Don''t scold the kid out here on the street. Let''s grab our luggage and go. Ah-Yu, where did you park the car?"


    "Just outside—I''ll grab the luggage." With that, Chen Yu quickly took over his parents'' suitcases and led them out of the airport.


    Since he was picking people up, Chen Yu naturally didn''t use the luxury car Hiromi had gifted him but instead opted for the hospital-provided official vehicle.


    After loading the luggage into the trunk and getting into the car, Chen Yu''s father asked him, "When''s Hiromi''s due date? How''s everything going right now? This is a huge deal—your wife giving birth, and you didn''t even call to let us know!"


    Faced with his dad''s rebuke, Chen Yu could only meekly ept it. He quickly replied, "The due date is this week. Hiromi''s been doing great—both her condition and spirits are excellent. I''ve already secured a spot at the hospital, and the best obstetrician there will be delivering the baby. Everything''s fine."


    "That''s a relief. I was just worried that you two mightck experience as first-time parents." Hearing this, Chen Yu''s mom seemed much more at ease. She even seemed less irritated with him and asked with concern, "Is it a boy or a girl? Have you picked a name yet?"


    "Mom, hospitals aren''t allowed to reveal the baby''s gender!" Chen Yu said with a wry smile. He already knew it was a girl, but he couldn''t tell his mom directly. Instead, he had to feign ignorance and respond, "If it''s a boy, we''ll call him Bingyi. If it''s a girl, we''ll name her Yixi."
