“I’m going to be a father?” Xue Ying felt slightly dazed. The type of feeling he was experiencing was truly mystical; he had lived for many years and experienced so much, but finding out that he would become a father still left him in a state of vertigo. He wasn’t even able to restrain the ecstasy filling his heart. He looked at Jing Qiu and said, “We’ve tried for so many years, and we’ve finally succeeded. I had even begun considering that, as my strength gets higher, it would become even less probably that we would eventually have offspring. But the heavens are truly favoring me. They truly have eyes.”

Jing Qiu smiled back sweetly; she had also been waiting for this moment for too long. Back then, when Xue Ying was still suffering from the hex poison, it simply couldn’t be helped since his body’s every particle had been permeated by the poison. It was only normal that he couldn’t have a child. But after Xue Ying got rid of the poison, the two of them, husband and wife, had always been looking forward to having their own child. If one were to also count the time spent under time acceleration within Crimson Rock Mountain, it had been more than a thousand years already.

It truly was difficult! However, once a nice surprise finally arrived, it was actually followed by another.

“Jing Qiu, quickly take to resting. From now and until the children are born, you should not spend energy on studying spells,” Xue Ying hurriedly continued.

“Alright, alright. I understand,” Jing Qiu replied with a beaming smile.

Xue Ying began focusing a lot of his effort on his yet-to-be-born children, to the point that he even temporarily slowed down his speed of cultivation and specifically sought out Crimson Rock and his two World Deity senior disciples to ask them about treasures that pregnant women could take that would be helpful for his unborn offspring.

Ge Bai, He Fei Yun, Xi Wei, Crimson Rock, and all the rest were happy and amazed at the same time, and they all went over to congratulate Xue Ying. After all, the stronger one was, the more difficult it would be to leave a heir behind.

It must be stated that, after Xue Ying’s true body became a World Deity, he also proceeded to cultivate it to the fourth layer of the Time Immemorial Body. If even before Xue Ying had found it very difficult to have children, now that his body had continued to improve, it was only normal that a bloodline as strong as that would lower the probability even further. Unexpectedly, however, he had still succeeded. No matter how low the chances were, they still existed. There had even been powerful existences throughout history who could leave behind heirs.

Those two little rascals will be quite formidable. With my Time Immemorial Body now at the fourth layer, just how formidable will their bloodline be once they are born? Xue Ying inwardly thought as he accompanied his wife, Jing Qiu, whose belly was gradually growing. Only he and Crimson Rock knew that he had become a World Deity and that his cultivation of the Time Immemorial Body had reached the fourth layer.

After close to ten months of pregnancy.

On a certain day, Jing Qiu was somewhere inside a building with all doors and windows closed.

Xue Ying was downstairs, sitting on a chair to the side of the room. He was accompanied by his younger brother, Qing Shi.

“Bro, look at you being so anxious. Is this really the great emperor Dong Bo that I’m looking at?” Qing Shi teased him from aside.

“Ai, I can’t settle my heart. I’ve been waiting to have a child for almost a thousand years.” Xue Ying glanced at his little brother. “How could I be like you? Those younger generations of our Dong Bo family have long since passed ten thousand in numbers, but they’re all from your side of the family.”

Qing Shi replied, “With my sons giving birth to my grandsons, them giving birth to my great grandsons, with these endless generations growing larger as time goes on, of course my side of the family would be larger.”

Xue Ying only smiled in response.

His vision darted all around the room as he silently waited. With his wife being a Demigod mage, having a child would prove effortless.

Wa, wa~

Wa, wa, wa~

Two crying voices began to sound one after another, rising and falling in succession as if they were competing on which could be louder.

Xue Ying suddenly got up. “They’re born.”

Very soon, Jing Qiu came out of the room, holding up a well bundled-up child in each hand.

Shua, shua.

Xue Ying and Qing Shi both rushed to the hallway upstairs.

“Let me see them.” Xue Ying reached his hands out.

“Be careful.” Jing Qiu passed over the two children.

“Sister-in-law, there’s no need to worry. This big brother of mine is a Realm Lord! He could hold these two children up without even using his hands.” The nearby Qing Shi could not help but tease when he saw the couple act so nervous.

“You can shut up,” Xue Ying turned his head to berate his brother. He then embraced his two children while carefully examining them.

The two of them slowly opened their eyes, looking muddle-headed at the world all around, and simultaneously vegan crying at the top of their lungs.

In their eyes, everything the world contained was new and odd; be it the sky, the house, or these few adults nearby—they had no knowledge of any of them. After all, despite their innate bloodlines being extraordinary or the auras they emitted also being very much outside the norm, they still had to undergo a growth process. They had just now been born and were still like a sheet of white paper: incomparably simple.
