Many descendants

……

Having grown accustomed to being waited on hand and foot, Su Yan found it quite difficult to adjust to suddenly being alone, cooking and eating for herself.

"It's easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality," Su Yan said, munching on a dry piece of jerky.

Xiao Mei, [Host, you need to be strong. This pregnancy is probably going to be yours.]

【Huh? What does it mean that it's in my hands?】

It's been ten days, and Zhu Sanlang still hasn't returned. He might never come back. The child has been born, but there's no father to raise him.

【Then let Fal raise them. Anyway, raising two Saint-level babies is the same as raising three, so let's raise all three at once. He has enough resources to raise them.】

Why didn't you give me Ziqi?

[I will give him a Saint-level offspring in the future, and he can raise his own.] Once her talent reaches the Saint-level, even if her child is a rat, he will still be a Saint-level being.

With a Saint-level offspring, that continent should also evolve into a Saint Beast-level continent.

No matter how far those children grow up, let's build a big house first.

[The host had already planned everything. Once this child is born, it's possible to reach the Saint rank.]

[Yes. My wish to be reborn on Earth is one step closer.]

[Host, don't you already know that being reborn on Earth and returning to your mother's embrace is not your original wish? Why do you still want to go back?]

Because this wish was so good, I decided to actually fulfill it.

[Does the host want to return to post-apocalyptic Earth?]

[Apocalypse? Earth has had dark periods; it can't really be the end of the world.]

[Does the host still remember Qin Mo, whom you resurrected?]

Su Yan didn't really want to think about him. [Why?]

He died because he gave up his spot in the Ark's migration plan to a little girl. Earth collapsed, and he perished with it. Later, he was resurrected and entered another star system with the Ark, a system suitable for human habitation.

[...] Although she hated him, she had to admit that he was definitely the most powerful politician she had ever met, a king at the poker table.

She witnessed firsthand how he, in his early twenties, transformed the most chaotic urban area into an economic hub, and ultimately gained a decisive vote among world leaders.

Don't mention him to me.

[Yes, host. 】

After eating and drinking her fill, Su Yan looked up at the sky. "I can't see the hidden world you mentioned underground."

[You need to go through the teleportation array. Xiao Mei has seen Zhu Sanlang go there a few times. Host, you can go through the teleportation array first, and Xiao Mei will take you there.]

Haha, he can't keep an eye on you even when he's behind my back.

Upon entering the teleportation array, a white light flashed before Su Yan's eyes, and she arrived at a dark, damp, and gloomy place.

【Where is this? 】

[The cemetery. The island's former inhabitants are all buried here. Each island owner took with them a large quantity of rare and precious materials, as well as live birds and animals.]

That's a bit unfair. Why have so many animals buried with the dead, especially living creatures? Do they think they can enjoy them after death?

Su Yan raised her hand and released a fireball, illuminating the entire tomb chamber.

A huge dragon-headed turtle-shaped statue came into clear view.

What is this?

[The ancient mythical beast, the dragon turtle, carries a merit tablet on its back, bearing the names of these island lords.]

"Ha, I'd like to see what kind of important figures they are."

She leaned closer to read the words on it.

At first glance, she didn't recognize it, but the system quickly translated it for her.

[The first place belongs to Qing, born in the primordial era, died in the ancient times, and now rests in eternal slumber on Floating World Island. Those destined to be here in later generations may enter my resting place after bowing three times and kowtowing nine times, and choose any three treasures. Those destined to obtain my personal heirloom will become my personal disciple… Xiao Mei, do you know this Qing?]

Judging from his birth and death dates, he should have been an ancient deity. Since deities typically have their own shrines and temples, this might just be a cenotaph; his true tomb should be in his own shrine.

I think it's quite the opposite; this might be his real tomb, and the shrine there is just a cenotaph. Let's go check out this great immortal's tomb first.

Su Yan suddenly felt the mindset of a tomb raider, a little excited, a little fearful of the unknown, and her heart was racing.

[Host, it's just one grave, it shouldn't be like this. Calm down.] Xiao Mei reminded Su Yan that this could be bad for the fetus.

I just watched a grave-digging movie a couple of days ago. Now, thinking back to the terrifying scenes, combined with my current situation, it's just...unbelievable.

[...I've said it before, don't watch those kinds of movies, listen to more classical music instead.]

Hurry, help me find it, that's Qing's.

It's right at your feet.

【Huh?】 Su Yan looked at her feet, but there was nothing there.

[The other graves have all been visited to some extent, but this one is well hidden and has not yet been opened. Host, try bowing and kowtowing three times.]

Is it possible that it wasn't that the other island lords couldn't be found, but rather that they were unwilling to kowtow to him?

What the host said is also possible.

Su Yan didn't have that much pride. Besides, as a descendant who was countless generations behind, she could easily kowtow to a senior who was countless generations older, let alone three bows, nine kowtows, forty-nine bows, or even eighty-one kowtows.

Su Yan knelt down with a 'plop'!

Xiao Mei immediately warned: [Host!]

Su Yan quickly reassured her: "Sincerity is key; sincerity moves mountains."

Then he started kowtowing...

Su Yan initially kowtowed three times and then nine times, but there was no response, so she continued kowtowing.

After bowing eighty-one times and kowtowing two hundred and forty-three times, the ground suddenly cracked open with a loud rumble!

It seems that the current three bows and nine kowtows are twenty-seven times different from those of that time!

A staircase leading underground appeared.

There's also a fragrance that, just by smelling it, can refresh the mind and brighten the eyes.

[Host, there's treasure underground.]

【Absolutely! I'm dizzy from all the kowtowing.】

Su Yan followed the downward passage, with the fireball that provided illumination always by her side.

After she entered, the ground rumbled again, and the crack closed.

Shortly after Su Yan entered the tomb, the teleportation array lit up again.

Zhu Sanlang came out from inside, still injured, and called out, "Yan Yan—I'm back!"

……

Su Yan naturally couldn't hear his shouts.

She is now staring blankly at the golden lake in front of her.

"Xiaomei, I know this must be good stuff, even without you telling me."

[Yes, host, this is divine blood.]

【……Blood?】

[Host, drink a couple of sips quickly; it's good for the fetus. Also, you can soak Manman in the divine liquid to cleanse her essence and marrow; it has many benefits.]

【That's great! I'll call all the other kids over so we can all soak together.】

[The others won't work, only Little Eight hasn't hatched yet, so it can be summoned. However, you can send the divine liquid in portions to the other offspring; I'll do it for free, without charging the host's points.]

【Alright, let's summon Little Eight.】Even unhatched babies have this benefit.

Ziqi stroked his precious son. Although he hadn't hatched yet, it didn't diminish his love for him at all, and it only grew stronger with each passing day.

Just as I was touching him, my son was gone!
