Many descendants

The edge of the void.

A gigantic golden-winged roc, almost obscuring the sun, was attacking a crocodile-like beast on the ground.

The crocodile had a mouthful of fangs, as if it could collapse mountains and sever rivers, and its body was covered in a bloodthirsty and ferocious aura, with flames raging around it.

There were many onlookers around who had used sleight of hand to obscure their own features, watching the battle intently.

Su Yan also concealed her and Fal's appearances.

They were standing on a huge rock.

Su Yan looked up at the roc; it was Yu Hao. Although she had never seen his beast form, his aura was all too familiar.

Seeing the complicated look in Su Yan's eyes as she gazed at the Kunpeng, and considering the unborn child in her womb, Far asked, "Is he the father beast of Twenty-One?"

The roc stirs up clouds and mist, and thunder and rain, mixed with streaks of silver lightning, pour down like a torrential downpour.

The flames on the ancient crocodile's body subsided considerably in an instant.

Su Yan nodded, "It's him. But in this battle of gods, a divine king has already played his trump card in the very first round. What kind of battles will follow?"

"Does Yan Yan know what happened?" Far asked in surprise.

Su Yan nodded, "The God Realm and the Asura Realm are mutually restrictive, preventing them from setting foot in the lower realms, namely the realms of mortal beasts, spirit beasts, and humans. This causes many divine cultivators in the lower realms to be unable to ascend to godhood."

The new gods and the ancient gods, in pursuit of new divine blood, jointly petitioned the Supreme Being of Heaven for a divine war. Heaven agreed to a twenty-round contest to determine the winner, who would then be freed from their shackles.

In the first battle, Yu Hao was eliminated; it seems the divine realm has won.

Suddenly, someone appeared beside Su Yan.

Because the illusion concealed her appearance, Su Yan couldn't immediately recognize the other person. However, since Xiao Mei hadn't issued a warning, there shouldn't be any danger.

"Yan Yan," the other person said, revealing Su Yan's name.

Su Yan suddenly realized, and then smiled, "Sanlang."

"Yes, I came by following the mark." Zhu Sanlang dispelled the illusion, revealing his handsome and gentle face.

Su Yan hugged him and tiptoed to kiss his lips.

Zhu Sanlang's face flushed slightly.

Far immediately forgot about watching the battle—

"...Yan Yan!"

He's right here in front of me!

Su Yan smiled somewhat shyly, then introduced Zhu Sanlang to Fa'er, "He is the father beast of Little Twelve, and he helped me deliver Little Ninth and Little Ten. He also delivered Little Eleven."

"What?" Far's expression immediately improved, and he bowed to Zhu Sanlang. "I won't thank you for your great kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Su Yan ate many rare and precious herbs while carrying Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi, all provided by Zhu Sanlang, who also helped deliver the babies. Therefore, Fa'er acknowledged this debt of gratitude for the birth and upbringing.

"How are Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi doing now?" Zhu Sanlang had been worried about these two little angels.

Far pulled Su Yan behind him, took out a group photo of the children from his spatial ring, and handed it to Zhu Sanlang, "Look."

"Oh?" Zhu Sanlang didn't have any photos of the children together, so he was quite surprised when he received the photos. He then looked at the children in the photos one by one, including his son who had ascended to the realm of gods.

"Could I have this?" Zhu Sanlang asked Fal with hopeful eyes.

Far nodded, "Okay, I have a few more of your son's photos here..."

Su Yan felt someone was watching her, but Fa'er and Zhu Sanlang were looking at the children's photos and not at her.

Moreover, she possesses a magic talisman given to her by Qing Linghuan, which even the gods cannot see through.

"Sanlang, you said you found me through the mark?" Su Yan's hands trembled slightly, and she dared not look at the huge roc in the sky.

Zhu Sanlang: "Hmm. I can smell your scent when we're close."

Far also realized something and immediately pulled Su Yan, "Let's go."

"Too late!" Su Yan smiled bitterly.

Her body was now completely immobile! In an instant, time stood still across the entire edge of the star system!

【Xiao Mei?】

[Host, this time restriction only prevents you from leaving; it does not harm you. Furthermore, the parent beast of your offspring has an obligation to raise them.]

【I don't need Yu Hao!】

"No, host, you need it!" Xiao Mei affirmed. "The fetus cannot rely solely on the roots of the World Tree to grow; it needs more rare and precious materials."

I can find it myself.

[One reason why the ancient divine beast race struggles to reproduce is the scarcity, or rather, the difficulty in obtaining, of the rare and precious materials needed for their offspring's growth. For example, this ancient crocodile before us possesses a divine beast core that can nourish the host's unborn child. Can the host kill it?]

[...] She cannot.

[Perhaps Xiaomei could intervene, but the required data energy would need to be exchanged for a large amount of childbirth points. The host currently has some points, but how many times can that be used?]

I can eat more of the divine fruits.

[Does the host remember what your offspring ate most before you conceived?]

【……Meat. 】

[That's right. Xiao Fengning and Xiao Miqi were barely born after the host consumed all the rare and precious herbs accumulated over ten thousand years, and all the treasures plundered from countless worlds. And you only ate a few bites of meat with this baby?]

Even the fourteenth and fifteenth kids didn't have this much trouble.

[Qing Linghuan went out to hunt for food, killing mostly divine beasts. The teleportation portal was opened specifically to kill those divine beasts and obtain their divine pills.]

I...I don't know either.

[When Qing Linghuan learned that you were pregnant with the offspring of the Nine Heavens Kunpeng, he remembered the strange-tasting porridge he cooked for you in the Ice and Fire World, which was made with divine beast pills.]

Why didn't you say so before?

Xiao Mei assumed the host knew.

【I really...don't know!】 Su Yan watched as Yu Hao transformed into human form and walked towards him. The ancient crocodile behind him remained motionless.

Yu Hao walked up to Su Yan, his face beaming with joy. "Yan Yan, I've found you!"
