Deducing Godhood from the Fetal Stage

Chapter 53 Urgency

Cheng Feng squatted down beside Zhang Fan's body, picked up the metal button that had been extracted from the flesh and blood and was deformed from the heat with tweezers, and put it into the evidence bag.

"This button is made of the same material as the one we found in Wang Qian's dormitory. It's confirmed to be the murderer in the campus witchcraft murder case."

He stood up, dusted off his hands, and looked at Jiang Rang, who had been standing silently in the center of the living room.

"Did you sense anything else?"

Jiang Rang withdrew his gaze from the broken window in the living room, where the city lights outside flickered in his eyes.

"no."

Jiang Rang lied.

His hand, tucked into his pocket, unconsciously rubbed against a small, cold object.

That was half a charred flower-shaped button that he had just found on the edge of the ashes.

This doesn't belong to Zhang Fan.

He knows whose it is.

Jiang lowered his eyes, clutching the cold spot between his fingertips into his palm. There was no explanation, nor was he handed it over.

"Alright."

Cheng Feng didn't mind, let out a long sigh of relief, and showed the first genuine smile he hadn't had in days.

"Anyway, that bastard has finally been brought to justice. Aksero's claws have been chopped off, and the rest of the investigation will proceed according to procedure."

The agents from the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs have arrived.

Cheng Feng turned around and directed his colleagues who arrived later to handle the scene.

Jiang Rang walked out of the residential building, which reeked of blood and ashes. The cool night wind carried away the faint smell of burning flesh clinging to him.

He opened his palm.

The half-button lay quietly in my palm, its wood grain gleaming warmly under the streetlight. On the back of the button was engraved a seal character.

【玖】

He reached into his pocket and pulled out another embroidered button, combining the two buttons into one. There, too, was an engraved seal character.

【let】.

……

Jiang Yun awoke from a deep exhaustion, her first feeling being one of fullness. A sense of saturation, filling her bones, flesh, and even the depths of her consciousness.

He carefully assessed his own condition.

The fetus was crystal clear, with a faint, warm golden luster, and its bones were dense.

[Embryo: The Golden Embryo of Creation]

[Next Stage: Primordial Purple Embryo (Final Stage)]

[Soul: ???]

[Special trait: Abundant Daoist heart, intricate and logical connections, ???]

Dao Hui: [191 (Rapidly growing)]

The feedback from the Divine Calculation and Heavenly Evolution clearly emerged.

Dao Hui has increased so much in one go. The difference between the Yunxiu Spirit Embryo and the Zaohua Golden Embryo is huge. Sure enough, the most satisfying thing is the essential leap in one's own life level.

The lotus flower seemed to have a fuller life force, its pink, blue, and gold petals swirling as if carrying a rhythm of endless life.

The entry has been generated, so it seems it's not far from being finalized. Is it because the "tribute" of Aksero was severed and those painful deeds were purified?

Meanwhile, the feedback on computing power is also very encouraging.

Faced with Aksero's conspiracy, you chose "If you hear the Dao in the morning, you will die tonight," successfully interrupting Aksero's welcoming ceremony by utilizing the legacy of the Divine Lord Xuanjing.

[Evaluation: Decisive Decision]

[Computing power: +12]

[Computing power surplus: 50]

He peered outwards through the bond between mother and child, and was immediately taken aback to find that his mother's belly was visibly large, looking like that of a normal pregnant woman in her eighth or ninth month.

He recognized the two women standing next to him; they were Wei Yun and Ling Wanshu.

"Grandma, you're awake?"

A gentle and intellectual voice rang in my ears, and then a consciousness emerged from the depths of my heart—my mother had woken up.

Ling Jiu opened her eyes groggily, her gaze focusing as she gradually saw Ling Wanshu wearing a white lab coat.

"Wan Shu? What brings you here..." Ling Jiu tried to sit up, but as soon as she used her elbows, she felt a heavy weight on her abdomen.

She instinctively looked down and froze.

The belly that was originally just slightly protruding and could be concealed by loose clothing has now swelled up like an inflating balloon!

The thin pajamas were stretched into a distinct arc, and the shape of her navel was even visible.

"My stomach!"

Ling Jiu's voice sounded slightly panicked.

"Don't panic." Ling Wanshu put down the instrument, stood up and helped her sit up slowly. Her fingers seemingly casually touched her wrist pulse, and a cool and gentle breath entered.

A few seconds later, Ling Wanshu withdrew her hand, a hint of surprise flashing in her cool eyes.

"The fetus is developing extremely rapidly, with its life energy level skyrocketing. At this rate and energy fluctuation..."

She did a quick calculation and gave a clear deadline.

"The optimal time for birth will be reached in about five days."

Five days?!

Ling Jiu was completely stunned. "How could it be so fast? Didn't you say it would take at least two or three months?"

"Plans can't keep up with changes."

Ling Wanshu was also helpless, "I detected a strong reaction from your body last night. Deacon Wei told me about what happened yesterday..."

Ling Jiu opened her mouth, and some blurry fragments flashed through her mind. It seemed that she had severed a wisp of a divine projection yesterday.

"That's a good thing."

Ling Wanshu comforted her, saying, "Yesterday you actually took the initiative to sever a wisp of external divine projection, and last night the fetus actively intercepted and purified a merit intended as an offering, resulting in a significant completion of its own destiny and karma."

"Your spiritual level will also benefit and rise. Now, the fetus's development has entered its final stage."

Her gaze fell on Ling Jiu's protruding belly.

"Now, only one last step is needed to complete the child's destiny, but it's also very urgent. He will be born in five days at most."

"For this to happen, you need the essence and blood of both parents as a guide to receive the complete family bloodline inheritance in order to be born successfully and to unleash its full potential."

"If the father's bloodline is missing, the fetus cannot be registered in the family register and can only be considered an illegitimate child born to a mistress, which will greatly diminish its resources, status, and future. Moreover..."

Ling Wanshu looked directly into Ling Jiu's eyes, her voice soft yet clear: "At the current rate of fetal growth, your body's supply can no longer keep up. If the bloodline inheritance cannot be completed within five days, forcibly remaining in the mother's body will only damage its foundation."

Ling Jiu's face gradually paled.

Five days.

A drop of blood from the father. Family legacy.

She looked down at her high, swollen belly. There, a miracle was brewing, a baby that would give her courage and direction again.

She couldn't let him suffer any injustice or loss because of her cowardice and hesitation.

"I see."

Ling Jiu carried a do-or-die determination.

She picked up her phone from the bedside table, her fingertips hovering over the cold screen for a few seconds before tapping on that familiar name, one she hadn't contacted in a long time.

Edit information. Delete. Edit again.

After repeating this several times, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and pressed send.

I'm pregnant, with yours.

The message has been delivered.

A few seconds, a dozen seconds, a minute... Time flowed in silence, each second seemingly stretched out.

Ling Jiu stared intently at the screen, her heart pounding wildly in her chest, as if it would shatter her ribs.

Finally, the screen lit up.

Jiang Rang's reply was concise and to the point, sounding like a question yet also like he was simply hoping for an explanation.

We only slept together once, two years ago. How did this happen, and now they're trying to scam me? Where's Wang Cheng?

She knew he would be suspicious and find it hard to accept, but when those words actually appeared before her eyes, she still panicked.

How should I say that I am a son of God?

Yes, that's what I'll say.

She stubbornly replied again:

【real. 】

No reply, I'm not waiting anymore.

Ling Jiu suddenly threw off the covers and got out of bed. She grabbed a large coat and wrapped it around herself, barely covering her figure. She hurriedly said to Ling Wanshu, "I'm going out for a bit," and then, supporting her waist, she staggered out of the room.

"My little aunt!"

Ling Wanshu called out behind her, frowning slightly. Wei Yun, standing beside her, nodded and followed.

This was a VIP ward in the hospital. Ling Jiu hurried towards the elevator, and when the elevator doors opened, she paused for a moment.

Jiang Rang was actually in the elevator, with a young pregnant woman next to him.

The moment the girl saw her, she screamed "Ah!" and covered her face.

Jiang Rang instinctively shielded the girl behind him, then looked away from his phone and at Ling Jiu and her large pregnant belly.

I was completely stunned.
