237: Chapter 238 The Wasteland Empress is finally pregnant! A medical miracle!

Wasteland, Dawn City.

The palace gates were violently pushed open, and Grand Commander Lei Zhen rushed in, storming with urgency.

This usually decisive and ruthless The President looked like a reckless youth at this moment, not even bothering about the sparks his combat boots struck against the alloy floor.

"Re... Report!"

Grand Commander Lei Zhen shouted at the top of his lungs, not even pausing to salute, "Your Majesty! Great news! Tremendous news!"

Jiang Wanqiu was sitting on her throne, idly playing with the braised pork can that the Father God had given her (even though it was empty). Hearing this, she looked up slightly, a trace of impatience flashing in her red eyes.

"What is worth making such a fuss about?"

"Did those mechanical intelligences come to raid us again?"

"No!"

Grand Commander Lei Zhen was so excited his face and neck turned red, "It's the imperial physician! Just now, the imperial physician performed a physical examination on you and discovered... discovered that there is a new sign of life inside your body!"

The can in Jiang Wanqiu's hand dropped to the floor with a clatter.

She sat stiffly on the throne, as if completely frozen by some invisible law. A new sign of life? In this Wasteland where even normal cockroaches are nearly extinct, where could a new sign of life come from?

"What did you say?"

Her voice trembled, her red eyes filled with disbelief, "Explain yourself clearly!"

"The imperial physician said it! It's a Divine Child!"

Grand Commander Lei Zhen was dancing around, so excited he was about to roll on the ground, "It's the Father God's bloodline! You are pregnant with the Father God's child!"

This roar was more shocking than a nuclear explosion.

The entire Dawn City erupted at this moment.

Those Wasteland survivors who lived on the edge of a knife every day and felt their lives were hopeless, upon hearing the news of the "Divine Child's" arrival, forgot their fear and their hunger.

They walked out of their shelters and bunkers, stepping onto the gray, gloomy square.

I do not know who started it, but everyone knelt down, facing the direction of the palace, and began a kowtowing ceremony that lasted for half an hour.

They cried, they laughed, and they even began to take out their hidden expired canned food as offerings.

This was a pure carnival of faith that transcended material scarcity.

Meanwhile, on Earth, 380,000 kilometers away, inside Villa No. 1.

Jiang Chen had his feet propped up on the table, flipping through a report on "How to Efficiently Utilize Extraterrestrial Minerals."

Suddenly, his phone emitted that long-lost, urgent, and intense vibration, as if it were about to burn up.

[Ding!] [Glad tidings from the plane!] [The system has detected a violent mutation in the genetic chain of the "Divinely Favored One" Jiang Wanqiu, and has confirmed that the host's legacy genes have successfully completed fertilization with this individual.] [Congratulations, Host, you... are going to be a father.]

The coffee cup in Jiang Chen's hand hit the table with a "bang," cracking the surface.

He stared at the gilded characters on the screen, his mind blank. A father?

On this side, Academician Chen Shuyin is already carrying one, and on that side, Jiang Wanqiu is pregnant too? Is this efficiency a bit too ridiculous?

"This is too..." Jiang Chen's mouth twitched, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, "Is inter-dimensional technology already this advanced? Can a child even be conceived through a 'data stream' across a dimensional wall?"

This is just too unscientific!

He took a deep breath, just about to tell Academician Chen Shuyin, who was studying engines in the laboratory next door, this shocking news, but before he could speak, the system's voice rang in his mind again.

This time, there was no cheerful sense of celebration; instead, it was replaced by an extremely cold, warning-filled mechanical voice:

[Warning! Detected that cross-dimensional conception has triggered a special chain reaction in the host's body.] [Because Jiang Wanqiu has successfully conceived a divine offspring possessing the host's genes, the host's body is undergoing a certain "assimilation" and "feedback" from the laws of the plane.] [Host, your life level is undergoing a certain irreversible... evolution.]

The phone in Jiang Chen's hand nearly slipped and fell to the floor. Evolution?

He looked down at his palm, where a faint golden light was shimmering beneath his skin, and the fatigue from staying up late vanished in an instant.

This feeling... is too eerie.

Jiang Chen frowned tightly; he could feel his cells seemingly devouring the surrounding air molecules greedily, then converting them into a type of energy more advanced and profound than nuclear energy. What on earth is going on?

"System, don't play riddles with me!" Jiang Chen questioned coldly in his mind, "What do you mean by life level evolution? What kind of thing is this child, and why does it affect my body?"

[System Prompt:] [Because this offspring possesses a pure 'Divine Bloodline' and was formed by the direct intervention of the host body at the plane connection point.] [This has led to...]

The system's cold, mechanical voice surprisingly carried a trace of playfulness: [As the father, because of this 'cross-dimensional inheritance,' the genes in your body... seem to have no intention of continuing to be an ordinary person.]

Jiang Chen had not yet understood the meaning of this sentence. The entire villa suddenly emitted a muffled sound.

His feet, which were wearing slippers as always, suddenly felt the ground vibrate. No. It wasn't the ground vibrating. He was growing larger!

His high-end custom suit was stretched at the seams in an instant, as if being inflated. His line of sight was rising, and the distance to the ceiling was getting closer and closer.

That feeling was as if human cells had been collectively activated in an instant, frantically proliferating exponentially by absorbing energy from the air.

"I... I am turning into a giant?!"

Jiang Chen looked at his arms, which were rapidly thickening and becoming muscular, with a bewildered expression. This is too sudden, right? It's just being a father; why do I have to evolve as well?

Before he could fully react, the surging power that almost threatened to burst his body swept through him like a tidal wave.

That sensation made him feel that everything in the world had become so small. It seemed that with just a gentle lift of his hand, he could crush this entire villa.

And within that golden halo, his gaze seemed to penetrate the walls of the villa, penetrate the layers of soil on the surface, and lock directly onto that terrifying ruin still on the Far Side of the Moon, which was slowly awakening.

An extremely ancient and hostile signal was being released from that ruin towards him.

"I am not taking the blame for this..." Jiang Chen muttered to himself, looking at his glowing fist, "I originally just wanted to be a quiet tycoon."

"But you aliens insist on forcing me... to awaken my divinity ahead of schedule?"

He took a deep breath, feeling the terrifying, overflowing power, and gave a complex, bitter smile at the Wasteland Empress on the other end of the phone who was still chattering away, demanding "a title":

"It seems that the waters behind this so-called 'miracle' are deeper than I thought."
