430: Chapter 430 The System Bursts into Golden Light! The Primordial Divine Embryo in Shenxi's Womb

As dawn broke, the first ray of soft golden sunlight pierced through the thin clouds of the Eastern Barrens.

The sunlight filtered through the massive crystal window of the main palace's bedchamber—engraved with Spirit Gathering Array patterns—slanting across the spacious room and casting a faint, warm glow over the lingering scenes of spring passion.

On the white jade dragon bed, which was several zhang wide, the crimson Tianshan Snow Silkworm brocade quilt was in utter disarray.

The snow-white divine robe that symbolized the majesty of the heavens had long since been reduced to unrecognizable scraps of cloth, lying quietly at the foot of the bed.

Xu Chen rested his head on one arm, leaning comfortably against the soft gold cushions at the head of the bed.

After a whole night of high-intensity Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Art operation, not only did he not feel the slightest bit of fatigue, but the blood and Qi within his body surged incessantly like a vast sea of stars.

His cultivation at the Peak of the Emperor Realm had become increasingly unfathomable after absorbing the pure Supreme Origin of the Heavens.

The four Law chains condensed from Hongmeng Creation Qi had already been withdrawn into his body before dawn.

Beside Xu Chen, Shen Xi lay quietly on her side.

Her long silver hair, once dazzling but now slightly disheveled, was mostly spread across the red brocade quilt, with a small portion veiling her defenseless, peerless face.

Having lost the support of the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions Dao Heart, the divine aura of being high above and inviolable that once surrounded her had completely dissipated.

Her snow-white skin was covered with conspicuous red marks, and a trace of undried tear stains still remained at the corners of her eyes.

At this moment, she was no longer the Heavenly Arbiter who looked down upon all living beings and brought down world-ending lightning punishments; she was merely a fragile woman who had been completely conquered by Xu Chen on this bed.

Just as Xu Chen was admiring this top-tier trophy of his...

[Ding!]

Deep in his mind, the System's silent interface, which had been quiet all night, suddenly erupted with a burst of blinding, pure golden light!

The intensity of this golden light far exceeded any previous notification of a heroine's pregnancy, flashing wildly in Xu Chen's Sea of Consciousness like a rising sun.

[Detected successful pregnancy of a target meeting Absolute Standards!]

[Target Identity: Goddess of the Heavens / Incarnation of the Heavenly Dao.]

[Life Being Nurtured: Primordial Divine Fetus (Contains the purest Origin of the Heavens' Great Dao and the Qi of Primordial Creation's Origin; a forbidden life form that transcends the limitations of eras).]

[Congratulations to the host for completing cross-dimensional reproduction! Bestowing epic-level rewards!]

[Reward 1: Deep Baptism of Heavenly Luck (The host will be completely immune to any rejection or suppression by the rules of the Heavenly Dao; immune to all Laws and indestructible through all tribulations).]

[Reward 2: Consolidation of Emperor Realm Foundation (Laying an absolutely perfect Foundation for breaking through to the unknown Realm beyond the Emperor Realm).]

Accompanying the rapid scrolling of the System interface, a warm and grand golden current appeared out of thin air within Xu Chen's limbs and bones.

This was not ordinary Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, but the core Luck Origin of this Universe.

Xu Chen closed his eyes slightly, allowing this Heavenly Luck to wash over his Divine Soul and Physical Body.

He could clearly feel that his compatibility with this world had reached an unprecedented height.

Xu Chen moved his body slightly, and the brocade quilt covering him made a faint rustling sound.

This subtle noise woke the sleeping Shen Xi beside him.

Her long, butterfly-wing-like silver eyelashes fluttered twice, and Shen Xi slowly opened her eyes.

In her dark-gold eyes, the depth of an ancient, rippleless well could no longer be found.

In its place was the daze and helplessness of just waking up, followed by a surge of intense shame the moment she realized her surroundings.

The absurd and wild memories of last night replayed in her mind like a tide.

The confinement of the Grandmist chains, the tearing sensation of Yang Qi being forcibly infused into her body, the despair when her Dao Heart shattered, and finally, the numbness—unfamiliar even to herself—when her body betrayed her reason and completely sank into the sea of desire.

"Awake?"

Xu Chen's deep and lazy voice sounded in her ear.

Shen Xi's body trembled uncontrollably, and she instinctively tried to shrink toward the inner side of the bed, pulling up the quilt to cover her marked body.

She tried to circulate her internal magic to resist, only to find to her sorrow that the Law of Supreme Forgetfulness had completely collapsed.

Now, her body was empty; aside from the residual warmth of Xu Chen's overbearing blood and Qi in her Meridians, she no longer possessed any divine power.

Xu Chen did not give her the chance to escape.

He extended a long arm and easily wrapped it around Shen Xi's slender waist, which could be held in one hand, forcibly pulling her cool body back into his embrace.

"Don't waste your energy."

Xu Chen's chest was pressed tightly against her smooth back, his warm breath fanning across her translucent earlobe.

"Your Dao Heart is shattered, and your Laws are lost. Right now, you are just an ordinary woman."

Shen Xi bit her lower lip hard, so hard that a faint trace of blood seeped out.

She kept her eyes tightly shut, using a silent resistance to preserve the last shred of her insignificant dignity.

However, Xu Chen's next move completely pierced through this weak line of defense.

Xu Chen's broad and powerful palm slid slowly down her flat, smooth waistline, eventually coming to rest firmly on her lean lower abdomen.

The burning temperature from his palm seemed to penetrate her skin and reach the depths of her Soul.

"Don't touch me..."

Shen Xi's voice was terribly hoarse, carrying a tremor she hadn't even noticed herself.

"That's not up to you."

Instead of moving his hand away, Xu Chen caressed that flat abdomen even more gently twice.

"In here, there is already the flesh and blood of me, Xu Chen."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding thunderously in Shen Xi's Sea of Consciousness.

She snapped her eyes open, her dark-gold pupils filled with unbelievable shock and bewilderment.

How was it possible?!

She was the Incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, an immortal and indestructible vessel for the rules.

How could her body possibly nurture a Bloodline life form?

But when she calmed her mind and sent her residual Divine Sense into her Dantian...

She was completely stunned.

There, at the core position that originally belonged to the Supreme Origin, floated an extremely tiny but infinitely vital and vigorous light orb.

Within that light orb, the purest Heavenly Laws of this world were intertwined with Xu Chen's peerless Hongmeng Creation Qi. The two powers were perfectly fused, nurturing a miracle that defied common logic.

Thump.

Thump.

Shen Xi could even faintly feel the weak rhythm of life coming from that tiny light orb.

It was a throb connected to her own Bloodline.

It was a warmth and bond she had never experienced in these long, boundless, cold, and deathly silent years.

"You..."

Shen Xi's lips trembled slightly as she turned her head to stare fixedly at Xu Chen's smiling face.

She wanted to use the most vicious curses to berate this demon who had desecrated a god and destroyed her Dao Heart.

She wanted to use all her remaining strength to strangle him and perish together.

But when the words reached her lips, they turned into a silent sob.

With the Supreme Forgetfulness gone, human emotions were like a bursting flood, completely drowning her.

Anger, humiliation, confusion.

And a trace of... maternity that even she herself felt terrified of.

This most instinctive emotion belonging to secular Mortals was frantically eroding her lofty cognition. With the existence of this divine fetus, she could no longer deceive herself into returning to the Heavenly Dao.

"This is what the seven emotions and six desires are."

Xu Chen watched the intense emotional struggle in Shen Xi's eyes, his hand still steadily protecting her abdomen.

"From today on, stop thinking about any Heavenly Temple or any Heavenly Dao Laws."

"You only need to remember that you are a woman of the Xu Family, and you are carrying my, Xu Chen's, seed."

The mist in Shen Xi's eyes finally condensed into drops, quietly sliding down from the corners of her eyes.

She turned her head away, burying her peerless face deep into the crimson soft pillow, unwilling to let Xu Chen see her current fragility and weakness.

But her slightly trembling body, unknowingly and instinctively, leaned backward, nestling tightly into Xu Chen's broad and burning chest.

Like a traveler who had drifted too long in the bitter winter, she had finally found a harbor that could shield her from the wind and rain.

Xu Chen looked at the goddess in his arms who had completely retracted all her thorns, and the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened.

He lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on Shen Xi's silver hair, which emitted a faint, delicate fragrance.
