407: Chapter 407 My 'Many Children' is Your 'Many Blessings'

Qin Lin fell silent for a moment: "So, you let me have many children, not just so The Ark wouldn't be downgraded?"

Ling looked at him: "It is also for myself. My Recovery, the stability of The Ark, and the number of children are all one. The more children you have, the better I recover, and the stronger my abilities become. The stronger I am, the better I can protect The Ark, and the safer you all can be while having children. It is a cycle."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Then what if I stop having children?"

Ling was silent for a moment: "I will slowly weaken, fall into a deep sleep again, and The Ark will slowly be downgraded."

Qin Lin took a deep breath: "So, you were actually telling me that my 'many children' is your 'many blessings'."

Ling nodded: "Yes. Because of my deep sleep, I passed the opportunity for 'many children' to you. You complete the 'many children' for me, and I can have 'many blessings'. But after I have 'many blessings', I can naturally let you have 'many blessings' as well. This is the power of the Law exclusive to me."

Qin Lin looked at her, not knowing what to say.

He had always thought he was completing a System task; he hadn't expected such a deep reason behind it.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Ling looked at him: "Because the old you would have felt more pressure and treated it as a task that had to be completed. Now it's different. Now you have treated this as a part of life. You've already had a hundred children, and you are still continuing to have more. You are no longer doing it for a task, but for life."

Qin Lin was silent for a long time, then laughed: "You're right. The old me would indeed have treated this as a task. Now, I am indeed doing it for life."

Ling also laughed: "Then are you willing to continue helping me?"

Qin Lin reached out and held her hand: "I am willing, because helping you is also helping me."

Ling looked at his hand, not pulling it back.

Her hand was very cold, but as he held it, it slowly began to warm up.

She said softly: "Thank you."

From that day on, Ling began to appear more frequently in the daily life of The Ark.

Her abilities were slowly strengthening.

She could sense when someone was in a bad mood, and then appear beside that person. Without needing to speak, just sitting there, that companionship alone could make people calm down.

One day, Li Ying said to Han Qing in the corridor: "That Ling, sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, she just appears beside me. She doesn't talk, just sits there."

"But after sitting for a while, I feel better."

Han Qing looked at her: "You're in a bad mood?"

Li Ying thought about it: "Occasionally. There are many people and many things on The Ark; it gets annoying sometimes. But seeing her sitting there makes me feel like it's no big deal."

Ling's ability was getting stronger and stronger.

She began to be able to sense the physical condition of the pregnant women.

One day in the Medical Room, she said to Han Qing: "Su Yu's fetal position is a little off; it needs to be adjusted."

Han Qing was stunned for a moment: "How do you know?"

Ling looked at her: "I can sense the energy state of everyone on The Ark; the energy of pregnant women is more obvious."

Han Qing was silent for a moment: "Then can you help me check the other pregnant women?"

Ling nodded: "I can."

From that day on, Ling went to the Medical Room every day to check the physical condition of the pregnant women with Han Qing.

Her perception made the examinations faster and more accurate, and Han Qing's workload was reduced significantly.

Han Yurou said in the living room: "Sister Ling is now like my mother's assistant—no, like my mother's teacher."

Han Qing glared at her: "Shut up."

One day, Ling met Murong Wan by the Flower Garden.

Murong Wan was watering the chinese roses. Seeing Ling walk over, she put down the watering can: "You seem to have changed a lot recently."

Ling stood still beside her: "Where have I changed?"

Murong Wan looked at her: "Before, you were like a shadow that would disappear at any moment. Now, you're like a real person. You can laugh, talk, and stand here with me watching the flowers."

Ling lowered her head to look at the chinese roses in the Flower Garden—red, pink, yellow, and white, crowding the fence wall: "Because I woke up, and because there are children—many, many children."

Ling's ability was strengthening day by day.

One night, she said to Qin Lin on the Bridge: "I can already sense energy fluctuations within ten kilometers of The Ark."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Then can you sense danger?"

Ling shook her head: "Not yet accurately, but I can feel anomalies. If unknown energy approaches The Ark, I will know."

Qin Lin nodded: "That's enough. As long as you can sense anomalies, we can prepare in advance."

Ling looked at him: "Aren't you afraid? If we sense danger, we might have to fight."

Qin Lin laughed: "What's there to be afraid of?"

Ling looked at him, the corners of her mouth curling up: "You've changed a lot. Before, you were always very nervous; now, you're relaxed."

Qin Lin thought about it: "Because I have you all. With you all here, I have confidence."

Ling didn't answer, but the corners of her mouth curled up even higher.

The women on The Ark also liked Ling more and more.

Han Yurou often dragged Ling to the living room: "Sister Ling, teach me how to use the energy of The Ark to Cultivate."

Liu Ruyan also often went to find her: "Sister Ling, help me check if this pregnancy is stable."

Even Su Han would go to find Ling when she encountered a Bottleneck in her Cultivation. Ling would sit opposite her, extend her finger to point at her forehead, and probe a wisp of Warmth energy into her Meridians.

Su Han closed her eyes. Ling could feel the Qi in her body flowing slowly, smoother than before.

One night, Qin Lin was looking at the star chart on the Bridge. Ling walked in and sat down beside him: "Qin Lin, do you have time?"

Qin Lin turned his head to look at her: "I do. What's wrong?"

Ling looked at him: "I sense something approaching The Ark. It's not danger; it's a kind of energy fluctuation. It's very similar to a source crystal, but not exactly the same."

Qin Lin opened the holographic screen: "Where?"

Ling pointed in a direction on the screen: "Over there."

Qin Lin pulled up the scanning array. A faint spot of light appeared on the holographic screen, becoming clearer under Ling's guidance.

That wasn't a source crystal, but a kind of energy crystal he had never seen before. The color was purplish, like a star wrapped in rock.

The System prompt sounded.

[Detected unknown energy crystal]

[Type: Unidentified]

[Energy characteristics: Similar to source crystal but different]

[Suggestion: Proceed to investigate]

Qin Lin looked at the spot of light, then looked at Ling: "Do you want to go take a look?"

Ling nodded: "I want to. It gives me a very familiar feeling, like... a part of me."

Qin Lin stood up: "Alright, we'll go tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Qin Lin took Ling and Shen Qingyi and flew towards the spot of light in The Ark's probe.

The probe flew at low altitude for about twenty minutes and landed in a valley.

The valley was full of purple flowers, like a purple ocean.
