347: Chapter 341 Homecoming and Reunion

"So... so beautiful!"

Yang Yueqi's eyes instantly turned into stars.

Bai Jie and Zhang Xinmei were also stunned into silence by the shocking sight. They could feel a majestic life energy contained within these crystal bottles—an indescribable force that made their very souls tremble.

"Is this a Gene Optimization Fluid that can change the essence of life?" Liliya asked curiously.

As a member of a cosmic race with inherited memories, she understood better than the three Earth-born women what the items before them truly meant.

Song Yang enjoyed their shocked expressions and spoke with a smile.

"This is indeed called 'Life Level Optimization Fluid'."

"It has only one effect."

Song Yang's gaze swept across the beautiful faces of the four women as he spoke each word deliberately.

"To let you reach the heavens in a single bound and possess the physical constitution of the War God Level."

"This... this is too precious!"

Bai Jie was the first to react, instinctively shaking her head. "Song Yang, we can't..."

"There is no 'can't'."

Song Yang interrupted her, his tone brook no argument.

"It is my failure that you are following me yet still remain at the level of ordinary humans."

"I cannot tolerate the possibility of my family being harmed by even the slightest aftershock of some future disaster."

His gaze was incredibly serious.

"You deserve to stand at a higher starting point and possess a longer lifespan to accompany me in witnessing even broader horizons."

"I need you to stay by my side forever."

These words shattered the last bit of hesitation in the women's hearts.

Their eyes grew slightly red.

This man was always paving the way for them.

"There are ten vials here; one for each of you."

With a flick of Song Yang's finger, four crystal bottles containing what looked like miniature galaxies floated gently toward them.

"The remaining ones I will give to some trustworthy people."

The four women reached out and caught the divine objects that were enough to change their fates.

They no longer hesitated, pulled out the stoppers, and drank the galaxy-like liquid in one gulp!

The moment the liquid entered their mouths, it transformed into an indescribable torrent of warmth, washing through their limbs and bones, every cell, and every inch of their genetic chains!

Their bodies levitated uncontrollably, emitting a soft and holy white light.

Their skin became finer and smoother than the highest quality suet jade, impurities were instantly purged from their bodies, and their life aura surged wildly at a terrifying speed!

The traces of time at the corners of Bai Jie's eyes vanished completely; she looked ten years younger, her mature charm now infused with a hint of divine allure.

Zhang Xinmei's already well-maintained body now glowed with astonishing vitality. Every inch of her skin seemed to breathe, and a touch of otherworldly elegance was added to her queenly aura.

Yang Yueqi's twin tails fluttered without wind. Her original lively cuteness was now tempered with a sense of heroism and agility, as if she could step into the air and fly away at any moment.

The one who changed the most was Liliya.

She was already at the War God Level of life; now, under the catalysis of the optimization fluid, she barely reached the Stellar Rank.

The entire process took only a short dozen seconds.

When the light dissipated, the four women slowly landed.

They felt the majestic power surging through them like rivers and seas, their unprecedentedly clear five senses, and their seemingly endless vitality. For a moment, they were all in a daze.

In the blink of an eye, they had truly transformed from mortals into War Gods.

"This feeling..."

Yang Yueqi clenched her fist, and the air let out a slight sonic boom. "I feel like I could punch right through this Villa!"

"Our lifespan..."

Bai Jie felt the fire of life within her, her voice trembling. "It has been extended by at least several hundred years..."

They all looked at Song Yang. In addition to love, their eyes held a trace of heartfelt admiration and awe.

This man already possessed the god-like power to create miracles.

Song Yang smiled as he watched their transformation. These five hundred thousand merit points were well spent.

Just as the atmosphere was warm and shocking, Liliya, who hadn't said much, suddenly tugged gently on Song Yang's sleeve.

Her pretty face carried a hint of shyness, a hint of nervousness, and a trace of joy she couldn't hide.

Song Yang looked at her in confusion.

Liliya gently placed his hand on her flat lower abdomen.

"Song Yang..."

She gathered her courage and, meeting everyone's gaze, softly spoke a sentence that instantly froze the entire space.

"I... I think I'm pregnant."

Time seemed to have been put on pause.

Song Yang's palm froze on Liliya's abdomen, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Pregnant?

Bai Jie, Zhang Xinmei, and Yang Yueqi were all stunned as well, their gazes collectively focusing on Liliya's still flat and smooth abdomen.

Liliya felt a bit embarrassed under everyone's gaze, her face flushing red, yet she still bravely met Song Yang's eyes, which were full of expectation and happiness.

"My... my race's perception of life conception is very keen. Although it has only just begun, I can feel a new little life sprouting here."

She explained softly, her voice carrying the tenderness of a new mother.

Song Yang snapped out of his shock.

He was no saint; he had human desires and emotions.

And now, he was about to have his own bloodline, a brand new life closely connected to him!

This feeling was more shocking and joyful than breaking through any realm or obtaining any divine artifact!

"When the baby is born, will you give him a name? Please?"

Song Yang looked up into Liliya's hopeful eyes and nodded heavily.

"Okay."

His voice was incredibly solemn.

"I will think of the best name in the world for him."

This sudden surprise added a bit of attachment and a heavier responsibility to the itinerary Song Yang had already planned.

A week passed quickly.

During these seven days, Song Yang didn't handle any outside affairs, simply spending time quietly with his family.

He personally guided them in becoming familiar with their power, watching them go from being cautious at the start to being able to use energy to fly proficiently.

The day of departure eventually arrived.

"This trip will likely take a few months."

Song Yang looked at them and said softly.

"I will first go to a special Cosmic Secret Realm. When I return from there, I will head straight to participate in the Universe Competition."

They knew that was the highest-level gathering for the younger generation in the entire human territory!

Top geniuses from countless galaxies and civilizations would engage in the most brutal competition on that stage.

It was a place of glory, but also a place where bones were buried!

"You must stay safe."

Bai Jie stepped forward to smooth his collar and urged him.

"Don't worry."

Song Yang held her hand. "Right now, no one can easily threaten me."

He looked at Zhang Xinmei: "I'll leave the matters at home to you."

Zhang Xinmei smiled confidently: "Go with a peaceful mind. I will guard the kingdom you've built for you."

He then looked at Yang Yueqi; the young girl had grown quite a bit, and her gaze was resolute.

"Take good care of your sisters."

"Mhm!" Yang Yueqi nodded vigorously.

Finally, his gaze fell on Liliya, his eyes instantly turning as tender as water.

He gently stroked her abdomen.

"When I return, our child should be almost ready to be born."

Liliya stood on her tiptoes and pressed a light kiss on his lips.

"We'll wait for you to come home."

Song Yang took a deep breath, suppressed all his reluctance in his heart, turned around, and stepped onto the starship's gangway.

His back was still so straight and so determined.

The hatch slowly closed.

The starship's engines let out a low roar, and in the next moment, it turned into a streak of light, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the horizon.

On the ground, the four women stood for a long time, watching the direction in which he had left.

Inside the cockpit of the starship, Song Yang leaned back in his seat, his gaze piercing through the porthole toward the vast and boundless sea of stars.

His heart was more determined than ever before.

Once, he fought for himself and for survival.

Later, he fought for his family and his homeland.

And now, he would fight for a new life about to be born!

The Universe Competition...

He wanted to see just how capable the geniuses of the entire universe truly were!
