441: The Crisis of the Baby King

Wang Mian also noticed the situation in the delivery room.

Kronos slowly said, "This is the deal I made with the future you.

I have paid my price, but becoming a god also comes with a price."

Kronos looked at Wang Mian, and a trace of pity suddenly flashed in his eyes, "My era is over, goodbye, Wang Mian!"

After speaking, Kronos's body completely turned into nothingness and disappeared in Wang Mian's arms.

Wang Mian wiped away the tears from his face. He knew that now was not the time for sentimentality. The version of himself who had inherited the Law of Time was still just a fetus.

With a human body, how could he withstand the risk of being assimilated by the Dao?

… …

The delivery room door opened, and Wang Mian's father anxiously watched the nurse walk out.

"Nurse, how is it? How is my wife now? Is the baby okay?"

The nurse wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Wang, mother and son are safe!"

Wang Mian's father was stunned for a moment, then happily jumped up.

"Mother and son are safe, haha, I'm a father, I'm a father!"

Wang Mian's father took big strides and arrived at the ward.

At this moment, his wife was looking at the newborn baby, her eyes full of doting affection.

His child was a little different from other infants; there were no wrinkles on his face, but instead, he looked like a porcelain doll carved from pink jade.

Wang Mian's father came to the bedside, looked at his child and wife, and tears couldn't help but flow from his eyes.

"Wife, you've worked hard!"

Wang Mian's father gently stroked his wife, while curiously looking at the newborn Wang Mian, his face filled with both joy and heartache.

"Father, Mother!"

Suddenly, a clear, tender voice came from the baby's mouth.

Wang Mian's father was stunned at first, then uncertainly asked, "Wife, did you hear a sound just now?"

Wang Mian's mother was also very puzzled, "Husband, I think… I heard someone calling 'Father' and 'Mother'."

Hearing his wife's affirmative reply, Wang Mian's father asked somewhat suspiciously, "It couldn't be our child, could it?"

"How is that possible? Our child was just born; how could he speak? It's probably a sound from outside." Wang Mian's mother said.

Just then, that clear voice rang out again, "Father, Mother, it was me, Wang Mian, who spoke just now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Mian's father and mother immediately widened their eyes.

Their gaze towards the child was filled with curiosity.

"How can you speak as soon as you're born? Is my son a Genius?" Wang Mian's father was both curious and happy.

However, Wang Mian's mother noticed something unusual, "Doctor, Doctor?"

Wang Mian's mother called out to the doctor several times, but the doctor in the ward remained motionless, like a statue.

Wang Mian's father also noticed this point. For ordinary people, this situation was simply too bizarre.

He walked up to the doctor and gently touched him, but the doctor's body seemed to be blocked by something, and Wang Mian's father couldn't touch him at all.

"The doctor is merely in a state of Time Stasis; he is very safe."

A soft glow emanated from the infant Wang Mian, and under the astonished gazes of his father and mother, he actually floated in the air.

Wang Mian's parents saw this scene, their hearts pounding. It turned out that this incredible scene was caused by their own child.

A slight smile appeared on the baby's face, "Father, Mother, don't be afraid, I will tell you the reason for this."

The soft glow around the infant Wang Mian enveloped his parents. Both felt a warm current fill their entire bodies, and even the wounds on Wang Mian's mother's body began to heal.

Immediately after, streams of information flooded into their minds.

After processing this information, Wang Mian's parents sat weakly on the bed.

Their child was actually a god, the Time God of this world.

Due to Kronos's self-sacrifice, the infant Wang Mian had already completed his transformation within his mother's womb.

And after the infant Wang Mian was born, he once again manipulated the Law of Time, causing the entire Lincang City to fall into a state of Time Stasis again.

Wang Mian was also confined by this power, remaining on the hospital rooftop.

"This is the whole story." The infant Wang Mian said.

Wang Mian's parents fell into contemplation, especially Wang Mian's father, whose face was constantly changing.

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Mian's father spoke, "Son, so, how much time do you have left?"

Wang Mian had informed his parents of all the information, and thus, they also knew that after becoming a god, Wang Mian would face the crisis of assimilation by the Dao.

A human body cannot bear the Divine Power of the Law, and will eventually be completely assimilated by it, becoming the Dao of this world.

The infant Wang Mian opened his big eyes and said somewhat mischievously, "I still have a lot of time. The Law of Time will take some time to find me if it wants to assimilate me."

Wang Mian's mother's eyes were red, and tears welled up around them.

She could not accept that her child, just born, was about to leave this world.

However, compared to the grief of Wang Mian's parents, the infant Wang Mian did not feel much sadness.

He opened his rosy arms and said,

"Father, Mother, hug me!"

Wang Mian's father carefully held Wang Mian and placed him in his wife's arms.

His wife was also too preoccupied with sadness to care; she wanted to look at her child a few more times.

The infant Wang Mian lay contentedly in his mother's embrace, one hand holding his mother's, the other holding his father's.

Even though he had little time left, fortunately, he was very happy during this remaining period.

As for being assimilated by the Dao, why worry so much about it?

Although he knew his mission, man proposes, God disposes. He had already done his best, and the rest was up to fate.

Wang Mian's parents looked at their child, their feelings very complex. No parents would willingly watch their child go to his death.

Was there really no other way?

Perhaps it was out of love for their child that a voice simultaneously appeared in the minds of Wang Mian's parents.

Just as that voice appeared, the infant Wang Mian's expression suddenly changed.

His expression was very angry, "Old Wang Mian, shut up! This is my timeline, I won't allow you to tamper with my timeline!"

A terrifying pressure emanated from the infant Wang Mian, intending to expel the consciousness of the future Time God, Old Wang Mian.

However, the moment the infant Wang Mian activated his Divine Power, a ball of light emerged from his belly.

Immediately after, Old Wang Mian's voice came from within.

"Without my hilt, you wouldn't be able to become the Time God.

Sorry, my past self."

The infant Wang Mian's Divine Power seemed to be confined by some force. All his Divine Power was withdrawn into his body. The infant Wang Mian wanted to break free from Old Wang Mian's restraint, but everything was in vain. He could only helplessly close his eyes and completely fall unconscious.
