Chapter 2473: Sealing the Origin

Xiao Feng's thoughts turned like lightning as he pondered countermeasures.

Soon he came up with a plan!

"I will go and subjugate the new universe! From now on, our family will live there and not cause you any trouble!" Xiao Feng said.

The material universe is Chen Li's territory; although Xiao Feng, as one who has escaped, also has great authority, he is ultimately not the universal Dao itself.

His son's talent is so heaven-defying that he will surely surpass the existence of a Dao Ancestor.

If I cannot give him a stable world to grow up in, then as a father I would be utterly derelict!

The new universe is vast, though not as vast as this homeland universe; but if properly managed and developed, it could one day become a great universe.

Xiao Feng is now stronger than an ordinary Dao Ancestor, perhaps able to seize the new universe in one fell swoop; when the child grows up, he can then cultivate in his own cosmic environment—exactly the best outcome.

Chen Li, hearing this, said: "You must think it through clearly; once you leave the homeland universe and put down roots there, we will become two lives of different factions on the Myriad Worlds Tree. Although we can still cooperate and together conquer the other strong beings of the high-dimensional world, that would ultimately mean splitting up, no longer a family."

"I can't possibly abandon my child, can I?" Xiao Feng said with a bitter smile.

Chen Li thought for a moment, then replied: "Everything has a sliver of hope; you are an Escaped One, and your son may have inherited your trait. Let it be for now—I will place a seal on him so his origin aptitude does not awaken within three hundred years. During this time, observe him well to see which path his growth takes. If he truly becomes a rival of mine, moving later is not too late."

Seal the origin for three hundred years...

As an ordinary

From a person's perspective, three hundred years is too long—it is the change of a dynasty.

But Xiao Fan is not an ordinary person; his gestation period already exceeds two thousand years, and his future birth and growth cycle are destined to differ from that of ordinary people.

"Waa~"

The sound of a baby's crying came from the room.

The child finally came into the world, seeing the first light of this world.

The women inside the house laughed and chatted, all very happy.

Although Xiao Feng was also happy, he inevitably felt a heaviness in his heart.

Nobody wants to oppose the Cosmic Will, and he is no exception.

The child's existence conflicts with the Cosmic Will, which is terribly frightening; if not for Chen Li's friendly relationship with him, today would surely be a disaster.

Boom—

Thunder rumbled in the sky, sounding together with the baby's cries.

The women in the room didn't know the truth, only feeling that this was a cosmic phenomenon accompanying birth, just like Qing Ruo and Yu Ran, a sign of exceptional talent.

The sky shone terrifyingly bright; a dazzling beam of light descended, piercing into the room and falling upon the newborn baby boy held in Jiang Ning's arms.

The baby boy originally possessed extremely strong spiritual energy; with each breath he drove the life fluctuations of myriad surrounding beings, as if merging with the plants and trees around the house.

But as the light fell, this aptitude was temporarily suppressed, turning him into an ordinary child.

The phenomenon ended, the heavenly might dissipated, and the Cosmic Will departed.

Xiao Feng pushed the door open and entered the room, casting his worries aside, then walked over and took the child.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao Feng..."

Xun Shuang sat up, her forehead slightly sweating; it was still arduous to detach such a large piece of flesh and blood from her body.

"Shuang'er, you've worked hard. You see"

", our child is very cute."

Xiao Feng held the child up for her to see.

Newborn babies are normally not very good-looking.

But this child is different, having stayed in the womb for over two thousand years, absorbing an unknown amount of heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, and nourished by chaotic spiritual energy, born already resembling a month-old infant.

Moreover, the fluctuations of his spiritual power are not insignificant; upon close inspection, one can discover that the child's genetic level is surprisingly that of an advanced form of extraordinary life; as long as he eats and grows normally, within a few years he will possess strength of thousands, even tens of thousands of tons.

And this... is the manifestation after suppressing the origin aptitude.

If it weren't for the suppressing seal, it would be utterly unimaginable!

"He's more like you."

Xun Shuang gently stroked the child's delicate cheek with her fingertip, a tender smile appearing on her face.

Xiao Feng's flesh and blood naturally resemble Xiao Feng.

But he also shares many similarities with her.

It's easy to see that this child will surely grow up to be a little troublemaker who brings disaster to girls.

It's just unknown whether his temperament takes after his father or mother; if he takes after Xiao Feng, that would be terrible.

Xiao Feng, coming from a commoner family, can already be this bad; this child, however, was born into a Dao Ancestor's family—will he not become lawless and heaven-defying?

"Really want to call him Xiao Fan? I see this child is anything but ordinary, born with cosmic phenomena, an extraordinary innate physique, and being the child of you two monsters, he will surely be remarkably outstanding, not inferior to Xiao Feng." Xuan Die said.

Xun Shuang replied: "Even if he is born extraordinary, I only wish he keeps a humble heart, not disturbed by worldly clamor, not tempted by prosperous myriad phenomena, modest, gentle, and moist, always the same."

"A very good wish."

Xiao Feng felt these words spoken to

his heart.

He truly fears that this child will grow up to be a disaster, clashing with the Cosmic Will.

If he truly is as Xun Shuang says, modest, gentle, and moist, non-contentious and non-angry, that would indeed be the best.

Actually, whether the child becomes strong or not, Xiao Feng doesn't care at all.

Because he is already strong enough, he can protect his children for life without worry or anxiety; everything they desire in the universe can be obtained for them, without the children having to painstakingly cultivate and fight.

But he will not stop the child from cultivating to become stronger.

This is the child's freedom.

The little one held by Xiao Feng and Xun Shuang soon showed a smile.

"Dad... dad..."

Mom…… dear……

The little one babbled, just like his two sisters, he could speak right after birth.

Jiang Ning laughed and said, "Every child of our Xiao family is a genius."

Xiao Feng, hearing his son call him, beamed with joy.

Xun Shuang smiled faintly and said, "So this is what it feels like to be a mother…… it doesn't seem so bad."

Xiao Feng advised: "Of course it won't be bad; this is one of life's great joys. Shuang'er, don't always think about that side of forsaking emotions for the supreme. We are humans, and humans' most fundamental happiness is the seven emotions and six desires. Even the Lord of the Universe longs for emotional fulfillment, fearing to lose the joy of being human, so don't follow his path."

While saying that, he also teased his son, instructing solemnly: "And you, in the future be a proper young master of the Xiao family. Father permits you to cause trouble for other families' daughters, but you must not do evil that harms the universe. Understand?"

The little one opened his round, glossy eyes, showing his incomprehension.

Although the child is very smart, as soon as he is born he will

speak, but he is not so smart as to understand all this.

"Nor are you allowed to cause trouble for other families' daughters!"

Xun Shuang, hearing this, stopped Xiao Feng and said to her son, "You must listen to your mother; either you do not seek a dao companion, or you must wholeheartedly love only one person."

Xuan Die at the side laughed lightly and said, "Xiao Feng's bloodline is probably a bit difficult."

Xiao Feng, without blushing or getting out of breath, calmly said, "What's the big deal? I am devoted to loving just one person; I'm just naturally gifted, having a few more hearts than others."

"Shameless!" the ladies laughed and scolded.
