Our gaze returns to Wuhun City, deep within the Papal Palace.
This place has been completely under martial law, and is personally guarded by Bibi Dong's most loyal elders and Ghost Douluo. Not even a fly can get in.
Ghost Douluo was injured, but it wasn't a problem for him to keep watch over the surrounding area.
All the maids and physicians were handpicked and were assassins with soul-binding spells on their bodies.
The atmosphere inside the sealed room was tense and oppressive.
Bibi Dong lay on a specially made jade bed, her beautiful face contorted with the pain of childbirth, covered in sweat, and her pale lips bitten until they bled.
She gripped the sheets tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms, struggling to suppress a painful scream.
Humiliation, anger, resentment... a mix of emotions swirled in her heart.
That's outrageous! I'm going to kill that bastard!
She, the supreme Pope of the Spirit Hall, had to endure the pain of childbirth like an ordinary woman, giving birth to the child of the man who had defiled her!
Each contraction was accompanied by excruciating pain, as if it were tearing her body and soul apart.
She had thought countless times of using the power of the Rakshasa God to forcibly end the process, but whenever the killing intent arose, the tenacious and pure life force within her would send a strange comforting sensation, causing the power she had gathered to inexplicably dissipate.
What alarmed her even more was that, as labor progressed, she felt a vast and sacred power awakening and spreading from the little life about to be born inside her!
Finally, after a muffled groan that had been suppressed to the extreme, the baby's loud cry broke the silence of the secret room.
However, at this very moment, something unexpected happened!
The moment the baby is separated from the mother's body.
Buzz!
A pure, golden beam of light, brimming with warmth and vitality, burst forth from the baby's tiny body without warning, piercing through the many barriers of the secret chamber and soaring straight into the sky!
The entire sky above Wuhun City was bathed in a sacred golden light!
The immense life energy spread outwards from the Papal Palace like a tide, bringing life to withered trees and blooming flowers wherever it passed. Injured soul masters felt their injuries improve, and the elderly seemed to have become several years younger!
The entire Wuhun City was shocked by this sudden celestial phenomenon!
"Is this...is this a miracle?!"
"The goddess of life has descended?!"
"The aura of light! It's coming from the Papal Palace!"
"My God! What's happening?! Could it be the birth of a god?"
"Stop talking, just kneel down!"
The city was in an uproar, with countless Soul Masters and civilians kneeling in prayer, dumbfounded.
Inside the sealed room, the light gradually dimmed.
Bibi Dong weakly raised her head and looked at the baby being carefully held by the maid.
It was a beautifully sculpted baby girl, unexpectedly healthy and strong, not at all like a premature baby.
She stopped crying and opened her eyes, which were as pure as the purest amethyst, to curiously observe the world.
A warm and gentle aura of light naturally flowed around her, and it seemed as if a golden halo was flowing beneath her skin.
Most remarkably, on the center of her forehead, there was a faint seven-colored pattern that resembled the halo of Lingye Holy Spirit Puni Martial Soul, exuding an indescribable majesty and holiness.
Without needing to awaken, everyone could sense the terrifying light and life essence contained within this child!
Her martial spirit will surely shake the world in the future!
The maid gently placed the child beside Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong reached out her hand, trembling, wanting to touch it, but hesitated.
The rich, sacred life force made the Rakshasa divine power within her feel extremely uncomfortable and repulsed.
But when her cold fingers finally touched the baby's soft cheek, a throbbing and connection from the deepest part of her blood instantly spread throughout her body like an electric current!
It's an inseparable and irresistible bond!
The baby seemed to sense its mother's presence, reaching out its little hand to grasp one of her fingers, babbling contentedly, and an unconscious, pure smile appeared on its face.
At this moment, the overwhelming killing intent, endless humiliation and anger that had been building up in Bibi Dong's heart for months began to melt away rapidly, like ice and snow being exposed to the sun.
She looked at this little life connected to her by blood, at the faint resemblance between his brows and that of that man, and felt the pure power emanating from him that filled her with awe…
An unprecedentedly strong maternal instinct, so intense it frightened even herself, erupted like a volcano, instantly overwhelming all negative emotions.
This is her child! He is Bibi Dong's bloodline!
It was also him and his own child!
I never imagined this day would come! It was a scene I could never even dream of!
I didn't expect her to accomplish it!
That man...who exactly is he?
How could they have left behind such extraordinary descendants?
This bastard seems even more mysterious and unpredictable than she imagined!
The pure hatred that she originally felt gradually dissipated, replaced by curiosity and a desire to explore Ling Ye, and even a subtle emotion that she herself could not understand or knew what it was.
She gently held the baby in her arms, feeling the small, warm body, and a strange sense of peace welled up in her heart, even the fatigue and pain of childbirth seemed to lessen.
Bibi Dong gazed at the baby girl, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her face.
"From today onwards, your name will be... Dong Ye." Bibi Dong's voice was gentler than ever before. She looked at the child, her eyes filled with complex emotions, but no longer harboring any murderous intent. "You are my daughter, the future hope of the Spirit Hall, and my everything!"
She decided to keep the child a secret and teach him herself.
Her existence will be her greatest secret, and also her trump card in the future fight against the Temple of Worship and even in her exploration of the path to godhood.
As for that man... perhaps he's no longer an object that needs to be eliminated?
At least until we figure out everything about him, and this strange connection between him and the child...
He has so many secrets! Perhaps they can help me!
Bibi Dong held Dong Ye in her arms, gazing out the window at the sky, which was gradually calming down but still retained a sacred afterglow, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
Her expression became complicated, and she finally sighed, somewhat indignant.
Damn bastard! The baby's already born, aren't you going to come and see it?
The storm, because of the birth of this child, will turn in a direction no one can predict.
Meanwhile, far away in Tiandou City, Ling Ye felt a sudden, inexplicable jolt in his heart. His Holy Spirit Puni Martial Soul experienced a strange tremor, as if he had sensed the birth of some kind of bloodline of the same origin.
He frowned slightly, looking in the direction of Wuhun City, a strange feeling rising in his heart.
"It seems... something big has happened that concerns me?"
