Chapter 1519 Chapter 1512: Future
This wasn"t the first time that Wei Wuyin had heard such words. It was likely to be his last. However, his silver eyes reflected the state of his soul-shaken!
Mei Mei"s gaze did not avert in the slightest, carrying with it a staunch will and a steel heart. She allowed Wei Wuyin to digest and consider her desire in its entirety while remaining quiet. She was one of the few who was fully aware of Wei Wuyin"s past, so she didn"t dare to push the matter beyond those two statements.
"I want to have a child. I want to have your child!"
Within Wei Wuyin"s Sea of Consciousness, chaotic rumbling swept across its vast mental s.p.a.ce as those two sentences repeated endlessly in Mei Mei"s voice. Then, without warning, the voice"s ident.i.ty began to s.h.i.+ft.
Xue Yifei-he heard her determined voice softly spoken in his ear.
It changed yet again.
Da Shan-an uncharacteristically shy and sweet voice muttered under her breath.
Again!
Si De-a dejected voice that was filled with a sense of inferiority.
And again!
Ai Juling. Ai Yin. Bloodtorrent. Yang Chaoyue. Tian Lingyu. Mei Yang. Lin Xianxian. Nyla Shur. It didn"t stop with them. Every last woman whose mental fluctuations had any sort of inkling of that thought resonated with those words, mimicking them in their unique tones, some shy, others direct, and a few aggrieved.
Wei Wuyin"s cultivation of Eden had inadvertently led to him gaining an innately natural sense toward reading thoughts, while vague, they translated into hazy feelings and emotions rather than words. This was the first time that he could "hear" their thoughts formulated in words, all with their unique vocal inflections as clear as he could see himself in the mirror.
Within his dark pupils, seven-colored light bloomed beautifully and created a landscape of emotions and dreams, thoughts and nightmares, feelings and hope. The world changed into seven different colors-seven different fundamental emotions.
"..." Mei Mei saw Wei Wuyin"s state and illuminated eyes. She was taken aback by how beautifully they looked as if they were gateways to the emotions of numerous lovely lives. However, she didn"t interrupt as she used every ounce of her willpower to remain where she was. Her hand pressed against her lower stomach with a little more strength.
For seven minutes, Wei Wuyin remained suspended with his eyes wide, suffused with seven-colored light notably different from the seven lights of the Alchemic Dao.
"...!" Wei Wuyin snapped out of his stupor as the light vanished, receding into his pupils as if returning to his soul through his eyes. With a light, airy breath, Wei Wuyin calmed down as he prioritized inspecting his Sea of Consciousness.
The Heavenly War Spirit was a ma.s.s of golden brilliance. She levitated beneath Eden"s form that was manifested into a gigantic tree, heavily resembling his original form before becoming Wei Wuyin"s Spirit of Cultivation. While this was more majestic, flouris.h.i.+ng with livelier leaves, and a healthier trunk, there was an undeniable similarity.
"What just happened?" Wei Wuyin solemnly questioned Eden directly as a Mental Incarnation. He soared toward the crown of the tree in a flash. When he arrived, his gaze swept across the leaves and his expression changed slightly. Eden was an Alchemic Soul at its core, and the seven-colored alchemic light had always been prevalent despite its origins in the Mind Dao. Even to this day, Wei Wuyin hadn"t met another cultivator of the Mind Dao-a cultivator with a Spirit of Cultivation nestled within their Sea of Consciousness.
Whether it was demons, elves, or humans, they had their Spirits of Cultivation in their dantian, while beastmen had their Spirits of Cultivation in their hearts. Even Celestials who had theirs in the fluffy tail of theirs acting as a dantian or t.i.tans that used their entire Skeletal Frame as a dantian, he hadn"t come across a single cultivator who cultivated with their Sea of Consciousness as their dantian.
Now, the leaves of Eden were no longer the colors of the Alchemic Dao but possessed distinctively different seven colors.
"I"ve made a breakthrough," Eden said as the branches shook, and a leaf large enough to blanket a small city was plucked. It flew over and miraculously shrunk until it could fit into Wei Wuyin"s Mental Incarnation"s palm, and he reached out to grab it. He could feel an aura similar to the Seven Source Soul Light emanating from it alongside alchemical auras.
"Turn it over," Eden"s voice echoed.
He turned over the leaf, and his eyes exuded the light of wondrous discovery. The other side had seven colors as well, but they were of the Alchemic Dao"s distinct colors. Unlike the Alchemic Dao"s seven colors, the Seven Source Soul Light was of the typical light spectrum-Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet-but of different shades. Its red was more sanguine, like blood. The others were similar, either darker or lighter.
Wei Wuyin inspected the leaf for a long time before nodding his head. The two sides of the leaf were in perfect cohabitation. It was flawless. Moreover, he noticed that his sea of mental energy was slowly being infected by Eden"s roots. Before, it was clear and colorless, the stock standard color for mental energies. Now, there were seven colors dyeing it beautifully like vibrant paint poured into flowing water.
"Allow me to explore it a little," Eden requested. Even it was shaken by its changes and wasn"t able to grasp all of the changes that it invoked. Wei Wuyin didn"t reject its request. He could verify that his perception of thoughts had elevated from emotions and feelings to structured words, to some extent.
Not even Wei Wuyin had expected a request to induce such extraordinary changes. When he returned from his Sea of Consciousness, less than a millisecond had pa.s.sed. Not even his alternate self in the Mystic Ascendant Realm had experienced such drastic changes.
"Boss," Wei Wuyin finally broke the silence.
"..." Mei Mei looked at Wei Wuyin and patiently waited. She expected many things, even an outright refusal, and had long since prepared herself for this. She had also expected a direct agreement.
There were many things Wei Wuyin could say, and many things he wanted to say, but he instead decided not to directly answer. He bitterly smiled as he grabbed her hand and pressed it against his heart. The act left Mei Mei confused. Then, she felt the thunderous booms of his heartbeat that were like a ferocious dragon roaring to the heavens. Her blood, mind, and soul shook.
"What...?" Her entire bearing nearly broke down as her complexion grew ashen pale, and newly formed sweat dripped from her palms, forehead, back, and armpits. It wasn"t terror. It was simply intensity! Pure, unrestrained INTENSITY!
"While my soul is still that of a mortal, my body has long since entered the Mystic Dao. While it"s somewhat special due to various circ.u.mstances, I can say with certainty that if a mortal woman wished to have my child, she"d die before developing a proper fetus." Wei Wuyin admitted directly. He didn"t just have a Mystic-rank True Void Dragon Bloodline lineage, but his Yang Essence of Life carried the profound qualities of the Stellar-Paragon Physique. Moreover, he wasn"t certain how the Inheritor of Sin"s Bloodline of Sin would manifest in his descendants.
Long ago, he once swore to never have children if he couldn"t ensure that he would be a part of their lives, especially their early years, and with the constant danger of the Calamity of h.e.l.l hanging over his head, he had never given those feelings and emotions of all his women any further thought on the matter. He had a million and one excuses that he could use for most. The easiest explanation was that he was simply too young to settle down relative to his cultivation base. Even as a Starlord, at the age beneath a hundred, he was no different than a prep.u.b.escent child. After all, the average lifespan of an Astral Core Realm cultivator was fifteen hundred years!
However, he didn"t feel the need to give an excuse here. He simply told Mei Mei the truth.
When Mei Mei heard Wei Wuyin tell her the situation, her heart raced as she realized that the path Wei Wuyin had to take to reach his current level of strength was certainly not ordinary! For a split second, she felt as if she was touching the heart of a divinity. The urge to submit originated from her True Soul, but its love for her allowed her to freely choose to do so, and this comforted her to indescribable levels.
Eden wasn"t the only existence with profound mysteries yet to be fully explored. For example, Kratos had an Unseen Divinity form of a True Dragon. Not even Wei Wuyin could perceive it unless he used the Celestial Eyes of Spiritual Divinity.
None of Wei Wuyin"s Spirits of Cultivation were ordinary. The most shocking was King somehow birthing the Law of Saber, something that not even the Heavenly War Spirit can explain, and Omega Energy.
"Idiot!" Mei Mei pulled her hand away and chided Wei Wuyin. "It doesn"t have to be right now! I"m too young to have a child right now, and you"re too busy to help raise one. I refuse to have the child of an absentee father." Despite her words, Wei Wuyin could acutely sense otherwise as he heard her thoughts.
"You"ll be a great father, I know it. The greatest. That"s why I really want your child no-"
He hastily severed her words midway, refusing to violate Mei Mei"s thoughts in such a way, actively fuzzing her thoughts to be incomprehensible to him. It was one thing to sense emotions and feelings; these can be gathered by studying body language, vocal tones, and facial expressions. However, it was entirely different to "hear" someone"s thoughts.
"I"m just telling you what I want. You just have to agree or disagree with the possibility. Don"t make things too complicated," her complexion spontaneously grew healthier as Wei Wuyin"s yang essence a.s.sisted her stabilization of body and mind.
"...If fate allows, I don"t see the issue with it in the future." Wei Wuyin brightly smiled as he leaned back on the headboard. He wanted many beautiful wives and a great, world-reaching business. This was one of his earliest dreams. This included rebuilding the Wei Clan one day.
Mei Mei"s eyes brightened. While it wasn"t a direct "yes", it wasn"t a hard "no"! "That"s all I expected from you. I"ll once again say, I don"t have any intention of leaving here. This is my new home and I love it.
"As for figuring out a way that I can give birth without dying. I"m sure Lord Worldly Alchemist has a plan just in case you"re ready to impregnate your dozens of lovers." She wasn"t stupid enough to not make preparations for herself. Moreover, the idea of dying before even forming a fetus was harrowing. It wasn"t as acceptable as dying in childbirth, as long as your child can live, many wouldn"t hesitate to die for them. However, before the child could even form? That was ridiculous!
"Haha," Wei Wuyin looked at the ceiling. "Yeah, Boss. You"ll have to cultivate diligently though. Moreover, you"ll have to start back from the beginning. Without a strong body, mind, and soul, it"ll be extremely difficult. If it wasn"t, wouldn"t I have babies everywhere by now? I am, ahem, after all, the Ascendant Emperor!"
"Oh? Here I thought you were the Saber Ascendant. Do you have saber babies that I don"t know about?" Mei Mei rolled her eyes.
"Urk," Wei Wuyin"s face twisted as he recalled that t.i.tle all those years ago when he was in the Qi Condensation Realm. It didn"t catch on. Who would have thought that she would remember? Coughing lightly, "Another round?"
"Sure! Let"s make it two." Mei Mei jumped over Wei Wuyin, her hand snaking downwards already. There was a newfound desire in her eyes. It felt as if she wanted to ride the lap of a divinity rather than a dragon.
"Three!" Wei Wuyin added as he grabbed her waist and stuffed his body between two of the world"s most natural pillows.
-----
While they had settled on leaving the decision for later, should fate allow, in the vast river of time, another Wei Wuyin and another Mei Mei had a slightly different decision, off a slightly different choice, creating a wildly different scene.
Wei Wuyin hadn"t blocked off Mei Mei"s thoughts. In the end, he agreed.
"Be the mother of my child, Mei Mei. Come with me to the world beyond the stars. See it with me, as my wife," that Wei Wuyin asked as his thoughts changed subtly, thinking how to handle Mei Mei"s cultivation throughout his travels to the Blessed Yri Empire. Moreover, how he should undo his bias toward non-virgin women being his wife.
For the first time, Wei Wuyin had referred to Mei Mei by her name. And Mei Mei had her heart moved and her hope ignited, and she replied with loving excitement and hot tears with a straightforward and loud: "Okay!"
