On the other side, after Gu Ze'an closed the door, a muffled "bang" sound was heard.

Xie Qi slowly withdrew his gaze and turned helplessly to 948, who had been sitting by the window since returning from the hospital, with a sad face, as if he was doubting his life.

He couldn't bear it any longer and couldn't help but say, "Hey, how long are you going to be emo?"

At this moment, 948 was sitting motionless by the window, staring at the sapphire-blue sky outside the window, as if trying to find the answer from it.

After a long while, he slowly turned his head and looked at Xie Qi, and replied in a heavy tone: "Host, I now have deep doubts about the so-called fast-travel rules that I have learned."

After hearing 948's words, Xie Qi's face showed a hint of doubt, and he asked, "Quick Transmigration Law? What is that? Why have I never heard you mention it before?"

948 He slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on Xie Qi, a complex emotion in his eyes. He gently flapped his wings and flew to the table next to Xie Qi. After standing firm, he cleared his throat and began to explain in detail to Xie Qi.

"Article 2134 of the Fast Travel Laws clearly stipulates that while carrying out the Fast Travel mission, the host must absolutely not violate the laws of reincarnation in each plane. In simple terms, the number of people reincarnated in each small world is known and controlled by the Heavenly Dao. If the number of reincarnations changes, even the slightest change, the Heavenly Dao will keenly detect the abnormality. Once discovered, the Heavenly Dao will ruthlessly eliminate the superfluous ones!"

At this point, 948 couldn't help but sigh deeply, as if his heart was filled with worry and helplessness.

After a brief pause, 948 continued, "Precisely because of this, to prevent tragedy, the Lord God has specially set up a defense line at the entrance to the Quick Travel Realm. Anyone who becomes a host, no matter which world or under what circumstances, will never leave behind any offspring. So... according to common sense, it's impossible for you two to have children. If you did... then to this world, this child would undoubtedly be superfluous. I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish his words, Xie Qi interrupted 948 and asked, "You're afraid he'll be wiped out by the Heavenly Dao, right?"

After asking this question, Xie Qi stared at 948 closely, and said nothing more. At this moment, his heart seemed to have instantly fallen into a bottomless abyss, a darkness that was piercingly cold.

He had never imagined that the child he'd cherished with such joy and hope could be cruelly wiped out by fate. Upon hearing the news, he was instantly overwhelmed by endless sorrow and pain. However, a moment later, his heart was replaced by an incomparable resolve.

No matter how difficult the situation is, he will try his best to protect the one he loves.

Xie Qi took a deep breath, as if trying to absorb all his worries and anxieties. After calming down a little, he slowly asked, "Has this happened before in your group?"

Hearing Xie Qi's question, 948 first raised his head and looked at him, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly, as if he had made up his mind, "...Yes, according to the records in the space-time dossier, there was once a host who unexpectedly became pregnant before traveling to another small world. However, she was unaware of this at the time. It was not until she entered the small world that she discovered she was pregnant and eventually gave birth to the child there."

"However, the birth of this child is not recognized by the Heavenly Dao of that small world. Heaven will use various accidents to prevent this child from living past the age of one. If by chance he survives the first year, he will die on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony. Moreover, this child, who is not recognized by Heaven, will be rejected by Heaven and unable to reincarnate. No place in this world will be able to accept this child's soul. He will drift in the cracks of time and space for eternity, forgotten by everyone, and become a lonely soul."

948 Every word he spoke was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing huge waves in Xie Qi's heart. His heart, which had been hanging in the air, sank into the bottomless abyss bit by bit as the words fell.

He never expected the consequences to be so serious, so serious that he even had the idea of ​​not wanting this child to be born. He didn't want his child to suffer endless pain.

As if it could see through Xie Qi's inner thoughts, 948 immediately added after noticing his thoughts: "Host, even a life still in the embryonic state has a soul." These words were like a lightning that pierced through the darkness and struck the depths of Xie Qi's heart.

Hearing this, Xie Qi was stunned for a moment, then fell into a long silence. As time passed, the air around him seemed to freeze, making people feel suffocated.

Finally, after a fierce ideological struggle, Xie Qi asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "So...what happened next? Is the child born by that host still alive?"

At this moment, Xie Qi's eyes revealed an extremely earnest expectation. He wanted so desperately to get a positive answer, a piece of news that could give him some comfort.

However, in the face of Xie Qi's expectant question, 948 didn't answer immediately. He simply tilted his head slightly, gazing at Xie Qi's face, which had turned slightly pale with nervousness, as if considering how to reveal the truth to him.

Time seemed extremely long at this moment, and every second was a torture for Xie Qi.

After a long moment, 948 finally broke the unbearable silence and slowly said, "...alive."

Those two simple words, at that moment, sounded like the sound of nature. Xie Qi's tense nerves instantly relaxed. He let out a long breath, a relieved smile spreading across his face. He murmured softly, "Still alive... That means we're not at the end of our rope yet. This isn't the first time I've fought against the Heavenly Dao. If I have to protect a child from its pressure, I think I have a good chance of doing so."

Although Xie Qi tried hard to make his tone sound light-hearted and cheerful, his trembling voice still betrayed his true feelings.

948 quietly watched Xie Qi's pained expression, his heart filled with anxiety and worry. He quickly flew to Xie Qi's side and comforted him, "Host, don't be too sad. Perhaps there are other possibilities. The quick travel rule is not necessarily correct..."

After 948 finished speaking, he stayed beside Xie Qi silently. He sighed and thought to himself: "It's not the first time anyway, I can do it."

What 948 did not confess to Xie Qi was that the child who was rejected by the heaven and is still alive is actually Xie Qi himself.
