As Li Su'er's due date drew closer, Chen Yang became increasingly nervous.
The child is fully developed and would be healthy even if born now.
The due date is just a due date, and the baby may not actually be born in those few days.
However, just two weeks before Li Su'er's due date, Weijie suddenly gave Chen Yang a hint.
"Because the Realm Lord inherited the Land Beyond the Realm, it is requested that the Realm Lord's spouse give birth within the Land Beyond the Realm, otherwise the offspring will not be able to inherit the essence of the Realm Lord's soul."
The prompt from the micro-world was somewhat unexpected for Chen Yang.
Although he originally intended for Li Su'er to be a creature in the outer realm, the hint from the micro-realm seemed to have a different meaning.
It seems that his own child is neither an Earthling nor a resident of the Microverse, but rather a person from beyond the boundary.
"If a descendant of the Realm Lord is born in the outer realm, his soul will naturally be in harmony with the outer realm and automatically absorb the energy of the outer realm to grow."
Microworld provided another hint, answering Chen Yang's question.
"What if you weren't born outside the boundary?" Chen Yang couldn't help but ask again.
"The child will be unable to inherit the essence of the Realm Lord's soul, and will have an innate intellectual disability," the Micro Realm replied once again.
Chen Yang frowned. Didn't that mean they would give birth to an idiot?
In that case, they would have to be born outside the boundary.
Is it because my soul has merged with the outer realm, so that I can't inherit my soul essence if I'm not in the outer realm?
Chen Yang couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
However, the hint from the Microverse does illustrate a point: children inherit not only their parents' genes but also their souls. Perhaps the reason the Microverse distinguishes between its inhabitants and Earthlings is precisely because of the difference in the essence of their souls.
The two can interact, but they belong to different places. It's like your hometown and the city where you work. You might stay in the city where you work longer, but your hometown is your hometown. You're from Hujian, you won't become a Northeasterner.
Since the micro-realm has said so, Chen Yang has no choice but to keep Li Su'er away from the outer area for the next few days.
The facility outside the boundary only had a nursery, not a delivery room. Therefore, he temporarily converted the room in his RV into a delivery room and prepared everything he needed.
Chen Liu also took leave from the superhumans' side to come and chat with Li Su'er. He also wanted to see his younger brother born as soon as possible, since the task of taking care of and educating his brother would fall on his shoulders in the future.
Chen Yang was too casual, and Li Su'er was too unreliable; neither could be trusted. Chen Liu had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.
Chen Liu had already made a plan, and even learned how to change diapers and apply baby powder. He planned to take care of his younger brother in the Micro Realm for a long time. To be honest, he was sometimes really bored in the Micro Realm because Chen Yang, Li Su'er, and Mo Xi didn't want him to study all the time, so he couldn't find anything to do.
Chen Liu not only learned how to take care of children, but also how to take care of pregnant women. These past few days, he has taken good care of Li Su'er, and even cooked nutritious porridge for her.
Chen Yang's mother wanted to come and take care of Li Su'er, but Chen Yang persuaded her to go back and instead asked Lini to take care of her. Chen Yang's mother only helped out in the micro-world.
Originally, Chen Yang had suggested that they shouldn't enter the micro-realm for the next few days, but Li Su'er insisted that she wanted her child to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible before birth. Moreover, she was certain she would sense the impending birth.
Li Su'er entered the micro-realm, and Chen Yang will be able to help her gather spiritual energy again.
These past two days, Chen Yang has been paying extra attention to the child's condition. The child's spirit is indeed more active, seemingly radiating a kind of longing, a life-force-driven longing.
He noticed that he could feel the pull of his soul and the call of his bloodline; what Li Su'er held in her arms was the inheritance of his life.
"The Realm Lord's spouse will give birth in 24 hours. Please leave the Micro Realm within ten minutes."
Li Su'er was sunbathing and rubbing her belly when a notification suddenly popped up in front of her.
Chen Yang, who was helping to make wooden chairs, also received the news and looked at Li Su'er.
"Su'er, how do you feel?"
"No," Li Su'er said, also somewhat puzzled.
“The micro-world shouldn’t be making any mistakes. You can log out now, and I’ll come out to keep you company right away,” Chen Yang said to Li Su’er.
Li Su'er nodded obediently, looking somewhat bewildered.
She thought she was fully prepared, both mentally and physically, to welcome this little life. She never imagined that with the baby about to be born, she would feel so helpless.
After saying goodbye to his family, Chen Yang immediately left.
As soon as he exited, he noticed something amiss.
The space was shaking, and air currents were gathering towards Li Su'er.
It wasn't air, but spiritual energy and the aura of many other elements. Chen Yang could sense that these auras were all familiar, originating from him.
He had long since merged with the Outer Boundary, which was why he could control it and even make it independent of the Microverse and Earth.
In other words, his soul essence has long been integrated into the realm beyond the boundary, and if a child is born and wants to inherit his soul essence, then that means inheriting a part of the realm beyond the boundary, and naturally receiving the blessing of the realm beyond the boundary.
"Alien Yang, I'm so scared."
Although Li Su'er couldn't sense any spiritual energy, she could feel something strange in her stomach, which filled her with fear.
Chen Yang gently hugged Li Su'er and said, "It's alright, our child is inheriting the essence of my soul."
"The essence of the soul?" Li Su'er was somewhat puzzled, because Chen Yang had not explained this issue to her in detail.
“Yes, he will inherit my soul, and my soul has merged into the outer realm, so he will be a minor realm lord from birth,” Chen Yang said with a smile.
Li Su'er blinked, and the fear in her heart dissipated considerably.
Being born a minor world lord seems pretty good; at least so far, there haven't been any downsides to being a world lord.
"We have 23 hours and 50 minutes left," Chen Yang said, glancing at his watch.
Since the micro-realm said it had been twenty-four hours, it should have disappeared in twenty-four. So he didn't wake Lini up, but waited with Li Su'er in the outer realm, feeling the aura of all things in the outer realm flow into the little life in Li Su'er's belly.
Just then, Chen Yang suddenly noticed something unusual and saw something familiar.
A ball of light, radiating a soft glow, was the very ball of light that appeared after his soul's baptism, only now it had undergone some changes, seemingly becoming more vibrant.
The light sphere split into a smaller light sphere, which floated in front of Li Su'er.
Li Su'er couldn't see the ball of light, but she sensed a warm aura that made her feel at ease.
Chen Yang instinctively tried to grab it, but missed, and the ball of light disappeared into Li Su'er's stomach.
