Liu Ying's eyes sparkled, her complex gaze falling on Ling Yao.
Yin Ming immediately understood; she must have recognized Ling Yao.
However, Liu Ying didn't say much to Ling Yao. Instead, she carefully frowned and pondered for a moment before slowly speaking:
"This is the first time I've ever seen a person who has been a combination of a god and a demon successfully give birth to offspring."
Yin Ming's brow twitched as he keenly grasped the word 'success'.
It seems that, just as he had thought, there was more than one child in the world with a divine and demonic physique, but they all died young.
Sure enough, Firefly continued, "Over the years, I have seen countless couples from different races unite, and many of them have given birth to new lives."
"From the moment the fetus is formed, the spiritual and resentful energies of heaven and earth will continuously flow into the mother's womb, causing the mother to be immersed in the immense pain caused by the collision of true energy within her body at every moment."
"Those women who could not withstand the torment of true energy, no matter how reluctant they were, had no choice but to remove the fetus from their bodies."
"Those who insist on not removing it often end up dying from the mother's ruptured meridians, resulting in the death of both mother and child."
Would the spiritual and resentful energies of heaven and earth continuously flow into the mother's womb? As if he had thought of something, Yin Ming quickly lowered his eyebrows to hide the strange look in his eyes.
This is probably because the fetus in the womb possesses both divine and demonic constitutions, and since they lack sentience, they only subconsciously absorb external vital energy, resulting in this unusual phenomenon.
Having figured out the key point, Yin Ming was surprised.
It was originally thought that children born from the union of gods and demons would suffer torment until they died after birth, but it turns out that this suffering began as soon as they were born into the mother's womb, and even affected the mother.
Looking at it this way, one can only imagine the immense risks Chu Ya must have taken to give birth to Ling Yao.
Indeed, no matter the world, a mother's love remains as great as ever.
“I explained the pros and cons to Chu Ya, but she was very determined to give birth to the child.”
"Fortunately, her cultivation level was high, and she was able to barely suppress the damage to her body caused by the spiritual and resentful energies, and she passed through the childbirth process without any major dangers."
"But none of us expected that this was just the beginning—"
"We previously thought that this strange phenomenon was simply because the union of gods and demons was against the will of Heaven, and Heaven would naturally send down some inexplicable calamities as a test."
"As long as I can successfully give birth to the child, everything will surely pass."
"In the end, I was too optimistic." As if recalling the dangers involved, Liu Ying unconsciously frowned.
"It wasn't until the child was born that we realized the strange phenomenon was actually due to his demigod-like constitution."
Just as I expected.
Yin Ming pursed his lips and couldn't help but sigh in regret.
Yes, the book explicitly states that the birth of the male protagonist, a combination of god and demon, is unprecedented in the entire continent of gods and demons.
How could Liu Ying and the others have known that the child Chu Ya gave birth to after such a difficult ordeal possessed such a demigod-like constitution, and that the child's condition was even more critical after leaving the mother's womb—
Such a small baby simply does not have the ability to suppress the chaotic true energy within its body.
If they had known from the beginning that this would be the outcome, they probably wouldn't have insisted on giving birth to this child, watching Chu Ya suffer and the child suffer even more.
As Yin Ming was lost in thought, he suddenly felt the slender fingers that had been holding his hand tighten abruptly.
Noticing Lingyao's emotional fluctuations, Yin Ming immediately tightened his grip on his hand and looked up to give him a comforting look.
Lingyao lowered her eyes to meet Yin Ming's gaze, and after a long while, she gently curled the corners of her lips into a faint, absent-minded smile.
Yin Ming knew he was feeling unwell, but he didn't know what to say to comfort him. He could only silently move closer to him and continue listening to Liu Ying speak:
"While the fetus is still in the mother's womb, the mother's body can share the burden and protect the fetus. After birth, the fetus is completely unable to protect itself."
"I couldn't bear to see the couple sacrifice half of their dantian to create a barrier to protect the baby, so I stepped in and cast a spell on the baby to keep him safe for a month."
"Looking back now, perhaps the tragedy was destined from the beginning." Liu Ying's tone suddenly became heavy.
Seeing the rare look of reluctance on her face, Yin Ming immediately guessed what she was about to say—it must be the plot familiar to readers of the original work.
"How can a one-month period be enough for a newborn baby? Seeing that I had previously been able to help, they were grasping at a straw and begging me to save the child."
“I remembered that the Demonic Sect had a secret technique that could seal the child’s dantian, at least to protect him from the torment of his internal energy running rampant in his body, so I told them the truth.”
“As the sect leader of the Demon Sect, Ling Ji is also familiar with the sect’s secret techniques. After a moment’s thought, he confirmed my idea.”
"However, after using this secret technique, the child will never be able to cultivate again. Otherwise, once the seal is broken, the child will die instantly."
"Then they both knelt down again, their eyes red, and asked me if there was any other better way."
Yin Ming nodded to himself. Yes, as the descendant of the sect leaders of the two major sects of gods and demons, how could Ling Yao face those open and hidden attacks if he didn't have any cultivation?
In the world of gods and demons, strength has always been paramount, and this phenomenon is even more pronounced within sects.
If Lingyao were a complete Muggle, he would probably die in some kind of accident before he even reached adulthood.
Don't say things like he has no cultivation and poses no threat to anyone, or that anyone with nothing better to do would take his life.
Given his status, as long as he exists, he will inevitably be an eyesore to some people.
For example, there's the elder who emphasizes inheritance, and the villain from the original work who's always eyeing the story.
Don't expect Chu Ya and Ling Ji to protect him and keep him safe for life. No one can be by anyone's side 24 hours a day. There will always be times when they are negligent.
Even if Chu Ya and Ling Ji retire to the mountains and live a life of seclusion, it all depends on whether Ling Yao is willing.
Actually, there was no need to ask Lingyao's opinion first. You could tell from what they did for Lingyao that they loved their child very much.
How could they bear to let him become a caged bird, confined to this small world with them?
Parents always want to give their children the best.
They will offer the best to their children and remove all obstacles in their way.
Spare no effort.
