A LV8 player's pregnancy cycle was completely different from a normal girl's. It depended on the speed at which the fetus absorbed nutrients from the mother's body.
Reproduction was the most basic and mysterious law of nature. Even someone as powerful as them could not escape from this law of nature.
After the fetus was formed, it would continuously absorb nutrients from the mother's body. During this time, it would also obtain an extremely powerful bloodline inheritance. Because the bloodlines of high-grade players were exceptionally powerful, most fragile babies would not be able to withstand it. Many of them would even explode in their initial fertilized state. This was why high-grade players found it difficult to reproduce.
However, as long as their descendants were successfully born, they would meet all the requirements to become players. At that time, as long as they went to the player assessment, found a player carrier, and fused with it, they would become players that many people could only dream of.
Ming Xu's soul was the only thing left in her body. All other auras had disappeared, and only the purest Dong Ling bloodline was left.
Li Xiang gently stroked her stomach and quickly felt the child's pulse. Her little body was wrapped in his own aura. It was this aura that had been separated from Ming Xu's body and fused with the child's body that protected her.
Otherwise, with Ming Xu's powerful bloodline suppression, this child would not have been able to survive.
After becoming pregnant, even though she knew that with her strength, the child would definitely be safe, Ming Xu's natural motherly instincts still made her change back to her original cold and quiet self.
While Li Xiang was creating the Disaster Weapon, she sat quietly on the side, leaning against the recliner and gently stroking her stomach. She was willing to spend the entire day thinking of a name for her child, but she had already thought of over a hundred names.
"Li Xiang … What's a good name for our baby?" Ming Xu rubbed her slightly protruding belly and smiled sweetly. Her two little feet swayed in the air, bringing about waves of cool and refreshing air.
"As long as you like it." Li Xiang lowered his head and continued to polish the crimson sword in his hand. The two ends of the blade were incomparably sharp, and there were countless runes engraved on it. The entire blade emitted a transparent, glass-like color.
"She's a girl … but I don't like soft girls. I hope that she can be like her father and become a player that countless people fear and respect. I hope that she can become a player who dares to fight against the Calamities, dares to challenge a Level 9, and dares to fight to the end for her life."
Ming Xu looked up expectantly.
"I can live the life I want."
"Just like her mother, she's willing to do anything for the person she loves. She's a heroine who doesn't lose out to men." Li Xiang added. He didn't expect that Ming Xu would want his daughter to become such a person.
Daring to love, daring to hate, daring to disregard personal safety.
"Xinyi, how is Li Xinyi?" He suddenly raised his head, put down the machine in his hand, and looked at Ming Xu.
"Xin … Xinyi?" Ming Xu tilted her head and looked at the words that Li Xiang wrote in the air with charcoal. Sparks flew and slowly dissipated with the wind. "What does it mean?"
Li Xiang nodded and said with a smile, "Xinyi is the name of a medicinal herb. It also has another name, Mulan. In the Blue Star era, there was a popular story called Mulan …"
He briefly told Ming Xu the story of Mulan.
Ming Xu nodded as she listened. She felt that the name was not bad, so she decided to use it.
She touched her belly and felt the pulse of her daughter inside. She felt that it was very magical.
She could clearly feel that her daughter was absorbing nutrients, sleeping, or playing. They were connected by blood, and every movement could not escape her senses.
.....
Half a year later, Li Xiang successfully created his Disaster weapon, a crimson transparent longsword called "Eternal Purgatory."
It was surrounded by a terrifying Disaster aura, and its sharpness and hardness were comparable to Heaven of Annihilation and Lunar Shadow Frost. With it, Li Xiang also had close combat skills. During this time, he asked Ming Xu for guidance on assassination and close combat skills.
Ming Xu was getting more and more sleepy. Sometimes, she would only be awake for a few hours a day. Part of the reason was that the Xinyi in her stomach was showing signs of birth, and it was crazily absorbing her energy and nutrients. Another part of the reason was that she was close to breaking through to Level 9.
It was unbelievable that she was going to break through to Level 9 from Level 8 in half a year. During this time, she did not even experience a big battle. She only occasionally sparred with Li Xiang, and Li Xiang also used the insights he gained from fighting with her to advance to Level 6 first.
Level 6 was the threshold for high-level players. Stepping into this level meant that there was a possibility of advancing to Level 9, but it also meant that every subsequent level would be harder than all the previous levels combined.
Aside from Ming Xu, Li Xiang had become the first player of the younger generation to reach the level of a high-tiered player. When this news spread to the outside world, it did not cause much of a stir. Everyone seemed to have long since gotten used to Li Xiang's terrifying strength.
As time went by, his cultivation speed was far ahead of his peers. Even Bai Dongxue, who was once known as the number one genius, was no exception.
The latter was only at Level 5, but among the younger generation, she was already a rare existence. Looking further back, the strongest among Mi Cha's group of proud sons and daughters was only at Level 3.
Li Xiang and Ming Xu quietly enjoyed this rare time together. They had known each other for so long, and had been together for so long, but this was the only time they could truly be alone. There were no worries, and there were no other burdens on their bodies. It made him want to spend the rest of his life like this.
During this time, only Ye Tong came by once. Everyone else had a tacit understanding not to disturb them.
Seeing Ye Tong's legs recover, Li Xiang thought about his past life and his current life. He felt like he owed his sister too much.
She had always been an obedient canary in the Bai Family for his sake. Now that her wings were fully grown, she could soar into the sky. There were no more barriers between the siblings, but for various reasons, they could not see each other.
Especially that time at the Great Wall of Disaster. Ye Tong had almost thought that she would never see him again. If it weren't for Bai Dongxue stopping her, she would have rushed to the Great Wall of Disaster.
A few days ago, when she came over to play, she heard that her niece was about to be born. She was overjoyed. Not long after, she spread the news to Li Xiang's small circle.
In a short time, countless invitations came to his door. Li Xiang could only deal with them one by one with a bitter expression. Ming Xu's condition made it impossible for him to meet other people, so he rejected them one by one. In the end, he only decided to meet Chen Fan and Ji Yanqing, who were also husband and wife.
Another month had passed by the time the couple arrived at the Gemini territory. The large airship docked at the port, and the two of them walked quietly through the forest with their daughter, Chen Xuanxuan.
Chen Xuanxuan was five years old, but she was still clinging to her father like a koala bear. Chen Fan's face was no longer tender, and there was a hint of the vicissitudes of life and the temperament of a man. He was no longer the glib-tongued young man.
After Ji Zhanxue's death, the Military Police was reorganized. General Othello and the old chairman's people carried out a great purge of the military, and at the same time, they officially submitted an application for independence.
Originally, the military was under the dual leadership of the Katashafi Committee and Wessex. Many times, the orders were chaotic, and the internal system was rotten to the core. They had gathered a powerful force for nothing, but they couldn't use it.
This time, the invasion of the seven continents made the military deeply aware of the problems with the system. As an important power that kept the five Monarchs and the three major powers in check, they shouldn't have deep connections with any other power.
This application for independence received the support of the five Monarchs and the aristocratic family alliance. As for Wessex, Cecilia naturally wouldn't object since she was one of their own.
When they applied for independence, the military also brought in a large number of young military officers who had performed outstandingly in the past few battles. Some old men and old women who had been lazing around in their positions without doing anything were abdicated and promoted to various important positions.
Chen Fan was one of the biggest winners in this wave of change.
He was transferred to the south and promoted to the rank of Brigadier General. This meant that he was the first person to be promoted to the rank of General. At the same time, he also held the position of Deputy Minister of the Southern Military Police Headquarters. Ji Yanqing also left the Katashafi Committee and joined the military as Chen Fan's Chief of Staff.
Over the years, with the destruction of the tarot cards, many people from the evil faction were killed. The remaining few, such as Chen Fei, disappeared without a trace. After Ji Yanqing got her revenge, she was influenced by her husband and joined the military family, fighting for the remaining humans.
Li Xiang was sincerely happy that his friend had embarked on the path that he wanted to take the most in his previous life.
Chen Fan and Ji Yanqing came to their little house in the forest and couldn't help but look envious. They also wanted to live such a carefree life, but now wasn't the time. Chen Fan was steadily rising in the military and he could use the military's power to completely change some of the problems in the seven continents. Retreating at the last moment wasn't a good choice.
"Wah wah wah, Auntie Mingxu really has a baby! Xuanxuan is going to be a big sister! " Chen Xuanxuan flew into Ming Xu's arms and hugged her intimately. She used her little head to rub her belly and talked to Li Xinyi inside. Chen Fan felt a headache coming on.
He always felt that this daughter of his was getting harder to discipline as she grew older. In the past, she was afraid of Ji Yanqing, her mother. Now, she was bold and fearless. When something happened, she would pretend to be pitiful.
A few years ago, the only person who could completely suppress her was the cold and scary Ming Xu.
But now, Ming Xu's face was filled with happiness. Without that layer of icy coldness, Chen Xuanxuan wasn't afraid anymore.
"When the baby is born, can Xuanxuan hug her?" Chen Xuanxuan looked at Ming Xu with wide eyes. "Aunt Ming Xu won't like Xuanxuan in the future, right?"
This little girl, she knew how to fight for favor at such a young age!
Li Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He led Chen Fan and Ji Yanqing into the house while Ming Xu accompanied Chen Xuanxuan to play outside.
After closing the door, the smiles of the three people gradually disappeared.
Chen Fan wanted to say something but stopped. Li Xiang knew what he wanted to say. He didn't say anything and waited quietly.
Chen Fan hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he still couldn't say it. Ji Yanqing, on the other hand, had a free and easy personality. She directly asked, "Ming Xu … did she succeed in Descending?"
After this sentence was asked, Chen Fan heaved a sigh of relief. He knew what this meant and how big of a blow it was to Li Xiang. But he also understood that Li Xiang didn't want to see anyone, but he asked the couple to come over just to let them see this.
Ming Xu's aura was too terrifying.
"Level 9. She should break through to level 9 in the next few days. I don't know when the Descending will be completed, but it seems that it will be done when Xin Yi is born." Li Xiang nodded and said in a low voice, "She has felt it herself. You don't have to be so careful. Or rather, she should know better than anyone."
From the very beginning, Ming Xu had realized that his awakening might be the last hurdle for him.
Bai Lili had never failed. Since she was sure that she would succeed in Descending, she would succeed.
But there was a small deviation in the middle, or it could be said that this was within her expectations.
No matter how strong Ming Xu's body was, it was still difficult to accommodate a soul above level 9.
And she had the aura of the Mother Goddess, which was also troublesome.
Bai Lili's solution was simple. She would pretend that the Descending had failed and then reside in her body. She would quietly wait for Ming Xu's soul and the aura of the Mother Goddess to disappear and return to the Gate of Eternity. At the same time, she would slowly transform her body so that she could successfully break through to level 9 and be able to fully accommodate her soul.
This way, she could also indirectly deceive those level 9 souls who were about to return.
And when everything was ready, she could safely get through this most dangerous time.
It would also be the last time for Li Xiang and Ming Xu.
"Is there no way to stop it? D * mn it, this is a form of torture for you. " Chen Fan hammered the table. As a husband and father, he understood better than anyone the torment and pain Li Xiang was suffering.
He had such a blissful life, but in the end, it was all for naught.
"No, the root of the problem is still Ming Xu. She died that day. It was Bai Lili's Descending that activated the last trace of consciousness hidden in her body. But looking at her recent state, this trace of consciousness will gradually return to the Gate of Eternity with the mark of the Mother Goddess. At that time, the current Ming Xu is just an empty shell, an empty shell that houses Bai Lili's soul. "Li Xiang shook his head.
"Then what do you plan to do?" Ji Yanqing took a breath and listened to Ming Xu and Chen Xuanxuan's laughter outside. She said lightly, "What about her, after Descending, what does she plan to do?"
"What she wants has always been the new world that only exists in her heart, the perfect world. After Descending, she will probably start a war with the seven continents. As for me … I will go to the Gate of Eternity. " Li Xiang looked at her. "Find the Sanyuan Pillar God and take back Ming Xu's soul. This is the only way."
"You're crazy …" Chen Fan was shocked, then sighed and said faintly, "Forget it, I will definitely go. If it's the Li Xiang I know, then what can I do for you?"
"I'll leave the new Polar night to you, and this place as well."
"What about Xin Yi?" Ji Yanqing could not help but ask.
"She will go to the sea of stars with me. If she is here, sooner or later, she will be used as a bargaining chip by the level 9 souls against Bai Lili. At that time, you will definitely not be able to protect her."
Li Xiang looked out the window and said firmly.
