Chapter 80 - Birth Of A New Race (III)
Looking at the creature in front of him, Ling Chen's heart couldn't help but beat faster. He was very sure that he had never seen such a beautiful creature ever in his life.
How should I describe it?
The small creature that came out of the black Lightning fruit of creation looked exactly like a human baby except for some slight modification.
His fair and delicate baby's skin was smooth and sparkly just like jelly; the veins beneath his skin could be vaguely seen.
Aside from his golden eyes that were vertical slits like a vicious predator, the most striking details that differentiated the small baby from a regular human baby was a pair of tiny curly horns on his forehead as well as his pointy ears.
Besides these three non-human characteristics, the baby looked exactly like a human baby. He didn't have any wings behind his back or a tail. He was very human-like.
Furthermore, his hair was unexpectedly like that of an evil demon's uncanny bright red color. Ling Chen had never seen people in the Heaven Desolate Region that were born with such red hair.
Contrary to a regular newborn baby, his eyes were wide open. His red crimson hair and long eyelashes were already grown. His two tiny hands were holding onto the broken shells of the black Lightning fruit of creation, and he kept putting them in his mouth, making "kacha" sounds as he chewed.
Moreover, He already had teeth, and they seemed very white just like those baby teeth of an ordinary child. However, Ling Chen knew that he wasn't normal. How could a baby that was just born had a full set of white teeth?
Still, Ling Chen had never felt this type of profound happiness and joy when he laid his eyes on the baby.
The moment He saw the baby safely broke out the black Lightning fruit of creation, he felt incomparably relieved. In that instant, he felt unusual and for a moment, he felt that the entire world became really beautiful. It was an indescribable feeling.
He never realized what true Joy was until he saw the baby came out of the black Lightning fruit of creation.
There was an explosion in his brain... the good sort... the type that carried more possibilities than he could be conscious of... but there were hundreds of ideas there in that buzz of electricity... he could feel it.
At this moment, Ling Chen didn't even dare to move. He just stood there watching the baby eating the rest of the shells of the black Lightning fruit of creation while letting the happiness soaked right into his bones.
He could feel it pass through his body and soul like a warm ocean wave, washing away the stress of his day and left him refreshed inside. He wanted that feeling to still be there even after a thousand years. He had the urge to close his eyes and savored the moment. For the first time in forever his body and mind were relaxed.
Looking at the small baby, Ling Chen felt a deep and profound connection with him, like he was a part of him. For some unknown reason, he no longer felt alone and isolated anymore.
The way Ling Chen felt about the small baby, he's never felt it towards anyone before, not even his father. He never knew that he could love someone to this extent, to the point where that love even transcended the love he felt towards himself. It was like the life of the small baby was more important than his own.
He felt at peace and felt as if he didn't want anything in the world as long as he had him.
Ling Chen has the urge to protect the small baby with every fiber of his being and made sure that no harm would come to him. At the same time, he wanted to spoil him and gave him everything he ever wanted.
Ka cha!
While Ling Chen was affectionately looking at the small baby, he didn't even pay him any mind as he was concentrating on eating the broken shells of the black Lightning fruit on the ground. This sight was rather cute.
At this moment, Ling Chen wondered if his mother had felt the same way he was feeling right now when he was born. This feeling of happiness and joy flowed throughout his body like adrenaline. It was as if his whole life suddenly made sense and had a purpose.
Soon, the small brat was done eating every single broken shell of the black lighting fruit of creation. At the same time, Ling Chen could feel a powerful life force coming from his small body. Despite just being born, the small baby had the strength comparable to that of an early Martial Master realm warrior.
After the little brat was done eating the broken shells on the ground, he finally shifted his gaze towards Ling Chen's projection.
And with a gentle and innocent smile on his face, he yelled" mama" as he stood up and walked towards Ling Chen.
Yep, despite just being born, the small baby was already able to walk as well saying the word mama.
" Nope, call me dada instead." Ling Chen said as he moved towards the small baby as well. Because he was just a projection at the moment, he couldn't touch the baby no matter how hard he tried.
"Mama." Yelled our the baby in a childish voice as he was trying to hold onto Ling Chen's leg which was illusionary.
Ohh shit!
Listening to the baby called him mama, Ling Chen finally realized that he was too young to be a father. He hadn't even grown any pubic hair, yet he had the audacity to ask the baby to call him dada.
" Scratch that, call me brother." Ling Chen quickly corrected himself. However, the small baby refused to call him that.
" Mama" Shouted the baby again while he was looking at Ling Chen with a confused look on his small delicate face.
Swoosh!
While Ling Chen was trying to get the baby to call him brother, he suddenly disappeared within his sea of consciousness.
However, Ling Chen didn't panic. Due to his deep connection with the small baby, he already knew where disappeared to.
Without wasting any time, Ling Chen quickly left his sea of consciousness and dove within his lower-dantian.
Within his lower-dantian.....
The small baby was surrounded by an endless amount of dark tree roots. It was as though they were trying to swallow him. However, as the dark tree root was part of his nascent soul, Ling Chen knew that it wasn't the case. They didn't mean any harm to the baby.
Soon, the small baby's body was nowhere to be seen as it was completely engulfed with endless dark tree roots.
Suddenly,
Crackle! Crackle!"
A burst of thunder sounded as the small baby crazily unleashed a relentless torrent of black lightning. Such fierce and destructive black lightning could render anyone to ashes. However, in the presence of the endless dark tree roots, they couldn't amount to anything nor were they capable of destroying them. It didn't matter how terrorizing and powerful these bolts black of lightning were.
These thick streaks of black lightning continue to soar like crazed dragons with thunderous explosions everywhere, bombarding the endless dark tree roots with no avail. At this moment, the small baby appeared to be a thunder god as black lightning continued to release from his body.
Meanwhile, the endless dark roots intertwined and formed the most terrifying prison that surrounded the small baby and his endless world of black lightning.
After a few minutes or so, the small baby stopped unleashing his relentless torrent of black lightning as everything became quiet within Ling Chen's lower-dantian.
Fwoosh!
And out of nowhere, boundless dark energy swirled around within Ling Chen's lower-dantian like an ocean as they flew towards the little baby that was engulfed by an endless amount of dark tree roots.
From his position, Ling Chen couldn't see anything. He was only able to see the large number of dark tree roots that engulfed the baby like a cocoon.
Nonetheless, even though he couldn't see anything. He was aware of everything that was happening.
The endless amount of dark energy continued to fly towards the little baby like crazy. It was as though they were attracted by something.
After a few minutes, the dark energy stopped flying towards him. At the same time, the endless dark tree root that engulfed the baby started to recede like octopus tentacles.
It didn't take a few seconds before they were completely gone, leaving the small unconscious baby hovering in the endless dark void.
However this time he wasn't alone, there was a dark shadow shaped like a person standing behind him. They both were the same height. The dark shadow was made entirely with dark energy. Its body was surrounded by an innumerable arc of black lightning like a bunch of silk strings wove together.
It had a large pair of dark Lightning wings behind his back. It held a long dark spear that seemed to made out of three to four dark tree roots wove together. He stood behind the small baby like a demon god.
Looking at the black Lightning Shadow behind the same baby, Ling Chen didn't seem surprised because he was well aware of what the black Lightning shadow was.
It was the embodiment of the baby's power!
The next moment, before Ling Chen could even take the unconscious baby out of his lower-dantian to the real world, a stream of mind power rushed into his head. He felt a sound bombing inside his head and then a few words showed up in his head.
' All originate from Chaos and will return to Chaos. Out of Chaos, the first primal creature is born'
Just these words, without any further explanation.
