Tina held a cute little lifeform in her embrace. She leaned on a coat of pillows stacked against the headrest, her pale face slowly returning to a healthy hue as she looked at the baby she had given birth to with loving affection.
Even the children gathered around her, looking at them with immense curiosity.
It had been a while since they had seen one of their mothers give birth, after all.
"He's so little…"
Eterna had seen her little brothers and sisters in this way many times, but no matter how many times she had seen, she couldn't comprehend how these little ones came out of the stomach. Her cheeks turned red when she imagined she might also give birth to a baby like this.
"Indeed." Tina softly heaved, "Fortunately, he has so many elder brothers and sisters to take care of him."
Celestia nodded, "We will look after him. What's his name?"
"…" Tina blinked, "I haven't thought about it. How about father naming him?"
"Me?"
Davis looked astonished.
Tina's lips curled into a lovely smile before she nodded.
Everyone turned to look at Davis, causing him to freeze.
He hadn't given it any thought since it was his women who named his children. With how many wives and children he had, he felt he at least needed to give away all the rights when it came to naming the children. However, Tina relegated the naming of the child to him.
He raised his hand and held his chin, appearing to go into deep contemplation.
A few seconds later, he opened his mouth.
"How about Quentin Davis?"
"You mean 'quent' from quintessence, in other words, five elements and 'tin' from Tina?" Mingzhi raised her brows.
"Exactly."
Davis looked unabashed as he nodded. If it were a girl, he might've named her Quentina!
"Quentin Davis, I like it~" Tina giggled before she leaned and kissed her baby, "From now on, I'm going to call you Quint~"
"That quickly?"
Mingzhi blinked, but the others looked quite satisfied with the name. Although it was simple, they felt it was apt for Davis to name his child after Tina and her powers. It carried a powerful symbolism that they wished he had also done for them, but they didn't regret naming their child how they did. Instead, they imagined they could ask him to name their second child that way.
"Still," Mingzhi came closer and looked at the two-toned hair Quentin was born with.
It was a shade of gray-white in the middle and purple all over. As for his eyes, it was a mystical emerald. He was completely devoid of his parent's characteristics except for his facial features.
"What physique is this?"
Mingzhi asked.
"…"
Davis heaved a breath, his eyes widened, "I don't know. Myria doesn't know either. It's dormant but extremely powerful. I sensed a minute amount of chaos energy within his Spirit Essence, which means he has a Soul Physique that could be near to chaos or five elements."
"…!"
Mingzhi's jaw dropped.
Everyone was also shocked.
Chaos energy!?
"He could be as powerful as Lucian or more powerful." Davis said, "However, we could be sure the amount of soul resources he would require would be ridiculous. Fortunately, we have Epsila, wealth, and Realm Cores on our side."
Many were dumbfounded.
Was this the result of Tina's Five Elements Soul Physique and Davis's Chaotic Genesis Physique interacting?
On the other hand, Tina didn't care what physique Quentin was born with at the moment. She was fine as long as he was healthy. She only wished that he could grow safely into a healthy man with a healthy mind. Her eyes, which were gazing at him, were still full of love, finding it difficult to leave his direction.
After spending some time with Tina, everyone excused themselves, but they didn't leave.
They all threw a banquet and thoroughly enjoyed it with the meat of the Grand Saint Magical Beasts, which could only be obtained in Upper Realms, but by paying a steep price, one could also obtain it in Lower Realms.
Zestria and Yilla also left the Verdant Vale Lower Realm and Ghostly Crow Lower Realm secretly to come here. The Heaven's Warriors still surrounded them but didn't bother to attack anyway.
Even if they were attacked, they still left the majority of their forces to be able to defend properly. Besides, with Calypsea's help, they also used the Realm Cores to allow many people to enter the Empyrean Stage or peak it. The Realm Core's abilities proved to be very useful.
Some were curious about why Tina managed to give birth in five months. After all, they didn't know about the Realm Core's tenth ability.
Ability number ten allows the Realm Master to manipulate the flow of time, creating training grounds where even Empyreans and Autarchs can train. Tina didn't use it to train but spent her time passing the course of pregnancy with Panqa and Lanqua, who helped her all the way.
Because they were also on the peninsula, they managed to receive a lot of love from Davis.
Only Davis couldn't enter the temporal zone since his divergence would make sure that it harms the realm, so Tina and the others occasionally came out to meet him.
"I wish Dalila were also here to see my son."
Tina uttered while holding her baby.
She ate a bit and then was fully protective of him, never leaving his side.
"Oh, we'll make sure the expedition team hears the news." Mingzhi comforted her, "We haven't heard from them for four months now. Hopefully, they're safe and making more gains. By the way, did you hear the news that people from other galaxies have appeared in the secret realm? This goes to say that there may be Dimensional Pathways to other galaxies located in multiple shards."
"I didn't hear that. When did this happen?" Tina was quickly interested.
Since she was pregnant, it seems like news about the outside world wasn't delivered to her unless it concerned the Whispering Wildlands Lower Realm. It was to protect her health.
Apparently, there were already rumors spreading nearly a year ago, but it was just said to be fearmongering. Half a year ago, the supreme geniuses really did encounter people from other galaxies, causing them to war. It was recorded as the first battle between the supreme geniuses of this century millennium. Then, it didn't end there, and more battles between other galaxies broke out. It wasn't just one instance but nearly seven known instances, and the opponents weren't just from one galaxy.
It was theorized that not only the seven other galaxies but also more zones from celestial bodies may have been connected.
As for the reason, the Celestial Transcendent Galaxy naturally thought it was because of the Divine Emperor of Death, of course. Although they blamed him, they didn't dare attack him. This was also an opportunity for them. As long as the Dimensional Pathway led to the third layer of other galaxies, then they might be able to begin building a foothold and start attacking from within, drastically reducing the pressure in the battlefields leading to Greater Realms.
"Are you not worried?" Mingzhi turned to ask Davis.
He shrugged, "Isabella and Shirley proved they're unbeatable in the shard worlds. I don't think other geniuses can even do something about it. Besides, it's time for Mira to wake up. I figure she will be as powerful as Isabella or even more powerful."
"Oh?"
Everyone was intrigued.
The discussion while dining just got more and more interesting.
Later that day, Davis excused himself and Yilla and Zestria also disappeared.
Evelynn and the others secretly smiled, knowing that these two Realm Masters could not possibly control their urges when they only got this chance to meet him after nearly ten months! They didn't bother to interfere with their nightly affairs underneath the moonlit night.
