Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Inside the laboratory, Lynn was attempting to "proliferate" the drop of blood from the cosmic behemoth.

First, he contacted it with several rare materials known to stimulate bloodline growth, then tried to irradiate it with star energy of a specific frequency, and even used a trace of his own bloodline aura to induce it.

But the result made him frown slightly.

External stimuli are either instinctively rejected by this drop of blood, absorbed and transformed into nutrients to maintain its own activity, or simply disappear without a trace, failing to trigger the bloodline's self-proliferation or overt enhancement.

Propagation...failed.

"It seems that the inheritance and growth mechanism of this bloodline originating from higher-dimensional beings is far more complex and closed than I imagined."

Lynn understood.

"With current knowledge and methods, it is almost impossible to artificially proliferate or enhance them."

"Forcibly separating and extracting bloodline may completely disrupt the delicate balance between bloodline, soul, and body in Lin Chen's body, which would be a losing proposition."

Despite Lin Chen having 40% Starry Sky Beast bloodline, it seems that after giving Lynn 10%, he still has 30% left.

However, the base values ​​for the two are different, so they cannot be converted in that way.

Lynn's 10% is much higher than Lin Chen's 10%.

Even if all 40% of the Starry Sky Beast bloodline were extracted from Lin Chen's body, it wouldn't be enough to fill that 10% gap.

There's only one sample available now, and it would be a real shame to mess it up.

He needs more samples for comparative research. If all else fails, he'll have more children, extract the bloodline of the cosmic behemoths from their bodies, and fuse it into his own. (Fang Yuan: Family, do you think I did the right thing?)

Thinking about increasing the sample size, Lynn's senses involuntarily turned to Arya's room.

Arya has just given birth and is currently recuperating. The Nightsong family has sent people to take care of her and the newborn.

Besides the two experienced matrons, there were several young and beautiful maids, all of whom were carefully selected by the family from collateral branches, with clean backgrounds and excellent looks.

The first maid to arrive, named Sisi, was the most beautiful. She was carrying warm water and tiptoeing into Arya's room.

She had been there for a few months, mainly responsible for Arya's personal care and some light chores. After Arya became immobile, she also took on the important task of taking care of Lynn.

Xixi was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She had a beautiful and gentle appearance, a well-proportioned figure, and her demeanor carried the submissiveness and caution unique to women from small families.

Both the patriarch and Arya had subtly hinted to her that if she were to be favored by Lord Lynn one day, it would be her good fortune and a blessing for the family.

She felt both uneasy and vaguely expectant.

After all, serving such a young and powerful formal wizard is the dream of many women like her.

However, several months passed, and apart from occasionally inquiring about Arya's condition, Lord Lynn rarely looked at her and did not overstep any boundaries.

She gradually settled into her role, focusing only on doing her job well.

But today, everything has changed.

Just then, she put down the basin of water and saw Lin Chen appear out of thin air in the room.

Immediately afterwards, Lynn's calm voice rang in her ear: "Xixi, come to my room."

Xi Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she almost thought she had misheard.

Lord Lynn... what do you mean?

Is it what I think?

She glanced quickly at Arya on the bed and saw Arya nod slightly, her eyes showing no displeasure but rather a hint of encouragement.

Clearly, Arya also heard Lynn's voice.

Xixi then suppressed her panic and bowed her head to the void, replying, "Yes, sir."

Following behind Lynn toward the living room that only he could usually enter, Xixi's heart pounded like a drum.

Yes, it must be that matter... the clan leader and the young lady hinted at it.

She gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, feeling both nervous and a strange, indescribable flutter in her heart.

In the living room, Lynn didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:

"I need more offspring. Your constitution is fine, but you might be a little overwhelmed to carry my bloodline."

"I will prepare medicine for you over the next few days to enhance your life force and the resilience of your soul. During this time, you will need to stay here."

Huh? So direct?

So it's already straight to having a baby?

Shouldn't we talk about our feelings and love first, and then take things one step at a time?

Xixi's cheeks flushed instantly, her head drooped even lower, and her voice was barely audible: "I...I will leave everything to your arrangements, sir."

As a member of the family who had been mentally prepared from an early age, Xixi was extremely obedient.

Besides... she didn't dislike Lynn.

The mentality of admiring the strong is especially evident in this world where the strong are respected.

Xixi was not an apprentice, but just an ordinary person whose physical abilities were not even as good as a knight's.

To fully enhance her body, it would take much more effort than with Arya.

Lynn was extremely efficient. She quickly formulated several mild but highly effective basic strengthening medicines based on Xixi's physical condition, and supplemented them with simple energy channeling to help her absorb them.

Her physical condition and mental strength improved significantly in a short period of time.

What followed was perfectly logical.

Lynn's goal was clear, and his process was very direct.

Although Xixi was shy, she tried her best to cooperate.

This "experiment" went much more smoothly than expected, and Xixi successfully conceived.

However, when Lynn's mental energy carefully sensed the new life growing inside Xixi's belly, his brows furrowed slightly.

Although the life force and nascent soul of this fetus were much stronger than those of an ordinary human fetus, they were still far inferior to Lin Chen's performance back then.

Compared to its previous state, which was as active as a miniature star, had its own "devouring" field, and had an astonishing demand for energy, it was now several levels below.

His soul fluctuations were ordinary, and his talent and potential seemed average as well, showing no signs of breaking through to the limit.

"Just an ordinary hybrid offspring who inherited some of the best traits but did not activate the core talent of the Starry Sky Beast."

A hint of disappointment crossed Lynn's mind.

It seems that individuals like Lin Chen, who exhibit "highly dominant expression," are the product of a combination of coincidences and factors, and their behavior cannot be replicated every time.

Perhaps it was because he modified that batch of life essence while modifying the Starry Sky Beast that his first offspring possessed the bloodline.

Although he did not achieve his goal, he did not show his disappointment and still told Xixi to rest well.

Xixi was so engrossed in the joy of her pregnancy that she didn't notice anything unusual about Lynn.

During this period, Lin Chen consumed a considerable amount of resources, yet his growth was relatively slow.

Clearly, it's difficult to grow rapidly without investing heavily.

After spending thousands of magic stones, Lynn saw that the effect was not very obvious and decisively gave up this extravagant behavior.

There aren't enough resources to support him. As long as we can maintain his basic needs, we'll let him grow slowly by absorbing star power.

Although Lin Chen's physical development was slow, his extraordinary power grew extremely rapidly. Just over a month after his birth, he actually mastered the ability to fly.

It's important to know that Lynn only mastered the ability to fly without the aid of magic after reaching the level of a formal wizard.

This little brat already knows how to do this right after he was born. Isn't that infuriating?

However, considering the bloodline of the Starry Sky Beast within him, all of this makes perfect sense.

The cubs of the Starry Sky Beasts can travel directly through the endless starry sky; isn't being able to fly a basic skill?
