I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

How's things at home? Anything interesting happening?

Little Ta, Skadi, how are your three aunties?

"beep……"

A few seconds later, the video call was connected, and Chen Huijie was able to see the current situation on the other end.

"Oh, it's Xiaohuijie. Are you on holiday?"

"Yes, it's a holiday, my dear."

Chen immediately noticed that the layout of the living room had changed.

For example, that little cradle.

Cradle? Cradle!

"Ancestor, that cradle?"

She was about to ask who she wanted the child with, but then she realized that might attract hatred...

"Yes, it's already planned. It's my and your Aunt Xi's child. Huijie, would you like to see it?"

"Ugh?"

Is this...so fast? Shouldn't it take at least ten months...?

Chen felt a little dizzy from Bai Zhou's words.

"Is it okay? Won't it disturb the children?"

But she really wanted to see her ancestor's child, and what should she call that child? Perhaps she should call her "Grandma"? That's strange.

"Haha, of course it won't disturb us, because the child hasn't been born yet."

During the day, he flipped the camera over and walked to the cradle with his phone.

"The child of our ancestors... Alas!"

Chen was stunned again.

"Why is it an egg?!"

Do humans lay eggs?

Nian, who was on the other end of the video call, chuckled and explained to Chen, "Silly Huijie, of course we lay eggs because we're dragons."

"Ugh?"

Chen's doubts.jpg

Since it's a dragon... does it lay eggs when it gives birth?

"Ancestor, is this true?"

"..."

Bai Zhou glanced at Nian, who was constantly winking at him, smiled gently, and agreed.

"Yes, Huijie. I didn't tell you before because you were still young."

“We dragons have always laid eggs. You and Little Tower, you were both hatched from eggs.”

"I see..."

Chen turned her head to look in the mirror, and looking at herself, she felt that her life had undergone earth-shattering changes.

"Chenchen! I'm back from buying snacks!"

The girl from Waifan barged into the dormitory in a flurry of activity, carrying a large bag of snacks.

She warmly invited her friend to borrow her mobile phone to watch a new movie from Yan, but then she saw her friend staring intently at her own belly.

"Hey? Chenchen, what's wrong?"

"...I have just made a discovery that has shocked the biological world."

"What?"

Chen looked up at his friend and said to her with a serious expression, "I've discovered that babies born from eggs also have navels!"

"what!"

……

"Alina, I... I'm feeling really conflicted right now..."

After ending her communication with her sister, Talulah lay down on the bed with a strange expression and started complaining to the deer girl.

"Although I knew Huijie was a bit simple-minded and naive before, but... she's such a grown-up now, she's not a child anymore. How could that silly Huijie be fooled by the old man? And with such a childish trick."

Babies are born from eggs... Please, I stopped believing that when I was three years old.

"And what makes you so confident in saying this about Huijie..."

The deer girl gently shook her head, stroking Draco's hair with her fingertips, in agreement.

The twenty-third princess and her grandson obtained it from Yan.

What was the purpose of the past?

"It is the path trodden by all true dragons, and the entire heritage of the Great Yan Dynasty from ancient times to the present."

Now... why?

"This is the path I will take, and this is the path I will bring about to change the world."

What about the future?

"..."

The dragon lowered its eyes, and wherever it looked, there was a thick fog.

"The path they followed after me is the future of the new world."

Thus, all five roads... are now passable.

……

"What exactly does a road represent?"

During the day, filled with doubts, he sought answers from the system.

The road is the hole in the world. Find it, occupy it, merge with it, and the creatures born of the earth can break free from their constraints and roam freely in the boundless sea.

"The boundless sea..."

By day, one can look up slightly; by night, the stars shine brightly.

Is it... the universe?

If one becomes a Sichen, will one be able to touch the universe?

Can……

Is the space above our heads really the universe?

The world changes, time flies. The starry sky is now...

What difference does it make whether it's true or false?

[If you transform into the God of War, you will possess the true power to shift stars and change constellations. At that time, if the starry sky is false, you will tear it apart.]

"If it were merely a cage, that would be fine. But if it were..."

During the day, he bent down and poured the water from the pot onto the flowers.

"My friend... what exactly do you know?"

"System, please check the list of named individuals."

[Two of the seven names have been chosen: the First Year; and the Demon King. Five remain… Sorry, Xi, my calculation was wrong. Three of the seven names have been chosen; only four remain unclaimed.]

"The three of you..."

Bai Zhou paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly and continued, "I know who it is. What are the trigger conditions for the named person?"

He wanted to proactively promote someone named.

The selection of those named is entirely at the discretion of Si Chen; if there is a suitable candidate, try extending an invitation to her.

The system knows who he is referring to.

"...An invitation. As for her...sigh."

And... let's give it a try.

……

Kazdel, Babel Base

A lynx resembling a traveler is packing its bags.

"Where are you going to provide disaster relief this time, Great Savior?"

The doctor, who had been sent over to assist, asked while eating a wilted pear.

"Go and dig out the place where the scourge was, and deal with the pollution left behind by the scourge."

Faced with the increasingly unruly doctor, even the most patient lynx couldn't be bothered to give him a friendly look.

It's more accurate to say that the more lenient you are with this scumbag, the more unruly she becomes, so responding is the right thing to do.

"Chernobog? No way, you're going to go to Ursus to take advantage of the chaos at this time?"

The Doctor, who observes the world's affairs from afar, naturally knew of the death of the Ursus Emperor.

"Hasn't a new emperor already ascended the throne? How can you say he's taking advantage of the chaos?"

"Can that blond kid control those old and new nobles like his father? I'm afraid he'll have a hard time even controlling those monsters."

"Or... well, wait a minute."

The Doctor took out his phone, opened a friend's profile, looked at it carefully for a few moments, and then asked the lynx curiously, "Kal'tsit, I have a question for you."

"If a giant beast takes human form and gives birth, is it viviparous or oviparous?"
