Chapter 3517 Second Son

Chapter 3517 Second Son

"Dissonance...? Are you sure that it will be fine?"

"Yes, Mingzhi. It's not like I can't control myself. It's just that there are these bursts of egotistical and arrogant moments that are difficult to suppress, but I'm sure with time, I can adapt to it well."

Hearing Davis's answer, Mingzhi considered for a few moments before she nodded and opened the door for him. She heaved a sigh as he left her side, feeling that giant pressure no longer oppressing her.

Davis entered the hall and saw Evelynn and a few others, but his gaze fell on Niera and the tiny baby in her embrace.

It was as he expected. Niera had birthed a son.

Niera tried to stand up, but Evelynn had her eyes narrowed, pressing on Niera's shoulder as though indicating for her to sit down. Niera pursed her lips, wondering why she had to maintain this kind of attitude towards Davis, whom she looked forward to presenting her son even if he was late.

However, she didn't know Evelynn already noticed something wildly different about Davis.

Davis's gaze was still on his second son.

The little baby was cradled in a fine cloth, only his head peeking out as he seemed to be sleeping. He had blonde hair, just like him and Niera, making him wonder whose eye color he inherited.

When Davis stepped closer, wanting to caress his second son, the latter appeared alarmed and looked around as though searching for something when his little bright eyes met Davis's, causing Davis's pupils to tremble.

The eye color was golden.

He instantly came to know something was different about this immortal child.

It wasn't like he noticed unusual self-awareness or sentience, but the eye color was different than Niera's or his own, which meant that his son possessed a physique of some sort.

Davis was excited and prideful.

His second son was so strong that even the blazing protective aura around him stemming from the placenta on his side was at the Immortal King Stage. Of course, the placenta was disconnected, but she still had it on him, appearing to slowly nourish himself with it. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

Nonetheless, Davis noticed the weirded-out gazes of the others as his aura once again leaked, causing him to sigh.

"How many days...?"

"Four days since his birth..." Niera answered.

However, she looked unsure of standing up again as his aura demanded that she shouldn't even look at him eye-to-eye. He was wildly different than before, making her want to know what happened in the past two weeks.

"Niera..." Davis raised his hand, "I'm... I'm very..."

He pursed his lips, appearing to want to say something but couldn't before he inclined his head and smiled cockily, shaking his head.

"I'm..." He clenched his teeth, still smiling, "... extremely sorry that I broke our promise."

"..."

Evelynn and the others couldn't help but blink. How was that supposed to be an apology? However, they also noticed that he looked like an internal battle was going on inside him.

Niera finally stood up, bringing the child to him with an assured expression on her face.

"I accept your apology. I wouldn't lie if I said your absence bothered me, but more importantly, look... it's your second son..."

She pridefully handed him her child, causing Davis to shudder as he could feel her longing and excitement. Niera was like a little girl wanting to be praised. She had rarely imposed on him, but now, her eyes were saying that he shouldn't look at anything else other than her son.

However, after taking a glance at his son in his arms, Davis returned his gaze towards Niera and cupped her cheek with his free hand.

Niera held Davis's hand, not giving him up as she looked at Sophie with competitive intent.

Sophie and the others couldn't help but smile.

Their Niera, who had a gloomy face all this while, finally lit up after Davis came by. It also improved their moods to see him come back after going missing for a while.

Davis also held Niera close with Lucian. He felt extremely guilty for not being with her during delivery. For one, he wanted to be there as the father, and for two, he let Niera face heavenly tribulation all by herself.

Just the thought of letting Niera face tribulation all by herself was shuddering, to say the least.

Why? Because the heavenly tribulation's strength attracted by the birth of an immortal child was equal to the cultivation base of both father and mother or the average, meaning if Davis was at Level Nine Immortal King Stage and Sophie was at Level Four Immortal Stage, the immortal tribulation's strength would be at Level One Immortal King Stage!

Such a thing... it meant Niera was dead if she faced it alone!

He impregnated her when she had just become an Immortal and barely entered the Mid Immortal Stage through dual cultivation with him and taking minor resources that nurtured the baby but also her.

However, the fact she and the child were alive meant the tribulation's prowess was lower.

Davis could guess why that was the case-

-because his soul cultivation had regressed to Level One Immortal King Soul Stage in order to improve to his current level and slowly rose over the week.

He didn't know what to feel about the fact that his cultivation had fallen ironically saved Niera from her demise. If his main cultivation, soul cultivation, actually didn't regress, she would've lost the baby and then reborn through Everlight, who was actually dual cultivating with him.

He didn't even want to think of such a scene.

'So the heavens pick the average from the parents' main cultivation base... the cultivation base that has the highest prowess regardless of the level of the cultivation base...'

Davis learned of this through inference, but he was royally pissed that he couldn't give a heartfelt apology to Niera, who almost lost her life.

He knew he had been lucky with his cultivation having regressed, but his egotistical and arrogant soul was blocking him from saying such a thing again.

Nonetheless, he regulated himself and injected a fine strand of soul sense into Lucian.

Davis could see the immortal vessels in his tiny body slowly developing like an organ. This tiny dude had a dantian even before he was out of his mom's belly, making Davis smile wryly.

"An immortal baby will step into the Immortal Stage the moment they become sixteen years old, more or less. Oh? His dantian's core, meridians, and even bones are all fire-attributed right from the start. What kind of physique does he have? Does anyone know?"

Davis panned his gaze on Niera and everyone else.

They looked clueless as they weren't experts, but Ellia stepped up, her lips curling.

"I didn't want to say unless you returned, but yes, Lucian got the short end of the stick. Our Niera survived a Destructive Heavenly Tribulation-"

"Destructive!?"

Davis's pupils dilated.

"Yes..." Ellia pursed her lips, wondering if he was feeling fine, "-so I think your son most probably has Solar Apocalypse Physique, a physique so destructive that can actually cause everything around the user to burn regardless of their Will unless controlled and can even burn down... a Minor Realm at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Stage..."

"..."

Davis's lips pursed while the others trembled, especially Niera's eyes, which turned much worried as she looked at her son.

Lucian was a Divergent? They thought the Destructive Heavenly Tribulation was because the father was an Anarchic Divergent!
