Chapter 923 -916 Title Missing

The various visitors who arrived to celebrate Little Yixi’s birth stirred up quite the commotion for three days before things finally settled down. Those qualified to attend had already come, and as for the rest, even if they wanted to, they had missed the optimal timing. Not to mention the lack of qualification to meet Chen Yu directly, even if they did manage to meet him, failing to offer blessings right away would severely diminish the significance.

Now that the crowds had quieted, Chen Yu could finally relax and spend time with his wife and child, without needing to waste time entertaining guests.

“Little Yixi~ Little Yixi~ Give mommy a smile! Oh~! Oh~! Smile!” On the hospital bed, Jounouchi Hiromi was propping herself up partially as she teased the baby who had just been discharged from the incubator and was now lying beside her.

Although born a few days earlier than the due date, Little Yixi was incredibly healthy and lively. When Jounouchi Hiromi teased her, she was already able to open her shiny black eyes and smile at her mother.

Still, the little one had only been born three days ago. After being teased by Jounouchi Hiromi for a while, she closed her tiny eyes, blew a few bubbles, and fell asleep.

Seeing his daughter fall asleep, Chen Yu smiled at Jounouchi Hiromi and said, “You’re amazing, darling. Thank you for everything!”

“What are you saying? Having such an adorable daughter like Little Yixi is worth all the effort, isn’t it?” Jounouchi Hiromi responded with a radiant smile, gently stroking Little Yixi’s tiny belly as she mused, “Besides, if I hadn’t insisted, you wouldn’t have wanted to have a child so early, would you?”

“That’s true, I thought so back then,” Chen Yu admitted, gazing lovingly at his wife and daughter. He reached out to gently caress Jounouchi Hiromi’s cheek and said tenderly, “But now that I see how cute Little Yixi is, none of that matters anymore. Besides, based on my plans, if we waited until we were both divine beings, having children might have become incredibly complicated. Though deities are immortal, the process of conceiving a child would take at least centuries. I can’t wait that long!”

Hearing Chen Yu’s words, Jounouchi Hiromi’s smile deepened, and her gaze became even more tender and loving as she looked at her daughter.

To her, becoming a deity paled in comparison to the treasure that was her daughter.

Noticing Jounouchi Hiromi’s expression, Chen Yu said nothing more. He simply joined her in gazing at their little one, who was occasionally blowing bubbles in her sleep, their faces filled with infinite gentleness.

The couple watched their tiny daughter like this, their hearts brimming with nothing but parental love and hopes for her future.

Even though Little Yixi was already asleep, her small hands clung tightly to the necklace around her neck. Although she was far too young to wear any jewelry, this particular necklace was an exception. Little Yixi adored it and couldn’t seem to stop grasping it with her tiny hands, so it remained around her neck.

This necklace was a gift sent by the Imperial Family following Little Yixi’s birth, a present from Amaterasu herself. It was imbued with Amaterasu’s divine power and blessings, making it an extraordinarily rare gift.

Furthermore, when the Inari God visited, they bestowed their own blessings upon the necklace as well, enhancing its extraordinary nature.

Looking at the necklace, Chen Yu couldn’t help but chuckle softly, “This little one’s future is truly extraordinary. She’s just been born, yet she’s already received blessings from Amaterasu and the Inari God. And with the two of us protecting her, I doubt there’s anyone in this world with a more illustrious background than her.”

Hearing this, Jounouchi Hiromi rolled her eyes at him but smiled as she said, “And why don’t you mention that even before she was born, you had already prepared a divine rank for her? This child is destined to become a deity someday.”

“I haven’t even done it yet!” Chen Yu replied with a grin. “And honestly, extracting four fundamental world rules in one go is no easy feat.” Though he spoke lightheartedly, Jounouchi Hiromi could discern the worry in his heart.

It was understandable. Even acquiring a medium-level Storm Divine Core had caused such upheaval before. Extracting four fundamental rules would only amplify the world’s turmoil.

Thinking of this, Jounouchi Hiromi said to Chen Yu, “Darling, why don’t you just agree to the Inari God’s divine rank and your own divine rank? Neither the child nor I necessarily need to ascend to godhood. With your protection, would we really face any danger?”

In Jounouchi Hiromi’s eyes, Chen Yu was the pillar of their family. As long as he stood strong, he could hold everything together.

So rather than risk greater danger to secure divine ranks for her and the child, she preferred for Chen Yu to focus his efforts on strengthening himself. That way, he could avoid unnecessary risks.

However, Chen Yu shook his head and said, “Everything is already prepared. If we miss this opportunity, who knows when such a chance will come again? So, darling, please don’t say such things. freewebnσvel.cѳm

As for the risks, you know the nature of the ritual. Do you really think there’s any difference in danger between extracting one world rule and four? The risk is the same; the only distinction is whether I take on that risk for just one divine rank or go a bit further to gain multiple divine ranks, ensuring our entire family ascends to divinity.”

Hearing Chen Yu’s explanation, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn’t argue further. Her body hadn’t fully recovered after childbirth, and speaking at length coupled with her concern for Chen Yu caused a wave of fatigue to wash over her. She could only remind Chen Yu to be careful before falling asleep alongside Little Yixi.

Watching his wife and daughter sleeping soundly, Chen Yu felt his resolve solidify even further. He couldn’t bear the thought of becoming a deity alone while his wife and child remained mere mortals.

After all, deities possess limitless lifespans. Ancient Gods, in particular, could transcend time and space; even if their residing world perished and faded into nothingness, they could remain unfettered by faith and move to other worlds, untouched.

But beings who aren’t divine—like demigods—still have finite lifespans. Even though Jounouchi Hiromi had the Dragon Bloodline, dragons also grow old and die. And even Time Dragons, who roam beyond the rivers of time, wielding the Power of Time, must face mortality if they don’t ascend to godhood.

There was no way Chen Yu could become divine alone and then watch as his loved ones—his wife, daughter, family, and friends—all aged and passed away, leaving him behind.

What kind of life would that be? To ascend to divinity only to find oneself utterly solitary, with everything familiar gone? Such a godly existence would be nothing more than a hollow shell.

And that was absolutely not the life Chen Yu wanted.
