Chapter 1170: Wealth Becomes a Father

"I originally wanted to see if I could merge with it. Looks like that won’t happen," Amalia said.

However, after receiving the life force, she no longer felt disappointed.

"If Father had absorbed the black substance from the planet earlier, he could have forcibly devoured the life force. Because the planet had been contaminated by too many dead souls, its will was slowly being eroded. Over long stretches of time, it would have eventually perished in the vast universe. You saved it, so it rewarded you with a massive amount of life force."

Amalia had already guessed as much.

Just as she was about to leave the small world, Wealth suddenly let out a startled cry.

"Oh no, the egg cracked! Did I crush it?"

Amalia quickly rushed into the small house within the small world, seeing Wealth panicking and jumping up in alarm.

Beneath him was a cracked egg, its surface covered in growing fractures.

She immediately understood what had happened.

"It’s not broken because of you. Congratulations, Wealth! You finally hatched an egg—you’re about to be promoted to fatherhood."

Wealth looked utterly aggrieved. "I don’t want to be a dad! I’m still a baby myself! Mother, have you ever seen a baby becoming a father?"

Amalia couldn’t hold back her laughter.

If it weren’t for Gor’kan and the others, she wouldn’t have known that, by Pixiu standards, Wealth was still considered an infant.

At that moment, the creature inside the egg couldn’t wait any longer.

It forcefully poked through the eggshell, struggling to squeeze its way out.

However, the crack it made wasn’t big enough, and it got stuck halfway.

The bald little creature tried several times but failed to crawl out.

With teary eyes, it gazed pitifully at Wealth.

Wealth felt his scalp tingle.

No, No...

He was still a baby himself!

Why was this little one looking at him like that?

In the end, it was Amalia who walked over and helped the little creature break free from the eggshell.

The moment it was out, the tiny beast immediately turned around and ate the eggshell entirely.

It had impressive teeth and chewed with great enthusiasm, clearly enjoying the meal.

As soon as it finished eating, the little one seemed to instinctively start looking for its father.

Without hesitation, it toddled straight toward Wealth.

"No! Don’t come near me! I’m not your dad!" Wealth wailed and threw himself into Amalia’s arms.

I’m still a kid!

No, I’m a baby!

I don’t want to be a dad!

Amalia was both amused and exasperated. "Alright, calm down. It’s probably just drawn to you because you have a similar aura—it’s not actually mistaking you for its father."

She recalled that demonic beasts had an acute sense of bloodline.

Wealth’s lineage, no matter how diluted, was still from the the same bloodline.

Meanwhile, this newborn beast was a Pixiu.

By bloodline hierarchy, The Nine Heaven Pixiu naturally suppressed Pixiu.

If the little one could sense that, there was no way it could mistake Wealth for its father.

"Really?" Wealth looked up at Amalia with tear-filled eyes, desperate for confirmation.

At that moment, the newborn Pixiu had already flopped down at Wealth’s feet, drooling all over the floor.

"Do you know how to raise it?" Amalia glanced at the tiny creature, which didn’t seem to radiate much intelligence.

"I know a little." Thanks to his inherited memories, Wealth had knowledge on the subject. "After a few days, it needs to be sent to the Inheritance Ground."

"And what do they eat?"

"They can eat any kind of berries," Wealth replied disinterestedly.

Amalia patted his head, knowing that expecting a child to raise a baby was asking too much. "Can they eat meat?"

Wealth pried open the little Pixiu’s mouth—there wasn’t a single tooth inside. "Nope."

Amalia fell silent for a moment. "Then prepare some suitable food for it. Also, try to hatch a few more eggs quickly. If it has companions, it probably won’t cling to you as much."

"That’s the only option," Wealth sighed in an exaggeratedly old-fashioned manner. "Luckily, Mother’s small world has evolved again. Otherwise, who knows how long it would take for the second egg to hatch?"

"Does that make a difference?" Amalia asked, sensing there was more to it.

"Of course it does." Wealth glanced at the pile of Pixiu eggs in the corner. "These eggs have been here for so long that their survival rate has dropped to less than ten percent. If they were outside, barely any would hatch successfully. Honestly, if one out of ten survived, that would already be considered lucky."

"But Mother’s small world is different. When a world first takes shape, the heavens grant it more opportunities. That’s why these eggs have a much higher chance of surviving here."

This was precisely why he had moved his entire clan into Amalia’s small world.

If staying outside meant a nearly certain death, they might as well gamble on the small world.

If they won, they gained everything.

If they lost, the outcome was the same as before—nothing to lose.

Amalia finally understood why Wealth had so readily allowed her to devour Regnum Tellus.

Suddenly, Wealth’s eyes lit up with excitement. "Especially now that the small world has received a massive influx of life force! Many of the things it was missing have started appearing. Once the small world undergoes its second evolution, there will be even more opportunities."

"What’s a second evolution?" Amalia asked.

"A second evolution happens when a small world gains everything it needs to function as a complete world. Once it reaches that point, it can evolve again." Knowing what she was about to ask, Wealth added, "But this isn’t something you can force. Just like the life force Mother get now, it depends on fate."

Amalia nodded in understanding. "Alright, then keep hatching those eggs. I’ll go get some berries for this little Pixiu."

Outside, Amalia’s consciousness returned to her physical body.

She immediately relayed the changes in her small world to Kenny Lin.
