Chapter 2501: At This Time, We Need to Use the Process of Elimination
Song Shuhang possessed a remarkable ability to adapt.
Since that day, June 4th of the previous year, when his worldview, built over eighteen years, had suddenly shattered, he had risen, Phoenix-like, from the ashes. Now, he was like a blank canvas continually embracing new experiences and revising his understanding of the world and his values.
On the night of January 2nd, current year, he was utterly panicked about the possibility of being pregnant and felt his brain shake with trepidation.
But when the sun rose on January 3rd, Song Shuhang serenely accepted this preposterous reality.
In the modern world, at the White Cloud Academy of the scholarly faction, on the Star Observation Platform...
Song Shuhang, fully rejuvenated in spirit and condition, sat cross-legged on the platform. He pushed his mask up to his forehead and quietly enjoyed the sunrise.
In contrast, a group of senior masters and goddesses behind him looked on with concern.
Soft Feather's primary form whispered, "Is Senior Song really okay? I've heard that some people become reserved and taciturn after extreme events. The quieter Senior Song is, the closer he might be to breaking down. It's very dangerous! "
Soft Feather, Su Clan's Sixteen, and Lady Onion had all withstood the Tyrannical Annihilation Speech.
The Tyrant's Death Time, terrifying for cultivators across the universe, had barely affected Soft Feather. The repeated deaths in Tyrannical Time were merely a fun experience for her.
Su Clan's Sixteen, too, had survived the Tyrannical Annihilation Speech. The trial she endured in secret was no less challenging than Tyrannical Time. With some adjustments and the aid of the living spring, she would soon overcome Song Shuhangs speech.
In the Nine Provinces Number One Group, apart from Yellow Mountain, only Senior Northern River seemed relatively normal.
Lady Onion, having gone through the experience once, was more accustomed.
After the second viewing of the speech, she awoke lively and energetic as ever.
After emerging from the Inner World, they learned of Song Shuhangs pregnancy.
Their reactions varied.
Upon hearing the news, Lady Onion first reacted with shock, then a series of theories about the Cycle of Karma flooded her thoughts. Eventually, she succumbed to an inexplicable fear... one could only wonder what scenario she had concocted in her mind.
Soft Feather initially expressed surprise, followed by curiosity. She pondered how Senior Song became pregnant, the underlying principles, whether it was a boy or a girl, and whether it could be born. Her mind buzzed with a myriad of questions. After her intense curiosity subsided, she began to worry about Pregnant Husband Senior Songs state.
As for Su Clan's Sixteen, she was still reeling from the shocking news.
The White Dragon's small claws fluttered before her eyes, but Sixteen showed no reaction.
"This shutdown is even longer than when Shuhang used the Karma Saber Technique." The White Dragon inwardly noted—Sixteen's ability to accept new things was worse than anticipated.
"Don't worry, Soft Feather, I'm fine," Song Shuhang turned and offered her a reassuring smile.
Soft Feather nodded in response to Song Shuhang.
As Song Shuhang turned back to continue watching the sunrise, Soft Feather murmured, "Seniors, do you think Senior Songs smile was genuine?"
"From the outside," the White Dragon replied, "I'd give that smile eight points. "
"Don't worry too much, everyone. Look, Tyrannical Song is currently binge-eating and drinking. He's using food to temper his emotions. If he goes overboard, he might just recover," Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet analyzed calmly. "So, why don't we think about how to handle the child inside Tyrannical Song?"
Lately, Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet had been the voice of reason, always steering off-topic discussions back on track.
"Child..." Su Clan's Sixteen murmured behind them.
"Sixteen, have you finally rebooted?" the White Dragon asked with a smile.
However, turning to look, she found Su Clan's Sixteen still in a state of shutdown—the mention of 'child! by Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet had simply triggered a single phrase.
"This girl is beyond help," the sword declared.
The White Dragon fell silent.
"Speaking of a solution, I actually came up with a feasible one last night," Pavilion Master Chu spoke up. She had temporarily positioned herself atop Soft Feather's head to speak to everyone.
"What's the plan?" Senior Turtle asked, intrigued.
"Actually, Shuhangs issue is quite simple to resolve. If you think about it, Shuhang's 'pregnancy isn't literal. The embryonic lifeform is just in his 'core reactor.' So... if we temporarily remove the core reactor, wouldn't that solve
Soft Feather shook her head, feeling a strange sensation as Pavilion Master Chu spoke atop her head.
"What happens after it's taken out?" the White Dragon inquired.
"How do we take it out?" asked the black-skinned Soft Feather.
"Could Fairy @#%x manage the extraction process?" Pavilion Master Chu turned to the virtuous lamia.
The virtuous lamia interlocked her fingers and placed them beneath her chin. She nodded gently. As the embodiment of Song Shuhangs light of virtue, she was intrinsically connected to him. She could enter his Dantian and remove the core reactor.
This, however, would require Song Shuhangs consent.
"As for what comes after... perhaps we could consider surrogacy?" Pavilion Master Chu suggested.
The embryo in the core reactor was already a new life that needed to grow and required a mother for nourishment. "Who will it be?" Senior Turtle inquired.
Silence enveloped the group.
"This is where we must employ the process of elimination," the White Dragon said with a calm smile, "First, exclude me, Fairy @#%x, and Fairy Creation.
We are all in a 'state of virtue' and lack physical bodies, so we're out of the equation."
"Fellow Daoist White Dragon makes a valid point," the stone tablet concurred.
"So, I think Fairy Chu is quite suitable," the White Dragon proposed. "We can't leave such matters to the younger generation. As seniors, it's our responsibility to step up at such times!"
"Regrettably, Scarf Fairy, I haven't yet grown to waist-level and lack that functionality," Pavilion Master Chu responded calmly.
"Seniors, how about letting me try?" Soft Feather's original form suddenly volunteered. "It sounds like fun, I...
Before she could finish, the black-skinned Soft Feather lunged at her and covered her mouth. "Original body, this matter really isn't feasible."
Father will die!
