Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1995: Chapter 1990: Fragile Line

So it’s not a psychological aversion, but a physiological one?

Is the reason for not choosing men because they can’t have children?

The mutation speed is quite fast, in the blink of an eye the entire outer layer already looks like a placenta, even a fool could recognize it.

And faced with such a change, Fu Qian’s first reaction was to try and let go of his earlier double standards.

There’s a reason for the disinterest in himself: the serpent head wasn’t trying to devour flesh and blood, it was looking for a nurturing container.

And if we follow the earlier line of thought, if this represents some function of the hand axe... is it actually a pregnancy inducer? Whomever it hits becomes pregnant?

As for Cecilia, who had her hand chopped off but had no effect, it can be understood because at that time she was really too young.

Not choosing men shows that the axe respects basic physiological structures, so it’s likely that it also filters based on the age of the host.

However, in such a case, whether there exists a convergence tendency with the Ji Family needs a question mark.

Currently, there seem to be two possibilities. First, the hand axe isn’t specifically targeting the Ji Family; it’s just a pregnancy-inducing tool that impregnates suitable women it encounters.

If this is the premise, conspiracy becomes a much more significant factor in Ji Xue’s experience back then.

Why the sudden interest in it?

It’s not a mysterious premonition, but likely some psychological suggestion.

As for who did it, it’s actually quite easy to guess.

After falling for a trick and becoming dazed, experiencing hallucinations and fantasies that led them to leave the Ji Family, the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly the current acting Family Head.

The second possibility, however, is that the hand axe, in addition to having a pregnancy-inducing effect, indeed has a special convergence effect with the Ji Family.

Ji Xue’s sudden interest back then, and my sudden interest now, are proof of this effect. After all, the ultimate result is that it ended up beside Miss Liushuang.

And although the first logic is very smooth, Fu Qian is more interested in the second possibility.

After all, while the pregnancy-inducing effect is miraculous, he never forgot that the reason for doing all this was to follow in the footsteps of the elder Ji Feng.

If it really is the second possibility, and everything was arranged by that elder, what is his purpose?

...

The Ji Family ancestor inducing descendants, honestly, upon careful consideration, it does make a lot of sense, many people can encounter something similar during a holiday.

Although I previously asked Miss Liushuang, and she said she hasn’t heard of such a person, Fu Qian still believes that the elder has significant ties to the Ji Family.

The Supernatural World, after all, hiding an identity isn’t difficult at all.

Plus, this is an old tradition of the Ji Family. Even in the mission when I first encountered Miss Liushuang, it started directly with meme reversal.

Not to mention, Old Master Ji Feng speculated as a warehouse elder, was rumored to have dealt with the Larea Family hundreds of years ago.

The current question is, what is the purpose of inducing pregnancy? Bloodline continuation?

It’s not impossible, but isn’t that way of thinking too old-fashioned? Does your family have a throne to inherit — it seems like they actually do.

Nodding secretly, Fu Qian indicates that this possibility cannot truly be ruled out.

Although lacking the title, with the Ji Family’s momentum in this world, the position of Family Head being called a throne isn’t actually a problem, if the old master genuinely wants dynastic continuity, it’s understandable.

And if not so superficial, seeking a more transcendent reason can be further deepened.

From the experience back at Silver Mist Manor, the abilities passed down in the Ji Family bloodline seemed to have an ongoing connection with the Unseen Hillock.

And the old master seems to have been trapped there for a long time, in poor condition... using this method to leave a slim chance for his return?

That reasoning is also logical, and with the warning left in the headband, these arrangements seem to prove that Ji Feng was not optimistic about his future fate from very early on.

...

The picture seems to be getting clearer, so the next question is the core of this research—

How did the old master establish the convergence law between this pregnancy-inducing tool and the Ji Family?

Looking at the axe in hand, Fu Qian was not easily satisfied with the current gain and decisively touched upon the most abstract question.

This undoubtedly involves the significance of bloodlines to the supernatural.

Previously, discussing this with Professor Lisa using the Larea Family as an example, she mentioned Cass’s perspective.

Which is that bloodlines must have meaning. The reason why unreasonable coincidences occur is simply because the true rule is yet unknown, possibly abstract factors more than flesh and blood—the Family Head.

At a certain moment, Fu Qian realized something, discreetly glanced at Miss Liushuang beside him.

The latter clearly hadn’t noticed, just stared fixedly at the form, already a classic placenta, face ashen.

Really fast, in a blink of an eye one can even see tiny fingers.

...

It’s no wonder to have such a reaction, for Ji Liushuang, knowing more of the backstory makes some connections all too easy.

If the transformation in front is indeed the result of being slashed by the axe, then her mother’s experience back then was actually being impregnated by the Holy Spirit like the Holy Mother Maria.

On one hand, it certainly proves a distinguished origin, but on the other hand, doesn’t it mean that the father she hoped for years actually doesn’t exist?

Being still young, it’s perfectly normal to be a bit rattled.

While understanding, Fu Qian didn’t disturb her, quickly returning to the subject.

Family Head...

The Ji Family indeed has a strictly unreasonable rule to establish the heir regardless of gender, which has led to many contradictions.

Is there enough reason for this irrationality?

The abstract element more than logic, it’s not some rare chromosome or something like that, but this strictly defined concept of the Family Head?

Is this why there is such a special pregnancy-inducing tool?

Is that why this pregnancy-inducing tool causes such a fateful connection between Ji Xue and Ji Liushuang?

The existence of the hand axe ensures the continuation of the concept of the Family Head at an appropriate time, significantly ensuring that this fragile thread doesn’t break...

If it truly is like this, then ”abstract” is indeed the only word for it.

Furthermore, the level of intensity has already surpassed the realm of bloodline continuation, indicating that Old Master Ji Feng’s backup plans for himself have greatly increased in probability.

As for why specifically girls, besides the physiological structure constraint, there’s another reason: female heirs indeed bring more controversy, more surprises.

The old man seemed to be thinking quite thoroughly.

It’s just a pity that during the earlier test, the two excellent nurturer serpent heads couldn’t reach, leaving this omnipotent divine blood and flesh no choice but to self-fertilize in a hermaphroditic form.

”Can this thing create life?”

At this moment, Professor Lisa seems to have finally realized something, looking incredulous.

”I prefer to call it inducement.”

With a light sigh, Fu Qian chooses as precise wording as possible.
