201: The birth of Chen Xu brings four joyous occasions.

Dragon Calendar Year 461, Pillar of Leaders, Chen Jun Manor.

Time flowed like water, quietly passing for nearly thirty-two years.

For powerful cultivators whose lifespans are measured in tens of thousands of years, thirty-two years are but a flick of a finger.

Chen Jun was still sprawled on his Supreme lounge chair, which had undergone countless upgrades.

He squinted, enjoying the perfectly simulated sunlight from the artificial star outside the window, while his Divine Sense, like an invisible spiderweb, enveloped the entire manor, sensing the powerful and unique life fluctuations.

Lin Wei's abdomen was already greatly swollen, exuding a heart-pounding noble aura and vigorous vitality.

Her due date was in these few days.

She was now at Star Galaxy Level initial stage cultivation. Under the continuous thirty-two years of nurturing from the Innate Venerable Body and Chen Jun's unrestrained expenditure of resources, her cultivation speed was terrifying.

At this moment, she was sitting on a soft chair next to Chen Jun, undergoing the final prenatal monitoring by a specialized medical robot, her face beaming with maternal radiance.

"Brother Jun, the little one has been moving so much lately; he must be very lively," Lin Wei said with a gentle smile, stroking her abdomen.

Chen Jun lazily hummed in response, a faint smile playing on his lips: "He takes after me, can't sit still."

If the Federation's bigwigs, who racked their brains just to get an audience with him, were to hear this, they would probably collectively spit blood—

Is there anyone in the entire Federation more "idle" than you?!

Within the manor, the other "residents" also had their own changes.

In the Star Gazing Pavilion to the east, Yun Xi's aura became increasingly profound like an abyss, her Galaxy Level Peak cultivation now completely stable.

The Innate King Body in her womb had already formed for nearly 32 years, and its nurturing power allowed her to faintly touch the threshold of the Star River Level.

She spent most of her time in quiet Cultivation, occasionally exchanging insights on Cultivation with Chen Jun across the Void Realm, maintaining a cool demeanor yet sharing an unspoken understanding.

In the side room, Yan Ji's Dragon Flame Qi became even purer and more condensed. Under the continuous nurturing of the Innate King Body, she had reached Galaxy Level Advanced, and a Breakthrough to Galaxy Level Peak was just around the corner.

This Dragon Descendant Crown Princess was now at ease in her "secluded Cultivation" here, cooperating with Chu Yueyao to manage the manor's internal affairs meticulously and flawlessly.

In the backyard sunroom, Chu Yueyao's efficiency in handling Federation government affairs had increased even further.

The Innate Radiant Body in her womb also brought considerable benefits, allowing her cultivation to steadily rise to Star Arm Level Peak, adding a touch of gentle competence to her demeanor.

To ensure Weiwei's child would be the eldest, Chen Jun secretly used Star River Level power—

To postpone the birth of Chu Yueyao's and Liu Ruyan's Radiant Body fetuses.

They needed to gestate for an additional sixteen years; of course, this would only benefit the fetuses, with no downsides.

If there was one drawback, it was that the effect of the Innate nurturing on the mother would only be half of normal.

The gestation period doubled, so the effect naturally decreased. This was a Law of the Universe that Chen Jun could not change.

Chu Yueyao managed internal affairs, and Liu Ruyan handled external matters, operating Chen Jun Manor like an impenetrable fortress.

And the "Chief Guard Officer" Liu Ruyan still conscientiously guarded her small "guard room."

Thirty-two years of Radiant Body nurturing, coupled with unlimited access to resources, allowed this battle maniac to greatly advance her cultivation, reaching Star Arm Level Peak. Her Evil Qi was restrained, but her gaze was even sharper.

Any unauthorized presence attempting to approach the main house would be met with her gaze, as if scrutinizing a cosmic criminal.

Even the innocent and naive Qing Lin, under the nurturing of the Innate Venerable Body and infinite resources, successfully Broke Through to Galaxy Level initial stage, becoming even more graceful and charming.

She still liked to bring all sorts of novel and interesting snacks to "share" with Chen Jun, making her the rare "joy-bringer" of the manor.

Chen Jun scanned the System interface with his Divine Sense, his mood growing even more pleasant.

[Number of Descendants]: 3168... trillion (Number of descendants continues to grow steadily...)

[Remaining Lifespan]: 575 years...+18...+18... (Nine hundred ninety-nine billion... years)

Over three thousand trillion descendants, under exponential growth, were a step closer to System upgrade!

The remaining lifespan acknowledged by the System also recovered to over five hundred years. Although there was still a gap before triggering the highest tier Absolute Guarantee, it was enough to handle most situations.

More importantly, in these thirty-two years, the Federation, relying on the nearly infinite source energy provided by the eternal mining facility "Shining World Celestial Vault" and a vast number of Innate Aptitude descendants, had completely digested the 2.9-level Peak civilization technology acquired from the Yaoqiong Divine Kingdom!

Although the civilization Rank had not officially Advanced due to insufficient territory, its profound foundation already far surpassed ordinary 2.9-level civilizations!

Hmm... the greatest foundation was actually Ancestor Chen!

virtual universe technology once again achieved a Breakthrough!

The consciousness time flow rate reached a terrifying 9,999 to 1!

This meant that for every day passed in reality, twenty-seven years had passed in the virtual universe!

The popularization of this technology brought about earth-shattering changes.

The Federation's total population had long surpassed the terrifying figure of one hundred million trillion, yet the already vast real-life space of each citizen not only did not shrink but appeared even more "empty." This was the power of technological progress!

Moreover, the "life," "work," "study," and even "entertainment" of most citizens had already shifted into the virtual universe.

There, they possessed nearly infinite space, resources, and time to explore, create, and grow.

Real-world planets mostly served as energy centers, material production bases, and... "ancestral lands" for spiritual solace.

Technology is the primary productive force! It is also a solid guarantee for a "lying flat and winning" life!

Chen Jun was deeply satisfied with this.

Federation citizens lived and worked in peace and contentment, diligently "competing internally," while he himself enjoyed the tranquility and leisure supported by the struggles of countless people.

This was the life a true powerhouse should have... Just then—

"Buzz—"

A strange, gentle yet undeniably authoritative energy fluctuation emanated from Lin Wei's abdomen!

Immediately after, the simulated celestial phenomenon above the manor automatically switched, countless stellar phantoms appeared, and noble purple rays of light descended, illuminating the entire Pillar of Leaders like a fairyland!

"She's going into labor!" Lin Wei exclaimed, her face filled with nervousness and anticipation.

Chen Jun instantly sat upright. Though he still maintained an unruffled demeanor, a hint of concern flickered in his eyes.

Without his command, the entire manor immediately began operating efficiently!

Chu Yueyao immediately activated the highest level medical contingency plan; a professional delivery team and equipment were instantly in place.

Liu Ruyan, with Killing Intent, cleared all "unimportant personnel" from around the main house and expanded the alert perimeter.

Yun Xi, Yan Ji, Qing Lin, and others also appeared outside the main house, waiting quietly.

Even Leng Qingqiu, who had become disheartened and remained in seclusion, seemed to be startled by this special life fluctuation, her Divine Sense vaguely sweeping over the area, carrying an indescribable complex emotion.

The birth process was exceptionally smooth.

Under top-tier medical technology and Chen Jun's secret protection, it did not last too long.

A brilliant pillar of light, formed by countless tiny stars, shot up from the delivery room, piercing through the simulated celestial phenomenon and resonating mysteriously with the real Universe stars!

"Buzz..."

An extremely subtle fluctuation, yet one that seemed to stir the joyful Law of the Universe Origin, emanated from the direction of the manor's master bedroom.

This fluctuation was not an energy impact, but a declaration of a life reaching Perfection, about to descend into the world!

Immediately after, above the master bedroom, invisible Laws automatically converged, evolving into a magnificent phenomenon of myriad stars bowing in worship and ten thousand rays of colorful light!

At the center of the phenomenon, a gentle and noble aura, as if born with partial control over the Universe's authority, suddenly bloomed like the dawn light!

"Born! Madam Lin Wei has given birth!"

Someone shouted first, their voice filled with excitement and anticipation.

Inside the manor, all the "residents'" gazes were instantly drawn.

Yun Xi pushed open the window of the Star Gazing Pavilion.

Yan Ji walked out of the side room.

Chu Yueyao put down the government documents in her hands.

Liu Ruyan even rushed directly out of the tool room, forgetting to grab her greatsword.

Even the quiet room that once belonged to Leng Qingqiu, now empty for a long time, seemed to emit a barely perceptible sigh.

Chen Jun was still sprawled in his rocking chair, merely opening his eyes slightly, a knowing smile gracing his lips.

Is the Innate Venerable Body finally making its official debut?

His Divine Sense had already swept over, "seeing" inside the master bedroom that Lin Wei, though slightly tired, was beaming with extreme happiness and maternal radiance.

She was holding? A... youth who looked about seventeen or eighteen?

The youth had ink-black hair, a face seven or eight parts similar to Chen Jun's, but with sharper features. When his eyes opened and closed, it was as if Star Rivers flowed and Universes were born and destroyed.

Though newly born, he showed no trace of childishness, exuding the noble Dao Rhyme and boundless vitality naturally brought by the Innate Venerable Body.

His cultivation had directly bypassed the Mortal stage, firmly standing at... Stellar Level Peak?!

This was the terror of the Innate Venerable Body!

Born at the Peak!

The starting point was the finish line that many individuals from Level 2.0 civilizations could hardly reach in their entire lives!

The young man's gaze swept over the concerned looks around him, finally landing on Chen Jun in the lounge chair outside the door.

He gently pulled his hand free from Lin Wei's grasp, his movements natural and fluid. He bowed respectfully to his mother, his voice clear and gentle: "Mother, you've worked hard."

Then, he slowly walked out of the master bedroom into the courtyard, and under the gaze of countless eyes, approached Chen Jun's lounge chair.

Instead of rushing into his father's arms like an ordinary child, he straightened the Star Robe that had naturally condensed on him, and gave Chen Jun a solemn, deep bow.

"Your son greets Father and requests a name."

His demeanor was composed, his bearing naturally refined.

Chen Jun scrutinized the seemingly 'mature' young man... no, youth, before him, feeling quite peculiar.

Hmm, excellent appearance, steady temperament, solid Cultivation... it's just that this 'factory setting' skipped childhood and adolescence, depriving him, as a father, of much of the fun of 'face-pinching' and 'teasing'.

"Rise. Since you are now an adult, you should have your own name. You are like the rising sun, glorifying the Star Sea, so your single name shall be 'Xu'."

"Chen Xu..." The youth softly repeated the name, the Star River in his eyes subtly swirling as if savoring its meaning, then he bowed again, his voice clear and resonant:

"Thank you, Father, for bestowing this name! Chen Xu will surely live up to this name and Father's great expectations!"

"Alright, go see your mother and sisters." Chen Jun waved his hand, slumping back into the chair as if he had completed a major task.

Chen Xu acknowledged the command, turned, and his gaze calmly swept over Yun Xi, Yan Ji, Chu Yueyao, Liu Ruyan, Qing Lin, who had gathered around, as well as his mother Lin Wei, who was surrounded by Chen Xi and his other sisters.

His steps were composed, his demeanor steady. He greeted each elder one by one, addressing them as "Mother" and "Sister," his etiquette impeccable, neither humble nor overbearing. He showed no sign of the shyness of a newborn, but rather resembled a long-absent wanderer returning home.

Yun Xi nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in her cool eyes.

Yan Ji's beautiful eyes swirled, carrying scrutiny and a touch of curiosity, and she chuckled, "Xu'er is quite composed, truly possessing Ancestor Chen's style."

Chu Yueyao responded gently, "Xu'er, there's no need for so much ceremony. We are all Family now."

Qing Lin, meanwhile, hid behind Lin Wei, peeking out her small head, blinking her big eyes, and softly muttering, "He... he looks really powerful..."

...Chen Xi and the other sisters surrounded him, one touching his robe, another sensing his aura, chattering excitedly, full of curiosity about this 'adult younger brother'.

Xuan Sha boisterously patted her younger brother... uh, realizing he was a bit taller than her, she settled for patting his shoulder. It felt solid, and she praised:

"Good kid! Stellar Level Peak right after birth! You've got guts! Later, come fight with your sis... uh, hang with your sis, I guarantee I'll take you to conquer the Star River without a single opponent!"

Chen Xu maintained a gentle smile throughout, responding appropriately to everyone's enthusiasm and attention. This was an ability learned by high-level Innate Physiques, who could perceive the outside world and learn during gestation.

Chen Jun watched this scene from afar, a strange feeling of "a grown son is no longer under his father's control" inexplicably rising in his heart.

"Tsk, having a son who skips the fun of raising him and goes straight to his complete form..." he grumbled to himself, then reconsidered, thinking it was 'less trouble' this way.

He casually picked up the nine revolutions star tea beside him and took a satisfying sip.

Seeing his Family prospering even more, especially with a son, Chen Jun felt even more content.

His mind stirred, and his Divine Sense, like invisible tentacles, quietly probed into Chu Yueyao and Liu Ruyan's bodies.

Those two Innate Radiant Body life fluctuations, which had been forcibly 'slow-developed' and delayed for sixteen years by his Star River Level power, now surged with activity like young Dragons freed from their shackles!

The immense vitality began to accelerate its circulation. Chu Yueyao and Liu Ruyan trembled almost simultaneously, feeling the sudden intensification of life's rhythm in their bellies and... the immense power about to burst forth!

"Hm?" Chu Yueyao covered her lower abdomen, a blush and surprise flashing across her face.

"Holy crap! It's happening! This old lady's going to give birth too!" Liu Ruyan shrieked directly, no longer caring about watching Chen Xu. She turned and rushed towards the already prepared delivery room, yelling as she ran:

"Medical team! Hurry! This old lady's going to give birth!"

Chu Yueyao was relatively calmer but cast a questioning look at Chen Jun.

Chen Jun nodded slightly at her, transmitting, "The time has come; just give birth with peace of mind."

Chu Yueyao understood, a gentle and expectant smile appearing on her face. Supported by a maid, she also walked towards another delivery room.

This scene once again drew everyone's attention.

"Yue Yao and Ruyan are also giving birth?" Lin Wei exclaimed in surprise. Her face was still a bit pale after just giving birth, but her spirits were excellent.

Chen Xu stood by, calmly watching the direction where his two 'step-mothers' had left, a hint of curiosity seemingly flashing in his eyes.

Although he possessed an Innate Venerable Body, he held no disdain for his younger brothers, who originated from the same source but had slightly inferior Aptitude. Instead, he felt a natural closeness.

Chen Jun watched the manor instantly become busy again, feeling the two rapidly converging Radiant Body auras about to descend, and the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened.

"Good things come in pairs, no, in threes." He squinted comfortably. "That girl Qing Lin's Venerable Body should also be due soon. I calculated the time and specifically accelerated it by over a month."

As if to confirm his words, Qing Lin, who was standing beside Lin Wei, suddenly let out an "ouch," clutching her belly, her small face scrunched up:

"Se... Senior... My... my belly seems to be... moving too!"

The Innate Venerable Body she carried had a gestation period of thirty-two years, perfectly synchronized with Lin Wei's. However, she had been completely engrossed by Chen Xu's birth just now and only reacted at this moment.

The manor instantly became even livelier!

Three pregnant women going into labor simultaneously!

Yun Xi directly used her authority to activate the manor's protective array to its maximum, isolating all external prying and interference.

Yan Ji directed the auxiliary team and medical group, ensuring everything was foolproof.

Liu Ruyan... well, Liu Ruyan was already in the delivery room, using battle roars to cheer herself on: "Come on! Liu Ruyan! You can do it! Give Chen Jun the strongest kid!"

Chen Jun remained as steady as a fisherman on a platform... no, he remained comfortably slumped in his lounge chair.

He even had the leisure to wave at Chen Xu, who was standing by, "Xu'er, come here, sit with your father."

Chen Xu obeyed, walking to his side, but did not sit down. Instead, he stood tall and straight like the most loyal guard.

"No need for formalities, sit." Chen Jun pointed to the chair beside him.

Only then did Chen Xu bow slightly and sit down, his back still straight, his gaze fixed forward, as if attending an important interstellar meeting.

Chen Jun looked at his 'little old-fashioned' appearance, chuckled inwardly, and felt like teasing him.

"Xu'er," Chen Jun began lazily, "You were born at the Stellar Level Peak. How does it feel? Is there any... discomfort? Or do you have any grand ideals?"

Chen Xu turned his head, his eyes, containing a Star River, looked at Chen Jun, his tone as serious as if giving an academic report:

"Replying to Father, your son feels very good. The energy within my body is perfectly harmonious, and I have a natural affinity for Law. There is no discomfort. As for ideals..."

He pondered for a moment, seemingly organizing his words: "Your son wishes to Cultivate diligently, explore the ultimate truths of the Universe, protect the Family, and guard the Federation, hoping to one day possess the power to shelter all beings, just like Father."

Chen Jun: "..."

Good heavens, such ideological awareness!

Not a trace of youthful impulsiveness or... chuunibyou?

"Don't you have any... other thoughts?" Chen Jun prompted, not giving up. "For example, playing games? Falling in love? Or... traveling and seeing the Star Sea?"

Chen Xu's face showed a perfectly appropriate hint of confusion: "Father, the virtual universe can simulate all kinds of game scenarios, and with higher efficiency. As for emotions and journeys, your son believes that Cultivation itself is the most extreme experience and exploration. Power is the eternal foundation."

Chen Jun: "..."

Alright, his mind is nothing but Cultivation and responsibility.

He waved his hand: "Alright, alright, as long as you're happy."

It seemed that he couldn't count on this eldest son to experience the joy of being an 'ordinary father'.

Just then—

"Boom!" "Buzz!" "Clang!"

Three distinct yet equally immense life auras surged skyward from the three delivery rooms, almost simultaneously!
