Deducing Godhood from the Fetal Stage

Chapter 55 Emperor Star Festival

The spaceship passed through the last pale golden atmospheric shield, and the view outside the porthole suddenly lit up.

Through his mother's eyes, Jiang Yun saw a wondrous sight he had never imagined.

On the land of the Imperial Star, countless beams of light of various colors and shapes rose from the ground, piercing the clouds, as if vying with the stars in the sky for brilliance.

Inside each beam of light, there are faint human figures sitting, standing, or floating.

Boy, girl, youth.

Their eyes were closed, their expressions ranging from solemn to pained to entranced, surrounded by illusory figures of various shapes:

Sharp and unparalleled swords, thick and ancient scrolls, endlessly spinning stars, wildly growing vines, roaring beasts, and even indistinct, vague outlines of gods and demons.

The spacecraft is slowly descending and entering the designated flight path, and the flight attendant's calm and gentle voice is broadcasting over the loudspeaker:

"Dear passengers, our ship has arrived at the Imperial Star 'Qiming' Airport. Due to the influence of the 'Awakening of Ten Thousand Souls Festival' force field, the airspace around the airport is under control. There may be slight turbulence during the landing process. Please fasten your seat belts and stow your tray tables."

"A special reminder to all passengers: pregnant women, infants, and those with psychic sensitivity are advised to avoid prolonged exposure to outdoor public areas to prevent the high concentration of astrological plagiarism from affecting the development of the fetus or young child."

"Soul Awakening Ceremony..."

Beside him, Jiang Ren let out a shocked gasp.

She unconsciously covered her protruding belly with both hands, her face appearing somewhat pale in the changing light and shadow outside the porthole, clearly witnessing such a magnificent sight for the first time.

The spacecraft finally landed smoothly after a slight tremor.

As the hatch opened, a wave of heat, a mixture of noisy voices and immense energy, instantly flooded my ears.

Through Ling Jiu's gaze, Jiang Yun finally saw clearly this planet, which was known as the center of human civilization.

Pavilions, towers, and ancient trees stand in harmony with the holographic projection skyscraper that rises from the ground and pierces the clouds. In the sky, in addition to various types of floating vehicles, there are even many floating islands of different sizes, with palaces and waterfalls, resembling a heavenly palace from mythology.

The airport was teeming with people, but almost everyone's attention was drawn to the huge holographic screen on the airport dome, which was broadcasting the grand Awakening Festival in real time.

"Hurry, hurry! The festival is at a crucial moment, and my kid's beam of light just trembled. We can't afford any mishaps!"

A well-dressed middle-aged man anxiously pulled his wife along, running quickly towards the maglev train station.

"Have you heard? A Rank A 'Flaming Emperor Sword Soul' appeared in the East Third District, and the beam of light shot up three hundred meters high! That's incredible! The temperature in that area has risen by more than ten degrees!"

"Hey, look over there, someone's taking a pregnant woman out at a time like this, they're so careless..."

A few hushed but clear comments drifted by. Several middle-aged men passing by glanced at Ling Jiu and Jiang Ren's noticeably protruding bellies, a mixture of surprise and confusion flashing in their eyes, before quickening their pace to leave.

Jiang Rang frowned slightly. He didn't speak, but simply took a half step forward naturally, using his body to subtly shield the two pregnant women behind him, blocking their probing gazes.

Even an elderly man with a cane kindly stopped and said to him as he passed by:

"Outsiders, right? Those who reside on the Imperial Star are basically involved in karma at the Dao Lord level or above, either as direct blood relatives or with labor contracts with Dao Lord companies."

"The concentration of astrological energies is completely different from that in other places!"

"So stop blocking the way and quickly find a sheltered building of level two or higher. The psionic energy outside is chaotic and bad for the children. This festival is going to last for several more days!"

Wei Yun appeared silently, having already driven out of the underground parking garage of Star Harbor in a low-key black hovercar.

"Miss, Mr. Jiang, please get in the car."

The four people got into the car, smoothly merged into the traffic, and drove towards the edge of the city.

Instead of heading towards the glittering city center, the car drove further and further off the beaten path, eventually stopping in front of an old-looking neighborhood.

The exterior walls are mottled, revealing the red bricks inside. Many of the security windows are rusted, and the corners of the walls are even covered with slippery moss.

This place is completely out of place with the glamorous and technological feel of the Imperial Star; it seems like a relic of a previous era.

Jiang Yun's curiosity was piqued.

Is this Ling's residence?

Daojun's granddaughter lives in a place like this? A thought crossed his mind, and [Divine Strategist Heavenly Evolution] quietly swept over it.

At the entrance of the residential compound, an old man wearing a white vest and shorts, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, was playing chess with someone. Three question marks appeared above his head: [???].

Not far away, an older woman was humming a tune while pruning potted plants by the flower bed, with the same question mark above her head: 【？？？】.

Only a few seven or eight-year-old kids chasing and playing around nearby had something like "[Student in Elementary School]" written on their heads.

As for the others, with his current level of understanding, he couldn't even see through a single person.

Jiang Yun immediately withdrew her senses.

I understand now. Just like that joke from my past life, it seems that on this imperial star, even a random flowerpot falling down can hit a big shot.

Ordinary but full of hidden talents.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred!

Without warning, the entire sky above the Imperial Star darkened, and then, an enormous, indescribable phantom of a god slowly emerged in the starry sky.

"SSS+ level Soul, 'Predator Matrix'!"

In the residential area, the old man who was playing chess suddenly stood up, dropping his palm-leaf fan to the ground, overturning the chessboard, and scattering chess pieces all over the floor.

"Damn! Humanity has produced another incredible genius! It's a pity he's the soul of the Iya insectoid race, but a pillar-level inheritance is still worth it!"

An invisible force field, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly transformed into visible ripples, spreading out from the core of the 'Predator Matrix' and enveloping the entire Imperial Star in an instant!

Almost simultaneously, inside the hovercar, Jiang Ren suddenly let out a piercing scream.

"ah--!"

She curled up, clutching her swollen belly tightly with both hands, large beads of cold sweat instantly appearing on her forehead, soaking the stray hairs in front of her.

"It hurts... Brother! It hurts so much! My stomach... my stomach... feels like it's going to split open!" Her voice was distorted by the excruciating pain.

Ling Jiu's expression also changed slightly.

She was protected by the Daoist Lord's power of cause and effect, and the little one in her belly was an even bigger monster, so she was safe and sound.

But Jiang Ren was different; she was just an ordinary person, and the fetus in her womb was directly exposed to the terrifying pressure of the life soul.

"Go to the Women and Children's Hospital!" Jiang Rang gripped Jiang Ren's hand tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Without saying a word, Wei Yun slammed the hovercar's accelerator to the floor.
