The Growth of a God

Chapter 779 Abnormal Reincarnation

With the powerful soul endowed by the Creator, Aten successfully reincarnated into the world of mountains and seas.

However, the specific situation seemed to be a million times different from what Atun had imagined...

There was no pregnancy, no childbirth, not even a complete birth process.

As soon as Aten opened his eyes, he saw his parents in this life - a giant beetle couple - through his complex compound eyes.

The male beetle has huge horns similar to those of a longhorn beetle, and can easily overturn a century-old tree.

The female beetle has a pair of golden elytra that reflect the sun's scorching rays.

The moment they saw Atun open his eyes, the beetle couple showed human-like smiles and joy on their faces.

"See, I told you I would definitely make your wish come true!"

Just as Atun was wondering what was going on, a wisp of light pink mist emerged from behind the beetle couple.

Then, a genie with six cicada wings appeared and spoke in a tone that seemed to be seeking credit.

"Isn't it just helping you give birth to a child? It's a piece of cake!"

Listening silently to the chatter of the genie in the magic lamp, Atun felt like a thousand horses were galloping through his heart.

Unfortunately, now he is just a newly born beetle, and even his shell has not hardened completely.

So, Aten could only watch as the female beetle stretched out its front antennae and lifted him up like a child.

"Is this the child who inherits our bloodline and power?"

Unlike the intimacy shown by the female beetles, the male beetles were happy but also inevitably confused.

Male and female beetles are people of the mountains and seas who evolved from epic creatures.

Although they have received education from the mountain and sea civilization, they are not averse to using various implants and technological products to strengthen themselves.

However, due to the habits of the first half of their lives, male and female beetles still prefer to live in mountains and forests rather than stay in cities with heavy human traces for a long time.

In addition, it is very difficult for epic creatures to reproduce, and it is basically impossible for them to give birth to several like ordinary creatures.

In this case, how to successfully impregnate female beetles becomes a huge problem.

According to the male beetle's original idea, if it really doesn't work, he will go back to the hospital in the city, believing that the skeletons there will definitely be a way to solve this fertility problem.

Before the male beetle could express his suggestion to the female beetle, they found a ghost lamp in an unknown ancient tomb.

It was an extremely abandoned ancient tomb site, and its existence might even date back hundreds of years.

The Beetle couple does not have any strong aesthetic concepts, and cannot judge the identity of the original owner of the ancient tomb from its decoration style and burial form.

Fortunately, the identity of the owner of this ancient tomb does not require too much research.

After all, looking at the entire Shanhai civilization, they would decorate their tombs gorgeously and luxuriously, and they would also hang a pink underworld lantern at the entrance in an extremely ostentatious way.

Apart from the mermaids, who are recognized as the "big dogs owners" in the Shanhai civilization, there is basically no other consideration.

The only puzzling thing is why the mermaids, who live in the sea all year round and believe in sea burials, would build a cemetery on such a land far away from the ocean?
To be honest, the Beetle couple has never commented on the aesthetic taste of mermaids, and they have no intention of delving into the origins of this ancient tomb.

However, just as the beetle couple passed by the ancient tomb.

The airflow generated by the female beetle's flapping wings coincidentally blew away the pink lamp hanging at the entrance.

Then, this pink elf who calls himself "Batis" appears and claims that he can help the Beetle couple realize any wish.

"We no longer have any wishes to fulfill..."

Carrying his mother of this life on his back, Atun faced the rising sun and listened to the conversation coming from his ears.

At this point, Atun has basically accepted the fact that he was reincarnated as a beetle. Although he was not born in a normal way, he did inherit the blood and abilities of the beetle couple.

The female beetle is an epic creature that can absorb the essence of the sun and use it to strengthen itself.

Therefore, Aten also inherited this ability of female beetles, and the shell hardened the moment its body was bathed in sunlight.

Not only that, when Aten tentatively summoned his elytra.

The golden light that was almost identical to that of the female beetle turned him into a scarab that looked like it was carved out of gold.

Aten could feel the heat from the sun gathering on his elytra.

Although it is not yet able to emit high-temperature rays like female beetles.

It can act as a temporary magnifying glass, and it is easy to focus the sun's heat to one point.

I don’t know if it’s because of my mixed blood or if it’s the influence of this special characteristic.

The characteristics of male beetles, which should have been manifested only after adulthood, also appeared in Atun ahead of time.

The male beetle has a pair of huge horns, and the only thing it is most proud of is its terrifying brute strength.

The strong shell makes the male beetle fearless of any harm...

Its terrifying brute force gave it the confidence to not be afraid of any predator...

Even if an adult blue dragon stood in front of the male beetle, it was confident that it could knock it over.

Not long after being bathed in the sun, Atun, whose shell had hardened all over his body, began to show similar symptoms.

An indestructible upper jaw, coupled with a brute force a hundred times greater than its own body size...

Atun easily chewed up the metal ore that the female beetle fed him, and once again successfully attracted the surprised gaze of the male beetle.

However, the male beetle's gaze did not remain on Atun for long before it was diverted again by the pink elf - Batis.

"No, you must make three wishes!"

The pink underworld lamp was hung on the horn of the female beetle, but Batis himself was flying around the male beetle, dragging pink smoke from his lower body.

Because Batis had long seen that the one who really had the final say in this beetle couple was the male beetle.

Following the most primitive instincts of insects, female beetles have no interest in anything other than the expectation of reproduction.

"Even if you say so... we really don't know what to wish for..."

The male beetle was flying in the front to clear the way for the female beetle, and he only took the time to respond to Batis.

Compared with other people of the mountains and seas, the epic creatures transformed from insects do have the least desires.

Not to mention, the beetle couple's personalities are among the most ascetic among all the insects.

"In that case! Then I will follow you all the way!"

"I'll follow you until you make three complete wishes!"

After glaring at the male beetle angrily, Batis said this and quickly returned to his own dark lamp.

"..."

Aten witnessed the whole thing without saying a word, but opened his mouth instinctively.

The next second, the sharp mandibles once again chewed up the unknown metal that the female beetle fed it.

With the help of these metals, Aten's physical strength increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was showing a tendency to surpass his parents.
