Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 569 The Hidden Uses of the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus

"Phew, it's finally over. Absorbing four million-year spirit rings at once is no easy feat."

Inside the small house, Jing Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and muttered to himself. At this moment, the Xuanyuan Sword Martial Soul was floating beside Jing Chen, its ten golden soul rings looking extremely dazzling.

Sheathing the Xuanyuan Sword Martial Soul, Jing Chen extended his right hand, and the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus appeared in his palm, slowly floating. Staring at the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus, Jing Chen seemed to let out a soft sigh.

Actually, he quite hoped that this thing would never be needed. Once it was used, even Jing Chen himself couldn't guarantee what the consequences would be.

It's not that the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus has too many side effects, because as mentioned before in Douluo Continent, the only loss is ten levels of soul power, and the inability to use the tenth soul ring and godhood. Even so, Jing Chen is still a level ninety titled Douluo.

Jing Chen's concern was that if he were to ever use the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus, he might lose control and become an even more terrifying being than the Calamity Poison Body. Furthermore, his Creation Divine Eye had already been fully upgraded. With the Creation Divine Eye combined with Jing Chen's own strength, even a Dou Di-level super powerhouse in this world would likely perish.

"I hope I don't have to use the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus."

After putting away the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus, Jing Chen closed his eyes and cultivated for a while before getting out of bed.

After getting up and stretching, Jing Chen checked the time and realized it had taken him three hours to absorb the spirit ring. He was at a loss for words regarding this amount of time.

After calculating, he realized that if he stayed a little longer, it would be time to devour the strange fire. He shook his head vigorously to clear his mind before stepping out of the small house.

Xiao Wu was still in her room, tidying up. The bed was covered with clothes—all of them Xiao Wu's. She folded the clothes neatly, then turned and put them into the wardrobe. Although Xiao Wu was pregnant, her mobility was still quite good.

"Xiao Wu? Why are you doing something like this?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out from behind Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu turned around in surprise and saw Jing Chen standing behind her, frowning and looking somewhat displeased.

"It's okay, brother. I can do this myself," Xiao Wu said with a smile.

Jing Chen grabbed Xiao Wu's hand, which was about to fold clothes, and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Now you're going to be a mother. In the future, try not to do these things yourself if you don't have to. There are so many sisters in the Hundred Flowers Palace, let them help you."

"But, brother."

"No buts! Listen to your brother!" Jing Chen interrupted Xiao Wu directly, pulling her into his arms and gently inhaling the fragrance of her hair.

"Icarus, come to Xiaowu's room," Jing Chen said directly.

Xiao Wu raised her head and glanced at Jing Chen, but after meeting Jing Chen's eyes, which symbolized that there was no room for negotiation, she opened her mouth but said nothing.

Jing Chen had barely finished speaking when there was a knock on Xiao Wu's door. Jing Chen released Xiao Wu and turned to open the door. Icarus, dressed in casual clothes with a pair of snow-white wings on her back, stood outside.

"What's wrong, Master?" Icarus tilted his head slightly and asked.

"Icarus, you will be in charge of Xiaowu's care until she gives birth," Jing Chen said.

"Yes, Master." Icarus nodded gently and went directly into Xiaowu's room, folding the clothes on the bed that were not yet folded.

Seeing Icarus begin his work, Xiao Wu was at a loss. If she resisted Jing Chen now, she wouldn't be tortured, but her girlfriends would likely face dire consequences.

Icarus was indeed quite fast; from entering to completely cleaning, it only took her ten minutes. Even Xiao Wu was somewhat ashamed of her own speed. But then again, humans can never compare to artificial angels.

Jing Chen waited until Icarus finished tidying up before taking Xiao Wu's hand and leaving the Hundred Flowers Palace. Icarus stayed close behind Xiao Wu and Jing Chen the whole time.

Inside a small grove of trees, there was a small pavilion. Jing Chen led Xiao Wu into the pavilion and sat down to admire the surrounding scenery. Icarus stood outside the pavilion, watching Jing Chen inside.

"Icarus, come in too," Jing Chen said to Icarus outside.

Having received Jing Chen's order, Icarus slowly walked into the pavilion and sat down on the other side of Jing Chen.

With a casual wave of his hand, Jing Chen conjured a teapot on the stone table inside the pavilion. Just as Jing Chen was about to stand up and brew a pot of tea, Icarus beat him to it, standing up first to make tea.

"Brother, isn't it a bit inappropriate to order Icarus and the others around like this?" Xiao Wu asked hesitantly.

Jing Chen sighed and said, "There's no way around it. They are still different from ordinary people. Strictly speaking, they are not human. Whether it's Icarus, Nymph, Astraea, or Aurejana, all four of them are artificial angels. Even now, I still don't have a particularly good way to help them become true angels."

"Is that so? They're quite pitiful then, brother. If there's any way, you must help them." Hearing Jing Chen say this, Xiao Wu seemed a little downcast, but she still wanted to help them.

"Yes, I will."

While the two were talking, Icarus brought over a pot of brewed tea, placed two cups, poured tea into each, and then sat obediently next to Jing Chen.

After finishing his tea, Jing Chen suddenly remembered the system and couldn't help but ask, "System, could you do me a favor?"

"Speak your mind, or shut up!"

"Hey, is there any way to turn Icarus and the other three into real angels? It feels like a waste to keep them as artificial angels. Such powerful combat strength shouldn't just be used as artificial angels."

"Yes, you're right."

"Right, right? So can you help me?"

"You're right, but there's nothing I can do."

"Then what are you talking about? Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?"

"Get lost! I said I have no way, not that anyone else has no way!"

"No, dear Mom, please don't be angry, tell me!"

"Twin Lotus Blossoms of Yin and Yang"

"The Yin-Yang Twin Lotus? Isn't it only for resurrecting the dead? Can it be used like this?"

"The description of the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus does state that it can only revive the dead, but I didn't say that the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus has no other uses. This is a hidden description of the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus, which was originally meant for you to discover on your own. But since you're asking for my help now, I'll tell you."

"Please tell me, please tell me."

"The Yin-Yang Twin Lotus, the Yin Lotus is used to absorb death energy. This death energy is then transformed into corresponding energy usable by the host through the Yin Lotus's own purification system. The Yang Lotus, on the other hand, can directly devour a portion of the host's power, thus directly reviving a person. However, when the Yin Lotus and Yang Lotus are used simultaneously, their powers neutralize each other. In other words, the Yin Lotus doesn't simply absorb death energy, and the Yang Lotus doesn't simply absorb death energy either. This is equivalent to endowing the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus with the ability to create. Do you understand now?"

"Understood, thank you for your guidance, Mom!"

After ending his conversation with the system, Jing Chen looked at Icarus beside him and said, "Icarus, go and call Nymph, Astraea, and Allegana over here. I have something to ask you."

"Yes, Master."

Icarus answered and went to find the three men.

Xiao Wu tilted her head and looked at Jing Chen, asking, "Brother, why did you suddenly call them over?"

"I have a way to help them," Jing Chen said with a slight smile.

"Really? What's the method?" Xiao Wu asked, somewhat surprised.

"You'll find out soon enough," Jing Chen said mysteriously.

A short while later, Icarus arrived with Nymph, Astraea, and Oregana.

Looking at the four artificial angels before him, Jing Chen asked, "Now, I can make you into real angels, but you can also choose to continue living as artificial angels. Of course, after you become real artificial angels, I will retain all the abilities you possess. You can understand it as me giving you a heart and a physical body."

"Really? Really? I want to become a real angel!" Nymph was overjoyed. Becoming a real angel would be the best thing for her.

"Me too, me too!" Astraea also made her choice.

"Um...can I choose too? I want to too." Olegana seemed a little scared, but she still made her choice.

Jing Chen and Xiao Wu's gazes simultaneously fell on Icarus, quietly awaiting his answer.

"Does Master not want me anymore?" Icarus asked, seemingly somewhat sad.

"That's not what I meant! Even if you become a real angel, you will still be my angel, and I will still be your master. The only difference is that you will be able to feel many, many emotions. You will also be able to experience many feelings that an artificial angel cannot."

"I want to too."

Jing Chen's lips curled up slightly, and he extended his right hand, revealing a yin-yang lotus in full bloom.
