Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"Mengyun, what...what did you say? You're really pregnant?"

A moment of confusion flashed across Jiang's mother's eyes, which then turned into immense shock.

Her first thought was, "Is my daughter out...?"

But the thought only flashed through her mind before Jiang's mother immediately dismissed it.

I know my own daughter well. Although she acts flamboyantly, she is definitely not the kind of person who is promiscuous.

Then, only one possibility remains...

Mengyun must have undergone in vitro fertilization.

"Of course it's true. It was just measured a few days ago, and it's a double bar."

Seeing her mother's shocked expression, Jiang Mengyun proudly raised her chin.

She leaned closer and took her mother's hand: "I haven't had a chance to tell you yet. I was planning to wait until you had time to come with me to the hospital for a proper check-up."

Jiang's mother's thoughts grew increasingly complicated, and she grasped her daughter's hand tightly: "But... does Yang Xian know about this?"

The martial arts lineage has died out, and martial artists are infertile—this is a fact known to everyone.

If the daughter really did undergo IVF behind Yang Xian's back for the sake of the child...

That's so unfair to that young man.

"Yes, of course he knows."

Jiang Mengyun nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

As the child's father, Yang Xian absolutely has to know!

What if he runs away? He must be made to take responsibility!

However, Jiang's mother interpreted these words as something else entirely.

She thought that Yang Xian knew he couldn't have children, so he generously agreed to let his daughter do IVF.

As Jiang's mother's tense nerves relaxed slightly, she couldn't help but look at her son-in-law with even greater respect.

"So... what was he thinking?"

"Yang Xian is of course very happy!" Jiang Mengyun chuckled. "From now on, he's the child's biological father!"

Hearing this, Jiang's mother was completely relieved, and a relieved smile appeared on her face: "It's naturally the best that the child thinks this way."

She had been worried that her daughter, who had married a martial artist, would never have any children.

Since Yang Xian himself does not care about blood ties and is willing to treat them as his own son.

As a mother, she no longer wanted to investigate the "origin" of her child.

The most important thing for the young couple is to live a good life together.

It would both preserve the Jiang family's bloodline and prevent the couple from being separated, which would be the best of both worlds.

Mother Jiang picked up her teacup again: "Since that's the case, once he returns safely from the secret realm, you should hurry up and hold the wedding. We can't delay any longer."

"Mmm." Jiang Mengyun nodded obediently.

But then, she blinked and asked with a hint of playfulness:

"But Mom, aren't you even a little curious about... who the biological father of this child in my belly is?"

Jiang's mother's hand, holding the teacup, froze in mid-air, and the smile on her face instantly vanished.

What does that mean?

Wasn't it done through a gene bank in vitro?

Did the daughter really do something to betray Yang Xian?

Seeing that her mother remained silent for a long time, Jiang Mengyun decided to stop being mysterious and just lay it all out.

You might not believe it...

"Actually, the child is Yang Xian's!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother shook her head:

"Mengyun! This is no laughing matter!"

"After a martial artist awakens, their genetic chain undergoes irreversible changes, making it impossible for them to reproduce."

The extinction of martial arts lineages is an ironclad rule known to everyone for the past three hundred years!

Over the past three hundred years, the world's top scientists have tried countless methods, including gene editing, cell induction, and artificial cultivation, but all have failed!

Without exception!

Jiang Mengyun, in a panic, quickly explained:

"Mom! I'm telling the truth! I'm not lying to you!"

"The child really is Yang Xian's! His body is different from other martial artists; his martial arts lineage has not died out..."

"Even after awakening, they retain the ability to have sexual intercourse!"

As she spoke the last few words, her cheeks flushed slightly.

The tea room fell silent instantly.

Jiang's mother sat there blankly, her daughter's last words echoing repeatedly in her mind.

Her lips moved, and she murmured unconsciously.

"The path of martial arts has no end..."

"Retains the ability to have intercourse..."

"Mengyun, is everything you said true?"

"Of course!" Jiang Mengyun pointed to her belly, "The baby in my belly is the best proof."

variable!

A variable has emerged for humanity!

"Dream Cloud!"

Jiang's mother exclaimed in surprise, "Why didn't you tell us about something so important sooner?!"

Jiang Mengyun was startled by her mother's sudden and violent reaction and was somewhat confused about what was going on.

She replied, feeling wronged, "I...I wanted to tell my dad once, but he interrupted me..."

"Oh dear!" Jiang's mother stood up in alarm.

"My dear daughter, you have no idea what Yang Xian means to all of humanity!"

Jiang Mengyun is still young and has spent most of her time being "free-range" in the relatively comfortable Area A. She doesn't really know much about the deep-seated crises faced by the human elite.

Only older generations like Jiang's mother truly understand how heavy a mountain the phrase "the martial arts lineage is cut off" really is.

Jiang Mengyun was completely confused: "What does that mean?"

Looking at her bewildered daughter, Jiang's mother's voice trembled:

"This means that humanity can break the three-hundred-year-old curse of 'the extinction of martial arts lineage'!"

"If his child inherits his special gene, then that child's child can then mate with someone else, and the inheritance can continue..."

"Give us enough time, and this gene can gradually spread to all of humanity!"

"In a few hundred years, or even a few decades, we humans will no longer have to worry about the extinction of martial arts!"

Jiang Mengyun was completely dumbfounded.

what?

Yang Xian... is he really that amazing?

She just thought her husband was amazing, that he could get her pregnant, and that he could break the mold.

But she never expected that her mother would elevate the significance of this matter to a strategic level concerning the survival of all humankind!

Jiang's mother took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"I remember, today is the day we enter Secret Realm 121, isn't it..."

"You silly girl! How could you bear to send Yang Xian to such a dangerous secret realm?!"

"I...I didn't want to either..." Jiang Mengyun was on the verge of tears, "But Yang Xian insisted on going, to find medicine for Great-Grandpa..."

"You! You!" Jiang's mother quickly ran towards the communication device next to her.

"I'll contact your father right away! He'll have him arrange for someone to bring our good son-in-law back immediately!"

"Hopefully...hopefully it's not too late..."
