Swallowing the Stars: The Birth of a Cosmic God King

After successfully handling the remains.

Various forces further pressured Yan Ning on his demands.

The Great Northern Wilderness Martial Arts School, the Mad Demon Martial Arts School, the Underground Alliance... and even some organizations he had never heard of before, all offered increasingly outrageous conditions.

The highest-paying offer came from an unknown private armed group, with a guaranteed minimum of 80 billion yuan per year and a 20% commission with no liability.

Yan Ning was not interested in this.

"If you take one billion from someone else, you have to earn two billion for them. No matter how flexible the terms are, once you sign, how can you truly be free?"

Moreover, he has too many secrets.

A mentalist, a curved blade disc, a black god set, a cloud-piercing vine… any one of these, if exposed, would attract countless covetous eyes.

Join a martial arts school?

That would be asking for trouble.

Yan Ning continued scrolling down and saw two messages from the council at the very bottom of the message list.

The first item is a formal, official notification.

[Councilor Yan Ning]:

After careful consideration by the organization, and taking into account your outstanding performance in this heritage mission and the results of your genetic potential assessment, it has been decided to increase your reproductive mission quota from "three people in five years" to "five people in three years".

This adjustment aims to maximize the efficiency of the transmission of superior genes, contributing to the long-term survival of the human race.

For details on the specific implementation plan, please visit the Population Management Department of the Council of State in the coming days.

......

Yan Ning frowned.

Five in three years?

This requires a high level of efficiency.

However, he did not rush to object.

We'll talk about this later; there's still plenty of time before three years are up.

The second message was sent by Speaker Chou Cheng-yuan, and its wording was much more casual:

【Young friend Yan, I apologize for bothering you, but I have a question for you. Do you still have any desire to get married?】

I do have several unmarried women here who are both beautiful and talented. Their genetic potential is mostly between the second and fourth levels of apprenticeship, and they all come from prestigious families in Nanjiang Base City.

If you are interested, I can arrange a meeting.

A prestigious family?

In the past, as a retired martial artist due to illness, he wouldn't even be able to get into people's homes.

Now that he's a member of parliament, he's become a hot commodity.

But he didn't have a good impression of the phrase "prestigious family".

Years later, Yan Ning himself became a prestigious family, even a prestigious family in the universe!

Marrying women from prestigious families these days only brings more trouble.

He only wants to marry a woman from a similar family background to his and with decent talent.

To climb the social ladder?

He wasn't willing to expend so much energy and have to humble himself.

Just as Yan Ning was about to politely decline, his communication watch vibrated again.

Zhou Zhengyuan's message came again, and this time the content made him slightly surprised.

Young friend Yan, do you remember the woman we rescued during our previous mission to the ruins?

Her name is Su Wanqing. She was originally an ace scout in the special operations team, a sixth-level apprentice mentalist, and a senior warrior.

This trip to the historical site damaged her meridians and depleted her mental strength. She has already applied for medical retirement. According to the organization's requirements, she must complete the task of procreation within three years.

If you are interested, young friend, I can help you make a match.

Yan Ning stared at the message, lost in thought.

Apprentice Level Six Spiritual Master...

This genetic talent alone is enough to make countless people fight over it.

Not to mention the prestige of the title "spiritual master," in this world, the probability of a spiritual master's descendants awakening spiritual power is several times higher than that of ordinary people.

Would such a good thing really happen to him?

Yan Ning leaned back in his chair and began to make plans.

He's just a city councilor from the Nanjiang base; that's enough, but it's not enough either.

In ambiguous situations, resources of this level are generally prioritized for the War God family or those with powerful backgrounds.

unless...

What is the reason why others are unwilling to take over?

"Damaged meridians lead to the complete loss of mental and spiritual power."

"In those people's eyes, the value of a crippled mentalist is indeed greatly reduced."

But Yan Ning is different.

He has a system, the Moyun Vine, and the residual energy of the spirits of ancient plants flowing within his body.

He might be able to heal wounds that others can't.

and.

If a sixth-tier apprentice's genetic talent were to combine with his genes, the offspring would...

Yan Ning took a deep breath.

"Let's meet first and then talk."

"Let's try to get to know each other. We don't necessarily have to aim for marriage. After all, Azi is due to give birth in three months. These things can't be rushed."

......

Genting Pavilion.

The best restaurant in Nanjiang Base City.

When Yan Ning arrived, Su Wanqing was already sitting by the window.

When he first saw her, a question arose in his mind.

Will it be my turn to get it?

Su Wanqing wore a plain white dress, with long hair draped over her shoulders, fair skin, and delicate features.

After this period of recuperation, her complexion is much better than it was in the ruins; her face has regained some color, and her eyes have brightened.

A perfect score is 10, but even if it's not 9, it's at least 8.

Yan Ning knew that his appearance was not bad, no less than that of Yan Zu.

However, considering their overall status and position...

A mentalist who has retired due to illness, marrying a politician is considered a good match. However, with Su Wanqing's level of beauty and genetic talent, even if her mental abilities are ruined, she shouldn't be unwanted.

unless…

Is there something wrong with his brain?

Although the idea was somewhat impolite, Yan Ning couldn't think of any other explanation.

"Miss Su." He walked over and greeted her politely.

"Councilor Yan." Su Wanqing stood up, bowed slightly, and maintained a respectful but not servile attitude.

The two sat down, and the waiter came to take their order.

Yan Ning casually ordered a few dishes, then looked at the woman opposite him.

Su Wanqing was also looking at him.

Her gaze was direct, lacking the shyness and coyness of a young girl, but rather carrying a composure born from having experienced life and death.

"Councilor Yan, I have a question I'd like to ask first."

"Please speak."

"Do your two wives have any objections to me marrying into this family?"

Yan Ning was taken aback.

The question was so direct that he almost didn't react at all.

Realistically speaking, Shen Yao and Zhao Zixuan didn't really have any objections.

The greater good of the organization comes first.

Yan Ning isn't a womanizing scumbag, and besides, both of them are very considerate and understanding, so they wouldn't object to this kind of thing.

Yan Ning straightened his back and said confidently:

"No matter what, I am a city councilor of Nanjiang Base, a powerful warrior who cultivates both mental energy and martial arts. It is perfectly reasonable for me to marry a wife within the recommended quota."

Yes, I'm a high-ranking general now.

Su Wanqing looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"That's good."

"We're just getting to know each other today, Mr. Zhou—"

"During the trip to the ruins, my meridians were damaged, and I have no mental energy left."

"Completely incapacitated, I can only apply for medical retirement. According to the organization's requirements, I must complete the task of producing an offspring within three years."

"But I don't want to marry just anyone. Rather than marrying a stranger, I'd rather marry you."

Yan Ning opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Su Wanqing continued, "You saved me."

"His appearance matches my aesthetic standards, and I've inquired about his abilities, status, and character; he's excellent in all of them. If you don't mind, we can get our marriage certificate today."
