Chapter 2144: Chapter 712: Old Friends

One hour later, Chu Xisheng carefully examined a newborn baby in his hands.

The baby’s form closely resembled that of a Human Clan newborn, chubby and wrinkled, with only slight differences in some body details.

His face was indistinguishable from that of the Human Clan, but his joints, shoulder blades, and chest and abdomen areas all bore some shell remnants unique to the Insect Race.

However, the shells were very small, especially those at the joints, which appeared like decorative lines on him.

Additionally, this little creature was originally male in Consort Zhuang’s womb, but now had become female.

This was a monster created by Chu Xisheng using the Ruyi Skill, forcibly combining the genes and flesh of ’Jinghong Sword Immortal’ Bai Lingxi and the Daluo Ant Clan, making this Ant Queen bear the bloodlines of both Human Clan and Daluo Ant Clan.

Chu Xisheng thought that from the perspective of genetic bloodline, Shen Jingli could be considered the father of the Ant Queen, while Consort Zhuang and the entire Daluo Ant Clan could be her mother.

No, that’s not right—— The body of ’Jinghong Sword Immortal’ Bai Lingxi was embedded by Shen Jingli with Lifebound Essence Blood into a Human Clan infant, gradually cultivated, and then devoured and imitated by Consort Zhuang.

Anyway, the relationship was quite messy, and the source of the baby’s bloodline was also very complicated.

However, Chu Xisheng’s gaze was not as sharp as it was earlier.

Beside him, Consort Zhuang was utterly miserable.

She didn’t know what to do, completely trapped in a dazed status.

The Ant Queen, after birth, was supposed to be in an egg status, continuing to hatch within.

Chu Xisheng’s interference forced the Ant Queen to be born viviparously, inheriting half of the Human Clan bloodline, no longer a Pure Blood Daluo Ant Clan.

Her soul was also unknowingly manipulated by this Saint Emperor, making it hard to evade control in the future.

Additionally, Consort Zhuang herself had been transformed by Ruyi Power.

Her current imitation shape had entirely merged with the flesh of ’Jinghong Sword Immortal’ Bai Lingxi, unable to be separated.

During the entire process, Consort Zhuang was unable to resist, nor did she dare confront it.

Yet she wondered the significance of this half-blooded Ant Queen to the Daluo Ant Clan?

From this moment on, their clan was officially extinct, unable to propagate a true Daluo Ant Clan.

"Are you planning to treat her as a male ant?"

Chu Xisheng sensed Consort Zhuang’s extremely poor status, and couldn’t help but shake his head: "No need to be so despondent, incest is bad, I’m helping you."

Consort Zhuang couldn’t help but grind her teeth.

They were the Daluo Ant Clan! How could the bloodline continuation be viewed with Human Clan morals?

"You seem disgusted? Do you still want this child or not? If not, give her to me, I have a use."

As Chu Xisheng spoke, he used Divine Power to suppress the growth of the Ant Queen.

This little fellow grew incredibly fast, almost growing visibly in the wind.

If Chu Xisheng hadn’t intentionally controlled it, the baby in his hands could grow to adulthood in an instant.

But growing too fast wasn’t good, detrimental to her Innate Divine Body.

"How could I not want her?"

Consort Zhuang suddenly looked up, her eyes crimson as she gazed at Chu Xisheng: "Your Majesty, I know our Ant Clan is deeply sinful. But she is the last blood of our Ant Clan! Whatever you want to make me do is fine, just spare this child."

She had been enduring until now, solely to preserve her child.

No matter the state of the Ant Queen now, she was still something dropped from her womb.

This Human Clan’s Saint Emperor wanted to force her into a deadly showdown.

"Then you should give her to me even more."

Chu Xisheng tucked the baby into a piece of Void within his sleeve: "Don’t worry, I won’t kill her, on the contrary, I’ll offer her a great fortune greatly benefiting her future. With my Dragon Energy infused in her cultivation, she will only grow better, mother and daughter both as Dragon Guard, wouldn’t it be a wonderful tale?"

The Ant Queen’s potential was immense, enough to replace Chu Ming, becoming his sharpest weapon.

Consort Zhuang instinctively resisted at first.

But she soon frowned, suppressing her impulse to struggle.

She knew she couldn’t be a match for Chu Xisheng.

This fellow within the Divine Continent Realm, even if his power was not as strong as Ancestor Gods, it wasn’t far off.

Even if she forcefully struck, it would be a waste of life.

Moreover, Chu Xisheng’s reputation was excellent, Consort Zhuang had yet to hear of him doing anything deceitful.

Since he said so, it’s likely true.

"You don’t object, I’ll consider it as your consent."

Chu Xisheng strode into the Void: "Your epidemic prevention and disaster response in North State is commendable, I’m very satisfied, do continue to strive."

Number one Bai Lingxi, this North State Governor, indeed proved to be quite competent.

Since assuming the role of North State Governor, she had occupied vast fertile lands for cultivation by Human Clan migration. She consciously stirred panic, compelling numerous Alien Races to flee northward, heading to Central Earth.

Her policy of replacing birds with baskets was excellently executed, without any slaughter, preserving Chu Xisheng’s holy reputation, yet reducing the Alien Race population in North State by one-third, while reclaiming all prime land and strategic assets into the hands of the Dalv Court.

After changing regimes, Consort Zhuang promptly altered her policies.

On one hand, she ordered tribes everywhere to enforce curfews, and to stay indoors as much as possible during the day while strictly guarding against fire; on the other hand, she demarcated hundreds of regions within North State, each spaced a hundred miles wide, ensuring that even if an epidemic occurred, it wouldn’t spread on a large scale.
