Er Wa's Birth: "Since that's the case, then I'll just come out."

"Daddy... Daddy, I'm hungry, I want water."

"Daddy... I'm hungry too."

"Daddy... I'm so hot!"

The gourds started chattering noisily, but Shi Bantian didn't feel annoyed at all.

"Okay... Daddy will be right there."

Shi Bantian squinted and smiled, and a fiery red bird and a dark black turtle also quickly moved.

One fertilized, one watered.

"Comfortable... Thank you, Daddy."

"Heh heh... Hahahaha."

The little gourds quickly became happy again. Shi Bantian watched this scene with great satisfaction, having completely come to see these six gourds as his own children.

Every day, he looked forward to these children breaking free from their gourds and coming out, just like Da Wa. Speaking of Da Wa...

A flicker of worry crossed Shi Bantian's eyes. Da Wa had been gone for so long; he didn't know how he was doing. As a father, he was truly worried about Da Wa's safety, even though he knew Da Wa was very powerful.

At this moment, the gourds that had been playing and fighting seemed to sense something and suddenly fell silent. Unease, panic, and anger spread among them.

"Big brother, why is big brother's aura suddenly weakening? What's going on?"

One of the little gourds said anxiously. The other little gourds also voiced their questions and worries.

"I can feel a powerful force eroding big brother's body!" another little gourd said nervously.

"What's going on? Did big brother fail to save Mom?" one of the gourds guessed.

"That's impossible... How could big brother, who is so powerful, fail!!!"

"Impossible, impossible!!!"

The gourds shouted, but deep down, they knew Da Wa was not in a good state and might have been captured by that so-called Spirit Hall.

"It must be that Spirit Hall used some scheme or trick to defeat big brother!"

Just then, a little gourd suddenly spoke, "We must find a way to save big brother!" Its voice was full of determination.

The other little gourds responded in unison, "Save big brother, save big brother!!!"

Shi Bantian also heard the gourds chattering outside. His heart suddenly tightened. What... Da Wa had an accident? He said this and was about to go out.

The six gourds on the vine excitedly shouted, "Daddy... Daddy, save big brother, save Mom!"

"Daddy!" These calls made Shi Bantian flustered for a moment.

"Alas... what did you guys just say? Da Wa was captured by Spirit Hall?"

Shi Bantian asked with some urgency.

"It should be. We felt big brother's aura weaken... and also felt his resistance. Spirit Hall must have used some scheme or trick to defeat big brother."

"Exactly, they must have used a scheme or trick!"

The gourds explained in a back-and-forth manner.

Shi Bantian's expression was extremely distressed. He didn't doubt that the gourds could sense Da Wa's situation from miles away; after all, these gourds were inherently miraculous.

"So... Da Wa was really captured by Spirit Hall? Damn it... Those demons from Spirit Hall first captured my Xiao Xue, and now they've captured my Da Wa."

Shi Bantian was furious.

"No, I have to save Da Wa!!"

He had barely reached the fifth ring during this time and already had the strength to fight.

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

But the calls from the gourds behind him made him stop.

Shi Bantian's eyes were filled with resentment. He realized that he still had six adorable gourds at home who needed protection. If he rashly went to take risks, he would not only be unable to save Da Wa but might also endanger the other children.

Thinking of this, Shi Bantian's footsteps became heavy, his heart filled with conflict and helplessness.

Ultimately, he, Shi Bantian, was too weak to even protect his children. If Xiao Xue found out, she would surely be very disappointed.

Just then, a clear, tender child's voice suddenly rang out, "Daddy... Daddy, I'll go save big brother and Mom!!"

This voice instantly reached Shi Bantian's ears. He suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the orange little gourd.

Shi Bantian could hardly believe his ears and quickly asked, "Is that Er Wa? Was that you speaking just now?"

"Daddy, it's me. Let me go save big brother and Mom!" The orange little gourd spoke again, its tone full of determination and confidence.

A surge of emotion welled up in Shi Bantian's heart, but it was mixed with more worry. He frowned and said, "Nonsense, you're still just a gourd. How can you save your big brother and Mom?"

The orange little gourd seemed to be choked by Shi Bantian's words. After a while, its unconvinced voice came through, "Then I'll just come out!"

Just then, with a loud "bang," the previously calm sky suddenly changed, and countless lightning bolts rolled in the clouds, flashing with heart-pounding light. All the spirit beasts in the entire forest felt this anomaly. They trembled in fear, as if sensing a great disaster was about to descend.

The weather at this time was almost identical to when Da Wa first came out. Fierce winds howled, and thunder roared, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Meanwhile, a dazzling golden light shot up from the gourd, like a brilliant shooting star streaking across the sky. This golden light was so dazzling that it instantly illuminated the entire sky, making it impossible to open one's eyes. Its speed was incredibly fast, as swift as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it vanished into the distant horizon, leaving behind a dazzling golden afterglow.

Such a powerful aura naturally shocked others as well.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eyes snapped open from his secluded cultivation.

His gaze was filled with confusion and shock: "This powerful aura... it's so familiar!"

He recalled carefully, suddenly remembering that he had felt a similar aura more than a month ago. At that time, he had thought it was an illusion, but now it seemed it was not.

"What on earth is going on?" Sword Douluo Chen Xin muttered to himself.

He felt very perplexed. Two such powerful auras had appeared consecutively within a month, and both felt familiar to him. This situation was too strange, making him feel wary.

And at the same time, that mysterious aura disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before, like a fleeting flower.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's brow furrowed, and he pondered in his heart what all of this truly meant.

At this very moment, not only within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but also within the imperial families of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, as well as top powers like Spirit Hall, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Clear Sky Sect, everyone was stunned by what had just happened.

Their thoughts were all focused on the entity that had released the powerful aura.

What exactly was going on?
