Shocking Phenomenon, Da Wa is Born

The Demonic Pattern White Tiger: "Meow?"

The Magic Flame Phoenix: "Jiji..."

The Mysterious Nether Tortoise: "Uh... Woof!"

These powerful spirit beasts tried their best to appear harmless, leaving Shi Bantian a bit bewildered.

A tiger meowing, a phoenix chirping... what was the meaning of a turtle barking?

These ten-thousand-year spirit beasts didn't care about such things. They all knelt down, looking as obedient as could be.

Shi Bantian found he couldn't chase these spirit beasts away no matter how hard he tried. Frowning slightly, he asked, "You... you don't plan on leaving? Are you going to follow my lead?"

The spirit beasts nodded in unison. Of course, if they didn't stay here, death would surely await them.

Shi Bantian was amused... He didn't know the specifics, but he had a feeling it had something to do with his "sons."

Since it was his sons' arrangement, Shi Bantian didn't refuse. Thus, the small, single-person hut gained several "guests."

A toothless tiger, a bird with scorched wings, a tortoise with a cracked shell.

With the addition of a few "guests," Shi Bantian's home became noticeably livelier. Moreover, these "guests" didn't need any instructions; they all worked more diligently than he did.

The tortoise was responsible for hoeing the ground and turning the soil for the gourd vine. The white tiger took care of watering, while the bird was in charge of pest control and fertilization...

Shi Bantian's workload significantly decreased. After a month of diligent care, watering, and fertilizing the gourd vine, Shi Bantian's skin had indeed darkened considerably. However, his muscles had also become more defined. The once somewhat sunny and rustic youth had, after a few days under the sun, developed a more refined aura.

It had been over a month since he parted ways with Qian Renxue!

Shi Bantian fondly recalled Qian Renxue, then glanced at the clear, cloudless sky. He wiped the sweat from his forehead as the spirit beasts trotted happily behind him.

"Daddy... Daddy... you've worked hard,"

"Thank you, Daddy... thank you, Daddy," the seven small gourds called out in unison.

Hearing the little ones chatter, Shi Bantian felt reassured and went inside to rest.

"Unknowingly... the eldest has actually become so big?"

Shi Bantian suddenly noticed the most prominent red gourd and exclaimed in surprise.

Indeed, the red gourd was now a full size larger than the others, looking as if it were about to mature.

"Da Wa, Da Wa? Why aren't you talking..."

Shi Bantian was puzzled. Da Wa was usually the most talkative, so why was he silent now?

"Daddy... Daddy, Big Brother said he's not feeling well today."

The other gourds explained.

"But it shouldn't be a big problem... Don't worry, Daddy, we'll take good care of Big Brother."

Qi Wa, the purple gourd, also said in a milky voice.

"Pro... Protect Big Brother!!"

Seeing how united the gourds were, Shi Bantian smiled with satisfaction.

As night fell, Shi Bantian returned to his room to rest as usual.

Deep in the night!

A conspicuous sight appeared on the gourd vine: the red gourd, larger than the rest, swayed precariously.

The other six gourds, seeing their eldest brother about to "emerge," swayed with the wind as if applauding. Communicating amongst themselves in their unique way, they secretly plotted:

"Big Brother... Big Brother... you're finally coming out."

"Yoohoo... I want to go out and play too. This gourd is so small. I heard Daddy say... the outside world is fun, and there's lots of good food."

"Food, food, food... Is that all you think about? Have you forgotten the most important thing? We have to go save Mother!!"

"That's right... we must save Mother... save our beautiful Mother, so Daddy can be a little happier!!"

"Okay, let Big Brother go save our beautiful Mother."

The gourds chattered excitedly, but soon Er Wa, the yellow gourd, interrupted them with a deep voice.

"Alright, stop the noise, Big Brother is coming out!"

As the words fell!

The sky, which had been clear just a moment before, immediately darkened, with thick clouds gathering, creating an oppressive atmosphere. In an instant, a bolt of lightning pierced the firmament, like a shining cold axe, splitting the dark sky in two.

Following that, a thunderous roar erupted, as if shaking the very heavens and earth. Heavy rain poured down, like countless water columns cascading directly from the sky.

The raindrops violently struck the cliff face, splashing up a misty white spray, like an avalanche. A fierce wind raged, and this scene instantly awakened all the spirit beasts in the valley!

They all looked up, completely unaware of what was happening, that such an anomaly had occurred!

Heaven Dou City!

Dugu Bo stood on a towering city wall, his brow furrowed as he looked in Shi Bantian's direction.

"Such a powerful wave of power... could it be that a formidable Beast King has appeared?"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's direction.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eyes snapped open from his seclusion. Instantly, sword energy ravaged the entire room. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Such immense power... what kind of existence is about to emerge? Could it be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast undergoing tribulation... No, no, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast's tribulation shouldn't emit such a powerful aura."

Indeed, within a radius of nearly a thousand miles, many Titled Douluo sensed this phenomenon.

At the cliffside!

Outside Shi Bantian's room, the Demonic Pattern White Tiger, Magic Flame Phoenix, and Mysterious Nether Tortoise, these powerful Spirit Beasts, were terrified by the strange phenomenon, trembling uncontrollably.

"Holy crap... this is definitely a Heavenly Tribulation, it's too much!"

"This tribulation for the gourd's emergence seems even more exaggerated than the usual tribulation for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast... what's going on with these gourds?"

"Who knows... let's just behave ourselves and not get struck down."

Their previous thoughts of rebellion completely vanished at this moment.

Just then, a green light suddenly rose from the green gourd vine.

Buzz!

A green light barrier spanning thousands of meters rose from around Shi Bantian's room, forcibly concealing the aura from this area.

And at that very moment!

A bolt of purple lightning suddenly descended from the sky, striking the red gourd fiercely. The gourd shell, hit by the lightning, split into two halves.

Boom!

Shi Bantian, inside the room, was immediately awakened by the tremendous thunder. Hearing the commotion, he rushed outside.

Then he saw the red gourd that had been split in half.

Shi Bantian's eyes immediately turned red!

"Da Wa... Da Wa, what's wrong?"

Thinking that Da Wa had met with an accident, Shi Bantian went mad. Holding the two halves of the red gourd, he collapsed on the ground and began to cry. He, Shi Bantian, had barely cried in his life! But now, he was truly heartbroken... this was his, Shi Bantian's, first child!

"Da Wa!!!"

But the next moment, Shi Bantian felt a tickling sensation on his back, as if someone was poking him.

"Daddy... Daddy, why are you crying?"

"Don't cry, don't cry... Da Wa is right here."
