Today's third update: Chapter 3507! 3/4!
The higher-tier method of "viviparous birth" was how Xu Caiyi and the vast majority of gifted races—including the main body of the Human Race—were born.
Life took shape within the mother's womb and was born only after undergoing a complete embryonic development stage.
Viviparous individuals were usually relatively weak at the outset, requiring a long period of nurturing and protection. Their growth cycle was comparatively slow, with distinct life stages such as childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
Compared to the descendants of many powerful oviparous bloodlines, who could run and jump soon after hatching, viviparous creatures did indeed seem fragile in the early stages of life.
However, the strength of viviparous birth lay in its unparalleled "completeness of inheritance" and "plasticity"!
They could almost perfectly inherit the bloodline genes and innate potential of both parents, and might even fuse and mutate into stronger traits.
Although their lower limit at the start might be lower, their upper limit for growth was often extremely high, with tremendous potential in reserve.
This was precisely the core advantage of gifted races—though they might be weak by nature, they could continuously break through their limits through learning, cultivation, and fortuitous opportunities, achieving an immeasurable future.
To put it in a common saying: late bloomers, with limitless potential.
Back then, the reason the Succubus Race's infamous Biological Project had chosen Human Race women as its optimal mothers was that the Human Race could push viviparous birth to its limits and nurture hybrids of bloodlines that were originally incompatible!
Then what of Spontaneous Birth, ranked first among the Four Births and the rarest, most mysterious method of all?
That involved higher levels of the laws of life and the creation of heaven and earth...
The most profound and mysterious form of
