"Madam, push!"
Three years had flown by in a hurry, and at last, the day Qin Feng was to be born had arrived.
The entire Qin Family was bustling with activity. All of its elite disciples stood on high alert. This was a major event—the Qin Family was about to welcome another Heavenly Pride—and anyone suspicious was to be executed first and reported afterward.
"Why isn't it over yet?!"
Qin Tian paced anxiously outside the room. Hearing his wife's heart-wrenching cries from within made his heart ache.
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine!"
The Several Qin Clan Ancestors claimed to be seasoned veterans with experience in such matters. They sat calmly in the courtyard, sipping tea, though their eyes kept darting toward the door. It was clear they weren't quite as calm as they let on.
Heavenly Rank techniques were rare, but as the Number One Clan of the Ancient Wasteland, the Qin Family could still lay their hands on plenty of them.
What they truly cared about was Qin Feng himself. He had created a technique above the Heavenly Rank while still in the womb. His compatibility with it was bound to be one hundred percent, and once he matured, he would be invincible among those of the same level.
He was like a nuclear deterrent. No family would ever complain about having too many experts like him.
What's more, this was a world like the Ancient Wasteland, where the strong ruled. If they wanted their family to remain powerful and prosperous, the more experts, the better. They had high hopes for this little fellow who had yet to be born.
At that moment—
Qin Feng sensed his second younger brother trying to usurp his place as the eldest. Furious, he kicked him away.
Ever since he activated the halo of the Emperor's Talent and began cultivating the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Technique, he had beaten up his younger brother every day without fail, successfully establishing his authority as the big brother.
Now, whenever the little fellow sensed him move, he immediately cowered in a corner, trembling. Qin Feng always got first dibs on the daily Immortal Fluid, too. Only after Qin Feng had eaten his fill could his little brother drink the leftovers.
As for his Villain Points, after three uninterrupted years of beating up his younger brother, he had amassed over thirty-three thousand two hundred. He was just waiting to get out and splurge.
"My three-year term is up. It's time for me to be born!"
Qin Feng could practically see the light ahead. He couldn't wait to get out.
"Ah, ah..."
Yun Xiyue writhed on the bed, her small hands clutching the sheets. The little fellow had nearly driven her mad.
A scream rang out. Yun Xiyue finally reached her limit, and Qin Feng came into the world, loudly announcing his birth to the Ancient Wasteland.
Only, he couldn't make any actual sounds yet. To everyone else, it was just a loud cry.
"Waaah, waaah..."
"He's born! He's born! My son, Qin Feng, has arrived!"
Outside, Qin Tian was so excited he could barely form a coherent sentence. The heavy stone in his heart finally dropped.
Whether it was fate or some other reason, after the Qin Family discussed it, they decided to name him Qin Feng.
"Ding-dong. The system has detected the birth of the Destined Arch Villain. A special celestial phenomenon has been arranged!"
Rumble!
Lightning and thunder suddenly filled the sky. The clear blue above turned dark with clouds, and the heavens dimmed. A strange, blood-red moon appeared overhead.
A strange sign in the heavens meant evil would run rampant!
"A celestial phenomenon! My son Qin Feng truly has the Emperor's Talent!"
Qin Tian threw back his head and laughed excitedly, as if he wanted to announce the good news to the whole world.
The Qin Family Disciples around them hurried forward as well, congratulating their clan head on having such a fine son.
But the Several Qin Clan Ancestors, who should have been just as happy, stared solemnly at the blood moon in the sky.
When the blood moon rose, evil emerged!
When the blood moon appeared, the nation would decline, its lifeblood exhausted, as if sinking into hell.
If the moon changed color, disaster would follow. Green meant famine and worry; red meant strife and war; yellow meant gain and joy; white meant drought and death; black meant floods, sickness, and death.
It foretold that the righteous energy of the world would weaken while Evil Qi, resentment, and ferocity flourished. The winds and clouds would shift violently, the mountains and rivers would mourn, the realm would fall into turmoil, and flames would rise everywhere.
"This child may bring a calamity upon the Ancient Wasteland..."
The Several Qin Clan Ancestors exchanged grave looks. There was no way they could abandon their own young prodigy.
If a great calamity could not be avoided, then the Qin Family would choose to fight.
Other forces throughout the Ancient Wasteland also stared solemnly at the blood moon. They hurriedly sent out their subordinates to find out whose family had given birth to this prodigy. At the same time, they began making plans for the coming calamity, and the seemingly peaceful Ancient Wasteland grew rife with undercurrents.
At that moment—
Qin Feng had been cleaned up and carried over to Qin Tian.
"So this is my cheap dad. He's so ugly!"
The moment Qin Feng saw his cheap dad, his dream of becoming a handsome man shattered. With a burly, rough-looking fellow like this, he couldn't help wondering whether his biological mother had given birth to him just to get back at his father.
But when he saw his mother lying on the bed, her face pale, his disappointment was somewhat soothed.
Her brows were like kingfisher feathers, her skin like fresh snow, her waist as slender as a bolt of silk, and her teeth like rows of seashells. She was the most beautiful woman in ancient-style clothing he had ever seen. It seemed his own looks wouldn't be too bad, either. He ought to have no trouble getting by on his face.
"Good, good, good! My son Qin Feng truly has the Emperor's Talent!"
After examining his son's root bone, Qin Tian grinned from ear to ear.
There was no helping it!
His son's root bone was truly terrifying, more than ten times stronger than that of other newborns.
On top of that, he had unconsciously begun cultivating in the womb. He already possessed a cultivation of the sixth level of the Qi-Blood Realm at birth. Even the talented eight- or nine-year-old children of the same clan couldn't compare to him.
Just then—
The midwife suddenly cried out, "Oh! There's another baby in Madam's belly. They're twins!"
"Twins?!"
The Qin Family members immediately lost their composure.
They had always thought Yun Xiyue was carrying just one child. Who would have guessed it was twins? And if the first child was already so terrifying—comprehending a technique above the Heavenly Rank, triggering a celestial phenomenon, and possessing the Emperor's Talent—
then surely the brother who shared the same womb would be just as extraordinary, right?
Everyone waited eagerly, but after examining her, the midwife shook her head. The second child wasn't willing to come out just yet.
He wasn't trying to prove how special he was. He wanted everyone to know that he would personally take back the nourishment he'd lost. He was claiming that twin room for himself.
"What do you mean, he doesn't want to come out?!"
Qin Tian immediately lost his composure. He reached out with his thick right hand, grabbed the midwife by the collar, and demanded that she deliver the second child no matter what.
"Well..."
The midwife was in a difficult position. She had already examined the child.
The second child was still too small and clearly malnourished. If she forced the delivery now, he would surely be born premature and underdeveloped. He needed at least another three years in the womb.
Three years?!
And then another three years?!
Qin Tian crumpled on the spot when he heard that. He hadn't expected he would have to wait another three years.
But no matter how unwilling he was, he had to consider the bigger picture. He could only use a secret technique once more to delay the second child's birth by three years.
"This fantasy world is pretty absurd. You can give birth to one and keep the other inside?!"
Qin Feng stared in disbelief. His heart began screaming wildly.
There's a mole among us!
Hurry up and stuff me back inside! I can keep beating up my little brother...
