A Cute Baby Descends

Douluo Continent.

Spirit Hall, back mountain.

Amidst the chirping of cicadas, a meteor streaked across the night sky and slammed heavily into the ground.

Within the swirling smoke, some strange object seemed to have landed inside the deep crater.

The commotion caused by the meteor landing on the back mountain instantly caught the attention of the Spirit Hall soul masters on night duty.

In the blink of an eye, a Blazing Spirit Kite with a wingspan of nearly six meters whistled out of Spirit Hall, followed closely by a sturdy Ghost Leopard.

A few minutes later, two figures appeared before the crater where the meteor had landed, both gazing at the object inside with astonishment.

No one would have expected that this mysterious object from the heavens was actually a child sleeping soundly in swaddling clothes.

The child looked like a newborn, with a delicate, porcelain-like face that was incredibly endearing.

Perhaps worried that her true form would frighten the little baby, Spirit Kite Douluo dispelled her martial soul avatar and signaled for Ghost Leopard Douluo to step back.

That rugged face of his, capable of scaring soul beasts to death, was better kept at a distance.

"Ghost Leopard, it's a child! A child that fell from the sky!"

Spirit Kite Douluo frowned. In all her years at Spirit Hall, this was the first time she had ever seen a child fall from the heavens.

"Spirit Kite, bring him up first! This matter is too bizarre; we must report it to Her Majesty the Pope immediately."

Ghost Leopard Douluo stepped forward a few paces. After confirming that the object in the crater was indeed a child, he immediately advised Spirit Kite Douluo to bring the baby up.

Spirit Kite Douluo nodded, then leaned over, intending to pick up the child in the crater.

Yet, despite trying several times, her palms could not touch the infant's swaddling clothes.

"Ghost Leopard, this child seems to be protected by some kind of barrier. My hands cannot touch his body."

Spirit Kite Douluo's brows were tightly knit, her face filled with astonishment.

Ghost Leopard Douluo, looking skeptical, approached the crater. He watched the sleeping infant inside and slowly extended his own palm.

But the result was the same as what Spirit Kite Douluo had described; his palm was blocked by a five-colored film of light just as it was about to touch the baby.

Ghost Leopard Douluo tried to channel his soul power into his palm, attempting to forcibly break the barrier protecting the infant, but after several failed attempts, he gave up!

This situation made both Ghost Leopard Douluo and Spirit Kite Douluo feel increasingly tense.

As elders of Spirit Hall, their combat strength was among the most elite in the entire Douluo Continent.

Yet, even so, neither of them could break the barrier around this fallen infant. Could it be that this child was an existence surpassing a Title Douluo?

"Spirit Kite, you stay here and keep watch. I will go report this to Her Majesty the Pope! Such a major event requires her decision!"

With those words, Ghost Leopard Douluo prepared to leave.

Just then, a purple silhouette flew in rapidly from the distance. Before she even arrived, a faint, fragrant breeze brushed across the faces of Ghost Leopard and Spirit Kite Douluo.

As the figure steadied herself, Ghost Leopard and Spirit Kite Douluo hurriedly bowed in salute.

"Your subordinates pay respects to Her Majesty the Pope!"

The person who arrived was none other than Bibi Dong, the newly appointed Pope of Spirit Hall.

"Your Majesty, while on night duty, your subordinates discovered a meteor falling on the back mountain. Upon investigation, we were shocked to find a child! The child's identity is a mystery, and although I attempted to lift him, I was unsuccessful..."

Ghost Leopard Douluo dared not hide anything and quickly recounted everything that had just occurred to Her Majesty.

Hearing this, Bibi Dong's delicate brows furrowed, her rose-colored eyes filled with curiosity about the child in the crater.

"A child from the heavens? That is quite interesting!"

After speaking, Bibi Dong reached up to smooth the long hair she had just washed, her slender, soft hands appearing particularly striking under the moonlight.

Immediately after, she flashed to the edge of the crater, her eyes fixed intently on the tender child within.

As the new Pope of Spirit Hall, she knew well that the current Douluo Continent was treacherous and filled with shifting tides of power. The child in the swaddling clothes before her could very well be a trap set by others.

She could not afford to be careless!

"Waaah, waaah, waaah~"

Just then, the child in the crater began to cry, the sound of his wailing appearing exceptionally hollow in the quiet night.

For some reason, Bibi Dong, who had been full of vigilance toward the child, felt an inexplicable urge to reach her hand into the purple light barrier the moment she heard the infant's cries.

"Your Majesty, be careful. This light barrier has—"

Spirit Kite Douluo stepped forward, wanting to offer a warning, but she saw that Her Majesty had already reached into the light barrier and was bending down to lift the swaddled child from the crater.

This scene left Ghost Leopard and Spirit Kite Douluo completely bewildered. What was going on?

Why could Her Majesty the Pope pick up the child in the swaddling clothes when they could not?

If one were to argue that it was a matter of gender, Spirit Kite Douluo was a woman too, so why couldn't she lift the child out?!

It seemed there was only one explanation. Ghost Leopard Douluo closed his eyes in deep thought: Her Majesty the Pope had given birth to a child, while Spirit Kite Douluo was still a maiden!

That was the only logical explanation Ghost Leopard Douluo could think of; otherwise, he simply could not fathom how to explain this!

Beside the crater, Bibi Dong held the swaddled child with a look of doting affection, her soft hands gently soothing the crying infant, a hint of tenderness appearing in her eyes.

For some reason, from the first moment she saw this child, a sense of closeness rose in Bibi Dong's heart.

Under her gentle patting, the child in swaddling clothes fell back into a deep sleep. Gazing at the child in her arms, who looked like a delicate jade carving, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes flickered with thought as she began to ponder the other's identity.

A soul beast transforming into human form?

This thought had barely arisen before Bibi Dong shook her head and dismissed it. With three Titled Douluo present, a transformed soul beast absolutely could not hide its true form.

Could it be that the other came from the God Realm?

Bibi Dong had already begun the Rakshasa God's inheritance. She knew very well that the Douluo Continent now harbored many secret inheritances.

Even above the starry sky, the legendary God Realm existed!

Since this child had descended from the heavens, it was very likely from the God Realm. Perhaps this was a special test from the Rakshasa God for her.

This also stirred unusual thoughts in Bibi Dong's heart. Since the child was so extraordinary, why not bring it back to Spirit Hall and nurture it well?

Perhaps in the future, it would become her perfect ally in destroying the Angel Clan.

Moreover, this little fellow in her arms had a handsome appearance. His pink, chubby little face inevitably stirred a trace of maternal love in Bibi Dong, and her arms holding the child tightened unconsciously.

As if sensing the maternal love emanating from her, the sleeping child suddenly buried his little head into Bibi Dong's chest, and the drool at the corner of his mouth even dripped into the valley between the peaks.

This action from the swaddled child instantly made Ghost Leopard and Spirit Kite Douluo tense up.

Everyone in Spirit Hall knew that the Pope disliked children, but this child before them clearly regarded the Pope as a wet nurse.

What should they do?!
