His Martial Soul was the god-tier Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
This made Six-Winged Angel Soul Masters among the Soul Masters who found it hardest to produce offspring.
What was more, Qian Xunji's Martial Soul was the Twelve-Winged Angel Martial Soul, evolved once more from the Six-Winged Angel.
And there was also the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, which was no inferior to the Twelve-Winged Angel.
Although Spirit Hawk's Martial Soul, whether the pre-evolution Blazing Spirit Hawk or the evolved Crimson Flame Phoenix Hawk Martial Soul, was highly compatible with the Twelve-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
Its compatibility with the Golden Dragon Martial Soul was not bad either.
But because the Crimson Flame Phoenix Hawk Martial Soul was also an exceptionally powerful top-tier Martial Soul, no weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
It was still very difficult for her and Qian Xunji to have offspring.
Even if Qian Xunji had worked hard for several years without producing a child, that would have been perfectly normal.
Otherwise, in the ancient world of Douluo Continent.
How had so many Soul Masters become fathers only in their fifties or sixties?
He had originally prepared himself to hold a grandson or granddaughter several years later.
Yet after Qian Xunji married Spirit Hawk.
In just one Kun month, he had actually succeeded in getting Spirit Hawk pregnant.
This naturally left Old Man Chihiro Doriu utterly thrilled.
The divine ancestors had truly blessed them!
However, as Qian Xunji gently fed Spirit Hawk Snow Swallow Ginseng Seven-Colored Pheasant Soup, he calculated the time.
He discovered that exactly two and a half months had passed since their wedding.
His expression immediately became rather strange.
Wait, was that really such a coincidence?
Exactly one Kun month?
Could it be that legendary... that man.
Even after coming to another world, he still could not escape his unseen influence?
That was far too terrifying!
"Your Holiness the Pope, is the child a boy or a girl?"
As Old Man threw back his head and laughed, Mighty Lion Douluo, straightforward and impulsive by nature, asked with an equally excited expression.
It was as though he, like Old Man, was about to have a grandson or granddaughter of his own.
But Mighty Lion Douluo could not be blamed for this.
Other than Old Man, from Golden Crocodile Douluo to Demon Subduing Douluo.
Though the six great worshippers were all quite advanced in years.
Not a single one of them had actually started a family.
That was simply the environment and customs of Douluo Continent.
As long as Soul Masters cultivated to a certain realm, living past a hundred was no problem at all.
Thus, most Soul Masters only started families in their thirties or forties and had offspring in their forties or fifties.
And the greater a Soul Master's talent and cultivation, the later they would start a family and have children.
Because starting a family and raising children consumed far too much time and energy.
Everyone wanted to take advantage of their youth and cultivate to the highest realm they could possibly attain as quickly as possible.
Only then would they start a family and have offspring.
As for worshippers like Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Mighty Lion Douluo.
Although they had generally been over fifty when they broke through to become Titled Douluo.
Their bodies had already passed their peak and begun to decline.
So they could not possibly be like prodigies such as Chihiro Doriu and Bo Saixi, who had broken through to Titled Douluo before turning forty.
After becoming Titled Douluo, they could gain another hundred years of lifespan with every rank they advanced.
At the limit, they could live for more than a thousand years.
But even so, worshippers like Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Mighty Lion Douluo could still easily live three or four hundred years.
Therefore, worshippers like Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Mighty Lion Douluo were just like most highly talented and powerful Soul Masters.
None of them currently had any intention of starting a family or having children.
They all wanted to wait until their cultivation reached its limit before considering such matters.
Thus, upon discovering that Qian Xunji had offspring.
These uncles, who were loyal to Spirit Hall and had watched Qian Xunji grow up, were naturally overjoyed.
They all regarded the child in Spirit Hawk's womb as their own grandson or granddaughter.
"Third Brother, what are you talking about?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo said helplessly.
"His Holiness the Pope's child was only just conceived. How could anyone tell whether it is a boy or a girl?"
"Uh, sorry! Sorry!"
"Haha, I was too excited and didn't think it through!"
Mighty Lion Douluo scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.
Seeing how excited all the worshippers were, Qian Xunji could not help smiling faintly. He understood very well.
Why these worshipper uncles were so excited.
The youngest among these uncles were already sixty or seventy years old.
Yet not one of them had started a family or had children.
So they treated his child as their own grandson or granddaughter.
And he had long had an idea about that.
"Uncles, look, I'm about to have a child."
"When are you planning to start families and have children?"
Looking at his worshipper uncles, Qian Xunji directly turned the order of things upside down. Smiling, he began urging them to have children.
"You wouldn't want your future children to have to call my child Uncle or Aunt, would you?"
Hearing Qian Xunji's words, the worshippers immediately began hemming and hawing, each finding an excuse.
They said that under Your Holiness the Pope's blessing, their Martial Souls had just evolved and their talents had greatly increased.
They needed to seize the time and raise their cultivation as quickly as possible.
Though they were already sixty or seventy years old.
They could all live for two or three hundred years.
They were actually still young right now!
They could wait until they encountered a cultivation bottleneck before starting families and having children.
But Qian Xunji clearly had no intention of giving up so easily.
Old Man had established the Worship Hall.
Though he might not currently need to establish a high-level combat force wholly under his own control.
His future child—or rather, Yuki—would need one!
With his help, the Martial Souls of all the worshippers had successfully evolved.
Shouldn't he hurry them into having children, so their children could grow up alongside Yuki in the future?
Only such shared experiences would allow those children to become Yuki's right-hand supporters in the future!
"Uncles, from what you're saying, you're all somewhat worried about finding suitable spouses, getting married, and raising and educating your children after they are born."
"But don't worry. I'll take care of all of that for you!"
Qian Xunji patted his chest and made the solemn guarantee.
"And I'll solve the issue of raising and educating your children after they're born as well!"
"Once my child is born, I will have to raise and educate them too. When the time comes, wouldn't it be great for your children to receive training and education here together with mine?"
At the side, Chihiro Doriu immediately realized the benefits involved.
As a grandfather, Chihiro Doriu instantly took the future grandson or granddaughter's side and said with a stern expression.
"Azure Luan, Mighty Lion, Light Feather, Thousand Jun, Demon Subduing, Ji'er is right!"
"Let Ji'er handle your marriages and the training and education of your children."
"You're all getting on in years. You need to settle this lifelong matter quickly."
"It won't delay you for much time anyway. Once it's resolved, can't you still work hard at cultivation afterward?"
"Exactly! Exactly!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo also nodded in complete agreement.
His cultivation had now successfully broken through to the Limit Douluo realm.
From here on, he only needed to steadily cultivate to the peak of Limit Douluo, reach the Demigod Realm where his eldest brother Chihiro Doriu stood.
And then embark upon the path to godhood.
He was already prepared to get married and have offspring.
With Qian Xunji, the Pope, urging them to marry.
And with their eldest brother Chihiro Doriu and second brother Golden Crocodile Douluo expressing approval and joining in the pressure.
Azure Luan Douluo, Mighty Lion Douluo, Light Feather Douluo, Thousand Jun Douluo, and Demon Subduing Douluo immediately wilted like frost-struck eggplants and reluctantly agreed.
"Right, why don't we give His Holiness the Pope's child a name?"
All of a sudden, Light Feather Douluo seemed to think of something and excitedly made the suggestion.
At once, Chihiro Doriu and the worshippers began racking their brains, trying to come up with names for Qian Xunji's future child.
"How about Qian Nian Xi for a boy and Qian Nian Qian for a girl?"
After thinking for a long time, Chihiro Doriu cleared his throat and suddenly suggested.
For a moment, the room became exceptionally quiet.
Qian Xunji and Golden Crocodile Douluo both looked at Chihiro Doriu with very strange expressions.
As for Azure Luan Douluo, Mighty Lion Douluo, Light Feather Douluo, and the other worshippers, they were somewhat puzzled.
"Big Brother, what's the meaning behind those names?"
Old Man naturally could not explain it. His face reddened before he finally said.
"I just think they sound nice. If you have any names in mind, you can say them too."
At this point, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Mighty Lion Douluo, and the other worshippers all began offering names they favored.
Golden Crocodile Douluo asked expectantly, "How about Qian Pan Shi for a boy and Qian Qing Si for a girl? What do you think?"
Azure Luan Douluo said coolly, "Mm. I think Qian Feng Jun for a boy and Qian Huang Yao for a girl would be better."
Mighty Lion Douluo said in a rough, heroic voice, "I think Qian Lie Yan for a boy and Qian Yu Miao for a girl would be even better!"
The worshippers all spoke at once, endlessly throwing out suggestions.
Qian Xunji's mouth twitched slightly.
These old men all wanted to slip in their own preferences!
As Spirit Hawk listened to the names proposed by Chihiro Doriu and the worshippers, her delicate brows knit tightly. Her beautiful and elegant face was filled with helplessness, as she felt that none of those names were particularly good.
In the end, Qian Xunji made the decision.
"I've decided. If it's a boy, he'll be called Qian Ren Han. If it's a girl, she'll be called Chihiro Yuki!"
"A boy must possess the steadfast will to stand atop a towering peak, unmoved even when cold winds assail him from all directions."
"A girl should be like the ice and snow atop the towering peak of Chihiro Yuki: holy and aloof, intelligent and perceptive!"
According to the author's setting, the Six-Winged Angel corresponds to the Golden Sacred Dragon, the superior Martial Soul of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. This was its name in Douluo I; because the settings are chaotic, its name in Douluo II will not be used.
The Twelve-Winged Angel, evolved from the Six-Winged Angel, then corresponds to the Golden Dragon, the superior Martial Soul of the Golden Sacred Dragon.
Here, because the settings of the Douluo series are too chaotic, the author has established the Golden Sacred Dragon as a lower-ranked dragon race possessing Golden Dragon Bloodline, rather than a Light Sacred Dragon.
Therefore, the Golden Dragon corresponds to the Twelve-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
Additionally, because the ages of Titled Douluo in the Douluo series are inconsistent.
An additional setting has been added: a Titled Douluo's lifespan is not, as Bo Saixi said, increased by one hundred years for every rank advanced.
Instead, it depends on their age when they break through to Titled Douluo.
If they break through before fifty, while their bodily functions are still at their peak, then becoming a Titled Douluo before fifty is equivalent to locking in their physical condition.
After Rank 91, every rank they advance can increase their lifespan by around one hundred years.
In any case, the younger one is when breaking through, the more lifespan one gains.
But after the age of fifty, the body has already passed its peak and begun to decline.
If one breaks through to Titled Douluo at that age, then after Rank 91, every rank advanced cannot add another hundred years to their lifespan. The increase is reduced significantly instead.
The specifics depend on the Soul Master's physical condition at the time of breakthrough.
This should barely resolve the issue with Titled Douluo ages to some extent.
Mm, Golden Crocodile Douluo's previous age of two hundred was indeed a little too low, so some more has been added.
