Supreme Combat Planet - Blue Star.
Blue Star could sense the birth of a child with their Blue Star lineage.
This news sent shockwaves through the upper echelons of Blue Star.
Heavens knew how rare newborns were to them, Blue Star inhabitants.
In fact, it had been over two hundred years since any newborns were born on the entire planet.
The Blue Star lineage, being a naturally combat-oriented race, ranked among the top fighting species in the universe. They possessed innate powerful genes and extraordinary combat abilities. Due to their superior genetics, it was incredibly difficult for them to propagate offspring.
For over two hundred years, no newborns had been reported to the pediatric and maternity facilities.
The report bearer expressed great surprise, "Have we investigated? We should check with the remote rural pediatric and maternity clinics!"
Another person replied, "We've been investigating for quite some time, ruling out the possibility from our home planet."
So where is this child with the Blue Star lineage, and who is he or she?
To preserve their bloodline, the Blue Star typically practices intermarriage within their own species.
In the past century, there had been only one lady who married out of their planet.
She became the Queen of Emperor Star.
And from that union, the current ruler of Emperor Star was born.
Thus, an unlikely speculation emerged.
Since there were no newborns on Blue Star, the newborn could only be the child of His Majesty.
—The Monarch of Emperor Star.
But?
His Majesty carried both the Blue Star lineage and the royal blood of Emperor Star – wouldn't that double disadvantage theoretically make it even harder for him to have offspring?
Holding onto a sliver of hope against all odds, they activated their communicators.
Contacted the Blue Star representative who was currently on Emperor Star.
Their leader.
The Delphi elder is from the Blue Star, having accompanied the lady of Blue Star to Emperor Star and taken root there.
Watching the current emperor grow up.
He was also aware that it was precisely because His Majesty was of royal blood and connected to the Blue Star that his genetic illness was more severe, making it difficult for him to sire offspring.
Therefore, when he received the message from their home planet, everyone was stunned.
[Leader, are you in good health on Emperor Star? According to our Blue Star's sensing, a newborn with Blue Star lineage has been born. After investigation, the council confirmed that this child is not native to Blue Star, leading us to believe it must be His Majesty of Emperor Star.]
[May we ask if the monarch of Emperor Star now has an heir? Please convey our heartfelt congratulations on our behalf! We are all eagerly anticipating the arrival of this newborn, and the Blue Star will keep a close eye on this child's growth!]
Delphi looked at his communicator.
Delphi pondered the significance of those words.
The Mother Star could sense the birth of someone with Blue Star bloodline, but only if they were not native to the Mother Star itself.
That left only one possibility – the monarch with Blue Star lineage.
But—
Did His Majesty have an heir??
And why did he, on Emperor Star, have no knowledge of this?
Delphi was certain he hadn't heard any such news.
He sought out His Majesty.
There, he witnessed the Queen instinctively caressing her abdomen.
That youth, the one who had connected the communication for His Majesty that time.
He inquired of His Majesty.
His Majesty replied with a smile, "Indeed."
Delphi: "Oh."
Their brief conversation concluded, the Emperor answered candidly before him.
The elder returned to his home in a daze.
After sitting for half a day, his mind was numb.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that his thoughts finally cleared.
It wasn't his fault; the news was simply too astounding, too unforeseen.
"Pregnant"???
His Majesty and the Queen had an heir, which meant the Queen was with child!!
After two centuries, they finally have a newborn in Blue Star!
---
Perhaps due to the overwhelming power of his species' bloodline, Lu Wei's rest hasn't been good lately - not at all.
His morning sickness had become more frequent, accompanied by dizziness, nausea, and weakness, symptoms commonly experienced by expectant mothers.
Of course, our Earth brother wouldn't endure such discomfort. Whenever he felt unhappy, he would take it out on His Majesty the Dog.
Then, when His Majesty was unhappy, he would make everyone else miserable, creating a perfect chain of discontent.
An atmosphere where everyone was unhappy.
And with K's foolish disruptions... Huh.
As Lu Wei was finalizing his plan to give K a good beating the next day, his three-dimensional communication device suddenly rang.
He quickly answered the 3D call, and the face that appeared was that of a kindly old man.
His face was indeed incredibly kind, as if it were about to bloom into a smile.
It wasn't an illusion on Lu Wei's part; the man genuinely had an inexplicable grin.
If one were to describe it, it was akin to the expression of someone who had just scratched a lottery ticket and discovered they'd won a hundred thousand.
Lu Wei regained his composure. "You... It was you last night who called for His Majesty, the Dog, through the holographic communication, and I answered on his behalf."
He recognized this esteemed elder, whose name was Delphi.
He was a relative from the maternal side of the Dog Emperor's family.
Lu Wei had even commented on the elder's esteemed status, noting that the emperor's attitude towards this elder was among the few instances of warmth shown towards any official.
The elderly man greeted the doctor with, "Queen."
Yes, it was true. The old man felt an extreme joy that left him slightly dazed. It had been a long time since he had experienced such overwhelming happiness.
Delphi smiled, saying nothing, but feeling a sense of relief.
Lu Wei's nature was such that he responded in kind to politeness, so when the elder greeted him cordially, he replied respectfully, "Yes, hello."
"I wonder what brings you to me?"
The person had indeed come looking for him.
This time, Delphi hadn't called the Emperor but had reached out to Lu Wei instead.
The elder seemed confused and his words were scattered. "In a way, I can also be considered an elder to both Your Majesty and the Queen. Let me reintroduce myself: Your Majesty's homeworld is Blue Star, and I am from the same lineage as the Emperor, also a native of Blue Star."
By revealing their identity as part of the Emperor's maternal family, Lu Wei vaguely recalled that the Dog Emperor possessed half Blue Star bloodline, a fact that his own child in the womb also shared.
The doctor on Edgalia had informed him of this before.
Hence, the Dog Emperor's mother must have been of Blue Star heritage.
Delphi repeated himself, "You're a good child. Thank you, thank you."
Lu Wei blinked and looked over at the Dog Emperor beside him.
His gaze inquired, "Is there something wrong with this uncle or elder?"
The canine monarch curved the corners of his lips.
Just a moment ago, Fiery Pepper was engaged in a heated exchange with K, but the next second, he was being repeatedly thanked by the elder, leaving him unable to muster any irritation.
Lu Wei scratched his head. "Then I really don't understand why you're suddenly thanking me."
Old Delphi's expression was quite amiable. "The child in your womb is not only a descendant of the Emperor Star royal family, but also a child of our Blue Star. In fact, as an interstellar warrior race, Blue Star hasn't had a newborn in nearly two hundred years. And you carry our Blue Star's only child."
They had never even imagined that such a child would exist.
Delphi now believed in fate, for this was truly a great gift bestowed upon them from above.
Lu Wei cursed under his breath. "Damn it."
Lu Wei once again felt that what he carried in his womb was like a precious golden nugget.
So many people were lining up to thank him.
Delphi beamed with warmth. "I've watched His Majesty grow up since he was young. Meeting you is truly wonderful, and I'm sincerely grateful to you. Our Blue Star also extends its gratitude to you, the Queen. I'm here representing the entire nation to express our appreciation. My actions now embody the sentiments of the entire Blue Star; everyone is delighted to witness the birth of someone with Blue Star bloodline in a foreign land."
Delphi continued, "The folks from Blue Star can't come to visit you, but they're all curious and relieved."
Lu Wei was about to be overwhelmed by the elder's affectionate display.
He knew that childbirth was difficult on both planets, but this was too much.
This old man was looking at him with the kind eyes of a doting grandfather-in-law.
—Who the hell was his granddaughter-in-law?
Even if the other party was related to the royal family of Dog Emperor, he was still their son-in-law!
"Take this, child." Delphi raised the ring in his hand, making sure Lu Wei could see it. "Tomorrow, I'll personally deliver it to you and put it on your finger."
Lu Wei noticed that it was a silver ring.
Carved upon it were intricate patterns, resembling a family crest, though he couldn't decipher the meaning behind the emblem.
The elder explained, "This is the Blue Star Battle Token, symbolizing the protection offered by Blue Star to the ring's bearer. As an ultra-powerful combat race in the universe, Blue Star possesses immense strength that serves as a deterrent. As long as the Queen wears this ring, no one would dare to bully you. This is the only thing we can do for you and His Majesty."
There were only a few of these Blue Star authority rings, representing the entire organization. Blue Star was known for being extremely protective and formidable in combat. The ring conveyed a clear message: anyone who dared to harm their Queen would be taking on the entire Blue Star.
Thus, anyone considering harming the Queen would have to seriously assess their own capabilities.
Lu Wei was impressed. "How awesome!"
In essence, the ring meant that Blue Star had his back!
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Earth Brother felt like he had become some sort of cosmic treasure.
Lu Wei gently touched his abdomen.
With Blue Star bloodline and the royal bloodline of Emperor Star, this child would be born with full soul power!
Combining innate superhuman strength and top-notch genetics, this child was already destined to be a prodigy. Add to that the powerful protection from Blue Star – it was truly unparalleled.
There was no doubt about it.
The only concern was whether the child might become overly repressed.
Dog Emperor approached expressionlessly, conveying a message: This is mine.
Embracing his own, the Dog Emperor said, "You don't need that ring."
Lu Wei pushed him away, disdainful. "Immature."
"Ahahaha," Lord Delphi chuckled.
This king, who once had a reputation for brutality, was now an expectant father deeply devoted to his wife and child.
Given the emperor's affection for the young man, this child would receive a cosmic level of adoration from birth.
Who would have thought that this king, who wasn't fond of children, could transform into such a doting parent?
Queen, I actually sensed a long time ago that you and His Majesty were well-suited for each other.
I felt it that very night.
Delphi felt that perhaps he was getting old, truly more sentimental than before.
The expression on the king before him was like a sprout after a spring rain, carrying a hint of nascent vitality.
