"Jennifer, are you pregnant?"
The moment Yaldra asked this, Jason froze in place.
He stared at Jennifer with an utterly dumbfounded look and was unable to speak even a single word.
'Pregnant?!' Jason repeated the word in disbelief.
In the history of the Universe, the races with the strongest bloodline were known for having the smallest population.
This was because women of powerful races had a short ovulation cycle that repeated itself only every few years or decades.
For Primordial races, the gap between each subsequent cycle was even longer, with just one ovulation cycle every century or possibly longer!
Meanwhile, the sperm of beings originating from powerful bloodlines took a similar route and a far longer time to form.
Only the reproduction of the seminal plasma was at a normal pace.
As such, it was possible to have intercourse with someone very often, while the chances of bearing a child the further one progressed in the cultivation stages decreased rapidly.
Because of that, it was totally unexpected for Jason, and even Jennifer to hear the news that she was pregnant.
It led Jason to instinctively insert his entire divine energy into his Divine Eyes before he looked at Jennifer's womb intently.
His heart was palpitating, and he couldn't stop himself from trembling.
"There…is really something…it's sooo tiny!" Jason blurted out, shocked as he realized that Jennifer was truly pregnant.

Tightly enshrouding his God's Halos, his happiness activated the second God's Halo and released a type of energy, Jason had never sensed before in his life.
It passed through his body, and enveloped his soul world core, along with the closest shard of his broken soul world.
After devouring the shard of his broken soul world, the soul world core began to glow brightly.
It began to digest the shard of the broken soul world.
This led to various changes in the broken soul world's shard before a weird and mysterious process was initiated.
And this process was something that pulled Jason out of his state of despair, giving him the hope he required, and providing him with the information he needed to know.
Though it would only take a few hundred years before everything would be completed, he was hopeful!
The first shard of his broken soul world was being turned into a dimension of its own!!
The process of his broken soul world's shard being turned into an individual dimension was bound to take hundreds of years. After that, the birthed dimension would revolve around his soul world core that would serve as its center point!
Its size would be minuscule in comparison to what the soul world had once been.
However, Jason's instincts told him that each shard of his broken soul world was bound to turn into an individual dimension.
Yet, in the end, this was something he couldn't really focus on because there was something more important that took away his entire attention.
Jennifer was pregnant, after all!!
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Yaldra had just stated what his gut had told him to be the case.
He didn't truly expect Jennifer to be pregnant.
After all, it was said that a halfling had an even lower chance of bearing a child than races of a single bloodline.
This was because the disarray in their body would reject the semen of a male of another race, labeling it as harmful.
And the semen of a Primordial halfling was bound to hurt the young halfling named Jennifer.
Yaldra didn't even question that, causing him to feel deja vu all over again.
'A baby with a quarter Celestia bloodline…' He only thought as a droplet of sweat trickled down his temples.
Even if he hated the racism prevalent in his own race, and the fact that the Celestia bloodline had to be 'pure' according to their teachings, it made sense in one particular direction.
The purity of the Celestia race was too potent for other races to endure, and would usually result in their deaths.
In the past, even before the birth of Shima, Primordials had attempted to give birth to new races.
They had been adventurous and fell in love quickly.
However, the future taught them to make better decisions, clearly showing what happened to the halflings they gave birth to.
In the end, only a small number survived, and most of them died due to multiple factors such as mana oversaturation, malfunctioned organs due to a very high potency of energies coursing through their body and so on.
This problem had been the worst for the Celestia race.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"}) Not even a single halfling of their race had survived before, while, at least, a small minority of halflings from other races had survived.
Their life might not have been long, in most cases, but they lived, for a decent amount of time but a pregnancy caused by a Celestia parent often resulted into the halfling's miscarriage…
Owing to this, time passed, eras changed, and the mindset of the Celestia race was molded on retaining a clean bloodline to prevent any kind of issue from ever happening again.
The number of beings that knew of this was minuscule as only the oldest of the oldest Primordials had been there when this resolve took effect.
And those few last witnesses were in isolation.
Nobody had seen them for countless years, and they were presumed to have died, and with them, the secret behind the origin of the Celestia race's racism had been sealed!
As such, while Yaldra was worried about what the Celestias would say about a child with a quarter of their bloodline, Jason was just dumbfounded, and smiling brightly, feeling as if he had regained some of his spirit.
On the other hand, Jennifer was just dumbfounded as she mumbled,
"Then…how many centuries will it take for the baby to be born?... Wait, I won't explode, right?!"
It was visibly noticeable that Jennifer was simply too overwhelmed with the situation, not realizing what was going on.
Fear enshrouded her heart, and she could only look at Jason helplessly.
However, even Jason was not sure what was going on.
But he had to be her pillar of support as being clueless would only make things worse.
This was why he smiled at her with confidence while trying to convey to her that everything will be fine.
Yet, in the end, his hands that trembled in both excitement and uncertainty of the unknown were a clear sign that he was not sure of the future as well.
As such, it was only fortunate that they were not alone, and that Celestia Yaldra was next to them.
He had lived a long life that was filled with experiences that he lived through or witnessed, reassuring the two younger Cultivators a lot as they looked at him for guidance and some help.
However, what they didn't expect to hear was that Yaldra would think about something for a moment before he said.
"The gestation period will probably take roughly the same time as what your race usually requires. The stronger the bloodline of the mother, the longer the gestation period usually lasts. But that varies a lot as well…according to what I know…
That was probably also the reason why Mina had to ask for the Chaos Emperor's help.
I think Agrans have a very short gestation period, of only nine months…which is definitely too short for the body to endure birthing a Celestia…"
Jason could only nod his head at this, clearly recalling that his mother wouldn't have been able to birth him without the Chaos Emperor's Help.
However, that was not exactly the reason for the Chaos Emperor to help Mina.
The Chaos Emperor had his own reasons and benefits to gain from the entire process, after all!
But thinking about this was not necessarily helpful for Jennifer.
She was still worried, and looked at him in uncertainty, not wanting to believe what was just happening.
From looking after Jason because he had lost his Soul world, now suddenly they faced another problem….her pregnancy?!?
Was this a bad joke??
