Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Lian was listening to the legend, which was also the origin of this world. According to ‘mother’, there were only spirits in this world and not human beings.

Later, a sun appeared in the sky. The world welcod its first batch of inhabitants. These inhabitants – the First n ca from a place that had a sun too. From then onwards, the number of spirits declined.

First n were mortal, and they faced death too. However, the stronger ones beca the stars after they died. So stronger spirits too had turned into stars in the sky.

There was a star called the moon. It engulfed the light of other stars and beca the brightest star in the night sky.

Then, the moon made a promise with the rest of the stars. In order to not be in the way of their light, the moon promised to only shine to its heart’s content only once in every thirty days. That day was known as ‘full moon’.

The number of stars in the sky increased, and the moon too remained strong.

They were no longer happy coexisting with the sun. The rays from the sun shadowed their light, and that prompted an alliance between the stars and the moon. They agreed on an eternal oath. Whenever the sun was out, the stars and the moon would not appear; when the stars and the moon were out, the sun too would retreat.

The sun brought warmth to the world, and the world started to co alive. As the First n procreated, the spirits actively rged with them.

However, the sheer size of the world ant that there would always be an endless stream of spirits. This world was known as the Netherworld. There should never have been human beings such as the First n in this world. If it was not for the sun in the sky, the First n would not have procreated in this world.

Because of the sun, the First n survived and the world developed into the way it was today.

Shen Lian was unsure what the world looked like today, he was even more unsure if the legend told by his ‘mother’ was real. However, he felt like the sun that he saw was not the sa as the normal stars.

If the spirits had turned into the stars, would that not an that the supre beings in this world found another way to exist eternally?

All these mysteries were sothing that he could only look into when he was born.

However, Shen Lian was sure of one thing. The Netherworld that he was in now seed to be extrely different from the records of legends and myths.

The little girl next to his ‘mother’ was not his sister, but his ‘mother”s sister – Shen Lian’s aunt in this life.

Her na was ‘Yun’. As for their surna, Shen Lian was not sure about that.

After chatting for a short while, his ‘mother’ started to get tired and took a nap.

After having wandered around with his divine thoughts, Shen Lian felt exhausted. His subconscious even absorbed energy from his surrounding blood and flesh of the fetus.

Fortunately, he was enveloped by the amniotic fluid. Being in the Daoist ‘innate’ environnt enabled him to absorb the purest of innate Qi to recuperate his divine thoughts.

However, the fetus would experience a delayed growth due to this.

Shen Lian was extrely alert and was determined to not stunt the growth of the fetus because of his personal reasons. If he were born a year and a half later, he would be treated as a freak.

In the days that followed, he did not check on the outside world with his divine thoughts. Instead, he focused his attention of experiencing the growth process of his barely ford physical body.

This was a strange and new experience to him. Moreover, his ‘mother’ was from a good background and had been consuming food that were rich in Qi of vitality. Hence, Shen Lian did not hold back and had cultivated all of the Qi of vitality with his divine thoughts as a source of nourishnt for both his ‘mother’ and his ‘body’.

One day, Shen Lian noticed that he had started developing a head and a brain, and was doing so at a shocking speed. That took up about two-fifth of the bulk of his body.

His other organs started to form too – his fingers appeared.

Shen Lian was not too excited about this, as he realised sothing else. His private part was lacking in male reproductive organ, and was developing its female counterpart.

He could not help but to exclaim at his misfortune. Even though at this point, gender did not matter much to him, but he still could not accept the fact that he was turning into a woman.

If it was any other cultivator, they probably would have accepted their fate. However, Shen Lian was not one of them.

He was clearly aware that the determination of gender was due to a special substance in one’s body. Hence, he refined his divine thoughts and latched onto the special substance that promoted male features. While he was encouraging the secretion of that substance, he suppressed the secretion of its female counterpart.

This was too great and taxing of a task to be accomplished with his weak divine thoughts. However, he had no intention to give up.

Although, the secretion of said substance required a lot of Qi of Yang.

His ‘mother’ was not one who loved physical activities and spent most of her ti out of the sun. Hence, the source of Qi of Yang was scarce.

With regard to this, Shen Lian could not interfere due to his fragile state.

The solution he ca up with was to stall the developnt of the fetus. He did so by absorbing the energy available daily and to replenish his divine thoughts. Through that, he was able to slow down the physical developnt of his body.

Even if this would delay his birth and ended up getting treated as a freak, he had no choice now.

Whenever his ‘mother’ was out in the sun, he would release his divine thoughts without holding back. Greedily, he absorbed the Qi of Yang from the outside world. He spent at least two months to correct his gender to that of a male.

However, because of what he did throughout this period of ti, his ‘mother’ beca sickly and a few doctors ca to diagnose her.

Mother’s sister, ‘Yun’ only ca over once in three or four days. It seed that they did not live in the sa courtyard.

Shen Lian found out that his mother was staying with her family. He had yet to et his father.

After dealing with the issue of gender, Shen Lian had ti to transfer so of the Qi and blood back to his mother. Even though he was in the Daoist ‘innate’ environnt, he did not snatch too much of his ‘mother”s Qi and blood to nurture his own body. To him, there were plenty of ways to influence his physical potential. He could work on it after being born.

In the following days, besides the necessary replenishnt for his divine thoughts, he let the fetus developed naturally.

anwhile, he found out about sothing strange. Every ti when the night was dark and his mother was sound asleep, he could feel a prying gaze.

However, the peeping tom seed to be at a far distance away and he was unable to find out about the person’s identity.

It was only when he developed his auditory organs that he perceived that there were two skilled individuals lurking around his mother.

One of them almost never left the courtyard. The person did not talk to his mother, and seed to have hidden his or her existence from his mother.

As for the other person, that would be the person who had been spying on his ‘mother’.

When ‘mother’ was in the tenth month of her pregnancy, Shen Lian was still not fully developed. If he were to have his ways, he would spend two more months before being born – even if this ant that he would be treated as a freak.

Last night, Shen Lian heard sounds of battle. The person who had been spying on his mother was fighting with his mother’s guardian.

The person left at last, but his mother’s guardian suffered from injuries.

Shen Lian could not wait any longer. The last thing he wanted was for sothing to go wrong.
