Help! I'm in Another World and the Dragon Man Want Me To Get Pregnant! Chapter 106: Side Story: Qi Yu and Two Sovereign (Part 4)

"If that’s the case... if the tree continues to weaken, then eventually even the species that are fine now will—"

Qi Yu smiled faintly. "You’re a perceptive one."

Shen Xinghui could hear the clear affirmation in Qi Yu’s words.

A chill ran down his spine.

This world was quietly heading toward its ruin, and no one seed to realize it.

Qi Yu placed a hand on his head gently and stroking it with a worried expression.

"I have a special skill that allows to bear children," Shen Xinghui said. "But even among my acquaintances, there are many people who have had children without such a skill. Why is that?"

"They must have wished for a child with an incredibly strong love," Qi Yu replied.

"Huh?"

"I’ve heard that what protects the core of life is the deep love shared between both parents. The deeper the love, the richer the color of the core. That love nurtures the core and enables it to withstand the imnse magical energy involved in the union of highly magical beings."

Now that Shen Xinghui thought about it, he had heard the sa thing during gatherings with other parents.

When the birth pill used for conception was darker in color, the chances of success were higher.

He had experienced it himself but had never known the reason behind it.

"Even so, the success rate is still declining. If the root cause is not resolved, this world will continue to close in on itself," Qi Yu continued. "The only thing Malrik could do was extend the lifespan of such species and synchronize their lifespans with their partners, preserving at least so possibility for the future."

"Oh..."

So that was why he could live a long life with Ignatius.

It was thanks to the Demon King.

If Malrik hadn’t blessed him, he would have had to die first long before Ignatius and his children.

"Xinghui?"

Realizing he was crying, Shen Xinghui gripped Qi Yu’s hand tightly and repeatedly whispered, "Thank you."

Qi Yu seed to understand his emotions and hesimply patted his back gently.

"It may take so ti," Qi Yu admitted. "And I can’t say for certain whether I’ll succeed in diating their conflict. But one day, I want to see a world where even those people who are facing extinction can have children again. I believe that is the reason I was brought to this world."

"Why would you go so far?" Shen Xinghui asked.

Qi Yu’s lips curled into a gentle smile, his gaze distant, as if rembering soone dear.

"It was the first ti," he said softly. "The first ti soone told I was needed. Without demanding anything from , without forcing anything upon ... he simply cherished as I was."

"Qi Yu..."

His bittersweet smile held both sorrow and warmth.

He looked like soone in love—soone who had found sothing precious to him.

Shen Xinghui understood.

He had soone he loved, too.

"I was unwanted, despised, and my life was considered just a disposable. But for the first ti in my life soone said he needed . I want to repay him sohow. And if this is the reason I was brought to this world, then I want to see it through. Don’t you think it’s rather poetic? The one who was cast aside ends up saving this world."

This was Qi Yu’s reason.

Shen Xinghui could feel the strength of his resolve—sothing he himself did not yet possess.

He nodded his head in silent acknowledgnt.

Just then, a loud noise echoed in the distance.

Qi Yu’s eyes narrowed as he stood up.

At the sa ti, Ignatius ca rushing in.

"Xinghui! A monster is nearby. I’m going to take it down, so stay here—"

"No, allow to go instead," Qi Yu interrupted. "This is a rare mont for you to spend ti with your family. It would be rude of to intrude any longer."

Qi Yu turned to leave, but without thinking, Shen Xinghui reached out and grabbed his arm.

He didn’t know why, but he felt a sudden sadness, a loneliness, as if letting go of that hand would an losing sothing important.

Qi Yu simply smiled and gently pried Shen Xinghui’s fingers away.

"I had a wonderful ti today," he said. "I never expected to et soone from my holand in this world. It was a aningful and warm mont. Thank you."

"Wait—"

Before Shen Xinghui could finish his sentence, Qi Yu placed a finger against his lips, silencing him with a gentle smile.

Then, he leaning in close and whispered in his ear.

"My special skill is called ’Divine Audience.’ Ignatius should know about it. Ask him later, quietly."

With that, Qi Yu waved and disappeared into the darkness.

Shen Xinghui wanted to chase after him.

He wanted to stop him.

But sothing held him back, as if Qi Yu himself was refusing to be stopped.

Later, when he asked Ignatius about it, he learned that ’Divine Audience’ was an extrely rare skill that required a specific condition to activate: one had to take the lives of a hundred beings.

In other words, one had to slay a hundred monsters.

And the ability granted upon activation was just one thing—the chance to et this world’s gods after death.

Five years passed after that encounter.

Although Shen Xinghui sotis thought about it, it had beco more of a distant mory.

Then, one day, a letter arrived.

"A letter...?"

Delivered by magic, the letter contained only a single, elegantly written line.

"Little by little, your wish is coming true. There is no need to worry anymore. The future of this world is moving toward the light."

At the bottom of the letter was a na: Qi Yu.

Tears stread down Shen Xinghui’s face before he realized it.

It wasn’t just for the endangered species that had been suffering.

Sowhere out there, a kindhearted person had sent this ssage.

That thought alone filled his heart with warmth and relief.
