An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 295

The Aurora Dao Master let out a few sighs. Then, her beautiful eyes turned toward Yang Chen, a flicker of curiosity in her gaze.

“This kid has quite a few secrets! The speed at which he’s absorbing the life aura is actually faster than mine! He must possess some extraordinary treasure!”

Then, a vertical eye appeared on her forehead, and a beam of tricolor immortal light shot onto Yang Chen. Immediately, a trace of astonishment appeared in the Aurora Dao Master’s eyes.

“It’s actually the seed of the World Tree! This kid actually has such a heaven-defying opportunity! If the World Tree seed grows, it can form an entire great world. The benefits it could bring are simply unimaginable—even I’m quite envious of it! Never mind, never mind. After all, this kid has done me a favor. Stealing something from a junior would truly be unjustifiable!”

A flash of greed passed through the Aurora Dao Master’s eyes, but she quickly suppressed it, her clarity returning. Then, with a wave of her jade-like hand, a barrier appeared over the oasis.

“Kid, go ahead and absorb the life aura of the Kunlun Divine Tree properly! If you succeed in forming a world, I might even need to ask a favor of you in the future!”

The Aurora Dao Master murmured a couple of sentences, then, with light lotus-like steps, walked a few miles away to a lake.

“A lake formed by life aura—not bad, just perfect for me to bathe in!”

Looking at the clear, emerald-green lake water, a hint of joy flashed in the Aurora Dao Master’s beautiful eyes, and she stepped directly into it. Her red dress gradually dissipated medan the water.

A glimpse of fair, curvaceous beauty added a touch of springtime charm to the lake’s green hue.

Time passed, though how long was unclear. The internal space of the World Tree seed had now expanded hundreds of times over. Its inner space now spanned a radius of a thousand miles, already taking on the initial scale of a world.

However, the entire world was shrouded in chaos. There were no mountains, no rivers, and certainly no living beings.

A heavy pressure weighed down on Yang Chen’s body, pulling him out of his state of comprehending the Dao of Space.

“I didn’t expect it to already reach a thousand miles in radius! Good thing it stopped. If it expanded any further, my current body wouldn’t be able to handle it! The speed of comprehending the Dao of Space is far slower than the expansion of the World Tree seed’s internal space!” Yang Chen felt a bit helpless in his heart.

How much space he could withstand depended on his current physical strength and mastery of the Dao of Space. The World Tree seed’s internal world, now a thousand miles in radius, had reached the limit of what he could endure at present.

“Yang Chen, absorbing the life aura so recklessly might not be wise!” At that moment, the Aurora Dao Master’s voice sounded beside his ear.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but open his eyes. What met his gaze was a face of unparalleled beauty. Her dark hair was pinned up, her red lips glistening. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with a watery glow. She was even more stunning than before. Dressed in a long red palace robe, her figure was tall and elegant. Her slightly fuller form exuded a graceful, captivating charm.

“Senior seems to have gained a little weight!” Yang Chen blurted out.

The Aurora Dao Master, perhaps due to absorbing a large amount of life aura, now had a faint flush of red in her snow-white skin. Her figure also appeared a bit fuller.

But this only added a mature, womanly allure to her beauty.

Hearing Yang Chen’s words, the Aurora Dao Master’s face darkened, and she couldn’t help but shoot him a glare:

“You little, the World Tree seed is practically bursting you apart, and yet you’re focused on whether I’ve gained a little weight! Besides, have I really gained weight?”

The Aurora Dao Master seemed very concerned about her figure, lowering her head to glance at her graceful form as she spoke.

Yang Chen’s gaze carefully examined her curvaceous body for a moment before finally saying: “You have indeed gained a little weight, but it’s just the right amount! One bit more would be too much, one bit less would be too little! This fullness suits your temperament perfectly, Senior! After all, you’re a beautiful woman who’s lived for over a million years—you can’t be as youthful and slender as a young girl!”

…

“Hah, ‘one bit more would be too much, one bit less would be too little’—you sure know how to talk! But you should rein in your gaze a bit. After all, I’m an elder senior! Staring at me like this all the time—doesn’t it seem a little inappropriate?”

As the Aurora Dao Master spoke, tricolor immortal light flickered in her beautiful eyes.

Yang Chen immediately felt a sharp sting in his eyes and quickly averted his gaze.

“Heh, disrespecting your elders—careful, or you’ll get a needle in your eye!” The Aurora Dao Master’s eyes carried a hint of amusement and teasing.

This junior—glancing a few times was fine, but he even started critiquing her figure. Truly lacking manners.

Yang Chen rubbed his eyes, and they soon recovered. The Aurora Dao Master had only given him a slight lesson, not anything harsh.

Yang Chen naturally understood this.

Then he asked: “Senior, you just said that blindly absorbing life aura to expand the internal space of the World Tree seed might be unwise. What did you mean by that?”

Hearing this, the Aurora Dao Master replied seriously: “When a world first forms, it begins with chaos, then differentiates into yin and yang, followed by the birth of the five elements, and finally the creation of all things. It’s not just about expanding space! And the process of birthing all this comes with various forms of fortune. The benefits you could gain would far exceed simply advancing your understanding of the Dao of Space! However, during the birth of these elements, a world will also experience violent fluctuations!

“With your current cultivation, you’re still far from being able to control a world and withstand such fluctuations! Blindly increasing the internal space of the World Tree seed will not only make it unbearable for your body to carry the weight of the world, affecting your cultivation, but also, once the internal space of the World Tree seed reaches the stage of further evolution, if you’re still only at the Void Refinement realm, you’ll absolutely be unable to endure it!”

Hearing this, Yang Chen’s brows gradually furrowed. Once the internal space of the World Tree seed gave birth to yin, yang, and all things, it would undoubtedly be an earth-shattering transformation.

It made sense.

If the birth of a world could be controlled by a mere Void Refinement realm cultivator like him, then that world would be far too insignificant. After all, even now, with just a chaotic space spanning a thousand miles in radius, its weight was already somewhat unbearable for him.

If a dramatic change occurred and yin, yang, and all things took shape, he would either risk his body shattering or have no choice but to remove the World Tree seed from his body.

And once removed, the insights and fortunes that came with it would no longer be his. In the future, he should indeed stop expanding the internal space of the World Tree seed.

Even if his cultivation improved, he’d need to take it slow.
