And in response to that, the divine birth chamber shone brightly, the newborn child glowing as it floated.
Then the dragon headed back inside the Heavenly gate and disappeared into thin air, as if it had never appeared. But everyone had already seen it, and it was something they would remember for the rest of their lives, as it's not something that can be seen every day.
...
"Congratulations, Matriarch, it's a healthy and strong son," Mei said, her tone happy as she took the flying baby in her hands and passed it to her.
"My son..." she said, letting out a sigh of relief, a proud look on her face.
Proud that her son was talented enough to call such a powerful phenomenon, one that only those destined for greatness in life could summon.
...
"Damn, Father... did you see that?" Patriarch Wang said, her expression shocked before it turned into one of pride and joy.
"Yeah, I did... haha, good, good, good. You didn't disappoint me by giving me a trash grandson," Jiang Shung said, patting Wang's back with pride.

While the Shung family were celebrating the birth of their heir, other things were happening outside.
"W-what!!" A middle-aged man muttered, his expression one of shock as he looked at the phenomenon happening before him.
"The firstborn son of that Wang bastard brought down such a Heavenly divine phenomenon!!" he muttered, his expression full of jealousy.
"Sigh* I guess the Shung family is going to be even more powerful now that they have such a young child with a once-in-a-million-year talent," he said, sighing.
The reason he's saying such things is because summoning a phenomenon is quite common, but the thing is, the phenomenon that happened today is different from the usual, common ones.
Usually, phenomena don't affect anything, even if they look dangerous, but this time, the phenomenon increased the Qi surrounding the Shung clan.
"Tch, lucky bastards..." he muttered with an envious gaze before walking toward the Shung clan's divine birth chamber.
As he headed there, nobody stopped him... though even if they had tried, it wouldn't have been possible anyway, so they let him go. Besides, he's also the best friend of Wang Shung, so they just greeted him while he ignored them and walked that way.
"Congratulations, Wang bastard!!" he said as he landed in front of Wang Shung.
"Oh, Fei Hao? How come you're here?" Wang said, his expression friendly.
"Bastard, you think everyone's blind and we can't see that Heavenly phenomenon?" Fei Hao said.
"Haha, is that so? Anyway, why are you here? I don't think you're here just to congratulate me, no?" Shung Wang said, narrowing his eyes.
"What? The heck are you narrowing your eyes for?" Fei Hao said as he scratched the back of his head.
"I'm just here to remind you of the promise we made back when we were young," Fei Hao said, faking a cough.
"What promise?" Shung Wang said, his expression turning to confusion as he scratched the back of his head.
"Y-you!! Bastard, how could you forget? Didn't we promise each other that if one of our children was a male and the other a female, we'd engage them?" Fei Hao said, his tone angry.
"Ohhh that, so what you're saying is to fulfil our promise, huh?" Shung Wang said, finally understanding.
"Indeed, that's my intention," Fei Hao said as he scratched his beard, giving him a wise-man look with that old appearance.
'Hahaha, if I can't have such a talented kid as my son/daughter, then I'll rope him in with my daughter, like that one quote says: "If you can't have something, rope him and be family,"' Fei Hao thought, grinning inside his mind.
"Haha, so that's why you were here. You should've told me sooner... since we made such a promise, alright, let's engage our son and daughter together and be a family," Shung Wang said, laughing a bit.
"Wang! Go inside. It's time for you to name your child," Shung Jiang said as he appeared in front of Wang.
"Oh, it's time already? Fei Hao, want to look at your future son-in-law?" Shung Wang said with a smile.
"I'll take you up on that offer," Fei Hao said, his expression and tone composed.
...
"Dear, you should name our child." As soon as they walked inside the divine birth chamber, they could smell the thick incense burned inside, with the Matriarch, Shung Na, lying comfortably on the king-sized bed, her body covered by a white blanket made of the finest silks and herbs that gave off warmth.
"Alright, I shall name my child." He said, a smile blooming on his face as he looked at the baby with small silver hair, his eyes closed.
"Hmm..." Shung Wang got into a thinking position for a few seconds before deciding.
"Your name shall be Shung Yan from now on," Shung Wang said, taking the baby in his arms and caressing the baby's short silver hair with a content smile on his face.
"Eh, Yan? Doesn't it sound a bit too feminine?" Fei Hao said, his expression and tone carefree.
As soon as he said that, the temperature of the room dropped to -73°C in the blink of an eye, his eyes widening as he felt a deep murderous intent that made it hard for him to breathe.
"Ughhh," Fei Hao said, his face turning red due to the difficulty of breathing and the chill running down his spine.
"What did you say?"
"Are you mocking my son?" Both the Matriarch and the Patriarch said, their tone filled with murderous intent, on the verge of exploding and killing him on the spot.
'As expected of the Patriarch and Matriarch of one of the strongest Clans in the divine realm, I shouldn't have crossed such a line,' he thought, as chills ran down his spine.
Even though he's also the Patriarch of the Fei family, one of the strongest families, it's not because of personal power or any powers but because of their family business. They might not be the strongest when it comes to power, but they are certainly the richest family in the divine realm and also, they're capable of healing any injury; even bringing back the dead isn't impossible for them.
"I-I'm sorry for crossing the line!" Fei Hao apologised, and as soon as he did, everything returned to normal, both the Matriarch and Patriarch smiling, looking as friendly as possible.
"Haha, you shouldn't mock someone... especially my son and that in front of me, isn't that right, dear?" Shung Wang said as he glanced at his smiling wife.
"Indeed darling, one shouldn't dare to mock my precious child. If they do dare, then I'll hunt their entire bloodline," she said, flashing a smile.
"I-I understand!" Fei Hao said, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Then, I'll take my leave," he said, and then ran away as fast as possible.
"Hahaha, he's still a coward," Shung Wang said before sitting beside his wife, holding his child, Shung Yan.
As he was looking at his precious child, the child opened its eyes, its silver gaze meeting Shung Wang's with confusion.
But as soon as he opened his eyes, a powerful wave emanated from them, his powers making everything inside the room throw into the air, colliding and breaking apart.
"W-what happened?" Shung Wang said, looking at the destruction caused by his son opening his eyes.
As everything in the chamber was thrown into disarray, it stopped as soon as the ancestor appeared inside the room.
"Wang, give me the child. Let me take a look at him," he said, his tone serious as Wang handed him the child.
"W-what!!" he shouted as soon as he held the child in his hands.
"What happened, Father?" Shung Wang said, standing up, his wife looking worried.
"Hahahahaha! To think my grandson has a cultivation realm at the Earth Immortal level as soon as he was born!" he said, laughing out loud.
"WHAT??" Shung Wang let out a shocked cry because, in the millions of years he had been alive, there had never been any case of such a thing happening, except that one time where one such case occurred, and that man disappeared.
"To think my child has such Heavenly talent that gave him such a phenomenon at birth, and now an already stable cultivation stage," Shung Na muttered, pride swelling within her.
Shung Jiang then touched Shung Yan's abdomen, closed his eyes, and looked inside his dantian.
"Haa, even his foundation is so strong!!" Shung Jiang said, his heartbeat racing.
"Hahahaha, my grandson might just take my Shung family to the skies," Shung Jiang said, ambitious.
Even though the Shung family is already one of the strongest in the divine realm, his ambition knows no boundaries, and he wants the Shung family to rule the divine realm. Now he sees talent that could potentially fulfil his ambition.
