"Rest assured, Vast Sea elder, we will certainly do our utmost to nurture this child, making him the pride of our Dark Race," Great Elder Youxuan Abyss said firmly.

The other Supreme Elders around also nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with anticipation.

They knew that as long as this child could grow up, the Dark Race would surely usher in a new era.

"Let me leave something for this child."

A golden rune flew out from the frame of the Vast Sea Mirror, exuding an aura of law, and slowly merged into the chest of the infant from whom the vision was receding, disappearing within.

Afterward, the Vast Sea Mirror disappeared into the void.

Youxuan Abyss looked at the excited crowd and said, "Don't be too happy too soon, the child's father needs to be handled well, after all, we forcibly brought the child back; if he wants to take the child back, will the child bear the surname You or someone else?"

These words caused the faces of several excited Supreme Elders to change, becoming serious.

"If this child's father is of significant status, by then taking the child away will have nothing to do with our Dark Race."

"The worst fear is that we would painstakingly nurture the child, only for them to become someone else's asset in the end."

"After all, he possesses our Dark Race's bloodline; surely, he won't disregard this kindness?"

Several elders hesitated.

"Clan Leader, what if we follow through with bold decisiveness..."

The old man with the cane's face shifted from benevolence to a hint of ruthlessness.

"Great Elder, we must not! This person possesses the Divine Vein, indicating he is from the Divine Race. If we act rashly, it might invite disaster upon our clan! The wrath of the Divine Spirit is not something we can withstand."

Youxuan Abyss quickly intervened, "We must treat him with courtesy, there's no need to take risks. Even if we kill him without being discovered, how would the child see us after learning the truth when grown?"

This rational advice quickly extinguished the idea from the old man with the cane, and the others also nodded in agreement.

The Third Elder frowned, "You Mo's actions might have already planted a seed of discord in his heart. What should we do now?"

Another elder with brocade clothing said, "Naturally, we should think of ways to mitigate it, and this might even present an opportunity for us."

Youxuan Abyss pondered, "Second Elder, are you suggesting getting closer to him?"

"Heh heh, if a woman who just fused with the Holy Blood can give birth to a Divine Vein offsprin-g, what about if it was a more exceptional woman?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Indeed, if the Emperor Vein combines with him, a more exceptional offspring will surely be born."

The Third Elder said, "You shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket; having an additional Divine Vein is another layer of assurance."

"Yes, while other forces are unaware of his situation, we must seize the opportunity for breeding."

Their words grew increasingly direct.

Youxuan Abyss considered briefly and decisively said, "Let Ruoxi approach him, first resolve his worries, then procreate, and of course, it would be best to uncover his background. I'll call her over immediately."

"Bring in the child's mother."

Youxuan Abyss ordered.

The walls of the great hall rippled like water, and then a woman walked in.

Youli, as a mother now, was even more beautiful, her blue hair falling smoothly over her shoulders like a tranquil deep sea, shimmering with a gentle light. She wore a loose black robe, simple yet elegant.

At this moment, her delicate face bore anxiety, her long lashes quivered, and her eyes, streaked with golden light, radiated noble mystery while urgently searching around the hall for her child.

Seeing her child sleeping peacefully among several elders, she breathed a sigh of relief and rushed over to embrace him, not caring about others.

"Youli, don't worry. This child is the hope of our Dark Race; we will not harm him but will protect him well. Our clan leader has decided to grant this child the treatment of the Emperor's Son."

Youxuan Abyss smiled.

"The Emperor's Son?"

Youli was surprised. Previously, when the clan elders suddenly asked her to bring her child over, she feared something bad might happen, but it now seemed favorable. The treatment of the Emperor's Son was the best among the young generation of the Dark Race, like bringing up the child with the clan's full effort.

"That's right, Youli, your son has the Divine Vein, which is the future of our clan."

Second Elder chimed in.

"Divine Vein!"

Youli looked at her child, astonished, knowing well what the Divine Vein meant; it was a talent one level above even the most gifted members of the Dark Race.

Involuntarily, a gentle smile full of maternal love appeared on her lips: "My son is amazing, but he's still young and can't bear such a huge responsibility."

"We will naturally train him step by step."

Youxuan Abyss promised, "Your son is formidable, and even more so his father. Have you ever found out his origin during your time together?"

Youli shook her head: "My husband treats me sincerely; I never inquired about his background."

She naturally wouldn't say more.

The elders exchanged glances but did not press Youli further, waiting instead for someone to arrive.

Soon, a woman stepped out from the void.

She was the dazzling jewel of the young generation in the Dark Race, with unique and splendid golden-blue hair like the horizon at dawn blending sea and sky, mysterious yet beautiful.

Her features were delicate and otherworldly, her brows and eyes exuded an extraordinary and unworldly aura like a serene mountain spring, clear and pure.

Her bright and gold-infused eyes were profound and mysterious, as if they could see through human hearts.

This woman was named You Ruoxi, the clan leader's daughter, not only exceptional in appearance but also with the potential of the Emperor Vein, possessing extraordinary strength.

Her posture was light and graceful, moving like a dancing fairy, each movement elegant and natural, as she gracefully landed in the great hall to pay her respects.

"Ruoxi greets Father and the Supreme Elders."

After speaking, she glanced at Youli, then her gaze fell on the child: "Is he the child with the Divine Vein?"

"Yes, the child's father possesses an even more superior bloodline and mysterious background, but there have been some misunderstandings with our Dark Race. We called you here intending for you to resolve these misunderstandings and reconcile."

Youxuan Abyss coughed, "If there's a chance, we hope you can also bring back a Divine Vein offspring; this concerns the future of our Dark Race. You are the most outstanding young woman in our clan, and we believe sending you is most suitable."

You Ruoxi's gaze flickered, showing little emotion.

As the Empress of the Dark Race, she was wise, calm, and strategic, deducing what needed to be done based on limited information.

Though somewhat reluctant in her heart, considering her mission and the future of the Dark Race, she nodded and said, "Ruoxi will do her utmost to contribute to the clan."

"Good, Ruoxi, first have a chat with Youli to understand that man in advance."

Youxuan Abyss said with satisfaction.

Youli looked up in amazement at the more outstanding You Ruoxi, speechless.

By the sound of it, the clan intended for the Empress to approach her husband and then use him for breeding?

For such a favored daughter of heaven to do such a thing, just how remarkable was her husband's bloodline for a Di Race to resort to this?
