Chapter 437: Chapter 38: Coronation_1
Jia 15 opened his eyes from his cultivation, surveying his surroundings with a hint of confusion.
For some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
It was as if he was being watched by some entity.
He quickly realized that his feelings were not misplaced.
“Jia 17?”
Jia 15’s gaze fell upon a male Spirit Chicken in the distance, a speckled mix of brown and white feathers covering its body, and he grew solemn.
He immediately recognized it as the little demon’s new pet, Jia 17.
Much to his surprise, he detected an intensely familiar sense of vitality in Jia 17’s eyes.
“There’s no mistaking this feeling.”
“Jia 17… has Spiritual Wisdom?”
Upon this realization, Jia 15 felt a jolt in his heart.
But he wasn’t able to suppress a trace of… delight!
“I, I have a son?!”
When he was in human form, he was entirely focused on his cultivation and showed no interest in women, so naturally, he had no offspring.
But after possessing the Spirit Chicken, he had mated with numerous female Spirit Chickens, and had hatched quite a few offspring.

However, he knew full well that, besides himself, all of the Spirit Chickens in the group were not much different from idiots.
Unlike other Spirit Beasts, which become smarter as they advance in class, many spirit chickens appear to be defective in some way, either by being foolish or being frantic.
So, he had never had any romantic feelings towards these female Spirit Chickens – not that this was the main point. The main point was that he did not care for the offspring they produced.
Even though he noticed his offspring gradually diminishing, probably due to that little demon taking them away, he didn’t particularly care.
Because the offspring were simply too numerous.
Every single one of them was foolish and dull, so in his heart, he never regarded these chickens as his progeny.
However, an exception appeared today.
“Jia 17… shares my last name, Jia… No, it’s Lin!”
Jia 15 shook his head, but when he looked at Jia 17 again, there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes.
Having reached his current stage of cultivation, it’s nearly been three hundred years; it seemed like he had a son in his old age.
He couldn’t help but inspect Jia 17 from all angles, and his happiness seemed to increase the more he looked.
“This child, looks quite like me. Look at these thick claws, this red crest, these wings… the white spots on its body are slightly different from mine. That must have been inherited from its mother…”
“Er… which one was his mother?”
Jia 15 scrunched his brows inward, trying to remember.
But he gave up trying to recall quite quickly.
There were so many of them, he really couldn’t remember.
But this was not important.
As long as this child had his blood, he would forever be the chicken… no, the human of the Lin family]
With this thought, he was ready to approach and strengthen the father-son relationship.
But he suddenly stopped dead in his tracks.
Jia 17 was brutally pecking at a Class II male Spirit Chicken.
“Stop, stop! That’s your brother!”
Jia 15 couldn’t help but yell out.
It came out as ‘cluck cluck’.
Anxious, he started to intervene.
Although he didn’t acknowledge those foolish offspring, they were still his flesh and blood after all. To watch brothers fight against each other was an affront to familial piety. How could he just stand by and watch?
But then.
[Ding!]
[The Abundance System sub-task has been activated!]
[You can choose: ]
[1. Rise of the Demon Dao: Use your bloodline offspring as a sacrifice to enhance yourself!]
[Task requirement: For each first-generation offspring killed and specifically sacrificed, you will gain a Demonic Value point, which can accumulate. Every 1000 points will allow you to use your lifespan to instantly master a random spell.]
[Current accumulated Demonic Value: 0 points]
[Special sacrifice procedure: Pluck all the feathers of the offspring, process the corpse by its head, wings, legs, organs… the beak and claws need special treatment…]
[Once the task is activated, you will receive a random trial opportunity.]
[2. Father’s Love is Like a Mountain: Continue to reproduce and enhance yourself!]
[Task requirement: For each first-generation offspring you born, you will gain a Fatherly Love Point, which can be accumulated. Every 1000 points will allow you to use your lifespan to instantly master a random spell.]
[Current accumulated Fatherly Love Point: 0 points]
[Once the task is activated, you will receive a random trial opportunity.]
“A task?”
Jia 15 looked a little puzzled, but quickly calmed down.
Thanks to his prior experience with the Abundance System, he quickly accepted the emergence of this task system.
However, he was stuck in a dilemma over which task to choose.
“The Rise of the Demon Dao… requires me to kill my offspring…”
“Father’s Love is Like a Mountain, it seems similar to the Abundance System, I just need to continue reproducing…”
Jia 15 was too engrossed in weighing his options to stop Jia 17.
Deep down, he wasn’t willing to hurt his offspring.
Even though he didn’t acknowledge them, they were still his bloodline descendants after all.
Moreover, on a closer look, the condition for obtaining spells was to consume lifespan.
And there was only one way to obtain lifespan.
And that was to continue reproducing.
With that in mind, there was no need to choose the first option.
If he was going to mate anyway, the first option – Rise of the Demon Dao – seemed redundant.
“I’ll just endure the hardship!”
Jia 15 thought to himself.
Although just the thought of the process, those female Spirit Chickens without any response at all, was enough to spoil his appetite.
