After the cover was lifted, a dazzling golden light shot out. Instantly, the entire conference hall turned golden.

After a long while, the golden light disappeared.

After Yu Huang looked into the coffin, she wasn’t surprised to see 22 fair and chubby babies.

There were 22 babies, males and females. All of them were healthy and cute. At this moment, they were all sleeping.

“Hiss—” Dietrich couldn’t help but gasp.

“This…” Carasso suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Dongfang Xiagui also pursed his lips tightly. His lips kept moving, but because of fear and uneasiness, he couldn’t say a word.

Sheng Lingfeng stared at the baby with a dark expression as he asked in confusion, “What is she trying to do?”

At this moment, they suddenly heard a young male voice—

“It’s the 24 holy children!”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly turned around and looked outside the conference hall. They saw a red-haired young man walking towards the conference hall.

“Xiao Shu!” Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang recognized him immediately.

Ji Linyuan naturally recognized Xiao Shu. He frowned and asked Xiao Shu, “Xiao Shu, what are you talking about?”

Xiao Shu didn’t answer Ji Linyuan’s question.

He smiled helplessly and shrugged at Sheng Xiao and the others as he said inexplicably, “Am I walking into a trap?”

Sheng Xiao frowned. “You shouldn’t have come back.” If the world found out about his true identity, he would be in danger.

Xiao Shu smiled calmly and said, “I have to come back. In this world, only I know his motives and goals.”

Sheng Lingfeng turned around and asked Sheng Xiao, “Xiao’er, which family is this young man called Xiao Shu from?” Sheng Lingfeng didn’t have a deep impression of Xiao Shu. He only knew that he was an S-rank student from the Divine Realm Academy and was a good friend of Sheng Xiao. A few years ago, he joined the Yin Clan and became their guest beast tamer.

He didn’t pay special attention to him.

However, a few days ago, when he found out that Xiao Shu had also successfully passed the Kunlun Mystic Realm, Sheng Lingfeng became curious about him.

He had even investigated Xiao Shu’s identity, but he realized that his parents were just ordinary civilians. They had passed away in an accident a few years ago. Therefore, Sheng Lingfeng was even more curious about Xiao Shu when he heard the mysterious conversation between Xiao Shu and Sheng Xiao.

How could someone born from commoners know about something like the 24 holy children?

Besides, who were these 24 holy children?

At this moment, Yu Huang asked Sheng Lingfeng, “Xiao Shu, what do the 24 holy children mean?”

Sheng Lingfeng wasn’t in a hurry to ask about Xiao Shu’s background. Compared to this, he was more curious about what Xiao Shu was referring to.

At this moment, the other vice presidents were also looking at Xiao Shu with a scrutinizing and strange gaze.

Xiao Shu naturally knew what these people were thinking.

He also knew that after he told the truth about the 24 holy children, these people would definitely suspect his origins.

But he had no choice. There was someone in this world he desperately wanted to protect.

Once Holy Spirit Goldfeather’s plan was completed, this world would be destroyed. The woman and friends he wanted to protect would also disappear.

Compared to the lives of his lover and friends, Xiao Shu suddenly felt that even if his identity was exposed, becoming the public enemy of the Beast Tamers didn’t seem to be that terrifying.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shu said, “When a Divine Master creates a world, they will leave their mortal body and reconstruct their divine body. During this process, their mortal body will transform into 24 spiritual bodies to maintain the basic operation of the world.”

When she heard this, a thought flashed across Yu Huang’s mind. She said, “The 24 spiritual bodies you’re talking about are the 24 solar terms, right?”

Xiao Shu looked at Yu Huang in admiration. Then, he nodded as he affirmed Yu Huang’s guess. “That’s right, it’s the 24 solar terms. Every solar term is a spiritual body. They will cooperate with each other and emit spiritual power to maintain the operation of this world.”

When Sheng Lingfeng heard Xiao Shu’s words, the suspicion in his heart deepened. He asked humbly, “Xiao Shu, I’m very puzzled. What is the connection between these children and the 24 solar terms?”

After Xiao Shu looked up at Sheng Lingfeng, he revealed a terrifying piece of information. “He wants to use his mortal body to absorb all the energy in the world and gather 24 spiritual bodies to complete his revival! The fetuses used to gather the energy of the world are called the holy children.”

Xiao Shu clenched his fists as he said, “He has already successfully gathered 23 holy children. He only needs to gather the last holy child to successfully revive! At that time, whether the Holy Spirit Continent will survive or get wiped out will be up to him.”

Everyone was shocked.

Sheng Lingfeng stared at the 23 coffins on the ground. Apart from feeling afraid, he also felt glad. He said, “Fortunately, we found these 23 holy children in advance and saw through his scheme.”

However, Xiao Shu shook his head and said, “The 24 solar terms will always exist. Similarly, the 24 holy children also exist at the same time. Since you guys found these 23 holy children, then the 24th holy children must have already appeared.”

“What?!” Yu Huang was shocked and said, “But among the female disciples married out by the Liuli Clan, there are only these 23 miscarried children. If the 24th holy child already exists, then where is he hiding?”

“I don’t know either. However, the baby hasn’t opened his eyes yet, which means that the last holy child hasn’t really revived.” Xiao Shu stared at the closed eyes of the little babies and said with a serious expression, “When the baby opens his eyes, it means the 24 holy children have successfully revived.”
