Chapter 977: The Talent is Too Fierce, Truly I, Elder Luo, am Unworthy!_1

Luo Tiance, as the current number one person of Great Xia, had weathered countless storms but had never been as shocked as he was today.

The emotional turmoil from all the life-threatening incidents in his lifetime added together was no match for this moment.

His scalp tingled, his pupils dilated, his hands trembled, and his breathing was rapid.

Such signs appearing on the First Person of Great Xia were simply inconceivable.

Luo Tiance stared resolutely at the peacefully closed-eyed infant sleeping in his swaddle.

His heart was filled with shock.

Is this my grandson?

He was confident in the strength of his bloodline, but this was a bit too outrageous.

It was like a frigging dream.

But how could he, with his formidable cultivation level, dream without being aware of it? Everything that had just happened was real.

Even the astonishing phenomena in the sky just now had made the surrounding spiritual energy more than several times denser.

Moreover, Luo Tiance could clearly feel an extraordinary aura contained within the frail body in his arms.

At that moment, a voice came from the side.

"Dad, you didn't create that spectacle in the sky just now, did you? It was too exaggerated," Luo Fan said, his eyes wide as he looked at Luo Tiance.

"Hmm?"

Luo Tiance snapped back to his senses, glanced at his son, and then peeked at the midwife, who stood there with her mouth open in a daze.

"You've worked hard, you may go now. There will be a reward later."

"Thank you, my lord."

Upon receiving the command, the midwife bowed and quickly left, disappearing into the courtyard.

"Smack!"

After the midwife left, Luo Tiance first used his spiritual power to prop up Luo Fan to prevent him from falling.

Then he slapped him on the back of the head.

Luo Fan was directly dazed by the slap, looking at his father with tearful eyes.

"Dad!"

"Father!!"

"Why did you give me such a big damn lecture for no reason?"

Luo Tiance glared and said:

"The midwife was just here. Don't ask what shouldn't be asked."

Luo Fan muttered:

"Nanny Li has been with our family for so many years, loyal and dedicated. She doesn't leave the Luo family mansion on normal days; there shouldn't be a problem."

Luo Tiance snorted coldly, "Do you know that those who are not cautious on the battlefield are already disabled?"

Luo Fan's face turned green. Opening his mouth, he found himself at a loss for words.

I suspect you're targeting me.

And I even have evidence.

But I don't dare to speak right now because there's a fist the size of a sandbag in front of my face.

However, Luo Fan soon stopped dwelling on the lecture he just received and asked repeatedly:

"Dad, did you create that spectacle in the sky earlier with some magical treasure?"

"Wasn't it a bit too exaggerated?"

Luo Tiance staggered slightly, his expression strange as he asked:

"You also think the spectacle from earlier was exaggerated?"

Luo Fan nodded vigorously.

"Yes!"

"That was a bit too much."

"The phenomena for the birth of a Saint shouldn't be this terrifying, can he even be my son? No child's birth phenomena could possibly be this horrifying."

"Dad, I think we went overboard with our act. Are others going to believe it?"

Luo Tiance looked at his son's incredulous look, at him critiquing his own acting, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.

He had prepared in advance the Huanling Pearl for simulating illusions and the Jade Pendant for feigning momentum, but he hadn't used them yet.

This situation wasn't part of the script he had designed in advance.

```

It was nothing like the script he had designed in advance.

In the script he had ready, there was also a fake grandson's birth accompanied by a supernatural phenomenon, but when his grandson was really born, he realized his imagination wasn't rich enough, his thinking was too narrow.

He had conceived of mimicking the image of a legendary Divine Spirit and fabricating a scene of Divine Power being bestowed.

Good Lord, when his grandson was actually born, it shocked him for ten thousand years.

Purple qi came from the east, covering endless miles, with all kinds of top-tier, unheard of phenomena emerging one after another. The Four Great Holy Beasts appeared from all directions, offering congratulations and praise. The golden glow erupted with projections of saints. The scene he had planned to simulate with the Huanling Pearl wasn't even one-percent as shocking as the real thing.

Even now, Luo Tiance's head was buzzing.

He wondered where he had gone wrong.

Could his bloodline really be this outstanding?

It made him so unsure of himself.

His grandson having such terrifying talent, it was really as if he, Elder Luo, didn't deserve it.

Watching the glow fade from the infant's body, Luo Tiance remembered the earth-shattering phenomena from just now, and thought about maybe getting on his knees and bowing, because he felt quite insecure as a grandfather.

"Dad?"

Luo Fan looked at his father's daze and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Luo Tiance said with a wry smile:

"Son, no way."

"You don't think the heavenly phenomena just now were all faked by your dad, do you?"

Luo Fan shrugged and looked at his old man with a speechless expression.

"What else then?"

"Could a person really have such phenomena?"

"Throughout the history of Great Xia, the most we've heard of was gestation for three years, thunder in a clear sky, a golden dragon bestowing blessings, or being born with Heavy Pupil. I don't think there has ever been a record as frightening as with my son, right?"

"So the only truth is that all the phenomena were staged by you, faked."

"But your Cultivation Level really is getting higher and higher. I was standing here just now and didn't notice how you pulled it off."

"How can you..." Luo Tiance opened his mouth, "How can you be so clever."

Luo Fan said, "My child was ordinary until he reached your hands, that's when the sudden change happened."

"Besides, you told me about the 'deification' plan in advance, didn't you?"

"Stop it."

Luo Tiance smacked his forehead, unable to listen any further.

Luo Fan thought his old man was worried that the commotion just now was too exaggerated and nobody would believe it, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, even though the phenomena just now were exaggerated, they looked just like the real thing. The Foreign Forces might be suspicious, but as long as we play it off well, we won't be exposed."

"Hiss—"

Luo Tiance took a deep breath.

He felt too powerless to scoff.

What do you mean they looked just like the real thing, that was real!

More real than gold!

Unable to suppress the emotions welling inside, he said to Luo Fan:

"If your father told you that the phenomena just now weren't fake, that they were all real, would you believe it?"

Luo Fan shook his head, "You, my lord father, would only joke with me. Didn't you tell me the plan beforehand? Are you still pretending in front of your son?"

Luo Tiance's expression stiffened, and he said earnestly, "Actually, I didn't do anything just now, the phenomena were all real."

Luo Fan shook his head again and pointed to his own face.

"Look at this serious expression. Do you think I would believe it?"

"Let's not even talk about you telling me about the plan to create a god. Do I not know my own talents? Could I really have sired such an amazing son?"

"Even if I were the Jade Emperor, I wouldn't dare to imagine my son could be so incredible."

Luo Tiance felt a headache coming on.

You do have some self-awareness, son, but your son, my grandson, seems to really be a bit extraordinary.

Genetic mutations aren't usually this outrageous, are they?

He tried to explain earnestly to Luo Fan, "Listen to me, I didn't get to use the Huanling Pearl and Energy Storage Jade Pendant I had prepared in advance."

"What happened just now was all real."

Luo Fan's body suddenly tensed, the smile disappeared from his face, and he stared intently at Luo Tiance, holding the child.

His face was grave.
