Dark lord held his son and placed him on his neck, the little king's legs resting on both sides of his shoulders as he gently held the crown and placed it upon his son's head. To everyone's amazement, the crown adjusted its size to fit perfectly on the young king's head. It was as if the crown was created just for him.
Suddenly, a majestic aura from the little one erupted, spreading across the entire universe.
This aura was so majestic and strong that it made every single being in the universe bow down.
Even the strong individual who came to look at the Dark Lord's son, the individual of half god realm, couldn't help but bow down.
At this moment the whole universe was bowing in front of a single unnamed being, the son of the Dark Lord!
The new successor of Lin Badao, Lin Jue, was also among those strong individuals who gathered to witness the coronation of the little baby and couldn't help but bow down in front of him.
As he slowly looked up again toward the baby king, he saw something strange.
The little king, who was the future of this universe, held his crown with a mischievous smile and took it off from his head. With his tiny hands, he started to play with it, twirling it around and examining it with curiosity in his innocent eyes. The powerful artifact, meant to signify his kingship and authority, was now just a fascinating object of wonder for the young king.
Dark Lord saw it and smiled with warmth in his eyes which no one in this universe has ever seen. Everyone knew that if someone dare to even touch this little baby, their end will be devastating.
As they were thinking about how their future will be with the child when he will grow up, they heard the voice of the Dark Lord which left them dumbfounded, "I am planning to send my little kid to the mortal world to understand how the weaks feel. Once he understands them and becomes strong enough to be a king, he will return and reclaim his throne. So, wait for the day when your true king will return again."
As his voice spread across the universe, a sense of respect and admiration for the Dark Lord filled the hearts of everyone. They were thinking that as this baby will grow up in a high and mighty palace, he won't really understand the struggle of weaks.
However, with the Dark Lord's decision to send him to the mortal world, they now had confidence that this child would grow up to be a compassionate and understanding individual, capable of empathy and compassion for others.
With this, the Dark Lord commanded Little Kai to return to the palace. Little Kai nodded and took off into the sky and disappeared from the sight of everyone in an instant, returning to the palace in the blink of an eye.
In the experiment room...
The body of nature, in its spirit form, exerted its full force, relentlessly attempting to break through the formation seal.
It seemed like it was getting attracted towards something... which all of you might have already guessed...
Due to the Dark Lord's distraction and focus on the birth of his son, he had forgotten to increase the power of the seal, leaving it in a weakened state. After numerous attempts, the Body of Nature finally broke through the weakened seal that Dark Lord had set up, and it headed directly towards Luise's room.
Dark Lord and Little Kai stood inside Luise's room, looking at the heartwarming scene as Luise held a little baby in her arms and played with him affectionately. Suddenly, Dark Lord's expression turned serious as he sensed an unusual presence. Dark Lord's face became solemn, and his eyes turned dark as he swiftly turned around and unleashed a powerful defensive technique to counter the incoming threat.
However, despite his quick and valiant reaction, stopping the Body of Nature seemed next to impossible. The ethereal entity effortlessly dodged the defense, moving like an intangible specter, and with an incredible speed, it surged toward the little baby who was still in the loving grasp of Luise.
Everything happened with such astonishing speed that not even a billionth of a second could capture the intensity of the moment.
The body of nature went inside the body of the little baby, leaving Dark Lord in terrible expression.
He always wanted to give this constitution to his son but there was a delicate process to inherit it. The unforeseen turn of events left Dark Lord uncertain and anxious about what would happen next. He was afraid something might happen to his son and was ready to use every ounce of his power to save his son. If he had to turn back the time, he would do it!

Despite the lightning speed at which everything happened, Luise's keen senses and strong cultivation allowed her to sense that something unusual was happening. As a mother and a powerful individual in her own right, she could feel the surge of energy and the unusual presence that had enveloped her baby.
Luise looked at the Dark Lord's solemn face, her heart sinking as she observed the intensity of his expression. Coupled with how the Dark Lord swiftly launched an attack in the air, she knew that something grave had happened.
Suddenly, their little baby began to cry out in pain. His innocent face twisted with discomfort, and tears welled up in his eyes. The sound of his cries pulled at Luise's heartstrings, filling her with an overwhelming sense of worry.
Looking at her little baby like this, Luise couldn't hold back her concern any longer. With a tremble in her voice, she asked the Dark Lord, "Husband, what's wrong? What's happening to our son?"
The Dark Lord's usually composed demeanor wavered for a moment as he tried to answer her question. "I don't know," he replied, his voice tinged with concern. "The Body of Nature... It went inside him. I wanted to give him this constitution, but I didn't expect it to happen like this."
With every passing second, the pain in their baby's cries seemed to intensify, making Luise's heart ache even more. She felt a mix of fear and determination as she gently cradled the baby in her arms, trying to comfort him in any way she could.
The Body of Nature lacked consciousness, it was just driven by the instinct that was controlling it and causing pain to the baby in the process of inheritance.
Dark Lord took the baby from Luise and held him in his hand, using his power to help his son take control of the Body of Nature. However, what shocked him was that the pain was not from his physical body, but from his soul.
Dark Lord's son's body was getting integrated with the Body of Nature perfectly, but his soul was slightly lacking in the process.
Suddenly, a force erupted from the body of his son, it was as though it could swallow the entire universe in one fell swoop.
Little Kai suddenly appeared in front of Luise to resist the suction power. With Little Kai's intervention, Dark Lord felt relieved, knowing that nothing would happen to his wife.
But all the servants present weren't able to keep themselves safe and died under the power of the body of nature, neither dark lord could save them because if he moved his concentration then his son will die.
In that crucial moment, Dark Lord suddenly thought of something and began to give his spiritual energy to his son.
Dark lord looked at Luise and smiled with a bright face.
Luise felt something was wrong as her heart ached by looking at his innocent smile and ran towards the Dark Lord to hug him.
Looking at Luise, the dark lord shouted "No, don't come here."
Little Kai also tried to stop her but under her gaze, he didn't dare to stop her.
Ignoring everything, Luise rushed to the Dark Lord and embraced him with love and concern.
"Either we both live or we both die," she said firmly.
Dark Lord looked into Luise's serious eyes and replied with a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, we won't die. This force is not enough to kill the Dark Lord, we will just integrate with our son."
Luise didn't understand what Dark Lord meant but she held the dark lord tightly, afraid he will leave her behind.
Little Kai also approached to hug him, but the Dark Lord jokingly shouted, "What are you doing? I am not into that."
Little Kai suddenly stopped in his track and before he came back to his sense, he found himself in another place.
It was the universe of his master!
In the outside universe, the dark lord held Luise's hand and started to integrate with his son.
All of his cultivation was getting absorbed by his son's body, The Body of Nature.
Dark Lord held his son in his arms as he looked at Luise and said, "Even though it's called integration, but we won't have any consciousness, and we won't be able to think or do anything. But we will still be alive as a will. Do you still want to do it?"
Luise kept nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.
Dark lord smiled and said, "Just kidding."
Hearing this, Luise glared at him as if she was going to kill him.
"What? It's good news. You prefer to die here?"
"No, I just want to kill you."
Both of them started to fight and laugh like a little kid in a time like this.
Dark Lord shook his head and continued "Don't worry, my love. Although we won't die, our cultivation levels and realms will be destroyed,"
Luise said after hearing him with a glare "Why are you speaking as if it's a good thing?"
Dark lord smiled and shook his head and said nothing.
The body of Nature kept absorbing all of the Dark Lord's realm to stabilize itself. If he wanted to ensure his son's survival, he had to let go of his all cultivation.
While hugging Luise tightly, Dark Lord's mind raced with another plan. He decided to transfer his universe which was inside his soul to his son, giving him all the power of his soul.
With that in mind, Dark Lord pressed his head against his son's head and closed his eyes.
Soon, his son began to shine with a white light which slowly absorbed by his soul. His son's soul, which was not strong enough for the body of nature, began to become stronger and the universe of the Dark Lord's soul, which was trillions of times stronger and bigger than the current universe where they lived in, begin to transfer in the soul of his little baby soul.
As the master of his soul universe, Dark Lord easily transferred his universe to his little baby.
As time passed, Dark Lord's son's body finally stabilized and the universe of his soul completely integrated with the baby's soul.
As the Body of Nature completed its integration and the Dark Lord's cultivation sucked dry, Dark Lord sensed a presence nearby. However, before he could react or turn back to see who it was, a searing pain erupted in his chest.
Someone had penetrated his chest!!!
Dark Lord swiftly turned around to face the attacker, and there, before him, he saw the smiling face of the assassin.
