The living babies had yet to open their eyes, which meant that there was still hope.
But they had to find the whereabouts of the 24th holy child.
“The world is so big, and there are countless miscarried babies. Where are we going to find the whereabouts of the last holy child?” Dongfang Xiagui shook his head and lamented, “We can’t dig up the graves of every miscarried baby!”
How long would it take?!
“Before we find the whereabouts of the last holy child, the heavens will have already gathered all the energy of the holy children, then he will be able to successfully revive!” Dietrich slapped her thigh and resigned herself to fate. “He created the Holy Spirit Continent. If he revives, whether the continent will be destroyed or survive will depend on his will.”
Dietrich started to give up. She said, “It’s hopeless anyway. Let’s just lie down and wait for death.”
“You dwarves are still as useless as ever. You’re indeed a group of shorties who like to live underground!” The dwarves were good at digging caves and were also builders of underground palaces. Almost all the underground and rail projects on the continent were built by dwarves.
Dwarves were greedy and afraid of death, so they were the creatures that the elves disliked the most.
Dietrich rolled her eyes and asked Carasso, “Then go dig them yourself! You elves have always boasted that you are the purest creature in the world. When it comes to digging graves, you guys probably won’t even dare to touch the coffin lid!”
“I won’t lower myself to your level!” Carasso turned his head and silently moved his legs to stand further away from Dietrich.
Everyone knew that the elves and the dwarves didn’t get along. Whenever Carasso and Dietrich met, they either quarreled or fought.
Sheng Lingfeng reached out and shouted, “Enough, there are still juniors here. Aren’t you guys afraid of embarrassing yourselves in front of the juniors?”
Carasso and Dietrich immediately looked at Yu Huang and her husband awkwardly.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao lowered their heads and looked at the baby in the coffin, as if they didn’t hear their argument.
Carasso and Dietrich stopped arguing.
Sheng Lingfeng looked at Xiao Shu again and said thoughtfully, “Xiao Shu, since you know the background of the 24th holy children, I think you also know some other insider information that we don’t know. I want to know, are we really unable to find the 24th holy child?”
Yu Huang, who had been pretending to observe the babies, raised her head to look at Xiao Shu again.
Xiao Shu looked hesitant.
Clearly, he knew something.
Sheng Xiao couldn’t help but ask Xiao Shu, “Xiao Shu, do you know how to find the 24th holy child?”
Nodding his head, Xiao Shu said, “The 24th holy child is the most powerful one among all the holy children. Among the 24 solar terms, it represents spring awakening. After spring awakening, spring lightning begins to roar, and everything grows crazily. Therefore, Jingzhe also represents hope. It is the most difficult holy child to find.”
At this point, Xiao Shu suddenly looked at Yu Huang and said, “Spring awakening holy babies are the most difficult to conceive. According to what I know, spring awakening holy babies need at least three years to be born. Other holy babies only need to absorb natural spirit artifacts to grow, while the growth of the spring awakening holy babies requires sacrificing the future of the continent.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang suddenly took a deep breath and said, “The future of a world is often closely related to the newborns in this world. The birth rate of the Divine Realm Continent and even the entire Holy Spirit Continent is zero this year… Could this be because that spring awakening holy baby is rapidly growing?”
“You’re right.” Xiao Shu’s gaze swept across Sheng Lingfeng and the others. Then, he stared at the row of small coffins on the ground without blinking and said in a low voice, “Finding the 24th holy child is actually very simple. We only need to find someone who is currently pregnant and quite late into her pregnancy.”
“If that’s the case, then it’s easy.” The gloominess on Sheng Lingfeng’s face instantly dissipated. He said, “Some time ago, the various countries’ fertility departments calculated the number of pregnant women in various regions. According to statistics, there are less than ten pregnant women in the entire Holy Spirit Continent.”
After the range narrowed to ten digits, Sheng Lingfeng and the others felt much more relaxed.
Sheng Xiao asked Sheng Lingfeng, “There are only a little over ten pregnant women on the entire continent?”
