The reason this is being brought up is that Lin Luo currently feels as if he is turning into a giant centipede.

After the conclusion, Shenqi didn't collapse limply onto the bed, moaning softly like most women might after; instead, she abruptly flipped over, pinning Lin Luo beneath her. Before he could even react, her eyes suddenly flashed with a virulent green light, and in an instant, Lin Luo found himself utterly immobilized, even sensing something being forcibly drawn out of him.

In that moment, Lin Luo didn't just feel like a male centipede; he felt like the lustful scholar from films like A Chinese Ghost Story, and Shenqi was the female ghost who had transformed into a beautiful young lady, now draining his yang energy after their pleasure.

Fortunately, Shenqi’s process of "draining yang" wasn't lengthy. Before Lin Luo’s wildly imaginative scenarios could conclude, she returned to normal, her face etched with exhaustion.

Lin Luo instinctively checked his body, finding nothing amiss, and couldn't help but ask, "What were you doing?"

Shenqi clutched her chest and managed a wry smile. "Witches cannot conceive."

"What did you say?!" At these words, Lin Luo was utterly dumbfounded.

"The reason Witches are ostracized by everyone isn't just because they are harbingers of disaster, but also because Witches fundamentally oppose the world itself. In this world, whether human, Yokai, or even Demon, everyone eventually reaches the end of their lifespan. But Witches do not; they possess true immortality."

"However, the root of a Witch's immortality isn't that their lifespan is genuinely endless. It’s their ability to seize. This ability is independent of the Witch’s consciousness; it is an uncontrollable instinct. Once the energy sustaining a Witch’s immortality begins to wane, the Witch will automatically seize the vitality of the world to replenish that energy again, creating an endless cycle."

"..." Hearing this, Lin Luo was stunned. He never imagined that Witches possessed such a ‘bug’ ability, one vaguely similar to that of the Abyssal Demons.

Yet, possessing such a power must come with a price.

Indeed, just as Lin Luo was pondering this, a look of desolate sorrow crossed Shenqi’s face, and she spoke, "But having this ability doesn't mean a Witch can live forever. In fact, precisely because of it, survival in this world becomes increasingly difficult, as they are not tolerated by the world. Every time this ability manifests, the Will of the World comes to slay the Witch. The world itself won't strike directly, but it will conjure all manner of dangers around the Witch. For example, the reason the Werewolf Clan came to hunt me last time was due to the World Will's influence. If you, someone from a different era, hadn't interfered, I surely would have died... Furthermore, simultaneously, neither Hell nor Reincarnation will accept a Witch’s soul. When humans or Yokai die, they either achieve Buddhahood or become spirits, or they reincarnate. But if a Witch dies, it is absolute obliteration into dust."

Hearing this, Lin Luo finally understood why Shenqi's mother had driven her out of the Demon Clan after she became a Witch. It was clearly linked to Shenqi's seizing ability.

"Then, is the inability to conceive also due to that?"

"Yes. It is not a physiological reason, but the world's rejection."

Lin Luo understood; in the end, it was all the world's fault.

However, one point still confused Lin Luo, and he frowned. "Since you can no longer conceive, then what about what you said earlier about wanting to have a child with me...?"

Shenqi didn't answer, but extended her hand before Lin Luo. In the next instant, a faint, reddish flame sparked to life in her palm.

Seeing this, Lin Luo was utterly shocked, for he was intimately familiar with this power—it was Creation!

It was then that Shenqi explained, "Witches possess two seizing skills. The first is the passive draining of the world’s vitality that I just mentioned. The second... once a Witch unites with her first man, she can seize one of that man's abilities. Actually, 'copy' is a more appropriate term than 'seize.' Just now, I copied your Creation."

Lin Luo was speechless, left wryly remarking, this time proving once again that old saying: the naturally innocent ones are often the most devious.

Shenqi probably realized her actions were somewhat dishonorable and showed a hint of shame. "I know what I did was excessive, but truly, I had no other recourse. It is only because of your existence that I could evade the Witch's tribulation. But once you leave, every twelve years I will have to fight the World Consciousness again. No matter how hard I try, relying solely on my own strength, I absolutely cannot endure for thousands or tens of thousands of years. That is why I resorted to this desperate measure..."

Lin Luo looked at her expression and could sense her sincerity. He patted her shoulder, signaling that he didn't mind. In truth, this matter caused him no actual loss, as his Creation power was not diminished, and Shenqi's motivation was merely to ensure they could reunite in the future.

Yet, what puzzled Lin Luo was, "With this ability, can you truly create a child?" This seemed incredible to him, especially since even at his quasi-Heavenly Rank, he couldn't create life.

When this topic arose, Shenqi instantly shifted from worry to elation, excitedly proclaiming, "I can! Although I only just acquired this ability, I know it's possible. I even vaguely sense that it might not only bring me a child but perhaps even allow me to create a world!"

"Create a world?!"

Hearing this sentence, a thought stirred instantly in Lin Luo’s heart, and he immediately grasped the immense connection between the future and the present.

The Shenqi of the future is the God of the Demon Realm, and her ability is defined as world creation. Yet, the current Shenqi possesses not even a trace of creative power. But that is different now; only after obtaining his rules of Creation has Shenqi truly gained the potential to become the God of the Demon Realm.

Though Shenqi is rejected by this world, Creation can grant her the power to resist it—that power being the world she herself creates: the Demon Realm!

Thus, everything fell into place. Indeed, cause and effect circle around; one never knows until they act, and the result is startling.

Before arriving in this era, Lin Luo never imagined that he would not only be the one who helped Yakumo Yukari and Kazami Yuuka become the strongest Yokai, but even Shenqi, this God of the Demon Realm, owed her status to him.

Still, could a child born from Shenqi’s act of Creation truly be considered his child?

It felt somewhat dubious.
