Lamplighter

The three of them arrived at the location where the anomaly had occurred.

The people below had not sensed the birth of these anomalies.

The Taiyin Spirit looked at the situation in the sky above. "I must intervene."

"Otherwise, there will be some chaos here, as some people can still sense this strange change."

With a wave of the Taiyin Spirit's hand, the area was invisibly sealed off, preventing anyone else from seeing the anomaly.

Just then, Qian Yun arrived.

Upon seeing the three, Qian Yun asked, "What happened? That anomaly just now was not simple."

"Just by looking at it, I had an urge to join those people. This is the first time such a thing has happened, and that was merely an anomaly."

"And that lamp of hope at the very top—I felt as if I could see countless possibilities for myself within it."

The Taiyin Spirit looked down, not rushing to answer. "I will tell you later; that fellow is about to be born."

Seeing this, Qian Yun also observed the situation below.

With a wave of the Taiyin Spirit's hand, the situation of the couple was presented before them: twenty years of an ordinary, peaceful, and warm life.

Qian Yun watched these scenes. "To a certain extent, this couple is truly remarkable."

"Indeed, no wonder."

Qian Yun was somewhat puzzled. "What kind of Physique will this person be born with?"

The Taiyin Spirit was not certain either. "Let's watch and see; they are about to be born."

At this moment, the people below began to feel a bit nervous.

Everyone was hoping that the person inside would be safe and sound.

The man was even more so, his palms starting to sweat.

Just then, the cry of a baby rang out, and a child was born.

And at the moment the baby was born, those anomalies changed.

Those who were originally holding oil lamps suddenly looked toward the direction where the baby was born.

They each reached out a hand, as if welcoming his arrival.

A moment later, the anomalies vanished.

Qian Yun and Ling Wanqing were both quite surprised by what had occurred. The anomaly seemed to have consciousness—what was the origin of that child?

The man below heard the cry, and his tense emotions eased slightly.

But a moment later, he was still waiting for one more sound.

An old woman pushed open the door and smiled, "Congratulations, congratulations, both mother and child are safe."

"Your wife has given birth to a big, healthy baby boy."

As soon as these words fell, the man instantly felt relieved.

"That's great, that's great."

The people around also offered their congratulations one after another.

Mu Ming walked into the room happily, looking at his wife lying weakly on the bed.

He quietly came to her side.

"You've worked hard, my wife."

The woman could see Mu Ming's worry.

She tried her best to smile with her remaining strength and said, "I'm fine, go take a look at our son."

"You should rest well; leave the rest to me."

Mu Ming picked up his son, looking at the wiggling child before him.

"From now on, you shall be called Mu Xundeng, how is that?"

The child had originally been crying, but upon hearing these words, he stopped as if in approval.

Seeing the child's reaction, Mu Ming said, "It seems our child really likes this name."

"Xundeng, Mu Xundeng."

Above, Qian Yun carefully examined the child's condition. He wanted to know what kind of Physique or Aptitude he had.

To cause such an anomaly to occur.

However, he checked several times and could not see any abnormalities.

During the first check, he thought he had been careless and failed to detect it.

Later, he realized that the child's Aptitude could only be described as average.

Qian Yun was somewhat puzzled. "What is going on? Did I sense it wrong? How does this child have no special Physique, and his Aptitude is just average?"

"By logic, this shouldn't be. I haven't found anything peculiar for the time being; no matter how I look at it, it's just an ordinary child being born."

"But an ordinary child shouldn't be able to trigger such an anomaly."

The Taiyin Spirit shook its head. "No, you did not sense it wrong. This child truly has no special Physique or Aptitude."

Upon hearing this, Qian Yun asked, "Then what is this?"

"If I am not mistaken, this is a child brought forth by the lamp of hope."

Hearing this, Qian Yun and Ling Wanqing looked at the Taiyin Spirit.

Clearly, neither of them knew what the situation was.

Seeing this, the Taiyin Spirit said, "I am not very clear on the specifics either."

"But I have heard a rumor from a very, very long time ago, a rumor that also appeared in my memories."

"It is rumored that the lamp of hope has a group of followers, whom the world calls 'Lamp Lighter'."

"No one knows what abilities these Lamp Lighter have; only that they are mysterious and unfathomable."

"They are not a single person, but a group. Their mission is to follow the direction of the lamp of hope."

"The lamp of hope grants them the power of hope. You must know a little bit about this power of hope."

"It is one of the mysterious and unfathomable abilities."

"They gather together, and no one knows what they will do next or what they are looking for."

"But they have a unique ability, and this ability is the only way to find the lantern of hope."

"To find the lamp of hope, one must have the guidance of the Lamp Lighter."

"When they gather together, they will know the location and information of the lamp of hope."

"Thereby following the lamp. It is rumored that the journey of following the lamp of hope is very mysterious and arduous; I am not entirely sure what specifically happens."

"No one knows where the Lamp Lighter are, nor do they know how they are born; there is no record of them in the Immortal Realm."

"Very few people even know about this matter."

Qian Yun was very shocked after hearing these things.

It was indeed the first time he had heard of such a thing, and it brought him some shock.

"Are you saying that this child is one of those members? That makes sense then."

"The people holding ancient oil lamps in the anomaly just now were those so-called Lamp Lighter, and that thing at the very top was the lamp of hope."

"No wonder those people appeared the way they did the moment this child was born; they were welcoming the arrival of a new member."

"This child is a Lamp Lighter. So that's how it is. This is simply too shocking."

Seeing this scene, the Taiyin Spirit nodded. "That's right. I didn't expect such a thing to happen either; I had always thought it was just a legend."

"I didn't expect it to be a real event, and now it has truly appeared before our eyes."

"Which means we have a chance to come into contact with the legendary lamp of hope."

"Although the probability is currently very small—one could say it is negligibly small—it is still quite good overall."

Qian Yun had witnessed yet another thing he had not expected.

"Let's go back first; there are some things to discuss later."

"We don't need to worry about this child for now; let him grow up in peace. He needs the company of his parents."

"He will be able to have a perfect childhood."
