The Witch Hunter System

Although spirit energy could be used to strengthen the vitality of the fetus during its developing stage or even completely isolate mana from contacting it, this method wasn't exactly optimum.

After all, if there were no contact between the fetus and mana, no mana compatibility would develop at all. As such, the baby may be born healthy, but it would lack talent in the field of mana.

Vaan didn't doubt that the potential of spirit energy wasn't any less than mana and may even exceed it in some areas. As such, it was possibly fine for infants to be born talentless in mana and focus on spirit energy cultivation.

However, he couldn't quite approve of such a direction.

Vaan wasn't a parent, but he felt that children shouldn't be deprived of such talents. After all, children were innocent; they didn't ask to be born in this world. They were given life due to the choices of their parents.

As such, allowing children to be born with disabilities would be quite cruel to them.

Even if reproduction was required for the survival and continuation of Pangean Humans, he believed that all children should be equipped with the necessary talents at birth so they could at least have the option to choose their own path.

Furthermore, even if spirit energy cultivation wasn't inferior to mana cultivation, all worlds eventually converged with Chaos, which was centered around mana.

As such, mana compatibility was essential for living, regardless of whether people could manipulate mana or not.

Of course, Vaan had already figured out that anyone could use mana. He himself was living proof since he had successfully cultivated mana in his Upper Dantian. The only difference was that he cultivated with pure mana.

After all, Gehenna's mana was unsuited for men unless it was at a certain level of purity. Due to its nature, it would conflict with the testosterone in men yet tolerate the estrogen in women.

In the concept of duality, the Gehenna's mana would be considered yin, which aligned with women. On the other hand, men were yang. As such, they needed mana of yang nature.

In the vast multiverse of Chaos, Vaan believed there were many realms with mana of yang nature. Gehenna just wasn't one of them. The nature of its mana may have even been affected by the strong influence of Thanatos's Death Law or the seemingly bottomless death energy sealed in the Sea of Darkness.

Nevertheless, on the matter of fertility, life energy was essentially the perfect choice for protecting the vitality of the fetus.

Not only would life energy ensure the healthy development of the fetus, but it may even evolve the fetus's mana, allowing a baby to be born with much greater mana compatibility.

Of course, it was unrealistic to use life energy to produce every perfect birth.

However, even wood-attribute mana and light-attribute mana were possibly better alternatives than spirit energy. After all, they could also boost vitality and nurture life.

That said, even these options were not without their cons either.

After all, using wood-attribute mana or light-attribute mana to interfere with the normal mana interacting with the fetus could cause all infants to be born with wood-attribute or light-attribute affinities only.

As such, it shouldn't be a necessity to rely solely on these methods.

Nevertheless, there was a more fundamental problem that caused Pangean Humans to have such a high miscarriage rate and low reproduction. Pregnancy healthcare was simply undeveloped.

When Vaan compared the Celestial Kingdom's knowledge with the surface world's knowledge on the matter, he realized the surface world's development into pregnancy healthcare was practically non-existent.

Since people living on the surface had always been struggling for survival, they did not have the privilege of living in a prosperous age where they could focus on quality-of-life improvements like the Celestial Kingdom.

Who would normally think that a pregnant woman's diet, habits, living environment, and even mental state could affect the development and well-being of the baby in her belly?

Most people wouldn't have the time or luxury to consider what they should eat and do when they were struggling to put food on the table each day.

Nevertheless, the UN was becoming increasingly wealthy and assimilating the knowledge of the Celestial Kingdom. Most common problems like the fertility rate would eventually be resolved.

…

With the world's direction and development on track, Vaan found some time to return to Sunpeak City and spend quality time with his women.

However, considering the rapid development of the UN, everyone with managerial or government positions found themselves swamped with work every day. They barely had time to even cultivate.

As such, at the time of Vaan's arrival, only Dahlia seemed to be the most available. Even though she really wasn't, she was overjoyed by his visit and postponed her busy schedule with real estate matters to make time for him.

The moment Dahlia heard the news from her assistant, she quickly ran downstairs and dived straight into Vaan's arms.

"I miss you so much, Vaan!"

"Mm, I've missed you too, Dahlia."

Although it hadn't been two weeks since they had last met, the amount of time they had spent together in the past month may not have even exceeded two hours.

In the future, there might even be fewer opportunities to meet due to increasing work.

As such, Dahlia couldn't help but act passionately from the get-go, heavily breathing in Vaan's manly scent to refill her Vaanergy. However, her indulgence with his scent seemed to make her drunk on it. Her face was flushed, and her body heat increased.

Since their relationship had always been more physical than spiritual, Dahlia was quickly aroused.

Seeing the growing desire in her eyes and the pinkish atmosphere, Vaan smiled and carried her in his arms. He then brought her back to her bedroom and locked the door behind him.

The floor creaked with every step.

Honestly, Vaan's attainment in body refining had already reached a level that transcended human limits and entered a realm that humans considered godly.

As such, he had to exert great control over his strength to avoid destruction and harm to the people and things around him. If he wanted to dual-cultivate with others, he had to execute an even greater control over his strength. Otherwise, his thrusts would seriously injure them, and shooting his load could even be fatal.

Fortunately, with the exception of Henrietta, all his women had received the Divine Inheritance and entered the Divine Star Realm at least.

With the protection of their divine energy, they would not harmed by his mind-boggling physical strength, which could be as high as one billion jin, five hundred million kilograms, or five hundred thousand tons of force.

Following the mood of the moment, the two quickly stripped naked, embraced each other, and exchanged salivas with their feverish kisses.

However, when it was time to become one, disaster struck.

Boom!

When Vaan thrust his penis into Dahlia's pussy, the bed broke, and the floor itself collapsed. As a result, they both plummeted from the second floor to the first floor, along with the broken bed.

"Ahh! What happened?! Are we under attack?!"

"No, look! The second floor collapsed!"

Without any surprise, the female assistants on the first floor of the property were alarmed and frightened by the sudden commotion.

However, they quickly calmed down when they recognized who had fallen from the second floor. Still, it only lasted a moment before their faces flushed with embarrassment.

When Dahlia sensed the shy, curious gazes directed at her, she felt embarrassed and ashamed. She quickly separated from Vaan and pulled the white bedsheets over herself, leaving none for Vaan.

As a result, Vaan simply stood by the broken bed in the nude with his full package on proud display. He didn't seem to have the slightest shame and allowed himself to be admired.

Honestly, it was already too late to hide from the current situation. As such, he might as well embrace. Pathetically covering himself would only affront his dignity.

"Kyaa!"

The inexperienced female assistants screamed once their curious gazes landed on Vaan's large manhood. They quickly covered their faces with their hands as if it was the most appropriate thing to do, yet they still peeked between their fingers.

"L-Lord Vaan! Madam Dahlia! Are you both alright? I'm very sorry! I didn't mean to look!"

"If you know you are not meant to look, then why are you still looking?"

Vaan glanced at the cute female assistants with amusement. They immediately closed the gap between their fingers to cover their eyes. Then, he watched as their fingers trembled, as if they wanted to separate for another curious peek.

However, even without seeing, two cute female assistants could sense Vaan's gaze on them. As a result, their faces, which were covered by their hands, burned with even more embarrassment.

"I-I'm really sorry!"

The two cute female assistants quickly fled the scene like frightened little rabbits. They were unable to cope with the pressure of the situation.

Shortly after they were gone, Vaan felt a tug on his hand from Dahlia, who looked like she wanted to continue despite the situation they found themselves in. Dahlia didn't really want to stop after receiving her first pump.

"Can we…?"

"Naturally, my Lady."

…

Inside the City Lord's manor, Aeliana was signing off on several documents. From the stack of papers on her right, it was clear that she had a lot of paperwork to complete.

It was a tedious and menial job, but it was related to the development of Sunpeak City, which had become the new center of the world. Its prosperity directly affected the opinions and influence the UN exerted on other countries.

As such, Aeliana remained sharp and diligent with her work.

However, her pen hand suddenly paused as the surface of the coffee in the glass cup on her left rippled.

Thud, thud, thud…

Aeliana stared blankly as the distant yet consistent tremors in the city continued to stir her coffee cup. Her eyes glazed over with confusion and doubts for a moment before becoming sharp and firm again.

There was a lot of commotion in the city due to construction work, but none that would create such tremors. Instead, such tremors sounded more like strong impacts from an ongoing battle.

"How bold! Who dares to fight in my city and stir trouble?!" Aeliana angrily shot up from her seat.
