I Was Born Stronger Than The Protagonist-Chapter 22: Greatest genius

Without hesitation, he said, "System, put all my available points into my stats and use all my cultivation points to raise my cultivation level before I'm born."

The system responded, "Okay, starting the process now."

Cultivation Points: 10,103

Requirements met. Initiating breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm...

His eyes widened as the notification echoed inside his mind. Finally...

He took a deep breath, expecting the familiar pain from his first forced advancement. Muscles tightening, he braced himself

But nothing came.

No stabbing pain. No screaming meridians. Just a strange, warm sensation flowing through his body like liquid gold.

"Huh?" Jin blinked, confused. "This... feels kinda nice?"

The cultivation points began to drain rapidly.

Cultivation: None → Qi Gathering 1st Realm...

Qi Gathering 5th Realm...

Qi Gathering 9th Realm...

Foundation Establishment 1st... 5th... 9th...

Golden Core Realm – Achieved!

He stood still, stunned. Energy pulsed through his veins. His breathing was calm, body lighter, his senses sharper than ever. He looked at his own hands.

"Wah... System, that was way easier than I expected!" he grinned.

System: Easier so far, Host. But on the outside, something big is already happening, and the real challenge begins now.

Jin's smile froze.

"...What do you mean?" he asked, voice low.

System: A Heavenly Truevolution is descending upon you.

His heart skipped a beat. "Heavenly, what now?"

System: A divine reaction triggered by your existence. You've broken the natural order, Host. No one in the history of this world has ever started cultivating inside the womb and jumped straight to the Golden Core.

He felt his blood run cold. "Wait... So Heaven's gonna—punish me?"

System: It's not punishment. It's balance. Your rise defies the rules set by the world itself.

He clenched his fists. "That's why you told me not to break through so soon..."

System: Correct.

"System..." His voice trembled now. "I'm not strong enough to survive a Heavenly Truevolution. What do we do?"

System: Don't worry, Host. You're not alone. There are powerful individuals nearby—elders, guardians, even clan protectors. They can shield you. Your tribulation will be blocked before it reaches you.

Jin exhaled, the tight knot in his chest loosening slightly.

"Oh... thank god..." he muttered. His shoulders slumped in relief. "At least I won't get turned into a fried dumpling by heavenly lightning."

But then his eyes widened.

"Wait... you said something already happened outside, didn't you?" His heart started racing again. "System... is my mother okay?"

There was a pause.

System: Yes, Host. Don't worry. Your mother is safe. In fact... she's better than before.

That line was strangely comforting—but also suspicious.

"Better than before...?" Jin raised an eyebrow. "What happened then?"

When Angelina lost consciousness, Su Yan quickly brought her to the guest room. She gently lay her down on the bed.

Everyone inside was already preparing for the urgent delivery.

Su Yan gave clear instructions. "The baby is coming. We have to take care of her and help with the birth. You two—go get some warm water."

The woman nodded and rushed out without wasting a second.

Others moved quickly, gathering everything needed for the delivery—towels, blankets, herbs, clean cloths, and a small blade for cutting the cord. Buckets of warm water were placed near the bed, and soft cloths were soaked and wrung out.

As everything was finally prepared, Su Yan returned to Angelina's side and sat close beside her, gently wiping the sweat from her face.

A helper stood beside her, ready to assist.

Su Yan checked Angelina's pulse and looked at her stomach. "Everything's ready. Stay calm, everyone. We'll guide the baby out safely."

But as Su Yan placed her hand gently on Angelina's belly, a strange sensation pulsed through her fingertips.

Her eyes narrowed.

"Wait a minute... is this—spiritual energy?" she muttered in disbelief.

She looked down at Angelina again. "But... she's a magician. Magicians can cultivate, yes... but Angelina's never trained her body for it. She's never been a cultivator. Then why... why can I feel spiritual energy from her?"

Su Yan closed her eyes and focused, trying to sense it more clearly.

The aura wasn't faint—it was steady, almost rhythmic. She concentrated harder.

"Qi Gathering..." she whispered. "No... it's rising. Foundation Establishment... fifth level... ninth..."

Her breath caught.

Then suddenly—

Boom!

A wave of spiritual pressure exploded outward as a golden light burst from Angelina's belly. It illuminated the entire room like the heavens had cracked open.

Everyone in the room froze in shock.

"What in the world—?!" one of the helpers gasped, stumbling backward.

Su Yan's face went pale. "No... no, this isn't coming from Angelina..."

Her voice trembled. "It's coming from the baby."

Silence filled the room for a moment until her voice returned in a whisper.

"A baby... who hasn't even been born yet... just broke through to the Golden Core Realm."

She stared at the golden glow in awe and fear.

"What kind of monster is Angelina giving birth to...?"

She swallowed hard. "This child... he'll shake the entire world with his power and talent."

Everyone was waiting outside the guest room. The air was thick with worry.

Tian Zhen paced back and forth, his face tight with tension. He couldn't stop thinking about Angelina.

Xing Tian walked over to him and placed a firm hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry," he said calmly. "Everything will be fine. Su Yan is in there with her. If anyone can handle this, it's her. There's no need to panic."

Tian Zhen let out a small breath. His father's words helped a little... but the unease in his chest didn't disappear.

Then—suddenly—a golden light burst out from the guest room window, shining like the morning sun.

A wave of spiritual pressure followed, shaking the air.

Everyone's eyes widened in shock.

"That light...!"

"Is that—cultivation energy?!"

"Who just broke through?!"

People started murmuring, pointing at the glow radiating from the room.

Xing Tian stepped forward, staring at the light with a serious expression. "This spiritual energy... I've never sensed anything like it before."

"It's pure. Too pure. Like it came from the heavens themselves."

"Who could possibly have achieved such a breakthrough...?"

Then—creak—the guest room door slowly opened.

All eyes turned at once.
