In the pitch-black void, there was no direction, no concept of time, only emptiness and a chaotic mist of unknown color. A dim ball of light struggled to break through a cloud of mist, trembling and dimming with each effort. Just then, a large expanse of mist parted ahead, revealing an enormous, iridescent sphere of light. From the outside, it looked like a giant soap bubble, its outer layers shimmering, completely obscuring what lay within.

The small ball of light immediately changed direction and flew towards it. At first glance, it seemed close, but in reality, it flew for a long time without appearing to shorten the distance. Suddenly, the small ball of light emitted a dazzling glow. Then, like a shooting star, it began to accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again, its speed increasing tenfold. Only when the small ball of light reached its destination did it realize that this large bubble was like a gigantic mountain range, while it was merely a tiny speck of dust. The small ball of light crashed headfirst into the iridescent, crystalline outer wall but failed to penetrate it, remaining stuck there. Then, as if it were a burning candle, it melted and gradually seeped into the crystalline wall before finally disappearing.

In the 275th year of Aegon's Conquest, on the shore of a boundless sea, lay a sizable island. A brilliant shooting star streaked across the sky, illuminating the darkness before dawn, and also lighting up a castle by the sea. The banner atop the castle bore a red crab scattered on a white background.

In a dark room at the bottom of the castle, a woman's painful cries echoed. Three disheveled, worn-out middle-aged women were bustling about. A black-haired woman was in labor, experiencing a difficult and prolonged delivery, leaving her incredibly weak.

At the moment the shooting star flashed across the sky, accompanied by the woman's piercing scream, "It's born! It's born! It's a boy!" One of the women held a baby covered in blood and mucus, while another brought a basin of water. Together, they washed the infant. The water in the basin was already somewhat cold, causing the tiny baby to shiver. He vigorously moved his limbs and slowly opened his eyes. His small mouth opened, and he let out a clear cry: "Wah!"

The middle-aged woman brought the baby to the woman who had just given birth, saying, "Vina, look at your child. He's such a healthy little one. Look, he has purple eyes. He's a 'dragonseed'!"

Soon, in the master bedroom on the upper floor of the castle, Lord Adrian Celtigar of Crab Isle lazily dressed. The steward came to report outside the door: "Lord Celtigar, we have investigated. The light just now was a shooting star. According to the kennel servants, the shooting star disappeared before it even landed."

Lord Adrian Celtigar put on his shoes with some effort and stomped his feet on the ground a few times. "Seven hells! This damn weather. My leather boots are damp again. Balon, did it cause any damage to the castle?"

The steward Balon respectfully said, "The shooting star did not cause any damage. However, Lord, something else happened in the castle last night."

Adrian asked, "What happened?"

Balon lowered his head and said, "Just now, Leia from the kitchen reported that your handmaiden, Vina, gave birth to a boy, and he's a 'dragonseed'. He has very distinct silver-gold hair and purple eyes. I don't know what you plan to do, Lord."

Adrian hesitated, "Vina? The black-haired woman from Crackclaw Point, right? I didn't expect it. It's been over a hundred years since the Celtigar family has seen a child born with such obvious Valyrian features. Too bad it's a bastard. Balon, send some extra meat over there to ensure she gets enough nutrition. Otherwise, handle it as usual." According to local customs and laws, bastards are not recognized and do not enjoy any rights. Noble ladies can even dispose of their husbands' bastards at will.

In a hazy consciousness, Liu Yuan suddenly felt a burst of icy stimulation. He instinctively shivered a few times, trying to break free from this feeling of helplessness. He slowly opened his eyes, but everything was still blurry and unclear. However, the cold sensation on his body reminded him that someone was constantly splashing water on him, and the water was quite cold.

He tried hard to distinguish the outlines in front of him, and they gradually became clearer, but it still looked like looking through frosted glass. He could roughly make out that there was a woman in front of him. He wanted to ask a question, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he let out an infant's cry.

What the hell is going on? Before he could figure it out, he felt dizzy, and then he fell into a deep sleep. He didn't know how much time had passed, but he gradually woke up again. When he opened his eyes again, everything was still blurry, but it was much clearer than before. He was placed next to a woman, and an indescribable smell rushed into his nostrils. He could imagine that these two people hadn't bathed in a long time.

As his consciousness returned, he seemed to understand his current situation. He had transmigrated again, and this time it was even more thorough. He had directly become a newborn baby. He quickly accepted it, after all, it wasn't his first time transmigrating.

Although he was an old guy with a psychological age of over a hundred years, he was still a little embarrassed to suddenly become a baby. He couldn't help but let out a baby's cry: "Waa T﹏T waa!"

When the women saw him wake up, they exchanged a few words in a language he didn't understand. Then Liu Yuan was held in their arms, and the woman's warm breasts were brought to him. She even touched his little face and pushed him closer. At this moment, Liu Yuan had only one thought in his mind: Should I eat it or not?

Before he could consider it for long, the feeling of exhaustion that came from his soul surged up again. He quickly realized that a baby's brain simply couldn't handle a soul like his. Even simple thinking consumed a lot of the baby's energy. If he didn't replenish it, he would probably die young.

In order to survive, I'll endure it... He opened his mouth and "ah-woo!" He bit down on the nipple and sucked hard. The milk mixed with sweat, with a fishy and salty taste, flowed down his throat and into his body, relieving the burning sensation in his stomach. Then he fell asleep again, but his body still instinctively sucked on his mother's milk.

In a way that was difficult for the naked eye to observe, Liu Yuan's infant body was surrounded by a milky white light, constantly absorbing light spots from the outside world and integrating them into his body.

These unknown elements were slowly improving the baby's body.
