Cells have a limited number of divisions.
Cultivating and extracting dragon blood from flesh in this manner would consume the vitality of the tissue.
The resulting impact was irreversible aging.
Furthermore, this cultivation consumed both time and energy.
Brock only had so much flesh on his body, and his own cells had a limit to their division.
Even if Dalun Li captured him to cultivate and extract dragon blood, the man would likely age rapidly and die before long.
“Can this trait be inherited?”
“Perhaps I could extract sperm, find an egg, and create an artificial womb to cultivate the fertilized egg...”
Dalun Li’s thoughts continued to wander.
No, no, that’s too twisted and inhumane.
As a dungeon, it was only natural for Dalun Li to kill adventurers; after all, they didn’t come as guests—they came to kill him.
However, the inhumane method of breeding human infants just to kill them was a bit too monstrous.
Besides, there was a high probability that it couldn’t be inherited.
Even the Forbidden Fire Stone couldn't detect the dragon bloodline within Brock, so it was very likely non-hereditary.
To utilize it further, he would have to improve Brock himself.
With the support of the Eternal Imprisonment Brain, these thoughts flashed through Dalun Li’s mind in a mere instant.
As for the extracted dragon blood...
“How should I use it?”
Dalun Li wanted to create a dragon for the Well of Eternal Imprisonment—a true dragon.
He could then combine it with other materials to create a dragon as a guardian.
How could the Well of Eternal Imprisonment dungeon lack the most powerful legendary life form of this magical world?
Creating a dragon solely from this blood was a joke, however.
Dragons were powerful not only because of their physical bodies; they also possessed a dragon inheritance.
A dragon newly hatched from a dragon egg would inherit a vast amount of knowledge and its dragon true name.
This knowledge included dragon magic, the application of dragon power, common knowledge of the magical world, extraordinary knowledge, and more.
“Well... there’s no need to worry about that.”
Dalun Li thought of the current guardians of the Well of Eternal Imprisonment.
These guardians seemed to have the same setup as dragons; they received a true name, knowledge, and methods of using their power the moment they were born.
“Right, regarding the matter of the purple dragon, I can go ask that old fossil.”
Dalun Li suddenly thought of a certain prisoner.
As an evil god, Withered Reincarnation possessed a breadth of knowledge far beyond his own.
As a prisoner, that knowledge was just sitting there doing nothing, so what was the harm in making it useful?
Dammit, the thinking speed of the Eternal Imprisonment Brain was so fast that he had nearly forgotten this detail.
Dalun Li quickly shifted his focus to the prison.
At this moment, Withered Reincarnation was still serving as fuel for the Forbidden Fire, burning endlessly.
The Forbidden Fire generated from this burning was extracted by Dalun Li and added to the Automated Forbidden Fire Merger to strengthen the flame and accelerate the fusion.
Withered Reincarnation was immortal and indestructible, his life capable of constant reincarnation.
Therefore, he could burn without end.
Dalun Li felt like the god could be thrown into a pool to boil water as an eternal power source.
“Do you know of a purple dragon? A purple dragon with massive mana?”
Dalun Li didn't stand on ceremony and asked as soon as he arrived.
He already had Withered Reincarnation completely under his thumb, and it didn't take long for the god to spill everything.
“Krimnir, the Magic Dragon. He once devoured an eighth of the material world from the chaotic space and gnawed on the Root of the World Tree, an ultra-large dungeon.”
“He possessed the most massive mana in the world. He was eventually eliminated by the combined efforts of the Orthodox Gods and was forged into the World Foundation along with other evil gods to fill the world fissures.”
Dalun Li never expected to receive such an answer.
Krimnir—Dalun Li had heard stories of this evil god.
But the stories never described Krimnir as a dragon.
They only spoke of a greedy gnawer, a world-devourer, a massive and terrifying monster.
“Are you sure it’s Krimnir? Are there no other purple dragons in this world?”
“Only one purple dragon has ever appeared in this world, and that is the monster Krimnir.”
“Perhaps the dragon race gave birth to purple dragons later on, but any dragon that saw a purple dragon crawl out of its egg would surely bite it to death.”
“That is a monster that even dragons fear. A purple dragon is a taboo among dragons.”
Yet another evil god.
He really seemed to have a destiny with evil gods.
Or perhaps his special dungeon naturally attracted them?
However, even if Krimnir was incredibly powerful and evil, there was no reason for others to be so repulsed and disgusted by him.
Dalun Li had never heard of the existence of a Dragon God.
Withered Reincarnation soon answered Dalun Li’s confusion.
A Dragon God indeed did not exist.
However, the God of the Foundry, the Harvest God, and the War God were all dragons.
They simply appeared in the world in human form.
Even among the evil gods forged into the World Foundation, many were dragons.
Among the currently existing evil gods, there were also several dragons.
Three of the four Orthodox Gods of the material world were dragons.
Under such circumstances, how could a Dragon God exist?
Who would dare call themselves the Dragon God, placing themselves above the three Orthodox Gods and claiming to be the god of gods?
Dalun Li was shocked.
The vast majority of adventurers, even the most devout believers of the Orthodox Gods, were unaware of this information.
They only knew that the gods existed; how could they know what species the gods actually were?
Merely wondering what race a god belonged to was considered a form of blasphemy.
Only evil gods possessed such intelligence, being able to almost look the Orthodox Gods in the eye.
Dragons were the strongest life forms in this magical world, legendary creatures.
Dalun Li finally understood the weight of that title.
One could say that almost the entire magical world was ruled by dragons.
It was only because their numbers were extremely scarce that the human world was governed by various intelligent races like humans, orcs, and elves.
These intelligent races were essentially proxies for the dragons ruling the magical world.
Wait a second, it seemed one of the four Orthodox Gods was missing.
“What about the Goddess of Light? Is the Goddess of Light a dragon as well?”
This time, Dalun Li finally hit a blind spot in Withered Reincarnation’s knowledge.
“I don’t know.”
The Goddess of Light—even an evil god like Withered Reincarnation didn't know what species she actually was.
“You say you don’t know?”
Dalun Li’s tone turned unfriendly.
This fellow was still not telling the truth even now. He couldn't fully trust how much of what was said just now was true.
Forbidden Fire, burn him harder!
“I don’t know! I really don’t know!”
Ignoring the pleas, Dalun Li continued the burning.
“Fine, fine, fine! I know! I know! The Goddess of Light is also a dragon! She’s also a dragon!”
“If you knew, why didn't you say so earlier? Are you lying to me again? Forbidden Fire, burn!”
Withered Reincarnation died through several more cycles. One moment he said the Goddess of Light was a human, the next a dragon, and then an elf.
Dalun Li confirmed it—this old fossil really didn't know.
Utterly useless.
Having finished his interrogation, Dalun Li checked the accumulation of Earth Vein Power. It would still take a few days to create a new floor.
Well... time to go back to watching the adventurers' grand adventure.
The Lava Lake battle royale was about to begin.
