The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 97: The Road to Godhood × The Root of the Way√

"That belongs to the Black Emperor...!"

When Norton saw the flesh and blood of the Black King Nidhogg with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be surprised.

This kind of thing would probably be regarded as a treasure by humans, and a hope for studying how to kill the Black King. Dragons would generally be more afraid of the Black King's existence, because the return of the Black King Nidhogg is the supreme destiny that no one can resist.

"Well, you can call it the Black King's flesh and blood, or you can call it 'eggs', there's not much difference." Lu Mingze's tone was as if he was chatting with them like a friend, and he spoke of the Black King's flesh and blood in the same tone as if he was talking about what to eat for dinner today.

"The Black Emperor's physical abilities are beyond ordinary imagination. To Him, a drop of blood or a piece of flesh is equivalent to His egg. He is omnipotent and almighty, the supreme 'God'."

"I think that in your eyes, Heroic Spirit No. 1 Melyusina seems to be perfect enough, but is it really so?"

Lu Mingze flicked his fingers lightly, and under the vigilant gaze of the two Dragon Kings, he delivered the box right next to Melusina's coffin.

Then, the little devil uttered words that even Norton found surprising - that was the information that Emiya had only revealed to him before -

"The existence of Heroic Spirits is permanently recorded on a higher-dimensional seat called the Seat of Heroic Spirits. The way these Heroic Spirits exist is as a recording tape, similar to data and intelligence."

"The recording tape is essentially a collection of information about the real person, myths and legends, and later impressions of a 'hero's true name'."

"So the official name of the Heroic Spirit is also called 'Ghostliner'."

As if seeing Norton's surprise, Lu Mingze shook his finger.

"Don't be too surprised, and don't ask too many questions. I'm just a better observer than you... Yesterday, today, or tomorrow are all parallel phenomena that I can observe equally. I can see the truth of the world through the four-dimensional space. The flow of time is equivalent to illusion to me."

Lu Mingze didn't need to know these things from Emiya like Norton did. His status was completely different from those monarchs and he was a more advanced observer.

"Oh... If you can do what I did one day, then you don't have to cling to your first-generation 'crown' and you can call yourself a true 'god'."

This is the true path to becoming a god.

Lu Mingze's words are self-evident. To humans, the Dragon King can be said to be a god, but to these Dragon Kings, the Black Emperor born from the world itself, the strongest observer in the four-dimensional field, is the real god.

Lu Mingze has the qualifications to ascend to the throne of the Black King. This supreme position is the real "God's throne".

"..."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was met with deafening silence from the two Dragon Kings.

Xia Mi began to feel confused and overwhelmed by this profound realm. She had the illusion that others were swimming in the ocean of knowledge while she was about to drown.

Norton nodded thoughtfully.

Sure enough, the higher-level path is equivalent to a high-dimensional observer who can see the truth of the world. This is similar to the multiverse theory and observer theory envisioned by the human scientific system.

His own "high-speed calculation" can also predict the future, but he cannot do it as casually as Lu Mingze.

However, Norton had long given up the method of devouring his own kind to get closer to the throne. He had his own pride... that is, he was determined to reach the point of "technical godhood" through continuous improvement of alchemy.

Dragon Alchemy is also a means of observing the higher-dimensional universe. Its advantage is that it is not restricted by bloodline. All it lacks is talent, inspiration, and hard work.

Norton, a hardcore technology fanatic, confirmed satisfactory information from Lu Mingze's suggestions, and his hostility towards him gradually eased.

"That's a very helpful insight. So, the flaws in the Throne of Heroes that you want to talk about seem to be related to this aspect?"

"Bingo!"

Lu Mingze snapped his fingers, and the dark, noble, and ultimate aura in the box with the prosperous world tree sign became more and more active, pulsating with dangerous fluctuations.

He himself looked normal, because he and the Black King were equal, but Norton and Xia Mi had already developed a premonition of danger and were unconsciously frightened...

That's the dead memory attacking...

To be precise, it was the terrifying memory of the black emperor's supreme majesty that subjugated everyone countless years ago.

"Norton, Lord of Bronze and Fire, I know, or rather, I have observed, the plan you made for the Throne of Heroes. It is nothing more than building a Nibelungen named 'Thone of Heroes' in another hidden form. It cannot be called a high-dimensional record tape at all."

"You stored the inventory of Heroic Spirits in Nibelungen. However, because the work of collecting Heroic Spirits and storing and uploading them is arduous and massive, the concealment of your so-called 'Seat of Heroes' Nibelungen has been greatly reduced."

Lu Mingze pointed to the fleet of the dead army approaching in the distance, "And in the future, we will also face such a dilemma."

Norton frowned: "Nibelungen itself was invaded?"

"Yes, you seem to think that setting up the Throne of Heroes to only allow the Nibelungen to allow the holders of the key and the mark to pass through is foolproof. Little do you know that as long as the existence of the Servant is understood, your kind can also attach the mark to the summoned external Servants."

"In other words, as long as your Servant cancels its presence in the outside world, the summoning of the Servant's spirit is cancelled and it returns to its original Heroic Spirit form. Then, the mark attached to the spirit will also invade your Heroic Spirit database. As long as the other party is slightly prepared, it is not difficult to modify your Heroic Spirit records..."

Lu Mingze spoke eloquently, refuting Norton's "Heroes' Throne" from various angles, as it was still in the experimental plan stage.

"If I understand correctly, you have a perfect plan for the Throne of Heroes that is less vulnerable to intrusion?"

Norton thought of Lu Mingze's previous talk about the "high-dimensional universe" and subconsciously doubted, "Can we really build the Throne of Heroes? Is this possible?"

Or... this guy's "high-dimensional observation" ability is not just limited to observation, he can also interfere with the high-dimensional world to a certain extent! ?

Lu Mingze did not comment. "Generally speaking, this cannot be achieved without paying an equal price. The law of alchemy does not accept unequal exchanges."

Therefore, he needs to use the Black King's flesh and blood in this box as a basis.

Otherwise, would he be allowed to merge with his brother Lu Mingfei to bear the cost? Don't even think about it.

The Black King's flesh and blood had already spread out a steaming mist, with a terrifying blood light shining from it. The dangerous illusion seemed to be invading reality. Even people without any bloodline could see the horrifying scene of the Black King Nidhoggr roaring to the sky in a second, and then be completely frightened to death.

"Watch out! I will use this as a price to open a limited passage to the 'World Tree', the origin system tree of dragons, humans, and even all things*. I will use the 'Greater Holy Grail' (Frigga Zero) you have chosen as the key to achieve this connection."

(*This is a secondary setting. The World Tree refers to the highest level of the dragon world, the origin of the planet that gave birth to the Black King. It is similar to the fact that the apostles and humans in "Neon Genesis Evangelion" all originated from the Tree of Life. The Black King corresponds to the first apostle Adam.) Lu Mingze calmed the restless black flesh with a light touch. He silently recited the low dragon language - the sound was not small but it was unclear, like countless words superimposed on each other and sounded at the same time, and even Norton and Xia Mi could not understand the content.

But a hidden fact has been quietly revealed: Lu Mingze, who was born from the World Tree, knows the method of connecting to the World Tree. The Black King's Throne on the World Tree is the throne of the true God and the end point of the road to deification.

…At this moment, the dark flesh and blood in the box rose into the air, and first a stream of blood shot out, penetrating the crystal coffin and entering Frigga Zero's body.

The awakened soul of the White King was interfered with by the souls from the outside world. The silent screams of pain, weak state and strong seal made the White King like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

But it was like the mark of the key had been completely sewn into the spirit and could not be removed.

Afterwards, the Black King's flesh and blood sizzled, and it let out terrifying howls of fury. It had a premonition of its own future, and was burning with a rage like the Black King himself - no one or dragon had ever dared to use the Black Emperor as a sacrifice for alchemy!

Just a piece of the Black King's flesh and blood caused the resonance of the elements of heaven and earth. It was like a complete and conscious egg, causing a small-scale terrifying vision - the viaduct deck shook and broke instantly, a storm began to form in the gray sky, and huge waves surged up on the calm water.

But Lu Mingze finally put an end to its continued struggle—he stretched out one hand, pinched the madly restless flesh and blood, and curbed all the strange phenomena.

The next moment, under Norton's close gaze, the flesh and blood in Lu Mingze's hand seemed to be reversing time, constantly shrinking and becoming juvenile, as if it had really returned to the "mother's womb"...

Norton knew that the so-called womb was the world tree, the system tree of the earth itself, which was the source of the birth of the Black King.

The whole process lasted dozens of seconds.

Norton was very excited while Xia Mi looked confused.

"Success!"

Finally, after a while, Xia Mi heard their cheers. Success? How did they succeed?
What on earth is going on? Isn't it the Throne of Heroes? Where did it go? She can't see it!

Norton said that this is the return to the world tree, and this process is returning to the world itself...

But Xia Mi's mind was almost in chaos. She felt like someone had interfered with her for no reason and her good mood was ruined.

Because I am like a workplace trash who can only make third-rate PPTs and cannot understand technical documents. I can only rely on projects set up by big guys who are engaged in independent technical research and development to make a living.

But suddenly one day, a top-level boss with even more impressive technical skills, as well as the ability to propose, resource advantages, and execution, came in person and forcibly joined their project to cooperate with the previous boss, not only stealing her job, but also completely erasing her original sense of existence.

Xia Mi: "..." So can you let me feel a little more involved? The Throne of Heroes is now available, and I suspect that I am almost useless.

Then she saw Lu Mingze walk up to Melyuchina and collect the remaining bloodstains and debris from the box next to him, letting the already sleeping Melyuchina open her mouth to swallow them. At the same time, he said:
"With the Emperor's blood, I grant you a new life."

Melyuchina's expression was ferocious for a moment, then suddenly became relaxed, the fierce power of the Black King glowed within her body and soul, gradually turning into tranquility flowing within her, as if she was born with dignity and majesty.

That is... the gift of blood!
Xia Mi knew clearly that the Gift of Blood could enhance an object's bloodline out of thin air.

Even though Melyuchina was fed two mouthfuls of the Black King's blood, Deadpool is still Deadpool after all. Even if the dragon genes in the dragon-form Deadpool's body account for an exaggerated 99%, the 1% human genes are still an insurmountable chasm. Deadpool is such a tragic middle form.

In addition, many strange dragon subspecies evolved through contact with dragon blood, but it was obviously impossible to evolve pure-blooded dragon species in large quantities.

But the Gift of Blood is different.

It can improve an object's bloodline out of thin air, even from a mixed-blood to a pure-blooded dragon.

Because this ability is exclusive to the Black King... no, it is an exclusive ability only for the "three" born from the World Tree, not even the White King can do it.

Therefore, when Xia Mi saw that Melusina was transformed from a dragon-shaped deadpool into a noble descendant of the Black King by Lu Mingze's words - Xia Mi judged that her bloodline was at least at the level of a third-generation ancient dragon.

Then the little bit of Black King's flesh and blood that had just been devoured began to take effect. Her bloodline and soul were further optimized and jumped... Second generation, first generation... Hey, hey, this crown is almost on the same level as their Dragon King! ?
"Okay, the construction of the Throne of Heroes has been completed, and by the way, it also comes with a basic numerical optimization service for Heroic Spirit No. 1. However, the current record tape is empty. If you want to inspect it, you have to upload the spirit information and hold the summoning ceremony yourself."

Lu Mingze clapped his hands and dusted off the dust, as if he had done something insignificant.

"Anyway, the only 'key' - the Greater Holy Grail is in your hands. As long as this thing is not lost, invading the Throne of Heroes to modify the records is almost a delusion."

"Because this is not Nibelung. Interfering with the World Tree is as difficult as shaking and rewriting the world itself. It is far beyond the reach of ordinary power."

"Well, this service ends here. If you have time, please remember to give me a good review."

Lu Mingze was actually ready to turn around and leave in such a frank manner, without asking Norton and Xia Mi to do anything, which was far beyond the latter's expectations.

After realizing something was wrong, Norton stopped the other party at this moment: "Why did you choose to cooperate with us... No, why did you help us for free?"

　The World Tree has a small secondary design. This thing has almost no original design. This is the only way to write about the World Tree in Dragon Clan fan fiction...

　　----

　　About Lu Mingze, the high-dimensional universe observer, this passage comes from the original text of Dragon Clan

　　Dragon King 1:
　　“For creatures living in three-dimensional space, time is an axis along which events are arranged in sequence. But if your insight can penetrate four-dimensional space, you will find that yesterday, today and tomorrow are actually written in the same book. These events exist side by side. Which events appear depends on which page you turn to.

　　If you become more perceptive, you realize that there are many, many books like this lying side by side, and when you open different books, the world will appear differently to you.”

　　Lu Mingze said, "To be precise, I did not modify history, but I chose a historical fork that was beneficial to you."

　　"When the observer's insight is strong enough, he can see through different world lines. Didn't I tell you that?

　　For a top observer living in a four-dimensional universe, history is like a bookshelf made up of many books. Time is just the pages that he turns over with his fingers. Yesterday, today and tomorrow coexist before his eyes. The beginning and the end are clear to him at a glance.

　　Lu Mingze said dimly, "Your insight is not that strong, but I have also told you that you are part of the 'absolute reality' of this world, and your consciousness is the ballast stone that keeps the world running smoothly."
