Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 206 Alvak and a Way Out

Some answers have always been right beside us.

"Alvark. Indeed, the kingdom's oldest monarch was an evolved form of this lineage."

Biological evolution and species development have always been the biggest secrets of various extraordinary individuals, with many even requiring cultivation based on ethnicity and bloodline.

However, some are so famous that everyone knows them, and you can find out about them with just a little inquiry.

"Lex and Lena are both on this line."

When Rean first saw Lex's portrait at Suliman's house, he heard Suliman mention the legend of the hero Lex.

His sword strikes are like the sun in the night sky, capable of illuminating the entire battlefield like a super lighthouse.

Lena's scorching hair, which resembled the sun before she degenerated, also originated from this.

After all, "Alwak" means the fiery lion of the sun god!

In fact, Rean himself had benefited from this path.

The Silver-tier material Lion King's Tear (Sun) has been confirmed; the Silver-tier material Dragon Soul (Volcano) has been confirmed; Dragon-attribute materials are being disassembled and fused; and Sun-attribute (Fire) materials are being fused.

That was after a fierce battle with the Holy Mother, when Rean completed his evolution through the Dragon's Rest.

The Volcanic Dragon Soul comes from the head of that slave market, and the even rarer "Lion King's Tear (Sun)" is the result of Lena's degeneration.

During the evolutionary period of Dragon's Rest, Rean instinctively fused with these materials, activating his "Flame," "Sun," and "Red Dragon" attributes, which led to his subsequent development.

He awakened SOL (Divine Sun), the foundation of the soul/concept, which comes from Lana's material, Lion King's Tears (Sun), the material basis.

"It seems like this path is blocked for me. Even if I consume these materials, it will only enhance my red dragon bloodline and perhaps increase the power of SOL magic to some extent. But that's not enough."

Rean used the power derived from "Alvark" to dispel the owl's shadow, which seemed to prove that "Alvark" could indeed restrain the King of the Night to a certain extent.

However, the "Fiery Lion of the Sun God" is not a path Rean can take. His red dragon bloodline and the Lion of the Sun are both fire-attribute, making them even less compatible.

Rean sorted through the material bags; there were still several pieces of "suspected solar material" that had been broken down during Lena's degeneration.

Among them are the scorching tail, the golden claws (the sun), and the light-absorbing material, which should be the core materials in this path.

However, this is clearly incomplete and insufficient to breed another "Alwak" according to the conventions of degenerate species.
"It's too late." Rean sighed as he looked at Lana, who was excitedly practicing her sword early in the morning.

Because of her degenerate nature, she can no longer follow the "Alvak" path.

So, where can Alwak be found?
“If possible, Dania, I expect you to transfer all the royal Alvak here.”

Only royalty has the motivation and funds to cultivate this potential fighting force.

"Huh?" Dania tilted her head, a question mark seemingly appearing above her head, but her pupils seemed to say, "Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that?"

Rean sighed and glanced around. There was only Sallyman and the guards he had seen several times before.

"Your Highness, last night, in a dream, I saw your aunt. It was someone who appeared to be a manifestation of your aunt."

Rean slowly and meticulously recounted a series of events, including "the owl," "the white lion," and "the ancestor's slaying of the giant owl to establish the nation," after careful selection.

At first, Dania listened to the joke with an air of "you know more about royalty than I do," but then her expression grew increasingly unpleasant as she listened.

"I really have an aunt?!" Is the rumor true? Is the rumor about the "eldest princess" also true?! Am I really the second princess? Dania's face turned a little pale.

"Uh, should we start proving this from here?" Rean was also a little surprised. "Are you really the sole heir to the throne? You didn't even know this?" Rean didn't mention too many other trivial matters; there was no need for him to bring up such sordid things as Lex's affair with the Queen's sister.

He only mentioned that it might be a member of the royal family bewitched by a "beast" who was about to come and cause trouble, and that it possessed the abilities of a ferocious beast, an owl, and could even control dreams and the night.

“Three of them. There are three more Alvak candidates now. I will transfer them all over.” Dania rubbed her temples. Now was not the time to think about such things. She would consider her own affairs after this crisis was over.

"Uh, you believe that?"

"Didn't you say that?" Dania sighed; she was numb too.

There were already so many problems, and now another big trouble has arisen, one that is completely unavoidable.

Perhaps, I need to complete my deal with Mirror Girl as soon as possible; I do need the power of these voters.

She waved to Rean, signaling him to go about his business, but just as Rean was about to leave, she gritted her teeth and added a sentence.

“Those three are all candidates for Sister Lena, and their strength is not enough. The kingdom’s strongest Alvak will be here soon, and I will talk to her about it.”

Who is she? Is there another potential hero in the kingdom?
"My mother." The strongest Alvak is, of course, Her Majesty the Queen.

In reality, the Queen reluctantly turned to this path, but as the "owner of the royal power," she had no choice.

Rean froze; he could feel the card on his chest throbbing, seemingly excited.
"Fear? Uh, you know what fear is?"

Rean was also numb. Lex was already dead. Could his small body really bear the consequences?

If the sisters fight, am I, the bystander, the one who won't die?

"Uh, irrelevant? You, irrelevant? Ha, really irrelevant? There is only one Thousand-Faced Dragon. Don't fool yourself. Lex is completely dead. You are his reincarnation, Lex who has lost his memory."

Rean completely ignored the snake's words.

But the snake was already laughing at him. He saw that Rean's "self-deception" wouldn't last long; something was destined to surface.

"What are you laughing at? It's shameful! As the holder of the power of the heart, you actually let a junior invade your dream!" Rean immediately brought up the past. "You pulled me into the dream yesterday, and as a result, I was targeted by the enemy. It's all your fault!"
"Me? Ha, it's still your fault. That girl is hard to observe; her fate is out of control. It's all your fault!"

Uh, is it Lex's fault again?
"Not only that, there are also the descendants of the Thousand-Faced Dragon," the snake sighed, there were some things he couldn't say too clearly.

To achieve its goal, the Thousand-Faced Dragon must continuously reincarnate and sow its "seeds," including the fateful changes brought about by various heroic figures, as well as the dragon descendants.

Intangible things like consciousness, thoughts, and foundations change with the times, and genes and ethnicity are also very important key nodes. The reincarnation of the Thousand-Faced Dragon will instinctively value "descendants," which is also one of the instincts written into the genes.

They are descendants of the Thousand-Faced Dragon, possessing an innate nature to resist fate and create the future; they will gradually change this terrible world.

If fate is destined to bring destruction, if humanity is gradually eroded by bestiality, if darkness is destined to cover the light, their bloodline will give them the possibility of resisting desperate situations.

The more they yearn for humanity, the more they need power, and this bloodline will respond to their cries.

However, this potential power to "create the future" ironically became the tool for the owl girl to break free from her restrictions, which is quite intriguing.

"Anyway, live well. Oh, right, I'm leaving now. I'll keep my promise tomorrow."

Rean froze instantly. It might not be a good thing for the snake to leave now, and could he please not come to the appointment for tomorrow?
"To help you survive, I'll show you a way. She can help you master some of Alvak's power, which will become your weapon against the giant owl."

The snake felt a little helpless, as if it had lost money, but when it thought about the "sisterly fight" that Rean was about to encounter, it felt satisfied.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you had already chosen the path of death, but I can't let you really die now. Let me tell you the only way to live."
