Chapter 1488 More Gambling.

He has spent most of the time in the egg within this mental space. It appears to him as a large, dark, and empty world filled with stars of various colors and sizes.

The stars are the imprints of every dragon that passed the naming ceremony and was given a name by the dragon spirit. They are all connected by an invisible spiritual entity, which makes the bloodline space look like a river of stars.

He has been going upstream of this river, looking for the special talents that he needs. It is a good use of his time. The alternative is to hatch now, but he can't do that.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

As he is currently, he ought to have hatched 50 thousand years ago. Normal dragon eggs spend ten thousand years in the egg, but he has already spent six times that amount of time in the egg. His littermates have grown up and have left the cave. Even his mother has forgotten about him.

The delay is partly because he is greedy for more talents and partly because the alternative is not palatable. Because of this unpalatable alternative, he can't hatch yet, even if he wants to. His hatching will create too much commotion, which will bring him a lot of problems with the dragons.

The issue is that he is not fully gestated. His inner world is much too powerful. A single dragon egg is not enough to make him gestate completely. This is because he is far from being a normal dragon.

He originally needed an Origin cycle for his inner world to take shape since he had to rely on the trickle of mana and Origin energy in the atmosphere to develop. Fortunately, he is not alone. The supply of mana, origin energy, and divine life energy from Legion reduced that time to 30,000 years. But that has not removed the requirement for a fragment of a world for him to complete his gestation, so he still can't hatch 30,000 years later.

Soverick was able to advise Aeternus not to go after all the demons in the abyss to harvest their marks of sin and use to upgrade his because he saw that they would attract a powerful being in the process.

They are not sure who that powerful being is but they suspect that it would be the realm lord, as the realm lord has a vested interest in the abyss for the era of conquest.

But despite this uncertainty about the source of danger, Aeternus has surely avoided the danger. He can't have that luxury in the bloodline space. So he would be going in blind and might stumble into a world god if he continues hunting for talents.

He gritted his teeth mentally and said, "There's just one more talent that I need. I will stop when I get that talent."

He is like a gambler now. He doesn't know which of the stars has the talents he needs, so he has to try them all. If he is lucky, then the next trial will give him the talent of creation that he needs. If he is unlucky, then it might take a hundred or a thousand more trials.

"The talent of creation is very rare in dragons, so it will probably take another hundred thousand trials to find it. I don't have anywhere to be, so there is no problem with time. The problem is with world gods."

He made up his mind and resumed taking the trials. He can't give up now after working so hard. He already has the talents of fire, air, water, earth, space, time, light, darkness, life, death, lightning, and destruction. What he needs now is creation to complete his inner world. Then he will achieve something that every dragon kind has been looking forward to. He would have the potential to match the dragon king. There is no way he will give that up when he is so close.
