Ashan had a high opinion of Isaac because he saw a glimmer of hope for the future in Isaac's dragon transformation elixir!
Although it's only a slim possibility, Isaac was only a formal wizard when he developed this, so what if there's a solution later?
Who can tell?
Asia has been making similar investments for many years; they're just acts of kindness and don't even cost any money.
Isaac snapped out of his daze, composed himself, and then walked to the giant dragon egg. He placed his hand on the egg, squinted his eyes, and carefully sensed the life force within.
Although there was more detailed data on the dragon egg nearby, it wasn't suitable for Isaac, at least not for him right now, because he didn't recognize half of the facilities in the laboratory, and for the other half, he only vaguely recognized them...
With two big shots in front of him, he naturally wanted to show off his skills; there was no reason for him to dabble in something he wasn't good at.
A moment later, Isaac released his grip in surprise, a hint of shock in his eyes. Could magic really do this?
“Interesting. Looks like you’ve got some skills. Come on, tell me what you saw.” Clott, standing to the side, crossed his arms and squeezed his large frame until it shook.
“Yes.” Isaac pondered for a moment, organizing his thoughts, “This was created directly using magic… I won’t explain this step, because I don’t understand it; it’s beyond my knowledge.”
As he spoke, Isaac's face showed a helpless expression. His actual skill level was currently limited to magical modification. Using magic to directly create a life form... and such a powerful one at that, was truly beyond his comprehension.
Liuli is an exception; it possesses a unique power belonging to legendary wizards. Moreover, strictly speaking, Liuli's birth is thanks to the countless flesh and blood beings; in a sense, Liuli is a child conceived jointly by the two of them.
Asan and Klot smiled slightly and said nothing; they hadn't thought Isaac could understand this anyway.
“Tell me about this dragon egg… Incredible!” Isaac turned around and looked up at the dragon egg, his face full of shock. “The dragon blood in the egg is extremely pure, you could even say it’s too pure! Purifying dragon blood from a new life is indeed a brilliant idea. What’s most amazing is that this life is born as a third-order adult, and it seems to have a very good learning ability!”
But the most powerful thing is the special power deep inside, which seems to be able to transform into other bloodlines…
As he finished speaking, Isaac's voice trailed off, and he turned to look at the two of them.
Ashan and Klot were genuinely shocked this time. They hadn't expected that Isaac would see through the Dragon Queen's secrets in such a simple way, although this was also related to the fact that they had deliberately activated the pheromones of the dragon egg.
But this is enough to show that Isaac's talent is indeed quite good. You have to know that he is only a newly promoted Grand Wizard!
“You’re very good. Welcome to the Dragon Blood Purification Research Project.” Yashan smiled slightly and extended his right hand to Isaac.
"Dragon blood purification?" Isaac looked at the dragon egg behind him with some doubt. You built such a big thing and you're telling me it's for dragon blood purification?
“Hehe~” Klot chuckled, “Dragon blood purification is indeed the topic we applied for, and it’s also the key target that our project team is currently working on. However, a small accident happened in the middle, so we temporarily added some requirements to the topic. This is something that only core members can know.”
"Adding requirements... I understand... Hmm?" Isaac nodded knowingly at first, then looked up in surprise at Klot, pointing to himself, "Core member, me?"
“That’s right, Isaac Solomon. Let me be clear, you are now a core member of our Dragonblood Project team. Currently, there are only three core members like you who are only Grand Wizards; the rest are all high-level wizards or above.” Seeing Isaac’s bewildered look, Klot smiled.
Isaac scratched his head, feeling a sense of unreality. Core members! The threshold for this was high-level wizards!
He had only thought about exchanging the Dragon Transformation Elixir for a regular member position; he never even dared to dream of becoming a core member. But he actually became a core member directly.
what is the benefit?
Isaac stopped himself from asking the question and instead asked, "A core member... am I good enough? I don't have much knowledge."
"That's basically enough. Like most mad witches, you have an outstanding talent for ritual magic. From a ritual perspective, the magical world you see is different from ours, which is helpful to us. Moreover, your dragonification elixir is very good. Although it still has many shortcomings, it is already on the right track and may have the opportunity to lead us to complete the task of dragon blood purification."
Yashan explained, then asked, "What, you don't want to join?"
"No! I'll join!" Isaac exclaimed excitedly after confirming that he was indeed not a mascot!
“Very well, then take out your spellbook, and I’ll add you to the group.” Clott drew a colorful symbol on Isaac’s spellbook and then tossed it to Isaac.
"The relevant permissions are listed. Go back and check them yourself first. The approval of the relevant resources will take some time. Go back and make preparations. We will be holding a meeting about your Dragon Transformation Elixir in a while. You need to be prepared."
“Yes!” Isaac nodded emphatically.
“Alright, you can go back now. Your current state isn’t suitable for learning anything. The project team’s internal library and spells are shared, so you can read them as you please, just don’t share them with others. Oh, and take this.” Yashan took out a brand-new spellbook from his clothes and handed it to Isaac.
"this is……"
"Here, take a look at this little guy's plan when you have time. You're quite interesting, and perhaps you could get involved too."
"Thank you, Lord Asan!" Isaac accepted the spellbook with slight excitement and then put it away.
As Yashan just said, he's a bit too excited right now and not really suited to studying.
After that, Isaac left the Flesh Cult's dimension. He placed the two spellbooks on the table, slumped in his chair, and felt like he was in a dream. It had actually happened just like that.
Letting out a long breath, Isaac gathered his thoughts and first opened the cult's spellbook, wanting to see what the benefits would be for core members of the project team.
After a long pause, Isaac gasped!
This is really true!
Firstly, each core member receives 10,000 magic stones per month for research funding, which can be accumulated up to a year. The funding is distributed directly without much explanation!
Second, the entire project team will cover all costs and techniques related to body modifications involving dragons!
Third, you can use the project team's procurement channels to buy what you need, and get a 20% discount on everything!
"Gulp~" Isaac swallowed hard. To become rich overnight, nothing could be better!
All three conditions are quite tempting, especially the second one: all materials and technology related to dragon body modifications are provided free of charge!
He is now a great wizard, and the cultivation of the great wizard stage requires a lot of physical transformation to transform himself from a mortal into a magical creature. So the moment he saw this, he even thought about changing his original plan and becoming a dragon wizard instead!
Anyway, dragons are a very powerful magical race!
However, this is just a thought. Dragons are a powerful magical race, but they are not the strongest!
Legend has it that the path to becoming a wizard is to take shortcuts, so if you're going to take a shortcut, you should naturally take the fastest and best one!
"Hoo~" Isaac took two deep breaths, put down the spellbook, and calmed himself down. There were many benefits, but he still needed to work hard to turn these things into strength.
Improving strength can't be rushed. We need to carefully consider which part of the body to modify and what abilities to choose for the first modification surgery. Now, let's take a look at the information about that egg.
Filled with intense curiosity, Isaac opened the magic book given to him by Ashan. A line of text that caught his eye made Isaac lean back slightly—some conjectures about Tiamat, the mother of all dragons!
Tiamat, one of the ancient dragon gods!
Legend has it that He gave birth to the dragons and is the origin of all dragons, but this legend was denied by the legendary dragon-slaying wizard. It is said that he approached Tiamat, the mother of the five dragons, killed her, and studied her corpse and the source of her power, confirming that she did not have the ability to create dragons.
That research notebook is still preserved in the museum of the Truth Society and on display to the public.
And now, they're actually going to create Tiamat?
Or is it really creation?
Filled with intense curiosity, Isaac opened the spellbook...
Chapter 133 Void Worm: Hey guys, I've run into an idiot.
After a long while, Isaac raised his head, closed the spellbook, and still had a hint of shock on his face. He was truly a master, extraordinary indeed!
The project's purpose is quite old-fashioned, still the same old idea of creating perfect creatures and gods, but with certain limitations. Perfect creatures are limited to dragons that are infinitely close to perfect creatures, and gods are limited to dragon gods, without any control over them!
Yes, what shocked Isaac the most was the latter: not wanting control!
No matter how the first two are combined or restricted, they will ultimately guarantee control; otherwise, being killed by one's own creations would be too cliché.
However, this plan does not require control; it only seeks the final answer.
Very standard scholarly thinking, and...
That's a crazy idea!
After all, that's a god!
However, upon closer examination, this makes sense, as there has been a prevailing view in academia that the excessive pursuit of control led to the successive failures of related experiments.
What's truly interesting is the content itself. It doesn't resurrect Tiamat, the Mother of Dragons. Aside from the name, the two are completely different. Tiamat, the Mother of Dragons, only possesses the power of being called the "Mother of Dragons," but she doesn't actually exist. The creation of dragons has absolutely nothing to do with her.
Just like the God of the Orcs is neither an Orc nor the creator of the Orcs.
But the dragon mother in this study really does have the ability to give birth to dragons, and she can give birth to all kinds of dragons!
In other words, if this experiment succeeds, what will result will not just be a single dragon god, but a powerful race!
According to the ideal model in the magic book, the fully-formed Dragon Mother would possess the same ability as Tiamat, the Mother of All Dragons, which would increase the fertility of all dragons!
The only pity is that this is just an ideal model. There are still many technical difficulties to overcome, and the most important and difficult hurdle at present is its birth!
Yes, it was born.
Dragons are inherently powerful creatures, making it difficult for them to be born. The Dragon Mother's power is even greater, making hatching even more difficult.
What's even more unfortunate is that he currently lacks the ability to intervene in such an interesting and insane study of god-making!
This god is not Isaac's divine species; the two are worlds apart in terms of power!
"Sigh~" Isaac sighed, putting away the spellbook. The power was still insufficient...
I feel like my improvement rate is already fast enough, so why is this still happening?
Isaac shook his head, stopped thinking about it, got up and left the laboratory to go to the town in the lake to collect materials.
After this experience, Isaac's vision for the future gradually became clearer. All his energy should be focused on learning pure knowledge and research. As for self-defense techniques, he could temporarily give up on self-study!
Just like the defense and displacement skills he urgently needs right now, if he were to learn them on his own, not to mention the long learning time required, just finding suitable spells would consume a lot of his energy.
However, if it is obtained from an Outer God, a single ritual can satisfy both of the above requirements!
There is still a great deal of potential to be explored in the treasure trove of Outer Gods!
Take, for example, the ritual Isaac is about to perform—the Void Worm Feast.
This would solve Isaac's weaknesses in defense and mobility all at once.
In addition, this ritual was also the first evil god ritual that Isaac modified himself. Its prototype was the witchcraft that he obtained in the capital that could grant him some spatial manipulation abilities during his formal wizarding stage.
The original witchcraft required finding a righteous god willing to grant spatial abilities, then constantly offering sacrifices to Him and pleasing Him before He would grant you the ability to manipulate space.
Isaac searched for a while and found a few true gods willing to grant him spatial abilities, but unfortunately, he didn't know how to flatter them, and none of them gave him the ability.
But it's not that they don't know how to flatter, it's just that they haven't flattered for long enough. Normally, they would need to be worshipped for at least a year to be granted this level of ability, so this is already considered generous!
While the Blood and Flesh God of the Flesh Cult can gain abilities with simple offerings, these are extremely minor enhancements, so weak that you can't even feel them...
So after figuring this out, Isaac immediately gave up on being a sycophant, since his family had no tradition of being a sycophant!
But the shortcomings had to be addressed, so Isaac kept thinking about whether he could create an Outer God version of the ritual, one that wouldn't require him to be a sycophant and could be obtained openly and honestly.
However, the Outer God ritual is not so easy to complete. The main thing is to take good protective measures. Otherwise, if you are not careful, it will not be summoning the Outer God for a transaction, but delivering takeout directly to the Outer God, and even the kind that is delivered directly into the mouth!
Isaac still had a few difficulties to overcome, but by sheer coincidence, the magic book that Evan sent, although it did not record any ready-made Outer God rituals, contained profound insights into some of the theories of Outer God rituals, from which Isaac benefited greatly!
On the way back, he perfected the ritual, and the success rate was as high as 70%!
