After meeting with his aunt Amelia, Ian set off for World Gate outside the universe "Origin Wall". In order to prevent Dragonkind from tracking, he placed the two dragon kings there.
Walking into one of the rooms, he saw the huge yellow creature with its eyes closed, lying on a pile of gold and silver jewelry. Albion seemed to sense that someone was intruding into his lair, and opened one eye slightly.
After seeing that the person who came was Ian, he stopped paying attention and closed his eyes again. However, a few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes and even turned his huge head to stare at Ian. His vertical pupils were full of shock and disbelief.
"You already Sixth Tier? How is this possible?"
"Oh, can you see it?" Ian clearly controlled and concealed his mana fluctuations perfectly, but unexpectedly, he was still discovered by this dragon.
"No, no, this shouldn't be the case - especially considering your long lifespan. Even if you used Elixir of Life to replenish your vitality, there should be traces."
"I will never use that inferior magic system that sacrifices lifespan in exchange for rank," Ian replied calmly.
Albion is in some kind of existential crisis.
In the universe, there are not many races that have the potential to advance to higher levels by relying on magic power - especially in an environment where Shinto (belief in becoming a god) is easier to pass.
Among all races with this kind of talent, Dragonkind is definitely among the best, if not the strongest.
However, even as a noble dragon king with the strongest bloodline, he could not reach Sixth Tier in such a short period of time.
"That doesn't make sense at all," the Dragon King muttered loudly, "Unless... unless you do it."
"What was accomplished?"
"You found a way to travel to other universes, just like you said you would."
In the early days, their relationship was relatively harmonious, so Albion knew that this wizard had been trying to break Origin Wall and find other universes.
At that time, he scoffed at Ian's idea, because it was something that even the gods had never done. Even their Dragonkind's Inherited Memory concluded that it was almost impossible.
The last time they met, Albion thought that the wizard had just found a way to travel Astral Realm or discover other planes.
But even if the plane is conquered, it is impossible for people to be promoted to Sixth Tier in such a short period of time.
Not to mention the huge dangers and extremely high requirements for luck associated with such an attempt.
"You guessed wrong. I'm just gifted," Ian replied. This dragon cannot be completely trusted yet. If this secret is discovered by other civilizations, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Maybe you are right," Albion responded, "Then, what's the point of your visit?"
"I want to ask you a question."
"So what do I get in return?"
"I will provide enough magic power to help you return to Sixth Tier."
"Deal, ask."
"In this universe, are there gods or other individuals of Eleventh Tier? If so, who are they?"
"As far as I know, since 'Magus Race', there has never been an individual of Eleventh Tier."
"Magus Race? What is that?"
"I have answered your question."
"Come on, you and I both know that the little information just now is not worth the price I have to pay."
Albion paused, "I can't say much about Magus Race."
"Is it because I can't say it or because I don't want to say it?"
"I can't say," the dragon replied seriously, "But I can add something else as compensation."
"What?"
"Intermediate and advanced Dragon Tongue Magic knowledge. In addition, I can also give you my countless years of cultivation experience."
Hearing this, Ian frowned. "Why are you so generous all of a sudden?"
"You can think of this as an investment."
In its heyday, Albion was a Tenth Tier Dragon King, but fell after being involved in a war involving Dragon Temple, and had to use his bloodline to be reborn.
He also dreams of returning to the top and even going one step further. If the wizard in front of him really breaks Origin Wall, then this may be his chance.
The dragon stretched out its huge claws, condensed a piece of Crystal and handed it to Ian. In exchange, Ian immediately began to mobilize enough magic power for the dragon to absorb.
Albion As soon as he entered the energy-filled room, he chanted a few spells, and a powerful defensive barrier instantly enveloped the room. Then, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
At the same time, in another room, Ian was observing the entire process of the dragon's evolution through surveillance.
The first thing he noticed was that Albion actually shattered Magic Core in the body and directed all the magic power to the heart.
"Is this 'Magic Heart'?" Ian muttered to himself. Dragonkind of the Empire seemed to have adapted to the environment and evolved into Magic Core.
But according to the information previously obtained from Albion, the core of the orthodox Dragonkind's magic system lies in their "Dragon Heart" or "Magic Heart", and there is no such thing as a core.
Ian observed and recorded the whole process attentively, hoping to learn something from it. Sure enough, he discovered something.
"It's so charming," he admired softly.
The mystery of Magic Heart actually involves the DNA and cells in the body.
The DNA of a single cell is about 2 meters long, and the human body has about 37.2 trillion cells.
Therefore, if all the DNA in a human body were connected, its length would be more than twice the diameter of Solar System.
Dragonkind took advantage of this fact to build their magic system.
Their hearts have at least a hundred times as many cells as humans, and by storing magic power in their DNA, they can quickly advance to higher ranks.
Moreover, magic power is not only stored in the heart, but also throughout the body; this is one of the reasons why they are so huge.
This may be a shortcut for me to quickly advance to Tenth Tier, Ian thought to himself.
However, there are still some issues that need to be resolved before adopting this approach.
First of all, the human heart is completely different from Dragonkind. In addition, an extremely strong body is needed to carry such a powerful heart.
One way to solve this problem is to enlarge the human body to the size of a star or Solar System.
This is not difficult, Dragonkind itself has Shrinking Charm, and size is not the main obstacle.
Although he came to this conclusion, Ian didn't like this solution very much. He felt that there should be a better way.
The last problem with this method is the requirements for soul strength and magic control.
Wait, I overlooked one thing. Albion's soul should be stronger than shown.
Moreover, even if there is enough magic power, if the soul is not strong enough to control, it is impossible to be promoted.
So, he immediately checked Soul Space of Albion, and sure enough he found that a huge Soul Energy was pouring in from somewhere. While strengthening Albion's soul, it was also slowly eroding the "Soul Enslavement" restriction that Ian had planted in his soul and blood.
What a cunning old guy, Ian watched all this coldly.
This stock of Soul Energy did not appear out of thin air; it is very likely that it has always existed and was just released according to the needs and wishes of Albion.
Ian A flash of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
The best way to deal with this situation is to use Floating City and Death Staff to forcibly reinforce Soul Enslavement.
But he didn't take action immediately because it might interrupt Albion's promotion process. He decided to wait.
According to calculations, it will take at least 57 years for that Soul Energy stock to break through the ban.
Moreover, even if Albion really breaks free, he is now in Void.
Without the help of Ian, his only fate would be to be completely wiped out by Void Energy.
As for controlling World Gate? That is even more impossible. This thing is set to self-destruct immediately once it detects that someone other than Ian attempts to interfere with the main operating system.
After making up his mind, Ian turned to deal with another one - the Frost Dragon Queen.
Like Albion, she is also trying to break free from the control of Ian.
In fact, the reason why she never woke up after she was born was because she was concentrating on trying to break through the restriction.
This made her feel extremely Wrath when she discovered that Ian had increased the strength of the ban to Ninth Tier level.
"Okay, let's go talk to Dumbledore and find out why Milky Way Galaxy is so turbulent."
