Under everyone's watchful eyes, Caesar angrily fell into the Life Transmutation Array. Immediately afterwards, dazzling golden light burst forth like a curtain being drawn high.
In an instant, light filled the entire laboratory, bathing everything in a golden hue, as if it had been painted with gold lacquer.
"Wow, I can't comment on other things, but this thing is definitely bright." Tiffany covered her eyes and took a few steps back.
"That's normal. This rogue dragon is light-attribute, so the Life Transmutation Array will definitely favor this side. Boss, am I right?" Crassus calmly took out a pair of sunglasses, put them on, and turned to look at Logo.
"You think you know so much?" Logo rolled his eyes at him, then turned and beckoned to Melier, who stepped forward and handed him an open metal box containing various materials.
To transform Caesar from an alchemical life form into a true intelligent life form, recognized by the rules of the Astral Realm, a single Life Transmutation Array is not enough; it must be combined with other materials as auxiliary materials.
At the same time, the quality of these materials also largely determined the strength and potential Caesar would possess after his transformation.
Logo had made extremely thorough preparations for Caesar's transformation.
There are three types of Legendary materials in the box alone.
Logo first took out one of the Legendary materials.
This is a bottle of blood that resembles liquid gold, contained in a crystal bottle, emanating a pure and powerful aura of True Dragon.
"Boss, this is... Legendary dragon blood?" Crassus brought his big head closer, resting his chin on Logo's head. Only this fat cat dared to make such a move now.
"Get your iron chin off your head, it's uncomfortable!" Logo said irritably. Crassus smiled awkwardly, quickly moved his head away, and even thoughtfully tidied Logo's messy hair.
Shaking his head helplessly, Logo still explained, "That's right, this bottle of blood is Legendary dragon blood, specifically the blood of Gold Dragon."
"I knew I wasn't mistaken, boss. Where did you get this blood?"
Logo raised an eyebrow. "A gift from a Dragon Clan friend."
"Dragon Clan friend?"
Everyone, including Crassus, was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized what was going on, and silently mourned for a second for the three Legendary True Dragon imprisoned in the Gale Demon Wolf Tribe.
Based on their understanding of Logo, they figured he wouldn't refuse to borrow some blood from these True Dragon friends, since everyone knew Logo was incredibly popular.
"With this Legendary True Dragon blood, Caesar can truly transform into a dragon-type life form, and there is a considerable probability that he can awaken the dragon's inheritance. Although the inheritance is likely to be incomplete, it is better than nothing." As Logo spoke, he opened the crystal bottle and poured the Gold Dragon blood inside into the Life Transmutation Array.
The next moment, a deafening dragon roar resounded throughout the laboratory, lingering for a long time before gradually subsiding.
Correspondingly, a colossal phantom of a True Dragon slowly descended into the magic array, its whiskers fluttering, its scales clearly defined, its body robust, its wings covering the sky, its power extremely astonishing.
As the altitude decreased, the phantom of the True Dragon continued to shrink until it became the same size as Caesar. Suddenly, it leaped and entered Caesar's body.
"Ouch... it hurts so much... help me..."
Within the magic circle, enveloped in light, Caesar screamed in agony, writhing on the ground in excruciating pain.
Through the light, one could see the dragon scales on Caesar's body peeling off piece by piece, and his muscles and bones slowly melting, as if he were steel in a furnace.
From the outside in.
Dragon scales, dragon flesh, dragon bones, dragon marrow...
The five internal organs, the four limbs and the whole body, the dragon's wings...
Before long, Caesar's screams gradually subsided until they fell completely silent.
Now, Crassus, who had been gloating, started to panic and quickly said, "Boss, Caesar's not talking. Is he dead? Is there something wrong with the magic circle? Should we stop for now?"
Although this fat cat and Caesar bicker fiercely every day, in reality, the dragon and the tiger are more like close friends who are always at odds. Crassus doesn't want this rogue dragon to just die like that, because that would add a lot of fun to their lives.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. This is all standard procedure, no problem."
Logo waved his hand and said calmly.
"Really?" Crassus looked doubtful.
"Cough... would I lie to you?"
"That sounds familiar," Crassus, wagging his tail and tilting his head.
Logo ignored the fat cat and instead closely observed the changes within the Life Transmutation Array. Countless starlight flickered within his Eye of Insight, weaving a waterfall-like flow of information, performing extremely complex calculations, and firmly grasping every subtle change in Caesar's physical condition.
Since Logo dared to attempt life transformation, he must have been confident, though not 100%, probably around 75%.
"Hmm... it's ready, time to add the second ingredient."
After waiting a while longer, until Caesar had completely turned into a "lump," Logo took out another crystal bottle from the box.
The bottle also contained a liquid, crystal clear and blackish-red in color. Upon close inspection, one could see what appeared to be a beautiful serpent slowly swimming within the liquid.
This is the original marrow and blood of the "Madam Poison of Renewable Resources," containing part of the true essence of this Legendary life.
The three Legendary True Dragon imprisoned by the Gale Demon Wolf Tribe still need to be returned to Dragon Island, so they can't go too far. Logo doesn't want to completely provoke the Dragon Clan, so he only drew some blood from each of them.
Although it weakened the three-headed True Dragon considerably, it did not damage its Yuan Qi.
However, Madam Poison was different; she was essentially his personal property, and Logo could do whatever he wanted with her.
Let alone extracting her primordial blood, even if Logo were to tear apart Madam Poison's soul, no one would interfere.
Of course, for the sake of sustainable resource utilization, Logo would never do something as unsustainable as draining the pond to catch all the fish.
Upon opening the bottle, the dark red primordial blood poured out, and in mid-air, controlled by Logo's Fire of Birth, it transformed into thousands of extremely fine threads, connecting to Caesar's now-lumped body, leaving no corner untouched.
With the infusion of the primordial blood, Caesar, who had been like a stagnant pool, began to writhe and slowly transformed into a huge golden egg. Golden and red dragon patterns appeared on its surface, outlining the image of a majestic True Dragon.
Seeing this, Logo quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The first hurdle had been overcome, and the success rate had now increased to 80%.
"Then comes the soul's gestation..." he Logo, taking a box from the metal case. When he opened it, he revealed neatly stacked, translucent crystals.
One hundred Soul Crystal, each containing extremely pure soul energy.
Caesar wanted to transform from an alchemical being into an intelligent being, but physical changes alone were not enough.
Most importantly, it involves a transformation at the level of the soul.
Only when one truly forms their own soul, unleashes their inner light, and cultivates the seeds of wisdom, can one be considered to have truly accomplished their great task.
All of this requires a sufficient supply of soul energy.
"Go!"
Logo pointed a finger, and golden-blue flames, carrying hundreds of Soul Crystal, poured into the giant dragon egg that Caesar had transformed into.
Nourished by the immense soul energy, the once lifeless dragon egg began to radiate a vibrant and dazzling vitality. The dragon patterns that appeared on the eggshell also came to life, its eyes opened, and it emitted a soft and tender dragon roar, moving around on the surface of the egg.
