Chapter 1142: Chapter 828: The Resources of the Dragon Tribe

This was the enhancement resource prepared for her by the Dragon Tribe, treasures cherished by the dragons themselves and even more precious for the young dragonlings of the Dragon Tribe.

Zheng Yichen picked up a bottle and examined it. "What’s this? Water of Life?"

"It’s something that can improve physical constitution. It seems to have been created by the Dragon God and it’s useful for me too." Tanshia Firlo glanced at the item before explaining and adding, "Ordinary people who use this will turn into dragon beasts."

"That doesn’t sound too bad either." Zheng Yichen placed the item back, then picked up another bottle of dark blue potion, its contents glimmering with sparkling starlight and looking extraordinarily beautiful. "What about this?"

"A magic booster serum, crafted according to my attributes, and infused with a portion of Divinity Power," said Tanshia Firlo. Those green dragons with dazzling light weren’t treating her as just a doll.

For days, they had been interacting with her quite frequently, an interaction that further sought to understand her physique, Divinity, Magic Power, and other specifics. The Dragon Tribe then tailored a heap of resources specifically for her.

The Dragon Tribe handing her this many resources clearly demonstrated their intent to cultivate her as a future Dragon God. Such commitment indicated they harbored no doubts about her becoming a Dragon God.

This recognition brought Tanshia Firlo a slight sense of superiority.

"As long as your foundational attributes remain unaffected." Zheng Yichen understood the immense value of the items Tanshia Firlo presented.

These items weren’t ones that could be used up quickly. At a regular usage pace, the contents of this box would be sufficient for Tanshia to use up over a period of three months.

Besides Tanshia Firlo’s resources, there was also a large pile of materials remaining. She said to Zheng Yichen, "Aren’t you recently in need of peculiar materials? I asked for plenty on your behalf."

Items such as harmonizing stones were certainly unavailable, as the Dragon Tribe had very limited reserves of those. However, there was one half-dimension remnant, and its internal volume wasn’t small.

There were also other miscellaneous items. "I gave some Illusory Eyes to those green dragons, and they really liked them, so they stuffed me with additional items in return."

"How thoughtful of you." Zheng Yichen said with a smile, as he collected the pile of materials. These weren’t enormously useful for him, but after Lilith’s assessment, some materials proved to be unrecorded even in the core of the Virtual World.

Those items were perfect for filling the Virtual World. Once broken down and absorbed, they could be fully simulated later. Even if they couldn’t be extracted from the Virtual World, using them freely within it was just fine.

Furthermore, Virtual Genesis still had numerous unexplored effects. The new World Creation data acquired this time enabled Lilith to upgrade Virtual Genesis further, allowing it to recreate certain materials previously observed by the core of the Virtual World.

But this had to be conducted within Virtual Genesis, and other physical materials were required for conversion. The more unique the material, the greater the energy consumption.

This conversion currently applied only to material substances. As for directly producing space fragments? That was not even worth considering. However, Zheng Yichen could attempt collecting tiny space fragments to further fill the Virtual World.

Such filling could amplify the effects of Virtual Genesis. After all, integrating space fragments allowed Virtual Genesis to possess independent spaces outside its built-in space, raising the possibility of achieving higher potential.

Following Lilith’s calculations, the limit was likely half the size of the built-in space, but far safer. Even if a part of the Virtual World was destroyed, the true core wouldn’t be affected.

However, this extra space would be influenced by the environment. A stronger environment could maximize expansion, while weaker conditions would cause it to shrink—unlike the built-in space, which maintained a fixed scope regardless of environmental strength.

This additional space could be likened to expanding Virtual Genesis from two layers to three. If an enemy breached the outermost layer, they would enter the middle buffer layer and have to break through this layer before reaching the built-in space.

Currently, though, this buffer layer was still a line that hadn’t yet been expanded—more space fragments needed to be gathered by Zheng Yichen to bring it into full form.

Small space fragments could be consumed directly. Large ones could be preserved as enhancement material to upgrade the built-in space, which was the most essential and core space.

The sections requiring merit points to upgrade were all related to core enhancements. Unnecessary upgrades depended on the specific nature of the items in question.

For example, the Oblivion force Zheng Yichen newly mastered didn’t require merit points for enhancement, yet its improvements were more fundamental compared to those achieved using merit points.

Zheng Yichen’s interactions with the Dusk nun had been meticulously recorded by Lilith, even though the outcome left the Dusk nun with a faint black mark on her hand, which disappeared with a wipe of a handkerchief.

Nevertheless, this still indicated that Zheng Yichen had exerted external influence through his own power on the Dusk nun—a figure so revered and background-like in this world of magic that even True Gods who dare meddle with her would face crushing defeat.

Not to mention influencing them externally. Yet Zheng Yichen had broken past this boundary, even if just to leave traces of ash. It amounted to undeniable contact.

Thus, in Lilith’s calculations, this power was more fundamental, surpassing even merit point-based upgrades in importance.

Merit point enhancements, no matter the extent, were still confined within Dusk.

"For the Dragon Tribe, updating the heritage memory is more significant, huh?" As Zheng Yichen packed up the items, Tanshia Firlo also stowed away the bottles and jars, using a dragon scale box that was a spatially expanded artifact.

Its stability far surpassed that of regular bags, but this item couldn’t compare to Zheng Yichen’s built-in space. Consequently, she extracted all the contents and transferred them into the built-in space through the Apocalypse Stone Ring she wore.

Inside was a small room that belonged to her.

As for the box in her hand, it functioned more like a collectible. Filling it with items first required assessing the environment in the world. In a low-environment situation, the items inside could instantaneously implode.

"You can’t bite the hand that feeds you; the Dragon Tribe truly knows how to play the game." Zheng Yichen chuckled. The half-dimension remnant gifted by the Dragon Tribe was notably large and might allow his built-in space to increase in width, depth, and height by several meters.

Space fragments were terribly hard to preserve. Smaller ones would evaporate immediately upon appearing, while larger ones, even if initially retained, would still evaporate greatly if not promptly secured.

Ultimately, only remnants remained—insignificant fragments. Space fragments evaporated at an alarmingly fast rate; genuinely stable fragments were essentially limited to the half-dimension remnant brought by Tanshia Firlo.

Moreover, space fragments required anchored stability within a fixed space. Built-in spaces couldn’t be extraordinarily large; their volume often equated to the observed fragment size.

Virtual Genesis, based on Zheng Yichen’s built-in space, was stable already, so it could anchor those space fragments. However, expanding the Virtual World using heaps of space fragments could only be done incrementally.

As for dumping a half-dimension remnant into it... well, that would be excessively extravagant. Half-dimension remnants were far more stable than space fragments; they were even capable of acting as vessels to stabilize space fragments.

Understanding the resources Tanshia Firlo acquired this time, Zheng Yichen realized that the small white dragon’s resources were even more valuable than the half-dimension remnant.

Zheng Yichen had no objections to the Dragon Tribe’s approach.

"Let’s go. If word got out that I—a mere outsider—had access to the Dragon Tribe’s heritage memory, wouldn’t it cause an uproar?"

"Hehe, it won’t be talked about externally." Tanshia Firlo smiled expectantly. The fact that the Dragon Tribe broke protocol like this was a unique exception only for Zheng Yichen.

It was a matter bringing her more joy than being involved in updating heritage memory.

After tidying up their items, they reached the location where the Dragon Tribe updated their heritage memory—within the Dragon Tribe’s treasure vault. Here, Zheng Yichen laid eyes on a giant dragon skeleton, towering like a mountain.

Even in its skeletal state, the deceased giant dragon still exuded an intense sense of presence.

The Dragon Tribe’s heritage memory was housed within the skull of the giant dragon’s skeleton, emanating blazes of blue light that filled the area like flames. Zheng Yichen felt a sense of déjà vu.

If this giant dragon skeleton suddenly rose from the dead, it wouldn’t even feel surprising.

"This is the Ancestral Dragon God, the origin of the Dragon Tribe," Denas said with a solemn tone. "Over ninety percent of Dragon Tribe members go their whole lives without ever laying eyes on the Ancestral Dragon God."

"I’m a bit curious... Well, how about I tell a myth from another world instead?" Zheng Yichen felt asking questions here might be disrespectful, but his curiosity was strong. He decided to share a compromise—a story from another mythology.

"Go ahead." Denas didn’t respond, but one of the Dragon Gods nearer the Ancestral Dragon God’s skeleton, speaking with an aged voice, did. The Dragon God maintained a human form and stood closer to the Ancestral Dragon God than others.

Meanwhile, Denas—also in human form—stood much farther away with them.

Zheng Yichen narrated the myth of Nüwa creating humanity, reflecting his intrigue with the Ancestral Dragon God and the origins of the Dragon Tribe... Hmm, could this mean the Dragon Tribe was somehow molded by this Dragon God?

The story hinted at Zheng Yichen’s unspoken question.

The aging Dragon God replied, "The Ancestral Dragon God was the first to ascend to Dragon Godhood, and thereby became the progenitor of the Dragon Tribe. After attaining Dragon Godhood, the Ancestral Dragon God profoundly influenced all members of the Dragon Tribe—a transformative influence."

Zheng Yichen nodded in understanding. A "transformative influence," huh? From a scientific perspective, that just meant evolution. He grasped the Dragon God’s message: the original members of the Dragon Tribe bore witness to the emergence of their first Dragon God, who subsequently impacted the species.

In Dragon God form, the Ancestral Dragon God likely emitted some kind of "radiation," enabling all members of the Dragon Tribe to undergo "evolution."

Going further into mysticism, the emergence of the Ancestral Dragon God granted the Dragon Tribe immense fortune, allowing them to rise rapidly during ancient times... The conveyed idea was clear enough.
