I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature

Chapter 1143: Chapter 829: Seems Pretty Simple?

"To this day, the Ancestral Dragon God continues to protect the entire Dragon Tribe and maintains a critical connection with its members," the aged Dragon God’s voice narrated deeply and steadily about the deeds of the Ancestral Dragon God.

However, such deeds are mostly superficial. What Zheng Yichen currently knows is that this connection of the Ancestral Dragon God links to every new generation of the Dragon Tribe.

The transmission of inherited memories is not strongly tied to the Ancestral Dragon God. After all, if this connection were too entwined and there were issues with the Ancestral Dragon God’s remains, wouldn’t the inheritance be severed?

Therefore, the transmission of inherited memories is linked to the individual members of the Dragon Tribe.

Yet, updating inherited memories must proceed through the Ancestral Dragon God. By utilizing the connection the Ancestral Dragon God has with all members of the Dragon Tribe, the updating of inherited memories can thus be completed.

Anything beyond that? Mostly, it’s just the glorious past of the Ancestral Dragon God—nothing substantial remains.

Further ahead, Denas transformed outright into his giant dragon form, and Tanshia Firlo reverted to her dragon form as well. Zheng Yichen, being human, only needed to keep his original form when facing the Ancestral Dragon God.

As for those already members of the Dragon Tribe, they certainly couldn’t use their human forms to approach the Ancestral Dragon God’s remains closely.

Staring at the Ancestral Dragon God’s skeleton, Zheng Yichen inexplicably thought of the Skeleton Behemoth near North Lake. That creature had been dead for a very long time, yet due to the presence of Essence of Life, it still retained traces of vitality.

If it hadn’t been dredged up by the Evil Spirit, then when the Misty City World achieves equilibrium and its environment is upgraded, it’s estimated that the Skeleton Behemoth could have directly resurrected.

Such a possibility is not just greater than zero—it’s actually quite high.

"So what’s next for us?"

"Weaving information," the aged Dragon God said. He did not keep secrets nor act cryptically; he went straight to the point.

"The Dragon Tribe is now collaborating with the Luminous Divine type. The Luminous Divine type has shared a critical piece of information with us about Virtual Genesis."

Zheng Yichen nodded; both of those Holy Maidens had already returned. It was natural that the Luminous Divine type would know about this. Still, even after knowing, it didn’t make much difference. Having returned not long ago from the Chaos Furnace, the greatest gain for him wasn’t the advancement of the Virtual World but rather his own strength.

"The thing above the Divine Domain, huh? You want to replicate it?" Zheng Yichen found it understandable that gods would take an interest in such information.

"We only wish to acquire a portion of that information. The more important task remains the updating of inherited memories," the aged Dragon God said calmly. Virtual Genesis was something to learn about, but understanding it suffices.

As for reproducing it? Better clarify a few unclear aspects first before proceeding. Virtual Genesis is merely a topic for brief exploration—even if it’s considered a progression beyond the Divine Domain, it still aligns with Zheng Yichen’s perspective of progression.

In this world, the Divine Domain is already exceptionally refined. Methods of enhancement and augmentation—many True Gods possess their distinct interpretations.

"That’s easy then. Shall we begin now?"

The aged Dragon God nodded and began explaining the methods to weave information here. As his discourse unfolded, Zheng Yichen gradually became aware of some issues: the Dragon God’s narration was slowly shifting toward Dragon Language.

Curiously, at that moment, Zheng Yichen could still understand it. Meanwhile, the surrounding darkness began to change—the dimness gradually brightened, while the environment and scenes around him rapidly unfolded, portraying the historical evolution of the Dragon Tribe.

This was the manifestation of inherited memories.

But it was merely the surface—a recording akin to historical footage. It contained almost none of the actual knowledge. The environment, composed of scenes from the past, was itself a Divine Domain. Yet it gave Zheng Yichen a feeling reminiscent of the Virtual World, albeit less perfected.

A familiar figure appeared—Lilith: "BOSS—"

"You don’t mind having one more person here, do you?"

"It’s no problem," the Dragon God replied calmly, casting a brief glance at Lilith. She was Zheng Yichen’s ’tower spirit,’ and the Dragon Tribe was aware of this. Hence, Lilith’s presence here was deemed acceptable.

Within the Ancestral Dragon God’s Divine Domain, issues inevitably turned inconsequential.

Two heavy stone tomes materialized before Zheng Yichen and Tanshia Firlo. Observing the door-sized books, Zheng Yichen’s mouth twitched slightly. Upon opening them, however, he found the books to be unexpectedly refined, despite being crafted of stone.

The stone pages were extremely uniform, resembling industrially produced metal sheets, yet the content was blank.

"All relevant information should be woven and engraved onto these pages."

"This seems... pretty simple?" Zheng Yichen remarked as he took in the setup. Denas had briefed them earlier about their tasks here—they were responsible for weaving information about Dusk and the Boundary Breakers.

There wasn’t a need to withhold much here; the Dragon Tribe had provided plenty, and Zheng Yichen was glad to help refine things further.

"Things only appear simple because we’re under the watch of the Ancestral Dragon God," the Dragon God explained coolly.

"Let’s get started. I’ll write normally, and you’ll handle the selection and retention, correct?"

Zheng Yichen pressed his hand against the stone book. As his spiritual power made contact, related text immediately surfaced on its pages. There were even pictorial elements—images accompanied the text.

Tanshia Firlo, on the other side, didn’t just idle around either, instead weaving her knowledge of West Sydney. Though she often played the role of a spectator during Zheng Yichen’s battles, akin to a child marveling at his prowess, her contribution here stemmed from the Dragon Tribe’s perspective, helping supplement other information.

The Dragon Tribe’s worldview naturally differed from humanity’s, with distinct focal points in their data collection.

Zheng Yichen contributed extensive information regarding Dusk. Yet, much of this information pertained to details readily apparent to frequent contacts with Dusk. The deeper aspects, however, Zheng Yichen also recorded to an extent.

Regarding the Dusk mercenaries, the details he provided were more sparse—not due to reluctance, but rather lack of familiarity. For the Great World, on the other hand, Zheng Yichen’s documentation was thorough.

As the Boundary Breaking Faction’s headquarters, the Great World left an indelible mark on Zheng Yichen’s memory. His writings even included a meticulous list of precautions for encounters within the Great World.

The content wasn’t vast, but when precise recording of everything was complete, over two hours had elapsed.

Closing the stone tome before him, Zheng Yichen remarked, "Are you Dragon Tribe planning to focus on cultivating Dusk mercenaries in the future?"

"The Dragon Tribe cannot afford to fall behind in this regard," the Dragon God openly acknowledged. Recently, the Luminous Divine type had already identified numerous ’Heaven’s Mandate Knights.’

Publicly labeled Heaven’s Mandate Knights, they were essentially Dusk mercenaries. The human race’s vast numbers naturally raised the probability of identifying Dusk-qualified individuals. For the Dragon Tribe, however, their smaller population posed certain challenges.

Up to now, apart from Klakauska, only one Dragon Tribe member had qualified as a Dusk mercenary, a result derived from testing the entire Dragon Tribe.

Meanwhile, humans along with other alien races had already gathered nearly thirty members into their ranks. Though their collective quality couldn’t rival that of a single dragon, their capacity to access alien worlds was far greater.

Short-term increases in Dusk mercenary numbers are unlikely for the Dragon Tribe, but proactive preparations are still underway. They’ve even devised specialized training models.

Among the Dragon Tribe are numerous dragon eggs without parent caretakers. Plans involve placing these eggs into unique environments for cultivation.

This specialized environment naturally lies within Dusk Territory and Phenomenon Zones.

The focal point of cultivation hinges on the Misty City World. Klakauska had previously detailed the situation there—it harbors numerous Dusk mercenaries. Evidently, as a peculiar realm, its inhabitants possess a heightened likelihood of adapting to Phenomena.

Dusk adaptability is far rarer than Phenomenon adaptability.

Consequently, one plan involves transferring a portion of dragon eggs to the Misty City World. The goal isn’t to rush their hatching but to let the dragon eggs remain within such environments long-term, allowing them to absorb the influences of Phenomena-prone conditions.

To carry out this initiative, deeper collaboration with Zheng Yichen becomes essential.

Such processes will demand vast amounts of time, yet the Dragon Tribe is willing to experiment. As for merit point expenditures during exchanges, these are matters the Dragon Tribe intends to address. Klakauska’s accumulated merit points will contribute, as will those of the other qualified Dragon Tribe member.

Not contributing points is out of the question. The Dragon Tribe provides significant resources for growth, enabling better completion of mercenary tasks and earning additional merit points. Naturally, those consuming Dragon Tribe resources are obliged to return a portion of their gains.

"Your swift action is rather unlike what I’d expect of long-lived species," Zheng Yichen remarked sincerely.

Beside him, Denas remained noncommittal: "It depends on the situation. When the matter is critical, we’re no different from humans or other intelligent lifeforms.

If it’s something else... say cultivating a flower that blooms only once a century, we could leisurely nurture it, never fretting about time."

This epitomizes the capriciousness of long-lived species. For others, nurturing such a flower would be a lifelong endeavor, while for dragons, it’s a mere pastime—a hobby potentially indulged in multiple times over until boredom sets in.

"Alright then. I don’t have anything further to add here," Zheng Yichen said, clapping his hands. Pushing away the floating stone tome, he still felt that this round of inherited memory updates had been surprisingly casual.

However, on reflection, it made sense. The Dragon Tribe’s major updates are undoubtedly kept internal—his role here was merely to provide supplementary information, not to integrate knowledge.

Some knowledge Zheng Yichen wouldn’t mind sharing, such as Demonic Abyss Seven Kills or Blood Asura. The problem is that even if the Dragon Tribe learned of it, they couldn’t apply it.

As for Oblivion? He wasn’t intending to stir up trouble.

"Thank you."

The stone tome, pushed out earlier, was now clasped by a dragon claw. Upon contact, the book naturally enlarged, adjusted to fit the dragon claw gripping it. Another tome, belonging to Tanshia Firlo, was also held in its grasp.

Soon, many dragon figures materialized around them.

Denas, standing nearby, explained: "They are other Dragon Gods. The updating of inherited memories has widespread significance and must proceed under the witness of most Dragon Gods. Additionally, the Dragon Gods are responsible for reviewing and refining the content."
