Chapter 1144: Chapter 830: Prices are Going Up

Although inherited memories can accommodate vast amounts of information, the Dragon Tribe has always aimed to streamline where possible—too much complexity isn’t ideal.

The two Stone Tomes were distributed among every Dragon God, and their thickness began to diminish. As time passed, the rate of reduction slowed down, and ultimately, the two tomes, much thinner now, merged into one.

Zheng Yichen also found a small Stone Tome appearing beside him.

Without being overly courteous, he picked it up and started reading. The content was still the information he had woven together, but its details had been significantly streamlined.

He carefully reviewed it. Although the information had been condensed, the key points he highlighted remained intact; even the less crucial parts had been preserved.

Some additional content had been added as well, but it closely aligned with Zheng Yichen’s woven information, only expressed from a different perspective—this part belonged to Tanshia Firlo.

"It’s done already? That was fast." Zheng Yichen glanced at the cheerful Tanshia Firlo and shook his head slightly. While her contribution seemed like odds and ends, for the small white dragon, it was still an utter joy.

Zheng Yichen brought out his fishing rod, and in an instant, more than a dozen gazes locked onto him.

The collective attention of the Dragon Tribe’s Dragon Gods focused on him. Zheng Yichen twitched the corner of his eye slightly: "I’ll demonstrate Virtual Genesis."

"Please," one Dragon God said. The Stone Tomes in their hands vanished instantly, but the surrounding environment remained unchanged.

Zheng Yichen activated Virtual Genesis directly, and the expanding Divine Domain enveloped everything around them.

Denas, within the environment, revealed an astonished expression. "Above the Divine Domain... The price of half-dimension remnants will definitely rise in the future."

"??" Zheng Yichen heard the Dragon Tribe leader mutter. "What did you say?"

"If you heard it clearly, I won’t repeat myself." Denas regained his composure. He was also a future Dragon God, but had been suppressing his power without breaking through.

Demigods are better suited for activities in the Mortal Realm; once a god, interfering in too many matters becomes inconvenient. That’s why the Dragon Tribe leader has always been a demigod, whereas at least half of the dozen-or-so Dragon Gods present had once held the leader’s position.

As one of the future Dragon Gods, Denas was well-traveled and had profound insights into the understanding of power. Within Virtual Genesis, he immediately sensed the distinctiveness of this place and thought about avenues for enhancement beyond the Divine Domain.

Although he hadn’t truly experimented before, he could confirm that half-dimension remnants were indispensable. True Gods possess Divine Kingdoms, and the Divine Domain connects to the Divine Kingdom. But fundamentally, Divine Kingdoms are fixed.

Divine Kingdoms are anchored within this world’s spatial plane, essentially carving out a territory as one’s own. If a True God leaves this world, their connection to the Divine Kingdom will sever, leaving only the Divine Domain intact.

While the Divine Domain can manifest similar to a Divine Kingdom, it’s inherently different. A Divine Kingdom operates as permanent property rights and development privileges over a selected territory, allowing unrestricted construction within its scope.

The Divine Domain, by contrast, is a temporarily designated area and offers fewer privileges. Battles within it are also less fortified compared to within a Divine Kingdom. However, Zheng Yichen’s Divine Domain had seemingly eliminated these drawbacks.

But for this to work, an independent space is required. Simply excising a section of space isn’t impossible, but to ensure stable effects, half-dimension remnants are the optimal choice since half-dimension remnants...

...are crucial for refining and filling in rule-based information later. Yet from his observations, this method of enhancement wasn’t exceptionally potent—unless one had conditions similar to Zheng Yichen’s. Otherwise, it would merely expand upon the foundation of the Divine Domain.

It’s worth pursuing but not necessary to obsess over.

Nevertheless, acquiring this information would inevitably increase the value of half-dimension remnants.

While enhancing elements beyond the Divine Domain isn’t mandatory, it certainly isn’t useless either. Even a minor improvement is an advantage, and once those incremental gains accumulate, others inevitably fall far behind.

"Thank you for showcasing the information beyond the Divine Domain; this is far more useful than we imagined." A Dragon God spoke, signaling to Zheng Yichen that maintaining Virtual Genesis was no longer necessary.

The newly formed environment rapidly dissipated, reverting to the Divine Domain that seemingly belonged to the Ancestral Dragon God. So the Ancestral Dragon God, despite being reduced to skeletal remains, truly wasn’t dead after all?

The special environment around them gradually vanished as well, restoring the scene Zheng Yichen had initially observed.

The blue flame cluster continued to burn at the skull of the Ancestral Dragon God’s skeleton. Zheng Yichen faintly saw innumerable fine threads branching out, connecting Tanshia Firlo, Denas, and other Dragon Tribe members not present there.

"Seems like you could handle this yourself."

On their way back, Zheng Yichen gently patted Tanshia Firlo’s head. As he wasn’t a dragon, he didn’t share a strong sense of pride in this matter—nor did he feel any.

"It’s different, you know. Information weaving leaves an imprint of the weaver’s essence, allowing dragons who delve into it to understand it in greater depth."

"Really?"

"You’re not a dragon, so you wouldn’t feel it." Tanshia Firlo replied with a playful grin. "The inherited memory has now been updated. Those threads you saw earlier? They marked the synchronization release post-update. It means for a long time to come, no Dragon Tribe members will bother the Ancestral Dragon God’s slumber."

"So your mind is packed with plenty of new knowledge now?"

Tanshia Firlo nodded. "A lot of it isn’t immediately useful, but there are some vital ones. For example, the True Dragon Exposition—knowledge from an alien world. Although it’s been reformatted to suit us dragons, the name has still been preserved.

This cultivation method can further enhance the Dragon Tribe’s physiology, allowing dragons to reach demigod or even True God levels purely through their bodies. But achieving True God status through this method is extremely difficult; even if successful, it won’t grant a Godhead."

"Reaching True God levels through this alone is already impressive enough—it’s hard to imagine any dragon in the Dragon Tribe being a magical power weakling." Zheng Yichen remarked.

"Hahaha, indeed. But if you combine this with the Dusk-related knowledge you provided, it becomes very useful," Tanshia Firlo said with a laugh. "By mastering this, dragons can operate effectively in low-energy yet high-intensity environments without being disadvantaged."

Just as Zheng Yichen and Tanshia Firlo were about to leave, Denas approached them.

He brought up something of great importance to the Dragon Tribe. Of course, Zheng Yichen didn’t feel particularly affected by it personally.

"The Dragon Tribe intends to send a batch of dragon eggs to the Misty City World," Denas openly explained the Dragon Tribe’s plans. The goal was to expose the eggs to the effects of the Alien Phenomenon environment.

The appearance rate of Dusk mercenaries among the Dragon Tribe was incredibly low.

"You won’t have to personally care for these dragon eggs. The Dragon Tribe will assign suitable dragons for the task, and those members will follow your instructions to a certain extent."

Zheng Yichen initially wanted to refuse, but the Dragon Tribe’s offerings were just too tempting!

Two chunks of half-dimension remnant, a small piece of harmonizing stone, and a pile of other rare materials—how could he say no?

"I agree." Zheng Yichen accepted the Dragon Tribe’s proposal. All they wanted was to leverage Misty City’s environment to influence the eggs rather than having them hatch there.

"Ah! Why are they here?!" Tanshia Firlo suddenly shrieked upon noticing the green female dragons she’d interacted with recently. Her expression immediately shifted to one of frustration as she stared daggers at Denas. "You did this on purpose, didn’t you?!"

"You got along pretty well with them, didn’t you?" Denas replied tolerantly to Tanshia Firlo, who was a junior in the tribe.

"But why them?!"

"Because they’re green dragons—they’re more specialized in caring for dragon eggs." Denas said with a smile. "Besides, their humanoid forms align well with human aesthetics. Green dragons also possess strong combat capabilities, making them ideal candidates for this task."

This time, the Dragon Tribe planned to send an impressive number of dragon eggs—one thousand, a number considered significant even for the tribe. However, these dragon eggs were the result of prolonged accumulation, and the ability to preserve them owed much to the Dragon Tribe’s unique sealing techniques.

Once these eggs were taken away, many of the Dragon Tribe’s egg nests intended for storage could be shut down, leaving just one active as a reserve.

A thousand dragon eggs, four green dragons assigned to care for them. It wasn’t simply about placing them somewhere; these dragons would take the eggs out to roam now and then, exposing them primarily to environments on the edge of alien phenomena.

Ordinary dragons wouldn’t be up to the task, requiring these four green dragons to be demigods. As for the impact of their reassignment on the Dragon Tribe? It was negligible.

The Dragon Tribe’s foundation was strong—losing a few demigods wouldn’t shake it.

"Your tribe has really gone all out this time."

Denas said solemnly, "For a better future."

"Can’t we pick someone else?" Tanshia Firlo asked stressedly as she saw the green dragons approaching, ducking behind Zheng Yichen. "They always bump me with their chests—it’s so annoying!"

"Hahaha. Let’s go," Zheng Yichen laughed as he picked up the small white dragon, and said to Denas, "If you need more time to prepare, I’ll wait for you at the Dusk Cathedral."

"How about tomorrow?" Denas replied with a smile, sensing that Zheng Yichen had other matters to attend to, though he didn’t mention that everything was already ready.

"That works."

Leaving the Dragon Tribe’s territory, Zheng Yichen immediately headed for the Dusk Cathedral, where he took out three pieces of half-dimension remnants and directly sought an upgrade from Dusk.

This time, he seemed almost impatient, making it clear that the Dragon Tribe’s resources were truly impressive. Despite their claims of running out, they still managed to pull out a wealth of treasures.

"Twenty merit points? Fine, let’s get started with the expansion..."
