Reborn As A Evil Dragon

"Master, I want to be pregnant with your child."

Salonia, whose face was flushed, raised her head with a look of longing.

Regarding Salonia's expectations, I nodded slightly without any reservation.

To be honest, I was also looking forward to whether I could give birth to an heir.

If I could give birth to an heir, how much of his void talent could he inherit? And I have so many skills. How many of them would be passed down? What about Plutonium Dragon blood?

Not only Salonia, but I also had no reservations about the maids of Black Wing Lair. Even though I hadn't laid even one of them, they were mine—it was clear even to them.

I clearly knew that my bloodline was powerful, so I could only obtain heirs by casting a wide net.

Otherwise, if there were only a few females, they might not be able to give birth to even one offspring for tens of thousands of years or even longer.

And the more abilities I gain, the stronger and more complex my bloodline gets.

This is my intuition. The price of power.

"Heir!" My eyes held inexplicable emotions.

In my previous life, I had never had this kind of experience of being a father, so I was really looking forward to it.

After resting for a few days in the warm passage of the Abyss Dolon Castle, when the next feast was about to cool down, I returned to the Tal material plane through the teleportation altar.

It would be safer to hold the feast in the lair, which would make the dragon feel at ease.

Castle Black, Dragon Pond.

I woke up from my feast-enhanced slumber.

After feeling the strengthening effect for a moment, my eyes showed a trace of satisfaction.

The biological order is only a little short of the mid-level sixteenth order.

At the next feast, I think I will be able to break through.

I, who was in a happy mood, was about to go for a walk outside to relax when my white dragon's eldest daughter arrived.

In the center of the dragon pond, on the smooth black rock ground, I raised my eyebrows as I looked at Eirlys, who was walking towards me with a look of excitement on her face.

So happy, isn't she?

Has she developed spiritual abilities?

My guess was correct.

Eirlys didn't show off at all and said excitedly as soon as she arrived,

"Father, I have successfully developed psychic powers!"

"Use it and let me take a look," I thought to myself and said calmly.

Eirlys saw her father's dull expression and that he did not praise her in words. She responded with a bit of disappointment. However, she soon cheered up and immediately began to show off the spiritual power she had cultivated.

In the visual observation of my mental power, I could vaguely see the extremely thin special energy covering Eirlys's left front dragon claw.

Psychic indeed.

But it was too little. What surprised me was that although the spiritual energy cultivated by Eirlys was small, it was quite pure in quality.

Although it was much inferior to the spiritual energy I cultivated, mine came from the transformation during the feast, so it was inevitably powerful.

However, Eirlys's spiritual energy having this "quality" showed that her core belief in cultivation must be very firm.

I was a little curious about this, so I asked directly,

"What is your belief in cultivation?"

"It's you." Eirlys looked at the Black Dragon Lord with burning eyes and said in admiration,

"My belief is to follow in the footsteps of my father, keep moving forward, and become stronger!"

I was speechless and said helplessly, "You are ambitious. Have you never thought about what would happen if your strength surpassed mine one day?"

Taking chasing others as a belief in cultivation—if one's own strength surpasses that person, then this belief will be regarded as achieving the goal and bearing fruit.

Although spiritual power will not regress because of this, it will be difficult to advance in the future.

If you want to become stronger again, you can only ruthlessly destroy the spiritual energy that you have cultivated through hard work, reset your belief in cultivation, and start practicing from scratch. This is undoubtedly very tortuous and painful, not to mention the lost time.

This is a disadvantage, but there are also advantages to having this belief.

The advantage is that because the goal of faith is very specific, and even because it is something that can be touched around you, the faith is no longer illusory and can easily become firm. Therefore, spiritual energy cultivation can progress quickly in this way, especially when this object is a being that one admires greatly.

If she were to set her belief upon the pursuit of gods, for Eirlys, it would only lead to uncertainty, a void of endless questions rather than the foundation of conviction.

What are gods? Are they rulers of fate or mere accidents of divinity? Which god is it? A god of war, a god of wisdom, a god of chaos—or something beyond names and titles? Why chase that god? Is it for power, for answers, or simply to stand in the presence of the divine? Do you seek its strength, its immortality, or the mere acknowledgment of its existence?

Why that god and not another—why not a lesser deity easier to grasp or a greater one beyond comprehension? Do you wish to be its champion, its rival, or its equal? Will you worship blindly, or will you demand proof of its worthiness? If gods are born from belief, do they shape reality, or does reality shape them?

Are gods truly eternal, or are they bound by the faith of mortals, fading when forgotten? And if one god falls, will another simply take its place?

Many problems make it difficult to firm up the beliefs in one's heart. A mind burdened with such endless dilemmas can never cultivate unwavering faith. Without absolute belief rooted deep in the soul, spiritual cultivation is hollow—its power fragmented, diluted, and ultimately fragile. A heart divided between doubt and devotion will never grasp true strength, for hesitation is the death of divinity.

Even if you are hypnotized all the time, if it is not recognized and firmly rooted deep in your heart, then spiritual cultivation will not only be slow but also of poor quality—scattered, thin, and weak in power.

"Father is the strongest!" Eirlys's beautiful frost-silver dragon eyes were full of determination.

I nodded slightly, recognizing this sentence came from the bottom of her heart. I said calmly,

"You are right. Sooner or later, I, Barbatos Caesar Volaric, will surely ascend to the throne of the pinnacle."

Wouldn't a Chromatic dragon still be a Chromatic dragon if it wasn't more arrogant? What's more, I still have talent! To support this statement, I have accomplished so much that even dragons cannot achieve in their entire long lifespan.

"Then, Father, can I go out?" Eirlys asked hopefully.

"Have you found two companions?" I asked.

"Found them. The silver dragon Katie and the brass dragon Melissa." Eirlys nodded, looking longingly at the black dragon.

I made a brief recollection and soon remembered the two young Dragonesses, as I was the one who named all the dragon beasts, and I am confident they take great pride in this.

A dragon's memory is very good. As long as I don't forget it deliberately, I can remember it even after a thousand years have passed.

"Those two little gals are pretty good, much better than you." I nodded slightly, indicating my approval.

"Then go ahead. Remember, activities are only allowed in the southern part of the mainland."

"Yes~!" Eirlys's originally anxious mood suddenly turned into excitement, and she responded eagerly.

Watching the white dragon jumping away, I felt a little strange in my mind.

Is this the complicated emotion that parents feel when their children go out to explore?

'But experience is necessary. The dragon beast itself has no dragon heritage. It lacks knowledge and understanding of things, and its mind is as blank as a child. If you don't practice and enrich your experience, then…' I thought silently.

If one is a true dragon, there is not much need to take risks and go out to experience. One of the best choices is to survive until adulthood because there is all kinds of knowledge in the vast dragon heritage. With this, one can understand many truths in the world, including kindness, neutrality, evil, etc. In this situation, if you go out when you are weak, you will have nothing to rely on.

However, experience comes from experience. It is okay to be injured or even seriously injured, but death must not occur.

Therefore—I summoned Skye, the chief manager of Dragon Nest.

Skye, who was more than three meters tall and looked like a dragon man, walked in and met with the Black Dragon Lord.

I didn't waste any time and directly ordered, "Eirlys and the two little dragons went out for training. Arrange some monsters with rich experience, strong strength, and preferably good at hiding to track them and detect dangers that may threaten their lives in advance. As for their suffering, if they get hurt or suffer some losses, don't worry about it. If needed, send D1 to follow her."

After Skye listened quietly, he said respectfully, "Then I will send the elite team of Tengu people and the dragon-born human cavalry who practice the blood knight profession. And D1, Master, what do you think?"

"Anything is fine, just follow your arrangement." I nodded slightly.

Thugs, thieves, spies, assassins—vicious and cowardly—the above adjectives can be used to describe Tengu people. Tengu people can be said to be born thieves.

Compared with other races, their frontal combat strength may be average or even worse, but they have a lot of experience in being villains, doing disgusting and insidious things.

They are a group of bad people from the womb.

As for sending dragon-born humans? The mainland is still dominated by human forces, with human traces everywhere. Dragon-born humans can communicate better and detect dangers in advance.

And D1, my firstborn Son of Death, Currently, they monitor Castle Black like automated machines. It would be beneficial if they took some action. He carries the blood of a vampire and the essence of true darkness. With the raw might of an 18th-order being and a profession honed to the 15th level, he stands as a force beyond reckoning. Even against legends, he would merely survive—he would endure, challenge.

"Then your subordinate will go down and make arrangements as soon as possible."

"Go," I said casually, and after saying that, I entered a state of studying spells.

I also wanted to break through to the master-level spellcaster as soon as possible.

Castle Black, after several expansions, has a main building that covers an area comparable to the size of a city.

It is divided into rooms, and these rooms are the dragon nests where the black-winged dragons live.

At this time, in a luxurious and huge dragon's nest room, one white, one silver, and one yellow-green dragon gathered together.

"How about it? Father, did he agree?" the brass dragoness Melissa asked eagerly. Her dragon pupils were like molten metal balls, which looked both beautiful and oppressive.

The silver dragoness Katie also stared at Eirlys with her bright and beautiful silver dragon eyes.

Although the three dragons are of different breeds, they are all female.

It's just like children. Children who don't have much experience usually have a lot of pricks for boys and a lot of pricks for girls.

And the dragon beast that has only gained wisdom for a few years is actually just a child.

Relatively speaking, Eirlys is the youngest dragon but has had wisdom the longest and is more mature.

In terms of dragon age, Eirlys is twenty-one years old, the youngest among the three dragons. Katie, the silver dragon, is the oldest and is in her eighties. Melissa, the brass dragon, is second and in her seventies.

In terms of strength, Katie is the strongest. She had advanced strength before receiving the Void bloodline. Now, several years have passed, and her biological order has been raised to the fourteenth order.

The same goes for Melissa. She was a high-order dragon when she was a dragon beast. Now, several years later, she has reached the thirteenth order.

Only Eirlys is too young. Although she has received the Void bloodline for the longest time, more than ten years, the white dragon has the weakest foundation, so she was promoted to the tenth order just half a year ago. Now, her biological order is in the mid-tenth order.

As for the newly cultivated spiritual power?

The amount is too small. It can barely be used as a small killing move, and the strength improvement is weak.

"Father agreed." Eirlys nodded somewhat proudly.

"As expected of the eldest sister."

Silver dragon Katie and brass dragon Melissa complimented her, with envy in their eyes.

There are more than 300 dragons in Castle Black, and Eirlys, Emilia, and Hannah are the only ones who can enter the dragon pond to meet the Black Dragon Lord without notification.

Although the dragon beasts called the Black Dragon Lord their father, it was only because the first few dragon beasts took the lead, so they followed suit.

Later, after knowing that their wisdom was given by the Black Dragon Lord and personally witnessing the Black Dragon Lord's majestic dragon body, this title truly penetrated deeply into the hearts of the dragon beasts and was accepted. Nowadays, the dragon beasts in Castle Black, ranging from master-order adult dragons to intermediate-order dragonlets, all worship the Black Dragon Lord and sincerely recognize him as their Dragon Father.

The birth of wisdom, in a sense, is the birth of a new life.

"Then when should we set off? Now? Now? I think now is a good time to set off." Brass dragon Melissa asked three times, obviously impatient.

Although Melissa is only a brass dragon beast, there is a strong spirit of adventure deep in the blood of the brass dragons. They often travel the material plane and talk to various creatures to collect information and stories.

Because they are too talkative, they are also called the Chatterbox Dragon.

Melissa unknowingly seemed to be developing in the direction of a chatty dragon at this time.

"Just pack up, and we'll set off." Eirlys couldn't wait either.

Soon, the three little female dragons each took the treasures they had collected over the years and headed north of the Black Wing Lair.

Not long after they left, two teams quietly set off from the Black Wing Lair.

One team is the Blood Knights, numbering thirty. Twenty of them have land mounts, ten of them have flying creatures, and there are two high-level Blood Knights in the team. They moved forward at full speed and soon passed the three female dragons who were rushing on their way, coming to the front of them to check for danger.

The other team is the Tengu, with only ten Tengu, but there are two Tengu who have reached the advanced order, and the remaining eight Tengu are also at the peak of the intermediate order. Such an experienced team of thieves makes even an ordinary master-order individual be a little more vigilant, lest they accidentally overturn the car.

Certainly, D1 was discreetly trailing behind them, yet he remained unseen as he was concealed in the shadows.

---

Time passed quietly like water.

In this relatively peaceful environment, Black Wing Lair developed quietly for half a year.

Counting the previous two years, Black Wing Lair has ruled the Dark Forest for two and a half years.

Two and a half years ago, there were still a large number of wild monsters, intelligent races, and wild monster clans living in the Dark Forest. But today, two and a half years later, the changes have been earth-shaking.

The monster villages that previously migrated from Black Wing Lair and were scattered throughout the Dark Forest have now reproduced for generations. The original small monster villages have become medium-sized, the medium-sized have become large, and the large have become monster towns. If there is excess population, some will be separated, and a new monster village will be established.

Today, the number of monster villages exceeds fifteen thousand, with populations ranging from dozens to thousands.

There are also more than fifty monster towns with a population of more than 5,000.

In addition, to the east, at the entrance to the Dark Forest, a second Monster City was built with the concerted efforts of a large number of monsters.

Of course, compared with the monster city in Black Wing Lair, it is one or two levels behind in terms of scale, quality, and population.

But as time goes by, this monster city will definitely develop and become prosperous.

"Sir, the development information for the past month has been compiled." The dragon-born human came to Skye with a book and handed it to him.
