34: Were my ancestors really that powerful?!
On the main screen, within the complex 3D model representing Su Jue's Life signals, everything appeared normal.
Whether it was the gray cycle representing the [Chaos Dragon Body] or the multicolored light specks representing the mixed law powers of Life, Destruction, Decay, Wind, and Thunder, they were all operating in an orderly fashion under a perfect balance.
The issue was that at the deepest part, the very core of this vast and precise dragon energy system... a golden thread lit up!
It was an extremely faint golden thread, so faint it was almost negligible.
It was like a small boat in a vast ocean, squeezed so hard by the surrounding domineering law powers that it was almost invisible.
But it was exceptionally stubborn!
No matter how those law powers washed over it or roared against it, it remained firmly entrenched there, not dissipating in the slightest!
Moreover, it was... glowing!
It was... awakening!
"This is..."
Elizabeth's soul trembled at the sight!
She naturally recognized what it was!
That power didn't belong to the dragon race! It didn't belong to any powerful race within her knowledge!
It didn't belong to destruction, nor Life, nor any of the laws Su Jue had "consumed"!
It was ancient, mysterious, and filled with infinite possibilities!
That was... the most primitive source power... belonging to humanity!
It was the innate bloodline imprint of Su Jue as a human!
This discovery was ten thousand times more shocking than Su Jue devouring the Saint King's Law or gnawing on Dimensional Shards!
How could this be?!
How could a mundane human bloodline possibly be preserved under the repeated washing of her Life Source, Ao Yuan's Destruction Source, and so many mixed laws?!
It should have been assimilated, erased, and crushed into the most insignificant dust long ago!
But now, not only had it not been erased.
Under the nourishment of the perfect "law micro-circulation" system within Su Jue's body, and the protection of the [Power of Creation and Destruction]... after undergoing countless destructions and reconstructions... it had finally... begun to undergo some kind of unknown... mutation!
"Mother! This... this is..."
Ao Ning's voice was trembling; looking at that golden thread was like witnessing a miracle.
"The human bloodline power... is actually... actually self-optimizing! It's evolving! It's absorbing the remnants of the surrounding law powers as its own nourishment!"
"Its structure... is undergoing a reorganization that we cannot comprehend! Heavens! This... this completely violates the Law of Conservation of Energy! It violates the Bloodline Suppression Theory! It's creating! It's creating a brand new, higher-dimensional energy form out of thin air!"
This dragon research fanatic had gone completely mad!
She lunged at the console, her hands moving as fast as phantoms!
"Increase scanning power! No! Activate the [Source Lens]! I want to see every microscopic change! I want to record this great moment!"
"Stop!"
Elizabeth's cold reprimand instantly froze all of Ao Ning's movements.
An invisible force directly knocked Ao Ning away from the console.
"Do you want to kill him?!"
During such a fragile and critical moment of transformation, any tiny external interference could lead to the collapse of the entire process!
At best, the transformation would fail; at worst... a bloodline conflict would cause instant death!
"I..."
Ao Ning opened her mouth, her face pale.
She knew she had lost her composure.
But she couldn't control herself!
That golden light held a fatal attraction for a researcher like her!
And at this moment.
Su Jue, in the center of the [law constant chamber], also felt the changes in his body.
It was a wonderful feeling.
If the dragon bloodline and those law powers brought him strength, dominance, and a cold power that controlled everything.
Then the warm current surging from the deepest part of his body right now brought... warmth.
It was like... after trekking for billions of years through an endless winter night, finally seeing a glimmer of light from a campfire.
It was like... a soul floating alone in the cold universe finally finding... a home.
He instinctively called out in his mind.
"System, analyze!"
[Ding! Unknown high-energy reaction detected within the Host's body...]
[Performing deep analysis...]
[Analysis failed! This energy form exceeds the current analysis limit!]
[Initiating emergency protocol... performing fuzzy recognition...]
[Recognition successful!]
[Target: Primordial Human Ancestral Blood (??? Grade)]
[Status: Initial Awakening (1%), undergoing unknown mutation...]
[Potential: Incalculable!]
[Remarks: When the dragon's roar echoes through the sea of stars, when the laws of gods and demons divide the universe, when a tiny soul thinks it has embraced the entire cosmos... please do not forget that in the deepest part of your bloodline, there still sleeps a... King... who once made all races bow their heads.]
Holy crap?!
Su Jue stared at the chuunibyou-style remark on the system panel, completely stunned.
What the hell is this?
Primordial Human Ancestral Blood?
Didn't my Dragon Emperor dad use his essence blood to transform me into a dragon physique?
Why is this thing still in my body?
And from the sound of it... it seems pretty badass?
A King who once made all races bow?
Were my ancestors really this awesome?!
Just as Su Jue was in shock, the golden thread in his body seemed to sense his will and suddenly became active!
It was no longer satisfied with curling up in the core of his body.
*Whoosh!*
A soft sound!
Under the terrified gazes of Elizabeth and Ao Ning!
A golden light as thin as a hair suddenly shot out from Su Jue's fingertip!
It wasn't aggressive.
Like a curious Infant, it reached out its tiny hand to explore the world.
Then, it lightly touched the mirror-smooth wall of the room, made of [Hephaestus Alloy].
Hum—
The entire [law constant chamber], the top-tier dragon laboratory claimed to isolate all laws and be unshakable even by a Saint King from the outside.
At this moment, it trembled violently!
Immediately following.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
The entire pure white spherical room was vibrating intensely!
On the walls, the golden runes carved by the Dragon Grand Craftsmen to stabilize space and isolate laws began to flash wildly, as if injected with an overloading current!
In the observation room, the alarms of various instruments blared in unison!
"Energy reaction overload!"
"Unstable ripples appearing in the spatial structure!"
"Stabilization Arrays No. 37 through 108 have failed!"
Ao Ning stared at this inconceivable scene, her mind a complete blank.
What's happening?
