"In fact, there’s no one else to choose."
The one who can become the Demigod of the Dragon descendants, perhaps from start to finish, there has only been one.
"Ah Jiu, what do you think?" Lu Ping’an asked.
In front of him, that blue translucent little snake coiled upon the table, its single horn glimmering with golden specks of light.
Its little tongue flicking, its lazy eyes seemingly open yet closed.
It looked like a "precious exotic treasure," but in reality, it was Lu Ping’an’s most peculiar "child."
She, Demon Snake Ah Jiu, was perhaps the least active of all Lu Ping’an’s magic pets.
This was partly because the "material" from which she was made was overly special, like a fish out of water outside her "homeland," indeed somewhat inactive.
Another part was because Lu Ping’an, when creating her, had been a little over-eager in bestowing three Blessings.
"...The first Blessing, you will not be bound by form, the second Blessing, you will freely switch between ’Energy (Spirit)’ and ’Matter’..."
This was the essence of Ah Jiu’s construction, the "definition" Lu Ping’an had given her.
If it were only this trait, with the special Divine Bones that were the main material of the ancient Divine Beast, which could turn thermal energy into kinetic energy multiple times, it could be done.
Back then, Lu Ping’an had added his personal touch to the "blueprint," including his understanding of high-dimensional and the essence of all things.
Finally crafting a fantastical Giant Beast existing between existence and non-existence, able to freely transform between energy and matter, capable of willfully manipulating the real universe, looking back now...
"Isn’t this just an eleventh-tier high-dimensional existence..."
Evidently, back then Lu Ping’an borrowed the material of ancient Divine Beasts, using high and absurd "Taboo knowledge of the World" as the design blueprint, but in reality, accomplished the miracle of mere mortals forcibly sculpting a god.
In a certain sense, he succeeded, little Ah Jiu was freed from the limitations of the real universe from the moment of her birth, even she couldn’t be regarded as a material existence.
But he also failed, the things he gave weren’t able to create a complete "God Above Gods."
The final result was a "component" with some traits of God Above Gods.
From the moment of Ah Jiu’s birth, she fell into a predicament, she had the highest divinity but lacked "material foundation," she couldn’t "evolve" normally, could only be used by Lu Ping’an as a powerful component during Life Fusion.
This was undoubtedly a waste, especially after Lu Ping’an recklessly added the third Blessing.
"...The third Blessing, you will be my infinitely growing Sharp Blade... cough cough."
At that time, the ignorant and rash Lu Ping’an even coughed up blood on the spot.
This Blessing transformed the God Above Gods from an individual into a "weapon," to some extent providing a downgrade.
This seemed to weaken but actually protected the still very immature Ah Jiu.
The upper limit of an intelligent individual is infinite, while a tool just needs to be useful, giving her the concept of "weapon," naturally wouldn’t allow her to become "higher and stronger."
Just that, this restriction also equaled severing the possibility of her evolution... Lu Ping’an, though granting the potential for infinity evolution, couldn’t give her the "food" to evolve, the only things that could join her internal cycle and metabolism were products of the same spec, her lazy nature stems from a complete lack of interest in the "food" before her.
Starved and unable to see advancement (evolution) possibilities, naturally, she lays there.
But in the midst, an unexpected incident brought some changes.
"The Blessing of the Abyss... better abandon that thing."
Possibly due to Ah Jiu’s existence being too high-end, during the campaign against the Abyss Snake God, Ah Jiu attracted the Abyssal Will.
Her "infinite evolution" instinct, as long as paired with the abyssal essence of slaughter evolution, naturally continued its growth.
This practically opened a new path for her from a dead end, as long as slaughter continued down this path, she would naturally become a newly Newborn Abyss Lord.
"...Disgusting."
But the lazy Ah Jiu herself negated this path.
Lu Ping’an was originally a bit regretful, because taking this road might have made the role of the "War God" Little Flame less significant, Ah Jiu would have been a more suitable king of slaughter.
Lu Ping’an was not averse to his magic pets being covered in blood, but he preferred to respect the choices of his "children."
Just, he had a bit of curiosity...
"Very tiring, will become very ugly."
Alright, very persuasive reasons.
But since Ah Jiu made this choice, Lu, who is "not lacking weapons," doesn’t need to force her... the truth is, he has never interfered with the path choices of the "children."
Just like his world’s reason where everyone is like a dragon, is to give them the opportunity and chance for growth, not interfere with their will and choices.
"This time, are you willing?"
Ah Jiu climbed onto Lu Ping’an’s arm, her crystal-like eyes silently watching him.
In those shadow-like eyes was rare persistence.
"I want to change my appearance."
"This form isn’t very good-looking."
"I want to be an older sister..."
"I want to have hands and feet, so I can watch shows, read books, and drink drinks on my own."
Too many "words" appeared in the void, the usually reticent "little guy" showing rare determination.
And this choice, also had its unstoppable instinctive guidance, as well as real-world feasibility.
After all, her root, that essence of ’energy conversion,’ had too many points of convergence with this world.
Previously she was the "conversion of energy," while the essence of this world’s "mutual conversion of energy and matter/energy conservation" seemed to be the "puzzle" she most needed.
She could become more complete.
"Snake, the prototype of a dragon, inherently has the potential to ascend to dragonhood, or rather, is the best prototype of a dragon..."
Fantasy Beast taking form in reality, Ah Jiu is clearly the best candidate.
When she made up her mind, naturally Lu Ping’an did not obstruct.
Her materials, containing rules, remain the most high-end among Lu Ping’an’s magic pets, since there’s a chance to leap through the dragon gate, naturally Lu fully supports.
"It’s starting..."
In the Hatching Pool, an enormous snake-shaped egg is constantly writhing, she is drawing upon the roots of this world, while also returning to her source of birth.
Lu Ping’an’s "Life Cauldron," will give them eternal growth potential.
"I am Ah Jiu, the invisible Dragon-Snake, the Guardian of void and existence..."
The twisted Snake God may perhaps re-transform into the God of Man.
Lu Ping’an patiently waits while watching trucks deliver vast amounts of strange material.
Fantasy Beast Dragon requires abundant "material," and the core component remains Lu Ping’an’s own "bloodline."
