“I swear on my dragon’s soul!”
Lin Ye took a deep look at Nightshade. He had seen the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon and naturally knew the importance of the dragon soul oath to the Dragon Race.
Any lie would destroy one’s soul.
In that case, what she said about joining the Dragon Race and advancing to the peak of the Thearch-grade Realm might be true.
The more this was the case, the more surprised he was.
“Lin Ye, this is a good opportunity to reach the heavens in a single step. Think about it carefully. You only have one chance. If you miss this chance, I don’t know when the next time will be,” Princess Nightshade said seriously.
Lin Ye pondered for a moment and said, “What do you mean by joining the Dragon Race?”
He knew very well that such a huge temptation was definitely not just to join the Dragon Race.
There was a higher chance that there was something deeper.
“It’s simple, but it’s also difficult. This opportunity requires you to give up your identity as a human and smelt your original body. Then, you can reforge the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Body with the holy blood in the blood pool. From then on, you will completely become a member of the Dragon Race.”
As she spoke, Princess Nightshade stared at Lin Ye with a burning gaze.
To her, the heavy responsibility of being a Dragon Empress was too heavy. As a woman, she was a little too weak.
At that time, not to mention the various dragon princes, even the elders in the depths of the Dragon Cave would not be willing to let her, a non-pure-blooded descendant of the Dragon Race, to become the new Dragon Empress.
Instead of being restricted everywhere, it was better to completely let go and let Lin Ye be reborn and become the emperor of the Dragon Race.
In this world, the strong were always respected.
She firmly believed that with Lin Ye’s talent, luck, and methods, he would definitely be able to suppress the Dragon Prince and many dragon elders in one go.
This way, the entrustment of the previous Dragon Emperor to her was not in vain.
“Abandon the identity of the Human Race this season…”
“I knew it!!”
Hearing this, the corners of Lin Ye’s mouth twitched.
Although he had long guessed that it would not be so easy, he was still quite disappointed when he heard it.
If he gave up his identity as a human in the season, his 100xReward talent would probably be useless.
He would not do such a stupid thing like picking up a sesame seed and discarding a watermelon.
“How is it? Have you decided?!” Princess Nightshade looked at Lin Ye expectantly.
She was already prepared. As long as Lin Ye agreed, even if she had to risk her life, she was willing to help Lin Ye ascend to the position of Dragon Emperor.
“I refuse.” Lin Ye shook his head.
“Oh, okay, ah? What did you say?”
Nightshade was stunned at first, then dumbfounded. She felt like she had heard wrong.
“Stop looking. I said no,” Lin Ye added solemnly.
“W-why? Joining the dragon race is a good thing for you, me, and the entire Dragon Race. Why did you reject it?!” Princess Nightshade was puzzled and asked anxiously, “Lin Ye, do you have any concerns? Don’t worry, I swear on the dragon soul that I have no intention of harming you. If you really don’t believe me, I’ll teach you the Ancestral Dragon Art now and let you refine the holy blood. You’ll naturally understand if it’s true or not.”
“Don’t be anxious. I know you don’t want to harm me.”
Lin Ye chuckled and patted Nightshade’s shoulder. “But everyone has their own ambitions. I have my own plans. This matter will end here. If you trust me, lend me the Ancestral Dragon Art and the holy blood. I guarantee that you will have unexpected gains.”
“What more can I get?” Nightshade looked disappointed.
In fact, when she saw Lin Ye sacrifice himself to save her at the Hidden Dragon Ridge, she was filled with hope that Lin Ye would replace her as the new Dragon Emperor.
However, when she saw Lin Ye’s resolute rejection, her heart instantly felt empty and uncomfortable.
Even so, she still casually threw the extremely precious Dragon Race’s ultimate book, the Ancestral Dragon Art, and the ownership of the holy blood to Lin Ye.
A moment later, he heard the system’s congratulatory message.
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have obtained the ultimate collection of the Dragon Race—Ancestral Dragon Art!”
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have obtained 99 drops of Ancestral Dragon Blood Essence!”
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have obtained an eight-colored treasure—Dragon Transformation Pool!”
100xReward.

3. Random Level, Quantity…
“Beep. Friendly reminder that the 100xReward energy is insufficient. Currently, you can’t upgrade to get the nine-colored treasure. Please charge it in time!”
“???”
“Insufficient energy?”
“Damn you!”
Lin Ye was so angry that his mouth was almost crooked. When he saw the first two options,
His breathing was rapid and filled with excitement.
Whether it was the Ancestral Dragon Technique or the Heavenly Ancestral Dragon Technique, or the Ancestral Dragon Blood Essence or the Chaotic Dragon Blood Essence, they were all world-shaking treasures in the outside world.
Whichever one he chose, he would definitely make a killing.
As for the last nine-colored true treasure that appeared—the Absolute Beginning Dragon Transformation Pool.
Just the word ‘nine-colored’ represented everything.
Yet in the end, the system said that there was insufficient energy.
This kind of tantalizing behavior was really annoying.
“System, do I need to continue to open treasure chests like last time?” Lin Ye asked.
“Yes, doing so can allow the system to absorb high-level energy. The current Ancestral Dragon Blood Essence meets the requirements for high-level energy.”
“Ancestral Dragon Blood Essence!” Lin Ye’s eyes lit up.
It was not impossible for him to open the treasure chest now, but it was too time-consuming. It was naturally better to settle it once and for all.
“Lin Ye, what are you doing!”
Nightshade immediately became nervous as she watched Lin Ye walk towards the blood pool.
“Don’t be afraid. Lend me some. I’ll give you a big surprise later.” Lin Ye smiled mysteriously.
“I don’t want a surprise. Don’t use it, okay?” Nightshade shouted pitifully.
One had to know that the Ancestral Dragon Blood Essence was not just the flesh power left behind by Lord Ancestral Dragon to continue the Dragon Race’s fire seed.
It was also the last accumulation of many Dragon Emperors who had sacrificed themselves over countless seasons.
If Lin Ye could agree to join the Dragon Race and use some Ancestral Dragon blood essence to reconstruct the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Body, that would be something she would be happy to see.
However, Lin Ye refused. This blood essence was the foundation of the future Dragon Race. Hence, she wanted to save as much as she could.
“Idiot, you don’t even want the opportunity.”
Lin Ye rolled his eyes. “Forget it. Let’s talk about it when you see it. How can I lie to you?”
With that, he ignored Princess Nightshade and walked towards the blood pool.
He pointed at the air, and a terrifying suction force immediately descended from the void. The Ancestral Dragon Blood Essence turned into a reverse flow and surged into Lin Ye’s palm.
In an instant, the system sent a dense congratulatory message.
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have absorbed a drop of Ancestral Dragon blood essence!”
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have absorbed a drop of Ancestral Dragon blood essence!”
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have absorbed a drop of Ancestral Dragon blood essence!”
…
100xReward.
