"What do you mean?" The dragon king asked. Hearing the old man's words, he felt confused. He had never seen the old man in his life.
'How could someone like him help someone like me?' He asked himself. After all, he was still the second most powerful being in the Zhou Solar system, as far as he knew.
"You've been searching for a way to reproduce, right? What if I told you I have a way to help you." The old man said with a smile.
"???!" The dragon king was shocked hearing the old man's words. How could he possibly help?
Despite his confusion and wariness, the dragon king was desperate enough to listen.
"And how would you do that?" He asked.
"Not me, I won't personally help you. Instead, I have an item that will help you. More accurately, a drink." The old man said.
"And you're willing to give it to me?" The dragon king asked, suspicious of the old man's intentions.
"No, not give. I am willing to make a trade." The old man said. Naturally, Zhou Fan wouldn't give him it for free. If he wanted it, he would have to earn it.
"Regardless of what you want from me, how do I know that the drink will actually help me?" The dragon king asked.
As he finished speaking, the old man put his hand behind his back, before bringing it back out. Now, a golden droplet was floating above his hand. It gave off waves of light and an intense amount of life energy.
As soon as the dragon king saw it, he felt that it was special.
"This drop is free. It won't give you the ability to reproduce from just this drop, but I'm sure you will be able to feel something change inside of you." The old man said.
Then, the floating golden droplet flew towards the dragon king.
"It's up to you if you want to drink it. I'm sure you can feel that it will not harm you, but if you don't want it, I won't force you." He continued.
Hearing him, the dragon king hesitated and struggled in his mind. He didn't want to risk it being poison since the old man in front of him was clearly powerful, but he felt that this would be his only chance to have an heir.
After just a few moments, the dragon king finally decided and swallowed the droplet. As soon as he did, he felt his body changing rapidly.
Specifically, he felt his genetics changing. As the transformation continued, it suddenly stopped.
"That's all you'll get from a single drop. Are you interested in hearing my proposition?" The old man asked.
The drop was something that Zhou Fan had created while the dragon king was traveling towards the stairs. Although it was simple to him, it required an immense understanding of life and a high cultivation level to be able to create the drop.
If he drank the entire thing, the dragon king would not only be able to have an heir, but be able to permanently reproduce.
"I am willing." The dragon king said after he felt the effect. Naturally, he was unable to resist the temptation of the drop. "What do you want?"
Hearing his question, the old man smiled.
"I want your cultivation." The old man said.
As the dragon king comprehended his words, his face turned unsightly.
"What do you mean!? How dare you ask such a thing!" The dragon king yelled.
Still, the old man didn't react and stood there smiling.
"Fear not, I do not want all of your cultivation. I just want to take enough to bring you back to void traversing. With my special powers, I will be able to do it cleanly so that you will be able to reach the space shattering realm once again. Still, I simply want to see how determined you are." The old man explained
Zhou Fan was doing the dragon king a favor. If he wasn't willing to sacrifice some of his strength for the ability to reproduce, he wasn't deserving of Zhou Fans help.
After hearing the old man's explanation, the dragon king calmed down. From his words, the dragon king felt that the deal was actually quite reasonable.
It's not like he had much room to improve anyways. It might actually be fun breaking through again. However, he had just one question.
"What are you going to do with my cultivation?" The dragon king asked.
"Nothing really. Your cultivation is too little to affect me in any way whatsoever. I will most likely just let it disperse in the air and increase the quality of the Qi in the Zhou World, although I doubt it will have even a .001% effect." The old man said.
Although many of his words were hurtful, the dragon king didn't ask any more questions like how powerful he was or how he knew so much, and agreed to the deal.
Both the old man and the dragon kin reached out to shake hands. As soon as they did, the dragon king felt something leave him, then he felt himself weakened to the tenth level of void traversing.
Although the dragon king felt sad at the loss, the feeling was replaced by excitement and hope when a bottle of golden liquid appeared in his hand.
He looked at it with happiness, but as soon as he looked up, the old man had disappeared.
"Thank you." The dragon king said before bowing his head and walking off with the potion.
As he left, Zhou Fan appeared inside the floating palace. Since he had helped the dragon king with a major problem of his, he felt quite happy with himself.
Also, he didn't reveal too much about a higher strength being present in the Zhou World. After all, he didn't want Anna and the rulers, including the dragon king, to start getting too suspicious.
At most, the dragon king would keep the event to himself and have some slight suspicions. Luckily, he hardly cared about cultivating anymore and wouldn't feel any pressure regardless.
Inside the floating palace, Zhou Fan extended his divine sense and looked around the solar system. Despite its size, it seemed as if the entire thing was in a state of calm. There were no wars and very few uncontrolled battles. If it was a bit smaller, Zhou Fan guessed that there may not even be a single death within the solar system.
Looking away from everyone else, Zhou Fan paid attention to the dragon king. Since they had separated, he had reached his home. As Zhou Fan looked at him, he took the lid off of the potion and poured it down his throat while in humanoid form.
As soon as he did, a major change was felt in his body. His entire genetic structure was transforming, changing nothing but his ability to reproduce.
After being bathed in a golden light for five minutes, the transformation stopped. After it, the dragon king seemed exactly the same as he was before he took the potion, but he felt much different.
As soon as he felt the feeling, he ran outside and found his wife. She was a giant butterfly supreme beast, but she too had a humanoid form. Although she didn't have the ability to reproduce, the dragon king's new genetics would bypass that problem.
It was at that point that Zhou Fan stopped watching. By the time he left seclusion, he assumed that the entire supreme beast race would have changed their ways. After all, the dragon king's genes would pass on to his children, giving them the ability to reproduce. After enough time, only the few supreme beasts that were naturally born by the world would be unable to reproduce.
The change would result in the overall quality of the supreme beast race going down, but the numbers would make up for it. It wasn't absolute that the supreme beasts born from the world would be more talented, but they would be so on average compared to the supreme beasts born by other supreme beasts.
The ability to reproduce would also change the very structure of the supreme beast race. There would likely be royal families or nobles, along with commoners and supreme beasts that only had a portion of their bloodline.
However, the increased number of supreme beasts would also give rise to new versions of bloodlines. Therefore, there would no longer only be a single dragon bloodline, but many types like fire dragons, water dragons, earth dragons, and lightning dragons, alongside weirder versions like golden flame dragons or something similar.
Luckily, it would give the Zhou solar system a much needed increase in different races. Zhou Fan even estimated that the supreme beast lands would eventually break up and things such as the dragon lands and the giant shark lands would appear. However, that would be long in the future when the Zhou solar system had changed drastically.
Now that everyone was doing their own thing, Zhou Fan was ready to do some things that he personally wanted to do. Firstly, he wanted to create a new base for himself. Although the floating palace was great, he wanted something newer. After all, it was still made out of materials from when the Zhou World was just terraformed. Despite that, Zhou Fan had never really considered upgrading it because nobody was strong enough to do anything, especially with the formations and arrays around the palace.
Even now, nobody was strong enough to do anything, but Zhou Fan still wanted a better place. Perhaps he could make it more comfortable or nicer looking, but he wouldn't completely abandon the floating palace, however, he would still change his main residence.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Fan decided that the best place would be inside the sun. More specifically, the center. Firstly, it would never be reached since the temperature of the sun increased everytime it expanded. In its current state, even a tenth level space shattering cultivator would be reduced to ashes before they got to the center.
As for a first level lesser dao creation realm cultivator, they would struggle, but would likely make it. Even if they did make it that far, they would never be able to actually enter Zhou Fans building. It would be covered in arrays at the strength of the tenth level of the lesser dao creation realm since Zhou Fan was laying them.
As for what the building would be made of, Zhou Fan would grab some materials from the center of the Zhou World, which were surprisingly still only at the tenth level of space shattering, and upgrade them to become materials at the lesser dao creation realm.
Then, he would shape them to become the building he wanted, which was a nine story pagoda. It would be red, gold and black, and be built using the basic style of a pagoda.
From the bottom to the top floor, the floor space would get smaller. Each of the floors would be enclosed beside the top floor which would have four openings and could be used as a sightseeing area, although there wasn't much to see in the sun. Luckily, Zhou Fan could easily see through it and look at the entire Zhou solar system.
After he finished planning, Zhou Fan teleported to the Zhou worlds center and took most of the materials from it since the pagoda would be fairly huge. After he did that, he used some of his Qi in order to increase the materials strength. The process only took a few minutes and Zhou Fan was ready to construct.
After teleporting to the center of the sun, Zhou Fan moved the materials to their positions with Qi and permanently colored them red and black, with a little bit of gold, mostly in the form of dragon ornaments.
Once he finished, he backed up and looked at his creation. It was definitely the greatest and most powerful building ever created. Now that he was done with constructing it, he needed to lay some formations and arrays around it.
