Bab 30: A Good Father
--- Chapter 29 ---
After passing the second trial, Hayate stared at the Dragon God's eyes solemnly.
"Only that?" He frowned at the divine beast.
Hayate listened to Miracle of Life's history and was greatly disappointed by the lack of information.
Not to mention Dragon God couldn't give coherent information about the other part of Miracle of Life, which Hayate needed the most.
"W-Well, I can't do anything about it." Dragon God responded with a cough. "It's been a long time since I knew such information."
"I'm also only a residual part of True Primordial Azure Dragon."
Hayate sighed inside and wondered what he did even expect from this perverted dragon in the first place.
He reflected at Chu Yuechan and Little Ghost, who lay quietly on the ground, and said, "Whatever, just give me the blood."
"I'm just hoping your blood doesn't turn me into a pervert." He added, which left Dragon God speechless.
Dragon God has never seen such a disrespectful inheritor like Hayate. Even in the divine realm, people would use their wealth and family heirlooms to get a drop of his blood.
One drop of Dragon God's blood was more than enough to make the entire Divine Realm crazy. The value is even higher than a middle-star realm.
Nevertheless, Dragon Clan in the higher realm most likely gets a hand on the blood first because they inherently were connected to Dragon God.
Dragon God Realm was known to be the strongest Royal Star Rank Realm.
However, Hayate blatantly commented on Dragon God's blood like it has a curse inside it. Even Jasmine, who stayed inside Hayate's inner world, was speechless.
Dragon God wants to counter Hayate's statement, but no words come out of his nonexistent mouth. He could only sigh inside because this was his fault.
"Since you've proven your innate talent, willpower, and character." Dragon God declared calmly. "I'll bestow upon you my bloodline."
"No one ever possessed my bloodline besides my daughter."
"Which means you'll become my only true inheritor."
Dragon God's eyes blinked and continued, "I'll grant you 12 drops of blood, Dragon God Marrow, and Dragon God Soul."
Hayate watched twelve drops of blood appear in the air and slowly approached him like he was a magnet. He shook his head and opened his palm to receive them.
Unlike Phoenix Bloods, Dragon God's blood contained more noticeable power. Hayate has to close his eyes and start to meditate.
[Mystic Art of Body Cultivation] activated and gradually matched Dragon God's blood with everlasting vigor. Hayate's breathing became slower and slower, making everything around him perceivable.
Hayate could sense everything within a 30 meters radius. He felt like he was floating in a sea of clouds for a moment, which caused him to enter a dream state.
Chu Yuechan suddenly finished her third trial at such weird timing. She has a serene pair of eyes and views everything differently now.
In the third trial of characters, Chu Yuechan did not only go through her most pleasant memory but also her life goal.
Chu Yuechan's goal was to become stronger at first, but then she was asked who wanted she to protect?
Chu Yuechan and Chu Yueli actually were picked by the mistress of Frozen Cloud Asgard in the past, which made her grateful and want to please her back.
It's a simple question because Frozen Cloud Asgard's mistress already treated her as a daughter and disciple. She raised Chu Yuechan and her sister to what they are right now.
Of course, Chu Yuechan answered for her teacher, which wasn't wrong, but she had a change of heart in this place.
A very distinct change. Chu Yuechan destroyed her frozen heart and stepped onto unknown territory because a young man made her fall in love for the first time.
It's a long and confusing session of questioning herself, but Chu Yuechan answered she wanted to become stronger for Hayate in the end.
Chu Yuechan desired to protect Hayate, not be guarded by him, and stayed behind his back.
The Fairy of Frozen Beauty doesn't care if the entire world is Hayate's enemy. She will stand beside him bravely and protect him from any harm.
A beautiful smile appeared on Chu Yuechan's face when Hayate entered her sight. She observed every part of his looks with a dreamy look.
Dragon God approached her and said, "I see you accepted yourself now."
"Yes." Chu Yuechan's expression becomes cold again.
Dragon God was confused and amazed by her sudden change of emotion but decided to ignore it for now.
He made six drops of blood appear and pushed them to Chu Yuechan.
"You shall absorb these drops of blood and gain more strength for your future goal." Dragon God declared naturally. "Still, as we had discussed before, you should do the deed with him to completely absorb the blood."
Chu Yuechan's cheeks gained a subtle redness, and she looked back at Hayate nervously.
"I-I can't do it..." She replied silently.
Jasmine, who heard their conversations, couldn't help but frown and muttered, "Dragon God truly is a pervert."
"At least that woman still has shame." She added with a sigh.
Dragon God's eyes blinked in confusion and questioned Chu Yuechan, "Didn't you tell me you would do anything?"
Chu Yuechan bit her lips and hatefully stared at the Dragon God because it was true. She did say that when feeling frustrated a few hours ago.
'I don't want Hayate to hate me.' She thought solemnly.
"Well, if you say so, I won't force you." Dragon God sighed in defeat.
Chu Yuechan suddenly saw the six drops of blood entering her palm, making her feel weird. She breathed heavily and sensed raw energy rolling inside her body.
She tried to resist this weird sensation with her Profound Cloud Arts, but her heart violently pounded when seeing Hayate again.
'Wake up, Hayate!' Jasmine screamed from the inner world.
Chu Yuechan lifted her body from the ground and gradually walked to Hayate.
She was about to reach Hayate's hair, but a cold sensation quickly woke her up. Her eyes gained some clarity.
"What's this, Dragon God?" Hayate frowned while opening his eyes.
He watched Chu Yuechan, who was about to open her clothes, and moved his gaze to Dragon God.
"W-What?" Dragon God dodged Hayate's gaze.
He coughed and cluelessly continued, "Ehem, I don't know what you're talking about?"
Chu Yuechan suddenly hugged Hayate and whispered, "Let me hug you for 5 minutes."
"No," Hayate replied indifferently and pushed her away, but Chu Yuechan didn't budge and locked her arm around him.
Chu Yuechan released a soft moan and felt Hayate's warmth washing her body.
Even though they weren't doing anything and basically just hugging each other, a synergy actually was created between their Frozen Cloud Arts.
Hayate learned Frozen Cloud Art from Chu Yueli in the past and rarely used it because Ice Profound Art isn't his thing.
He preferred to use brute strength and Kaiju Cores to defeat his enemy.
"I'll help you-," Hayate commented with a sigh but was disturbed by Chu Yuechan's sudden kiss.
Chu Yuechan's eyes were peaceful, but her body wasn't. She is undoubtedly affected by Dragon God's blood instinct to breed with a strong mate.
She kissed Hayate quite wildly though she didn't have any prior experience.
Hayate pressed her abdomen area with his hand and flowed his profound energy to make her sober.
Their kisses lasted for exactly five minutes, and Chu Yuechan gradually could control her body again.
'H-How indecent.' Jasmine whispered while blushing a little.
Chu Yuechan stared at Hayate's golden eyes and felt her knees becoming weak.
"I-I'm sorry, I'm not being myself for a moment." She said nervously.
"It's not your fault," Hayate replied while staring at the Dragon God.
He gave Chu Yuechan a complex look and shook his head because he couldn't think about anything right now.
After Hayate fused with Dragon God's blood, he broke into the third stage of [Mystic Art of Body Cultivation], gaining a state called [True Essence].
He also obtained the ability to purify one's body and soul with Light Profound Strength, which he applied to Chu Yuechan a moment ago.
Dragon God's Blood did stimulate Hayate's body, and when Chu Yuechan hugged him, he was on the verge of losing control.
Kaiju Creation obviously won't let such a thing happen and nullified it after five minutes.
"Fairy Chu, let's pretend nothing happened," Hayate commented while gently pushing her away.
Chu Yuechan nodded her head and looked at the ground. "I'll compensate you later." She replied without moving her gaze.
"Three tyrant beast cores, Netherworld Udumbara Flower, and 35 kilos of Purple Veined Divine Crystal, I'll try my best to get them." She added calmly.
.
.
"It's up to you," Hayate's steps halted for a second.
"You've paid me back by protecting Little Ghost from any harm."
"Just don't be reckless and attack a tyrant profound beast right on."
He walked to Dragon God and sneered, "To think, The Dragon God would use such a trick, how shameful."
"You're a pervert, after all."
"I'm not..." Dragon God denied with a gloomy tone.
Hayate crossed his arm and continued, "Anyway, you said there are two more rewards, right?"
"Aih, I'm not regretting my words." Dragon God said sincerely. "I just want to see my blood passed down to the next generation."
A transparent mystical liquid materialized in front of Hayate and entered his body, changing his bones and marrow.
"Dragon God Marrow has a miraculous effect on your body."
"It makes the bones like fine steel and the marrow like an impregnable fortress."
"Your blood and stamina would recover even faster. It will also give regenerative capabilities. The marrow will continuously generate new genuine dragon blood."
"Dragon God Marrow increases your Dragon God's bloodline even in sleep. It drastically forms and improves your True Dragon body."
"Hmm?" Dragon God frowned at Hayate's condition.
Kacha! Crack!
Hayate gritted his teeth because [Mystic Art of Body Cultivation] rejected Dragon God Marrow. He clenched his fist and waited for Kaiju Creation to settle things down.
"Tch." He could feel his entire bones were about to break.
Hayate calmed himself and watched Kaiju Creation miraculously fuse Dragon God Marrow with his body without getting troubled by his profound art's rejection.
"How amazing. Does Li Suo's inheritance help you fuse the marrow perfectly?" Dragon God asked curiously.
"No, it's something else," Hayate answered indifferently. "Also, it's not Li Suo's inheritance."
"It's a profound art I created by myself."
"I only use the knowledge from the so-called Miracle of Life as a foundation."
"You created a profound art..." Dragon God's eyes widened.
"Don't tell me you also improvised World Ode of the Phoenix yourself?"
Hayate nodded, and Dragon God could only silently stare in disbelief.
"Maybe this is fate." Dragon God whispered with a hopeful tone.
"Hayate, can you help me?"
"I'm not doing any perverted request from you," Hayate answered immediately.
"..." Dragon God.
''..." Jasmine.
Dragon God laughed wryly and said, "Haha... Don't worry, it's not a perverted request."
"I only want you to find Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword."
First among the seven mysterious heavenly treasures. The Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword is the highest level of existence within the bounds of the Primal Chaos and possesses the most extreme energy of all. It could easily slaughter even powerful beings like True Gods and True Devils.
It was the first sword to exist in the primordial universe, the progenitor of the weapons of the world. It ranks first among the seven mysterious heavenly treasures and has a great power that can go against the natural order of things.
Even if it falls into the hands of a mortal, that mortal will still be able to slaughter True Gods and Smite the Heavens easily.
"I know my request is shameless, but for someone who possessed true gods' inheritances," Dragon God said naturally. "I'm sure you truly were destined for this."
"Is there a reason you want me to find this sword?" Hayate returned calmly.
Dragon God's eyes blinked and replied, "My daughter is actually sealed within Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword."
"She probably was lonely for years without being able to do anything."
"This is my selfish request as Dragon God... No, as a father."
"I hope you can grant it."
"Even if you took thousands of years, please find my daughter."
Hayate observed Dragon God's azure eyes and sensed a genuine feeling from his words.
"Okay, I'll try to find her," Hayate answered, to which Dragon God responded with a nonexistent smile.
"I'll grant you Dragon God Soul, making you the only one who possesses it in this era." Dragon God declared while releasing his soul essence.
"The Dragon God's Soul will refine your spirit and soul, giving you powerful mental strength far surpassing that of ordinary humans. Your soul will also gain the attribute of the Dragon God from this"
Dragon God placed five drops of blood above Little Ghost's body. "Ah, yes… The young lady has passed the third trial but she needs a few minutes to wake up." He continued, to which Hayate responded with a nod.
Dragon God let his residual soul essence enter Hayate's soul and sacrificed himself for him. A raw sphere appeared on Hayate's palm.
"At least you're still a good father." He commented while looking at the small azure marble in his hand.
