Chapter 6
Black scales were distributed on the huge dragon’s body in a wave manner resembling tree rings.
It was filled with a mysterious and unique aura.
The dragon-shaped phantom smiled meaningfully at Garen. Then, it swung its tail and transformed into a white light that instantly shrunk and entered his body.
At the same time, the magic crystal in Garen’s body seemed to have experienced a long time in this short moment and disappeared.
The magic wave also completely fused into Garen’s body, increasing his foundation.
At the same time, a large amount of new knowledge appeared in Garen’s mind like the inheritance of a dragon, as if he had always known it.
The River of Time… the time ability, Time Dragon Reversal… The future him lent some time to his current him…
Garen stared blankly at the disappearing dragon shadow, the cold wind that had begun to whistle again, and the falling snow and ice crystals. A realization immediately arose in his heart, and his mood rose and fell like a roller coaster.
It turns out that I’m a Time Dragon in White Dragon skin.
Or rather, he was a pseudo-Time Dragon.
In the records of the dragon’s inheritance, not to mention those dragon beasts and subspecies with many races, there were 15 common True Dragons in the main material plane, which was the plane that Garen was in.
There were selfish, violent, chaotic, ferocious, and cruel evil dragons, also called colored dragons. They were the Red Dragon, Blue Dragon, Green Dragon, Black Dragon, and White Dragon.
The noble and kind good dragons respected by the righteous faction were also called the metal dragons. According to the ranking of strength, there were five types: the Golden Dragon, the Silver Dragon, the Brass Dragon, the Bronze Dragon, and the Copper Dragon. Among them, the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon were the noblest and strongest. They were usually gathered in the dragon lairs and dragon cities. The other three were mostly living in the sand sea, the bottom of water bodies, and yellow mountains.
In addition, there were also the five types of gem dragons who remained neutral between evil and justice. Amethyst Dragon, Crystal Dragon, Jade Dragon, Sapphire Dragon, and Topaz Dragon. These gem dragons were very intelligent and had relatively gentle personalities. They generally did not like to participate in battles.
Red Dragon, Blue Dragon, Green Dragon, Black Dragon, and White Dragon.
Golden Dragon, Silver Dragon, Brass Dragon, Bronze Dragon, and Copper Dragon.
Amethyst Dragon, Crystal Dragon, Jade Dragon, Sapphire Dragon, and Topaz Dragon.
The above 15 types were the most common True Dragons.
Apart from that, there were also many other rare True Dragons, such as the Pivotal Dragon, the Heaven Dragon, the Calamity Dragon, and so on.
These kinds of dragons sounded ruthless at first glance but were fewer in number and difficult to find.
There were also the last three special dragons. They were so rare that it was unimaginable. Even including the planes outside the main material plane that had endless worlds isolated by the crystal wall, it was unknown if there were more than ten of them in existence.
They were the Force Dragon, the Rainbow Dragon, and the Time Dragon that could breathe time, devour time, and pass through the past, present, and future. In the end, it could even become eternal like time itself.
They were called legendary dragons.
Under the circumstances of natural breeding, these dragons were extremely powerful at birth. They were almost at the top of the food chain. Those with strength below the gods were called legendary creatures.
However, because they were extremely rare, the chance of natural reproduction was only one in a billion.
The greatest probability of birth was still through mutation.
Among the three legendary dragons, the Time Dragon was sometimes called the Calendar Dragon, the Epoch Dragon, the Eternal Dragon, and so on. At the same time, it was considered the rarest and strongest legendary dragon.
Garen digested the new information in his mind. With the help of the reflection of the ice crystals on the wall, he carefully examined the ring of black scales on his neck.
In Garen’s eyes, this ring of black scales was no longer only a useless decoration like a necklace. At this moment, it was filled with a different meaning.
A ring might symbolize returning to the origin of all things, or it might represent the ring of time. It was one of the classic symbols of time.
He was a Time Dragon.
He was unable to become a legend at birth, but because he was a mutated dragon, his growth potential was extremely high. The upper limit was slightly higher than ordinary Time Dragons, and he had the power of frost that belonged to the White Dragon.
“No wonder I’m so much larger than Hill. Even the Red Dragon, the leader of the evil dragons, is not as large as me when born.”
Garen took a deep breath and could not help but feel a little excited.
As long as he became an adult dragon, he would be one of the creatures at the top of the food chain. The premise was not to be reckless and not to provoke those more terrifying existences.
Not to mention those high and mighty gods, just legendary humans, demon lords, and devil kings all had the ability to kill dragons.
The White Dragon, who was considered weak among the dragons, should be even more careful.
In this world that was filled with danger, less than a tenth of the White Dragons could live to adulthood. There were many examples of them dying from accidents in hunting, from the dragon’s arrogance, and also from human adventurers who sought to slay dragons.
Even if he became an adult, before he lived long enough, he was far from being able to dominate an area.
As for the Time Dragon, it was completely different.
The difference between the Time Dragon and the White Dragon was like the difference between an adult dragon and an ordinary human.
An adult Time Dragon had the qualifications to speak to the gods equally.
“A mutated Time Dragon… As long as I can grow up, perhaps I can become a Dragon God, or even a Main God of the dragon species!”
“No, the goal is greater. I need to work hard and become the god above the gods!”
Garen felt that his body seemed to have become much lighter. It was a little light as he wantonly imagined an endless future.
No matter what creature it was, the moment it was born, the future had endless possibilities. However, as it made choices continuously, the path narrowed, and these possibilities slowly decreased. In the end, they returned to nothingness.
At this moment, Garen, who had just been born in the Northern Ice Fields, had endless possibilities.
Next, it would depend on his choice.
Crack!
Garen suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself. His first choice was to stabilize his mind.
“What am I talking about? Staying alive is the way to go!”
“No matter how strong my potential is, I have to survive first! Those gods who have lived for millions of years are not to be trifled with. If I’m not careful, I’ll be turned into a toy…”
Once the identity of the Time Dragon was exposed, many gods would definitely be eager to capture Garen.
He did not want his skin and tendons to be skinned and turned into a time-type divine artifact, or his soul to be extracted and snatched from his body, or his soul to be enslaved and turned into a puppet that could not resist.
Therefore, it was best to develop silently.
Garen’s dragon eyes flickered and he quickly formulated a growth plan for himself.
The plan was very simple. He would survive in the Northern Ice Fields until he was a hundred years old.
When he became an adult, he would probably have the power of a normal Time Dragon. He might even be stronger because of his special body.
“The path has to be taken step by step. Set a small goal first and live to adulthood.”
Dragons became adults at the age of a hundred. It sounded like a long time, but as long as there was enough food and a safe environment, they could eat and sleep. A hundred years would pass quickly.
Due to the harsh and cold geographical environment, the Northern Ice Fields also had another name, Cold Desolate Desert.
As the name implied, it meant that there were few people in the cold desert. There were fewer species of creatures, and only a portion of creatures with cold resistance barely survived.
However, to Garen, as long as he stabilized himself, it was a good place to grow.
The only flaw was probably that the food resources were not abundant.
