"Argh …"
After an unknown period of time, Fangzheng opened his eyes again.
"I'm so unlucky … What kind of sin have I committed …"
Fangzheng muttered to himself and shook his head. He felt a burning pain all over his body as though his body was being torn apart … Wait a minute? When did I grow taller?
Fangzheng opened his eyes and realized that his vision was a little off. This height … is about three to four meters!
Did I turn into a giant?
With this in mind, Fangzheng lowered his head and attempted to observe his body. However, what he saw next was a gigantic body covered in scales.
"…"
Fangzheng turned around slowly and looked behind him. What entered his sight was a pair of pitch-black, gigantic wings, a huge body, and a long tail …
Wait a minute, what the f * ck is this? What have I become?
Fangzheng hurriedly shook his body and allowed himself to stand up. Thankfully, he had pretty good control over his body. Although it was a little awkward, Fangzheng quickly got used to his strange body. Fangzheng came to the nearby pond and looked into it. After seeing the reflection, Fangzheng was completely speechless.
What appeared in the pond wasn't a human.
It had a huge mouth, and a hard shell made of black arachnid armor wrapped around both sides of its head like a knight's helmet. A pair of huge, reptilian-like golden eyes revealed a deep and mysterious aura.
Two sharp horns extended backward and curved at the top. Scales the size of a tower shield covered its enormous body like a scale armor. The wings that stretched out on both sides of its back weren't similar to a bat's, but more like a bird's wings. However, the parts that should have been covered by feathers were now covered with scales that were as hard and slender as blades. A tail that was several meters long coiled around its body like a snake. At the tip of the tail, there was a sharp needle like a pointer.
Alright, no matter how you look at it, it's a dragon.
"…"
Looking at this scene, Fangzheng was completely speechless.
What's going on? Am I really not a human anymore?
Fangzheng felt that his current state was actually the [Perfect Body]'s' awakened 'state. In the past, he had a demon-like appearance after awakening. But now …
His body seemed to be more than ten times bigger! Fangzheng roughly estimated that his current body was at least ten meters long!
What the hell is this?
Thinking of this, Fangzheng hurriedly called out the System. Indeed, he was surprised to find that on the Dimensional Codex's System, an update notification was flashing in front of him.

I see!
After reading the system prompt, Fangzheng finally understood what was going on. The 'Eye of Nature' contained a dragon bloodline called the 'Time Dragon' while Fangzheng possessed the ability of 'Time Manipulation'. Perhaps these two abilities resonated, which resulted in this change. In order to absorb this bloodline, one would need an extremely powerful fusion ability. That was why the bug race's' Gene Absorption 'was specifically pointed out and put to use.
That was why it ended up like this.
But after absorbing the bloodline of the Time Dragon, Fangzheng gained a lot of knowledge about the Time Dragon. Due to that reason, he finally understood what the 'Eye of Nature' was all about.
It turned out that it was really the eye of a Time Dragon!
Fangzheng's inherited memories from the dragon race told him that the Time Dragon was a very special dragon race. Their connection with time was rather weak, so much so that they could completely transcend the flow of time and live in the concrete form of time. They possessed the power to freely manipulate and control time and could grow stronger as they grew.
Not only that, but the way the Time Dragon grew was also different from other dragons.
The other dragons would find a place and sleep for hundreds or thousands of years. During this process, they would gradually grow and become bigger. They would grow from a baby dragon to a baby dragon and then into an adult dragon.
But the Time Dragon was different.
It started with its dragon breath.
All dragons had their own dragon breath, but the Time Dragon's dragon breath was particularly different. Its dragon breath was divided into two types. One was the 'Plunder Breath', and the other was the 'Banish Breath'.
To be honest, after Fangzheng sensed these two talents, he found that his previous development of the time ability was simply at the kindergarten level.
First, let's talk about the 'Plunder Breath'. This was a very terrifying dragon breath. When the Time Dragon aimed at the target and spat out the dragon breath, the time of the target enveloped by the dragon breath would be plundered by the Time Dragon (1 year x the age of the Time Dragon). In other words, if the Time Dragon was one year old, then the creature enveloped by the Plunder Breath would lose one year of time, and this one year of time would be absorbed by the Time Dragon.
On the other hand, if the Time Dragon was one hundred years old, then the creature enveloped by the Plunder Breath would instantly lose one hundred years of time.
Therefore, this meant that once the unlucky creature was enveloped by the Time Dragon's Plunder Breath, it would not only face -1S, but at least -1Y!
On the other hand, the 'Banished Breath' was equally terrifying. It would banish the target creature from the time in front of them and they would only be able to return after the time was up. In other words, if Fangzheng didn't want to see someone for two hours, he could release the 'Banished Breath' and that person wouldn't exist in this world for two hours. They would only reappear after two hours.
What was worse was that these two dragon breaths couldn't be resisted and immunized! This also meant that unless the enemy had some kind of powerful artifact or magical item that could isolate and protect them, they would have to wait obediently for Fangzheng's -1Y, -1Y, -1Y …
And it was the special characteristics of the Time Dragon's breath that determined its unique growth method. Once the Time Dragon obtained enough time through the 'Plunder Breath', it could find a place to consume the 'plundered' time to grow as if it had accumulated enough money to buy ten consecutive times. More importantly, due to the weak connection between the Time Dragon and time, time couldn't bind it to grow step by step, which led to its growth being completely 'random'.
Just like buying ten consecutive times, if the Time Dragon was unlucky, it would at most 'guarantee' success and grow from a young dragon to an infant dragon.
But if its dragon grade exploded, a young dragon could possibly grow into an adult dragon, ancient dragon, ancient dragon, or even immemorial dragon after one round of growth!
This was simply too strong!
Fangzheng didn't expect there to be such an unreasonable dragon in this world. Growth depended on luck? How did that work?
And as a dragon, the Time Dragon also had its own dragon prestige and talent ability, which was the 'Dragon Language Surge'.
The Dragon Language Surge allowed a Time Dragon to borrow time from the future once a day. This wasn't a borrowing like 'Time Stop', but a real increase in time. In other words, for an ordinary person, there were only 24 hours in a day, but for Fangzheng, he could have 48 hours in a day. And these 48 hours weren't fake time, but real time.
As for the 'Eyes of Nature' ability, after obtaining the knowledge of the Time Dragon, Fangzheng also knew what was going on.
The Time Dragon could travel through the flow of time at will, which also meant that it could arbitrarily intercept any time period and project it into this world. And if the Time Dragon was willing, it could directly take action and transform this' undetermined 'time period into a' reality 'that truly existed here.
Of course, this was a power that only the immemorial Time Dragon had. And Fangzheng finally understood why he couldn't use the Eyes of Nature, but the Dragon Lich could.
The reason was very simple. He wasn't a dragon, but although the Dragon Lich had transformed into a Lich, it was still a dragon!
Even though the Dragon Lich wasn't a Time Dragon and couldn't fully utilize the Time Dragon's power, as a dragon of the same species, it could at least drive a portion of it, which was why the strange Bay of Dead Souls appeared.
As for the talent ability [Dependents Transformation], it was also a great power for Fangzheng. Its essence was to use the Time Dragon's power to manipulate time and inject 10,000 hours of time into a designated weak being's body. In other words, it allowed the other party to instantly gain the power of 'evolution' and 'cultivation' for 10,000 hours. And as this power was dominated by the Time Dragon's aura, the other party would also become its dependents.
For Fangzheng, this was meaningful because according to the Time Dragon's memories, dependents were created directly through the bloodline. And in turn, this also meant that the dependents wouldn't occupy Fangzheng's summoning slots, but would instead become Fangzheng's true servants. For Fangzheng, who lacked manpower, if he could create a few dependents, it would be a great choice.
"Alright, no matter what, this power is great. But the problem is …"
Fangzheng shook his head and wagged his tail.
He already knew that the Time Dragon was powerful, but for Fangzheng, there was a more important problem.
His' power of time 'wasn't enough, so he couldn't transform back.
"I need to find a place and plunder the power of time …"
The Time Dragon's memories in Fangzheng's head told him that his current bloodline power was only at the level of a fledgling dragon. At the very least, he would need to become a fledgling dragon before he could return to his human form. So, where should he go to plunder the power of time?
The main world … definitely not the way. As for the free world … not the Shana world, not the Predator world. Fangzheng wasn't strong enough to fly in the universe yet, nor did he have the ability to resist battleships with his body. Not to mention the cries of the cicadas and the dark souls … And now, there was still a long time before the next world unfolded, so all that was left was …
"That's the only way."
Fangzheng gazed at the Dimensional Codex in front of him. It wasn't time to unseal the dimensional world yet. And among the three worlds of 'mind, technique, and body', the cries of cicadas of 'mind' and the dark souls of 'technique' weren't suitable, so all that was left was the 'body' world that Fangzheng hadn't been to before.
I hope this world will allow me to plunder enough power of time.
At this thought, Fangzheng sighed helplessly and clicked on the button for the 'body world'.
