809 Chapter 809:- Three Evolutions
"What are we looking for?" Rin asked while walking beside him. At this moment, they were on one of the many floors in this base.
It has been close to 10 minutes since the beginning of searching for each floor.
They started from the very bottom floor to avoid any confusion or getting lost on any of the floors.
All the floors in this base look 99.9% identical. This made it extremely easy even for cultivators to get lost in this place. And with their senses limited there was no way for them to know exactly where they were. This also made it easier for them to get lost so the best option for them was to begin from the very bottom floor and continue their search all the way to the top floor.
"I'm surprised that you haven't guessed it." He said without looking at her. Seeing his doubtful look, she felt a little bit annoyed. She playfully pinched his left arm.
"You Dummy!!!"
"How would I know what you are looking for?" Since he was the emperor of the biggest empire in the six continents, she naturally ruled out the possibility of him looking for any kind of gold or rare materials. Besides, without being able to use a storage ring in this pocket dimension, it was nearly impossible to take everything from this place. That is, unless he openly carried everything out of the portal, which would mean the possibility of a lot of things being exposed to the public.
And from what she knew about his character, he isn't the type of person who would want to show off or reveal too much information about his private life. "I am obviously looking for rewards." This wasn't the response she expected from him, and she was stunned.
"You are not looking for gold, are you?" Rin gave him a suspicious side glance.
"Yup!!" Aditya nodded with a big and bright smile.
"But why, though?" She looked puzzled. She wondered if he really lacked Gold coins. " I can't possibly think of anything the Dragon Monarch lacks."
"My dear, you might never have heard of this before, so let me tell you now. My other name is The Plunderer."
"Whenever I have defeated my opponent or conquered a new empire, I have always made sure to clean their treasure vault. I am going to do the same here and bring everything back to the treasure vault of the Dragon Palace." Aditya wasn't lying. From the beginning of his journey, he has always done this.
He had done this even when he was a politician in his previous life. However, taking another person's wealth is much more complex in his first world. "I don't want anybody to take the fruits of my heart work." "Are you really that poor?" Rin did not understand his obsession with cleaning other people's treasure vaults.
"I am not poor. The goddess of wealth is my future wife."
"There is no way that the future husband of the goddess of wealth is a poor man."
"I think you have misunderstood something."
Aditya tapped his head with his index finger and continued. "It's all about mindset." "Yes, I may not be a poor person, but that also does not mean that I am going to leave everything valuable in this place behind for someone else to enjoy. Besides, wealth is the only thing that does not go to waste."
"Whether it's today or tomorrow, you will always find some kind of use of your wealth."
"One of the reasons why the Istarin Empire was able to grow this much within such a short span of time is because of the fact that I always made sure to clean my defeated opponents' treasure vault."
"Besides, I hate seeing a dirty treasure vault." "…Rin!!
What else can she say after hearing all of this?
"Also, this place has held you hostage for more than three years now. I have a feeling that the history of this place goes way beyond just three years or even just a few decades. This means this entire base is filled with many valuable things." Hearing this, she finally understood why he wanted to look around this base. "It would be huge if we left decades, if not centuries, worth of research work in this place. I don't care about a few million or even a few hundred million gold coins. To me, that research information is way more valuable."
Rin nodded her head but then interrupted him and asked.
"Are you sure you don't want those few hundred million gold coins?"
"If you don't want them, then I don't mind donating them to the other clans." Hearing this, Aditya's eye twitched. The seven or any of the clans will be the last people he would ever think of donating money to.
'If I was so concerned with donating, then I wouldn't have looted billions of gold coins worth of Anti-Gravity Crystals.' "Who said I don't want them? I want everything."
Hearing his shameless tone, Rin again was left speechless. "You really have a thick skin, you know that?" He just laughed at her words. "What can I say? Dragons love shiny and valuable objects. As the Dragon Monarch, I love building my wealth."
Rin gave him a side-eye and said in a monotonous tone. "You know it's not true!!" "This is only true in the case of Wild Baby Dragons. As Dragon Matures, they lose interest in shiny objects."
Rin was getting tired of this topic, so she quickly changed it by asking him something else.
"By the way, when did you awaken your Divine Bloodline?" Rin asked in a curious tone. "I did not just directly awaken Divine Bloodline. Rather, my bloodline slowly evolved." Hearing this, Rin became even more interested. "Now that's interesting."
Hearing her comment, he felt that her experience might have been different. "What was your experience?"
"I was already born with a rare Dragon Bloodline. Around three and half years back, I managed to evolve by awakening the dormant Divine Bloodline in my body."
"You had dormant Divine Blood in your body?" Aditya looked like he had no clue about this. "Yeah!!" "You didn't know?" Rin asked. He shook his head with a puzzled look. Hearing this, her lips curved up. She finally saw that this was her opportunity to tease him. "How are you, the Dragon Monarch, if you don't have such basic knowledge?" Out of nowhere, she took out a folding fan and used it to cover her lower face. "I guess you're still too immature to assume the title of the Dragon Monarch." "Little Dragon, why don't you become my student? I will teach you everything about Dragons." Aditya was having a very hard time not showing any expression. He felt his facial muscles twitching. "Just tell me!!" "Alright!! Since you have requested this nicely, I can't keep silent." 'When did I request you?' But he did not say it out loud as he was very interested in her explanation. He feared that his comment might make both of them distracted. "Let me explain."
"For me, I was extremely lucky. My Rare Bloodline was really pure, and I was able to use an ancient treasure that I found in one of my expeditions. This ancient treasure increases my chances of awakening my Dormant Divine Dragon." 11:28
"Every Dragon that has rare Bloodline in their body has about 00.1% or maybe even less percentage traces of dormant Divine Blood within their bodies."
"This percentage can vary depending upon how rare the Dragon Bloodline is." "The Higher the percentage of dormant Divine Bloodline, the higher the chances of a Dragon awakening their dormant Divine Blood." "For me, I was extremely lucky. My Rare Bloodline was really pure, and I was able to use an ancient treasure that I found in one of my expeditions. This ancient treasure increases my chances of awakening my Dormant Divine Dragon." "In the end, I managed to become the first Divine Dragon of this era." "I wasn't able to hide my Aura when I was evolving. Some people managed to learn that a Divine Dragon was born."
"And these people were the first ones to find me." "When I came to the Stardawn, I fell right into the trap and got myself captured." "To be honest, now that I look back, they manipulated everything." In the end, she looked very sad. She saw her transformation to a Divine Dragon more like a curse as it took away her entire family. She lost everything that she had. But this was also what allowed her to meet him. Otherwise, she might never have met or fallen for him. "On my 3rd evolution, I awakened my Divine Bloodline and became the Dragon Monarch." Hearing his words, she suddenly stopped walking. "What happened?" He was confused. "You went through 3 evolutions?" Rin asked with a look of shock. "Yes!!!" "Do you have any idea that you are the first person in the history of this world who has managed to evolve his Dragon Bloodline three times?" "I didn't know it was such a big deal." This also kind of explains Watson and Julia's initial reaction. ----------------
