Chapter 1931: Dragon Eye
"I am thinking about transmuting this eye to become your third eye. This is the only payment I can think of."
"A third eye?" Nathan looked surprised. He certainly didn’t expect this kind of deal.
Catalith nodded. "The dragon eyes are special. After all, the dragons are beings who are said to have mutated the most. You may not know this, but there is a history behind this. It’s called the theory of evolution.
"In the past, the lizard race was trying to grow stronger, but they were unable to reach the peak. So, they transmuted themselves until they grew a pair of wings. Thus, the dragon race was born.
"When the lizard race was trying to leave in the sea, they transmuted themselves to match the sea. As a result, the Naga race was born.
"The same applies to humans. There used to be humans who wished to reach the pinnacle of transmutation and lost their humanity. In the end, their ears became long and pointy. Their affinity with nature had increased. They are now called elves."
"That’s an angle I haven’t explored yet." Nathan looked up, thinking. It was actually possible. "Don’t tell me, people who lived in the mountains transmuted themselves and turned into dwarves?"
"Oh, my. As expected, you have a dazzling intellect." Catalith smiled. "It’s easier to dig if the holes are small. So, in the past, humans made their bodies smaller.
"When the transmutation was done for one or two generations, it wouldn’t be enough to create something new. However, when that transmutation continued for tens of generations, you would start to see the difference. After a few thousand years, more and more races were born."
Nathan looked down, contemplating. "So, this prejudice about humans..."
"I don’t exactly have any prejudice. In a way, people are looking down upon humans because humans, which are the base form of so many races, have failed to evolve. Elves, dwarves, and other races that derived from humans can be called beings who have evolved to a higher level."
"..." Nathan crossed his arms. "I can’t exactly deny it."
"However, I know that humans can also grow just fine. The fact that many races were born from them meant they were the most flexible and adaptive."
"Indeed. They could be anything." Nathan nodded. "So, about this dragon eye... Am I going to become a half-dragon or something? I don’t exactly want to change my race."
Nathan had read many stories, especially cultivation stories where the main characters ended up possessing dragon bloodlines, phoenix bloodlines, or any other bloodlines.
He thought it would be cool to remain as a human. Besides, he couldn’t imagine inheriting that bloodline to his children. If Selena or the others ended up carrying a child with a different bloodline, would an egg suddenly come out? Would a real dragon come out? If it were the latter, wouldn’t their bodies get destroyed by the scales, spikes, or claws their children had?
At the same time, he was also quite worried about his children. If Risa, Brunhild, Charlotte, Mae, and a few others carried his child, he wondered what would happen to them as well. Of course, he needed to make sure they were fully revived first before he started panicking.
Nevertheless, he tried to remain pure as a human since he wanted to have less headache.
Catalith waved her hand, calming him down. "Don’t worry. As I said, if it’s just one or two generations, it won’t matter. In addition, this won’t change your bloodline at all.
"Instead, it will feel like a protesthic, a very real protesthic. So, it won’t alter your bloodline.
"Besides, the dragon eye will be quite useful for you. The dragon is said to be able to see the flow of energy. I mean, not in the way you see right now.
"You can probably see the flow of energy in my body, right? Even if you can’t, you should be able to sense them."
Nathan confirmed. "I can see it to a certain extent."
"The dragon eye can actually decipher them. For example, the speed, the flow, the direction, and all other things. That’s just one of their abilities.
"This one is the Red Dragon God Eye. It possesses a unique ability... The reason the Red Dragon God is known as the strongest in the world is because of his eyes. His eyes can control energy.
"For example, if you gather energy like this..." Catalith raised her hand and gathered the energy on her palm. "...the amount of energy will be limited to how much you can control. However, by using the Red Dragon God’s eye, that power will be at least doubled. In other words, it will allow you to use your power twice as strong."
"And the Red Dragon God gave an eye to you?"
"Yeah. I pretty much saved his life. Even with only one eye, he’s still the strongest, but yeah..."
Nathan looked down, contemplating. His instinct was to accept this. It would definitely improve his strength.
At the same time, he wondered if this would be safe.
After some thoughts, Nathan decided to proceed with it. "Understood. Let’s use that as an additional payment for the technique."
He was worried, but he could worry about it once he defeated the black cell. Besides, there was a high chance it wouldn’t harm him or alter his future, so he chose to drop that thought.
"Very well. Let’s go outside and transmute it into your forehead immediately. Your eyes look special as well. I wonder what you can see..." She smiled.
"Your eyes look special as well." Nathan chuckled and snapped his fingers. "Let me bring you outside."
They abruptly disappeared from the room.
"Oh?! The space law?" Catalith was surprised. "This is the first time I’ve seen something like this. You don’t transmute the law. Instead, you wield it..."
"Yeah." Nathan nodded. "Shall we begin?"
"Sure."
Anubis warned him. "I will be watching all the time. If it’s something harmful to your body, I will immediately stop it."
"Thanks." Nathan smiled.
Catalith then released her tremendous power as she placed the dragon eye in front of his forehead.
