Awakening The Only SSS-Rank Class! Now Even Dragons Obey Me Chapter 707: System Is Dangerous?

The Ancient Dragon hesitated before answering. It stared intently at Daniel, as though deliberating on the proper way to reply to his query.

"Divinity is the domain of gods, not a possession for mortals. Demi Gods can only shape imperfect forms of it, yet they cannot perfect it without ascending to true godhood."

"However, my Lord, your unique race grants you a fully formed Divinity from the start. And that's precisely the issue at hand. Within the mortal realm, there's simply no method to enhance the strength of Divinity."

"Should you seek the standard route, it's straightforward yet profoundly challenging. Hunt down Divine Fruits and fuse them into your own Divinity. That's how gods achieve greater power," the Ancient Dragon elaborated.

"Divine Fruits? Does that mean they aren't found in this realm? In essence, am I stuck without a way to advance?" Daniel's brow furrowed. Such tidings offered little comfort.

The notion that his journey toward growth might halt had never occurred to him. Yet upon reflection, it carried a certain logic.

If divine beings could bolster their might in mortal planes, what purpose would Ascension serve? This held especially true in eras long past, before any system compelled such ascents.

Thus, only one conclusion emerged: vital resources. They required elements unavailable in this domain. Clearly, these Divine Fruits formed a key part of that scarcity.

"Indeed, they are absent from this world. Divine Fruits represent condensed, solid essences of vast divine power. Such phenomena don't arise naturally here. They might under extraordinary circumstances, but not ordinarily," the dragon shook its head in response.

"Divine power? Correct me if I'm wrong, but faith power converts into divine power, doesn't it?" A spark lit in Daniel's eyes.

The Ancient Dragon nodded affirmatively. Faith power could truly transform into divine power. This lay at the heart of why so many religious founders had risen to divinity.

Folks often believe attaining Demi God status poses the greatest trial, but they're mistaken. The true ordeal unfolds afterward.

Transitioning from Demi God to genuine god demands forging a flawless Divinity and elevating it to the baseline strength needed to wield the Laws' might directly.

Divinity holds extraordinary nature. It's essentially an elevated manifestation of the Laws' origin. Once formed, it serves as an infinite wellspring of energy and unrestricted gateway to the Laws.

Religious founders, by transmuting faith power into divine power, managed to finalize their Divinity and hoist it to the threshold befitting a true god.

Alternative paths exist too. For instance, scouring the world for stray divine power. Certain entities are innately imbued with it. Capturing them allows extraction and absorption of that divine power from their forms.

This method applies equally to artifacts harboring divine power. Still, it's an arduous, protracted endeavor with slim odds of triumph.

The optimal route involves founding a religion. Yet establishing one isn't child's play. It demands authentic sanction from a Supreme Law.

For Daniel, this posed no barrier, as he harbored intentions to revive the Religion of Eternity. Through it, he could bolster his Divinity and ascend in strength.

Harnessing Divinity also enables the broadening and construction of one's Inner World. As that realm gains potency, so does the god's overall power.

"Though I'm uncertain of the mechanics for you, my Lord, given you're below Demi God level. I suspect you'll need to invest far greater toil."

"No issue there. Existence of a path suffices," Daniel grinned. Difficulty didn't faze him. Possibility alone spurred him onward.

"Anything else you can share about my race?" He shifted to his subsequent inquiry. Yet the Ancient Dragon's reply echoed prior knowledge.

Nothing fresh emerged, save for a single extra detail. Innate Primals boasted the mightiest souls and physiques across all kindreds. Even surpassing dragons in bodily resilience.

"What insights do you have on Corruption and the Mother System? Their true essence?" Daniel posed a crucial query. Theories brewed in his mind, but certainty eluded him.

No deity he'd encountered had furnished a full account on this subject.

The Ancient Dragon parted its jaws to respond, only to abruptly sense an anomaly. Its expression tightened, and it sealed its mouth.

"So, you're barred from speaking," Daniel chuckled. That telltale sign was familiar. It mirrored warnings from the system or some higher force to remain silent.

"My apologies, my Lord," it exhaled and expressed regret. Full knowledge escaped it, yet fragments on this matter it held. From its view, they seemed minor.

Evidently, some entity forbade disclosure to its Lord. It sensed that uttering a word would summon an incomprehensible force to intervene.

"All good. This mirrors the system's own constraints," Daniel acknowledged with a nod, unperturbed. Actually, his thoughts veered elsewhere.

The Mother System proved more perilous than anticipated. It imposed stringent curbs on its wielders.

Of greater concern, this system functioned akin to a surveillance agent and information gatherer for users. Consequently, every scrap of user data flowed to its architect.

Previously, such matters hadn't troubled him. But now, bearing titles that individually could unleash tempests across realms—even among divinities—altered that.

His wariness and vigilance had intensified to extremes. The system's hazards now loomed clear.

To lighten the mood, the Ancient Dragon shifted its form slightly, summoning forth an egg. An immense one at that.

"This?"

"This is the dragon offspring you nurtured."

"Finn? How—and why—has he reverted to egg form?" Daniel eyed the colossal egg. He was aware the youth remained under this dragon's care.

Yet he'd presumed Finn underwent rigorous training or akin pursuits, not a regression to an egg.

"Grasp that this child is a Primordial Dragon, the sole survivor of his lineage in this realm, and the final beacon for reviving the ancient dragon heritage. Regrettably, his aptitude was flawed due to premature birth."

"Hence, I reversed the flow of time upon his frame. Rest assured, no harm done. Upon rebirth, his recollections will endure," the Ancient Dragon clarified.

Daniel's brows arched in astonishment. This development lay beyond his expectations. Still, Finn's well-being eased any concerns.

Nevertheless, a puzzle stirred within him. Given Finn's significance to dragonkind, how had mortals absconded with him?

But probing that now held little appeal. Since discerning the system's imposed boundaries, another notion preoccupied him.

"The Primordial Flame incinerates concepts and the fabric of reality alike. Might I wield it to incinerate the system and the binds it has forged upon me?"
