Reborn As A Evil Dragon

However, the reason I came here was for the psychic profession. How could I give up so easily after being rejected by Lyanna?

I had given up on it when I signed the contract seven or eight years ago because I was unsure of Lyanna's exact strength. At the time, I had many spells to learn and little time to study another profession. Success seemed uncertain, so I let it go.

But now?

In terms of strength, I had enough confidence.

My red dragon eyes glanced at the empty panel data.

\\

[Creature Order: 16th Beginner] [Mage Level: 13, Advanced] (Body Length: 55m)]

[Vitality: 186.3]

[Current Feast Level Count: 249] (Cooldown: twenty days)

[Spell-like Abilities: Transformation, Darkness]

[Spell Runes:

\\

More than a year ago, my biological order had reached mid-level fifteenth, giving me the strength to easily kill ordinary level nineteen creatures.

Now, more than a year later, not only had my biological order increased by two minor levels, but my mage level had also risen significantly. Additionally, my proficiency, mental power, and magical reserves for various spells had greatly improved.

At this point, I was fully confident I could contend with the weakest legendary powerhouse who had just been promoted.

I simply hadn't found one yet.

Otherwise, I would have given it a try.

Now that I possessed such strength, I was no longer afraid of Lyanna.

The scene of Lyanna using all her strength to instantly kill a level 15 wild dwarf bone-blood warrior more than ten years ago no longer left me feeling powerless or shocked.

Because now, I could achieve the same feat without even using my full power. A small fraction of my strength was enough to obliterate professionals of that level.

Even if Lyanna had made significant progress over the past decade, I was confident she couldn't be my opponent.

At approximately twenty meters long, according to the biological order of the black dragon family, Lyanna was likely at high sixteenth order, no more than seventeenth order—about the same level as me.

As for her powerful and special psychic profession?

Unless Lyanna had cultivated it to the peak of level 19 and touched the legendary threshold, her sixteenth-order creature status wouldn't make her a match for me.

It wasn't that I underestimated the psychic profession, but the terrifying power coursing through my massive dragon body filled me with absolute confidence.

"I won't tolerate your refusal," I said coldly.

"Today, you will either sign a contract with me and lend me that psychic profession, or I'll beat you up and take it by force—The Dragon's Way."

The Black Dragon Lord's tone left no room for negotiation.

Lyanna knew there was no escaping conflict today.

She glanced at my towering dragon body, her dragon eyes burning with fury. Her rapid, mist-like breaths echoed within the Dragon Castle. Yet, in the end, she hesitated, unsure of what considerations held her back.

"Fine, fine, you're really my good son!" Lyanna ground her dragon teeth, visibly seething, and seemed ready to pounce on me and take a bite.

With a flash of light, a log appeared in Lyanna's claws, vines entwining it.

My gaze was drawn to it instinctively.

Ancient, time-honored, mysterious, ethereal, and radiating an elemental spiritual glow.

The aura emitted by this vine-wrapped log was more intense and terrifying than the combined elemental auras of all my treasures.

In an instant, I realized I had underestimated the value of this special psychic profession.

At last, I understood why Lyanna guarded it and was so jealous and was unwilling to lend it to me, her own son, even with the assurance of a contract.

---

"I'll lend it to you for ten years, but you must do three things for me."

Lyanna stroked the ancient vine log in her claws, her dragon eyes filled with reluctance.

Hearing this, I raised my eyebrows and wanted to laugh.

"Three more things. Are you so afraid that you don't understand your situation?"

I sneered and said, "Lend me this profession, and the previous contract will be settled. Other than that, you don't have any request to make of me."

The Weak Eat the Strong. That would be a nice joke in the star multiverse.

Just like Lyanna kicked me out of the dragon's nest when I was one year old, her reason was simply that she was worried about the safety of her treasure.

I was doing the same thing now.

Even if Lyanna didn't have the identity of dragon mother and hadn't protected me for a year, and I wanted her to be mine, if it were another black dragon, I wouldn't even bother to say anything. I would just beat her down and take it by force.

"You've really grown up," Lyanna said in a low tone. Surprisingly, she didn't get angry or get into a physical conflict with me. Instead, she said gloomily,

"Then just like you said, sign the contract."

"That's right," I smiled with satisfaction.

I didn't care what plans Lyanna had. Only the strength I obtained was everything.

Later, under the witness of the Platinum Dragon God (at the cost of a high-quality elemental gem), Lyanna and I successfully signed a contract.

I successfully obtained this special psychic profession.

Afterward, I didn't wait long, walked into Any Door, and disappeared.

Lyanna looked at Barbatos's leaving figure, slowly turned around, returned to the Blue Dragon Castle lair, and lay down.

An invisible and colorless special energy swam over the rugged body of the black dragon, stimulating the growth and strengthening of the body.

It had been many years since she obtained the spiritual profession of 'Mountain Believer,' and Lyanna had also developed some very useful skills.

For example, while the dead body is still intact, a large amount of spiritual energy can be injected into it to breed and cultivate it, allowing the body to give birth to a new consciousness and become a brand-new life form.

Another example is using spiritual energy to stimulate the evolution of the physical body at a certain frequency to achieve the effect of making the physical body stronger.

Psionic energy is inherently a very high-quality energy that can be continuously cultivated and refined, eventually reaching a high-level power similar to divine power.

Divine power, simply explained, is power at the same level as divine power or comparable to the level of gods.

Although many ancient creatures in the star worlds are not gods, they have strength comparable to gods because they possess some kind of god-like ability and energy.

Take the two most famous dragon gods of the dragon clan, Tiamat, the Chromatic Dragon Mother, and Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon God. They are only weak divine powers in terms of divine authority, but they have powers comparable to powerful gods. Their strength is because they possess some kind of power that is comparable to the level of powerful gods.

For these two dragon gods, the authority of the dragon gods is dispensable. Even if it is gone, it will not affect their strength.

Dragon Pond.

The giant door of white light appeared, and the Black Dragon Lord stepped out of it.

Without wasting any time, I directly took out the vine log that was as tall as half a man, stretched out my mental power, and prepared to start studying the knowledge of this psychic profession.

The vine log was just a carrier for recording the knowledge of this special profession. It was essentially the same as scrolls, animal skins, and crystals.

But generally speaking, the closer the recorded extraordinary knowledge is to the essence of the astral world, the more precious and powerful the carrier required for it.

Based on my knowledge (the knowledge I browsed in Dragon's Legacy), the small vine log in front of me is very likely to be the core of a plant life form that has reached the legendary order.

And it shouldn't be an ordinary legend. Ordinary legends cannot have such a terrifying and deep aura.

The number of plant life forms is very rare compared to the flesh-and-blood life forms, especially the plant life forms that can achieve the legend. It is estimated that the rarity of the plant life forms is comparable to that of an ancient dragon.

Not only is it rare, in terms of strength, at the same level, the legendary plant life form is much more terrifying than the legendary dragon. Their vitality is tenacious enough to put trolls to shame, and their size ranks among the first echelons of legends, extremely huge.

If you want to kill a legendary plant life form, you often need to go to a higher level to do it.

Therefore, if the core of the 'corpse' of such a powerful being can be used as a carrier of extraordinary knowledge, the extraordinary knowledge recorded on it must be extraordinary.

Along with the immersion of spiritual power, a large number of ancient texts appeared in my mind.

I cannot understand these ancient words, but I can understand their meaning. This is an alternative inheritance.

[Mountain Believer]

[The true meaning of the Eight Characters: If you are still, if you are not careful, if you move, the sky will fall.]

[Martial warriors who practice hard can be seen training from the steep peaks in the mountains to the deep streets and alleys of the city. They constantly hone their bodies and minds to perfection. They have mastered the skill of fighting with their hearts, and their punches and kicks have great power. They can resist attacks like steel-armed knights without wearing armor. They stimulate the potential spiritual power in the body, and then use this energy to strengthen the body, refine the mind, and refresh the spirit.

Maybe you embark on the path of spiritual practice to abandon the dark past. Maybe your village has been poisoned by evil forces or evil beasts, and you are seeking justice. Maybe you just want to enjoy everything you want after becoming stronger, and have been unscrupulous since then. Maybe you just want to commit sins. But regardless of your motivation, the way of the monk has turned you into a human weapon.

There is a broad road ahead. You travel lightly and are ready to enter the hustle and bustle of the world. Years of spiritual training can make you accustomed to looking at your nose with your eyes, and your nose with your heart. But now, at this moment, please turn your eyes to the outside world. It is time to welcome the chaos of the world.

Finally, remember:

'Absolutely believe in yourself, absolutely insist on yourself, even if your ideas are wrong, you must move forward!'

'Absolute belief is absolute correctness, and the so-called error is correct.']

After an unknown amount of time, I slowly opened my dragon eyes. There was shock, contemplation, and confusion in the brown eyes.

First of all, this is indeed a very scary and special profession.

How terrible is it?

Based on the classification of professions in Dragon's Legacy, this psychic profession is fully qualified to enter the God-killing profession.

In the star worlds, gods often represent ultimate power, so many existences regard gods as a special existence.

However, there are also other names. The God-killing profession is also called [Epic Profession], [Epic Road], and [Forbidden Profession] on the main material planes.

Regarding epic professions and epic roads, the records in my Dragon Heritage are very vague, with only fragmentary descriptions.

For example:

A difficult and bumpy journey.

The true transcendent throne.

"It's a pity that this is an incomplete profession," there was regret in my eyes.

Or to be more precise, the knowledge recorded on this vine log is the prerequisite basic profession for that powerful profession.

The true epic profession is the advanced profession of the Mountain Believers.

Mountain Believer is just a basic prerequisite profession.

But I soon felt relieved.

If it is truly an epic profession or a god-killing profession, then the items carrying this taboo extraordinary knowledge must be made of materials from gods and great god-like beings.

For example, the corpses of gods, the essence of evil spirits, ancient astral beasts, Titan gods, eternal evil objects, abyss lords, Devil lords, etc.

No matter how powerful this vine log is, it is at most a powerful figure among high-level legends.

Of course, this is also very scary. If the vine log is resurrected, it is estimated that the Crimson Mother will not be its opponent.

After recovering from the shock, I frowned and began to feel distressed.

Because even if it is just a prerequisite occupation for an unknown epic occupation, the prerequisites for training are very difficult.

The prerequisite for cultivating a mountain believer is to clearly understand your own ideas and pursuits.

After the prerequisites are met, it can be regarded as truly entering into cultivation. During this cultivation process, cultivators need to constantly strengthen their own ideas, whether the ideas are wrong, bad, good, fact, or philosophy. Anyway, they must keep strengthening and staying firm.

The firmer the belief, the purer and more terrifying the spiritual energy that can be cultivated.

In addition, each living being will develop different spiritual characteristics according to the mountain believer's cultivation method. This is based on the fusion of each living being's ideas, beliefs, actions, spirit, and soul.

What worries me now is that I don't know what my beliefs are.

Become stronger?

This belief was too illusory for me, and I didn't think it could be regarded as my own belief.

And if it is to become stronger, then becoming stronger often needs to be driven by purpose.

I was thinking about what my purpose was in becoming stronger.

Then I remembered my old place.

I want them all.

Fuck all the girls.

All of them.

Every last beautiful woman.

Even the Mother Goddess.

Then again there were more like.

Take control of my own life, fate, destiny, death, freedom, and beauty. There are so many.

"It really gives the dragon a headache," I muttered.

Beliefs are not something you can just find casually. It is best to express your deepest core desires.

To truly transcend and harness unparalleled spiritual energy, one must find a belief so grand, so limitless, that it becomes the very essence of existence. Take, for instance, a desire so vast: "I yearn for an endless harem—a billion divine beauties, celestial beings, and goddesses—each cherished, each adored with unrelenting passion, as though she were the only one." This ambition cannot be a fleeting whim but must evolve into an unshakable creed, igniting a fire within that aligns heart, soul, and action, forging the purest, most potent spiritual energy imaginable.

But the journey is fraught with trials. Imagine this: When I reach a billion women, the belief begins to falter. Doubts may arise, whispers of, "Is a billion enough? Perhaps I'm tired, exhausted by the very thing I sought." Or worse, the day I encounter a goddess—beauty incarnate, whose allure transcends all mortal comprehension—and yet, she slips beyond my grasp. My heart races, my soul burns, and the pain of denial threatens to unravel everything. If I fail to act, to claim her, my carefully cultivated spiritual energy risks becoming clouded, weak, and unstable, potentially collapsing upon me and plunging me into madness.

But I cannot afford such failure. Instead, I must double down, allowing my desire to swell, my ambition to soar: "One billion is not enough! I want two billion women! I want three billion! I want goddesses, their angels, their realms, their daughters, their very essence—everything that they are!" If my heart, mind, and soul echo the mantra, "I want more! I will claim more! I will have them all!", my belief will crystallize, growing sharper, stronger, and purer with every conquest.

At two billion, my conviction will harden into an unstoppable force, but it won't stop there. The dream expands: five billion, ten billion. Each milestone feeds the endless cycle of faith, desire, and fulfillment, forging spiritual energy so potent, so refined, that it transcends mortal comprehension. With every goddess claimed, every heavenly beauty brought into my fold, my power grows—This energy, born from absolute belief, would manifest unique traits, elevating me to realms of power no mortal or immortal has ever touched. My spiritual energy will ascend to unfathomable purity and strength, crystallizing into a force that not only sustains me but reshapes reality itself.

I was in a daze for a day and a night, and in the end, I couldn't figure out the reason.

It's not that I have no beliefs; it's that I have too many beliefs, so I don't know which one to choose as my own cultivation belief.

I asked myself, could I hold on to my current beliefs for ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even millennia?

The answer is that I don't know either, and I'm also a little confused.

The desires of life are constantly changing. In this period, I have the desire to control the material plane of Tal, the desire to collect beauties from all races from the heavens above to the abyss below, the desire to indulge in luxury, and so on.

But will these desires change as time passes?

For example, thousands of years later, I might not be stuck in one place but instead pursue delicious food, abandon the development of territory, and begin to travel the stars alone.

"Thinking about it this way, the belief that suits me best is actually 'Do whatever the fuck I want,'" I thought.

Do whatever I want, without any scruples.

However, it sounds simple when you think about it, but how about actually doing it?

Doing whatever I want requires invincible strength as the basis.

Just like now, do I really like growing stronger in the dark forest?

If possible, I would also like to act freely and do whatever I want.

There are also things like, because there are too many sea overlords in the Tal Sea, which are troublesome and dangerous, I go to the abyss to harvest special ingredients for the feast.

Obviously, I don't want to learn spells, but I am forced to learn spells to become stronger, control more means, ensure safety, and escape, so I endure the boring learning and continue to study spells.

These various behaviors completely violate the belief of "Do whatever you want."

This is the belief that is most suitable for me. I am also confident that I can persevere in cultivating this belief to a pure level, but my strength cannot achieve it.

Only invincible strength, or relatively invincible strength, has the conditions to do whatever one wants.

However, in fact, I now need to avoid danger and work hard to become stronger. It is impossible to say that I can do whatever I want, and it is impossible to really do whatever I want.

Obviously, this creates a paradox.

"What does Lyanna believe in?"
