Chapter 179
"… And it seems that the news of their deaths has already spread."
Adam waved Canbi away, then asked the Devil through the contract. "What happened? I shouldn't have hurt their souls. "
"Their souls have a layer of protection that automatically resisted the signing of the contract. When they realized that they couldn't resist the power of the contract, they self-destructed along with their souls." The Devil scratched his tail and continued. "They seem to be a race with inherited knowledge, but strangely, inherited knowledge shouldn't have such a function."
"Inherited knowledge? Are you sure? "
The Devil hurriedly said. "Their minds are very simple, but they have many complex memories. But they disappeared before I could see them. And they definitely haven't left the Icy Plains, so they could still recognize you as a young dragon. Isn't that strange?"
"It is indeed strange." Adam didn't expect that the first race he came into contact with with inherited knowledge would be a wild tribe of the Icy Plains. "If inherited knowledge is a message that is written into the genes of an individual who has reached a certain level of strength, then that means that there are or had been extraordinaries among these three wild tribes."
The Devil nodded. "That should be the case. But the state of the extraordinaries among them, or the way they wrote their inherited knowledge, must be wrong. Otherwise, no one would leave a ticking time bomb in the minds of their descendants. Things like inherited knowledge can't be spied on by outsiders. This bomb can only kill themselves. "
The Devil suddenly recalled the strange and evil reincarnation technique and added. "Of course, mages are an exception." The more the Devil thought about the reincarnation technique, the more terrifying it was. It ignored race, form of existence, reproduction, and forced impregnation. It was simply unreasonable.
"Perhaps they are afraid." Adam muttered as he recalled the situation at the world boundary.
The Devil curiously asked, "Afraid of what? Even if there is a powerful enemy, they wouldn't leave a bomb in the minds of an entire race, right? "
Adam transmitted the scene he saw at the world boundary to the Devil. The Devil jumped three feet high. "Is this an erosion or a collision? How could this be? "
"I don't know, but the situation in the Dragon Plane is very bad. Perhaps there were intruders like me before, and the ancient extraordinaries of the Dragon Plane are guarding against intruders from obtaining information from their inherited knowledge."
"Master, what about your mission? Do you want to give up? "
"Of course not. Perhaps it won't be long before the restrictions of the Origin are broken. Besides, isn't it good to discover two planes at the same time and obtain the knowledge of two planes?"

Adam was not in a hurry to find trouble with the three races. Instead, he used the energy stones that the snow worms had just excreted to reinforce the magic array. He then carried the three corpses into the laboratory.
Their souls and inherited knowledge had been shattered, but their corpses were still very valuable. Adam wanted to know if the races with inherited knowledge were like the forest elves, where the manifestation of their power depended on the energy circuits within their bodies.
Adam was already very familiar with dissection. After an hour, he had already dissected the three monsters.
"It's still in the form of energy circuits, but it's much more complicated than the forest elves'." While recording the results of the dissection, Adam used elements to construct the parts of the three monsters that could be used on the dragon's body.
The crystallization abilities of the giants and the gigantification abilities of the snow monsters were very good. They should be the core of their inherited knowledge. However, what surprised Adam the most was the transformation ability of the werewolf.
The Icefield werewolves used this ability to transform from their animal form to their half-human, half-wolf form, which was more suitable for battle. This already involved a very advanced knowledge of reconstructing their own body structure.
Although Adam could not control the transformation as freely as the werewolf, if he could replicate this ability on himself, he might be able to transform into the form of another race.
Adam immediately began his transformation. After setting up the two energy circuits on his body with Psychokinetic energy, he impatiently poured energy into them. His four-meter-tall dragon body grew and widened at a speed visible to the naked eye. His originally slender body began to grow horizontally. Dragon scales bloomed and fell off, and then new, more crystalline scales immediately grew. Soon, the original silver-white scales had all fallen off. The new scales looked as clear as crystal, and if one looked closely, they could see the flowing white and purple energy.
Unlike the giants and snow monsters that needed to be activated to use their innate abilities, Adam's circuit was like a permanent blessing. As long as he did not actively destroy it, the gigantification and crystallization of his body would always exist. Moreover, it would automatically level up as his energy level increased.
After the transformation, Adam looked at his eight-meter-tall giant body and beautiful scales with satisfaction. Although he was still not at Okov's size, he looked about the same as an adult dragon.
Adam swung his tail forcefully. A tremendous explosion resounded from his side. Ice and lightning energies fused and exploded, easily creating an elemental vacuum.
"As expected of a race with tyrannical physical strength. After obtaining their innate ability, my draconic body has strengthened by nearly ten times."
A gust of cold wind blew in, shattering the entire laboratory inch by inch. Hearing the commotion, Devil and Canbi stared dumbfoundedly at the greatly transformed Adam. They were so shocked that they were speechless.
After a long while, Devil cautiously approached and stroked Adam's feet. "Master, you … mutated?"
Adam gently swung his tail to one side. After constructing another room, he said to Canbi. "Follow me."
Canbi's eyes erupted with radiance. He realized that his lordship might be trying to help him become stronger. He hastily followed Adam into the room, but didn't notice Devil's pitying gaze.
"Lordship, what … what do I have to do?"
Adam was in the midst of controlling the size of his ice blade. After his body had enlarged, he would need better control to perform such precise operations. Hearing Canbi's question, he said, "Take off your clothes and stand still."
Canbi fearfully stared at the scalpel. Recalling the agony of his bloodline upgrade, his body couldn't help but shudder. Nevertheless, he still obediently stood still.
After adjusting the size of his ice blade, Adam warned Canbi. "This time, it will be very painful. You must endure and don't die." He didn't have many subordinates he could use. If Canbi died, it would be very troublesome.
Canbi forcefully nodded, looking as though he was facing death with equanimity. "Rest assured lordship, I will definitely endure."
Adam looked at him encouragingly. Then, he brandished his ice blade. After calculating the distance, leaving only a sliver of skin, he sliced Canbi into two.
"I hope the plant energy in your body can guarantee your vitality." Adam mumbled.
