Chapter 169 Bai Mu: When my strength rivals that of Heavenly Principle
"Do the dragons on this continent also have the concept of bloodlines?"
Shiraki looked at the Great Tree King with a puzzled expression.
Whether in his past life or this life, he had never heard of any cases of "snakes transforming into dragons" or "fish leaping over the dragon gate" in Teyvat.
That's why Bai Mu was puzzled when the Great Tree King told him that his bloodline was not good.
"Of course there is, don't you know that?"
The Great Compassion Tree King said this as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"If the dragons in this world don't have bloodlines, then why are there so many dragon lizards in the wastelands of Liyue?"
"Those dragon lizards are dragons with low bloodlines; they only have a trace of dragon blood."
While explaining the dragon lizard bloodline to Shiraki, the Great Tree King also casually caught a smaller dragon lizard from the wasteland.
Looking at the dragon lizard, about the size of Naxida, struggling in the hands of the Great Tree King.
Upon closer examination, Shiraki discovered that this dragon lizard seemed to have some subtle blood connection with him.
At the same time, Shiraki had another feeling.
From a bloodline perspective, I seem to be the ancestor of this dragon lizard.
"Have you already sensed that your bloodline is connected to its bloodline?"
Noticing the change in Shiraki's expression, the Great Tree King guessed that Shiraki had already sensed a bloodline connection with this dragon lizard.
"Yeah, that's right."
"Not only that, I also feel that my bloodline can completely suppress it."
Bai Mu locked onto the dragon lizard held by the Great Kindred Tree King, releasing the pressure of his bloodline and pressing down on the dragon lizard.
The dragon lizard, which had been struggling, instantly became docile under the pressure of this bloodline.
After feeling the pressure from its bloodline, the dragon lizard tried its best to restrain itself, but its body still trembled slightly involuntarily.
"This is the most direct manifestation of bloodline."
"Your bloodline is far superior to this dragon lizard's, which is why it appears so terrified after sensing your bloodline."
The Great Tree King tossed the dragon lizard, which was almost scared out of its wits, back into the original wasteland and patted off non-existent dust from its hands.
"So, what's the point of you telling me about bloodlines? Do you have a way to help me improve my bloodline?"
Although Shiraki had guessed the Great Tree King's plan, he still didn't quite understand.
Although the Great Tree King is the incarnation of the World Tree, she is not a dragon and therefore cannot help enhance her bloodline.
Unless, she knows the location of other dragons whose bloodline is stronger than hers.
Thinking of this, Bai Mu was not too excited, but rather hesitant.
There are not many dragons in this world, and even fewer with a bloodline stronger than his.
Moreover, Bai Mu wasn't sure if he could defeat those ancient dragons with powerful bloodlines.
Although his strength had reached a level that even he himself could not imagine, Shiraki had not yet found a suitable opponent to test his strength.
Every time he encounters an opponent, Shiraki defeats them in one move.
Having experienced many such battles, Shiraki would feel somewhat uneasy when facing beings whose combat strength was unclear but who appeared powerful.
...
"In Sumeru, there lives a grass dragon named Apep, who is extremely powerful and ancient. If you..."
As Bai Mu had expected, the Great Kindness Tree King could not directly enhance Bai Mu's bloodline, but instead, just as Bai Mu had thought, it told Bai Mu the location of an ancient dragon.
Upon hearing the name "Appepp," Shiraki wore an expression that said, "I knew it," while also showing some worry.
"I've also heard of Apep. It's said to be one of the seven elemental dragon kings, the grass dragon king, and extremely powerful."
"If we were to face it now, I can't guarantee our chances of winning."
"How about this? I'm not worried about my strength right now anyway. Once I raise my strength to the level of Heavenly Principle, then we can go find it."
"In this way, no matter how strong it is, it won't be able to make any waves."
Bai Mu kept rambling on and on, and when the Great Tree King heard Bai Mu's long string of words, he almost rolled his eyes to the sky.
She looked at Bai Mu and said in an annoyed tone:
"What are you thinking? When did I finish speaking and start attacking it?"
"You and it both belong to the dragon race, and your potential is not weak. As long as you can have a good talk with Apep, it will most likely help you improve your bloodline."
"And even if you don't reach an agreement in the end, you don't need to be afraid of it."
“Appepp is currently in a weakened state. With your strength, it's not impossible for you to kill it.”
...
"Huh? Really?"
"Is Appepp really that weak?"
Upon learning from the Great Tree King that Apep might not even be a match for him, Shiraki was somewhat shocked by his current situation.
Before he traveled through time, Apep had not yet entered the storyline.
Shiraki only learned about Apep from some forums.
The information all said that Apep was some kind of grass dragon king, a dragon king who was only slightly weaker than the Heavenly Principle.
These rumors only mentioned how strong Appepp is, but they didn't mention his current condition at all.
These pieces of information caused Shiraki to develop a mistaken perception of Appepp's strength.
Before this, he had always felt that Appepp's strength was already unimaginably high.
"Why is it weak? Isn't it because you're too strong?"
Upon hearing that Shiraki's first thought after learning he could defeat Appepp wasn't that he was too strong, but rather that Appepp was too weak, the Great Tree King rolled his eyes at him once again.
Why can't Shiraki have a normal brain circuit?
Why are his ideas always so unique?
"Ah...so that's how it is."
Bai Mu scratched his head thoughtfully, and at the same time, he was shocked by his own strength.
Unexpectedly, without realizing it, Bai's strength had already reached this level.
It is known that Apep's strength is greater than that of the maintainer of the laws of nature, but less than that of the laws of nature.
Shiraki was already capable of defeating Appep, who was in a weakened state.
Therefore, based on the above, Shiraki believes that his strength is roughly equivalent to that of the maintainers of the natural order.
It's probably not far from the truth of things.
Thinking of this, Bai Mu's mouth almost stretched to his ears in a wide grin.
When do you plan to go see Appepp?
The Great Tree King patted Bai Mu's dragon face, afraid that he might accidentally hurt his mouth.
Feeling the touch on his face, Shiramu withdrew his slightly lewd smile.
After thinking it over for a moment, Shiraki decided not to go to Apepna immediately.
His current strength is sufficient; there's no need for him to rush to improve it.
It's not too late to go after we finish dealing with the mecha.
