Muria was puzzled by the words spoken by the suspicious creature that hatched from the void egg.
His bloodline was almost the highest level in Elassia. Under the erosion of his bloodline's aura, beings of human-level could easily be transformed, their bodies enlarged, showing some characteristics of the dragon kind.
However, the influence of his bloodline was limited to creatures with a significant difference in the level of life from him. Beings whose life level was close or equal to his were utterly unaffected by him.
For example, the pentachromatic dragons he raised were only slightly affected by his negligible influence, and this effect was only evident in Clodia, the white dragon considered the disgrace of the dragon race, due to its weakest bloodline. The other dragons showed no changes at all.
Even the pentachromatic dragons, with inferior bloodlines, could ignore his bloodline erosion, not to mention beings with equal bloodline strength.
The giant egg gifted to him by his grandfather, the lord of the wilderness, Akhmond, was found in the endless void.
An egg that could survive in the void. The being that hatched from it had a level of life that was at least on the same level as him, or even higher than Muria.
Such a level of being, Muria couldn't even think about affecting it, and there was even a possibility of being affected instead.
Therefore, the possibility of the void egg being affected by Muria's bloodline power was almost zero. But aside from this, Muria really couldn't understand why, if they were not blood-related, the being that hatched from the void egg looked so similar to him, with a similarity of over eighty percent.
"Your bloodline certainly can't affect me. This is my own choice. What you see now is just my initial form. So, why the surprise?" The "young Muria" who had finished eating the broken eggshells and was now nibbling on the eggshells beneath her, answered vaguely.
"Initial form?" Muria frowned. The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. When he was about the same size as this suspicious creature, he didn't have six dragon horns on his head. It was only after merging with the Dragon King's bloodline and advancing his dragon bloodline that he acquired three forms.
"Built on you as a template for my initial form," the suspicious creature answered unclearly, "Who made you keep flaunting in front of me after I became conscious, and kept letting me devour your power?"
"Built on me as a template for your initial form?" Muria was astonished, "What is this operation? Don't you have your own bloodline form?"
"If I had, I wouldn't look like this now."
"So, your species' initial forms are all different? Could be any creature's appearance?"
"Species?" The "young feminized Muria" nibbling on eggshells tilted her head, "I am a unique existence, with no kin. I am the only one with this characteristic."
"I've got all that," Muria stared at the suspicious creature who had stood up and was now nibbling on the eggshells at her feet, her body uncovered by any clothing, standing there naked. Her lower body, aside from a dragon tail identical to Muria's, had nothing else, "But, can you explain why your initial form is female?"
Muria stared at her with a dark expression. The suspicious creature in front of him was a young feminized version of himself. "Since you're using me as a template, take it seriously. Why is your gender different from mine?"
"I didn't make that choice, okay? Do you think I wanted to build my initial form based on you?" The young girl with black hair reaching her waist put the last bit of eggshell into her mouth, then looked up at Muria.
Was this contempt? Muria was very confident in his bloodline, but as he was about to say something, the suspicious creature nodded and answered on her own: "Yes, I wanted to use you as a template. Among all the creatures I've encountered, your bloodline has the highest level and the greatest potential. I'd be a fool not to use you as a template."
"I am male." Muria stared at the young girl, his expression very serious, "And you, are female! You are not using me as a template."
"I just made some minor adjustments and changes," the suspicious creature looking like a young feminized Muria answered nonchalantly.
"And your reason for making adjustments?" Muria asked with a furrowed brow, now calmer.
According to this suspicious creature, it could be inferred that when it was with Muria's grandfather Akhmond, its consciousness had not yet formed. Otherwise, it would not have used him as a template for its initial form but would have emerged directly in the form of a Titan.
However, her current appearance was not inferior to that of a Titan. The girl, who had just hatched, now stretching her body to nearly twenty meters tall, her body shape was like an enlarged version of a mixed-blood Titan loli, which Muria found very pleasing to the eye.
"Your mother." Within reason and beyond expectation, the creature hatched from the void egg provided a logical answer, "She is also a very powerful and perfect life form."
Muria's mouth twitched. The void egg's encounter with the golden dragon mother could only have been when his dragons were banished. Other than that, the void egg had no chance to meet the golden dragon mother.
"Your mother is also a very good template." The "young feminized Muria" who had finished eating the eggshells touched her mouth, "But by that time, my initial form was almost set, so I could only make some minor adjustments."
"So you became female." Muria's face showed a trace of bemusement.
"I didn't have what you call gender before." The suspicious creature mumbled, "I told you, I'm different from you."
"Let's not talk about this." Muria squatted down, looking eye to eye with the being that had modeled her body after him, "What's the deal with you not having a true name?"
According to Muria's understanding, beings that were powerful to a certain extent would possess their true names. Only the weak without true names, such as ordinary humans, goblins, and goblins, lacked them.
"Why must I have a true name?" The mysterious creature from the void counter-questioned, the face extremely similar to Muria's showed a hint of incomprehension.
"A true name is used for calling..." Muria paused. The existence of a name is to be called by others. Ordinary humans are too weak, hence they lack true names.
So, by extension, in the void, could there be existences so powerful that they don't need true names because no one would call them by their true names, hence the lack of need for one?
