Chapter 5: The Awakening of the Infinity Dragon Progenitor and Infinity Dragon Realm Abilities
Amidst the chaos outside, a profound transformation was taking place within the Infinity Dragon Realm, deep inside the crimson-hued confines of the bloodline tower. A figure floated gracefully in a pool of shimmering blood, undergoing a remarkable metamorphosis. Small scales of cosmic colors adorned his frame, each reflecting the light of distant stars, like fragments of the universe itself.
His features sharpened, with his eyes now sparkling with a draconic brilliance that hinted at ancient power. A symbol of infinity materialized prominently on his forehead, symbolizing the boundless potential contained within him. Majestic horns of cosmic hues spiraled elegantly from his head, and from his back, twelve magnificent dragon wings unfurled, exuding an ethereal presence that resonated with the very fabric of existence.
[Ding! The integrating process of the infinity dragon progenitor bloodline is complete.]
Just then, an alert echoed inside his mind, cutting through the stillness of his transformation.
[Ding! Starting the sealing process of the bloodline due to the host body's inability to handle the bloodline level.]
A series of progress updates followed, counting off with each percentage point.
[10%.....30%.....50%.....85%.....90%....99%.....100%]
[Ding! The sealing process is complete.]
As if responding to an unseen command, six of the four horns and twelve of the ten wings began to retract gently into his form, compressing into a more manageable state.
[Ding! Standby to start the process of gaining the inheritance.]
...A Few Hours Later...
Azeris opened his eyes slowly, taking in the scarlet glow of his surroundings. He emerged from the blood pool, water cascading off his newly transformed body, his heart racing with the thrill of change. The cosmic scales shone brightly on his skin, and he could feel the weight of two formidable horns on his forehead. Two majestic wings unfurled from his back, their shimmering brilliance illuminating the dim glow around him. His draconic eyes observed a strange white energy swirling all around—a phenomenon both alluring and powerful.
"System, what is this strange energy surrounding me?" he inquired, curiosity piquing his voice.
[Ding! Host, this energy is called Primordial Infinity Qi. It is the purest qi in all existence and the most suitable energy for cultivation for Infinity Dragons.]
Azeris felt a sense of euphoria washing over him, the potential of this newfound energy entrancing.
[Ding! Congratulations on completely integrating the bloodline.]
[Ding! Host System is on standby to begin the process of gaining the inheritance of the Infinity Dragon progenitor.]
[Ding! Do you wish to start the inheritance process?]
He hesitated for a moment, pondering the implications of the inheritance before asking,
"What does this inheritance entail?"
[Ding! In this inheritance, you will gain all the cultivation techniques, combat arts, alchemy, and array mastery techniques that the Infinity Dragon progenitor has mastered.]
A surge of determination filled him as he contemplated the possibilities.
[Ding! Host, do you wish to proceed?]
"Yes," Azeris responded, his voice steady and resolute.
[Ding! Teleporting the Host to the Throne Room.]
In an instant, he was whisked away. Somewhere within the vast expanses of the Infinity Dragon Realm, a grand royal castle loomed, its majestic architecture a blend of ancient design and cosmic elegance. This castle housed the stunning throne room, where a throne crafted from the very essence of galaxies awaited—an artifact of immense power and significance.
As Azeris entered, awe washed over him, his breath caught in his throat. The intricate designs on the walls pulsed with energy, and luminous figures depicted legendary battles fought by the progenitors of his kind.
[Ding! Host, please proceed to the throne.]
With a mix of reverence and excitement, Azeris approached the throne. Each step heightened his sense of purpose as he laid his hands upon its surface and then seated himself down, the throne fitting him as if it were forged specifically for him.
[Ding! Starting the process of gaining the inheritance.]
A sensation surged through him as the inheritance began to pour into his being.
[Ding! You have received Infinity Cultivation Art.]
[Ding! You have received Infinity Sword Art.]
[Ding! You have received Eternal Alchemy Mastery Art.]
[Ding! You have received Eternal Array Mastery Art.]
Azeris felt an influx of knowledge flooding his mind, concepts and techniques layering upon one another as he absorbed the information.
[Ding! If you want to see the details, just say 'states.']
Intrigued, he said, "What are states?"
[Ding! States provide information about your skills, abilities, and what you have mastered.]
With curiosity ignited, he declared, "States."

Azeris scanned his stats, his brow furrowing slightly. "Why are my techniques unlearned?" he asked, a hint of concern in his voice.
[Ding! Host, you can learn your techniques anytime.]
Azeris pondered for a moment. He wanted to master his powers but felt that rushing would not be wise.
[Ding! Host, do you want to learn the techniques?]
"Not right now," he replied thoughtfully. He had a sense that the right moment would come with time and understanding.
"System, what are the abilities of the Infinity Dragon Realm?" he questioned, eager to explore the extent of his new domain.

Feeling emboldened but curious, Azeris asked, "How can I update the Infinity Dragon Realm?"
[Ding! You can update the Infinity Dragon Realm by conquering 100 mortal-level worlds or 25 immortal-level worlds.]
His eyes widened at this revelation. "What's the difference between mortal and immortal worlds?" he inquired, wanting a clearer understanding of what lay ahead.
[Ding! Mortal-level worlds are those inhabited by beings without significant power, while immortal-level worlds host advanced beings, including Ascended and Deities. Conquering these will grant you more resources and options for growth.]
Azeris contemplated this vital distinction, realizing the challenges that awaited him. Every world he would encounter would test his strength, wit, and character. Each conquest would bring him closer to the realization of his potential, and he felt the thrill of adventure rising within him.
With newfound resolve, Azeris decided it was time to embark on his journey. He had gained immeasurable power but knew that mastery and wisdom came from experience and challenges faced along the way. The Infinity Dragon Realm was his domain, and he would rise to become the legacy his ancestors envisioned—a beacon of strength and inspiration.
