Making 701
A dragon egg that hadn’t hatched, yet could talk.
This might surprise many, but for Gilmore, it was no shocker.
That was because this was a Royal Dragon Egg, an egg that only appeared once every ten thousand years.
Vincent was right, whoever possessed this Royal Dragon Egg had the potential to rule the world and dominate the Cultivation Realm.
This legend wasn’t just a tall tale.
It was real.
Why would possessing the Royal Dragon Egg grant such power?
Using his God’s Eye, Gilmore found the answer.
Millions of years ago, dragons ruled the world, wielding the most potent divine powers.
Over time, as the centuries rolled on, humans‘ cultivation strengths grew tremendously. There even emerged martialists with unparalleled skills capable of subduing and slaying dragons.
This shift in power meant that the Dragon Clan no longer held the title of the strongest beings in the world.
However, one shouldn’t underestimate the dragon clan’s strength.
Every ten thousand years, a Royal Dragon Egg–would be nurtured.
Once hatched, the Dragon Emperor inside rapidly matured and swiftly rose to become the most formidable dragon.
This dragon would send any human cultivator who dared challenge it running for the hills, thereby allowing the Dragon Clan to once again dominate the world and reign supreme in the Cultivation Realm.
So, through the countless eons, regardless of the Dragon Clan’s ups and downs, every ten thousand years when the Royal Dragon Egg appeared and hatched, it would ensure that the Dragon Clan returned to the pinnacle of the world.
Human cultivators soon learned of the secret of the Royal Dragon Egg.
Hence, they would lie in wait for the moment when the Dragon Clan nurtured the Royal Dragon Egg, ready to snatch it
away.
Once they had the Royal Dragon Egg, they would use various means to erase the dragon’s memory and turn it into their pet
beast.
The intention was to harness the unmatched power of the Dragon Emperor for their domination.
This was also the reason why the Eulogian Club desired the Royal Dragon Egg.
Upon receiving threats from the Royal Dragon Egg, Gilmore chuckled, saying, “Baby dragon, the reason I brought you here was genuinely out of kindness.”
“Hmph, I don’t believe you!” the Royal Dragon Egg, wrapped in a purple glow, trembled and retorted in a baby–like, sassy
voice.
“Why don’t you believe?” Gilmore inquired.
Sat,
The Royal Dragon Egg quivered in mid–air and responded, “White Dragon Grandpa told me about it.
You human cultivators are always plotting to steal me, wanting to make me your pet to do your wicked deeds.
“Humans are so bad!”
Gilmore hadn’t expected such wit from the unhatched Dragon Emperor.
“Hmm, your White Dragon Grandpa was right. Many human cultivators do covet the Royal Dragon Egg. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“But when I took you from the Dragon Hall, it wasn’t to keep you as my pet or to do evil.
“I feared that some bad guys might take you and exploit your powers for their own wicked deeds.”
“I don’t believe it! I don’t! All of you humans are in cahoots…” The Royal Dragon Egg wobbled in the air, as if vigorously shaking its head at Gilmore.

“You’ll come to believe one day that I’m not a bad guy. I’m your friend. And when you’ve truly become strong, fearing not bad guys, I’ll return you to Dragon Egg Island, your true home,” Gilmore assured with a gentle tone, as if patiently conversing with a baby.
“Is that really true?” This time, the Royal Dragon Egg floating in mid–air finally ceased its trembling.
Gilmore replied, “Yes, it’s the absolute truth.
“Baby dragon, from now on, you can live in this cave. No one will bother you, and no bad guy will come to steal you away. How does that sound?”
This time, the baby–like voice from the Royal Dragon Egg finally sounded pleased. “Yes, yes, I like this cavern dwelling. It’s so beautiful.”
At that, a smile crept onto Gilmore’s face. It seemed that this baby dragon inside the egg was just like a child, easily pleased by beautiful things.
“Baby dragon,” Gilmore began, “once you hatch from this egg and grow into a mighty dragon, you can return to your Dragon Egg Island.”
This was genuinely what Gilmore felt.
He had brought the Royal Dragon Egg from Dragon Egg Island, not because he wanted to control the egg to dominate the world.
Instead, he realized that if he didn’t take it, even if Vincent didn’t steal it, the Eulogian Club would send an even stronger martialist to the Dragon Hall to snatch it.
And he couldn’t allow the Eulogian Club to get their hands on the Royal Dragon Egg.
If they did and obtained the Royal Dragon Egg, then with the aid of the Dragon Emperor, they would surely turn the whole world into a living hell.
This was the real reason behind Gilmore’s actions.
Gilmore extended a finger toward the Royal Dragon Egg floating in mid–air.
The purple glow that wrapped around the egg’s surface suddenly turned into wisps of purple mist, all of which were absorbed into Gilmore’s finger.
The egg’s surface lost all its purple luminescence.
Then, as if it had suddenly regained its freedom, the Royal Dragon Egg joyfully flew around Gilmore.
“It feels so good to be free!
“Thank you, big brother!
“Seems like you aren’t the villain White Dragon Grandpa told me about.”
The Royal Dragon Egg buzzed around Gilmore, chattering non–stop.
Seeing that the egg no longer viewed him as a threat and accepted him as a friend, Gilmore felt reassured and smiled.
“Yes, I will protect you and won’t let any bad guys lay a finger on you.
Thus, he spent his time in the cavern, bonding with the Royal Dragon Egg.
When it was time to leave, he set up a Dragon Protection matrix spell he learned from the manual of Purple Dragon, ensuring that the Royal Dragon Egg inside the cavern would remain undisturbed by outsiders.
