Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 477 - 286: Biotechnology Transformation Implemented, The Second Heart_2

"What’s going on with all this?"

After discovering the new survival rules, Terramus felt puzzled. After all, the signs of human interference were too obvious. He couldn’t understand why the Demon King who had captured him was treating him this way.

From the environment he lived in and the food he could obtain, it didn’t seem like abuse; rather, it resembled a special kind of training.

However, even though Terramus was trying hard to adapt, the changes in the environment far exceeded his ability to keep up. Whenever he thought he could have a period of stability, new changes in the rules targeting him would emerge.

The person who set the rules wanted to keep him in a state of constant mental tension, leaving him no peace, forcing him to endlessly fight with the undead.

"Father, is that you?"

Even during battles, Terramus kept thinking, and he locked the greatest suspicion on his own father.

How could the dignified Ancestor Dragon allow a Demon King to intrude into its palace, abduct its child, and still show no reaction for such a long time, seemingly not planning to retrieve him? Even his mother was strangely quiet.

All of this seemed deliberate. The only thing he couldn’t figure out was why the Demon King of the Undead Kingdom would follow his father’s orders.

Unfortunately, although Terramus guessed the truth, it had no impact on his current situation. He lacked the strength to verify the truth.

As the Holy Dragon’s Son engaged in a deathmatch game with numerous high-rank undead in the Demon King Palace, the Holy Dragon, ruling over thirty million citizens, was reviewing an application for a surgery bound to have extensive implications.

Dragon Blood Heart Transplant Surgery

This was both a surgical application and a biological experiment application.

The participant of this biological experiment, who would undergo the surgery, was a Dragon People residing in Elisium City for generations. He loved adventure, but unfortunately, during an outdoor mission, a giant in the jungle pierced his heart with a spear.

Even though his ancestors benefited from the dragonification blessings in Noah’s Domain, he was merely a Dragon People and not a Dragon-man. Moreover, even a high-rank Dragon-man would face a lethal injury if their heart was pierced before reaching Extreme Intent, unable to heal the wound before vitality was lost.

However, all this was in the absence of external intervention. This fortunate Dragon People happened to carry a Frozen Talisman and a Teleportation Scroll to Elisium City.

After his heart was pierced, he used the talisman to freeze his chest and escaped back to Elisium City, where he happened to encounter a mage specialized in biological modification from outside Mage City. Coincidentally, this mage’s research project was the transplantation of a second heart.

This wasn’t a simple biological modification of a synthetic beast but one of many biological modification projects proposed by some magicians in Mage City to support Noah’s goal of creating a legion.

Compared to self-cultivating warriors, who rely heavily on innate talents, require mentorship, and need continuous resource investment, resulting in low productivity,

this group of biological modification enthusiasts believed they could use stable and reliable methods to transform Dragon People with decent innate potential into powerful, stable, and reliable biological soldiers, continuously providing legion soldiers and reserves for the Holy Dragon Emperor.

However, all the subjects used for biological modification projects were captured dragonified monsters from the Dragon Domain, and no Dragon People with legal status had ever undergone a biological modification surgery.

"Truly, it’s a difficult decision!"

Looking at the application before him, Noah hesitated to agree because he knew that once approved, the many biotechnologies developed since the opening of the Dragon Domain would start emerging from laboratories.

Once these biological modification technologies entered reality, the changes they would bring were beyond Noah’s prediction, and despite his anticipation, he wanted them to be controlled.

"Approved!"

Noah didn’t linger over the decision too long. Techniques that had been validated multiple times ultimately needed to be implemented, or all the prior investment would be wasted.

Moreover, there would always be those eager to try; once they realized reasonable methods wouldn’t work, they would attempt to breach prohibitions, as seen in this surgical arrangement.

Heavens knew how this group found such an ideal recipient for the surgery? Too many coincidences gathered together were no longer coincidences; God only knew what these mages might do if they were suppressed continually.

Instead of allowing this group to scheme secretly, it was better to let them operate openly under his watchful eye.

"Wahoo~"

Having received approval for the Holy Dragon Order to proceed with the surgery, the mages, who were already prepared, all cheered simultaneously before hurriedly moving forward with the transplant surgery.

"What a group of madmen!"

Viewing the surgery process from above, even though Noah knew many related theories, when he saw the heart donors prepared by these mages, he couldn’t help but comment.

This group of biological modification magicians prepared two dragon hearts, one main and one auxiliary, for the heartless Dragon People. Both were from the Dragon Domain, one sourced from a Ridge Earth Dragon, the other extracted from a Hurricane Flying Dragon.

These were special mutated species not found outside the Dragon Domain. Once released, they could become leaders of either an Earth Dragon group or a Flying Dragon group.

This showed that these people truly went all out, well-prepared, aiming to make this surgery a classic case, creating a never-before-seen transformed dragon warrior.

Despite their ideas and actions being wildly imaginative and unconventional, Noah believed this surgery had a high chance of success.

Because the Dragon People’s blood origin was shared with both the Earth Dragon heart and the Flying Dragon heart, granting them high compatibility and strong adaptability, the inter-species rejection could largely be suppressed.

This was key to the success of this outrageous biological modification surgery.

Both specially treated dragon hearts were placed consecutively into the chest cavity of the Dragon People, who stood just under two meters tall. The magicians adeptly connected and sutured the heart’s blood vessels.

As the prepared plasma infused into the pale body of the Dragon People, the two dragon hearts, dormant for quite a while, began to beat energetically after being nourished, and the face of the vitality-depleted Dragon People visibly turned ruddy.

"Ha ha ha, by the Holy Dragon above, the surgery succeeded!"

"We did it!"

"Geniuses, we are simply geniuses!"

When the life force of the Dragon People who underwent surgery surged from a flickering candle to a roaring torch, all magicians involved in the surgery began to cheer.

"Don’t get too excited; we’ve only completed half of it. We still need to monitor his post-surgery response."

The magicians quickly calmed their emotions, expertly infusing a nutrient liquid that Noah found extremely familiar into a crystal vat, then placed the still-unawakened Dragon People inside.

For the following three months, the Dragon People could only quietly soak in the vat, not permitted to come out, even though he awakened half an hour after the surgery ended.

Having signed the surgical agreement, he had no choice but to cooperate and became a guinea pig for the magicians’ observation. Only when it was confirmed that the surgery was truly successful, with a complete fusion with the two dragon hearts and no rejection, could he regain freedom.

During this period, under the stimulation of the dragon hearts, this Dragon People’s physique underwent significant changes. His height, originally less than two meters, expanded gigantically to 2.5 meters, his body size swelling several times, becoming a little giant covered with dragon scales.
