Chapter 945

Dorothy recalled the characteristics of the White Night Dragon carefully, and she found that it seemed to be quite suitable for her.

Although, strictly speaking, the White Night Dragon is not considered a particularly powerful dragon species—it is even somewhat of a "vase" among legendary dragon species—its most notable feature is simply that it is beautiful.

Hmm, the "Most Beautiful Dragon"—that title is indeed well-deserved.

Those gorgeous white feathers, the perfect dragon body, and the White Night trait that brings its own radiance upon appearance make it practically a succubus among dragons, an absolute goddess; it only needs to show its face to capture the hearts of thousands of dragons, regardless of gender—it slays them all.

But apart from its looks, the White Night Dragon has no other notable features. It cannot control the power of rainbows like a Prismatic Dragon, it cannot master time like a Chronos Dragon, and it lacks the force-manipulation traits of a Force Dragon.

If one must say something, its dragon body quality has the strength expected of a legendary dragon species, but it is only at an average level; compared to some melee-specialized dragon species known for their powerful bodies, such as the Ruin Dragon or the Radiant Wrath Dragon, it seems lacking.

In short, if a witch is purely pursuing power, she probably wouldn't look twice at the White Night Dragon template.

But the Home Witch is not the type to excessively pursue power. In reality, she might care more about looks than power; after all, being strong or not is just a matter of a version or two, but whether one looks good is a lifelong matter.

Moreover, after transforming a few times, Dorothy specifically spent some effort researching the characteristics of the White Night Dragon, since this dragon transformation art was personally created by the Long Wang.

A product of Ni De Huo Ge must be a premium one.

The Home Witch really did not want to believe that the dignified Long Wang could personally create a "vase" forbidden spell. She firmly believed that the White Night Dragon must still hide some other characteristics, and that it must be because her level of development of this forbidden spell was too low and she hadn't mastered it yet.

Hmm, hmm, when she first chose this transformation spell, the introduction mentioned something about the power of destiny; perhaps it was because her "destiny insulator" constitution caused the White Night Dragon's destiny traits to be swallowed.

That was how she comforted herself.

However, after careful research, she actually discovered some hidden characteristics of the White Night Dragon: this dragon transformation art seems to have huge room for upgrades.

Hmm, low emotional intelligence: a "vase" dragon species, useless except for being good-looking and sturdy.

High emotional intelligence: a blank slate, a solid foundation, and it gives you enough freedom for development—a promising future.

This was not Dorothy's wild imagination; it was simply the truth.

She miraculously discovered that the White Night Dragon seems to be the most standard dragon template; it is versatile and compatible. You can freely transplant the traits of any other dragon species onto it without any rejection or contradictory reactions.

Simply put, you can use the White Night Dragon as a prototype and then choose any dragon traits you want, eventually putting together a unique template that best suits you.

Such a high degree of freedom is a quite powerful trait.

Although, once witches become powerful to a certain degree, they no longer need to rigidly copy template evolutions; they begin to jump out of the framework, evolving according to their own needs, eventually constructing a unique, perfect form that belongs only to themselves.

Take, for example, Ye Meng Jia De, who hangs around Dorothy's neck.

This ancestor sister's dragon-snake form has no prototype; among the pure-blooded dragons native to the Dragon Realm, there is no such appearance. Ye Meng Jia De's current dragon body is the most suitable form she customized and created herself according to her own needs.

This type of form is also called a "Divine Body" by witches.

This is very simple and easy to understand—it is literally the body of becoming a god.

Witches like Dorothy who walk the Path of Omniscience might not care much about evolution specialties, but for witches like Alice who are preparing to walk the Path of Omnipotence, the choice of specialties is very important.

For example, if she needs a fire-type ability now, if it were the Home Witch, she might choose to learn a Fireball spell and be done with it. But if it were Alice, making her study would be like killing her, so the little witch might choose to evolve a specialty with fire-breathing capabilities.

This is the main difference between the two paths of Omniscience and Omnipotence.

Omniscience focuses on mastering as much magic as possible, while Omnipotence focuses on innate specialties.

Usually, witches on the Path of Omniscience have many methods, while witches on the Path of Omnipotence have stronger power. The power brought by those innate specialties is indeed much stronger than simple spell power; your Fireball spell might not necessarily be as powerful as someone else's fire-breathing.

And the concept of the "Divine Body" was also proposed by witches on the Path of Omnipotence. In their vision, if they reach the end of evolution in the future and evolve their bodies into omnipotent existences, then naturally, they can become gods in the flesh.

But the ideal is plump, while reality is skinny.

The actual path of evolution is not easy to walk. It is not that you can evolve however you want; you have to consider the compatibility of innate specialties. Many innate specialties are contradictory; if you insist on forced evolution, you might play yourself to death.

For example, the most classic case: if you are a mermaid template and want to evolve a specialty like a "Body of Flame," that is purely courting death.

Therefore, before your strength level reaches the point where you can forcibly fuse attributes that are inherently opposed like water and fire, it is best to restrain yourself, put down the bold idea of free evolution in your heart, and honestly choose a fixed race template to evolve in order.

As for the construction of a unique "Divine Body," you should consider that after you at least reach the Peak level.

Of course, this is for commoner witches from ordinary backgrounds. If it is a witch family with an ancient heritage, they can have more choices; after all, their ancestors have already explored the path ahead for you.

A witch's energy in a lifetime is limited and cannot withstand several trial-and-errors. If you evolve recklessly and accidentally evolve wrongly, you might need to spend several times the time later to make up for this mistake.

But such mistakes are not without value. After predecessors try and fail, they can prevent successors from falling in the same place again. And as the experience of generations accumulates, they will eventually find the path to the "Divine Body."

This is what is called heritage.

Although the final "Divine Body" is unique and successors cannot directly copy the ancestors' experience, many similar experiences on the path of evolution can be learned.

For example, how to balance the innate talents of two opposing attributes like water and fire—predecessors might need to spend a lifetime exploring to solve this problem, but successors only need to learn the results of the predecessors to easily overcome the difficulty.

But obviously, these evolution experiences are the core heritage of major witch families and will absolutely not be passed on to outsiders. Even if they are required by regulations to be backed up in the Mana Web Library, they will absolutely not choose to make them public.

Therefore, if a witch born in an ordinary family wants to walk the Path of Omnipotence, she can only move forward blindly. Those who are bold might start taking risks and evolving; such people either have great luck and take off, becoming the foundation of a new witch family, or they go straight to the gutter, living a mediocre life.

And those who are timid can only follow the general template to the end. Although this is safe and stable, it is obviously inefficient. In this process, you will inevitably waste a lot of mana evolving a bunch of specialties that you won't use at all later.

Even if it's just not using them, it's fine. The most feared thing is that later, when you finally have the ability to start trying to construct a "Divine Body," you sadly discover that the "Divine Body" specialty you need is opposed to an ineffective specialty you originally had.

This is where it gets fun: either you use great talent to turn the two from opposition to unity, just like reconciling water and fire, and walk out a new path, or you have to find a way to discard that ineffective specialty.

In short, the detours are numbing.

Therefore, the Path of Omnipotence is basically rarely walked by witches from ordinary families now. After all, you are taking detours here, while the aristocratic witches are already trying to construct a "Divine Body" early on. The final result is that even though your talent is as excellent as the other party's, you are always lagging behind them step by step. That kind of frustration is really hard for ordinary people to bear.

And that's not even mentioning the resource gap between ordinary witches and aristocratic children.

The Path of Omnipotence is extremely money-burning. After all, although specialty evolution can burn all mana to force evolution, even the Three Kings' aptitude doesn't have that much mana to burn. Normal specialty evolution involves collecting various evolution materials to formulate specific specialty potions. Such potions can greatly reduce the mana consumption when a witch evolves a specialty.

It is said that some potions produced by masters can help witches save 70% to 80% of mana consumption. It's just that this way, mana is saved, but the wallet will wail.

Of course, for Dorothy now, she is not too short of money, and she originally knows a thing or two about potions, so she can formulate her own potions and save a large sum of money.

Moreover, now Long Ma has also given her the "Divine Body Secret Transmission" of the Ye Meng Jia De family. This notebook records the exploration experience of many ancestors of the Ye Meng Jia De family on the path of the "Divine Body," which will definitely help her avoid many detours.

But at this moment, doesn't the uniqueness of the White Night Dragon as a perfect blank slate show itself?

Treating this thing as a simple dragon transformation art is indeed a "vase" dragon, but if treated as an evolution template, this is the foundation of all changes.

A versatile template that, as long as the foundation is built, can evolve at will, no longer worrying about the opposition and contradictions between chosen innate specialties, can automatically reconcile opposition, and will absolutely not take detours—this is the best embryo for a "Divine Body."

As long as Dorothy is willing, she can have rainbow power in one hand, force power in the other, and hold a time breath in her mouth—just thinking about it feels very cool.

"Hmm, hmm, I just said that a product of the Long Wang must be a premium one. It turns out that I have been using the wrong method all along, treating a perfectly good evolution template as a dragon transformation art."

After realizing this, Dorothy silently repented to the great Long Wang in her heart.

Although she didn't know that she was purely thinking too much—Ni De Huo Ge didn't consider that much at all; this so-called White Night Dragon was truly just a bridal skin she created by comparing it to her own dragon body standards.

As for why the White Night Dragon has the foundation of all changes, that is simply because the Long Wang is the witch closest to the realm of omnipotence. Her dragon body is already infinitely close to a true Divine Body. And when she used herself as a template but omitted the detailed structure of the Divine Body, leaving only a foundation solid to the point of terror, and used this to create a White Night Dragon, then one has to ask how this template could not be solid.

This is a foundation capable of carrying the Long Wang's body; what specialty opposition could it not withstand?

Therefore, this is not some blank legendary dragon; this is actually a blank Long Wang body, or rather, a Long Wang larva.

Hmm, a true Divine Body should have been unique, but Ni De Huo Ge, out of XP considerations, stubbornly created a peer for her own Divine Body.

Of course, under normal circumstances, even if this template was created, no one should have the ability to evolve it. After all, even a larva is a Long Wang body, and the difficulty of evolution can be imagined. The threshold is not something an ordinary witch can reach, and those strong enough to meet the requirements would definitely already have their own Divine Body.

However, the Home Witch is obviously not an ordinary witch.

"I choose you, White Night Dragon. Let me see your evolution requirements."

Dorothy re-examined the "White Night Dragon Transformation Art."

【Learning requirement: Just be someone as beautiful as me and blessed by destiny.】

Hmm, this was the learning requirement noted when she first chose this forbidden spell. Before, the Home Witch only treated it as a spellcasting condition, but now looking at it again, she realized that this thing might be an evolution condition.

And the "me" in the condition obviously refers to Ni De Huo Ge herself.

Then, in this way, the threshold for this thing is terrifyingly high, requiring one to be as beautiful as the Long Wang and also blessed by destiny like her.

"Hmm, that's fine then, a quite simple threshold."

Dorothy nodded easily after reading it.

Although the Long Wang is indeed very beautiful, there is still a little distance compared to her "Divine Face." As for destiny, although she doesn't have the destiny of the King of Witches like the Long Wang, she is a natural saint—take note of that.

To be honest, she seems to have exceeded the standard by a lot. It actually seems like she is somewhat overqualified for choosing this template, but there's no help for it—who told her to be too excellent? So, she'll just make do with it for now.

"Hmm, next is the evolution recipe."

Dorothy adjusted her perspective and re-examined this forbidden-level dragon transformation art, which she had read many times before, from the perspective of an evolution template.

And after changing her perspective, she suddenly realized many things she had ignored when learning it as a forbidden spell.

"Hmm, sufficient beauty and the ability to freely control beauty, the status of a light god like a Sun God or Moon God, a physique at the level of a legendary dragon species, sufficient dragon-like beast nature, a heart that never yields..."

No, are you really setting requirements, or are you reading my ID card?

Dorothy is scratching her head.
