22 Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool

When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing on a ground filled with grass. Large and tall greenish trees surrounded him, with wild animal noises could be heard from time to time. At his side, a small white wall was resting in the grass, sleeping soundly.

In reality, she was not that small in comparison to him. However, Jacob was now a young dragon. A young dragon was larger, stronger, and more powerful than a baby dragon. The difference was comparable to that between a tree and a bush.

A young dragon also gained wings, which made him finally look like a proper dragon. Since his sister was still a baby dragon, she lacked wings, which made her resemble a medium size lizard.

Surprisingly, they were both white. Jacob wondered if it was because they were related or if all newborn dragons had white scales. The Old Dragon had silver scales, therefore, there had to be something he did not know about the color of the scales.

Furthermore, there was also something else about the scales. The Old Dragon's silver scales were not only from a different color, but also appeared to have been made from metal, as if his magical affinity had been fused into his body in order to give birth to a new dragon's species.

At this time, Jacob remembered that he still had the reward from the two completed quests. When he checked his Status, he saw the Trial Quest's reward, but he did not try to use his chance for the Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool.

He was eager to know what kind of dragon bloodline he would get from the Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool. Based on the Pool's name, he assumed that he could only obtain divine bloodlines, but it was still a mystery to him to understand what a divine bloodline was.

"System, open the Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool." Jacob spoke loudly instead of giving the order with his thoughts.

He was not worried about discovering the existence of the System, as he was back in the forest where the only danger was low level beasts. He was sure that now that he had leveled up, he had become a top predator.

This reminded the young dragon to check in the System to see if he had any available magic to use, since he had awakened a magical affinity. But it would have to wait until he used his chance at the Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool.

Immediately after Jacob called the System, a new screen appeared in front of his eyes, but it was unlike any of the previous System screens. It was formed in the shape of a rocky mountain, with a high peak and steep slopes.

The rock was white and transparent, as if it were made of white crystals. There was no vegetation, making the mountain look desolate and barren. The white stones, on the other hand, appeared sacred and powerful, exuding an otherworldly aura.

Above the summit, the words "Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool" were inscribed in gold in the sky, as if the sky had been replaced with gold just to form these words.

However, when Jacob had read the words, something significant happened. The crystalline mountain began to shake, and the words in the sky began to melt, pouring a layer of gold over the mountain's peak.

At this moment, Jacob seemed to hear a robotic voice in his head, coming from the System.

[The Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool has been activated. Checking the available bloodlines... The System has completed the preparations.]

[Host will obtain a divine dragon bloodline at random from a total of 253 divine dragon bloodlines found in the System. There are 120 low-level bloodlines, 86 medium-level bloodlines, 25 high-level bloodlines and 5 peak-level bloodlines.]

[The System wishes the Host good luck. Starting the Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool… Choosing between 120 bloodlines…]

At this point, the melted gold in the mountain's summit was absorbed by the crystal stones, gradually disappearing into the mountain's interior and causing the crystalline mountain to slowly change colors.

After the mountain completely absorbed the golden liquid, the mountain's crystals shone purple, and then immediately changed to red, orange, and yellow in that order. When it stopped in yellow, the System sent an alert.

[Congratulations! The Host has broken through the low-level barrier in the Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool. Removing 120 low-level bloodlines from the pool…]

[The 120 low-level bloodlines were successfully removed. Resuming the Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool…]

"..." Jacob White was tense beyond relief. Somehow, he had gotten a higher chance of drawing a high-level bloodline, or so he thought when the System informed him of breaking the low-level barrier.

Immediately after, the mountain changed colors again, but this time there were two colors. The bottom was colored in yellow, while the top was constantly changing colors. After about a minute, the top color changed to brown, and a new System's message appeared.

[Congratulations! The Host has broken through the middle-level barrier in the Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool. Removing 86 middle-level bloodlines from the pool…]

[The 86 middle-level bloodlines were successfully removed. Resuming the Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool…]

This time, the mountain was not changing colors. The bottom stayed yellow, while the top remained brown. It was the sky which was changing. At one moment it was daylight, and at another, it was night-time.

The Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool also seemed to perfectly recreate the white Sun and the gray Moon in the sky, which were always shining on the crystalline mountain regardless of the hour.

After five minutes, the Sun no longer appeared. The Moon stood quietly in the night, showing the mountain in moonlight. At this point, the Moon began to melt, causing silver drops to fall into the two-colored mountain.

As the silver drops fell into the mountain, the crystals which formed the mountain began to shine brighter and brighter,causing a golden light to form from the mix of yellow and brown. Suddenly, Jacob was startled. He began to hear strange sounds coming from the mountain.

He could hear the Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool emitting eerie cries. The voice was deep and otherworldly, filling Jacob with cold sweat.

"System! Stop! Close the Divine Dragon Bloodline Pool!"
