"Is this the form after my Dragonkin bloodline completely awakens?"
Bai Luo was not dissatisfied with his current appearance, as this state was not permanent.
If he wished, he could retract the dragon features at any time and return to his human form.
This was similar to Milim among the Demon Lords.
In addition, Bai Luo also possessed the Dragon Transformation ability that Milim did not.
Magic Dragon Transformation.
Description: Completely unleash the magic essence within the body to construct a Dragon Kind body. This process will absorb a large amount of magic essence, and each use will result in a period of weakness.
"Magic Dragon Transformation, absorbs a large amount of magic essence..."
"It looks like a transformation skill."
Bai Luo secretly wondered, "I wonder how much magic essence it can increase, and how much stronger it can make me?"
Report: The magic essence after the current Magic Dragon Transformation will be 10 times that of the half-dragon transformation state.
"What?"
Bai Luo was first delighted, then immediately reacted, "Who are you? Great Sage?"
Report: This being is Unique Skill: world's voice, not Great Sage.
"???"
Bai Luo was stunned for a moment. He thought of something and asked, "Are you the new ability I just acquired?"
Report: Yes.
Unique Skill: world's voice: A superior substitute for Unique Skill: Great Sage, possessing the following multiple abilities:
Thought Acceleration: Increases perception speed by a thousandfold.
Analysis and Appraisal: Analyzes target objects and performs Appraisal.
Parallel Processing: Can separate the desired analysis from the thought process for calculation.
Chant Annulment: No need for spell chanting procedures when using magic or other skills.
All-Encompassing: Encompasses all unshielded information in this world.
The above abilities are very similar to Rimuru's Great Sage.
However, Bai Luo's world's voice also possessed some abilities that the Great Sage did not.
For example, 'Central Connection' can analyze, store, and extract different rules.
There are also functions such as 'Gate Management', 'Space-Time Stabilization', 'Anchor Engraving', and 'Starry Sky Projection'.
"How did you come into existence?"
Bai Luo merely glanced at the various abilities of the world's voice.
More than these, he wanted to know where the world's voice came from and whether it would harm him.
"Notification: This body is a brand new manifestation of rules, born from the origin of the individual 'Bai Luo' and fused with the rules of the Cardinal World."
Simply put, the world's voice here is not the same as the rule incarnation of the Cardinal World.
The Cardinal World was created by the Star Dragon King, and afterward, he loaded his wife Lucia's voice into it, turning it into a kind of world will-like existence.
However, the true world's voice has no soul or self; it is a pure tool.
"Do you have your own consciousness?"
"Notification: Yes."
The newborn world's voice was born from the soul origin of Bai Luo.
Afterward, because Bai Luo traveled between the Pokémon, Konosuba, and Douluo World.
During this process, the world's voice continuously absorbed new rules.
Finally, it absorbed enough power of laws, and with Bai Luo's breakthrough to Special A-Rank, it successfully came into being.
"So, you were born because I kept traversing worlds?"
"Notification: Yes."
"This really is…"
Bai Luo understood; he really hadn't expected things to develop this way.
The Cardinal World is a chaotic world created by the Star Dragon King.
As a world, it does not possess self-awareness or emotions; it merely mechanically executes pre-set programs step by step.
The Great Sage in the original work was essentially usurping the authority of the world's voice.
In the end, it even subtly replaced the will of the Cardinal World.
When Rimuru became the Creator God, Ciel naturally became the world's will of the Cardinal World.
"What is your purpose?"
Bai Luo couldn't describe what he felt about the world's voice.
First, there was closeness, a feeling of bloodline compatibility.
Next was trust, and absolute control.
As Bai Luo's ability, the world's voice is inherently a part of his power.
If Bai Luo wished, he could easily erase the consciousness of the world's voice, turning it into a program without self, only knowing how to execute predetermined commands.
"Notification: Purpose one, to help the individual 'Bai Luo' grow better."
"Notification: Purpose two, to perfect myself and control the Cardinal World."
"I can understand the first one, but 'perfect myself' and 'control the Cardinal World' in the latter, do I understand it correctly?"
Bai Luo: "You want to become the 'Heavenly Dao' of the Cardinal World?"
"Notification: Yes."
Without Bai Luo, the world's voice would not have been able to absorb the rules of the Pokémon, Konosuba, and Douluo World, thereby allowing its own consciousness to emerge.
As for their relationship...
The world's voice shares the same origin as Bai Luo, with Bai Luo as the primary.
Once Bai Luo falls, the world's voice will also disappear.
Therefore, the world's voice will never harm Bai Luo; it will only do its utmost to help and protect him.
"But the Cardinal World, is it willing?"
One should know that previously, the Cardinal World had helped Bai Luo negotiate with the Sinnoh Great Venerable.
And both sides tacitly chose to cooperate and grow together.
However, in the face of such immense benefits, Bai Luo found it difficult to choose.
On one side was his own, on the other, an outsider.
If the world's voice could become the Heavenly Dao of the Cardinal World, then Bai Luo would be the Lord of the World.
Surely, what Ciel in the original work could do, Bai Luo's world's voice couldn't?
Rather than leaving it to the future Rimuru, it would be better for Bai Luo to intercept it in advance.
"Notification: The rules of the Cardinal World are not as the host believes."
"Hmm?"
Bai Luo: "How so?"
"Notification: The Cardinal World will never develop self-awareness; this is a fundamental program written by the Star Dragon King at the beginning of creation, and no one can change it."
"Then, what is the world's will that helped me traverse worlds?"
"Notification: The world's instinct!"
In the words of the world's voice, if the world were a living organism...
Then growth, self-strengthening, and continuous dimensional elevation would be its instincts.
"That way of speaking…"
Bai Luo complained, "How am I like some kind of probiotic, which the Cardinal World discovered and instinctively chose to coexist with?"
"Notification: That is the truth."
"To what extent can you do it?"
Bai Luo: "Replace the will of the Cardinal World and manage its rules?"
"Notification: As a newborn, I am very weak and not yet capable of large-scale interference with reality."
"Notification: I can only achieve limited rule modification."
"Uh…"
Alright, Bai Luo understood.
It means that the Star Dragon King established the rules of the Cardinal World.
Although the world's voice has gained self-awareness, she cannot go against the will of the Star Dragon King.
What it was originally, it will remain in the future.
The world's voice cannot overtly grant Bai Luo an unfair advantage; it can only help him through a backdoor.
