21st Century Necromancer

While Chen Yu was searching for a way to allow Jounouchi Hiromi to conceive a child, she too was seeking potential solutions to the problem.

"Xiao Lan, how does the Giant Dragon Clan breed offspring?" Since she was now a Pureblood Giant Dragon, it made sense for Jounouchi Hiromi to turn to a real giant dragon as her first option regarding queries about dragons.

"For adult giant dragons, most engage in normal reproduction with their mates," Xiao Lan naturally had no trouble answering this question: "Although the vast majority of dragons live solitary lives, once every hundred years or so, they go into heat, and then the dragons living in a certain area will gather together for mating activities. Typically, the strongest dragons will have the advantage and can choose a mate they prefer first.

The mating period lasts anywhere from a few months to several years, ending after all the female dragons become pregnant. Some male dragons will accompany the females to their nests to take care of the soon-to-be-born offspring, which usually happens among Benevolent Dragons or the Metallic Dragon Clan.

As for the Blue Dragons, if the male is not strong enough, he will be driven away by the female, who will then lay and incubate the eggs alone. A mother dragon can typically lay three to five dragon eggs in a single clutch, which depends on how robust the mother is, and there are differences among the various types of female dragons, but most have only this many in one clutch.

Dragon eggs hatch within two to three years, but the hatching process can sometimes produce Dragon Beasts without intelligence. Benevolent Dragons might raise Dragon Beasts before driving them out of the nest, while Evil Dragons might either throw them out or simply devour them as food for their true offspring. The young dragons will live in their mother's nest for around 50 years until they grow into Young Dragons, at which point they can leave the mother's nest to live independently," Xiao Lan elaborated.

Listening to Xiao Lan's explanation, Jounouchi Hiromi understood how dragons propagated, but she still hadn't received the answer she wanted, so she asked Xiao Lan again, "What about the Dragon Clan and other species? Can they have offspring together? Are they born from eggs or as infants?"

"Regarding this issue... although there are indeed giant dragons who enjoy transforming into humanoid creatures and then mating with humans, which has indeed led to the proliferation of Half-Dragon People and Half-Dragon Creatures, I must emphasize one thing, those so-called Half-Dragon People are not strictly considered offspring of giant dragons," Xiao Lan mentioned this topic with a hint of difficulty but still provided an answer to Jounouchi Hiromi.

"Not considered the offspring of dragons? Why?" Jounouchi Hiromi found this statement surprising.

"To explain this topic, one must first understand what is considered legitimate offspring recognized by giant dragons." This was a question that every giant dragon should know the answer to, but since Jounouchi Hiromi was not a standard giant dragon, Xiao Lan still took the time to explain it very seriously: "For giant dragons, having Dragon Bloodline is not the mark of whether one is part of the Giant Dragon Clan, nor is it the standard by which dragons judge their own offspring. If we were to evaluate based on lineage, the Dragon Beasts hatched from those dragon eggs are much purer than the Half-Dragon People or Half-Dragon Creatures simply by virtue of their bloodlines."

"Yet, they are not acknowledged by the Giant Dragon Clan and may even be killed outright. So for the Giant Dragon Clan, the criterion for judging offspring is not the bloodline, is it?" Jounouchi Hiromi thought about what Xiao Lan had just said and asked reflectively.

Xiao Lan nodded gently, and while nodding, continued to explain, "To the Giant Dragon Clan, whether a creature is considered an offspring of the Dragon Clan depends on whether it can receive the legacy of the clan rather than whether it has the clan's bloodline. While it's impossible to obtain the Dragon Clan's legacy without the bloodline, bloodline itself is indeed not the criterion of assessment.

Just like you, master. Although you acquired the Dragon Bloodline through magical means, you have gained the knowledge of the Dragon Clan's legacy. Regardless of how much of the legacy you've received, as long as you have obtained it, you are acknowledged as part of the Dragon Clan. Otherwise, even if you become a deity, you would not be recognized by the Giant Dragon Clan."

"Whether I'm acknowledged by the Dragon Clan doesn't matter to me, I just hope to have a child with Mr. Chen Yu. Whether he belongs to the Dragon Clan or not, could the lineage of Necromancers be inferior to that of the Dragon Clan?" Jounouchi Hiromi took a deep breath and wasn't bothered about whether her child had to be part of the Dragon Clan.

Xiao Lan didn't mind this and did not feel that the Dragon Clan had been insulted. Although the Dragon Clan was very powerful, in the grand scheme of the Multiverse, the legacy of Necromancers indeed wasn't inferior to that of the Dragon Clan. If a confrontation were to occur, the Dragon Clan could certainly summon those Dragons of Calamity left from the Ancient Era, but among the Necromancers, there were also ancient Necromancers who disdained even Divine Position and were horrifying beings that could slaughter deities and use them as experimental subjects. The terrifying reputation of Necromancers in the Multiverse that could silence the cries of young dragons at night stemmed largely from these ancients.

"If that's the case, it shouldn't be a problem. The Giant Dragon Clan typically uses Advanced Transformation Magic to completely transform themselves into the target species, then live and breed with them," Xiao Lan, leaving aside other concerns, offered Jounouchi Hiromi the Dragon Clan's method: "For humans, I remember dragons have specifically developed Human Transformation Magic. You can try that, master. Although you now have a human form, you are essentially still a dragon, actually a Legendary Dragon, so Human Transformation Magic should still work on you."

"Human Transformation Magic? Could that really be effective?" Jounouchi Hiromi's eyes lit up upon hearing this from Xiao Lan, she wouldn't mind becoming human if it could solve the problem. After all, wasn't she originally just an ordinary human?

"It should work, but you need to keep in mind that once you become human, your mate is still a Demigod being. A normal human body cannot carry the bloodline of a demigod," Xiao Lan reminded Jounouchi Hiromi.

"Let's talk about that issue later. For now, let's solve my problem first. Tell me the Spell," Jounouchi Hiromi didn't want to dwell too much on that issue and directly asked Xiao Lan for the Human Transformation Magic it mentioned.

Xiao Lan sighed and didn't immediately teach the Spell to Jounouchi Hiromi but said to her, "Master, after your bloodline ascended again, you've obtained the complete Giant Dragon legacy. If you reflect carefully, you'll be able to attain the information about this spell from the Legacy Seed."

Hearing Xiao Lan say this, Jounouchi Hiromi closed her eyes at once and began searching her memory.
