Lind froze.
He did not expect that Klein had called Alisha over for this purpose.
"What's that got to do with me?"
Lind asked in confusion.
Since he wanted Alisha to bear the power of the Dragon God's Soul, why did Lind have to come along?
At this moment, Klein revealed a bitter smile.
He said, "Sir, you might not know this, but not everyone is qualified to withstand the Dragon God's Soul. To withstand the Dragon God's Soul, one must have the first generation's blood. And now, in the entire Dragon Cave, I'm the only one who has the first generation's blood. Even Ryan's blood is only second-generation blood, so he can't withstand the power of the Dragon God's Soul."
"Therefore, I hope that you can use the same sorcery as before to fuse my blood into Alisha's body and make her the carrier of the Dragon God's soul."
Lind couldn't help but ask when he saw Klein's sincere request.
"Of all the people, why did you choose Alisha?"
He recalled the half-dragon and half-human monsters along the way. This made him feel that bearing the Dragon God's Soul was not necessarily a good thing.
Klein explained, "Because they can't!"
"They've already completed the awakening ritual. They already have dragon blood on them. Alisha doesn't. She's not an Awakened, so she doesn't have dragon blood on her. That's why she won't dilute my blood."
Lind wanted to say something else.
But a cold voice sounded from behind him.
"I agree."
Lind turned back to see Alisha looking at him with determined eyes.
She repeated and confirmed.
"I'm willing to accept Klein's blood."
Lind pulled Alisha aside and said in a low voice, "You're crazy. Didn't you see those guys on the road just now? You might become like them too."
Hearing Lind's words, Alisha suddenly smiled like a flower.
Even through the black veil, Lind could feel the smile in Alisha's eyes.
"Mr. Ander, don't tell me you're concerned about me."
Lind was rendered speechless by Alisha's words.
He suddenly realized that he had unknowingly started to care about Alisha's safety.
"After all, the two of us have gone through life and death together. We can at least be considered friends."
"Friends?" Alisha seemed pleased to hear the word. She hadn't heard the word here in a long time.
To her, the word 'friend' seemed a little extravagant.
At this moment, there seemed to be a strange glint in her eyes.
"It's okay, Mr. Ander," she said to Lind. "I want the power to protect everyone, too!"
Alisha's determined gaze made Lind not know how to refuse. After thinking about it for a long time, Lind finally compromised.
He nodded and said to Alisha, "In that case, so be it."
Lind glanced at Klein.
Klein nodded back, indicating that he was ready.
At this moment, Lind's blood was just enough to cast one Archmage-level Blood Spell.
He followed the previous procedure and cut Klein and Alisha's wrists.
Blood flowed from their wrists.
Then, he cast the Blood Furnace spell.
Their blood merged, and Alisha felt a surge of power through her.
Blood flowed through every vein in her body, sending a numbing tingling sensation through her body.
Because of the pain, Alisha curled up on the ground and whimpered.
However, she bit her lips and did not let the pain take away her consciousness. In the end, she persevered.
Still, Alissa was already drenched in sweat and her face was flushed.
Klein, on the other hand, looked even worse because of the second blood donation.
Fortunately, because he was a dragon, his physique was strong enough. Even if he donated blood twice, he only made himself weaker and did not faint.
"Alisha, come with me!" Klein stretched out his hand with difficulty and said to Alisha.
Alisha reached over, and he took her hand as they approached the giant sphere of light.
Klein raised his head and muttered a string of ancient syllables.
This string of syllables was similar to a magic incantation, but there were differences.
As Klein recited the incantation, the light ball in front of him emitted a brighter and brighter light.
There seemed to be a soft voice in Alisha's ears, as if her mother was calling her.
Alisha couldn't help but reach out to the ball of light.
The ball of light suddenly flashed and landed on Alisha.
The light was soft and warm, causing Alisha to fall asleep.
She felt as if she had fallen into a dream.
In her dream, she saw a towering tree.
This tree looked no different from an ordinary tree.
However, it seemed to be infinite in size. Every leaf seemed to contain a world.
A pure white dragon coiled on the tree, like warm white jade, emitting a holy light.
Alisha walked toward the tree. The white jade dragon seemed to sense Alisha's arrival and slowly opened its eyes.
It looked at Alisha and spoke.
"My child, you're here."
"Who are you?" Alisha asked.
"I'm the Dragon God of Illusions and Dreams. I've been waiting for you here for a long time," the white dragon said softly.
"But I'm not your descendant. I only borrowed the blood of your descendant to come here." Alisha was embarrassed by the dragon's enthusiasm.
She thought that the dragon in front of her had mistaken her for its descendant.
As for Alisha, she had only borrowed Klein's blood to come here.
"That's not the case. No matter how you came here, since you've arrived here, it means that you're the person of fate." The white dragon spread its wings and flew in front of Alisha.
The white dragon's wings were very beautiful, and its dragon scales were incomparably exquisite. In fact, under the light, they even shone with a dazzling seven-colored light. It was beautiful.
"There will be a calamity in this world. Only a few people are qualified to be chosen by God to change their fate. And you, my child, are the person I chose," the white dragon said to Alisha.
Alisha suddenly felt a burning sensation in her chest.
She looked down and saw a petal-like brand on her chest.
Alisha panicked, not knowing what was going on.
The white dragon said, "There's no need to panic, my child. This is my contract with you. With this mark, you can obtain power from me. From today onwards, you will be my apostle."
"Then what should I do?"
Hearing the white dragon's words, Alisha was confused.
She only knew that she seemed to be given a responsibility for no reason.
The white dragon only chuckled at Alisha's question.
"Don't worry, my child. Just do what you want. When the time comes, fate will push you down the path you need to go."
The white dragon's voice was getting further and further away. Alisha also felt that her consciousness was breaking away from the dream.
At last, she dropped abruptly, opened her eyes, and saw Lind's face.
