After a long period of eating, sleeping, and eating, Caesar was finally free from the troubles caused by his erratic hunger. In truth, this also meant that his body's demand for a certain element had reached saturation. Because of this, Caesar could finally enter a relatively stable and continuous period of deep sleep.
Due to the strong energy collision, the turbulence of the rays, and the loss of the atmosphere, the climate of the northern lands was constantly changing. The butterfly effect caused a chain reaction that even caused the movement of the earth's crust to intensify. Under the pressure of the underground plates, the broken mountain range that had been cut in half by Tiamat's divine punishment began to rise continuously. Even the small hills and plains around it were being lifted up continuously.
These mountain peaks were coincidentally located at the border of the Blackwing Empire. Accompanying their rapid formation was a high-frequency earthquake that affected the entire northern lands. What was even more exaggerated was that due to the abnormal changes in the earth's crust, huge cracks were constantly appearing in this region, making the path to the Blackwing Empire even more dangerous and difficult to cross.
From a certain perspective, this was also a natural barrier.
As the temperature continued to drop, the northern lands gradually changed into a warm and humid rainforest climate. The number of streams and lakes in the entire northern region increased by quite a bit. However, the vegetation did not increase at this stage. Looking down from above, the entire northern lands were still covered by yellow sand and plains.
However, if the climate and rainfall could be maintained after the change, there was no doubt that large patches of vegetation would appear after a long period of time. The entire northern lands would become a lush and lush rainforest.
Of course, the changes in the terrain and climate were noticed by the Empire. However, before the news reached the Imperial Court, the half-asleep Caesar had already known about it. Using this opportunity, he finally understood the function of the miniature city of Black Dream. It was essentially a panoramic view from above, allowing him to monitor the changes in the Blackwing Empire and its surroundings in real time.
The Black Dragon's body now seemed to be one size larger than before. The surface of his body temperature continued to rise, and his scales revealed a dark red luster under the water as if they were red-hot molten metal. In his sleep, the ends of his scales discharged some organic and inorganic substances that had accumulated in his body due to the absorption of minerals. These impurities did not spread outwards but instead mixed with the lake water. Due to the weak energy around Caesar, they covered and flowed over his body as if ignoring gravity.
Inside Caesar's body, the changes were still ongoing. The glands and sacs that secreted the exhalation substance had begun to change. They had become larger and more numerous. Some brand new honeycomb-shaped crystalline organs had also appeared in his body, especially the parts near his throat, which were rapidly developing.
At the same time, his body stealthily avoided Caesar's attention, stealthily stealing the energy of the fission furnace. With this, he began to adjust his body in almost all aspects. This was also one of the reasons why Caesar had never been able to restore his energy core to its optimal state.
Near the blood vessels in his body, new tubular organs began to proliferate. These organs were all hollow after they were formed, and no blood flowed through them. The ends of these tubes were connected to the fission furnace, but they did not absorb the energy it produced. It was as if they had been prepared in advance for other things.
The Black Dragon's breath had not been strengthened much in his sleep because the method of production was still chemical synthesis. Its lethality and storage capacity were not much different from before. However, due to the proliferation and mutation of his body tissues, Caesar's air intake compression ratio had increased slightly, so his breath could reach farther, wider, and more powerful. That was all.
As for Caesar's fission breath, because it was directly supplied by the furnace, its power did not increase when the furnace was damaged. Instead, it decreased by more than one energy level. The new honeycomb-shaped crystalline organs in his throat were not prepared for the fission breath. They were waiting for something new.
The Black Dragon's body began to glow. This glow was accompanied by high temperature and radiation, but it was well suppressed. The guy's internal organs were constantly damaged and corroded by the radiation he subconsciously released, and then they were constantly repaired and regenerated, growing into a stronger, more resilient, and more resistant appearance.
Apart from that, there were also some unusual small pieces of flesh that were constantly proliferating. At first, they only took root and sprouted in some empty places in Caesar's body, but later they had the tendency to spread to the internal organs. Soon, they eroded Caesar's internal organs and fused with them.
After that, the Black Dragon's internal organs no longer festered under the high temperature and radiation. Instead, they seemed to have been assimilated, and they began to emit heat and radiation. It had to be said that the adaptive adjustment system carried by the autonomous control unit was still an important ability for Caesar. It was also the foundation of the Black Dragon's ability to accommodate many abnormal abilities.
In the end, Caesar's muscles and scales gained a new special ability. They blocked out the radiation, and could be released at any time under Caesar's subjective control.
With the further adjustment of his body, Caesar gradually felt better. He could begin to enter a deeper sleep. The surface area of the hot spring lake began to expand under the influence of the energy and continued to emit high temperatures. After discovering this, Leon immediately led the spellcasters to set up a heat-insulating spell around the lake. However, they still could not completely maintain the original environment.
No one knew what had happened to the Black Dragon Emperor, but in the following period of time, the hot spring lake had already turned into boiling magma in the eyes of mortals. This place began to be filled with the smell of sulfur, and gradually emitted a suffocating poisonous gas. Occasionally, electric arcs would jump on the surface of the lake, making this place even more terrifying.
In the second month of the Black Dragon Emperor's slumber, the originally pleasant hot spring lake was no longer suitable for ordinary creatures to live in. The guards and servants who were originally in charge of watching over the place had no choice but to withdraw from this place. Even Luna didn't receive any preferential treatment. She had no choice but to angrily pout and find a safer place to build a small house.
However, this time, Caesar should have slept for too long. He knew this, and so did Luna. The Black Dragon's slumber cycle was different from other true dragons, which often lasted for more than ten years. Judging from the previous situation, three years was a relatively long time for him to sleep. Caesar had not reached the next age yet, but his body had a series of adaptations. This time, it should only take three months to half a year for him to fully awaken.
During the Black Dragon Emperor's slumber, the Empire still maintained a stable operation. The messy news about Airadia was also handed over to Hogg. However, there was nothing new under the sun, so after Caesar fell asleep, there was no great turmoil in Airadia. The only thing that was worth reporting to Hogg was that the black-blooded beast Malar had completely abandoned Airadia, and that the believers of the God of Hunting were gradually disappearing.
