[Ding: Brain Storage Activated]
…
Deep within an unnamed abyss of the Swallowed Star world's ocean—
A colossal creature, bearing a strong resemblance to an Eastern divine dragon, lay sprawled across the seabed.
It kept swaying its head, examining its claws, tail, and scales.
Its gaze was vacant, lost deep in thought.
This was the Thunder Dragon Emperor!
A creature of immense size—its body stretched over a kilometer from head to tail.
As the absolute overlord of this sea region, it was one of the two most powerful emperor-level monsters on the entire planet.
The Thunder Dragon Emperor should have been sitting high atop the food chain, leading a carefree life.
Whenever it felt displeased, it could stir up storms and launch a beast tide against the coastal human bases.
It was truly a supreme being, capable of looking down on all life.
And yet now… it couldn't bring itself to feel happy.
In fact, its eyes even showed a trace of fear, helplessness—bordering on despair.
If someone had dared approach it at this moment…
They might've heard it muttering to itself—
"Just my luck… I transmigrated, and into a dying monster, no less!"
Although it looked like the Thunder Dragon Emperor on the outside…
Its soul, its consciousness, definitely didn't belong to that dragon.
It was a transmigrator from Blue Star, the year 2024.
In its previous life, Lei Dong had been an avid anime fan.
So he knew very clearly:
Yes, he had transmigrated into a dragon.
And not just any dragon, but the Thunder Dragon Emperor—virtually unbeatable during the early stages of Swallowed Star.
But that was early stage.
On land, there was some guy named Luo Feng, rapidly rising in power.
Soon, Luo Feng would obtain an alien inheritance…
Not only would he reach the Planetary Level…
He'd also master telekinetic weapons, and kill him in a single strike.
And then there were the cosmic behemoths that could show up on this planet at any moment.
They would force all deep-sea monsters like him to launch a full-scale attack on human territory.
And then… one by one, they'd be sent to their deaths.
So how the hell was he supposed to survive?
Based on what he knew…
The Golden-Horned Beast hadn't arrived on this planet yet.
Luo Feng hadn't reached his peak either.
But it was only a matter of time.
At most, this Thunder Dragon Emperor had a year or two left to live.
"Is my fate as a transmigrator just to get slaughtered?"
Other transmigrators get god-tier starts—mine is hell mode!
And even if I somehow survive the Golden-Horned Beast and Luo Feng…
Before long, this blue planet will be targeted by alien civilizations.
Star-level or even Universe-level powerhouses will descend—
Any one of them could wipe out all high-level monsters on Earth with a flick of their finger.
Isn't that still a dead end?
What should I do? What do I do!? What can I do!?
[Ding! Detecting host's unwillingness to accept fate—Activating "Many Children, Great Fortune" System…]
[Binding complete!]
Just as Lei Dong was at a loss for what to do,
A mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
This was the signature cheat of all transmigrators!
And what he got was a system called Many Children, Great Fortune.
Could this be his lifeline?
"System, what can you do?"
Overjoyed, Lei Dong eagerly asked what the system was capable of.
[Ding! This system is the "Many Children, Great Fortune" System. Each new offspring you sire will greatly boost your strength, with a chance of triggering critical rewards.]
Now this was good.
This was exactly his style!
But even though he'd arrived in the Swallowed Star world…
His soul was still human!
You're not seriously expecting me to… do that with monsters, right?
That's disgusting!
Just now, a female sea serpent had slithered past, twisting her body seductively.
She even nodded at this old dragon!
What the hell!?
Did she want me to treat her like a spicy snack and swallow her whole!?
"System, how long until I grow stronger? Luo Feng could show up at any moment…"
Ah, the perks of being an anime fan—
He knew the plot like the back of his hand!
Even if the horrors hadn't started yet…
He could prepare in advance. At least he knew what he was going to face.
[To aid your development and help you survive the early danger period, the system has prepared a Starter Gift Pack.]
[Congratulations, Host, you have received: Gene Elixir of Human Transformation]
[Upon consumption, you will gain a temporary human form for 3 hours. As your strength increases, this time will extend, and you will be able to freely switch between human and dragon form.]
[Congratulations, Host, you have received: Semi-Emperor Weapon – Divine Furnace of the Goddess]
[No matter what kind of female—so long as she is carbon-based—she will develop affection for you.]
[If the host successfully sires offspring, rewards will be granted.]
[Once the child is born, additional rewards will be provided.]
[If your children go on to have children of their own, you'll also receive rewards. However, reward values halve with each generation.]
Perfect.
This system was amazing.
I was a perfectly normal guy, and now I'm a Thunder Dragon Emperor…
Good thing I get three hours of human form per day at the start.
That means I can spend that time finding human beauties.
No need to mess with those slimy sea snakes or fish…
And this "many children" system…
Say what you will, but when it comes to dragons—I know exactly how potent they are.
After all, Lei Dong was from the East. He knew how absurdly fertile dragons were.
And as long as a dragon was willing, it could mate with all sorts of races.
Isn't there an old saying?
"Dragons have nine sons, each one different."
Still, judging by his current mentality—
Lei Dong's tastes weren't that eclectic.
Now that he had the ability to transform…
His imagination began to run wild.
Luo Feng, huh?
Didn't he have a girlfriend named Xu Xin?
But back when Lei Dong watched the anime, his favorite was that long-legged aunt.
Sure, she was a villain, but that aunt named Venina? Absolute knockout.
When the anime aired, tons of fans declared they'd become "Cao thieves"—
Marry the aunt, kill Luo Feng!
Oh, and there was that enchanting warrior from the Extreme Martial Hall—
She was a top-tier beauty too!
Wahaha!
As long as he could transform into a human…
Lei Dong would practically be invincible!
After all, the Thunder Dragon Emperor was already at the Planetary Level.
Before that freak Luo Feng reached his prime…
Only people like Hong or Thunder God could suppress him.
But those two lofty human powerhouses weren't exactly walking around everywhere.
They rarely even showed up.
So, as long as he kept a low profile, Lei Dong wouldn't be in any real danger.
And once the "Many Children, Great Fortune" System started rolling… he wouldn't even need to fear those two.
Right?
Wuhu!
This system gets me!
"Forget it for now. I'll head closer to the shore and transform first!"
He found a spot near the coastline.
The Thunder Dragon Emperor flattened himself against the seabed, trying to stay off human radar.
Then he quickly pulled the gene elixir from the system.
Gulp!
Instantly, a refreshing sensation surged through his entire body.
The surrounding seawater began bubbling violently.
Blub, blub!
As if the ocean was boiling.
From beneath the boiling waves—
A muscular human male slowly emerged, wearing nothing but a pair of tattered leather shorts.
He gradually floated to the surface.
Nice. The system even gave me swim trunks.
Wait a minute… aren't these the ones I wore before transmigrating?
Right! I was on a beach back then…
As Lei Dong's thoughts wandered, he suddenly heard human voices nearby.
"There's someone! A man's floating over there—!"
Seemed like a human patrol ship, investigating the abnormal energy spike.
And they'd just discovered… the freshly-surfaced shorts-wearing man.
