Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 195 – Ancestor Dragon and Maggot Dragon
"Wait, wait!"
"What do you want? I'm busy, I don't have time to chat with you."
"I can sense the abundant magic and vitality within you. If you could sign a contrac—"
"Don't even think about it. I don't want any bugs in my head."
Li Meng had no intention of becoming a host for parasites.
"I can make you stronger, give you a more powerful body!"
"No need, I'm already strong enough."
"We can sign a life-sharing contract. I can use magic to enhance your body."
Li Meng impatiently placed the Red Centipede Dragon on the ground.
"Off you go, off you go. I won't kill you since you look so pitiful."
"I'll take a step back. Let's sign a blood contract."
"What's a blood contract?"
Li Meng asked curiously.
"When you live, I live. When you die, I live. When I die, you won't die."
Li Meng waved his hand dismissively.
That's no different from a life-sharing contract.
"No, no, I'm leaving!"
Li Meng stood up and started to walk away.

"Gobu Da, let's go!"
Gobu Da, who was standing nearby, was already dumbfounded.
The Great King was actually chatting with a bug.
This left him completely puzzled.
"Wait, a master-servant contract, I'm willing to sign a master-servant contract with you!"
The Red Centipede Dragon was getting anxious.
It quickly crawled onto Li Meng's foot.
"Great King, a bug, a bug!"
Gobu Da screamed and ran away.
Li Meng bent down and grabbed the Red Centipede Dragon.
"Maggot Dragon, you're really annoying. I've made myself clear, haven't I?"
"Master, you're strong, but your kin are weak. You need powerful servants to serve you. Only then can you survive in this world. Otherwise, one day you'll face an enemy you can't defeat alone."
"I don't know why you have such abundant vitality. Even signing contracts with over a thousand slimes hasn't affected you. Your abundant vitality gives you endless magic."
"Once you sign a contract with me, I can split into more entities to host the Dragonborn. I can use your magic to enhance the host's physique and gradually assimilate their spirit to make them loyal to you!"
The master-servant contract hadn't even been signed yet.
But the Maggot Dragon was already calling him master.
The Maggot Dragon's words made Li Meng somewhat tempted.
He indeed lacked high-level combat power right now.
Although his offspring were stronger than ordinary goblins.
No matter how strong, goblins couldn't surpass their limits.
Even the legendary Goblin King was merely an elite-level creature.
"Master, I won't parasitize your brain. I'll just make a home within your body."
Standing in the dim bamboo forest, Li Meng's expression changed.
Today's experience was too bizarre.
How did he encounter the ancestor of the dragons?
"Alright, just don't deceive me, or I won't let you off."
"I won't, I never lie!"
Li Meng didn't believe the Maggot Dragon's words.
But the Maggot Dragon's abilities were indeed useful to him.
"Master, this is my soul spirit, keep it safe!"
A small white light ball flew out from the Red Centipede Dragon's body.
It moved quickly and entered Li Meng's forehead in the blink of an eye.
[Captured soul spirit, would you like to sign a master-servant contract?]
The system prompt appeared immediately.
"Yes!"
[Master-servant contract successfully bound]
"Master, eat me, don't chew."
Looking at the Red Centipede Dragon in his hand, Li Meng frowned slightly.
At this point, he had no choice but to eat it.
Li Meng opened his ferocious mouth.
He closed his eyes and tossed the Red Centipede Dragon into his mouth.
Without chewing, he swallowed it whole.
"Master, I've arrived home!"
The Maggot Dragon's voice echoed in his mind.
This must be a form of mental communication through the master-servant contract.
"Gobu Da, you coward!"
Seeing Gobu Da hiding far away, Li Meng glared at him.
Gobu Da looked terrified.
The... the Great King actually ate the bug?
Gobu Da shrank his neck and quickly ran over obsequiously.
"Great King, you're amazing!"
Li Meng didn't bother with Gobu Da.
He turned and walked out of the bamboo forest.
"Let's go, we're heading back!"
"Yes, Great King!"
On the way back to the tribe, Li Meng started a conversation with the Maggot Dragon.
"Maggot Dragon, so all the split entities are you?"
"Yes, it's my innate ability to split my body and consciousness."
"You're quite useless, creating your own rebellion!"
If the Maggot Dragon was truly the ancestor of the dragons.
Then the Dragon God should also be a split entity of the Maggot Dragon.
Which means the split entities developed their own consciousness.
Not only did they break free from the Maggot Dragon's control.
But they also turned the tables and cursed the Maggot Dragon.
"Master, it's not like that. At that time, I didn't have self-awareness. Splitting and hosting were merely survival instincts. Over the long years, some split entities merged with the host's spirit and gained intelligence. They learned to think, learned how to become stronger, and sensed the existence of other split entities. They also sensed the chaotic consciousness of the main body, which is me."
"When I gained intelligence, the dragons had already risen to become the rulers of this world. They controlled the skies and the land and learned to manipulate the primordial magic of nature."
"When the dragons realized I had awakened, to break free from my control, they sacrificed themselves to create the most powerful deity, the 'Dragon God.' The Dragon God severed my connection with the split entities and cursed me with the most vicious 'Maggot Dragon Curse.'"
"The Maggot Dragon Curse deprived me of the ability to actively communicate with other creatures. I had to constantly absorb the host's magic and vitality to survive. If I couldn't absorb enough magic and vitality, the split entities would die."
In the dim forest, Li Meng and Gobu Da walked one after the other.
"Maggot Dragon, where is your main body?"
"Master, every split entity can be the main body."
Li Meng didn't delve further into this question.
Continuing to probe might lead to a very confusing answer.
"Maggot Dragon, what are Dragonborn?"
"Dragonborn are humans and magical beasts!"
Humans and magical beasts?
The Maggot Dragon's answer left Li Meng puzzled.
"Maggot Dragon, explain it to me!"
"Master, all magical creatures on the Augus continent are descendants of dragons, born from dragons and ancient creatures. Through generations of evolution, they created the current ecosystem."
"Humans are a general term for all intelligent species. Whether human or demi-human, they can be called 'humans.' Magical beasts are all magical creatures on the Augus continent with magical potential."
