The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Is there still an egg in the refrigerator?

Hearing Youyou's call, Luo Yan was surprised and quickly walked into the next room.

As he crossed the open cabin door, he saw Youyou's round body reflected on the smooth glass mirror.

At that moment, that guy resembled a lively jellyfish, floating back and forth around a sleek metal box.

A faint layer of frost had formed on the transparent glass lid. In terms of shape, it somewhat resembled the life support pod in the neighboring room.

However, what lay inside was not a living being but an egg as large as a basin!

Luo Yan approached to observe and found that the surface of the dull gray eggshell was covered with dense scale-like patterns.

His expression subtly changed.

No mistake—

This is a dragon egg!

Or in the academic terms of the Zeta Empire, it's a "d-7447 fleshing lizard egg."

"Unbelievable... this egg seems to be alive!" Youyou hovered beside the hibernation pod, excitement filling her voice.

"Indeed... this hibernation device has worked for 1000 years without losing power. It seems the technological power of the Zeta Empire is far beyond our imagination."

Luo Yan slightly nodded, inwardly astonished.

Just as he reached out to the interface that seemed to be a touch screen, intending to terminate the hibernation to reclaim this rare magic material, Youyou suddenly exclaimed.

"Wait a minute!"

"What is it?" Luo Yan instinctively withdrew his hand, casting a puzzled glance at Youyou.

Youyou floated closer to the dragon egg, circling it twice, seemingly to take a closer look.

After a moment, she returned to Luo Yan's side, her voice tinged with a sense of disbelief.

"Lord Demon King... it seems like there's a soul attached to this egg!"

An attached soul?

On this egg?

Surprise was even more evident in Luo Yan's eyes.

"Are you sure?"

"Mhm! Absolutely no mistake!" Youyou excitedly nodded her abstract head, chattering, "It's curled up inside the yolk, I almost didn't notice it!"

Luo Yan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, a cautious expression surfacing, as he stared at the dull gray egg, lost in thought.

This was indeed peculiar.

According to the theory he learned at the Demon King Academy, "newborn souls" are usually gradually formed during the growth after birth, not present at the moment of birth.

The specific time point is usually after learning to speak, with very few exceptions occurring earlier.

From this time point onward, a person's memory becomes nearly continuous, as if the code written in the brain is activated, where animal nature predominates over human nature, and the soul and body are completely united, only separable by death.

This is the so-called first reincarnation, or the first time being human.

People like this often have a strong "NPC attribute," with the advantage of not having entangled karmic connections from past lives, but also the disadvantage of unfamiliarity with being human for the first time, and due to just establishing karmic links with the world, their presence is weak, giving all they've got might only get them a decimal point in the grand scheme.

Whether in the Empire or Hell, the vast majority of humans and goblins are actually experiencing their first reincarnation, and they have only this one chance at reincarnation, with only some souls favored by the Demon God, Saint Sis, or other Divine beings being able to reincarnate again.

Then there's the second possibility—

It's reincarnation.

Compared to newborn souls, the circumstances of reincarnation are more varied. Some souls fuse with the fetus while still in the womb, and others join with yet-to-mature newborn souls post-birth.

Luo Yan himself belonged to the latter.

Perhaps due to clandestine travel through subspace, he neither drank "Meng Po Soup" from Earth nor washed away his memory in the Rebirth Pool of this world, but directly integrated into a new body with memories of the past life.

It seems that Linte Isaac is also in such a situation.

And the soul in this dragon egg clearly belongs to the former—a reincarnated soul, fused with a fertilized egg yet to form a soul.

This guy isn't being a dragon for the first time!

But rather a reincarnated entity!

"But are there giant dragons on the Gana Continent?" Luo Yan pondered, looking at Youyou as he continued to ask, "Or is it a demon beast? Gutaf's journal seems to mention that giant dragons and demon beasts share a soul reincarnation pool."

Youyou, floating in the air, hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Although it's said like this, aren't the demon beasts on the Gana Continent very weak? If it's a low-level creature, it shouldn't be able to reincarnate into a fantasy species like a giant dragon."

At this point, Youyou also found it strange.

Thinking from this angle, it should be impossible for the dragon egg on the Gana Continent to harbor a soul.

Normally, only after this dragon egg hatches would it slowly amass the Power of Faith from the Armored Dragon Clan's belief in the Dragon God, completing the soul level elevation and ultimately becoming a mythological giant dragon...

With the scarce Extraordinary Power on the Gana Continent, it's also possible that its soul might never grow to match the body, ultimately becoming a flesh lizard with the title of a giant dragon.

Luo Yan slightly frowned, carefully observing the dragon egg suspected of nurturing a soul.

At that moment, a bizarre possibility suddenly flashed through his mind—

"It's not impossible."

Youyou quickly looked at him.
