Chapter 0002: Father of Titans, Mother of Golden Dragons
There is no precedent for Titan infants to gnaw on eggshells after birth; Titans are viviparous, which is entirely different from the oviparous nature of dragons. Upon birth, they directly consume meat, not gnawing on any eggshells.

A vast amount of knowledge surged into Ye Tianrui's mind, causing his head to throb painfully, and his small face twisted in discomfort, but this pain lasted only a brief moment before dissipating
Dad, I am hungry
Ye Tianrui, whose spirit had already been tormented by the inherited knowledge, felt an intense hunger. This sudden onset of hunger nearly drove Ye Tianrui to madness
As Ye Tianrui uttered his true name, two torrents of vast and profound knowledge surged into his mind, representing the knowledge inheritance of the two top-tier races of the worlds: the Dragons and the Titans
Watching this scene, the expression on the face of the Golden Dragon Lady became increasingly gentle, her joy unabashed. In contrast, the Titan with black hair and golden eyes had a different expression; his face was tense, his brows furrowed, forming the character "川" with his features, and his complexion was not very pleasant.
My father, how much do you think I can eat? Don't you have any idea? Are you trying to make me burst by piling up this mountain of meat? Ye Tianrui muttered to himself while lying on the mountain of meat, eating.
Ye Tianrui's golden eyes, which seemed to emit a green light, scanned the surroundings. He was currently in a room that could be described as vast, where everything sparkled with a crystalline brilliance, as if the building he was in was constructed from various types of crystals. He was situated in the central depression of a purple-black crystal platform located in the middle of the room
Ye Tianrui supported himself on the crystal platform with both hands, and then, with his legs exerting force, the reinforced bones from his first meal were already sufficient to bear his weight. Thus, under the watchful eyes of the Titan and the Golden Dragon, the little creature with wings trembled as it stood up, its hands touching its flat little belly, and it emitted the sound of its arrival in the world for the second time
After understanding the relationship between the Titan and the Golden Dragon standing before him, Ye Tianrui's thoughts became somewhat chaotic. He finally realized what he was: a Titan and the son of a dragon, a super hybrid being
Ye Tianrui sat dazed on the purple-black stone platform, his gaze blankly fixed on the meat mountain before him, which was still emitting heat. He glanced up at his father, the Titan, whose face was filled with anticipation. His little face twitched for a moment, then he bit his teeth and stood up again, walking towards the meat mountain.
In the days that followed, Ye Tianrui lived the life he had longed for in his previous life, eating well and sleeping well, sleeping well and eating well, and after eating well, continuing to sleep
The enticing aroma wafted down from above, the scent of food. Ye Tianrui hesitated for only a moment before extending his chubby little hand, picking up a piece of eggshell coated with egg liquid, and popping it into his mouth
With a crisp crack, the eggshell shattered, producing a clear sound. Ye Tianrui's eyes brightened; contrary to expectations, there was no sensation of biting into something hard. The texture of the eggshell was metallic, crumbling under Ye Tianrui's teeth like the potato chips of his previous life, and it carried just the right amount of sweetness, devoid of any fishy taste.
Uncontrollably, Ye Tianrui opened his mouth and uttered a particularly convoluted phrase
This mountain of meat was obtained by shamelessly putting on a cute act, and even with tears in his eyes, he must finish it. Ye Tianrui, filled with grief and indignation, saw his Titan father looking unhappy and deliberately tried to act cute using the Titan language he had just learned from the heritage of the Titan clan, hoping to get some food. Little did he expect this outcome
Whether it is the Titan or the Dragon, as beings at the pinnacle of the food chain, they possess a terrifying digestive ability that is truly astonishing. Naturally, Ye Tianrui, who carries the bloodlines of both clans, possesses an even more formidable digestive capability.
Do not mention eggshells; in a state of extreme hunger, a person can eat anything, including grass roots, tree bark, and even the soil of Guanyin, or resort to cannibalism. Therefore, what are mere eggshells worth? Although Ye Tianrui is no longer human, he is still a humanoid creature
Originally frowning and with a gloomy expression, Titan's face instantly brightened upon hearing the shout. He extended his right hand, and a piece of roasted meat, roughly the size of his palm, appeared in his grasp, which he gently placed beside his son
Then, Ye Tianrui was slightly taken aback, and without needing anyone to explain, he naturally understood what he had said: "This is my true name"
My father is a Titan, and my mother is surprisingly a dragon. Goodness, this is a forbidden love across species, and I am the fruit of their love. This situation is a bit complicated
The physical strength is rapidly recovering. Once the feeling of weakness dissipates, Ye Tianrui can clearly perceive that, as he continues to eat, his body is growing slowly yet steadily, and his strength is gradually increasing
"This is Titan, my father." Ye Tianrui looked at the black-haired, golden-eyed "man" standing before him, gazing down at him. The knowledge he had just received through the inheritance quickly made Ye Tianrui understand the identity of the golden giant beast and the towering figure that was no less imposing than the beast itself.
Ye Tianrui stood trembling, shouting at his father in a childish Titan language.
Many thoughts crossed Ye Tianrui's mind, yet in reality, only a moment had passed. There was no allowance for Ye Tianrui to think too much, as his body, which had nearly exhausted all its strength during the hatching process, began to signal to his brain the need to replenish energy.
Otherwise, whether it is a Titan infant or a dragon hatchling, if they were to receive all the knowledge and heritage of their species at once upon birth, the only outcome would be their brains bursting from the overload. No matter how powerful a creature may be, it is very fragile at the moment of its birth
The Golden Dragon Mother looked at her son with gentle eyes as he began his first meal after hatching. Watching Ye Tianrui eat, the soft golden dragon wings on his back slowly began to stretch and open. The originally soft, pale golden translucent dragon scales deepened in color and gradually became harder as Ye Tianrui continued to eat
The expressions on his parents' faces were completely different, but Ye Tianhe did not notice at all; his attention was entirely focused on the eggshell.
Maintaining such a terrifying amount of food intake three times a day, the result is the rapid growth of Ye Tianrui's physique, which can be said to change dramatically every day, continuously increasing as if there were no end in sight
The sides of the forehead are swelling, as if something is extending. The wings are gradually spreading, and the tail is swinging more powerfully. A strong force acts upon the air, producing a faint "whoosh" sound, striking against the purple-black crystal platform, resulting in a dull "thud" sound.
The preliminary inheritance of the Dragon and the Titan has finally come to an end. Ye Tianrui let out a sigh of relief, feeling a lingering fear. He had no doubt that if he continued to receive the inherited knowledge, his mind would be overwhelmed, and even if he did not die, he would become an idiot
"I must say, this meat is truly fragrant and delicious," Ye Tianrui exclaimed sincerely after taking a few bites
After stuffing the last piece of eggshell into his mouth, Ye Tianrui was astonished to find that the hunger in his stomach had not yet disappeared, although it had lessened significantly. It is worth noting that the number of eggshells he had swallowed was enough to completely envelop him.
Fortunately, the knowledge inheritance of Titans and Dragons is segmented, rather than being crammed in all at once. Instead, it is gradually unlocked step by step as one grows older and becomes stronger.
Looking around, everywhere was filled with sparkling crystals, exuding an air of extravagant opulence. If it were not for the maddening hunger he was experiencing, Ye Tianrui would certainly take the time to appreciate the beauty. But now, all Ye Tianrui could see was food, leaving no room for anything else.
He flared his nostrils, inhaling the scent that made him secrete more gastric acid. Finally, Ye Tianrui's gaze settled on the golden eggshells beneath him, each still bearing translucent egg white.
These days of decay and depravity greatly satisfied Ye Tianrui, and the only thing that surprised him somewhat was his somewhat monstrous appetite, as each meal he consumed was equivalent to five to seven times his own body volume
Those powerful beings who leave a legacy of knowledge for their descendants do so to make their offspring stronger and to enable them to live better lives, rather than using vast amounts of knowledge to commit murder
"Food, food, where is the food?" Ye Tianrui muttered in the dragon language he did not know when he had learned, and then he caught a whiff of an enticing aroma
In Ye Tianrui's eyes, a mountain of meat appeared in his father's hands, and then this mountain of meat was thrown beside him by his Titan father. The enormous mountain of meat fell, generating a powerful shockwave and a tremendous sense of vibration, directly toppling him over.
The terrifying appetite initially made Ye Tianrui somewhat uneasy. However, under the calm gaze of Jin Longniang, who often enjoyed watching him eat, Ye Tianrui speculated that such a terrifying appetite should be quite normal for dragons or titans.
A few hours later, "Burp!" Ye Tianrui let out a loud belch, lying back in the gap he had created in the mountain of meat, his belly already forming a very noticeable arc.
Subsequently, Ye Tianrui knelt in the depression of the purple-black crystal platform, using both hands to pick up pieces of eggshell and put them into his mouth, "Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!" The sound of the eggshell being chewed echoed continuously in this spacious room
If it were not for the fact that his own son truly possesses half dragon blood, and that after gnawing on the eggshell, his body has indeed shown positive changes, he would not be able to endure the scene before him.
"Golden Dragon, my mother." Ye Tianrui's gaze shifted towards the golden giant dragon that looked at him with great enthusiasm, as if a tangible golden dragon's might enveloped this resplendent hall, emanating a terrifying pressure. However, this powerful pressure did not make Ye Tianrui feel the slightest bit of oppression; instead, he felt a sense of intimacy stemming from his bloodline.
He disregarded his parents who had been watching him eat meat for several hours, closed his eyes, and began to fall into a deep sleep. He had reached his limit and simply could not eat any more, and his body demanded that he enter a necessary slumber, for he had only just been born.
Ye Tianrui could feel that after he chewed and swallowed the eggshell, it was immediately digested, breaking down into the nutrients required by his body, with hardly a trace of impurities, and the effects were apparent almost instantly
