Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 158 It’s getting cold, it’s time to put on more clothes
Even if Noah did not fall into a sleeping state, enter the nebula and observe the golden tree, but due to the mysterious relationship, Noah could feel that every time he killed a devil, it would add nutrients to the growth of the golden tree's fruit.

This is also the main reason why Noah is so active. Fighting against the abyss and suppressing hell is the greatest right thing for the material world, and the benefits that can be obtained from it are multifaceted.

Not only can it greatly promote the growth and development of the blood source fruit, it can also produce again the natural fruit that Noah had taken once. Not only that, there is also a kind of blue fruit that Noah has never seen before.

Killing a devil gives you three portions of nutrients. Noah is no longer active. Of course, it’s not just about killing devils, the same applies to killing demons.

To the world, there is no difference between the two categories, but the devil is more harmful, and the golden tree seems to receive more feedback.

However, no matter how good things are, it is not as good as having a good life. In the City of Hell, the golden dragon who led a group of young dragons and a legion of giants and shuttled through the streets and alleys of the City of Hell always wandered around the periphery of the battlefield and never set foot in the core area where legends were everywhere. That was not a place he should enter.

Keep your eyes and ears open, and when you see the situation is not good, use the teleportation array to escape. This is the most basic combat quality. Noah has already honed it in the south, and now he is just reviewing it.

"living comfortably without anybody's help!"

Although he could get a lot of rewards by hiding outside the City of Hell and commanding the giant army to join the battlefield and kill devils, the rewards from the golden tree were different.

If Noah kills the same devil himself, he can get a reward. But if the giants under his command kill it, the feedback from the golden tree will be only about half.

This is what Noah gradually concluded after long-term testing. The greater the distance between cause and effect, the weaker the feedback obtained, just like when he accidentally summoned the archangel Ophelia to the mortal world.

Although Ophelia killed many demons at that time, he and Ophelia did not establish a clear subordinate relationship, and they were not even friends at that time.

All we can say is that he participated in the incident. He was the instigator of the incident and had a certain influence, so the golden tree also gave some feedback, but the causal influence was very small, so small that Noah was too lazy to care about it. Not a single fruit was produced, only a small red flower bloomed.

Therefore, as long as he could ensure his own safety, Noah was still willing to join the battlefield. Not to mention that ordinary people could take advantage of the war to change their fate and become nobles.

Even as a noble ancestor dragon, he also had the opportunity to use the nourishment of war to go further, fight against demons in the south, and consume the devils at home. In the past five years, there have been five blood source fruits hanging on the branches of the golden tree, and they were all complete fruits.

This made Noah very greedy, but the situation was too serious. Noah had no time to doze off or eat the fruit, so he had to endure it until now.

However, after his adoptive father came back, judging from the current situation, it was only a matter of time before the gate of hell was blown up. The biggest and also final feast also began.

Perhaps after today, with the Gate of Hell destroyed, there will no longer be an endless stream of devil armies invading the border.

But there are still many demons scattered on this land, and the number of hell believers and fallen people related to them is countless.

These are all excellent targets that can be cleaned up and get positive feedback. Noah plans to go to Teddel for a few knight groups after he returns, and become a commander, which can also be regarded as doing his part for the world.

"Cassius! I know your name, and I remember the smell of your soul. I will curse you in hell.

One day, I will make your soul fall into hell. I will cut out your heart and eat your internal organs in front of you. Then I will extract your essence and let soul-eating insects crawl all over your soul, so that you can feel the ultimate pain!"

Just when Noah was enjoying himself by killing the weaklings, a roar filled with anger and extreme unwillingness was heard from the center of the Bronze City.

"Tsk, is this the final speech of the Lord of Hell? Why does it sound so stingy? No respect at all, he can't afford to lose at all!"

Noah casually crushed the bone demon that was struggling under the dragon's claws into a pool of bone residue.
"Oh, the gate of hell is cracked. No wonder he's so angry!"

Amid countless eyes filled with despair, or hope and joy, it towered over this land. The Gate of Hell, which had existed for nearly three years, had finally suffered an unprecedented blow.

Shocking cracks covered the door of sin made of bones. The howls of the wronged souls and the dead imprisoned in this door were no longer painful, but full of joy.

These hundreds of thousands of souls imprisoned in the Gate of Hell also gained freedom at this moment as the Gate of Hell gradually collapsed and shattered.

However, they also met their end. Their souls were infected and tainted by the evil spirit of hell. If left unchecked, they would turn into terrible evil spirits and bring greater harm to the surviving creatures.

However, experienced angels have already surrounded them. They sing sacred poems from heaven, and rays of holy light cleanse these filthy souls and purify them little by little until they turn into nothingness.

"Ugh!"

Noah sighed when he saw those souls smiling in the holy light and eventually turning into nothingness.

"We have achieved the final victory. Why are you sighing?"

Seeing Noah showing a bit of sadness, the archangel Ophelia, who had been guarding him since the golden dragon broke into the Bronze City, asked curiously.

"Do you know the legend about the reincarnation of the soul?"

"Reincarnation of the soul? You mean the reincarnation of the gods..."

The angel was startled and hesitated slightly.

"No, I don't mean the reincarnation of gods, I mean the souls of ordinary people."

Noah shook his head. The reincarnation of gods was nothing more than entering the material world and experiencing earthly life. Of course, there were some gods with great determination and courage who really dared to delete their accounts and start over, but they basically had many safeguards. Most of these gods who dared to reincarnate would return to the sky and turn into immortal stars, illuminating the world.

"How can an ordinary person's soul be reincarnated?"

Hearing Jin Long's words, the angel thought Noah was joking with her and couldn't help laughing.

"Why can't ordinary people's souls be reincarnated?"

"Because they are too fragile, after the death of ordinary creatures, even if they are not guided by any external evil forces, they will fall into the Styx.

If there is no protection from the gods, these souls will be washed away by the water of the Styx, turning into nothingness, losing all memories, and eventually breaking into pieces, flowing into the abyss and hell. "

The angel could see that Jin Long was serious, but she didn't understand why Jin Long would ask her such a question that lacked common sense.

"I heard that the soul of a holy warrior was not guided and was reincarnated in the abyss and turned into a demon."

Noah dug up another rumor in his inherited memory. Of course, for some gods, it could be considered a scandal.

"This is indeed the negligence of the gods. It is because the holy warrior only believed in the Holy Light, but did not believe in any specific gods, so he eventually fell into the abyss... What do you want to say?"

The angel felt that there was something very wrong with the golden dragon in front of him, especially after seeing hundreds of thousands of souls being purified. "I wonder why there is no power in the world that can embrace all mortals, protect the souls of all mortals from being harmed, and even give them a chance to reincarnate."

"How could there be such power? The only one who meets your requirements is the Styx, but even the oldest god of death in the legend cannot do what you say."

"If we can control the Styx and change its rules..."

"Has your head been wounded by the devil? Let me see."

The angel stretched out his hand towards the golden dragon's head, but was slapped away by the golden dragon in angrily.

"I'm just proposing a hypothesis. If you find it unbelievable, you can think of it as a joke."

"Don't let your imagination run wild, Noah. I know you have compassion, but for some things, it's better for you to wait until you have the corresponding power before you make assumptions."

"How can I have any compassion? I am a cruel dragon who can watch millions of people fall into famine without any reaction!"

Noah sneered, remembering some of his experiences in the South.

"But your Book of Noah has been updated to the fifth edition."

“Because someone needs it.”

Rumbling--

The Gate of Hell was completely shattered, and as the portal that ran through the two worlds collapsed, a visible energy wave shot up into the sky, dispersing the dark clouds that covered the sky.

However, when the portal was broken, the cross-border passage collapsed, and the space healed, a voice full of resentment came from the other side of time and space, which made those who heard it shudder.

"Cassius! I will definitely drag you into hell!"

As this voice was heard, the hell disaster in the eastern part of the continent came to an end, and the turbulent era seemed to be coming to an end. It seemed that it would not take long for this land to return to its previous peace and stability.

Although this is something that makes countless people happy and excited, what cannot be ignored is that there are still two portals standing in the central and southern parts of the continent, continuously transporting monsters from the abyss and hell, invading and trampling on the creatures of this land, plundering endless resources and souls.

Although the disaster has not ended and the turbulent times are still continuing, some noisy voices have appeared in the Eastern Territory, where people feel that the dark clouds above their heads have disappeared.

Rebuild the Kingdom!

The United Kingdom of Erestoria has become a thing of the past. When the devil built the Gate of Hell to invade the material world on the former capital, the country was declared to have disintegrated and perished.

Although the kingdom's former strongest wizard was not seen to fall, nor was his body found, but only the foundation of the wizard tower was found, which was enough to show that the old wizard would not have a good end.

Of course, no one cared about the life or death of the old wizard. It’s just that the old wizard represented the kingdom’s former orthodoxy, but now the orthodoxy is gone. There is not a single legend left in the former royal family. It would be a joke for the remaining branches to still want to be king.

Since the king is not worthy of the throne, then naturally there should be a new king. Who should be the new king?

Augustus!

This is the only option. No one has any doubts and no one will raise any objections. This is what everyone wants and what everyone desires.

This man who destroyed the Gate of Hell almost single-handedly is the most qualified to be the king who rules the East, to lead all legends, to establish a United Nations that surpasses the original one, and to create a true kingdom.

However, to the regret of many legends, the man who was so powerful that even near-saints had to look up to him, refused without hesitation.

"I am not fit to be a king!"

This was Cassius’ response. Faced with the crowns offered by many legends, he refused them without even a moment’s glance.

No one can force Cassius, not even gods. Faced with such an existence, the only thing others can do is beg, and when praying is useless, they can only change their target.

There are examples where the strongest person is unwilling to become the king who rules over all living beings, but it doesn’t matter. If his descendants are willing, it will be the same. There is no difference.

Moreover, this man's biological power is not weak. Not only does he possess great power, his achievements are also obvious to all. It's just that his appearance looks a little too miserable.

However, as a king, he can convince the people.

"Noah, I really can't stand it anymore!"

A man with gray hair on his temples, who looked completely middle-aged or elderly, came to Jinlong and complained bitterly about what he had been going through recently.

A steady stream of lobbyists came to his door to persuade him to accept the crown that his father had refused. No one dared to force his father, and of course no one would force him. They just appealed to his emotions and reason.

Even if Teddel wanted to refuse and avoid it, he couldn't do it, because many of the people who came to persuade him not only had extraordinary status, but also had comradeship with him. Just for this reason, Teddel's personality made it impossible for him to refuse.

"If you can't resist it, why not accept it?"

Noah listened to the man in front of him complaining and asked back with a smile. He really liked to see such a situation.

"You also think I should be the new king?"

Taidel couldn't help but ask back.

"Are you cold?"

"Cold? Of course not..."

"Winter is coming soon and the weather is getting colder. I made you a piece of clothing. Come on, put it on!"

Jinlong pulled out a golden silk cloak and covered the man with it.

　Stop mocking me, please forgive me. I promise to be on time tomorrow. If not, the author will definitely find a beautiful partner with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs before the end of the year.
