Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 253 Urnos's Request

"Think about it for yourself!"

Wayne obviously couldn't immediately accept Noah's suggestion to change the name, even though he already had some guesses based on Noah's clear reminder.

In fact, although Noah felt that Wayne was abandoned by his father at birth and his life seemed a bit miserable, he was also extremely lucky at the same time.

Compared with those truly abandoned orphans among the mortal world, Wayne is simply the chosen one, the one favored by fate, and the trendsetters of the times.

Urnos did abandon Wayne back then, believing that the birth of the Tiefling was an insult to the Augustus family, but although he abandoned Wayne, he did not abandon him completely.

He paid a large amount of child support to the tieflings who adopted Wayne, making them rich overnight. To this day, these tieflings are also very famous local tycoons.

That would have been fine, but the key point was that Wayne, who carried the aura of hell, attracted the attention of a certain lord of hell, and thus received an honor that no one in the Augustus family had ever received.

This is the most crucial thing, allowing Wayne to step by step to where he is today and have the capital to compete for the King of the Undead.

To be fair, apart from the absence of his parents during his early childhood, which did not provide him with enough emotional care, Wayne has almost perfect qualities in all other aspects.

What is this kid dissatisfied with? Where does all this negativity come from? If we compare who is more miserable, there are many orphans in the world who are more pitiful than him.

But if we compare his background, starting point, opportunities, etc., you may not be able to find anyone in the world who can be compared with him.

To put it bluntly, Noah felt that Wayne had never suffered a real beating, and that he was even living too well and too smoothly.

"I need some time!"

"Whether you admit it or not, some things cannot be denied or erased."

Noah gave one last reminder and ended his conversation with Wayne. He had already understood the situation at the cemetery and was confident about the situation ahead.

Just as Noah had expected, the assassination led by the elves shocked the continent of Zealandia. It was mainly this assassination that eventually evolved into a shocking war that shook the continent.

The aftermath of the battle alone swept across the vast ice field, and the disturbance caused to the elements could be vaguely felt even in the southernmost port city on the continent.

However, these are all harmless details. What is really important is that the main participants in this shocking war and its final outcome truly shook the hearts of people on all sides of the continent and will at least affect the situation on the continent for the next few hundred years.

Too many unexpected changes happened in what was supposed to be an assassination. Just as no one could have expected that Parvati, the natural demigod chosen by the seven gods and with high hopes, would actually be reduced to an auxiliary in clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers in this battle.

No one expected that the one who finally dealt a heavy blow to the Immortal King and cut off his head was the Holy Dragon from the East. According to records, this dragon was only over a hundred years old, yet its strength was already so strong.

How powerful would such a dragon be once it had lived for a thousand years? Would the material world still be able to support such a powerful creature?
This is what many forces that were able to observe the battle and obtain the outcome of the battle wanted to know most after the Battle of the Great Cemetery ended.

The source of the natural disaster in the north, the Immortal King, has fallen, but a new holy dragon has risen in the east. The impact it has brought to the situation in all parties on the continent is definitely not inferior to the Undead Scourge.

As for the specific impact, it is difficult to predict and judge, and only time can give the answer.

However, the most direct impact of this operation, which evolved from an assassination into a shocking war, was that the undead, who had been heading south and continuously invading Middle-earth, began to withdraw.

The Undead began to gradually abandon the land they had previously conquered, and the elves' counterattack officially began. The elven army, which was reorganized under the leadership of Parvati herself, began to strike hard at the fallen dogs, pursued the victory, and achieved one glorious victory after another that had never been seen since the beginning of the war.

Of course, the great victory here does not refer to how many undead armies the elves annihilated, but that they reoccupied the land polluted by the undead and cleared out the remaining low-level undead.

Parvati was not carried away by the easy victory. She followed the retreating Undead Army and advanced steadily and orderly.

Because the Undead Army was only shrinking its forces, it was a stable and orderly withdrawal, not an escape. And precisely because of the shrinking of its forces, the Undead gave up a large number of unintelligent and low-level Undead and chose to streamline the battle sequence. Therefore, the average strength of the retreating Undead Army was stronger than those encountered before on the battlefield.

Parvati can see this clearly, but the aristocratic faction, which has already been at a disadvantage in the internal struggle, cannot see it. Facing Parvati, who has successfully returned from assassinating the Immortal King, the aristocratic faction needs enough reputation to fight back.

As a result, the elven noble army that was chasing the undead army was unsurprisingly hit hard, and once again sent a large number of high-quality souls and corpses to the kingdom of the dead.

These pursuit battles with extremely embarrassing results also made many forces realize that the current Kingdom of the Undead has indeed suffered heavy losses, but has not been defeated. The Undead are not weaklings that anyone can step on, and they are still the unshakable overlord of the North.

Having said that, the shrinking power of the Kingdom of the Dead is inevitable. In the battle where the Immortal King was beheaded, too many legendary undead fell, and they do not have enough high-level combat power to guard the four directions.

Especially the land of the living that had originally surrendered to the kingdom of the dead, after hearing that the Immortal King was beheaded by the Holy Dragon, they all rose up in rebellion and no longer submitted to the rule of the dead. After all, if given a choice, who would be willing to be governed by a group of corpses?

All of a sudden, the kingdom of the dead was surrounded by enemies. There were too many forces, big and small, who wanted to take advantage of the decline of the undead forces.

However, after the Undead Army fought more than a dozen beautiful annihilation battles, fewer people dared to do so. They chose to wait slowly for the Undead to retreat and then eat the leftovers left behind by the Undead.

So far, the only kingdom that can truly hunt down and kill the undead is the Atlas Kingdom.

But what is very strange is that although it was an opportunity to better deal with the undead and seize land and resources from them, the Kingdom of Atlas not only did not advance again, but instead began to retreat like the undead and no longer engaged in battle with them.

Many forces were confused as to what was going on, especially the elves. They couldn't understand why the King of Atlas, who had a strong desire for aggression, would let go of such a great opportunity. It was simply unreasonable.

"That's easy, because the guy's son is right across the street!"

After the battle to behead the Immortal King, if Selina, who participated in the whole process, had not discovered Wayne, the spy sent by Noah, then this legendary wizard was too incompetent. If Selina knew it, it naturally meant that Urnos knew it.

Since his death, this monarch has obtained important information about the undead from Noah many times. If he still can't guess that the person who passed on the information is his own son, then he would have no need to be king.

Therefore, it was very normal and reasonable that Urnos did not choose to beat the man when he was down. He still wanted to save and repair the father-son relationship between himself and this outstanding heir.

Now knowing that his son is about to take over the opposite side, although Urnos has mixed feelings, he still chooses to support him, but he also did not forget to find trouble with the culprit.

"Uncle Noah, don't you think you should give me an explanation for this matter?"

This time, Urnos did not use the communication array to question Noah, but returned from the front line and came to Noah's Ten Thousand Dragon Palace in person. "What do you want to explain?"

"Why did Wayne become the Demon King?"

Urnos spoke word by word.

Knowing that his son could be promoted all the way to become the leader of the enemy force even if he was lurking or working as an undercover agent was certainly a very gratifying thing, but the problem was, this was the power of the undead!
Now that his son has become the leader of a hostile force, should he fight him or not?
"He chose this himself. Besides, you don't have to worry. He will no longer be the Demon King soon."

"Oh, he's coming back?"

Urnos's expression moved, and his face, which was as cold as a knife, softened a little, and he was about to smile, but when he heard the next sentence Noah threw out, his face tensed again.

"No, Wayne is preparing to become the second generation King of the Undead!"

"He is a living being, the bloodline inheritor of the Augustus family!"

The King of Atlas spoke each word with emphasis, and thunder began to roar between his mouth and nose.

"So what? This doesn't stop him from becoming the King of the Undead."

Noah didn't care.

"Wayne becomes the king of the undead, so who will inherit my throne?"

Urnos didn't care who would take over the position of the Immortal King, but he cared very much whether that person was his son or the one he valued the most.

"Not to mention that it will take you hundreds of years to abdicate, you don't just have Wayne as your son, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Only Wayne is the most suitable successor. Alexander, he is not suitable!"

Urnos looked at the giant dragon in front of him. The reason why he came here in person this time was to see how powerful this dragon was. This was the dragon that had cut off the head of the Immortal King.

Although the relationship between this dragon and the Augustus family is still close, he will not doubt the relationship between this dragon and the Augustus family, but the problem is that the other party's intention to interfere with the third generation of kings has been obvious.

This was something he could neither accept nor tolerate. He was the King of Atlas, and only he could dominate the future of his family and kingdom. Therefore, he had to know how powerful the dragon was that wanted to distort his will.

"If you say no, then it's no. You are the King of Atlas now, you have the final say."

Noah's reaction to the King of Atlas who was declaring his sovereignty below was very calm. After all, he was the child he had taken care of and raised, so he could be more tolerant of him.

"Will you respect my decision?"

"Of course, I always respect reality."

Urnos was silent, because the reality now was that the son he favored did not want to pay attention to him and was unwilling to call him father, let alone inherit the throne.

The most annoying thing is that this offspring is extremely close to the dragon in front of him. He obeys his orders to the point of being willing to do something as risky as being a spy.

"I want to know whether becoming the King of the Undead is Wayne's own wish or your arrangement."

"It's his own will now!"

Standing at the pinnacle of power in a country, such a temptation is very hard to resist for any male creature, not to mention that Wayne is just a legend who is less than 50 years old. It is nonsense to expect a young man of this age to take power lightly.

Wayne just hated the position of inheriting Urnos, not the throne, especially since it was a position he had worked so hard to obtain. Who would give it up so easily? If he gave up, what would all his previous efforts mean?
"Did you mean it, or did you influence it?"

There was a little more respect in Urnos's words, but the thunder lingering around him began to grow denser.

"It was just a joke at first, but I didn't expect him to be so determined and actually do it."

Noah turned a blind eye to the changes in his nephew below. After fighting with a monster like the Immortal King, even a legend with special bloodline was not in Noah's eyes.

"Uncle Noah, I heard from my grandmother that you have made great progress in your sleep this time. Only a near-saint can fight with you."

"It's not that exaggerated actually. According to the existing supernatural system, I am only the first level of legend, but my combat power is a little higher."

The so-called near-saint is an honorific title given to extraordinary people above the seventh level of legend. The "saint" here refers to the saint form of a deity.

That is the absolute pinnacle of the material world. If it is a little stronger, the gods will be excluded from this world. It is the strongest posture of the secular world and an opponent that no ordinary creature can possibly defeat in a one-on-one fight.

"In that case, I have something I would like to ask my uncle for help."

"whats the matter?"

"I am now at the fifth level of Legend, but in the past ten years, I have not been able to make any further progress. I have felt the shackles of my incomplete bloodline. I can also understand why my grandfather went out so frequently. Because of this, I need a successor."

Urnos' tone seemed very peaceful at this moment.

"I can't help you with this. Besides, you are the one who created this situation."

Noah understood that although Urnos was born extraordinary, it was obvious that the Titan bloodline he was born with had only completed an awakening, and it could only support him to this point.

Of course, it is good for ordinary people, but it is far from enough for Urnos who wants to follow in his grandfather's footsteps.

"No, I want to ask my uncle to fight with me. I have communicated with a near-saint before, but we were evenly matched and he did not cause me much pressure. I think you may be different."
