Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 357: Enemy of the Gods, Hunting the Holy Dragon
"Petitor?"

Noah looked at the first dragon soul being drawn to Valhalla with mixed feelings. He had only used the Emperor's Word Spirit to mobilize the power of faith and such a subtle change had occurred.

What will happen if the devout soul of an intelligent creature is combined with the power of faith?
Perhaps it is difficult for many extraordinary people to understand information related to gods, but for the dragon clan, this is common sense.

Infused with the power of faith that only gods can wield, even the soul of a devout believer who has lived a lifetime as a mortal will be qualified to participate in the war of gods.

But now Noah possesses two elements at the same time: the ability to control and use the power of faith freely, and the ability to attract the souls of devout believers.

When the two are combined, it means that Noah has an army that can participate in the war between gods, and it is also an undead army that can be resurrected continuously with the support of sufficient power of faith.

Of course, Noah cannot be sure now whether the souls drawn from Valhalla have the ability to be resurrected after being destroyed.

But what is certain is that this type of soul can accept the power of faith infused by him with the Word Spirit·Emperor and obtain a brand new body. It is no longer as simple as a complete transformation. Noah can use the power of faith to shape their bodies as he pleases and enhance the power they possess, as long as the power of faith is sufficient.

However, compared with those immortal gods, Noah's current foundation is still too shallow. Not to mention that Valhalla only has the function of accommodating souls, but does not have other functions of the kingdom of God.

Even if we only talk about the number of souls, Noah still needs a very long time to accumulate them. Compared with those old gods who have survived for tens of thousands of years and harvested and grazed the souls of believers in dozens of planes, Noah is not even qualified to be compared with them, let alone a fraction of them.

However, this is only the present, the beginning of everything. Noah has taken the extremely important first and second steps. He has been gradually invading the realms that belong exclusively to the gods, and holding the authority of God with the body of a mortal being.

The future is bright and the prospects are broad. With a vision of glory after awakening, Noah devoted part of his attention to interfering with Valhalla and accepting more dragon souls.

"what should I do?"

As the first lucky person to be accepted into Valhalla, Damian was a little confused.

With the grace of the Holy Dragon, he got rid of his old face and condition. At this moment, he felt extremely good. Even without a mirror, he knew that his appearance must have returned to the best state of his age.

He is no longer afraid of death, nor does he need to worry about the various necessities of life like a mortal. He will not be hungry, sick, or sleepy. He does not need to worry about anything. But the question now is, what should he do now?
Construction
At this time, a thought came from the setting sun, and Damian, who had originally felt confused, suddenly found his direction, because the holy dragon that favored him finally gave him an order.

"Really... After waking up, I will study how to connect the Hall of Heroes with the Dragon Realm."

Seeing the dragon praying men busy in Valhalla, Noah immediately decided the first thing he needed to do after waking up.

Because unlike most gods' kingdoms that have everything, such as the sun, the moon, the mountains and the rivers, the Hall of Heroes he opened up has nothing. Apart from the sun that symbolizes his own will, there are only surging golden lights and purple air.

Fortunately, these golden lights and purple air can be captured and shaped into any desired shape, which means that the dragons who are gradually being led by Noah have something to do.

Otherwise, if an immortal, ageless, hungry, disease-free creature is left doing nothing in the vast empty space, it would drive people crazy, and even the most devout faith would not be able to withstand such a test.

Of course, petitioners who enter the orthodox kingdom of gods still have many things to do. The first and most important thing is to participate in the faith prayer ceremony, pray to the gods every day, praise the gods' great achievements, and continue to provide the gods with the power of faith.

The second is to assist the gods in handling affairs, or to take care of certain specialties in the kingdom of gods, such as gardens, forging workshops, etc.

Finally, when your own god launches a war of gods, you will participate as cannon fodder. Although you will not die before your own god falls, you can experience the feeling of constant death and resurrection.

Of course, not all petitioners live such a miserable life. In a kind or joyful kingdom of gods, petitioners can also live a very good life.

You can participate in celebrations, salons and dance parties led by gods every day, and enjoy the life that ordinary people want most. Every day is filled with joy and enjoyment.

However, this is not without cost, because the combat effectiveness of gods who regard pleasure and enjoyment as their divine duties is generally worrying. If there is no powerful main god to protect them, then once a large-scale war between gods occurs, these gods are often the first to fall.

Noah had no way of allowing these dragon people who believed in him to enter Valhalla and have parties every day. Not to mention that he didn't have the ability, even if he could, he wouldn't let them. He was a golden dragon, and it would be ridiculous and outrageous.

Although he could not give these dragon people the pleasure of decadence, he also did not need these dragon believers to chant his name every day and show their piety and loyalty to him.

But this wouldn't work, and neither would that. Noah could only arrange for the dragon souls to be reduced to ashes, allowing them to create from nothing their own homes in Valhalla with their own hands, making the name of Valhalla worthy of its name.

However, this is only a temporary measure. After Noah wakes up, he plans to study how to connect Valhalla to the real world. If it is feasible, Noah dare not imagine how great an impact he will bring to the plane he is in.

Even if the gods living outside the world can send petitioners into the material world, their number is limited. These spirits with divine power attached to them will be greatly weakened during the entry process, and even if they succeed in entering, they will not be able to move for a long time.

Therefore, the gods will never send the army of petitioners into the material world, because the cost outweighs the gain. Instead of wasting divine power, it is better to attack directly from a distance.

But Noah does not have such a problem. He is in the material world. Once he finds a way to open Valhalla in the material world, it means that a true undead army has come to the world.

Noah really couldn't imagine what force in this world could fight against such a legion, which must be invincible and unstoppable.

After this thought came to mind, Noah's mind became more active and his mood became more cheerful, especially after more dragon souls were gradually brought in.

However, even though these dragon men entered Valhalla and received extremely generous baptisms of the power of faith and rewards of condensing their bodies, their final fate was no different from that of the first dragon man. They still had to carry bricks and rubble. No, before they could carry bricks, they had to make a batch of bricks themselves.

"Not bad, that's clever!"

Noah was quite pleased when he found that the first dragon who entered Valhalla began to take the initiative to teach the later ones what to do.

This meant that Valhalla was gradually getting on track, and he didn't need to worry about making arrangements. He could just let Valhalla naturally emit its pulling force and guide the souls of the dead dragons into it. "Let me see if there are any fruits left!"

Noah's dormant transformation is still continuing, and the influence he brings is quietly changing everything, and the scope of influence is gradually expanding with the passage of time.

It's not just the dragon realm constructed by the breath of life emanating from Noah, but also the impact caused by the opening of Valhalla.

Although only the dragons who are about to reach the end of their life and have a devout heart towards Noah can sense the existence of Valhalla, during this period of time, they are able to tell the people around them what they have seen and felt.

If there are only one or two people, what they describe at the moment of death will most likely be regarded by their family and descendants as nonsense, fantasies and imaginations they saw before they died.

However, when more and more dragon people described the same content before their death, even the most determined dragon people would have their beliefs shaken.

That's a holy dragon. For such a being, what is impossible in this world? Even if he is not deified, can't he protect his loyal people?
So, in the tenth year of Noah's sleep, the legend of the eternal golden city spread throughout the area ruled by Noah and spread to more and more places.

In the descriptions of many bards, the eternal Golden City is a place of spiritual peace built by the great holy dragon Noah for the dragon people whose souls have no place to return to after death.

Legend has it that when a lost dragon soul steps into it, it will gain eternal peace. The soul will no longer have to worry about dissipating, nor will it be disturbed by anything. It will be protected by the power of the Holy Dragon Noah and enjoy eternity together.

Exquisite porcelain was smashed against the wall, and boiling hot tea mixed with brewed green tea leaves splashed onto the precious carpet. Then came the voice of anger that could no longer be suppressed.
"This group of ignorant fools, how can a flying snake that still stays in the material world open up an immortal kingdom of God?"

Putting down the picture book in his hand which was filled with praises of the wisdom and greatness of the Holy Dragon, the high priest Rogerster who worshipped the sun god Hero was furious.

"What do they think the gods are? What do they think that golden worm is? This is blasphemy, this is contempt for the majesty of the gods!"

"If it was any other dragon, it would be fine, but Saint Dragon Noah, maybe he can really do something like this."

The Cardinal from the Glorious Church pondered for a moment and replied slowly, but there was no joking tone in his voice.

"Are you kidding me? If he doesn't become a god, how can he establish a kingdom of God?"

"It's not about opening up a kingdom of God, it's just about opening up a demiplane that can accommodate the souls of believers. I think this shouldn't be difficult for him."

"It's indeed not difficult, but doesn't this mean that he is already a false god?"

"Hasn't he already been a false god? He can steal the glory of our Lord, imitate our Lord's coming, and bestow so-called miracles and divine grace upon those ignorant and foolish mixed-race bastards."

"We can't continue to tolerate this."

"Indeed, the dragon race does not need a sun dragon god."

The two high-ranking officials from different Orthodox churches quickly reached a consensus after only meeting for less than a quarter of an hour. They both represented a certain will of the religious organizations behind them.

"My suggestion is to notify that team and invite them to come and clean up this dragon."

"I have no objection. In fact, I have long felt that we should have informed that group of people. It is a little late now. His wings have already grown strong. If there is a little noise, a bunch of ancient dragons will gather around his palace."

"It's a little late, but not too late. Isn't he sleeping? This is when the dragon race is at its most vulnerable. As long as we find an opportunity, we can kill him with one strike. After that, we can quickly escape and prevent the group of ancient dragons from reacting."

"But that is an ancestral dragon. If the assassination is successful and it dies, the old dragons will probably be furious."

"Even if they are furious, what can they dare to do? When those people attack, they won't leave any traces. Without any evidence, the Dragon Clan wants to accuse us of attacking? Ha!"

"But it's too obvious!"

"So what? Shouldn't the old dragons really blame the dragon who dared to call himself a saint before he even reached adulthood? Moreover, he dared to invade the two great priesthoods of the sun and light at the same time."

"It's useless to say this. You know the significance of the ancestral dragons to the dragon race. Once the holy dragon Noah dies, I'm afraid not only the ancient dragons will be furious, I'm afraid even the Dragon God will pay attention."

"So the best outcome should be to injure him but not kill him. We should find a way to severely injure him and put him into a long sleep."

"Just a serious injury?"

"If there is a first time, there will be a second time. Just let him sleep."

The whispers between the two were not the only ones. Through the reaction of the dragon man, it was indirectly inferred that the many churches that existed in Valhalla had many different reactions to this.

The only thing in common is that the reactions of the vast majority of churches are not friendly, especially those churches that believe that their own divine priesthood has been invaded.

Invading the priesthood is an mortal enemy to the gods.

Judging from the attitude and form that Noah currently displayed, many churches speculated that this ancestral golden dragon might want to try to be promoted to become a dragon god, and unlike other low-key dragon gods, he went straight for those powerful and dazzling main priesthoods.

[Sun] [Glory] [Order] [Justice] and so on are all possibilities. If there were no such ideas, why would this ancestral golden dragon spend hundreds of years creating an extremely unreasonable ideal place for its existence, and be so fond of the title of Golden Sun.
