Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 363: Wake up, hiccup~

Hiccup~
When Noah opened his eyes, he felt a sense of fullness sweeping over him, which made him burp unconsciously. But even so, the feeling of being full did not ease much.

"Um?!"

Except when he was a chick, Noah hadn't felt the feeling of being overfed for a long time.

On the one hand, the digestive ability of a dragon gradually increases with age and strength. On the other hand, as his strength increases, Noah no longer needs to eat, and he no longer needs to consume substances to maintain physical activity.

But it's just that he doesn't need to eat it, not that he can't eat it. If Noah comes across delicious food, he doesn't mind tasting it. If he encounters some treasures that are extremely beneficial to his growth, he will swallow them.

But even if he swallowed a heirloom-level gem, it would be impossible for Noah to feel full now, let alone overeating. How many gems would he have to swallow?

Normally, after a dragon awakens from a long sleep, the first thing it needs to do is hunt and prey to replenish the horrific consumption caused by the transformation of its body during sleep.

Noah once experienced a hunger that could destroy a dragon's sanity. That time, he went crazy to the point of gnawing on golems to replenish his energy, triggering a warning from the Mage City. It was not until his foster mother arrived and brought him a large amount of food supplements that his hunger was relieved and he regained his composure.

Since that time, Noah has never felt hungry again. The last time he completed the dormant transformation of adolescence, when he woke up, he felt relaxed and in excellent condition. He was at his peak the moment he opened his eyes and did not need any material supplements.

But Noah never expected that this time he woke up even more outrageously. He was actually full. What on earth did he experience during his sleep?
In his dream, he did have a beautiful encounter with an elf, but the final result was still very pleasant.

Although it was just his one-sided happiness, the things that happened in the dream should not be reflected in the real body. It was not the fruit of the golden tree.

"No~"

Thousands of thoughts and countless assumptions flashed through his mind in just a moment. When the awakened ancestor dragon looked up and around, he was stunned for a moment. All he saw was wasteland, with shocking gullies and cracks, as well as craters that seemed to be caused by falling stars, filling his field of vision.

A group of goblins, who were much stronger and obviously different from what he remembered, were flying up and down, repairing the sky and the earth, and injecting new life into these devastated and dead mountains.

"Your Highness Noah!"

Two fairies with elemental light crowns on their heads flew over and landed in front of him. Noah's attention was immediately attracted by the postures of the two fairies. He felt the elements in the atmosphere that attracted the two fairies and showed admiration.
"Finally you're a legend, that's great! You are now all true fairy queens!"

The two fairies in front of him were Sifrea and Lutetia, the first ones to follow him. These two fairies no longer had the huge posture of dragon fairies that were no less inferior to giants. Instead, they regained the petite form that fairies should have, only about three meters tall.

The two fairies are surrounded by a dreamy elemental halo, like a crown, symbolizing the authority they hold in the elemental realm. The color of the crown is as brilliant as a rainbow, but even more brilliant and mysterious than a rainbow.

At first glance, they looked like giant fairies that had completed their evolution and settled down for a long time. The dragon characteristics on their bodies were far less obvious and numerous than those of dragon fairies.

But with just a little observation, one can discover the difference between these two fairies. Where they are is the center where elements gather, and endless free elements are converging towards them.

The most outrageous thing is that these two goblins have terrifying blood energy that is as vast as the ocean. Once it erupts, they will definitely not be weaker than any legendary melee professional.

Noah was in a good mood when he opened his eyes and saw that he had two more legendary followers. It would be even better if his stomach wasn't so full.

"I have failed in my duty. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

Facing Noah's words full of praise and commendation, Lutetia fell to her knees on the ground with a look of self-blame on her face, and the same happened to Sifrea, who was called back by her.

"Me too, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Seeing the two legendary fairies apologizing, Noah once again looked at the Wanlong Palace that had turned into ruins, raised his dragon claw and touched his chin.
"Although I don't know what happened during my sleep, judging from the current traces, it seems that it is beyond the ability of you two little guys to deal with. So it is a blessing that you are still alive and standing in front of me. There is no need to apologize. I want to know what happened now."

The two fairy queens looked at each other, lowered their heads again, and asked their leader for punishment.
"After you fell asleep, we sensed your life force and began to evolve as well, falling asleep with you. We just woke up half a month earlier than you, and we also don't know what happened during this period."

Lutizia was full of self-blame. She had not thought that after she was forced into a deep sleep, there would be a lunatic who dared to attack His Majesty the Holy Dragon. If she had known, even if she had tried her best, she would not have allowed herself to fall into a deep sleep and would have defended him to the death.

After waking up, she was also frightened by the broken Ten Thousand Dragon Palace. She also wanted to figure out what had happened during this period of time, but unfortunately, no fairy could tell her.

It's not that there are no insiders. The Angel Mistress and the princes all know what happened, but the problem is, with her status, even if she has been promoted to a legendary level, she has no qualifications to question the other party, and there is no need for the other party to tell her the whole process.

"so!"

Although the group of goblins in front of him knew nothing, but so far, apart from the devastating damage to his residence, Noah had not seen any major losses. At least Elishim in the distance was still prosperous and orderly, and was not affected by the dilapidated ruins in the mountains.

This is enough to show that although an accident occurred, the problem was not serious and the impact was limited. Judging from the current situation, all the problems should have been resolved.

"father!"

Crystal clear, dragon wings that seemed to be carved from the purest crystal glided across the sky, gorgeous and beautiful bits of ice crystal dust fell from the sky, and the graceful and agile ice dragon pounced on the golden dragon.

Although this ice dragon looked even shorter than one of the golden dragon's horns, this golden dragon, whose length had actually grown to over 150 meters since its awakening, was moved by her. Its winding body swayed, causing the mountains to tremble and the earth to groan.

This is the power that Noah, the ancestor dragon, now possesses. Even a single move, an unintentional act, can create an extremely horrific natural disaster.

In the past, the reason why Noah lived in the Ten Thousand Dragon Palace for a long time was that there were a large number of alchemical matrices engraved in the Ten Thousand Dragon Palace, which could carry the power released inadvertently when Noah was active. But now, these matrices have been basically destroyed.

Now the body of Noah is directly supported by the ground beneath his feet and the sky above his head. However, for an ancestral dragon that has entered adulthood, these are too fragile.

"Hey, my dear daughter!" Noah took off the ice dragon that pounced on his dragon wing and held her in his dragon claws. Looking at his daughter with a flawless dragon body and the potential of her ancestors, his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Do you know how long Daddy has been asleep this time?"

"Dad, you've been sleeping for twenty-seven years!"

"Twenty-seven years!"

After knowing the duration of his sleep period this time, Noah could not help but fall silent.

Although he had anticipated this before falling asleep, he estimated that it would last about twenty years. However, he did not expect that it would still exceed his expectations and grow a little too long. This amount of time is enough for the chicks to leave the dragon's nest and survive independently.

If it were a short-lived species, they could all marry and have children. Those who were quick might have already become grandfathers, with three generations living under the same roof.

Actually, for an ancient dragon, this amount of time is really nothing. If you are a little lazy, you can just take a nap and it will pass.

But the problem is, he is now the Holy Dragon who rules over hundreds of millions of short-lived species. He has been away from office for such a long time, without his supervision and adjustments, especially with the goblin group sleeping with him, it is hard to imagine what kind of changes will happen to his territory as a result.

Without his leadership, guidance and correction, can the order in the Holy Dragon Land still be maintained and continue?

Noah never had such a beautiful dream. When he used the Word Spirit Emperor to patrol the four directions, he had witnessed too many crimes hidden in the darkness.

Officials are not corrupt and nobles are not tyrannical.

Just thinking about it will tell you it's impossible. This goes against the nature of living things. Only by coordinating with laws and using powerful force to deter can we suppress the darkness and evil hidden deep in our hearts.

The Holy Dragon Land had lost his supervision and rule for nearly thirty years. What was the situation now? Noah did not have high expectations.

Although it still looked prosperous on the surface, it was supposed to be like this. Could it be that his son was so incompetent that he could destroy the prosperity he had created in such a short time? What a waste he must be!
"Father!"

The eldest son Elijah arrived, looking more mature and determined both in his aura and gaze.

The eldest son, who was almost two hundred years old, finally possessed some of the dignity and grace that a monarch should have.

But when facing his father, an ancestor dragon who had just awakened, the temperament honed from being in a high position for a long time was suddenly suppressed to the extreme and could hardly be expressed.

"Although I want to say thank you for your hard work during this period, but before that, I want to know what happened, especially why my palace became like this."

Noah's eyes passed from his eldest son to the surrounding ruins.

Although he looked like he didn't care and appeared calm on the surface, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel sad. These palaces were built with his own real gold and silver. No one gave them to him for free. These were all his assets.

Now his assets have suffered a devastating blow. As a dragon, he can still remain so calm and ask the reason, which shows that he has a pretty good temper.

“While you were sleeping, an extremely powerful team consisting entirely of near-saints and descendants of gods attacked your palace.

This is what was left over from the battle. I was not there at the time, so you may have to ask your mother for the details."

Eliade's face was filled with shame, because when he learned that his father had been attacked, everything was already over. The last scene he saw was that his father, who was clearly in a sleeping state, opened his mouth and swallowed a sun.

It was an extremely shocking scene. Even now, the angel and the dragon's son, who had further explored their bloodline and potential, still could not let it go, and their eyes were full of awe when they looked at their father.

Because according to what he learned later, what his father swallowed was not just a descendant of God, but an incarnation of a god who had completed the descent of God, mastered the artifacts, carried a large amount of sun power, and possessed divinity.

For gods, descending through direct bloodline as a vehicle is the strongest form they can achieve in the material world, other than descending in person and walking as a saint.

In fact, this is the true strongest. Unless there is no choice or they are forced, no god will appear in the material world as a saint.

The gods in this form are too fragile. Many legends of mortals killing gods only happened because the gods were in this form.

Although there were other gods behind the scenes fanning the flames, this is enough to illustrate the problem.

The incarnation of the god who descended as a blood descendant, holding a pre-prepared artifact, can mobilize almost inexhaustible divine power and even transform into a sun. Every move he makes can burst out with world-destroying power like a falling meteorite.

Faced with such a god who could use all his means, even the gods who were preparing for the deification ceremony would have to consider retreating or even running away when they met him. However, he was eaten alive by his father.

Such brutal behavior against the enemy really frightened Eliade. You know, even among the opposing color dragons, even the red dragon with the most crazy fighting style would not swallow an equally powerful enemy on the battlefield.

But his father did such a thing. What suffocated the eldest son of the Holy Dragon the most was that his father swallowed more than one.

According to his mother's description, more than half of the members of the team that attempted to assassinate his father were in his father's stomach.

Such behavior was so different from the majestic and noble image of his father in Eliade's memory that he found it hard to believe and even more unacceptable.

Fortunately, his mother said that it was not his father who was in control, but his father's body was just acting on instinct. It sounded much better and his father's authority was maintained, but in a way, it was even more terrifying.
