Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 377: Sweeping the Continent, the Dragon Clan Reigns

"The godhood and divinity left behind after the fall of the ocean god~"

Noah lowered his head and looked at the tiny bit of divine power and the divinity stored in the dragon's claw, which was so tiny that it required extraordinary vision to notice. He couldn't help but laugh, but it was not a laugh of anger.

For a god to be able to give such a reward is already quite generous. It is normal for him to disagree with the distribution plan originally proposed by Noah.

No god wants more competitors. The fewer competitors for priesthood and faith, the better. The fact that they can offer divinity and godhood as a reward is already a sign that the gods value Noah.
Although Noah was given a marine godhood that seemed to have opposite attributes, there was no way around it. Any god who had set foot in the solar realm could not ignore Noah's existence.

They don't care what Noah says, they only care what Noah does. With Noah's current foundation, as long as he gets the appropriate godhood, there will be no suspense in his promotion to god.

The thought of a dragon god of weaker divine power is enough to give any god a headache. The racial advantages of the dragon clan will be reflected again after they are promoted to gods.

Any Dragon God, even if he does not possess a priesthood related to the combat field, has the strongest combat power at the current level and can even fight against opponents of higher levels.

"How cautious and stingy!"

Noah looked at the pitifully small deposit and made a comment.

He has reached an agreement with some gods who do not want to reveal their identities. He will send his legions to fight across planes. These gods will provide him with all the support except that they themselves and their subordinate churches will not fight.

It is precisely because these gods will not perish that Noah demands that these guys must give him a satisfactory reward, otherwise if they dare to pick his fruits, he will definitely retaliate. Under such a threat, they have the pitiful little godhood and divinity in front of them.

These gods promised that, according to the progress of the war, they would give him the remains of the godhood and residual divinity of a fallen god in batches as a reward for the war.

Thus, Noah obtained the divine power that was shining with azure light in his hand. This type of divine power was not completely useless for a fire-attributed golden dragon, but it could be said that it was indeed useless.

The ordinary golden dragon can be said to be the most perfect species of true dragon. It can fly freely in the water, and its range of activities also includes the sea. In Noah's inherited memory, there is also a record of using water to defeat the red dragon.

But it would be very strange if the Golden Dragon developed into a sea god. This is not a problem of incompatibility of attributes, but a lack of compatibility. Even if he could barely become a god, there would still be a lot of problems.

"It's a pity that you don't believe me to be honest. I just want to taste it."

Although he failed to obtain the divinity of the sun realm that was most compatible with him, the divinity of the ocean could fill his stomach and expand his taste buds, as he had never tasted it before.

Bang!

Noah threw the godhead into his mouth. With a crisp chewing sound, the godhead melted in his mouth and he swallowed it in one gulp.

"No~"

Noah only felt a refreshing salty-sweet taste spreading in his mouth, and then nothing happened. The deposit those guys gave was too little.

Wow~

The golden dragon just pondered for a moment, then stretched out his dragon claws and lightly stroked. A stream of water condensed out of thin air and wrapped around his dragon claws, swimming as nimbly as a water snake.

Nourishing ~
The next moment, flames ignited between Noah's dragon claws, and the water flow evaporated into a wisp of water vapor.

"It's too weak. It's just a trick."

Noah made such an evaluation of the authority he had just obtained by absorbing and digesting the divinity. Although his mouth was full of disgust, Noah's eyes were filled with extreme satisfaction.

Born as a golden dragon, he can now manipulate water elements more easily than a water dragon. What does this mean? He has broken the shackles of race and is walking his own path step by step.

He is still an ancestral dragon, but he is gradually transcending the category of the golden dragon. It's just that the way he is growing and becoming stronger is a little bit outrageous. By absorbing divinity, he gains growth in his origin. This is no longer a fear or threat to the gods.

This could be said to be his second greatest secret besides the golden tree. He must not reveal even a little bit of it, otherwise no god would tolerate his existence.

"The war cannot stop!"

The gods provided not only a deposit, but also many dimensional coordinates and a way to deploy large numbers of troops for cross-border operations.

Many believers of gods may still be living in an extremely ignorant, poor and backward feudal era, but all gods that have existed for a long time have powerful magical technology in their hands that is enough to allow mortals to travel through the void.

However, most gods will not bestow these technologies on their believers. This is a conscious blockade and isolation.

But to the outside world, there are not so many requirements. Noah obtained many technologies from the gods that can be used to build semi-permanent cross-border portals. These technologies are different. The real difference is the cost of construction and the energy consumption of transmission.

This was also a considerable expense for Noah, so Noah was not satisfied with acquiring technology. He hoped to obtain the real forbidden knowledge from the hands of the gods.

The complete manufacturing technology of the floating city

This is the knowledge that his adoptive mother Selina dreamed of obtaining. She had been collecting it before his adoptive father was corrupted by the will of hell.

After Noah took control of the Mage City, he had full access to the database and saw the incomplete manufacturing technology in it, but this was not enough to allow a city to rise into the sky.

This level of knowledge is out of reach for a legendary wizard, but not for a god.

However, faced with Noah's request, the god decisively refused.

Because the existence of floating cities can pose a threat to the gods, in the past history, there was a crazy legendary wizard who drove a floating city to attack the kingdom of the gods, causing considerable damage to the kingdom of the gods. Of course, the record of the floating city ended there. In the years that followed, not only was there no record that could surpass it, but the manufacturing technology of the floating city also began to be lost.

Because the gods are very wary of such technology, because no matter which god it is, no one can be sure that if the floating city continues to develop, it will be able to generate enough destructive power to break through the kingdom of the gods.

The gods have seen the creativity of intelligent races. Mortals can shake the gods with their own wisdom, and no god can deny this.

Noah was not disappointed with the gods' response. It was normal to be rejected. If they agreed, Noah would find it strange. The gods were asking for an exorbitant price in the first place. If the gods could agree to part of it, it would be beyond his expectations.

The complete destruction of the Flaming Sun Church, and Noah's subsequent policy of eradicating faith in this land, shocked the Alvis continent and also attracted the attention of many forces in the Zealandia continent.

All the news related to the war spread wildly in the plane where Noah was. The name of the Holy Dragon Noah was known to almost everyone. Whether it was the sky, the earth or the ocean, as long as there were activities of intelligent creatures, Noah's name would definitely be spread.

Even the high-level dragons, who were born sacred, could respond to the malice and hostility of the true God with such a tough and iron-blooded attitude. In the eyes of many forces, this was too crazy.

Of course, what would make many forces who learned about this for the first time feel incredible is that this dragon actually broke through the true God’s religious kingdom.

Although the true God tried to stop it many times during the process, he obviously failed. Such a record, even if only temporary, is enough to attract attention. This is a great achievement that is destined to go down in history.

Blasphemous Dragon! God Slayer! Conqueror who trampled the Theocracy... After Noah's title of Holy Dragon, there were many more titles.

Whether they understood or not, had a favorable impression of Noah or harbored ill intentions towards him, most people were amazed at the incident, and then there were different reactions from all sides.

The countries and forces surrounding the Burning Sun Church began to show goodwill to Noah, cooperate with the policy of eradicating faith, declare the Burning Sun Church to be an evil cult, and suppress and expel it with national power. The forces further away remained silent and said nothing.

Of course, there are also some forces that are ignorant and have jumped out to announce the severance of diplomatic relations with Noah and never to have any contact with him again. Some even want to show off their presence by declaring that Noah is a blasphemous evil dragon and list him as a hostile force.

Noah would naturally not be polite to these forces who wanted to win the favor of the true God. He was not magnanimous enough to tolerate these guys who wanted to step on him and do something.

Punish the criminals and punish the people
Noah declared the leaders of the forces that were openly hostile to him as guilty monarchs, and then, under the pretext of fighting injustice and saving the suffering people who were oppressed and enslaved, he once again launched a cleansing war that lasted less than two years.

In the process of conquering rebellion for Noah, the Dragon Legion, which had already demonstrated strong suppressive power, once again showed their overwhelming combat power.

There is no opponent that can fight with it. The cult army composed of devout believers can fight to the death because of their faith. However, the legion composed of ordinary extraordinary people will collapse as long as the casualty rate reaches 10% to 20%. It is simply unbearable to watch.

During the entire war, the nine dragon regiments did not suffer any significant casualties, and the number of wounded was not even a fraction of that after a battle of the Theocracy.

In every war, the dragons wearing magic armor just need to walk forward, and then the war will be over. As for the higher-level professionals or legends who can pose a threat to the dragons, there will naturally be corresponding dragons to deal with them.

It was at this time that the people of the Alvis continent realized that it was not because the Flame Sun Church was too weak that it was conquered in less than a year, but simply because the Holy Dragon was too terrifying.

Even though he was personally on the battlefield, he was still able to hold on for such a long time. This is enough to prove the extraordinary and powerful belief in gods.

Without this powerful dragon itself taking part in the battle, it only took such a short time for its vassals to sweep across the entire continent of Alvis.

This is mainly because the Dragon Legion's march takes time, otherwise the war will end earlier.

Such bloody results all demonstrate the horror of the Dragon Army, which makes people sigh at how terrifying the dragon force is.

It has been a long time since the end of the era when dragons ruled the sky that such a terrifying dragon kingdom appeared.

But now, the people of the continent of Alvis have once again recalled the sky that was once covered by dragon wings in ancient times and only existed in ancient books. Now such a sky has appeared again, and giant dragons can soar freely above the earth.

"What kind of territorial distribution is this? Is it scattered like stars in the sky?"

When the war of sweeping away the rebellious forces was over, the nine major war groups all sent Noah maps of the forces they had conquered. However, after putting the maps together, Noah made a comment that was somewhat amusing and sad.

There is no other reason, it's just that these countries conquered by the dragon army were too scattered and rarely connected.

There are only a very small number of fools. The countries that want to take advantage of Noah's heyday to show goodwill to a god who has been proven to have lost power in the material world are ultimately a minority. The vast majority of national forces remain silent and choose to wait and see.

It is for this reason that when these countries that made discordant voices were conquered, what was presented to Noah was an extremely scattered map, which were basically enclaves, accounting for less than one or two percent of the total area of ​​the continent.

Even so, the Dragon Legion led by Noah has become the most powerful force in the Alvis continent. Any forces that can come into contact with it in the surrounding areas either express their intention to submit to it, or their leaders simply run away and leave, or at worst try their best to show goodwill and get close to the dragon clan.

Noah's solution to this was to inspect it and then accept it as a vassal who had to pay tribute every year, so why not?

Of course, as a suzerain state, it also has obligations to its vassal states, such as ensuring the legitimacy and continuity of their national political system and ensuring that their national security is not threatened by external threats.

These are not a problem for Noah. Is there any force on the continent that can challenge him? The answer is no.

Originally, on this continent, no matter how powerful a country was, even if it had existed for thousands of years, an ancient force like the Silver Moon Court had to lie dormant under Noah's outstretched dragon wings and express nominal obedience.

After roughly establishing and consolidating the position of the Dragon Legion in the continent of Alvis, Noah once again announced the continuation of the war against the Lord of the Flame Sun, fulfilled the agreement with the gods, and began the construction of a legion-level cross-border portal.

Noah did not build just one such gigantic, spectacular project, but built three at the same time in different locations on the continent of Alvis, all using local resources.
