Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 399: The Cultist Army Invading Elysium
"Noah, are you crazy?"

Less than a day after Noah's announcement, a message from heaven exploded Noah's communication array.

"What on earth are you thinking about?"

The Seraphim Ophelia also found it difficult to remain calm. She stared at the golden dragon hovering in the material world, her eyes full of confusion and puzzlement. She really couldn't understand it.

"My claim has been made clear enough."

Noah had anticipated the reaction of his angel companion, because every sun god was basically a righteous god, more or less connected to the heavens, and given Ophelia's status in heaven, or her father, it was natural that he had a good relationship with these gods.

"You are declaring war on the gods."

Seeing Noah's calm reaction, Ophelia looked angry.

"The Lord of the Flaming Sun has already fallen, and the other gods have not offended you. Why do you still want to make such a proclamation?"

"You are wrong. It is my existence that offends them, not them that offend me."

Noah was very calm.

"I know there are some misunderstandings here, and I'm helping you try to resolve them."

The angel's expression fell, she certainly knew the problems her partner was facing.

After she returned to heaven, she was busy with these issues and tried to find solutions. She knew how powerful the gods were, and she didn't want to see her husband become hostile to those gods.

"Resolve misunderstandings? What misunderstandings? As my partner, you all think that I will become a divine dragon. What do those gods think of me?"

Noah laughed. Not to mention his partner, even his relatives, except himself, believed that he would be promoted to become a Dragon God. Not to mention the even larger number of dragon people, who directly worshipped him as a true God.

Even Noah himself would consider at some point whether he should simply become a god through faith and gain eternal immortality, which would be much easier.

But considering the final choices of the dragon gods, Noah gave up the idea of ​​taking shortcuts. Some roads are easier to get into than to get out.

"My conflicts with these gods started when I entered adulthood. Do you think there is any room for mediation?"

"Why not? I visited the Lord of Dawn and Judgment and told him about your situation."

"The Lord of Dawn and Judgment? He possesses the powerful power of the Sun Priesthood. Why are you paying homage to him?"

Noah certainly knew about this powerful deity. The fact that he used "dawn" as the prefix of his name was enough to prove how powerful this deity was.

Dawn is when the sun is about to rise. It represents a state, or more like a concept, that covers all moving suns.

In comparison, the name of the god, Lord of the Burning Sun, seems rather petty, because it can be understood as the ruler of the burning sun.

But the sun is not such a narrow thing. In billions of material planes, the sun exists in many different forms. Any celestial body that hangs in the sky and radiates light and heat can be considered the sun, regardless of color.

"You need the protection of a powerful enough god!"

What Ophelia said was also not beyond Noah's expectations. When she just said "Greetings to the Lord of Dawn and Judgment", Noah had some guesses in his mind.

"Do you want me to be a subordinate or servant god to this powerful god?"

Noah didn't get angry, he just smiled and asked.

The so-called subordinate gods are subordinate gods who possess independent priesthood, divinity and divinity. Although they need to obey the dispatch and orders of the Lord God, in fact, because of their own independence, they can refuse orders as long as they can bear the consequences.

As for the servant gods, it is different. All their divinity and even immortality come from the Lord God. Therefore, they have no right to refuse. They must obey all orders issued by the Lord God, otherwise they will lose everything in an instant with just a thought.

"Of course from God. With your personality, how could you possibly be willing to become a servant of God?"

Ophelia replied.

"It seems that you still don't know me well enough. If you know me well, you should know that with my personality, even if I choose to be deified, I will never choose to be a subordinate god of any god."

Noah sighed softly. It wasn't that he felt his angel companion didn't know him well enough. They just had such a short time together that it was unrealistic to expect Ophelia to know him in every detail.

"The Lord of Dawn and Judgment is a very powerful god. He has incarnated as light many times to dispel the darkness and evil in the world. He upholds justice and makes objective and impartial judgments for all just actions. At the same time, he also protects the kind and weak, speaks for the oppressed innocent people, and maintains civilized order and justice..."

Ophelia was not discouraged when she heard Noah's refusal, but further introduced the Lord of Dawn and Judgment to Noah.

"That's enough. I will not submit to any god in any form. I hope you can understand this. No need to introduce it. Let alone powerful divine power, even if a great divine power descends, I will not surrender."

"Noah, you don't understand how powerful the gods are!"

Seeing that Noah's attitude did not soften at all, Ophelia reprimanded him.

"Although I have never seen the true form of any god with my own eyes, I think that when it comes to experience in fighting against the incarnations of gods, even you are not as good as me."

“Noah, I’m worried about you and looking for a way out for you. If you continue to be so stubborn, all these powerful gods, including the Lord of Dawn and Judgment I just mentioned, will be hostile to you.

Perhaps these majesties will not care about your existence, but their gods will definitely take measures to mobilize the secular believers to wage war against you. How long do you think you can resist?"

"Of course I will persist until I win the final victory."

Noah laughed.

"You are too arrogant, Noah. Do you think that just because you defeated the incarnation of the Lord of the Flaming Sun, you can ignore the influence of the gods in the secular world?"

"I have never looked down upon the gods. That is why I will never leave the material world until I have the power to fight against their true selves."

"But how long can you stay in the material world? At your current growth rate, it won't be long before the rules of the material world will exclude you."

Ophelia brought up a problem that Noah had to face. The reason why proto-dragons were rare in the material world was not only because of the small number of proto-dragons, but more importantly, the fully grown proto-dragons were not tolerated by the rules of the material world.

"I have a solution."

Noah did have many ideas about how to stay in the material world for a long time.

"Since you have a plan, I have done unnecessary things. In this case, I have nothing to say. I hope you can achieve your wish and become an immortal dragon."

Seeing that Noah only said one sentence without revealing the specific plan, Ophelia's eyes dimmed slightly. After giving her blessings, she made a new request.

"Before that, I hope you can let Iliad return to me. It's too dangerous for him to stay with you. As a mother, I hope my son can be safe. Can you understand?"

"I understand your feelings, but Elijah has grown up. He is no longer a child, so we should all respect his choice. What do you think?"

Noah asked back, throwing the question back.

"You seem very confident that Eliade will stay by your side."

Seeing the golden dragon in front of him speaking like this, the archangel couldn't help but narrow his eyes, looking a little unfriendly.

"Not staying with me, but staying in the kingdom that belongs to him. He will not abandon his people. I have enough confidence in his character and morality, all because of your teachings."

Noah couldn't help laughing when he saw his partner's angry expression, and at the same time he said something to comfort him, but it was obviously of no use.

"Humph!"

The angel, who couldn't stand Noah's arrogant attitude, angrily smashed the communication array in front of him. After venting his anger secretly, he contacted his only child again.

However, just as Noah showed his confidence, when Eliade, who was leading troops outside, heard his mother asking him to return to heaven to be with her, he refused without hesitation.

Elijah certainly knew how generously he would be treated after returning to heaven. As a descendant of Seraph, he could easily obtain everything his mother had now and become the great lord of heaven that he wanted to be when he was young.

When he becomes the Lord of Heaven, the people under his rule are celestial creatures, with good character, justice in their hearts, civilization and order. For a ruler, there is no better people than these, and he does not need to do almost anything to maintain his rule.

In comparison, the people under his rule now are simply unruly, stubborn, ignorant and seem hopeless.

Even so, Eliade did not intend to give up, because this was inconsistent with the education he received. As Noah praised, it was the angels' outstanding character that cultivated such an excellent and wise monarch. He would never retreat in the face of danger and abandon his country and people.

Not to mention the extremely angry and self-blaming mother in heaven, and the eldest son of the Holy Dragon who has calmed down, strengthened his will, and continues to lead his troops in battle.

At this moment, with the plane where Noah was located as the center, a huge wave swept across countless planes. All planes with faith in the sun god were affected, and only the planes that were not illuminated by the sun were unaffected.

But how many dark planes are there? The sun and the moon exist in almost every plane, the only difference between them is the size and number.

Therefore, when the announcement of the existence of the self-proclaimed Holy Dragon of the Sun was made, almost all the beliefs in gods related to the sun, that is, the major churches, received the relevant information.

Angry accusations and roars, or silence and cold eyes, or simply not saying a word, but directly giving the order to summon the cult army.

Regardless of the reaction of the churches of gods who received the relevant news, they all gave the arrogant dragon the same identity.

Blasphemous heresy!

Even though most of the cults knew that there was a blasphemous dragon in a distant alien plane, they chose to ignore it and not take any action because of the long distance or the lack of power of the church to start an expedition to the plane.

The dragon didn't target any specific god. He was just firing a map cannon. In that case, why should he rush out in a hurry? It won't be too late to make a decision after seeing the reactions of other sects.

However, even if 99% of the divine cults, for one reason or another, did not process or respond after receiving the message.

But even if there are only a few believers in the gods who receive the news, react to the stress and take action, when they are gathered together, they are an extremely terrifying force.

Therefore, on the third day after Noah made his declaration, a space portal with sparks suddenly opened in the suburbs of Elisim, and at the other end of the portal, a murderous army was reflected.

The roar of griffins resounded through the sky, and before the residents near the outskirts of the city could react, a large group of griffin knights, holding high their dragon spears with some kind of sun-patterned flags, charged into the sky of Elisim with murderous intent.

“Fight for what you believe in, fight to win.”

"Follow the will of our Lord and eliminate heresy!"

"The glory of the sun cannot be desecrated!"

The Griffin Knights who tried to occupy the sky were just the vanguard. On the ground, there were even more knights riding their shaggy-haired war horses and setting foot in the suburbs of Elisim.

Such a sudden change and invasion really shocked the nearby dragon residents, but these dragon people reacted extremely quickly.

The Land of Holy Dragon has been in a war mode for a long time. From adult dragons to the elderly, children, women and children, every citizen of Holy Dragon is preparing for war. It is no exaggeration to say that every citizen has armor and swords in his home, ready to step onto the battlefield at any time.

Therefore, when these dragons, who had never had the opportunity to go to the battlefield, found that an army under the command of a hostile false god suddenly appeared beside them, they suddenly became excited.

"Military achievements! Noble title!"

In the minds of the dragon people, this foreign invading army that suddenly appeared has such an identity and status.

"Everyone, don't fight, don't grab, and don't make a scene. I am a veteran who has retired from the battlefield for ten years. Everyone, listen to my command. Old and young, women and children, find shelter and hide nearby. Don't be greedy for merit, and don't advance rashly..."

Seeing such a legion suddenly appear in front of him, an old dragon soldier immediately stood up and tried to give orders, but soon a dragon soldier pushed him away very roughly.

"You are just a rookie with only ten years' experience. What's your command? If you don't dare to come forward, just get out of the way. Why are you hiding? If you don't grab it now, it will be gone!"

The griffin rider who first rushed into the sky of Elisim has now turned into raindrops in a rainstorm, falling from the sky to the earth.

As the flying dragons roared and screamed excitedly, the throats of these specially trained and cared-for sacred griffins were torn apart one after another, and they were almost unable to compete with the patrolling dragon cavalry...
