Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 404: Promoted to Dragon King: Devouring the World
"Uncle, this is the nineteenth delegation seeking assistance that I have received this month."

Alexander, the third-generation monarch of Atlas, who was known as the Golden Dragon King and the first subordinate of the Holy Dragon, confided to Noah the troubles he was facing.

"Do you think I should send troops to help?"

"You can just decide on this matter yourself. Why do you need to ask for my opinion?"

Noah showed dissatisfaction with his great nephew's request for help. Now that his sights have been raised to the plane war, it is simply a waste of time for him to ask how to deal with the conflicts among small countries on the mainland.

"Uncle, what I want to ask is about the Green Tide Disaster. Should we intervene and contain them? We can no longer allow them to invade the southern countries."

Seeing his uncle who didn't care about such a small matter, Alexander couldn't help but ask the question he really wanted to ask.

"The Green Tide? You mean the group of wandering elves? If you have extra troops, go and stop them. They are indeed too rampant and need to experience some setbacks."

Although his attention was all on the plane war, it was certainly impossible for him to say that he didn't care about his own homeland. Noah also knew why his nephew was so anxious.

One of the two main directions of attack by that group of elves now is the southern countries, which were originally regarded as a sure thing by Alexander. This guy planned to wait until he had strong troops and horses before heading south to expand the territory of the kingdom. However, he was overtaken before he even started.

"Uncle, it is very simple to send the Dragon Riders to help. I am sure I can win the war. But if I kill too many elves and the elven gods intervene in the war..."

The Golden Dragon King was worried and full of doubt, but the arrogance and contempt revealed in his words would be unbearable for any elf who heard it.

Because what this monarch was worried about was that after intervening in the war, the elven gods might be killed for slaughtering too many elves. As for the endless stream of stray elves, he did not take them seriously at all.

This was the confidence that emerged after he participated in the Plane War. Of course, the most important reason was that he had exhausted countless resources and used the whole country's strength to train the Dragon Cavalry Army over a period of a hundred years.

That is an armed legion that can definitely sweep across the continent. Of course, the premise is that we have to ignore the unconventional dragon armed forces like those under his uncle's command.

"With me here, what are you afraid of? Soldier against soldier, general against general, king against king. If the elves and gods die because of the failure of the war, I will naturally deal with them."

Noah narrowed his dragon eyes and immediately made a promise to his nephew.

He had long disliked the elven gods. These could be said to be the first gods he had a problem with. What's more, these guys had been making small moves from the beginning to the end, and now they were even more blatant.

Couldn't he see the purpose of constantly sending wandering elf tribes to Zealandia? It seemed to be to fill the deficit of the royal court, but who was it actually targeting?

Now, the Shining Moon Alliance, composed of foreign wandering elf tribes, is invading the south and west of the continent. When most of the continent has fallen into the hands of the elves, where will the remaining targets of this group of elves be?

So hard to guess!

Will the state machine, which has tasted the dividends of war through continuous wars, stop without being hit by external forces? It is impossible.

Noah understood it very clearly. The little calculations of the elven gods were too obvious. Noah even suspected that it was not just the elven gods who were involved, but other gods as well.

"I feel relieved with your words, uncle."

After hearing what he wanted from his great-uncle, Alexander jumped up with an expression of unconcealable excitement.

He has been unhappy with the elves for a long time, but he just didn't have the opportunity before, because before that, the ruler in the Elf King's Court was his sister, and it didn't make sense for a brother to beat his sister. But now, if he still doesn't take action, he might as well abdicate.

"Wait a minute."

Seeing the young-looking monarch in front of him, who was as excited as a newlywed, Noah called out to him.

"Uncle, do you have any other instructions?"

Although he was the monarch of a country, Alexander still maintained his respect for this elder as he did when he was a child. Of course, the most important reason was the amazing power possessed by this elder, and he had no choice but to submit.

If any of the younger generation was not filial, this great uncle would really dare to whip them. According to some uncertain information collected by Alexander, one of his younger brothers had actually been tortured by his great uncle, and in the end he was convinced and never dared to do anything else.

"You can try to contact your sister. I think you can both give each other some unexpected surprises in this regard."

"Parvati?"

Alexander couldn't help but frown. Although he acknowledged this half-sister of his, judging from her ruling over the past years, she had completely integrated into the elves, and all the decisions she made were entirely based on the interests of the elves.

"The interests of the Royal Court elves and the Alliance elves are not the same. If you want to attack the Alliance elves, then the Royal Court elves will definitely be willing to cooperate with you."

Noah gave some advice, mainly because he had more information channels than the monarch. For example, Parvati would send intelligence related to the royal court from time to time, allowing Noah to have a good understanding of the situation inside the elves.

"I know about the differences among the elves, but with the gods in charge, do those elves have the guts to sabotage in secret?"

"Don't think that the elves' faith is so devout. They are immortal and have no fear of death. How much of their faith in the gods do you think is real?"

Noah sneered.
"More importantly, the interests of the Royal Court Elves have been damaged. They are in urgent need of recovering their losses and returning to their former glory."

"I understand."

Alexander looked thoughtful.

The next day, a piece of breaking news came from the Kingdom of Atlas. The current monarch, the Golden Dragon King, accepted the submission and loyalty of the nine southern countries, took the nine countries as vassals, and signed a military assistance contract with them.

It was promised that as long as these vassal states were threatened by external forces and had no ability to resist, military assistance would be provided to ensure the survival of the country.

Without exception, these countries are basically under the attack of the Alliance Elves and face the threat of national extinction at any time. It is precisely because of such pressure that they are willing to become vassals. Otherwise, they would be so free and easy to encircle their own land and become kings.

When this news came out, many small countries that had been worried and afraid that they would be destroyed by the elves, suddenly felt relieved. The local forces finally couldn't stand the foreign elves' wanton behavior anymore and planned to intervene.

However, the day before, it was reported that the Kingdom of Atlas accepted nine vassal states, but the next day, the Shining Moon Spirit Alliance responded by destroying three states in a row. "Oh, such a rampant foreign elf, it seems that I, the Golden Dragon King, am not taken seriously by these wild elves!"

After receiving the news, Alexander laughed angrily. He did not take this group of wild elves seriously, but these wild elves did not take him seriously either, without any scruples at all.

"Send troops!"

Without any doubt, Alexander led the army personally. The golden dragon, which had not moved for many years and was no less large than an ancient dragon, spread its wings and soared over the city of Uther.

Under this pair of golden dragon wings, there were roars and howls of dragon beasts one after another. The earth was shaking, the earth dragons were charging, the sky was dim, and flying dragons were everywhere.

When the dragon cavalry belonging to the Augustus family set out, the sky and the earth were filled with dragon beasts. Being among them, it was as if one was dreaming back to the time when dragons ruled the world.

“It’s so tragic!”

Under the golden tree, Noah was like the creator god, overlooking the bloody battlefield reflected by the roots of the golden tree. All living things were before his eyes, and all destinies were controlled by him.

Unfortunately, this was just an illusion. In this nebula, Noah was just a bystander, overlooking the progress of the war, and then watching the elves die one after another under the blades of the Dragon Riders, providing some nutrients for the growth of the Golden Tree Blood Fruit.

Ang~
The roar of the golden dragon resounded between the sky and the earth. With the help of the true blood of the ancestral dragon, the dragon-shaped followers who had already entered the legendary realm performed on the battlefield in no way inferior to the real ancient golden dragon, and even better.

The Golden Dragon King standing on the dragon's back, holding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, is even more unstoppable. When the dragon rider monarch leads his legion and charges into the elf army, he is invincible and no one can stop him.

"kill!"

The elves who had wandered and survived from the outside world were all very powerful. Without any words, the five legendary elves worked in perfect harmony and surrounded and killed Alexander.

Unfortunately, as a dragon knight, Alexander's strength is far more powerful than his brothers. He is the true blood descendant who has received the complete inheritance, while his brother is just a loser who survived by chance.

"Not bad!"

A thick blood energy rose up, and Noah looked at the elf hanging on Alexander's dragon spear and couldn't help but let out a sound of approval.

When this strand of blood rose along the branches of the golden tree into the tree's crown, blood-red fruits immediately formed at a speed visible to the naked eye and matured quickly.

Click~

Noah stretched out his dragon claws, picked the fruit, and swallowed the whole blood-origin fruit as if he was tasting a small cherry.

However, the blood fruit that made Noah feel hot and uncomfortable, his dragon blood boil, and even caused his bloodline to revert to its ancestral form and evolve in his childhood did not cause any special reaction in Noah now. He just felt like he had swallowed a delicious and slightly warm fruit.

Noah is now obtaining fruits at a faster and faster speed, but the effect of the fruits on him is becoming less and less effective. No, it is not that the efficiency of the fruits has become less, but that his bloodline is too strong and his foundation is too thick. If he wants to evolve again with the same fruit, he needs to accumulate more of it.

"How many blood source fruits do I need to accumulate in order for me to evolve into a dragon king?"

Noah was quite confident about his bloodline status. In the bloodline level of ancestral dragons, he was definitely at the top. One step further, he would probably be the Dragon King.

But the gap between the Dragon King and the ancestral dragons is simply incomparable. It is the difference between gods and humans. It is so difficult to cross that gap.

"Or does that mean that your role ends here? You can't help me become the Dragon King, and I can only rely on my own efforts and struggles?"

Noah stretched out his dragon claws and gently brushed the sparkling tree trunks beneath him.

Noah knew how to be promoted to the Dragon King, and he also understood the various necessary conditions to become the Dragon King.

Because of this, Noah had great doubts about relying solely on devouring the fruit of the golden tree to push his bloodline to the level of the Dragon King. He felt it was unreliable and impractical.

Because the Dragon King not only symbolizes the status of the bloodline, the birth of each Dragon King represents the strength and prosperity of the dragon clan, and represents that the dragon clan will have new branches.

The Dragon King was able to use himself as a template to create a race that could survive and reproduce in the world. This alone was enough to demonstrate the Dragon King's dignity, which was completely incomparable to the ancestral dragons, because the Dragon King's creations included the ancestral dragons.

The strongest ancestor dragon is still an ancestor, and the weakest dragon king is still a dragon king. There is no point in comparing the two.

"Only by devouring the spiritual energy of a world can one become a dragon king!"

Noah recalled the various methods of becoming a Dragon King in his inheritance, and pondered silently in his mind.

"How is this possible?"

It must be said that there are only a few ways for a Dragon King to be promoted, each one is more unreliable than the other, making the dragons feel as if they are being played and fooled by the Creator, because it is not something that creatures in the secular world can accomplish.

Even the simplest one seemed incomprehensible to Noah. From a literal meaning, it seemed that one could be promoted to the Dragon King as long as one swallowed the entire material plane.

To be honest, if this can be eaten and digested, then this would be even more outrageous than the Dragon King. But the problem is, how can this be eaten?

Or, the so-called world refers to a divine object like the World Tree. If he could take a few bites and become a Dragon King, it would not be difficult to understand, but where could he find the World Tree?
Even though Noah is now experienced in life, he still can't help but feel all kinds of troubles surging up in his mind. In the midst of this trouble, Noah can't help but look at the golden tree under him, and a strange impulse and thought come to his mind.

How about taking a bite and trying it?
"Come to think of it, I've eaten so many fruits, but I've never eaten branches and leaves."

There is no need to explain the mystery of the golden tree. Although Noah believes that he has come to this point mainly because of his own efforts and struggles, the golden tree also played an important role in it.

"Just take a bite, just try it, it shouldn't be a problem!"

After a moment's hesitation, Noah stretched out his evil dragon claws towards the golden tree...
