Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 526: The Demonic Tree That Doesn't Recognize Its Relatives Swallows the Heaven and Earth
The six-winged archangel looked at the blue dragon surging in the blood pool, devouring the devil's flesh and blood, and did not answer, but remained silent.

This dragon-shaped elf no longer had its natural tranquility and divinity. It was now even more vicious and greedy than the demons of the abyss. Even the demons would be ashamed of the greed and tyranny it displayed.

In this state, the shape of the green dragon also underwent significant changes. The blood patterns that were originally only on the edge of the scales in a radiating pattern now extended to the core of the scales, and the green dragon turned into a blood dragon.

"If it's like the Black Devouring Dragon, and it evolves by devouring a large number of demons, what's wrong with that?"

The archangel finally spoke, but he still had high expectations for this dragon tree that was bred from the combination of the Tree of Life and the Abyss Blood Pool, and was quite optimistic about it.

Because the Black Devouring Dragon's performance in many dimensions is so outstanding, although there are defects of one kind or another, these defects can be ignored in terms of the effects it has shown.

The most crucial thing is that the Obsidian Dragon that finally transformed is too perfect. It is a sacred dragon that can completely purify and erase the pollution and erosion of the abyss. To some extent, it is even better than the famous Golden Dragon.

Because of this, even though he didn't fully understand the Blood Abyss Azure Dragon Tree and the Red Eye Azure Dragon, after seeing that the tree exhibited similar characteristics to the Black Devouring Dragon, even though the Azure Dragon that was finally born at this moment was too brutal, the angel thought it was tolerable.

A species created to target the demons of the abyss, so what if they are brutal? They can accept any method of treating demons.

"Do you think it's possible? Plants will use all methods to plunder all nutrients within their growth area, and at the same time kill surrounding competitors..."

Intelligent species always have some strange fantasies and misunderstandings about plants. Because plants cannot pose a threat or harm to them, there will always be some naive people who endow plants with many wonderful qualities and believe that they are selfless contributors.

But in fact, the competition among plants is even more brutal and cruel than the competition among organisms, but it is difficult to detect from the perspective of organisms.

These are just ordinary plants. If plants have extraordinary characteristics, most of them will evolve into carnivorous plants... Just like the seemingly docile and harmless herbivores, they will not give up eating meat as long as they have the chance. The reason they eat grass is because they can only eat grass with their abilities.

There is no such thing as true kindness and harmlessness. Whether it is animals or plants, the meaning of existence is to make themselves survive as well as possible. Even the same is true for the continuation of the race. They strive to survive better, obtain more materials, and become stronger.

It is actually extremely ridiculous that intelligent races try to define and distinguish the various behaviors of these creatures based on the various morals and camps they define. From the perspective of some intelligent races, the evil and kindness they distinguish are essentially the same and there is no difference.

The difference between good and evil lies in the standpoint of those who set such subjective standards. Good behavior is beneficial to me, so it is good, while evil will cause harm and pose a threat, so it should be eliminated. But in essence, these evil and good are just following biological instincts to survive and reproduce.

The reason why the Black Devouring Dragon is secretly promoted by the gods in heaven and is supported and sought after by many intelligent races in the material world is that the Black Devouring Dragon's only target from the beginning to the end is the devil.

He has no interest in any race other than demons, and has never actively attacked races in the material plane. On the contrary, he can make the living environment of some intelligent races better.

Therefore, even though the Black Devouring Dragon looks extremely evil, according to the subjective definition of intelligent races, it is a good dragon like the Metal Dragon Clan.

In fact, the Black Devouring Dragon now enjoys the treatment of a good dragon, and the treatment is so high that even the Golden Dragon has to look up to it.

However, no good dragon can be fully supported by a certain force or a certain country, but the Black Devouring Dragon can receive such care under certain special circumstances.

However, the Blood Abyss Azure Dragon Tree is different from the Black Devouring Dragon. The Black Devouring Dragon was created by a Dragon King who used the power in his hands to distort and transform the original body of the Abyss Demon. But the original version of the Dragon Tree is the Tree of Life.

His Majesty the supreme and majestic Noah Dragon King simply thickened the diet of the Tree of Life, allowing it to take root and grow even in the abyss, and giving it the ability to actively prey, and also gave birth to extreme tree elves such as the Red-eyed Azure Dragon.

If you really want to be picky, the Red-Eyed Azure Dragon cannot be considered a dragon at all. The dragon content in it is extremely low. However, considering that it is a product created by the Dragon King, few people are qualified to deny its dragon identity. If the Dragon King says it is, then it is.

"So this will help us better eliminate the demons and purify the land that has been eroded by the abyss, right?"

It was as if the archangel didn't understand, and he stubbornly believed that the tree in front of him had the same function as the Black Dragon, and perhaps even better.

When the Black Devouring Dragon evolves to the final stage, it will fly away, but a tree, no matter how special it is, will not move away casually, at least that is what the angels think.

Because so far, these trees have performed very well. They do not have the instability of the Black Devouring Dragon, nor have any mutations or alienation. They devour the corpses of demons step by step, absorb the power of the abyss, and transform the lifeless wasteland environment.

This is the second type of savior species created by Dragon King Noah after the masterpiece of the Black Devouring Dragon, a savior dragon species. On this basis, it has become more perfect in all aspects.

Of course, it is worth criticizing that the reproduction method of this type of dragon tree is too primitive and backward, not as advanced and novel as the black dragon.

"Your Majesty, A186 in Virgil District is missing. Please punish me!"

When the third generation of Blood Abyss Azure Dragon Tree was just planted, something that was reasonable and also expected by Noah happened: a third generation Azure Dragon Tree was stolen.

Unlike the outflow and spread of the Black Dragon, which is difficult to trace back to the source, the Dragon Tree's breeding method is extremely primitive. Even though the special environment of the abyss accelerates the process, each tree species produced is limited.

Therefore, as soon as the problem occurred, the commander of the imperial guards in charge of this area not only apologized to Noah, but also submitted the results of the investigation to Noah, which listed all the people who might have the motive to steal the tree.

"It's really hard for them to hold back until now!"

After taking a look at the investigation report submitted by the commander of the Imperial Guards, Noah made a joke, then looked at the commander of the Imperial Guards who was looking ashamed, his eyes were as gentle as the warm sun.
"Get up, the gods have taken action themselves. No matter what precautions you take, this dragon tree cannot be saved."

"Your Majesty, no matter what the reason is, this is our fault."

"A third-generation seed was stolen. How do you think I should punish you?"

"At least get it back."

"Find it back? That's not necessary, but you do need to find him. I want to know how my creation will perform in the material world." The extraordinary characteristics of the three generations of tree species have deteriorated and weakened a lot compared to the ancestral tree. The problem of the dragon clan's bloodline attenuation also appears in plants.

The rules of balance are everywhere. The more powerful the race, the more difficult it is to pass on its heritage. Even if it is passed on, there will be certain omissions. No matter who it is, no one can inherit it 100%.

But as a species born in the abyss, the Dragon Tree also inherited some characteristics of the abyss monsters, that is, it can make up for its shortcomings through devouring and killing and become more perfect.

Therefore, in theory, let alone three generations of seeds, even ten or twenty generations of seeds, as long as enough are swallowed, they can continue to trace back to their ancestors and eventually reach a level that is comparable to or even surpasses the ancestral tree.

This is the extraordinary characteristic bestowed by the chaotic and disordered abyss. Even a lowly demon of humble origin has the opportunity to reach the pinnacle. To some extent, this can be considered a kind of fairness and equality, but few normal-minded creatures in the material world want such fairness.

"There is no hope for our world. There is nothing in the soil except the filthy blood of the devil. No matter what is planted, it will eventually be contaminated and nothing will grow."

"No, we still have hope. The legendary Black Devouring Dragon, as long as the Black Devouring Dragon comes, it will purify our land..."

"Not enough. Even if the Black Devouring Dragon descends, it cannot save our land. The Black Devouring Dragon can devour the evil spirit in the soil, but the land eroded by the evil spirit, even if it recovers, is no different from a desert. We no longer have time to wait, and we don't have the energy to manage it."

"Are we going to abandon the mother tree?"

"Give up? The mother tree has withered. Do you want our tribe to be buried in the ruins along with the mother tree?"

"No, the mother tree is still alive, and its leaves are still green!"

"That's only temporary. The land outside you has been completely polluted. How long do you think our mother tree can hold on?"

"So what do you think should be done?"

"Migrate to a new world. Our world is no longer worth saving."

"Are you going to make us a tribe of wandering elves?"

"For the continuation of the race, we have no choice."

Under the towering, half-dead, half-thriving Tree of Life, the wood elf elders were arguing over the future of their tribe. They had just won a desperate war against the invasion of the abyss.

But after finally uniting with other races and achieving victory, they were greeted with even greater despair. In the ravages of the abyss, the environment had deteriorated to a point that was irreversible and beyond repair. For the survival and development of the ethnic group, the migration faction, whose voices had been suppressed during the war, stood up again.

This time, the wood elves who had managed to survive the war chose to support this voice of escape because they saw no hope.

Once you leave the area covered by the Tree of Life, all you can see is barrenness, without even a weed. But even the Tree of Life cannot survive when the environment is deteriorating all over the world.

In such a situation, even the most loyal elves would not miss their homeland. They would not have enough food, water or warm clothes, and there would be danger of the tribe being destroyed and their heritage being cut off. Who would be willing to endure this?
"Maybe we can ask the gods to give it a try."

"God? We are lowly wood elves. Do those noble gods really have time to care about us?"

When they heard the proposal to pray to the gods, the many elves present, who were filled with blood and murderous aura, showed no expectation in their eyes, because they had been disappointed too many times and naturally had no hope.

"Give it a try!"

However, when the vast majority of wood elves prayed to the elven pantheon without hope, the brilliant divine light tore through space, and a miracle that could save the world occurred at this moment.

"what is this?"

The Great Elder of the Wood Elf who was in charge of the sacrifice looked at the sapling on the altar in some astonishment. It was a sapling that was only half a person's height, surrounded by blood light, and filled with an aura of ominousness and disaster.

But this sapling looks so familiar. If you compare it with the Tree of Life standing in front of you, you can find a lot of similarities between them. This is a sapling of the Tree of Life.

"Nurture and take good care of it. It has the same origin as the Black Devouring Dragon and can solve all your current difficulties."

Even when the abyss invaded and the species was in danger of extinction, the gods did not respond. But on the eve of deciding to migrate the entire tribe, they prayed to the gods without any hope, and the gods suddenly brought down salvation. How could this not surprise the wood elves.

However, no matter how surprised they were at the gods' response, when the gods really offered salvation, it undoubtedly aroused the wood elves' expectations and their nostalgia for their homeland. If there was any possibility, who would be willing to leave their homeland and become a wandering race?

However, when the wood elves followed the oracle and chose to plant this tree of life covered with blood veins and filled with ominousness, strange changes occurred.

The tree of life, which was eroded and damaged by the invasion of the abyss and was constantly withering, was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. The green energy visible to the naked eye was being drawn out of the tree and continuously injected into the new saplings.

This was not an active gift, but a violent plunder of the predecessors by the later generations. In order to maintain conservation and stability, the elves chose to plant the tree of life bestowed by the gods around the mother tree that had protected the tribe for more than 2,300 years, which created such a tragic scene before their eyes.

It is said that this demonic tree is of the same origin as the Black Devouring Dragon. It is indeed absorbing demonic energy and purifying the land, but most of its energy is spent on plundering, plundering the half-dead trees of life that have the same roots and origins.

Under the nourishment of the powerful life force, the tree of life, which was originally only half a person's height, grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and between the treetops, a winding and slender green dragon shadow emerged.
