Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 280 Never Ending
In the long run, the universe will eventually reach heat death!

Everything starts out in order and then tends towards a final, short-lived but ultimately unavoidable disorder. This is the ultimate extinction that even the gods with great divine power cannot prevent.

Everything will end eventually, it’s just a matter of time, so the meaning of life is the journey itself.

Charon stood motionless, his huge dragon body like a stone that had been lying prone for tens of millions of years. The beating rhythm of his two hearts approached zero, and only after a long time did he begin to pump out the sound of life.

It was as if the pulse of this ancestral red dragon's life itself had approached the pulse of the entire world.

The head of the ancestral red dragon rests on its own wrapped dragon tail. On its closed eyes, the bright red scales dance with different lusters as the surrounding environment changes.

The bright red scales all over the body move spontaneously like flowing water, just like a living scale armor structure.

It is as if the existence of this red dragon itself spontaneously absorbs different radiation waves around it, the sun's beam waves, the earth's magnetic field ripples, and the magnetic field waves of living beings and plants themselves.

His own vibrations are in harmony with all things in the world around him and are vibrating at all times.

But in the eyes of other people and dragons, the aura of the ancestral red dragon remains the same because it cannot be detected.

As dark and deep as the sea, it coexists with all things in heaven and earth and with elemental magic. It exists in their eyes but not in their perception.

His spirit was wandering in the ocean of plane laws that created the world, and a natural emotion burst out from his heart.

A true dragon should stay in a place without a ceiling.

There are no self-limitations, no ignoring of the shackles of others, and no confinement to the dome of the plane world.

The shackles of the evil dragon's bloodline are nothing more than a minor obstacle on the road ahead.

Since his childhood, Kalon has been moving in his own direction. He killed his weakness, extinguished his laziness, and controlled his desires.

But this does not mean that this ancestral red dragon is like those people who are devoted to seeking the truth and ignore everything else.

Caron was also feeling the scenery around him, the things and creatures he encountered on his journey.

The empire he created served him, the dragons, and his goal. But when he had time to spare, he also hoped that his empire would become better and the people of the empire would have a better life.

The dragons got rid of the confusion of animality and evil blood and were no longer like wild beasts.

He was also willing to lead the entire race of dragons out of such a difficult situation.

Perhaps this is the thought contained in the souls that once lived under the country of the scorching sun: if you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.

Because Charon is a dragon now, the dragon clan is the foundation of his race and civilization. At least in this regard, he feels that he is worthy of the title of Dragon Emperor.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why Charon was reincarnated as a red dragon instead of other scaly dragons.

But now, all the goals and feelings in his mind in the past have been forgotten by this ancestral red dragon.

Charon forgot his instincts as an ancestral red dragon, forgot the existence of his own body, and also forgot his deep instinctive understanding of all power.

He even forgot to rely on his own subjective mental power to consume his own magic power and strength to pry the rules of the world, thereby initiating the energy operation laws under the rules of the world to release the effects of the spell.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the World Tree taking root in the origin of the plane, Charon wanted to touch the rules that constitute the plane world, but what he welcomed was the baptism and impact of the historical torrent of the birth of the world.

The memory of this world that has existed since its birth is like a phantom of history.

Although these phantoms of history were like slides playing in Caron's mind, they also allowed the ancestral red dragon to deeply feel the eternal loneliness. All the desolation was precipitated by the passage of time.

All the activities of life in the world remain motionless beneath our feet, and the eternal world seems to be a short-lived illusion.

It seems as if the world itself has been watching the various aspects of life, joys and sorrows, separations and reunions in the mortal world over tens of millions of years.

“Perhaps after thousands of years, I will be like the world beneath my feet, unmoved and indifferent and at peace with everything.”

The ancestor red dragon couldn't help but think so in his mind.

No matter how strong the will is, no matter how unforgettable the feelings are, can they still maintain their original appearance after being washed away by endless time?

All ambitions and feelings may no longer be important after the seas have dried up and the rocks have crumbled and the world has changed.

"So, how do those gods who are almost the embodiment of rules deal with this kind of time-consuming struggle?"

"Or is it that the duties of the gods who sit high on the thrones of the astral world contain their secrets?"

There were some ripples in Caron's mind. Even though he was immersed in such indifference, his brain was still thinking instinctively and non-stop.

Although Kalon did not like the evil dragon's blood interfering with his independent will, he did not regard the evil dragon's blood as something that should be abandoned, but regarded it as his own property.

It was also under such circumstances that the poison and chaos caused by the evil dragon's blood were instead controlled by the ancestral red dragon and became one of its own powers.

But the brutality and poison contained in the blood of the evil dragon, or the original ignorant bestiality, are carried by Charon's dragon-born appearance.

Because of special circumstances, these aspects belong to a multi-in-one state with Caron himself. Therefore, just like the contents of different disks in a computer, they cannot affect the operation of Caron's computer itself, but they can be mobilized at any time when needed.

However, even if the evil blood was as strong as that of the ancestral red dragon, it could not maintain its appearance forever in the torrent of time and return to peace.

Just like those giant dragons that have passed through the ancient dragon and great ancient dragon periods, they have begun to be able to abandon the interference of evil dragon blood and can choose to possess rational and clear wisdom.

Those ancient dragons are as powerful as god-like creatures walking in the planes, and the dragon blood in their bodies has also been tamed by a long time.

As for those gods, some have existed in the universe since the beginning of the world, witnessing the creation and decline of the world, and the time they have experienced is thousands of times longer than that of the ancient dragons.

Although these gods rarely come to the world, they all possess distinct human nature in legends and stories, whether they are greedy, cunning, or evil.

"Perhaps, their strongest desires and emotions are solidified and wrapped, fixed in the priesthood of these gods, so as to maintain their independent feelings that are not eroded by rules and time, just like Tiamat, the immortal queen."

"His ministry contains greed, which is the most characteristic emotion of a dragon. If this is the case, it is not difficult to understand why those gods are so paranoid in dealing with certain things, to the point of appearing quite stupid."

The aura of the thinking ancestral red dragon seemed to be rippling with its thoughts, allowing the surrounding dragons to also feel the changes in the aura from Charon. This aura brought the dragons an indescribable feeling.

Just like the Dragon Knight and the other legion warriors saw the dragons standing tall among the hills of bones, with divinity and animality coexisting.

In the pupils of these giant dragons, the ancestral red dragon also seemed to be shrouded in a divine aura.

"Some wise men among mortals have said that the higher the wisdom one possesses, the closer one will be to the realm of divinity, because profound wisdom can allow people to see the world clearly, have absolutely rational thinking, see through all interference from emotional feelings, and abandon all desires, just like a thinking machine in another universe."

The white dragon Gmot stretched his head in front of the ancestral red dragon and shouted in surprise: "Karon will not choose to take this path, right? Then, will Karon be a dragon or a machine named after a dragon?"

The teenage white dragon, who has grown to be sixteen meters long, is much smarter than his brothers, especially now that he has complete control over the dragon blood and possesses his own intelligent consciousness.

"impossible,"

The blue dragon Dos shook his head. Lightning patterns and thunder spots were entwined on his huge horn. He bared his fangs and whispered, "Karon will not choose this path. Although the empire is his tool, it is also a hindrance to him. The empire and the dragons are his emotional anchors. He will not give up on us."

The voice of the blue dragon Doss seemed to be trying to persuade the white dragon Gemot, and also seemed to be comforting his own frightened heart.

The Gogmora dragon group has feelings and ties that are rare among evil dragons. These giant dragons have long been an inseparable part of the family.

The green dragon Antajena's beautiful emerald eyes sparkled, and she laughed softly, using her bewitching talent for the first time to comfort the giant dragons who were beginning to worry.

"For most dragons, the road ahead is straight and wide. They just need to keep moving forward. But they only have one way to move forward." "But for a dragon like Kalon, it is much more difficult," the green dragon laughed, "because there are countless straight and wide roads waiting for him to choose. Kalon will only choose the road he wants to take and walk to the end."

The discussion of these dragons was not heard by Charon, who was immersed in the ocean of the origin of the plane.

Although these dragons did guess Charon's state at a certain period of time, when his wisdom came into contact with the plane rules and operated at full power, Charon was extremely close to the realm of divinity.

In this way, he was able to see the big picture from the small details, and through the changes in the ancestral dragon blood in his body and his own will and spirit, he was able to guess some of the rules of the gods.

However, Caron's own overly strong subjective will quickly withdrew from the influence of this time phantom, and began to move from a passive state of perception to an active state.

With the special talent of the World Tree, the spirit of the ancestral red dragon was able to temporarily roam in the origin ocean of the plane, just like the countless regular aggregates in the void settled under the ocean formed by the original power.

Those colorless, intangible, invisible and incorporeal plane origins manifest as materialized energy, and every strand of energy contains the power of the plane rules.

However, these plane rules are a complete whole. Even the ancestral red dragon with extremely strong computing power needs to find the corresponding rules in these plane rules based on its own understanding and the essence of spells, rather than directly calculating and observing.

Then, on the body of the ancestral red dragon in the outside world, the mana streams and light bands formed by magic runes began to flow.

The eighty-nine thousand three hundred and seventeen magic runes mastered by the ancestral red dragon intertwined and transformed into various spell models under his will, triggering the laws revealed in this world to trigger the effects of magic.

The flow of mana and the changes in the rune light bands are so rapid and complete that in the eyes of each dragon, the effects of the spells around the ancestral red dragon are different. They can only observe the knowledge that they understand and master.

What the female red dragon Clenaya saw was the magic of fire spells. It kept changing in her eyes. The flames flickered and jumped on the body of the ancestral red dragon, flickering. The bright and dim areas overlapped, just like the changes of dawn and dusk.

In the weave of these flame runes, from tricks to ninth-level spells, from low-level fire-controlling spells to high-level cloud-burning spells, all magic related to fire attributes can find corresponding models in them, which made Clenaya enter a state of learning for a while.

What the two white dragons saw were the knowledge and insights about ice spells and specific spell models, from entry-level wizard tricks like Frost Touch to mid- and high-level ice spells.

Among them, the White Dragon Lord Gmot also comprehended some other knowledge, such as strange spells such as anti-magic force field and phantom dragon.

The two blue dragons saw the understanding and application of thunder and lightning, as well as some control techniques in the magical flow on the surface of the ancestral red dragon's body.

Such as chain lightning and weather manipulation, as well as knowledge of how to construct electromagnetic fields and use them to accelerate things.

The green dragon Antajena excitedly came to the body of the ancestral red dragon. Although a green dragon that grew to be sixteen meters long was already the best among the green dragon species, in front of the body of the ancestral red dragon, she was like a pilgrim looking at a sculpture.

But what the green dragon Antajena saw was not some powerful spells, but some spells that the ancestral red dragons had learned and forgotten, such as sweet talk, mind control, telepathy and strange spells like mental retardation.

What the Black Dragon Lord Rossani saw were the techniques and related spells used by the ancestral red dragons to manipulate the earth, as well as the study of the bones of the legendary demon Sacres and the rule runes engraved on the demon's bones.

These dragons were all immersed in the tip of the iceberg that the ancestral red dragon inadvertently revealed, but not a single dragon was able to realize it.

The rune flows on Charon's body outlined the corresponding spell model each time, but stopped immediately before inducing the corresponding spell effect, failing to cause the magic effect to produce the expected power. What a terrifying understanding and control this is.

Most of today's spellcasters, in front of this ancestral red dragon, even if they are of the same level or even several levels higher, cannot maintain the advantage that a mage should have.

The powerful skills and secret techniques that mages focus on, such as spell enhancement and spell maximum effect, are just readily available to Charon, just like playing house.

Because the essence of these techniques is to outline the spell model, trigger the spell's effects, enhance the power of the magic effect, and thus enhance the power of the spell.

But the ancestral red dragon can directly manipulate the effects of magic based on the essential rules of the birth of magical effects. If Charon is willing, he can even use his powerful mental power to determine the threshold of magical effects produced by each spell he masters.

In short, Charon can make a trick burst out with a power far beyond its level, and can also completely eliminate the power of a nine-ring spell's magical effect, just like some silencing spells. The difference is that Charon achieves this effect by suppressing the threshold of the magical effect.

With this comparative reference and the rapid calculations of his two brains, Charon quickly found the corresponding rules and essence behind the spells he mastered from the densely woven plane origins that formed a whole.

With these thread-like traces, Caron can begin to sort out what he wants to do from the beginning.

Without the medium of spells and magical knowledge, even the evolved brain of the ancestral red dragon would find it difficult to directly understand the rules of the plane, but fortunately, Charon did not intend to do so.

The ancestral red dragon took this rare opportunity to deduce and calculate his future path, which was the path to becoming a legend and following the laws of legendary destiny.

Those rules cannot be mastered and quickly learned by the ancestral red dragon, but in Charon's superb computing power, the existence of these rules as quantitative numbers that have already been born are added to the future model calculated by Charon. With the power he possesses and his understanding of the relevant rules, he deduces and calculates his own path.

What I learned from the legendary demon Sacres is to gather people together to determine the path I want to pursue.

The quantities and variables such as the earth and metal, thunder and fire that Charon controls, as well as the power of storms that he will control in the future, are added into the calculation of the model.

Earth, water, wind, fire, space and consciousness evolve and constitute the foundation of the world. The five origins of gold, wood, water, fire and earth serve as the pillars of the birth of the world. The four great powers of the universe serve as the body of the world.

There is also a rapid flow of quantitative and variable laws that constitute the origin of this plane world, which eventually form a solid world system that is large enough to encompass a huge number of laws.

It is like the demon kingdom of the legendary demon Sacres, which condenses the root power of thousands of demon lords.

But soon, Caron's brows furrowed.

Because he constructed his own system of cognition and laws in the way of the legendary demon Sacres. Even if he could really create it successfully, a single world would find it difficult to carry all the laws.

Just like in the universe, there are not only various ordered main material planes, but also chaotic abyss planes, shadow planes, and evil nine hells planes. The underlying rules of these planes are not the same, but there is no doubt that they all have their own rules to support them.

If Karon wanted to fulfill his own idea like the legendary demon Sacres, it would be nothing short of wishful thinking and tens of millions times more difficult than the law of chaos that Sacres was pursuing.

Only by constructing the entire universe can we probably carry out Kalon's goal of encompassing all laws.

"Wrong, we went in the wrong direction,"

Karon murmured to himself in a low voice. At that moment, he gave up this idea and his consciousness withdrew from the ocean of the origin of the plane back into his body.

"This is the path of the legendary demon Sacres, not my path. So it is fundamentally wrong to build a world of basic laws and then slowly fill it with the path of gathering the masses and pursue the path of laws that accommodates everything."

"Other people's paths are just for reference, you must have your own path."

"I must realize whether there is such a law in the world, a way that contains all laws. If it does not exist, can it be created?"

Kalon raised his huge head, his six dragon horns were like the emperor's crown and the scepter of a real dragon, and countless flashes of information and wisdom flowed in his silent eyes.

"But whether or not this law exists, I must first have the concept and belief of this law before I can move forward along this path. Sacres seeks his own path by gathering the masses."

"As for me, I will use the method of exhaustive enumeration to explore my own future. All my knowledge and background will form the concept of an indefinite existence under the framework of my concept, and then I can form my own law of destiny."

The fangs of the ancestral red dragon were bared, and a ferocious smile began to appear on his cheek.

“Perhaps, the legendary law of destiny is condensed into one’s own rules in this way, so that one can have the power to break through the barriers of fate. What is even more powerful is to create one’s own laws, create one’s own ideas, and form true laws.”

“This may be the difference between a true legend and those heavyweight legends!”

The ancestral red dragon's laughter rose and fell, echoing under the World Tree. The bright scales on its body reflected the radiation waves, just like the rising red sun and the bright avenue.

"I think I have found my way, but how can I condense my own ideas and form substantial concepts? Even though my spirit is so strong, I am still a little confused."

"It seems that no matter which path I take, power is ultimately just a means and a tool. Magic is just my tool. It is a tool for me to see the true nature of the world and myself clearly."

"Just like magic should not be judged by its power, but by the wisdom behind its creation, the wisdom behind the creation of magic is a tool to see the true nature of the world. Ultimately, we must walk the path of recognizing the world and ourselves."

"With infinite wisdom as nourishment, infinite knowledge as a ladder, and countless examples, this is my legendary path." Caron suddenly sighed, "Although the leap to legend is just around the corner and there are traces to follow, the road above legend is endless, and I will always climb."
