Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 427 Descendants and Offspring
With the future of the Golden Empire decided by Karon's words, the atmosphere in the royal court hall relaxed.

At Caron's prompting, the party truly began.

The maids, who were already prepared, skillfully carried up vat after vat of fine wine, along with countless rare and exotic foods.

Although eating is now an extremely inefficient way for Charon to obtain nutrition and energy, even though Charon's fangs are capable of instantly crushing the hardest bones in the world.

But true enjoyment in life comes from having hobbies that you can enjoy, rather than simply and boringly pursuing power while abandoning all material and spiritual enjoyment.

Caron's tireless pursuit of the axiom of the permanence of matter was driven by a desire to preserve much enjoyment in his life.

Otherwise, with the knowledge and magic that Charon currently possesses, there are at least a dozen ways to transform a dragon's body into other forms. Even the physical form of the former quantum god Manhattan could be transformed in that direction if Charon were to develop it.

However, in Caron's view, this form was not perfect.

Calon once declared that he is all things, that he is the only one, which not only represents the future path of the legend, but also the future path of his physical body.

In fact, Kalon's current ancestral dragon body already possesses such characteristics.

Tiamat, the Immortal Dragon Queen, became more powerful and possessed a stronger foundation and greater strength by absorbing the authority and divine power of other dragon gods and deities.

Meanwhile, Kalon is also building his own path to becoming the first dragon with countless resources, making it independent and free from possible interference from the five-colored dragon creators.

This is a habit that Caron has had since childhood; he always has a clear plan for his next step, and external things cannot affect his goals.

As the saying goes, the greater the willpower, the greater the power one can exert.

Kalon has now discovered that, with the development of the Golden Empire, some of the ideas he once had, which were simply born out of his desire to avoid the decline of his race, are now giving him unexpectedly powerful feedback.

Bearing such a grand ambition, in a way, brought unparalleled trials and tribulations to Caron's soul.

The trials and tribulations gained in this way are no less than those of the spiritual authority that Charon himself possesses.

It should be understood that the spiritual authority that Kalon once possessed was sufficient to mobilize the powerful domains formed by the people who believed in him within the empire, in order to obtain a small amount of pure spirituality from the spiritual realm to nourish his own spirituality and soul.

By accumulating small contributions, and building a tower from grains of sand, the empire grows stronger day by day. With each increase in the empire's strength, the speed at which Kalon becomes stronger only accelerates.

However, the combination of his own grand ambitions and this powerful method made his mind incredibly strong, even more so than Charon's own tempering of his will.

In particular, Charon has now achieved symbolic spiritual perfection, combining the seven theological virtues with the seven deadly sins, a spiritual combination of darkness and light, which has given Charon's mind an unprecedentedly strong and solid state.

Fortunately, Charon has now completed the initial system construction of his future path. His conceptual true form has gained the potential to evolve into a mythical form, and is also capable of bearing his ever-powerful soul will.

With gradual improvement and refinement, Kalon's future will be bright.

It can be said that even now, when facing the mental spells of gods, if one wants to shake the soul and will of the dragon Karon, even if Karon stands in front of that god without dodging, avoiding, or protecting himself, it depends on how much divine power that god has and how much he is willing to pay.

The superior status of divine power alone is not enough to demonstrate its power in front of Charon.

"Becoming powerful in this way is somewhat similar to the Path of Ambition,"

Karon shook the enormous, barrel-like golden goblet in his hand, sipping the wine brewed by the elves using the water of life as its raw material, and pondered thoughtfully.

Returning to the Empire made Kalon feel very comfortable, so his massive body lay relaxed on the crown, like a mountain standing there.

Humans have a deep attachment to their homeland, and dragons also have a deep attachment to their native land. The world of Aikania has long been the homeland that Kalon cherishes.

"However, the experiments in the dimension where Karl is located need to continue,"

"Once our experiments make progress and achieve the desired results, then when the Golden Empire truly expands across the universe, even if we face an enemy that the entire empire cannot defeat by pooling all its power, we will not be at a loss in the face of annihilation."

"There's still one last chance,"

Kalon's gaze swept over the lively scene in the royal court, where many imperial officials were already raising their glasses in celebration, dreaming of the bright future of the empire after the return of the Dragon Emperor.

The empire's generals and commanders excitedly compared their achievements, thumping their chests and boasting loudly about their victories.

The dragon kings of the empire whispered among themselves. Although Karon had been away from the empire for twenty years, they were already relieved to see him return. Twenty years was not a long time in the eyes of dragons, so although the dragon kings were excited, they were much more restrained than other races.

Only Karon's mates, the green dragon Antajena and the red dragon Kleinaya, frequently turned back, their eyes filled with a provocative fervor that even Karon, the red dragon, found exceptionally intense.

Karon shook his massive head slightly, then turned his expressionless gaze to the group of young imperial infants huddled together.

He wasn't some debauched tyrant, so he couldn't possibly do such a thing in public. He could only subtly avoid the increasingly fiery gaze of the two female dragons, a gaze that seemed capable of devouring a giant dragon.

These fledglings were incredibly energetic, much to the annoyance of the empire's great dragons. Even the most majestic dragon kings had several fledglings with varying scales hanging from their tails.

Just as Charon had bitten the tail of the blue dragon Kalid when he was young, these fledglings were chasing and biting the thick, long, and easily swung tails of the dragon kings.

It is incredibly difficult to reverse or change the innate racial consciousness of a race, so it requires making changes to the greatest extent possible.

The extreme tolerance shown by these dragons in the empire is also to allow the new generation of dragons to experience a kinship atmosphere that is different from that of the original dragon race.

So even the young red dragon Cadilos had to endure the noise of the young dragons in this atmosphere with a helpless expression. Cadilos gently pressed several noisy young dragons to the ground with his two huge dragon claws. He now missed the serious atmosphere of the meetings.

However, many of the young dragons dared not cross the three steps that were not particularly high for the dragons to approach the dragon emperor who was prostrate on his crown.

Even though Kalon appears relaxed now, his enormous size exudes a powerful aura of intimidation and majesty, and every thorn on his body instills fear in the young dragons.

In Kalon's eyes, the third generation of the Empire's nascent race represented the true transformation of the Golden Empire's dragon race, the beginning of their journey towards a civilization that would influence the world. This also marked the opportune moment for Kalon's experiments in Karl's world to begin implementing their findings at the Empire's headquarters.

This is also the fundamental reason why Calon wanted to build a pan-global cultural consciousness sphere with the Golden Empire as its core.

For Caron, every decision he makes now is not made out of thin air, but rather complements each other.

He doesn't even need to think too much; the wisdom derived from brain evolution and the knowledge he has acquired allow him to do this instinctively.

“How can such a beautiful scene be destined to disappear with time?” Caron bared his fangs slightly, looking at the scenes with a hint of greed.

This is when Charon's greedy desires surfaced, and his greed differed somewhat from that of other dragons.

Perhaps it was the soul that came from a certain civilization that gave Kalon the natural habit of keeping a backup plan. Even though the Golden Empire now dominates the northern continent of the world of Ekania, and he has become the recognized Dragon Emperor of the world of Ekania.

Kalon always kept in mind that in the endless world, there might be beings more powerful than himself under the same conditions, and that he was not perfect either.

The benefit of this understanding is that Caron will always be progressing, rather than being stagnant at his current achievements. This is not Caron's humility, but rather a framework for unlimited self-awareness.

However, Kalon suddenly frowned slightly at the fine scales on his forehead, and turned his huge head to look at the Naga princess Garune who had been standing beside him.

Although this beautiful Naga is nominally also Charon's personal maid, she commands half of the Golden Empire's underwater legion, making her a person of great power and influence. Therefore, unlike Charon's head personal maid, she does not have to deal with the social obligations of the royal court.

"Garun, where's Camid? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Caron cared deeply for his favorite younger brother, Camid, who had been his shadow since childhood and was already used to his presence.

The Naga princess poured wine for Karon with her fair arms while gazing up at Karon's massive head with her beautiful eyes. Even though the Naga princess was very tall, she still couldn't reach Karon's forehead as he lay prostrate before her.

"Master, His Majesty Camid sent a message saying he is lost,"

Galun chuckled, "But rest assured, Master, when His Majesty Camid left the Empire, the Empire's Magic Research Department had already prepared several gifts specifically for His Majesty Camid. Hidden beneath every scale on His Majesty Camid's body are magical scrolls from the Empire's mage corps."

"Furthermore, the Imperial Magic Research Department used His Majesty Kamid's dragon blood to create a clone of him, which is currently stored next to Lord Owo of the World Tree. Even if His Majesty Kamid encounters an insurmountable crisis, he can be resurrected from the clone."

Kalon nodded in relief. His favoritism toward the white dragon Camid was well-known, and it was not surprising that the Empire's mage corps had tailored many methods for Camid. After all, for the dragon kings of the Empire, priority was always above all else.

The dragon kings bear the most important responsibilities and enjoy the greatest privileges; this is the foundation for the coexistence of dragons and civilization.

"but,"

The Naga princess suddenly spoke softly, "Master, Lady Silver Dragon Chris Tiana ventured into deep space in search of you. Initially, she would send messages back to the Empire, but as Lady Tiana has traveled further and further, it has been five years since she last sent any news."

Garune's beautiful eyes looked at the master she served. Although this Naga did not know the true relationship between Chris and Karon, she could guess it with her toes.

Let alone dragons, even creatures like the Naga cannot resist the charm of the red dragon's mere appearance. It's just that this red dragon never uses such methods to attract females.

“Hmm, Chris,”

The image of the female silver dragon appeared in Kalon's mind. She possessed a natural feminine charm and holiness, yet also had a neutral and heroic temperament. Her personality was also outstanding; she had her own principles and was not obsessive.

"Don't worry about her, she has ways to protect herself,"

Karon responded in a low voice, then suddenly raised his head and moved closer to Galun, a few sparks flying from between his nostrils.

"Why do I feel like you smell especially good today, Galun? Did you wear some perfume?"

Caron asked with some curiosity.

This smell could even trigger a spontaneous reaction in the bloodline of the Karon, suggesting that the Imperial Mage Corps had created some remarkable gadgets while researching new things.

Two blushes suddenly appeared on the Naga princess's soft face. She shook her head, but her gaze toward Kalon was intense and bold.

"Because the time has come for the blood of the Naga to mature, Master,"

Galun said, "It is precisely because the blood within me is extremely pure, possessing a fraction of the power and potential of the Naga ancestral god, Shirekinnister, that I have become a favored one of the gods..."

Kalon then realized that the Naga princess beside him was in heat.

He quietly withdrew his head, not finding it strange.

Most intelligent humanoid species in the world have the ability to go into heat at any time after reaching maturity, and dragons are no exception.

Almost all living beings, including even the gods who reside high above the stars, cannot escape power and influence, passion and desire, money and fame; there is no vulgar way to put it.

Kalon simply felt that, as he entered the final stages of adolescence, his reproductive instincts, stemming from his dragon bloodline, were gradually growing stronger.

However, Kalon knew that his bloodline might not be able to produce offspring, but fortunately he was not particularly keen on having his own children.

The concept of long-lived species is completely different from that of short-lived species.

Moreover, Kalon can no longer be simply categorized as an immortal species; with the body of an ancestral true dragon, it can survive to an infinitely distant future.

"Tsk, but having two kids to play with isn't out of the question."

Karon stroked his chin with his dragon claws, a thought flashing through his mind.
