Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 532 The Light at the Summit
"Has the 'bloody calamity' that has plagued us for so long, for hundreds of years, been resolved just like that?"

The mage Dor was somewhat doubtful of life. He looked at the departing Gogmora dragons in the sky and felt that everything he had experienced before was as fleeting as a dream.

However, this brief dream left a deep impression on hundreds of thousands of people in Woking.

Many people therefore admire the heavens and aspire to reach the summit.

Just like the bald warrior beside Dol, he was full of ambition, clenching his fists and saying that he must join the ranks of legendary warriors in order to see a glory that was completely different from what he had seen before.

Some people have become fascinated and curious about the dragon kingdom and civilization, and want to embark on a unique adventure in a distant land.

Just like that longed-for elven archer, except that Dol didn't know why the elves, who always paid attention to their appearance, were so concerned about it.

Because the elven archer beside him was now acting strangely, saying that he saw in the Dragon Emperor a beautiful radiance and perfection like that of a sun elf.

Although the mage Dor once thought that what he was seeing in his trance was a human god-emperor high in the heavens, he only felt that it was his illusion.

The legendary mage Cyril gave his student a meaningful look, then said softly, "Look at these ordinary people in Wojnarowski's City, how insurmountable are all the hardships and difficulties they encounter in your eyes?"

"The difficulties we encounter are nothing more than trivial matters that others could easily resolve with a simple gesture!"

The mage Dor suddenly understood. He looked at his mentor, who had taught him for a time, and said softly, "The holy Emperor Gogmora no longer needs to exert his power against these dragons."

"If the power of the empire and the dragons can make a great evil dragon like Argogun bow down and submit, fearing to refrain from any action, then is that unique kingdom in that distant land truly destined to become a civilization that dominates the endless material planes of space?"

"Just like the legendary era of the ancient times when the magical empire ruled over all living beings in the material world! At least the potential possessed by these noble dragons is perfectly in line with their civilized order and ideology,"

Dol exclaimed, "Once dragons truly cross the threshold of beasts and enter into a true civilized order, the future they have will be far greater than that of any other race in the world."

"If such a dragon horde could truly reach its peak, it would be even more outstanding and powerful than the countless dragons that dominated the skies, land, and sea during the ancient era,"

"After all, in that legendary era, the dragons had no order; they simply overwhelmed all living beings with pure violence and numbers, which was far from being called the rule of the dragons."

"Perhaps only His Majesty Gorgmora, the first dragon to appear in the mortal realm after countless eons, could possess such ability and ambition."

The legendary mage shook his head and said softly, "It's still a long way off."

"You must understand that the world's resources are always finite. Whether it's the dragon race or other races and humanoid civilizations, many of the conflicts and killings between them are due to resources and interests,"

"The strength and progress of one side always comes at the cost of the other. If one side takes more, others will naturally take less. Therefore, others will not be willing to let the distant dragon kingdom grow to that extent."

"Even those civilized races that cannot resist the power and might of the Golden Empire and the Gogmora dragons will inevitably create obstacles and sordid conflicts, bringing endless turmoil and trouble to that country."

"This is also why the empire ruled by His Majesty Gogmora now pursues different foreign policies from those civilizations that only know how to conquer by force."

The mage Dor listened to the legendary mage's words, comparing them with his own teachings and knowledge. After all, as one of Cyril's students, he was destined to one day shoulder the responsibility of leading this world.

"His Majesty Gogmora possesses power that transcends the mundane; it is rare in the world as far as I know,"

The legendary mage looked up at the slowly healing crack in the sky and said softly, "In ancient history, many powerful nations ruled over dozens or even hundreds of planes, and some even ruled over entire star systems."

"The supreme rulers and powerful figures in those mighty nations possess immense power, at least at the level of legendary destiny, or even demigods,"

"Because they possess the power to contend with the gods in the mortal realm, and have authority that is indeed greater than that of the gods, the most powerful of these supreme rulers is called the God-Emperor who rules the world."

The mage Dor's face showed a longing expression, and even his companions who had quietly come over to listen were lost in their fantasies.

I imagine those majestic beings and kings sitting high on their thrones, holding scepters of power and authority, wearing crowns of majesty and dignity, and robes of honor and nobility, looking down upon all living beings, wielding the power and will to govern the world.

They fantasize that powerful beings from legends and stories can determine the life and death of all beings in a world, or even countless worlds, and the rise and fall of civilizations, with just a word or a deed.

Even if mountains and rivers collapse, seas dry up and rocks crumble, it is all within the control of these powerful rulers' wills.

"Even now, in other star systems, there exist majestic beings who control and rule dozens or even hundreds of material planes, extending their power and authority to the entire vast star system."

The legendary mage Cyril recalled the intelligence he had gathered from exchanging ideas with legendary mages and powerful beings from various worlds and regions within the Lipunos Grand Alliance he had created in the starry sky, and spoke softly.

"The universe is so vast that even powerful gods may not be able to fully comprehend it. And such powerful beings, though not present in our world, must certainly exist in the universe."

"Just like the words that His Majesty the Dragon Emperor Gogmora once proclaimed in the Grand League, people today are not necessarily inferior to people of the past. Times are progressing, and the universe is growing. Even the eternal, like gods, need to keep up with the times, or they will be abandoned by the universe."

“Those deities who are silent in the corners of the cosmos are proof of this.”

The legendary mage withdrew his gaze, looked at his students and the young people around him, smiled slightly, and said, "Although I don't know if the current Dragon Emperor, His Majesty Gagmora, who is holy, benevolent, tolerant, and majestic, is comparable to the most powerful god-emperors of ancient history,"

"I don't know if His Majesty Gogmora is currently comparable to the great supreme beings in other star systems, but at least I can be sure that if His Majesty Gogmora can reach the end, his achievements will certainly not be inferior to those of the legendary god emperors of ancient times."

"Because of his beliefs, order, wisdom, and power—these are the reasons he became king!"

"Moreover, the Dragon Emperor is currently young, like the rising sun in the universe, with immense potential for growth!"

The mage Dor couldn't help but ask in a hoarse voice, "Teacher Cyril, are you saying that His Majesty Gogmora will be the God-Emperor who rules over everything in our star field in the future?"

“He could be that right now,”

"They destroyed so many legendary beings in the starry sky, killed the Destiny Yoga, and even killed the world's ruler, Lipnos, thus creating the Star Alliance,"

"At that moment, His Majesty Gogmora already had the qualifications to become that kind of being."

The legendary mage Cyril smiled slightly and then said, "Emperor Goggmora and the Goggmora dragons, as the initiators of dragon civilization, possessed immense potential from birth."

"Because every dragon that joins this dragon empire civilization and integrates into the order of this civilization will bring fame, power, status, and the power that comes with it to the Gogmora dragonflight."

"That is not an illusory power, but a real and tangible power possessed by every dragon in the Gorgmora dragonflight."

"Just as many powerful demigods acquire demigod power in this way, this is the foundation of the Gogmora dragonflight and the ocean of power that can accumulate over time."

Cyril remarked, "Every dragon that integrates into this civilization expands the prestige and influence of the Goggmora dragons, and amplifies their power across the ocean."

"And their growing fame and power will attract even more dragons to join the dragon herd, creating a virtuous cycle that is constantly emerging."

Cyril suddenly said, "I just don't know if the diverse races under the rule of the Golden Empire are also under such influence. If so, the future terror of the Gogmora dragons will exceed my expectations."

"After all, based on my brief investigation in the northern continent of the Golden Empire's homeland, the world of Aikania, some time ago,"

"His Majesty Gogmora did not rashly expand his influence, nor did he use his own and the dragons' power to unify the world of Ekania. Instead, he focused on managing the Empire's homeland, uniting the Empire's thoughts and culture into a cohesive whole."

"Tell me, Dor, if in the future the multi-race groups under the rule of the Golden Empire become as powerful as the Goggmora dragons, will those multi-race groups rise up and try to dominate the leadership of various races in other material world planes?" The mage Dor suddenly paused, a chill running down his spine. His lips moved as he said, "Wouldn't that be insane? His Majesty Goggmora seems rational and restrained. How could he have such a crazy idea to encompass the Goggmora dragons and the order and will of the Golden Empire into countless planes?"

The mage Cyril sighed, "Absolute rationality means absolute madness. Which of those beings who created the order of civilization for their entire race wouldn't believe that their ideals and order are the most correct choice for the world?"

"I am pleased that the human race has not been prejudiced against in the order created by His Majesty Godmora, but has been highly valued because of human wisdom."

"This is also why I am determined to establish a deep cooperative relationship and friendship with that country."

“Every era produces some extraordinary beings, and I’ve put us on this gamble because I’m convinced that Emperor Gogmora will be the pinnacle of this era!”

……

"Such a beautiful land has been reduced to such a stench and disgust, it's truly repulsive, Argogun!"

The adult red dragon Kedelos transformed into a dragon-human form and rode on the back of the mature red dragon Argogon.

The magical pendant worn around Cadilos's thick neck is the reason why this adult red dragon can stably transform into a strong adult man.

Cecilia, the female black dragon who simultaneously commands four young evil dragons, does not need magical artifacts like Kedelos to use dragon transformation magic.

The female black dragon, transformed into a black-clad lady, sat coldly on the back of a young black dragon, gazing with Kadiros at the dragon's nest mountain surrounded by a slowly flowing river resembling a bend in the Bibo River. The chilling intent in her gaze was comparable to the cold breath of the white dragon.

Surrounded by red mountains and green waters, with river bends as blue as jade, this area was originally a place of great scenic beauty. However, the scene that now comes into view of the two true dragons is nothing short of hell.

A dozen or so female dragons, their bellies swollen and deformed, were chained by huge chains around the sides of a cave dug out in the center of the mountain, like hunting dogs.

Some of the strongest young dragons were writhing on the backs of the dozen or so female dragons whose eyes had become numb and who were completely devoid of vitality, emitting muffled roars like wild beasts.

A dozen or so smaller and thinner dragons were lurking on the rocky cliffs surrounding the cave, waiting for the most powerful dragons to unleash their fury before re-entering the fray.

Several of these coiled dragons also began fighting each other for positions, emitting roars as pure as wild beasts.

On the cliffs surrounding this red mountain, the skeletons of young dragons hang from every steep platform and protrusion.

Some of the dragons' bodies hadn't even lost their vitality to the wind and rain; their lifeless vertical pupils gazed at the sky, seemingly telling the story of their fate.

At the bottom of this mountain, there were layers upon layers of white bones, among which the congenitally mutilated remains of dragons were too numerous for Cecilia and Cadillac to count.

That is, at birth, underdeveloped dragons would be tormented to death by the mature red dragon Argorgon over a long period of time.

It is precisely because of such brutality that Argogun possesses a brutal power that is difficult to contend with in this world.

It's a pity that such brutal power was rendered useless in the face of an even stronger opponent, and was quickly reduced to dust.

The intrusion of the two strange giant dragons caused the young dragons clinging to the cliffs and around the caves to turn their heads and roar.

"So it was the Great Argogun,"

A thin, red dragon roared, "The great Argogun must have been ambushed by these two bastards! Let's attack together and tear them to pieces!"

"No, no, no, the male can be torn to pieces, but the female can be kept."

The other male green dragon licked its fangs and let out a ferocious laugh, "I'm tired of these female dragons. This female dragon looks beautiful and is quite novel."

One after another, the evil dragons surrounded this place, and even the strongest dragons that were venting their desires stopped what they were doing and roared.

"Let us go first,"

"No, the great Argogun should come first, and then we will!"

Then these dozen or so of the most powerful dragons drew their ugly spears, flapped their wings, and surrounded Cecilia and Cadelos.

These menacing dragons were not stopped by the mature red dragon Argogon. It seemed that the absence of the intimidating presence of the Gorgorra dragon herd had given the dragon overlord a different thought, and he simply lowered his head and looked down at the ground silently.

"What a bunch of beasts!"

Cecilia said coldly, then took a small golden bell off her wrist.

The small golden bell was gently shaken in the black dragon's hand, drawing upon the immense elemental magic within its body, instantly unleashing a tangible sound wave that swept outwards in all directions.

"Roar……!"

The sudden roar of the dragon carried immense power and majesty, instantly blasting all the surrounding evil dragons from the sky to dust.

One after another, the evil dragons fell to the ground, but from their own throats they let out painful groans like those of chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, pigs, and dogs.

It wasn't that the magical artifacts forged by the Dragon Emperor were insufficient in power for these dragons; it was simply that Cecilia herself wasn't powerful enough and lacked sufficient understanding of advanced complete transformation magic, thus preventing her from fully utilizing the artifact's abilities.

That's why they only temporarily transformed the unsuspecting young dragon souls into chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, pigs, and dogs, instead of completely transforming the dragons' bodies and souls.

"The Dragon Emperor's decree,"

Cecilia coldly stared at the dragons, who no longer knew how to fly, and rebuked them, "Argogun's sins are heinous. They dared to slaughter their own kind, mistreat dragons, and unjustly imprison them as slaves, disregarding the laws of the Empire. Their crimes are unforgivable."

"Argogon will be escorted back to the Empire to be tried. The other dragons will be examined by me and Kedelos. Those who are followers will be punished more severely, while those who are forced to do so can redeem themselves. Those who fuel Argogon's sins will be punished the same as Argogon!"

"If you obey me, you will be spared from suffering; otherwise, under the Dragon Codex, the Dragon Emperor's power of decree will be absolute, and those who resist will be put to death!"

The terrifying roar seemed to awaken the female dragons imprisoned by long chains around Argogun's lair on the mountain platform.

One by one, the female dragons with swollen bellies turned their heads blankly and slowly stretched their necks to look up at the sky.

The once mighty, tyrannical, and invincible red dragon Argorgon lowered his head deeply, with blazing chains binding the entire head of this evil dragon lord, making him look like a prisoner.

Those evil dragons that once vented their fury on them are now like chickens and dogs, waiting to be dispatched on the earth, no longer as high and mighty as they once were.

A female dragon raised her head and looked at Cecilia, who was riding on the black dragon. The bell in the beautiful woman's hand was bright and shining, as conspicuous as a soft and warm lamp lit in the dark night.

"The Dragon Emperor, who is he?"

A glimmer of vitality flickered in the female dragon's dull, numb vertical pupils, like the shimmering light of the bell in Cecilia's hand.
