Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 548 Transformation into a God and Become a King
"The goal is to cross the swamp, not to fight every single crocodile,"

The ancient silver dragon, Illusion Fuller, murmured to himself, uttering another popular philosophical saying that shared the same meaning as the proverb of the True Dragon Emperor.

Not all wars are worth starting, and not all problems need to be solved.

True strength lies in clearly knowing your goal, thereby avoiding pitfalls along the way that are irrelevant to your ultimate objective.

The ancient silver dragon sensed that the meaning expressed by the dragon sitting high on the emperor's crown was not so simple.

Because this Dragon Royal Court is now completely filled with the will of the Dragon Emperor, just like the vast aura of the first generation of dragons and the majesty of the imperial emperor, which is all-pervasive.

The ancient silver dragon lowered its head and remained silent for a long time before slowly raising its head to look at the dragon emperor who was calmly looking down at it.

At this point, the Dragon Emperor was probably beyond the comprehension of ordinary beings. Even the ancient silver dragons were no different from ordinary creatures in front of such an existence as the Dragon Emperor.

Even when Eren Fuller was serious, he couldn't make out the face of the Dragon Emperor. The other party looked like a dragon, and also like a human, but at this moment, to Eren Fuller, He looked more like a god.

"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, have you never considered the benevolent dragons of the South as enemies or targets?"

"Illum Fuller whispered, the ancient dragon's voice was deep, not as thunderous as the young dragon's roar, but it echoed back and forth in the Dragon Court just as loudly.

Caron Gogmora raised his head, his massive head as imposing and slightly forward as a mountain. The thick, fine scales on his head and cheeks were now clearly visible, yet they were still shrouded in layers of halo light.

The halo emanating from the body of this ten-crowned red dragon was as vast and surging as the divine light that conceals the faces of gods when they descend to earth.

"Dragons have never been my enemies, nor have any other people been my enemies. I only have goals, not enemies."

Kalon Gogmora chuckled softly, the deep, resonant laughter of the great red dragon softening the solemn atmosphere of the entire Dragon Court like a gentle spring breeze.

One after another, dragon kings, great dragons, and countless young dragons pierced through the air with their cold, piercing gazes, and a solemn atmosphere of dragon majesty rose up, originating from the ancient silver dragon and ending with the true dragon emperor.

The dragon kings withdrew their fierce gazes, the great dragons retracted their wings and claws that were about to pounce, and the fledglings slowly closed their bared fangs.

Although the dragons remained hostile toward the ancient silver dragon Illum Fuller, Prince Adrian and the other envoys from the kingdoms were finally able to move slightly and wipe the sweat from their brows and crotches.

“Eren Fuller, if you could set aside your age-old nature and prejudices based on bloodline, and truly understand the Gogmora dragonflight and the Golden Empire, you would know that dragons have always been my kin in my eyes,”

Karon Gogmora's dragon voice was like a magical decree that could shake the soul. When the dragon emperor summoned the ancient golden dragons, everyone and every dragon felt fear.

But when the Dragon Emperor spoke softly, it made both people and dragons instantly feel the Emperor's benevolence.

"From the moment they are born, dragons possess innate and unparalleled extraordinary talents,"

"Dragons shouldn't be like this; they should be something else entirely,"

Kalon chuckled, “While your southern metal dragons and gem dragons are far superior to the five-colored dragons and many other dragon species, they are still a very, very long way from the goal I envision.”

"Instead of letting all other creatures define the dragon race, I would rather reshape the dragons of the world."

“You metal dragons from the south should not be confined to a small corner. You have a great role in my plan, to spread the light from one lamp to thousands of lamps. The process is fraught with difficulties and dangers.”

"So don't let me down."

The ancient silver dragon, Illum Fuller, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. His humanoid body, which was covered by clothing, was instantly covered with dense, dark silver scales.

It was the oppressive feeling emanating from the Dragon Emperor's gentle and calm words that almost caused the ancient silver dragon to lose its transformation spell and be forced to reveal its true dragon form.

The key information mentioned in the Dragon Emperor's words made even the ancient dragon, Illum Fuller, tremble with fear.

"If it weren't for the message from a dragon elder I respect, delivered by the sighing north wind from the astral plane, perhaps the decision I and the dragons made today would not be the same, giving you another chance to choose."

The ancient silver dragon knew who the Dragon Emperor was referring to—the elder from the Astral Plane whom even this red dragon had to respect. It was an obvious hint.

What Illusion Fuller could not have imagined was that the Dragon Emperor was now involved in a game of power between people of a higher level and higher status.

Moreover, he had already seen that the true dragon emperor, whose head was now only visible as a scale or claw, was now partially revealed.

The bulging muscles on the Dragon Emperor's forepaws resembled marks sculpted by the laws of power, causing even the ancient silver dragon some concern about whether its head could withstand the Dragon Emperor's massive fists and claws.

Back when it was at its southern base, this ancient silver dragon had once considered comparing itself to the true dragon emperor, but now it realized how much courage it had once possessed.

Now that things had come to this, the ancient silver dragon dared not utter another word; it simply lowered its head to pay homage to the dragon on the crown.

"I can only speak for myself, in the name of Illusion Fuller, to uphold the Dragon Codex!"

……

"The transformation from god to king is a clue I discovered after observing this dragon horde for a long time. It reflects the attitude of the dragon kings and great dragons in the Gogmora dragon horde towards all the dragon gods,"

The old golden dragon, Bayuhart, narrowed his eyes slightly, withdrew his gaze from the direction of the Dragon King's Court, and turned to speak to the being of equal rank, Archmage Kress.

There are many realms in the world that even the gods cannot fathom, such as the abyss and hell, where the demon lords and devil dukes reside.

Among these demon lords and devil dukes, many possessed power comparable to that of mighty gods, while others were capable of being hunted and slaughtered by legends.

However, it is not an easy task for a powerful high god to covet the territories of these demon lords and dukes of hell.

The Golden Empire's current existence is not much different from the core territories that the demon lords and dukes of hell have long managed.

As the imperial power grew stronger, even though Bayuhart and Grandmaster of Magic Kress were in the Golden Empire, it was impossible for them to know everything without the permission of the Dragon Emperor and the dragons, or without integrating into the order of the Golden Empire.

After all, neither Bayuhart nor Kress were walking in the mortal world in their true forms, and the power they possessed at this moment was extremely ordinary. Even the gods and saints who descended to earth far surpassed them at this moment.

Even with their extraordinary abilities, these two individuals could never witness the many events unfolding within the Dragon King's court. This was because it was the core domain of the Dragon Emperor, and compared to the demon lords of the abyss and the devil dukes of hell, the True Dragon Emperor Kalon Gogmora was far superior.

It can only be said that the Dragon Emperor is not at the strongest level, but that's all we can say.

Anyone who dares to say that the True Dragon Emperor is still weak will likely be so angry that Prince Nur's head will be resurrected.

Therefore, both Chris and Bayhart knew that the other had a certain connection with the Dragon Emperor Charon Gogmora.

Therefore, the conversations between the two dragons, who were hiding their heads, were no longer so convoluted.

"If you want to get closer to your goals, or change things and achieve results, you must first accept certain realities."

Bayuhart squinted and smiled, "It's not shameful, oh, it's not shameful for a dragon."

"Although Tiamat's descendants became emperors who ruled over many dragons, the firstborn blood of this dragon emperor will become my favored student,"

"As for whether my student will become the emperor who rules this dragon empire in the future, that's not the point."

"So that's what you were planning, huh," Chris nodded thoughtfully.

Chris knew the difference between Bayohart and Tiamat, the mother dragon, lay in the inherent nature and style of the two dragon gods.

For his own purposes, and for the sake of his bloodline—the metal dragon—so that he could fulfill his nature and integrate into the ranks of the gods of justice and goodness.

It should be noted that although Baalhart's true form is known as the Lord of Good Dragons, this platinum dragon king, like Tiamat, was once hated by the gods and called the enemy of the gods.

Tiamat is chosen because of her evil and chaotic nature, while Bayhart is chosen because of his true fighting prowess.

What this golden dragon said in the young children's classroom was not boasting; it was something that truly happened long ago, and only an equally ancient being like Kress could know it.

The two dragon gods are considered to be of similar strength by many beings, but the individual combat power of the Lord of the North Wind far surpasses that of the former evil dragon god Tiamat.

This is also why Tiamat, the evil dragon god, has tirelessly pursued the murder of other dragon gods and the absorption of their positions and divine authority throughout the long years in order to expand her own power.

Even after Tiamat devoured the former three-tailed dragon and Garugsingo, one of the amorphous dragons, Bahamut, the Lord of the North Wind, still maintained a level of power comparable to that of the evil dragon god.

Chris had no idea just how powerful Bayhart's true form was.

Chris only knew that if the other party descended into the mortal realm with a divine avatar, there was a high probability that they would not be able to defeat her own divine avatar.

However, if the two were to fight each other in their true forms, Kress herself would likely die very quickly and tragically.

The Dragon God is first and foremost a dragon, and secondly a god.

Even with such power, the Lord of the North Wind still wanted to merge with the gods of goodness and justice, just as Bayhart had mentioned in their previous conversation.

The general trend cannot be changed, but we can do our best to address minor issues.

This shows that the wisdom bestowed upon the Lord of the North Wind by his innate nature far surpasses that of Tiamat, the goddess of evil dragons, at least according to Kress.

But Chris doesn't think Tiamat is stupid; it's just that different personalities lead to different behaviors.

"So, it was you who orchestrated the bloodline of the silver dragon Chris Tiana in bearing offspring for Gogmora. Truly, old people are often cunning, and dragons are often treacherous,"

Chris smiled as she looked at Bayhart. This golden dragon was, most of the time, a respectable and trustworthy creature for any race.

Bayhart may use special means for certain purposes, but at least for the most part, this dragon god is more tolerant than many righteous gods.

"What do you mean I'm secretly sabotaging things?"

Bayuhart retorted, "Your choice of words is too careless. If the dragons here hear this, they might banish me from the Empire. Wouldn't that mean I came all this way for nothing?"

"I merely responded to the prayers and wishes of that kind little girl, Chris, granting her the favor she deserved, elevating her bloodline, and making Chris qualified and powerful enough to lead many dragons in this empire,"

Bayhart casually remarked, "To be honest, I never expected Chris would actually be able to bear a bloodline offspring for Gogmora. After all, although an ancestral silver dragon is extremely outstanding in the mortal world, it is still far, far inferior to the status of the first generation of dragons."

“Sometimes I think that perhaps this is not my achievement, but rather the choice made by Gogmora.”

Kress doesn't understand politics, even though she is a dragon goddess.

As she had told the ancient crystal dragon Oleg before, Kress only came to the Empire's Dragon Academy to serve as a magic grandmaster because she had some unique understanding of magic.

A questioning look appeared in Chris's eyes, and she raised her voice slightly as she asked, "Gorgorla's choice?"

Bayuhart sighed meaningfully, "Although I have only traveled in the world of Ekania for a few days, everywhere I went, every living being I encountered, regardless of their race..."

"Whenever I ask them what they think of the Dragon Emperor of the Golden Empire, these creatures say that he is the natural king among dragons, destined to rule the dragons."

"But the word 'emperor' is inherently inseparable from political maneuvering,"

The golden dragon turned its gaze to the majestic Dragon King's Court nestled among towering mountains, and it seemed that it could already see the countless dragons gathered there.

"There are just too many chromatic dragons in the Gogmora Dragonflight and the Golden Empire. Whether they are the mature dragons or the fledglings growing up, the number of chromatic dragons has become the mainstream in this empire and dragonflight."

"Those five-colored dragons, under the tutelage of Gorgmora, are too outstanding. So outstanding that those dragons are able to overcome and surpass the gap in innate talent through their acquired growth."

"Therefore I strongly suspect that Chris was merely a choice made by Emperor Gogmora!"
