Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 592 Three Hundred Years Later, the Lord of the Stars

Those who play with time will inevitably face the backlash of time.

No matter how powerful a being is, if it tries to change the past or the future, the distorted time will bring about a result that the being cannot predict.

This is also why countless powerful legendary mages only dare to travel through the torrent of time and space, and rarely interfere with the past and future time and space.

Even the most powerful beings, like gods, are merely observers and passersby in time and space, not controllers or leaders.

Such powerful magic as reversing time always comes at a price.

Although the price of using such powerful magic is not immediately apparent—the caster will suffer direct backlash and retaliation—this backlash will always arrive quietly in another form.

Regardless of which future trend one observes from their own perspective, that future will collapse into a certainty, and one must react accordingly.

"There's no need to call out the Dragon Emperor's name anymore. I've used chaos magic to open up an uncertain future. The timeline three hundred years from now will flash by in an instant. Unless the Dragon Emperor can connect all the main timelines, he can't save you."

The young legendary mage, Isol, hovered before the massive arcane fortress and spoke in a loud voice.

The boundless elemental magic, like waves rising from a vast ocean, distorted the present world's spacetime under its powerful magic, aiming to push the Iron Dragon Morton back into the future and banish him three hundred years later.

Unfortunately, this young genius mage had somewhat forgotten his teacher's teachings at this moment: spacetime magic is considered a forbidden spell if it interferes with beings far more powerful than himself.

Perhaps it wasn't that Isol had forgotten his teacher's teachings, but rather that Isol misjudged the significance and influence of Morton the Iron Dragon on the Golden Empire, leading to a chain reaction.

But the next moment, as soon as Isol finished speaking, an extremely terrifying change occurred in this world.

An ancient and terrifying aura, carrying boundless power, emanated from behind the time tunnel three hundred years in the future.

A gigantic vertical pupil emerged abruptly from the edge of the twisted folds and cracks in the spacetime tunnel, seemingly possessing an infinitely vast concept, obscuring the entire spacetime tunnel.

This terrifying aura and ancient power terrified all the living beings present.

"Hey, who dares to interfere with the spacetime network woven from the rules of our Imperial Code, attempting to obstruct the smooth flow of past, future, and present?"

A series of dramatic dragon voices echoed from behind the space-time tunnel. The enormous vertical pupil blinked slightly, and then it seemed as if the owner of the vertical pupil had raised his head slightly and moved away from the space-time tunnel, revealing the true face of the owner of the vertical pupil.

In that instant, even the young mage Isol, whose moves were earth-shattering, felt his scalp tingle and his whole body tremble uncontrollably.

The Grus dragons that landed on the earth couldn't help but lie flat on all fours, their heads and necks buried in the soil, not daring to move for fear of disturbing the gaze of this ancient and powerful being.

The monster legion warriors trembled in fear, throwing their shields, swords, and weapons to the ground and collapsing to their knees in a flurry.

Because at the other end of the time-space tunnel is a terrifying black dragon.

The black dragon was enormous and immeasurable. Stars floated and swayed around its body, like jewels adorning its scales.

The countless ancient dragon runes faintly visible on its scales seemed to form thick chains, piercing through these stars and the material world, and merging into the rules of these stars themselves.

The creatures of this world could also vaguely see that, as the black dragon raised its head and moved, a thick, enormous book floated on its huge, black, wavy horns.

It was this enormous, immeasurably thick book that connected the black dragon with the rules of the surrounding stars and material planes, creating an impenetrable spacetime network.

So much so that a slight spacetime distortion three hundred years ago, like a node on the spacetime law network, provided feedback to the prey struggling, allowing the master of the law network to instantly know the root cause of the event.

"How is this possible? How could such terrifying creatures, such terrifying dragons, still exist in the mortal realm?"

The young mage's voice trembled as he cried out in incomprehensible fear.

Even the dragon Grus had a look of shock on his face as he gazed up at the black dragon at the other end of the time-space tunnel.

With a series of clicks, the enormous black dragon seemed to simply extend its claws and gently grasp the entire deep spacetime tunnel, which stretched for thousands of miles and was thousands of meters high, in its palm.

"The past is the past, the present is the present, and the future is the future."

This terrifying, boundless black dragon issued its decree, saying, "Without the past, there is no present; without the present, there is no future."

As the mighty dragon's command fell, the enormous black dragon gripped the entire spacetime passage and began to tremble gently.

Morton, the Iron Dragon King, was also shaken out of the spacetime tunnel by this black dragon, just like beans in a bamboo tube.

This action took only a few breaths, but the appearance of this black dragon from three hundred years in the future alarmed countless legendary powerhouses in the humanoid civilizations of this world.

Powerful energy elemental fluctuations rose and fell, ascending into the sky above this world.

Floating arcane fortresses, separated by vast distances of tens or hundreds of thousands of miles, appeared in space, moving and shifting high in the sky.

One legendary mage after another ascended to the heavens, either observing from afar or attempting to descend upon this wilderness using astral projection magic.

But the Black Dragon King on the other side of the time-space tunnel didn't care about the legends of the present world. This black dragon shook the Iron Dragon Morton off the ground and suddenly raised his head to look into the infinitely distant starry sky.

"He interfered with the future, so I can interfere with the past, but only for a fleeting moment, otherwise I will suffer a backlash from spacetime."

“But, my king, my brother, Karon Gogmora,”

"The stars of the future have been waiting for your arrival,"

“My brother, I have obtained your power and placed myself above time and space,”

They look up to you but remain unmoved...

The enormous spacetime tunnel was crushed by the powerful black dragon's claws at that moment, exploding into pure matter and energy that splashed through space.

The black dragon vanished instantly, leaving only its terrifying voice echoing across the sky.

But before many legendary figures in this world could catch their breath, before they could figure out who the king and the lord of the stars were in the mouth of this terrifying black dragon, an even more terrifying scene was about to unfold.

Even the highest royal power will vanish in history, but the rules of the universe's creation will endure forever with the universe.

The universe only recognizes rules, not the logic of humankind.

At this moment, the rules of the entire world are interacting with an existence infinitely distant.

At that moment, a vast dragon's voice echoed from the boundless realm, shaking the world's mountains and rivers, and causing the stars and moon in the sky to lose their luster.

The vibrations of the rules transformed into invisible tides, sweeping across the entire world.

In this world, all living beings—whether legendary powerhouses transcending the mortal realm, ordinary humans, or wild beasts and magical creatures of the wilderness—whoever possesses intelligence, regardless of their location or distance, can hear that terrifying dragon's voice. "True dragons whose hearts yearn for the dragon race,"

"Ask me for help,"

"No matter where you are!"

This is the voice conveyed by the rules, and also the powerful magic of the rules. As long as one exists in a world governed by rules, nothing can hinder the transmission of this voice.

Accompanied by this dragon language conveyed according to the rules, the creatures of this world can see that the infinitely distant starry sky seems to be infinitely drawn closer by the magic brought by this sound, and the distance of the ends of the earth becomes within reach.

It was a swirling, thick cloud and storm, the enormous eye of which even the legendary powerhouses of this world could not calculate or detect in an instant.

But the eye of the storm, which they could see with the naked eye, was enough to swallow the entire world they lived in.

The vastness of the starry sky is unmatched by any material world or the stars themselves.

But even more striking than the eye of the storm, capable of swallowing the entire world, was the great red dragon with seven heads and ten crowns.

The giant dragon coiled in the eye of the storm, its vertical pupils burning with an ancient and solitary power.

He simply opened his fangs and took a deep breath, swallowing tens of thousands of miles of storm clouds into his belly. Even though the storms of tens of millions of miles could only be transformed into a trace of powerful and ancient force when they entered his body, the storms here were endless.

This caused the seven-headed, ten-crowned red dragon's body to begin to grow and spread violently like a storm. Its red scales gradually turned dull and transparent, and even its body skeleton transformed into an elemental-like body.

Even the terrifying lightning currents generated by the rotation of the storm have become one of the sources of power for this great red dragon to merge into its body.

The sunlight falling from the starry sky also merged into the ever-growing body of this great red dragon, and the infinite light within the universe also became the scales, horns, and muscles of this great red dragon.

This rapid expansion of its size caused countless pools of thunder, spanning tens or even hundreds of miles, to converge around the body of this terrifying red dragon, with countless thunderclaps rumbling and lightning flashing in a chaotic display.

This terrifying fluctuation was like the entire starry sky pouring down on the world, the Milky Way flooding into the world, pressing down on all living beings, surpassing any divine power.

Even the old mage who traveled from the void to stand shoulder to shoulder with Isol, this powerful mage of legendary destiny, felt that the destruction of the world was imminent.

"Is he planning to destroy the world?"

The old mage, holding a short-handled staff and wearing a simple robe, raised his head to the sky and said in a hoarse voice, "Isol, what have you done?"

The young, genius mage was pale and could no longer utter a complete sentence.

He simply mumbled as if in a dream, "How could this be? How could this be?"

"Could it be that the Dragon Emperor has reached the point of locking onto all future timelines? But that's impossible; even a powerful god couldn't do that."

“Wrong, Isol,”

The old master said with a somewhat hesitant tone, "In the eyes of higher-dimensional beings, time and space are like a river with a beginning and an end. For higher-dimensional beings, the past, present, and future can coexist."

"But for beings that have not yet fully ascended to a higher dimension, the past is the past, the present is the present, and the future is the future,"

"Without the past, there is no present; without the experience of the future, there is no future."

“But the spacetime magic you unleashed must have interfered with the Dragon Emperor’s future, which means that if we can’t defeat him now, we won’t be able to defeat him in the future,”

"Because the future we interfere with has a corresponding existence, even if it's just a phantom of spacetime!"

"Even in the future of this main timeline, where the two cannot meet, another possibility of counterattack will arise. The appearance of that Black Dragon King is a case in point!"

"This is also due to the unpredictability and unknowability of the spacetime distortion caused by chaos magic!"

But the old mage's voice was beginning to be drowned out by the roars of dragons echoing throughout the world.

The seven-headed, ten-crowned red dragon, which had swelled its body to be larger than the entire world in an instant, lowered its head and looked towards the northern wasteland within the world barrier.

Any living being that was swept by his gaze, even legendary powerhouses, was filled with unbearable fear.

Because the power of this dragon emperor has begun to pierce through the distance of space and has begun to descend upon this world.

Places in this world that once existed in connection with dragons and contained dragon magic are now resonating simultaneously, roaring for the arrival of the Dragon Emperor's will.

The Grus dragons were horrified to see that in this wasteland, the dragons that once existed had reappeared from the past.

Young and weak, yet powerful and ancient dragons soared and pounced in the sky, fought and battled on the earth, and built nests and rested in the mountains and rivers.

The traces of dragons that have existed in this world for countless ages have been revived by the arrival of the Dragon Emperor's power.

Many of these dragon shadows, roaring and fighting amongst themselves, are even ancestors from the previous generations of the Grus dragons, from the bloodline heritage.

Gross even saw that the howling iron dragon, the majestic dragon that dominated the mountains, was his own dead father.

"Let's celebrate,"

"Pray,"

"Welcome!"

These dragon phantoms emitted a series of booming sounds, forming a vast and powerful force that guided the Dragon Emperor's power to descend upon the world.

boom!
The seven-headed red dragon, larger than the entire world, slowly extended its claws. The stars it had traversed and passed through floated behind it like phantoms, and their starlight merged into the dragon emperor's body, transforming into the power that allowed the dragon emperor to pierce through distant space.

The world was shaken, and countless legendary powerhouses, no longer caring about the spectacle, instantly teleported.

However, Isol and the old mage, who wanted to escape through the void with these legendary figures, also fell from the sky along with them.

Beneath the enormous dragon claws, large enough to cover the entire wilderness, no magic could take effect, nor could any movement of matter or energy occur; only stillness remained, utterly suppressed by that terrifying and supreme will.

boom,
The enormous dragon claw extended a toe and slammed heavily into the arcane fortress controlled by Isol.

This instantaneous impact completely shattered the powerful war machine that this humanoid civilization had spent countless gold coins and hundreds of years to build, turning it into utter nothingness.

"Humans and dragons do not invade each other's territory,"

The enormous red dragon lowered its head, looking down upon all living beings, and slowly said, "This is a small punishment to serve as a warning; do not repeat this mistake in the future!"
