Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 595 Dragon God's Endorsement and Imperial Mindset

"All the dragon races in the world, whether they are the golden dragons and silver dragons within the empire, who are born with powerful spellcasting abilities that surpass those of other dragon species,"

"Whether it's the red dragons represented by the Emperor within the Empire, or the blue dragons led by the Blue Dragon King Doss,"

"No matter how outstanding their talent and bloodline, they cannot easily master dragon transformation in their early stages,"

The Dragon Academy covers a vast area, surpassing the territories ruled by many great nobles and lords.

Even the churches used by the newly emerging dragons in the empire are as spacious as the castles of the great nobles.

The only difference is that the church where these young dragons live is extremely simple, unlike the luxurious and grand style of the dragon's lair and castle in the Imperial Dragon.

This is not the way the empire's dragon elders intend to teach the next generation to live simply and maintain a spirit of regarding money as dirt.

The Dragon Emperor in the Golden Empire is the representative and leader of the dragon hedonists.

Because Caron Gogmora never believed that suffering meant tempering one's spirit and will, and that the two were not contradictory.

There is a profound and practical reason why the Dragon Emperor of the Empire was able to gain the support of many dragons who had not grasped the true essence of dragons.

That's what Caron Gogmora once said: "The greater the responsibility one is willing to bear, the more glorious the life one should enjoy."

This is also one of the driving forces that keeps the Golden Empire constantly exploring and forging ahead, no matter how rich and prosperous it may seem to other countries and civilizations.

The wealthier the empire, the better its social welfare system will be, affecting its upper-level rulers, middle-level officials, and lower-level citizens.

Simply put, the more you earn, the more you spend.

As the empire's archmage, Chief Magic Professor Chris stood before the lectern, carefully considering her words, before looking at the fledgling dragons sitting side by side behind the desks made of ironwood, a specialty of the empire.

These fledgling dragons, who had just hatched from the Imperial Dragon Tomb and Dragon Realm and were only three months old, were taught their first group lesson by Kress herself.

This demonstrates the importance that the great dragons of the Golden Empire placed on the education and inheritance of their descendants.

However, the dragon blood flowing through the bodies of these fledgling dragons, including the dragon's inheritance, was sealed by the World Tree Ohwo with its powerful life force during the long years of incubation.

Only when these fledglings' vitality grows to a sufficiently strong stage, or when their will can break through the magical seal standard set by World Tree Owo and Karon Gogmora, can they access the knowledge passed down within them for countless years and the inheritance imbued with a biased stance.

However, in the eyes of the various Dragon Kings of the Empire, such methods only needed to be maintained for three or four generations. Like many policies prevalent in the Empire, they were time-limited.

Because once these dragons grow up and give birth to their own bloodline offspring, the inheritance they possess will naturally be influenced by the bloodline inheritance passed down by these great ancestors who grew up in the empire.

"But you are different,"

Chris looked at the fledgling dragons, who dared not make a sound, their pink tails dragging wildly on the ground, and said, "You are the successors standing on the shoulders of those dragons who founded the Dragon Empire and created true dragon civilization."

"Therefore, you are born with far superior conditions compared to other dragon ancestors. The dragon transformation spells that can only be fully mastered in youth or even adulthood are the basic spells that you can master in your early dragon stages."

The elderly golden dragon Bayhart and several other elder dragons from the Southern Good Dragon Alliance sat quietly in the back row of the classroom, observing and learning from Kress's teaching.

The dragons that have recently joined the Southern Good Dragon Alliance have already been gradually dispersed according to the Empire's policies.

Young dragons still need to undergo various trials and training, while older dragons do not have as many restrictions.

There are many reasons for this, but the most important one is that it is very difficult for a dragon that has grown to adulthood or even old age to completely change its will and biased stance in just a few years.

Therefore, these elderly dragon elders were all assigned to some less important positions, such as becoming intern professors and mentors in the Dragon Academy.

The dragon kings in the empire all hoped that in this way, the dragon elders in the Southern Good Dragon Alliance could complete their own re-education by teaching others, and gradually wear down the prejudices in the hearts of these dragon elders through the civilized environment of the entire Golden Empire.

The actions and thoughts of these dragon elders were gradually integrated into the torrent of civilization.

Of course, in order to prevent these dragon elders from influencing the younger generation of the empire with certain ideas, the Dragon Academy also established a system of observation and learning.

Each dragon master's class must have at least two teachers in attendance.

The ancient silver dragon, Illusion Fuller, is one of Kress's apprentice mentors.

However, the silver dragon was unaware of the true identity of the old golden dragon, Bayhart, sitting beside it.

Bayuhart seemed too lazy to pay attention to the ancient silver dragon beside him. The silver dragon had tried to talk to him privately several times before, but the old gold dragon had ignored him.

To be honest, Bayuhart looked down on these descendants.

This old dragon discovered that none of the new generation of dragons born among the southern dragons could compare to the second-generation giants of the Golden Empire.

Not to mention the blue dragon Caesar, the leader of the second generation of dragons, the red dragon Nero, and the cloud dragon Derrick, even the future of the green dragon Opes is far stronger than the new generation in the south.

In some ways, Bayohat actually harbored a degree of jealousy towards Tiamat.

Because Bayohart and Tiamat are different, he hopes that his descendants will include kings and strongmen like Charon Gogmora.

Because Bayuhart can treat his bloodline descendants as equals, even if his descendants can stand on the same level as him, this dragon god can still maintain a good cooperative alliance with his descendants.

However, many of the metal dragons under Bayhart's command possessed power comparable to that of demigods, subgods, and weak gods.

Among them are quite a few powerful metallic dragons capable of killing ancient abominations in the astral plane. But he has never seen a descendant with such unpredictable potential as Charon Goggmora.

Therefore, the longer Bayuhart stayed in the Golden Empire, the more he agreed with some of the Dragon Emperor's statements.

The future path of living beings is determined by their wisdom and the height of their spiritual thought.

Otherwise, Karon Gogmora's great red dragon wouldn't have been able to do many things that even dragon gods couldn't do.

In this respect, Bayuhart even had some admiration for the great red dragon.

Because the first true dragon civilization was one that even Bayhart himself acknowledged.

Within the infinite material world of the universe, there also exist so-called Dragon Island and Dragon Valley, which are gathering places for many metal dragons, united together in some kind of structure.

However, this social structure is no different from the tribal system compared to the current empire.

Even the Platinum Dragon God, who was on the side of the Metal Dragons, had to admit this. Bayorth squinted, scanning the sixty-three hatchlings in front of him, of which Metal Dragons made up only one-tenth.

The number of five-colored dragons and secondary dragon species makes up a large part of this class.

The old golden dragon began to calculate how long it would take to achieve a rough balance with the five-colored dragons after the metal dragons from the south joined the empire and fully integrated into it.

This wasn't because Baryohart had any leisure time, but rather because of a plan for the future.

It's important to know that when Karon Gogmora, the Dragon Emperor, first publicly proposed his plan to conquer and rule all the dragon races in this star system within the first millennium at the Dragon Council, he had already discussed it with Bayhart and received his endorsement.

Some beings may wonder why even a powerful and revered platinum dragon god like Bahamut cannot directly issue a divine decree to make all the metallic dragons in the material world directly accept the Dragon Emperor's rule and order.

However, Baryohart thought that only wild goblins from the wilderness could have such a question.

The golden goblins in the Golden Empire are incredibly clever.

From Barry Hart's own perspective, there are simply three points.

One of them is that even the Dragon God's oracle is not omnipotent; power can erase the boundaries of life, but it cannot erase the roots of thought.

If the Platinum Dragon God were to do this, the first to oppose him would be the vast majority of metallic dragon species in the universe.

The second is that it will bring many unpredictable risks.

Although the Dragon God possesses immense power, his alliance with the Dragon Emperor in the mortal realm will inevitably arouse the fear of countless powerful beings.

At that time, both the Golden Empire and Bayuhart will face unimaginable pressure and countless potential enemies.

Even Baryohart himself would be at risk of death in such a situation.

The best outcome for them would probably be like that of the Destroyer Dragon God Karex, where they would be stuffed into a dog hole and sealed away by the gods.

The third is the innate chess-playing instinct of gods, which prevents them from making all their bets before the situation becomes clear.

The secret endorsement will not expose the existence of Bajohart's true form. If the Golden Empire faces an insurmountable risk in the future, he can withdraw at any time without affecting his true form.

However, if this dragon god's attempt, which was born by chance over millions of years, succeeds, then the ecological niche occupied by the metal dragon in the future Golden Empire will be of paramount importance.

Transforming from a god to a king was the bottom line set by the dragon emperor before he cooperated with Kalon Gogmora, and it was also another fundamental reason why the platinum dragon god could not directly issue a divine decree.

If the Platinum Dragon God were to descend to the mortal realm in the future, he would naturally become the former king of the Golden Empire, and would naturally be able to receive the sacrifices and offerings from this dragon kingdom civilization.

Although Tiamat currently has a sordid relationship with the dragon emperor Karon Gogmora, Bayohart is unable to fathom the deepest thoughts and intentions of this great red dragon.

This is what makes it so terrifying: even the Dragon God is wary of this political being and the Dragon Emperor.

Bayhart couldn't be sure whether Tiamat, in the future, would be gradually corrupted by the distorted faith power of the Dragon Emperor due to the overall growth of the five-colored dragon races within the empire, and become another dragon king in the empire.

It should be noted that the actions of Chris Tiana, the silver dragon and consort of the Imperial Emperor, a staunch believer in the Platinum Dragon God, had previously shown signs of this.

It was because of the existence of the silver dragon Chris that Bayuhart began to set his sights on the world of Ekania, within the Golden Empire.

Although this power of faith has a negligible, almost nonexistent, influence on the Dragon God, it is equivalent to giving the Dragon God another option.

Tiamat can be ignored or chosen.

However, Baryohart quickly put his thoughts aside and focused on Chris's lesson.

There is a saying that circulates throughout the universe: although the Goddess of Magic holds the rules of magic, she also needs to learn magic from countless genius mages in the mortal world.

Barry Hart said that this statement is correct: being powerful does not equate to creativity.

Just as he now needs to study the proof of the dragon created by the Imperial Dragon Emperor.

This is something he couldn't do either.

"This lesson is a basic introduction to the path pioneered by the Holy Emperor of the Empire, His Majesty Gogmora, and the Dragons and Sages of the Empire, through the unity of civilization and the dragons,"

Chris extended her finger and tapped lightly on the desk, quieting the fledglings who were excited by the mention of the emperor's name and the reputation of the Dragon's Proof.

"This simple truth, explained by the Dragon King of the Empire and summarized by scholars from the Empire's Ministry of Education, is called the Dragon Flow,"

Chris adjusted the tortoiseshell glasses on her nose; it was the magic of these tortoiseshell glasses that had concealed the true face of this magical dragon god.

Apart from the two small dragon horns growing on either side of her forehead, she looks no different from an ordinary human girl.

“In the early stages, flow is usually accompanied by the ‘dissolution’ of self-awareness. Individuals are no longer disturbed by excessive self-consciousness, but instead devote all their energy and focus to the desired goal or task itself, thereby experiencing a state of unity between body and mind.”

"Under these conditions, you can quickly master the Dragon Transformation spell without being distracted by other factors that could cause other parts of your body to twist and fail during the spell's execution,"

Chris's tone became slightly serious as she looked at the excited young dragons before her and said, "Of course, this flow state isn't actually that difficult for you to achieve. After all, your dragon blood is sealed, and the innate interference has been reduced to a minimum."

"If you can experience this state of flow for the first time within a month of teaching, you will be considered an outstanding potential spiritual master,"

"If you can achieve your first flow state within three months, you will be considered qualified."

Chris coughed and concluded, "Of course, this state of flow isn't just a simple characteristic of the Imperial Dragon's Mark; it's also a cheating method related to time-based spells."

"Ahem, although I haven't reached that level myself yet, I want you to know the power of the Dragon's Proof,"

"In this state, individuals are completely absorbed in their focus and may even forget the passage of time,"

"The dragon kings in the empire amplify and spread this perception to distort the senses of others, achieving an effect similar to time-based magic!"

"If this were Emperor Gogmora, he could make his enemies see days as a second simply by using such methods."

"And once you fully master the flow state, the enhancement to time-related spells is multiplied by dozens of times!"
