Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 207 Nation-Building Plan, Dragon Island Manifests

Dawn City.

After a new round of expansion, Dawn City now has a population of over one million.

The area surrounding the Misty Forest has long since been transformed into sprawling farmland.

The monsters have migrated to the western border of the continent of Calter.

Thus, apart from high-level Saint-rank magical beasts capable of changing their size, very few magical beasts have entered or left Dawn City.

Of course, there are still low-level, non-ranked magical beasts that can be contracted as pets.

Just like the soldiers of Dawn City, the monsters also have unified management and garrisons.

Inside the city lord's mansion, in the backyard where the women were staying.

"Eight years have passed in a flash. The scenes of pioneering back then are still vivid in my mind."

"Who would have thought that in just eight years, I would have achieved such great success?"

In the backyard, York and his wife stood on a terrace.

Looking at the scene in the courtyard where his seven-year-old eldest son and two younger sons and daughters were learning swordsmanship from the knight, he felt a touch of admiration in his eyes.

"I don't know what kind of luck you have had to gain His Majesty's favor."

"Now, not only have they successfully reached the sixth rank, but they have even acquired the identity of a dragon descendant with dragon blood."

"To have such strength in eight years, little do people know, your fate is something that many living beings dare not even dream of."

Lucia's eyes were filled with tenderness, and although she said this, a happy smile was on her face.

York looked at his wife upon hearing this, and spread his hands:
"To be honest, I'm also puzzled. I still don't understand why Your Majesty values ​​me so much."

"But I don't think we need to dwell on the past. At least now, in this world, I may finally be of some use to Your Majesty."

"I just don't know how Your Majesty intends for me to act in this world."

Upon hearing this, Lucia looked slightly puzzled.

"Has Your Majesty remained silent all this time?"

"Yes, that's true. According to Long Ying, Your Majesty seems to be busy helping humans from another world fight against a group of alien civilizations that look like insects."

"A civilization of insects? To be honest, I can't even imagine what it would look like; it's really unbelievable."

York said with a sigh.

Lucia pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:
"It's not hard to imagine; insect-type magical beasts are probably like that."

"However, on the other hand, His Majesty's actions are truly unfathomable. The conflict in the world of Calter had just been settled when He went to another world. Such methods are truly beyond our comprehension."

"It always feels like Your Majesty travels between different worlds as easily as going on a trip."

York simply smiled at this.

"Isn't that easy to understand?"

"Don't forget, Your Majesty once called yourself the God of Space and Exploration."

"And Your Majesty's identity is now completely out in the open. As a great space dragon, it is not surprising that He has been able to explore a large number of different worlds over the past nearly ten thousand years."

"I just don't know what kind of plans Your Majesty is making in these worlds."

"In short, this matter is certainly important, and I only hope that I can catch up with Your Majesty's pace a little bit."

Lucia nodded immediately upon hearing this.

However, at that moment, a streak of light suddenly flashed across the sky and landed abruptly in the courtyard.

"Ok?"

York looked toward the side where the light had fallen, then his expression turned somewhat surprised.

"Crimson Lady? What brings you here?"

The visitor was none other than the Red Dragon, Crimson.

At this moment, Crimson looked solemn and suddenly spoke as he walked toward York.

"You human brat, you still have the leisure to wander around here."

"Do you know that His Majesty has returned to the continent of Auckland?"

Crimson transformed into a woman dressed in bright red, walked up to York, and spoke in a completely impolite tone.

"Hmm? Your Majesty has returned?"

"It's not just that His Majesty has returned; the continent of Auckland is now completely bustling with activity."

Chi Hong walked to the edge of the terrace by herself, picked up a piece of fruit, and threw it into her mouth.

He ate while laughing to himself.

"Lively? But what important things has Your Majesty done this time?"

“That’s a huge deal. I reckon even if I didn’t come to tell you, those humans you’ve placed on the Auckland continent would send back news soon.”

"The God of Truth has been revived!"

Crimson didn't keep them in suspense and immediately spoke directly.

"Truth? The god of truth has been resurrected?!"

At this moment, Lucia, standing on York's side, stared in disbelief and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

York, after a moment of surprise, suddenly became deep in thought.

"Do those bishops know about this?"

"Of course they found out immediately. After all, they are devout believers in the gods, and they felt the gods' resurrection immediately."

"Although this is a world that is so far away, they still have a powerful influence."

"Therefore, when I returned, I saw these bishops leading a group of missionaries hurrying back through the Gate of Truth."

The Gate of Truth, though under York's jurisdiction.

However, this restriction does not apply to certain groups.

First, there are Saint-level magical beasts; second, there are dragons and their descendants; and third, there are the Bishops of Truth.

As three important supporting forces in this world, it is only natural that York would have privileges.

Hearing Crimson say that.

York was truly caught off guard.

Has a deity reappeared on the continent of Auckland?
However, considering that this deity is the god of truth, York felt it was only natural.

After all, the divine object that Lin Ke initially held belonged to this person.

Moreover, the Church of Truth did indeed provide considerable assistance to York.

York believed that the God of Truth should be closer to Linco.

Therefore, it doesn't seem unreasonable that this deity was the first to be resurrected.

"This matter could be a big deal or a small deal, but it shouldn't have much impact on us."

"After all, this matter was undoubtedly orchestrated by His Majesty."

"And the revival of the God of Truth may have also completely ushered in a great era of omens for the revival of the gods."

"Perhaps this is also part of His Majesty's plan."

York pondered to himself.

"That's not wrong."

"Amos thinks so too, perhaps His Majesty feels it's time."

"The revival of the gods is the first step, but Your Majesty may be preparing for something even bigger next."

"Furthermore, faith is absolutely essential for the rapid resurrection of the gods."

“The continent of Auckland once had nearly a hundred gods, with the sea race having the most and the magical beasts the fewest. Leaving aside the other races for now, the resurrection of the remaining fourteen gods among humans may still fall on your shoulders.”

Crimson looked at York with a half-smile.

York understood the meaning of crimson in an instant.

For the gods to revive quickly, a large influx of people and their faith is indispensable.

The human territory on the continent of Auckland is only so big. After more than three thousand years of strife, the total population of the three great empires plus the kingdoms is estimated to be no more than one billion.

What about the continent of Calter?

There are currently over two hundred million surviving humans on the continent of Calter.

With so many people and even more vast lands, as long as development remains stable, it wouldn't take more than fifty years for the population here to triple or even quintuple.

Beyond the mainland, the ocean has even more territory.

If the sea creatures are allowed to come and establish their power, the resurgence of the sea creature gods will be resolved quickly.

Therefore, I thought about it carefully.

York suddenly had a flash of insight.

Perhaps next, His Majesty will use the power of the various races on the continent of Auckland to help York develop this world.

Not to mention that Warcraft already has a territory, orcs, sea creatures, and even elves may enter this world.

In this way, York's initial manpower shortage will indeed be greatly alleviated.

But to be honest, given the current situation, York is not really willing to divide this world among the various races and factions on the continent of Auckland.

After all, with more forces involved, conflicts are bound to arise.

Furthermore, Dawn City now has a large number of 'Chosen Ones' who have joined it. These Chosen Ones help with local government affairs and even the extermination of monsters on the ground.

Even without Warcraft, York felt confident that he could achieve complete stability and steady development of the entire continent within three years.

Furthermore, as a half-dragon, York also has the support of the entire dragon race.

Why rely on outsiders?

While York was quickly pondering these matters, Linko had already arrived on the astral plane of the continent of Carter.

Beyond the astral plane.

Lin Ke looked down at the world of Calter below, his expression mostly one of satisfaction.

Using his authority over the real game, Link can directly access all the data of the world of Calter.

Currently, the entire planet Calter has a surface area of ​​approximately 7.2 million square kilometers.

The combined area of ​​the landmass and the archipelago is approximately 1.45 million square kilometers, which is only about 20% of the world's surface area.

The remaining area is ocean and covered by ice sheets.

Its entire planet's surface area is slightly smaller than the continent of Auckland, but larger than Earth.

This land area of ​​1.45 million square kilometers is enough to support a considerable number of humans.

As Linko's contracted pet, York was naturally aware of everything he was thinking.

But Lin Ke didn't take it seriously.

Auckland's support is still necessary; after all, only in this way can the entire continent of Calter develop and prosper rapidly. However, Linko will only allow church institutions of various races to set up operations there.

Moreover, Lin Ke already had a plan for this world at this moment.

That is, Linco intends to make York a central empire.

Subsequently, religious states of different races and powers were established in various regions of the world.

A so-called theocratic state is a country where religions are united.

In short, to the greatest extent possible, Linko needs the gods of the Auckland continent to recover one after another as soon as possible.

As for the management models of these religious states, Lin Ke already had a clear idea.

That is, the so-called theocracy can be nominally ruled by the Pope, but it is not allowed to have an army or even jurisdiction over various regions. Regardless of race, all races must be under the jurisdiction of the central empire.

What Linko is trying to build in Calter is not just a single human civilization.

It is a country that is full of different races.

And the entire kingdom must revere the dragon race.

As for the inconvenience of the means of communication, could it lead to instability in the rule of the Central Empire?
nonexistent.

Don't forget the industrial foundation left behind by the Troll Empire.

Airships, communication crystals, magic towers—these are all valuable items.

Furthermore, the magical technology obtained from the insectoids can be used to develop the entire continent of Calter.

There is absolutely no need to worry about the inability to effectively centralize power.

Even today, there are still over a hundred demigod trolls in the Astral Plane on the continent of Calter.

These guys are still working hard to become gods, after all, Lin Ke has given them the chance to become new gods.

As an 'ally,' Linko naturally wouldn't ignore the trolls; he'd use every available resource he could.

Therefore, the process of York's founding should begin.

This time, Lin Ke will stay in the world of Calter for some time, and once the continent of Calter is established, everything will be temporarily put to rest.

However, before that, Lin Ke still needs to do one thing.

That means it's time to claim Dragon Island.

------

[Chief Administrator confirms receipt of Dragon Island; receipt in progress]

Beyond the astral plane of the continent of Calter, an invisible surge of power emanated.

Just a moment.

Just outside the astral plane, on the numerous water-like boundary walls that rippled in the pitch-black space.

Suddenly, a huge 'land', elliptical in shape and flat in the upper part, began to slowly emerge from the unknown space above the star plane.

This continent is enormous.

Even in a so-called damaged state.

The part that slowly shifted out was already visible.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the demigod trolls in different locations below the astral plane immediately.

However, the trolls merely watched with curiosity and did not choose to approach.

After all, Lin Ke's terrifying dragon body was right there.

Knowing that this is the powerful ancient life form that signed the contract and is the current ruler of this world.

These trolls naturally maintained an attitude of absolute caution and respect.

Without Lin Ke's summons, they dared not utter a word, nor even rashly go to disturb him.

However, as they watched the enormous 'land' continuously extending from the unknown space, these troll demigods couldn't help but whisper among themselves and discuss among themselves.

"What exactly is this ancient being doing?"

"Where did they get this demiplane from?"

"A demiplane? There aren't many demiplanes this large. This must be a reward from an ancient being at the level of a chief god."

"But it's strange, why would the ancient beings need such a large demiplane? According to the Imperial Records, these ancient beings don't seem to need to follow the path to godhood that we lower beings take, do they?"

"Indeed, ancient beings could ascend to godhood naturally by relying on their innate and terrifying physical strength to fight against everything."

"."

The troll demigods were buzzing with discussion.

Meanwhile, Lin Ke was keeping a close eye on the manifestation of Dragon Island.

The manifestation of Dragon Island went smoothly, without even producing any major anomalies.

The only thing that surprised Lin Ke was that after he received the Dragon Island reward, his spirituality seemed to have begun to connect with Dragon Island very quickly.

Later, when the entire Dragon Island was revealed, Lin Ke finally learned about the current situation of Dragon Island.

[Ancient Magical Creation: Dragon Island.]

[Level: Law-level] (Damaged)

Surface area: Approximately 30 million square kilometers

(It has a diameter of approximately 6,000 kilometers and a circular surface.)
[Introduction: Dragon Island is both an island and a law-level spatial artifact. It is a self-contained space, and its size can vary.]

(Note: Dragon Island is a world unto itself, resembling a divine kingdom or a separate world. Its core is the damaged star core of an active planet, and therefore, its internal space also possesses some of the will and power of Mana.)
【Functions: 1. Dragon Nest; 2. Parasitism; 3. Growth】

(1. Dragon Nest: There is a dragon nest in the center of Dragon Island, which can accelerate the pregnancy and maturation of dragons and ensure the hatching rate of the dragon eggs. It also has the power to solidify the bloodline of dragons.)
(2. Parasitism: Although Dragon Island is a world of its own, the astral energy converted by its controller is not enough to maintain its scale and magical environment. Therefore, Dragon Island can descend into other worlds with magic and parasitize these worlds by relying on its special properties, and be nourished by the magic of these worlds.)
(3. Growth: As a law-level item, the growth of Dragon Island depends on the support of other worlds to slowly increase its size and law strength. At the same time, feeding Dragon Island with star cores from other active worlds can accelerate its growth, and it may even eventually have the ability to transform into a world.)
[Note: This Dragon Island is exclusively for the Chief Administrator. Its laws have been imprinted with the Chief Administrator's will. For details, please have the Chief Administrator comprehend them on their own.]

With his eyes closed, Lin Ke's consciousness had already rapidly swept across the entire Dragon Island.

It must be said that even in its damaged state, Dragon Island is indeed quite large.

If there were no damage, the area would be enormous.

No wonder Amos previously said that Dragon Island is no smaller than the Auckland mainland.

However, looking down at Dragon Island and seeing the devastation on the island, Lin Ke appeared inexplicably solemn.

At this moment, the entire Dragon Island is riddled with potholes and craters.

In some places, there are even areas where coke has crystallized.

Clearly, a terrifying battle had taken place on Dragon Island before.

The terrain of the entire Dragon Island has been completely destroyed.

Even though a long time may have passed and some areas may have grown flowers, trees, and shrubs, almost no trace of civilization can be seen.

As for the so-called Central Dragon Nest?

Nothing was left except for a huge crater.

Don't even think about leaving any dragon eggs or anything like that on the island.

obviously.

In this extremely fierce battle, all the dragons who could escape must have fled.

They took everything they could.

Even Dragon Island itself was essentially abandoned.

However, in the end, it was the real game that "picked it up" in time.

Lin Ke could even imagine the bizarre scene where, just as the Black Flame Creatures were waging war and hunting down the Dragon Clan, Dragon Island was suddenly 'picked up' by the real game.

Those black flame creatures must have gone mad, right?

After all, Dragon Island is quite a treasure.

It can be big or small, forming its own space; it's even quite good for throwing at people.
Not to mention, Dragon Island itself is a world of its own, and it even has the potential to grow into a complete world.

But to become a complete world, it would have to devour the core of a so-called active planet.

Destroying the world? Stealing a star core?

Lin Ke thought it was an exaggeration just by thinking about it.

After all, to seize the Star Core, an individual must first possess the power to completely crush Mana's will.

Mana's will is the idealistic force of an entire planet's ecosystem.

Even the birth of planets is measured in hundreds of millions of years.

Who knows how strong Mana's willpower must have been during this process?

At the very least, Lin Ke's current strength is definitely insufficient to break Mana's will.

And they wanted to break Mana's will.

If we don't address the issue from the outside, then we can only destroy its ecosystem from within.

That is, relying on earthly wars to destroy all living things on earth.

However, Mana's will is not the sum of the forces of the current mortal world; it is the embodiment of the idealistic power rules accumulated since its inception.

Even if the war in the mortal world destroys the entire planet's internal ecosystem, will Mana's will really disappear abruptly?

That's a good question.

But at least for now, even when the Troll Empire conquered the entire world of Calter, they never dared to think of or even do such a thing.

Take the dragons themselves, for example. Didn't they do the same thing on the continent of Auckland?
Whether it's because they don't want to, or because they can't.

In short, it's best to avoid doing things like destroying a planet if possible.

Too extreme.

As for the current state of Dragon Island, it is in a damaged state.

The destroyed dragon's lair can be restored with the power and authority of Dragon Island.

However, before that, he must restore some of the power to Dragon Island.

After all, that's how Lin Ke feels right now.

Dragon Island was severely damaged, and its internal magical environment is now almost nonexistent.

As for the self-contained rules and will of Dragon Island, they are now barely there, giving the impression that it is about to die of old age.

Therefore, Lin Ke's next task became simple.

That is to bring this Dragon Island into the mortal world of the continent of Calter.

Let it rely on the power of parasitism and slowly recover with the magic of the world of Calter.

Having thought of all this, Lin Ke opened his eyes.

The next moment, with a thought, the enormous Dragon Island in front of him suddenly shrank.

It transformed into the shape of a crystal ball and suddenly fell into the claws of Lin Ke's dragon.
