Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 221 Imperial Cohesion, A Real Game Dilemma
One hundred beings participated in the Dragon Transformation Ceremony.

Of course, these beings are not limited to humans.

The most common are Warcraft, wyverns, and dragonborn.

Monsters, sea creatures, and human dragonborn—anyone who has chosen to join an agency directly under the Star Empire during its sixty-year history has the potential to become one.

Of course, merit points are also included.

As for how to calculate it, the Star Empire naturally has its own set of standards.

Now, these one hundred beings have all been drawn up into the sky above the temple by some unknown force.

Under the watchful eyes of the fifteen dragon clan 'elders', and before the eyes of billions of imperial citizens in front of their screens, the sky over the central region of the empire suddenly rippled like water.

The crystal-clear light rippled, and between the ripples...

The next moment.

A terrifying giant claw suddenly and slowly emerged from the ripples high in the sky!

The outstretched dragon claw was covered in golden, fiery light, and the moment it appeared, the entire empire's sky seemed to be shrouded in flames.

It's all because this giant claw is just too big!
With just one of its outstretched dragon claws, it had already covered an area of ​​nearly a hundred kilometers in the central region of the empire.

If the flames hadn't been controlled by the ripples of power surrounding the dragon's claws, the entire earth might have been scorched and turned into a lava inferno in that instant.

At this moment, the giant claw appeared.

It's not just ordinary people who can't see it all at a glance; even a Saint-level expert would find it the same.

After all, those fiery dragon claws were simply enormous!

For the people of the empire on the ground, the moment the dragon claw appeared, it was as if the entire sky above the empire was covered by a sea of ​​fire.

Therefore, to know that what appeared was a dragon claw, we still need to rely on images taken by the intelligent machine's orbiting satellites.

In images taken by orbiting satellites.

Flaming dragon claws appeared from the void, and the entire central area of ​​the imperial capital was covered by them!

Looking at this shocking scene before me.

Not to mention ordinary citizens of the empire, even those at the Saint rank were filled with deep awe at this moment.

"How can this be?!!"

"The power of the gods can actually enter the mortal world directly? When did Mana's will become so easy to talk to?"

"Or perhaps, this dragon god's power has already reached the point where it can influence the will of a world?"

At this moment, Adelaide and Sophie stared in shock at the scene before them, feeling as if their worldview and understanding had been shattered.

At the same time, they were even more shocked by the sheer size and terror of what was now just a claw.

This is absolutely not the power of projection, nor is it a manifestation of the massive formation of elemental star energy.

The dragon claws are now real flesh and blood.

Its flesh and blood limbs, with claws that stretch for over a hundred kilometers when spread out, are enormous.

Are you kidding me? ! !
Such a terrifying form has never appeared on the continent of Calter.

Even the previous God of Carth had never displayed such a terrifying form.

Of course, the elementalization of the divine body by the power of star energy is another matter.

However, it is absolutely impossible for a flesh-and-blood body to reach such a level.

"This is the Dragon God that everyone in this empire talks about?"

"If it is the kind of power He is displaying now, then perhaps the appearance of a God-favored one is indeed not a difficult thing."

Adelaide looked at the sea of ​​fire in the sky that seemed about to collapse, and at the dragon's claw projected on the big screen from above, her expression one of inexplicable shock.

At that moment, Sophie's eyes suddenly brightened like never before.

She stared blankly at the sky, and at the same time transmitted her voice:

"So, there is a divine power that can disregard Mana's will and descend to the mortal realm?"

“Even Adelaide, you saw it! So gods can be in such a gigantic form.”

“Dragon God. Dragon God, haha, Adelaide, I’ve suddenly changed my mind.”

Adelaide looked at Sophie in surprise.

At this moment, Sophie completely ignored Adelaide's astonished expression and said passionately:
"Although we have ascended to godhood in our demise, you saw it, Adelaide, didn't you!"

"In our world, where we are half-gods, even if there is a main god, it is absolutely incomparable to this one."

"Moreover, after analyzing this world these days, I suddenly feel that it might be quite good for us to 'hang out' with this so-called Dragon God."

No?

You weren't like this before you came to the capital, were you?

Adelaide recalled Sophie's previous intense hostility towards the alien deities and the Star Empire.

Looking at Sophie's excited and passionate gaze, I couldn't help but sigh.

Right.

That's just Sophie's personality!

These are two worlds that have coexisted for thousands of years; how could they not understand each other?

Sophie is an extremely strong-willed person!
If someone is strong enough, then that woman's attitude will inevitably be different.

Moreover, isn't it a common trait for most people to rely on the powerful and take the opportunity to climb the social ladder?

Adelaide smiled for no apparent reason at this.

Yeah.

In this way, there's no need to worry about this woman causing any trouble.

"So, what did you analyze and conclude?"

"Is it because He seems to have the ability to quickly locate other civilizations in the starry sea?"

"Is it His ability to create a group of highly qualified chosen ones?"

"Or perhaps, at this moment, He seems to be able to ignore the power of Mana's will descending to the mortal world?"

"Or perhaps, it's the terrifying, incomprehensible manifestation of His powerful physical body?"

At this point, Adelaide herself couldn't help but laugh.

Sophie, on the other hand, stared at him with a blank expression.

The meaning was too obvious.

Isn't this enough?
That's enough!

That's definitely enough!!!

Moreover, choosing to completely join the Star Empire, or even submit to the current Dragon God, would actually be the best option for both.

Very simple.

In this world, their original identity was that of saints.

Unlike the other world's half-body, who had to start from the mortal stage step by step.

If they make good use of their current strength, both should be able to quickly make their mark in the Star Empire!

but.

There is some uncertainty regarding whether they will be able to emerge quickly.

After all, judging from the current situation...

The so-called mortal realm of the Star Empire is nothing more than the mortal pasture of this god.

The so-called Dragon Court was actually a subordinate ethnic force directly under its control.

Based on the current Star Empire model.

Mortals need to advance to at least the high-ranking level, or even the saintly level, to have a chance to receive divine favor from the dragon race. And only after receiving divine favor and becoming a true member of the dragon race can such an existence barely catch the eye of this dragon god.
So, what advantages do they have that allow them to surpass those favored by the gods, even the beings from the two worlds that were previously under the Dragon God's command, as native saints?
This is a problem.

It's even a big problem.

So, is it necessary to sell out the world where the other half of my body is located?
Then use this as a pledge of loyalty to gain favor?
Then, what will happen to the world where the other half resides?

Like the continent of Calter, all the gods perished?

Neither of them dared to take such a risk at the moment.

After all, the Dragon God is currently displaying an air of mystery and power.

Who knows if He will discover the connection between the two worlds, the two halves of His body.

It could even cause them to have bad thoughts about them.

Thus, while the two were pondering this, the Dragonborn transformation scenario of the Star Empire had already begun.

Under the enormous dragon claw, they witnessed firsthand how hundreds of beams of light shot into the bodies of those lucky individuals.

Then, under the watchful eyes of countless people.

Those who possess pure dragon blood, or even mortals with sub-dragon or dragon-born blood, experienced an instant surge in their aura.

Some have already begun to break through their rank, while others have begun to rapidly change their form.

These scenes stirred a wave of excitement among the people of the empire.

The wave of cries for divine grace surged higher and higher.

The most captivating part of the Star Empire Celebration quickly came to an end.

Above the sky, the sea of ​​fire and the dragon god disappeared completely within minutes.

Throughout the entire process, the so-called deities did not even appear, nor did they issue any divine pronouncements.

Even so, that's enough!
That's more than enough!
At least, the people of the empire have seen a clear path.

Even the people of the empire already know that it is enough that a terrifying god is protecting the world behind them.

The next part of the celebration was simply a military parade.

The Star Empire's military parade was quite unique.

A combined imperial army of various races, led by three Saint-level warriors, flew across the sky with over ten thousand elite soldiers from various races.

Next up was the performance of the newly established AI Legion.

The Omnic Legion's performance was the most exaggerated.

After all, in addition to the large array of drones in the Imperial Sky, the performance of the Mechanized Legion also projected a magnificent scene of more than a hundred starships traveling through the starry sea under the control of a large number of mid- to low-ranking soldiers!

Eight years!!!

Only eight years.

The eighty-six theocracys of the continent of Calter were not even clear about the concept of AI, or even its capabilities.

And so it happened.

All the citizens of the Empire finally learned what an Omnic was.

The fleet of the Starship Route?
Isn't the astral plane the domain of the gods?
The Empire is actually allowed to enter the Astral Plane? Even low- and mid-level beings are allowed to travel through the stars in so-called starships?
At this moment, the atmosphere within the empire was completely ignited.

The Empire of Stars is finally starting to live up to its name.

What kind of Star Empire is it if it can't roam the stars?
This grand imperial celebration was undoubtedly unprecedentedly enthusiastic and successful.

A single celebration was enough to completely unite the various races of the entire continent of Calter.

All of this is due to the existence of the Dragon God, or because the Central Empire has finally shown the extraordinary martial virtue that it should possess!

And while the empire's celebrations were still ongoing.

Right now, above the astral plane.

The hundred or so demigods who had originally remained in this world were now all watching what was happening before their eyes.

More than sixty years have passed, and there has been both good and bad news among the troll demigods.

The good news is that a new god has finally been successfully ascended from among the troll demigods.

The bad news is that only one person has successfully ascended to godhood so far, while more than ten troll demigods have perished in the process.

The path to godhood is clearly not easy.

But none of these trolls will give up, after all, becoming a god is their long-cherished wish.

If they weren't mentally strong, they wouldn't have gotten to where they are today.

Therefore, these troll demigods are still actively vying for the chance to ascend to godhood.

Meanwhile, throughout this process, they also kept a close eye on the development of the Earthly Realm of the Star Empire.

Therefore, they have been watching the changes in the Star Empire over the years.

"This civilization is really lucky."

"Not to mention that the gods who protected them were powerful enough, they even gained another civilization in just sixty years."

"Even if this civilization is one without magic, the level of technology among its mortals is clearly commendable!"

"Compared to the world we're almost completely conquering, this might be a little worse, but it shouldn't be that much worse, right?"

One demigod spoke, and the other demigod said:
"It's hard to say. After all, in a world without magic, no matter how advanced the technology is, it would be no match for the gods without the help of magic."

"The world we are attacking with all our might is not only low in magic, but also has the means to mass-produce saints or even demigods, making it obviously more troublesome."

"Pure non-magic metal industrial technology is too obviously weak against gods, but its potential is also infinite. After all, as long as they are given an environment with the will of Mana, they will eventually develop along the same path: magic industry."

"Only magical industry is the ultimate path for the astral plane, whether for gods or mortals. I have a feeling that the strength of industry will eventually allow us to create things with power comparable to that of gods, and the world we are conquering is a good example."

"Furthermore, I suspect that some powerful civilizations in the astral plane, even those with no magic and advanced technology, may possess power comparable to that of gods."

"Is that even a question? Since mortals can use earthly energy to build so-called starships, it's not impossible that some civilizations could eventually use the ubiquitous astral energy to build even more powerful weapons."

"It's best if we don't encounter this kind of civilization right now."

"Even if our Tobien Empire conquers that world this time, it will still need some time to recuperate."

"And right now, this Star Empire, that Dragon God, I think he'll still be actively exploring the worlds of other civilizations, right?"

"That's obvious. The gods and mortals of this world are booming right now. As long as that person isn't stupid, he'll definitely be actively expanding his territory in the astral realm."

"But everything is fine, at least this one is an ally of ours."

"Moreover, as time goes on, the alliance between our two civilizations will definitely become closer and closer, which is a good thing."

"Even if the two civilizations eventually clash or even go to war, regardless of the outcome, everyone will have some semblance of goodwill. At least the extermination of a race will definitely not happen, and the fusion of civilizations is also a good path."

"Be careful what you say; this is not something we should discuss."

"Alright, alright, we've had enough of the excitement. Everyone should hurry up and strive to become gods. Without becoming gods, we will remain ants and will never be able to participate in such a great event."

"."

Just as the group of troll demigods were discussing, and while two inconspicuous saint-level beings on the ground were still in shock, not far from the world of Kalter...

That is, on the surface of the sun.

A colossal dragon, seemingly beyond belief, was now experiencing a brief headache.

"Eight years have passed, and in the end, only 0.01% of the rules have been eroded?"

"And even further erosion of the rules is no longer possible?"

"Hmm? It takes a lot of energy to maintain this level of erosion?"

"Is this the end of real-life games?"

Lin Ke looked helplessly at the message notification that suddenly popped up in the real game, his expression somewhat speechless.

Fortunately, this 0.01 rule erosion level at least allows the real game to do something.

Otherwise, Lin Ke wouldn't know what to do next.
