Chapter 379: Chapter 313: Power Form Human Shape

As time quietly passed, the atmosphere of the banquet in the snowy fortress courtyard continued to heat up.

A large number of lower-level followers, like busy worker ants, cautiously navigated between the massive, imposing Giant Dragons and the powerful monster leaders, offering giant bowls filled with meat soup, whole roasted beasts sizzling over the fire, and barrels of fragrant wine.

After arranging a sparring session with the Red Iron Dragon, Alberto, in his human form, cast aside the majesty and aloofness of the Golden Dragon and once again began to dance spontaneously in the center of the venue.

His golden hair flew, his movements carefree and uninhibited.

Galos’s massive body lay prone on a stone platform covered with thick animal skins, his head slightly lowered.

He ate slowly and leisurely, his sharp gaze sweeping across the entire scene, enjoying the long-lost noise and celebratory atmosphere. Then he slightly turned his head to look at the Iron Dragon beside him.

"Solrog, what important events have happened in the outside world during my slumber?"

The deep voice cut through the noise and reached the ears of the Iron Dragon.

The Iron Dragon, with a unique love for sweets, had just downed a large jug of sweet honey syrup.

He was still savoring the taste, extending his rough tongue to lick the crystalline sugar residue on the edge of his jaw.

"A lot,"

said the Iron Dragon after hearing Galos’s words. "A lot of noteworthy things have happened." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"The changes in these past decades have far exceeded our expectations."

"Not only has the internal strife predicted within the Federation intensified, but the entire Bernardo Planet seems to have entered an era of upheaval and unrest."

Galos nodded slightly, signaling for him to continue: "Explain."

The Iron Dragon remained silent for a moment, organizing and integrating the information collected from merchant caravans, adventurers from Ximu Town, and other sources like Gordon.

"First, the Elf Empire of Nausier."

After careful consideration of his words, the Iron Dragon said, "They claim to have discovered the existence of other living planets during their exploration of the stars and have begun initial diplomatic contact."

This first matter was extraordinary, causing Galos to give a slight glance aside.

The Bernardo Planet is not the only empire.

They maintain a fragile and delicate peace with each other, yet intense competition and conflict occur secretly at all times, and among all the empires, it’s the Elf Empire of Nausier that vaguely occupies a hegemonic position with its comprehensive national power and level of civilization.

They have almost always been at the forefront of the era, and the exploration of the stars was first initiated by them.

It is important to clarify here that star exploration still pertains to internal exploration of the Material Realm, not cross-plane exploration.

The scale of different Material Realms varies vastly, some as small as a floating continent, while larger ones could be a planet, a star system, or even a whole universe.

The sum of all these Material Realms constitutes the vast main Material Plane.

Therefore, exploration within the Material Realm, cross-Material Realm exploration, and cross-plane exploration are three entirely different concepts, each with its methods and challenges.

The discovery of other living planets by the Nausier Empire indicates that the Material Realm in which the Bernardo Planet is located is not an isolated planetary world. Its vastness far surpasses imagination, containing more unknown resources and endless potential awaiting exploration.

Similarly, it also harbors other unknown dangers.

Next, Iron Dragon Solrog shifted the topic to the Beastman Empire of Kantuom.

They plot to completely conquer the entire Celestia Continent with iron and blood, fully integrating it into the territory of Kantuom.

This news did not surprise Galos too much.

The Dragon’s Legacy knowledge repository has clear records of the Kantuom Empire.

It is a war machine where divine power and royal power unite at a high level, with a national church named [Tusk Holy Court], fervently worshipping the Beastman race’s primary god.

The Ever Awake, the Watcher—Ge Wush.

A deity symbolizing frenzy, battle, and conquest!

The core doctrine of the Tusk Holy Court is to initiate endless holy wars against the entire world.

[Kill all enemies who dare to resist, enslave all conquered beings, only through eternal war and complete destruction can the Beastmen acquire broader living space and gain the eternal favor of the Divine Spirit.]

Such an extremely warlike empire.

After defeating the most formidable opponent, the Giant Race, the desire to remove other obstacles and completely conquer the Celestia Continent is almost an inevitable choice.

But this is destined to be a long and unpredictable process.

Other empires, especially the Elf Empire, with which the Beastmen have deep grievances, will certainly try everything possible to obstruct and will never allow the Beastman Empire’s war flag to fly over every inch of Celestia.

However, the information Iron Dragon Solrog revealed next was completely beyond Galos’s expectations.

All adult Metal Dragons collectively returned to the Dragon Domain to conduct an ancient and grand ceremony, attempting to assist the top-tier Dragon Race powerhouse [Heaven-Covering Wings] to break through the limits of life and step into the Immortal Realm.

This critical ceremony, however, was suddenly attacked by the Five-Colored Dragons.

The attacker was the Ancient Dragon—Heatherfield, notorious as [The End of the Cold Winter: The White Dragon of Ten Thousand Laws].

Galos knew this dragon.

For her notorious reputation and legendary deeds, are also clearly imprinted in the Dragon’s Legacy,
