Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 718 - 407: Everything Was Arranged by the Granduncle
"You?"
Noah’s eyes showed a playful expression,
"I remember you aren’t the main god of the Elves, right? Can you make such decisions on behalf of the other Elf Gods?"
"Since I can appear here, I’m naturally able to represent them. Besides, it’s just some scattered small tribes, nothing significant."
The Nature Goddess Serena spoke casually, revealing the divine attitude towards the mundane world. They indeed value faith in the worldly realm.
Faith scales down to individual races or individual believers. Even devout followers are insignificant, unable to catch their attention. Only the Chosen Saints can make them glance their way.
Unless there is a massacre of their believers, the divine might cast down power. Otherwise, in regular times, divine intervention in the mundane world is just passing down will, implementing it in the most minimal way.
"Truly cruel, but you are willing to give, yet I don’t want to take."
The Elves might be a decent race, but for Noah, who has now developed the Dragon-man, they’re not even as useful as a scrap. What use does he have for Elves? Especially when all the Elf Gods are present, it’s like laying a trap for himself.
"With your current power, do you still worry about the threats these Elves might bring?"
"I’m not worried about them, but I am worried about you. You actually want to ally with me; this is the funniest joke I’ve heard in a century."
The Dragon-man Monarch’s expression revealed sarcasm. This Golden Dragon Lord, carrying the True Blood of the Ancestral Golden Dragon, was transforming from human to dragon. At this moment, dominated by Noah’s will, its physique and power were reaching an unprecedented peak.
The latent Dragon Blood potential within this body, not yet unleashed, entirely erupted now, making this Dragon-man Monarch’s physique appear more grand and majestic. At a glance, its form seemed like a Golden Dragon standing upright.
"Noah, you misunderstand our relationship. Is there any irreconcilable hatred between us? From where does your hostility towards us originate?"
"Parvati’s birth? But what did we do to her? We bestowed blessings upon her, granting her unparalleled rights and dignity among the purebloods.
We even allowed her to communicate with you in private, passing insider information about the Elf Race to you. We tolerated all this without stopping it."
"Doesn’t this prove our goodwill? We have no intention of opposing the Metallic Dragon Race; we can move towards an alliance."
"No intention to oppose? Alliance?"
Noah exerted great willpower to refrain from laughing out loud.
Not to mention whether the Elf Gods of the past coveted the continuously awakening Titan Bloodline of the Augustus family, but even now, after he has experienced a breach of contract, they propose an alliance again. How naive they are, or do they think he’s naive?
Noah already understood the nature of the divine beings. Regardless of good or evil alignment, they wouldn’t equally respect beings of the Material Realm. If they suddenly humbled themselves, eager for an alliance, it was merely a hidden agenda, intending to exploit.
"It seems you don’t trust us."
"Of course, what do you have that’s worth my trust?"
Noah spoke frankly.
"I can swear by the Senluo Green Sea."
The Senluo Green Sea is one of the Upper Plane, just as the Heavenly Mountain is to the Paladins. In the hearts of Professionals like Druids and Treants, it is the supreme Holy Land.
"What’s the significance?"
Although swearing by an Upper Plane or requesting the Nether River to witness a contract holds some binding force, because the contract’s witnesses don’t possess independent will, when one party, especially a divine being, wishes to breach the contract, no destructive power intervenes for punishment, only slight influences in related aspects, but the impact is mild.
"I don’t believe these contracts, which are no different from waste paper to you. Tell me, what’s your purpose for this alliance? What are you Elf Gods plotting?"
Noah was not opposed to contact or cooperation with divine beings, but if it involved signing contracts or promises, he was not interested.
"Your misunderstanding of us runs too deep. We have no schemes, only the wish to establish good relations with a future Dragon God like you. Perhaps we’ll have many opportunities for cooperation in the future to suppress those evil gods and demons."
Serena’s efforts were futile, as Noah’s gaze remained cold.
"Then you’ll be disappointed, as I have no intention of becoming a Dragon God."
No one believed such an announcement anymore, but Noah still said it.
"No intention of becoming a god?"
Even the Nature Goddess, trying sincerely to win Noah’s trust, couldn’t help but smile when seeing this ancestral dragon, almost in a Divine Descent form, utter such words in its favored one’s incarnation.
This Dragon had too many powers akin to or only attainable by the divine. Such an entity, claiming not to want to become a god to her face.
"Then what do you want to become?"
"Aside from a Dragon God, I only pursue becoming a Dragon King. Why play dumb?"
"You truly have grand ambitions, but trying to become a Dragon King directly is much harder than becoming a Dragon God. Most of your Dragon Clan’s Dragon Kings chose to ascend as gods first and then break free of the divine position."
The Nature Goddess Serena’s eyes showed a different color, and the smile on her face became more genuine,
