Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 721 - 408: The Ambition of Strong Divine Power (Part 2)
If even these conditions cannot be met, for example, if there is no complete ecological environment, or if no wisdom species have emerged, it will be defined as a barbaric world or a worthless incomplete plane.
Above small worlds are medium planes that can accommodate multiple wisdom species and sustain polytheistic beliefs. The plane where Noah resides is a medium world, but even among medium worlds, it is considered outstanding, the tallest among the short.
As for the great world, it truly is one in billions, a super plane not only possessing the most perfect rules but also with extremely astonishing carrying capacity.
According to Noah’s search in the ancestral dragon species’ heritage memory, he found that true great worlds do not set limits on the combat power of true god levels; even divine bodies can freely move within them.
However, the number of great worlds is extremely scarce; there are more small worlds like grains of sand in the Ganges and one-in-ten-thousand medium planes.
"The exotic realm conquest cannot stop, and neither can domestic development be slackened!"
Noah knows that without having completely conquered the inherent plane, attacking different planes has a hint of overreaching, but compared to conquering medium planes first, it is more prudent to capture a few small planes beforehand.
The faith foundation of many weak deities is in small planes, because of their limited size and single wisdom species, maintaining a single deity’s faith is very easy. More importantly, there is no other deity recklessly competing, which can maintain the purity of faith.
In comparison, the faith competition in medium planes is much fiercer. Even with strong divine power, it’s difficult to maintain the purity of a single divine faith and difficult to monopolize, only able to share with other deities.
"The number of Dragon-men is still too small. Should we issue administrative orders regarding reproduction policies to encourage Dragon-men to have more children?"
After successive fires of war, even though many vassals and slaves were recruited on various fronts, the pressure from the lack of Dragon-men soldiers was still sensed by Noah.
His initial foundation was only so large. Although the iteration updates of the cultivation method and the support of goblin machinery allowed Dragon-men to allocate production resources more reasonably and create more population.
However, his territory was only so large. Even when he exhausted all possibilities, the ceiling was still there. To this day, even the newly born population from overseas colonies was counted, and the number of Dragon-men had not exceeded ten million.
This amount of population, given the situation Noah was facing, fighting three fronts in domain external wars while also expanding domestically, was simply stretched to the limit.
That’s based on the high basic quality of Dragon-men; as long as they are adults, male or female, with some training, they can join the army. Although they cannot enter the formal battle group, they can join the auxiliary army and play their role.
"It’s completely unnecessary if basic welfare is achieved, why wouldn’t anyone have children? There’s no need to impose childbirth at all!"
The thought that had just sprouted was snuffed out by Noah in an instant. He did not wish to impose childbirth stress on his citizens through administrative orders. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Not to mention that these Dragon-men are influenced by his dragonification, having Dragon Clan bloodline, and have an extreme inherent desire for reproduction and propagation, even without it, as ordinary wisdom species, as humans, how could they not wish for a prosperous offspring?
As long as there are sufficiently spacious and bright houses, no need to worry about necessities of life, and the children can enjoy educational benefits above the standard line after birth, how could anyone not have children?
Only a fool wouldn’t procreate.
Under suitable environmental conditions, what creature would suppress their reproductive instincts?
"Hmm, still think of ways to improve social basic welfare, enhance educational and medical systems, this will also be a disguised encouragement for births."
Noah made a final decision. He ultimately did not wish to use administrative orders to interfere with the reproductive will of his citizens but prepared to focus on improving the environment of the Holy Dragon Land.
However, this will undoubtedly be a long-term project. Even if effort is made, no significant results can be seen within three to five years, only ten to twenty can initiate, and a century can form a grand trend.
When Noah was in Elisium, coordinating everything, the elves who were integrated into the Holy Dragon Golden Order through war had already arrived in Elisium City.
The atmosphere of multi-ethnic integration and harmonious coexistence had begun to take shape in the Holy Dragon Land. Noah rarely imposed bans on species, prohibiting certain species from entering his territory.
Of course, there were indeed some exceptions, such as the heart stealers, Koa mermen, Sahwa mermen, identified as evil species, were not allowed to appear unless in the form of corpses.
Under normal circumstances, any wisdom species recognized by the Metallic Dragon Race could come and go, though elves were less commonly seen in Noah’s territory, but not non-existent. After two wars, the number of elves appearing in Elisium City increased significantly.
Noah did not care about these elves choosing to settle in the Elisium layer, just as he did not care about other races.
In the dragonification domain, for those with bloodline lower than his Holy Dragon, the ultimate result was only assimilation; even though he can temporarily resist himself, his descendants, as long as they do not escape the range of the dragonification domain, ultimately cannot escape dragonification.
"An incredible bloodline power, I almost believe he can ascend to become the Dragon King on his own!"
"Is it that easy? How many Dragon Kings have there been in the Dragon Clan’s history, and how many Dragon Gods?"
Elves, with hoods hiding their hair and pointed ears, mingled in the crowded streets, occasionally raising their heads with looks of amazement and curiosity.
"Even in the history of the Dragon Clan, you can hardly find a second dragon like this, right?"
"But there aren’t two completely identical Dragon Gods; which Dragon Clan member who ascended to godhood was ordinary?"
"That’s true."
"This dragon is too arrogant!"
"Isn’t that a good thing? Thus, there is no direct conflict between him and us."
"That’s not certain, giving such mechanical creations to mortals without any qualms."
The elf, with a few golden strands falling from the hood, looked disdainfully at a mechanical creation driving past, and the hot steam billowing from it was blown by a gust of wind onto him, making his expression even more annoyed.
"Truly absurd!"
"Isn’t this precisely an expression of his confidence? He isn’t worried that such mechanical creations would threaten him."
"One day, he will realize his own mistakes and regret them."
"When that day comes, it won’t concern us."
"Stop wasting time here, go visit him directly!"
Sitting high in the tower, like a Holy Dragon perched in the heavens, casting his gaze down on the two silent figures appearing before him, the tall male handsome and the female slender and beautiful, seeming perfectly matched at a glance— a match made in heaven.
Elf Main God, Ailoran
Nature Goddess, Serena
"A strong divine power and a medium divine power; why meet me like thieves? What are you afraid of?"
Noah looked at the divine incarnations before him, his tone tinged with mockery.
"Just don’t want today’s conversation to be known by too many unrelated beings. I hope you can also keep it secret from the outside."
Ailoran spoke.
"Say what you want to do?"
Noah neither agreed nor promised anything but asked again about their purpose.
"I want to change my divine name to become the God of Dawn."
"Dawn? You also want to delve into the Sun Domain."
Noah immediately understood; the Elf God system had never had a Sun God, so now they wanted to take the opportunity to seize part of the Sun Divine Office.
