Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 729 - 412: The Dragon Vein Tragedy and Divine Descent of the Holy Dragon
Sorlon’s face still wore a gentle smile, as he continued to play the role of a husband.
"Isn’t this good?"
The Nature God’s elect retorted.
"I mean that she didn’t inherit my Dragon Vein."
Upon hearing the elf’s words before him and observing her reaction, a cold glint flashed in Sorlon’s eyes.
The least likely bloodline was inherited, whereas the one that should have been inherited was suppressed. If there was no intervention from a higher existence, he would never believe it.
"But she has received the approval of both the Sky and Nature’s will!"
Helena seemed unaware of her partner’s dissatisfaction, instead reminding Sorlon with a beaming smile,
"Look at your daughter’s palm, there you will find the approval of both the sky and nature’s will!"
As Sorlon followed his partner’s words and looked down, his daughter in his arms giggled and opened her palm to him. On her left palm, there was a pattern of a golden spear constructed from countless bolts of thunder, while on her right palm, there was a sword mark seemingly woven with green vine patterns.
Crackle~
In Sorlon’s slightly incredulous gaze, the daughter in his arms slightly clenched her little hand, and golden arcs of lightning flickered at her fingertips. Then, a small spear less than half a meter long appeared, roughly in proportion to her form.
"I remember that your Augustus family also had a monarch who possessed a similar spear, but our daughter is even more outstanding than he was, being favored by both the sky and nature’s will."
"Ha ha!"
Sorlon gave an awkward laugh. So-called favor from nature’s will he had just witnessed; the one before him was a chosen of the Nature Goddess, who could influence nature’s will with utmost ease.
Yet the more this was the case, the more discomfort and antipathy grew in his heart. Was this really his child, or a monster created by divine beings using him and the elf before him?
The fairly legendary third-generation family from the beginning never acknowledged the natural demigod who ruled the Elf Court.
Sorlon of the past didn’t understand, but now the man fully understood why his ancestors didn’t acknowledge such an outstanding daughter.
Because an irrelevant existence intervened here. Whose child was born this way, and who would she recognize as her biological father?
"Holy Dragon Emperor, you must have foreseen this scene. Please tell me, what should I do?"
Accompanied by pleading thoughts resonating, a golden light shone before Sorlon, not merely in front of him. Giants in the barracks, and even the elves in the room, all saw the golden radiance piercing the sky dome.
It completely shattered the lingering clouds, allowing the sun high in the sky to once again cast its light upon the ground, illuminating all things.
Bathed in the golden sunlight, every dragon giant wore expressions of excitement and exhilaration on their faces because the golden radiance spanning the sky had taken form,
a Golden Dragon with wings spreading across the sky, its figure vast, overshadowing the sky dome, its body concealing the sun, extending ceaselessly for thousands of miles, exuding a supremest and most sacred aura, akin to a true god descending upon the earth.
"Holy Dragon Emperor!"
Sorlon, filled with depression earlier, looked up to see the shadow of the Holy Dragon spanning the sky dome, immediately overwhelmed with excitement, prostrated on the ground.
Not just Sorlon, even the Nature God’s elect lying in bed, and the elves serving her, all bowed down at this moment.
At this moment, the roof above them seemed non-existent, as raising their heads revealed the scenery of the sky outside, because Noah’s gaze was cast here, those under it could all see his presence.
Noah’s gaze swept past the giants and elves, ignoring his favored ones, focusing on the newly born infant in his arms.
"Ha!"
Detecting the thoroughly suppressed Dragon Vein within the infant, nearly impossible to awaken through her own efforts, Noah let out a cold laugh.
If the Sorlon of before had no issues, then there were problems everywhere on his daughter’s body now, merely with this suppression, equivalent to a sealed Dragon Vein, Noah could not stand idly by.
"It has been over two hundred years since I last saw an Augustus with such talent. I never expected to see one today, truly remarkable, it seems the Augustus family is poised for a new era of glory!"
"Holy Dragon Emperor, my daughter, her name is Astraea, she is a very remarkable child, but she is not perfect enough."
Upon hearing Noah’s compliments, Sorlon, prostrated on the ground, being seized by a spiritual insight, lifted the infant in his hands high,
"Please grant my daughter a baptism of True Blood in light of my war efforts!"
At these words, the expression on Helena, the Nature God’s elect, changed drastically. Not just that, green shoots and leaves spread across the bed, but as the dazzling golden light descended, time and space seemed to freeze, the will of the Holy Dragon ruled over all above and below, becoming the sole presence here.
"Do you wish to trade your own battle achievements to gain your daughter a baptism of True Blood?"
"Please grant it, Holy Dragon Emperor!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Sorlon lowered his head, his words carrying earnestness and pleading. In his view, this was his only true way of having his daughter.
"Granted!"
The form of the Holy Dragon spanning the sky dome lowered its Dragon Claw, the golden radiance pervading the sky gathered towards the colossal dragon’s fingertip, ultimately condensing into a radiant point like a dazzling sun falling down.
Boom—
The Holy Dragon pointed, and as it fell into the house, it seemed like an endless golden sea sweeping over, the elves in the room trying to resist, but facing the torrent flowing like the breaking of the heavenly river, they were as powerless as mayflies in water.
Wah~
The infant’s crying resounded at that moment as the golden sea descending from the sky edge, flooding entirely into her body, enveloping her.
The suppressed Dragon Vein erupted at this moment, delicate-looking golden scales emerged from skin and flesh, and on both sides of the baby girl’s forehead, Dragon Horns grew.
In just an instant, the previously delicate and lovely baby, now her head sprouted Dragon Horns, a small tail sprouted from behind, and even a very beautiful pair of Dragon Wings emerged from her back, tearing through the swaddling clothes.
"Hahaha~"
Though his daughter was crying, Sorlon couldn’t help but laugh wildly, because he finally saw the traits he desired upon his daughter.
A sense of kinship stronger than blood surged in his heart, the previous worries and misgivings were entirely swept away, the Holy Dragon Emperor had descended, and even displayed his power, what more did he have to worry about?
This was his daughter.
"How could you do that?"
The golden radiance spanning the sky dome dissipated, the Nature God’s elect, Helena, freed from suppression, rushed before Sorlon, questioning while trying to take the child away.
"What did I do wrong? I traded all my war achievements for a drop of True Blood, giving Astraea a baptism not easily attained by many; what is wrong with that?"
Facing a chosen of the divines, Sorlon did not relent, because he had a feeling that the Holy Dragon Emperor was still watching him.
"Astraea was already perfect enough; she doesn’t need Dragon Blood!"
Helena screamed, countless vines and roots spreading in the mist.
"I think she needs it."
Sorlon snorted coldly, Thunder manifesting and vanishing in the air, Flames spreading across the corners.
"She has already awakened your Augustus family’s strongest Titan Bloodline and possesses our elves’ highest lineage. Such a combination is already excellent. By letting her bear Dragon Blood, you are adding burdens, it’s an unnecessary weight."
"I think your elves’ bloodline is the most pointless burden, excessively redundant!"
Having just been exemplary partners filled with sincere emotions, they now faced off, seemingly irreconcilable as water and fire, Sorlon no longer had any reservations,
"I should have just requested Noah to remove the elf bloodline from my daughter."
"Sigh!"
At this moment, from a corner within the room, a silhouette emitting verdant divine light, let out a sigh, who knows when she appeared,
"Even in contentious matters, partners should communicate and understand each other peacefully."
