Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 787 - 441: Is Augustus Going to Rebel?
"My reincarnated form broke out! I’ve learned about some basic conditions in the Space-Time Realm."
"Well done, tell us about it."
Noah’s eyes lit up. Although his reincarnated form was still developing steadily, his collection of surrounding information was truly deplorable.
The civilization he’s currently interacting with is the most developed, and it’s just a group of fish-men. These creatures can’t even differentiate between north, south, east, and west, let alone comprehend any worldview or past histories. He can only rely on his physical body to map out the area.
"The main material structure within the Space-Time Realm is composed of ninety-six Floating Continents, where you and I are among them. Besides these Floating Continents, there are also many Floating Mountain Ranges and Islands, a large number of Ancient Ruins, Secret Realms, and Special Restricted Areas scattered among them..."
After roughly introducing the basic physical conditions within the Space-Time Realm, Odin then spoke about the distribution of powers.
"Currently, there is no force unifying the entire territory within the Space-Time Realm. It’s just a mixed-battle and division scenario among various races that remain from past wars. Presently, the Divine Race, Giant Clan, Dwarves and Dwarfs, Humans, along with Demonic Offspring, Demonic Spirits, Dark Elves, and Blood Clan are the most outstanding races, each able to occupy at least one complete continent as their race’s habitat for dwelling and breeding."
"What are the Divine Race and Demonic Offspring?"
It’s not surprising for Noah to find races common in other Material Realms existing within the Space-Time Realm. Being able to occupy a position in various Material Realms, even within the closed Space-Time Realm, isn’t much of a feat.
What puzzled Noah was the emphasis on the Divine Race and Demonic Offspring made by this Divine King.
What does God mean? What about Demon?
Until now, Noah hasn’t encountered any race claiming to be the Divine Race. Of course, it’s not that there isn’t a Divine Race. The legendary Titans, if they still exist and traces can be found, could be called the Divine Race.
However, the issue is Titans seem to disdain faith-related concepts. To call them the Divine Race would almost be an insult to Titans. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"My God system descendants have now developed into a race calling themselves the Divine Race."
When saying this, Odin’s tone lowered slightly because even in his prime, leading the God system, he never claimed to be the Divine Race.
"So the Demonic Clan consists of the descendants left by your old friends?"
Noah speculated on the origins of the Demonic Clan, teasing along the way.
"That’s right, the Demonic Offspring are indeed the descendants left by my old friends."
"Are the descendants of the Black King among them?"
Noah immediately inquired, as his main goal in entering the Space-Time Realm is to find the Dragon King’s Skeleton. As for any True Divine Artifacts, acquiring a few would be great, but missing out isn’t a concern.
"There are indeed dragons among the Demonic Offspring, but the Black King’s descendants are not among them. His bloodline is spread on the Upper Continent, especially among the Human Race."
"Human Race?"
In all major Material Realms, if human groups with a certain development history of civilization exist, their racial status wouldn’t be low. Some Human Races have even dominated and unified the Material Realm, beginning to expand outward into new worlds.
"He sure chose well, but why the Human Race?"
The overall development potential of the Human Race is undeniable. However, to races with sufficiently high innate starting points, individual humans don’t seem to have any advantages.
"I’m not sure, but the rise of the Human Race in the Space-Time Realm is inextricably linked to my old friend. Humans inheriting his bloodline hold considerable status within the Human Race."
"I just want to know how the first humans obtained the Black King’s bloodline."
Noah stayed focused on what he wanted to know. Although he was aware that the Black King killed by Odin likely left no remains, there’s always a bit of hopeful thinking.
Because the Black King was indeed killed, but his consciousness still exists. He wouldn’t just perish easily, and there’s a possibility for him to revive and return.
With consciousness intact, how could the Black King tolerate being dismantled and destroyed by a bunch of rats?
"You can investigate this yourself."
Odin replied. Although his reincarnated form had escaped slavery and obtained a lot of information, as the price for his freedom, his reincarnated form was now subjected to endless pursuit.
"Where is your reincarnated form?"
"On the Upper Continent, based on your description, you are on the Middle Barbaric Continent. We can’t meet up for the time being."
"Based on the power of our reincarnated forms right now, we indeed don’t have the ability to cross continents, but don’t you have Divine Race descendants?"
"If a crawling lizard appeared before you, claiming to be the Golden Dragon’s ancestor, what would you do?"
"But you’re not a fraud."
Noah understood what Odin was getting at.
"Precisely because of this, before I retrieve my weapon and restore my lost power, I will never reveal myself or my identity before the Divine Race descendants."
Odin’s demeanor was calm, showing no joy over the fact that the descendants of his once-dominant God system still held sway within the Space-Time Realm.
"I understand your concerns; you don’t trust them."
"Do you think those kids are trustworthy?"
"Not worth it, the risk is too great."
For a ruler, the statues in a temple are best left motionless. Whether made of clay, wood, or any material, as long as they don’t come to life, even wrapping them in gold is fine.
But once the statue moves, it signifies the loss of power. If the statue possesses power to rival royal authority, it’s still manageable. The reigning king may have to endure, but what happens if that power isn’t wielded appropriately?
