Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 838 - 466: Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes, Quite a Tasty Experience _2

In the same vein, even if the world of one's birth is suitable, to what extent must one go to gain the recognition of the World Will? Most importantly, suppress the opinions of other powerful entities within the world.

Noah, due to his unique lineage and his own diligence and effort, reached an almost invincible realm after becoming a pinnacle existence in the Material Realm.

But for the vast majority of Legends, even if they hail from high-level races, possess lineage blessings, and have the backing of the Divines, conquering the world is impossible, not even for a Demigod.

Because a medium Material Realm can nurture more than one Demigod-level being, with countless ancient Divinity creatures; not everyone can, like Noah, suppress the world single-handedly—imitating him is simply out of the question.

For most Legends, the best path to achieving eternal immortality is Divine Enthronement, but to achieve immortality while also transcending the independence of the Material Realm is naturally ten or even a hundred times more difficult.

Although true fairness never exists in the world, on the path to immortality, the amount of effort often equates to the reward. Even if some beings are born immortal, this immortality usually comes with constraints and shackles that are difficult to escape.

Therefore, as a special being destined to attain immortality, whose path is hard for others to replicate, it is natural that many are curious about Noah.

However, these beings more uninhibited and unrestrained compared to Divines, their attention and curiosity, greatly annoy Noah.

"We once had indirect contact, have you forgotten?"

Facing Noah's cold, even harsh attitude, the Sacrificial Snake was unperturbed, responding in the same plain and gentle tone.

He could understand the wariness of the future peer before him, as he hadn't truly attained immortality. It's only natural for him to be cautious of proactive contact.

If their positions were swapped, his reaction likely wouldn't be much better. Few can calmly face contact from a being far more powerful than themselves, as it often doesn't signify anything good.

"You are the most active among the great snakes of the Sitra Snake-man Empire's priests." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Noah looked up at the giant serpent that already obscured the sky; the looming ten-thousand-meter serpent silhouette now had a world-overturning momentum.

But this was merely the illusion within this temporary space; the other could only exhibit such presence here. Once truly within the scope of Material Realm laws, this being would immediately face the strongest resistance and strike from the World Will.

Yet the immense serpent shadow stretching for ten thousand meters in front of him might be the true form of the Sacrificial Snake, though still inferior to the Star Forger Dragon King he had seen, yet vastly superior to the Ancestor Golden Dragon Ancestor he had encountered. The two were not on the same realm at all.

This was certainly an immortal being with power comparable to the Dragon King. The worst part is, this being is extraordinarily active. Even if he harbored no ill will towards Material Realm life, his every thought or action could alter the fate of countless beings.

Just like the Giant Beast who had already submitted to Noah—a being whose size, measured in hundreds of meters, could cause devastating damage to a country or region through mere survival activities, changing landscapes permanently.

The Sacrificial Snake before him was far more terrifying than any Giant Beast self-nurtured by the world. His thoughts alone could establish faith sects and build a vast empire.

"Sitra Snake-man Empire? That was a worldly empire I inadvertently created while meeting with some old friends. You had contact with it, it seems you still remember."

"My interactions with the empire established by your favored ones were unpleasant, especially with that other great deity worshiped by those snake-men, the Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes!"

Faced with the slightly enthusiastic interaction from the Sacrificial Snake, Noah remained cold.

He not only harbored no goodwill towards these great snakes but also had considerable bias and aversion, particularly towards the Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes, who had personally intervened to express covetousness and greed towards him.

"Are you referring to Sasha? He bears no malice, merely a passion for breeding snake swarms.

If you're willing, he's actually a very good partner, capable of transforming into any form or appearance you desire. Have you not tasted her charms?"

Upon hearing Noah mention the Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes, the Sacrificial Snake's tone instantly grew livelier, seemingly quite intrigued.

"I refused her and clashed with her in battle!"

Noah was unsurprised by the chaotic relations among these immortal beings, for those who were undying; nothing they did would be peculiar.

Morality and ethics are merely rules set by wise beings in the mundane world to restrain and govern groups; how could these immortal beings possibly abide by such shallow rules? Everything follows their own desires and thoughts.

"Why refuse her?"

The Sacrificial Snake couldn't comprehend Noah's decision.

He had initially thought Noah was a fellow dragon and sought to discuss it with him, but it now seemed this young dragon understood nothing at all.

"I am a Golden Dragon, I have my own partner, so I would not commit any act of betrayal towards my partner."

Though as a Golden Dragon with multiple partners, Noah had little qualification to make such statements. Compared to the traditional mate selection views of ordinary Golden Dragons, he was already rather heretical.

However, Noah's standards in this regard were quite strict, not just anything would do. Even though the Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes was a being he now had to look up to, it didn't mean he would engage in such intimate, chaotic relationships.

Moreover, that Snake Mother back then wasn't just seeking a relationship for bodily pleasure but clearly wanted something from his bloodline.

"Golden Dragon? Partner? I see."

Though Noah's actions seemed a bit naive in the eyes of the Sacrificial Snake, this immortal serpent still expressed understanding.

"My interactions and relations with you all have been unpleasant from start to finish, and even now, your favored ones and adherents continue to cause me trouble."

"Well, you might not believe it, but I've never had any malice towards you nor have I issued any earthly commands or orders."

The Sacrificial Snake sincerely replied,

"This may seem like shirking responsibility, but most actions targeting you are the result of the snake-men's own initiative. I haven't interfered."

"Hmm, I believe you, so can you issue an order? Terminate all disruptions and damages against my army's expansion!"

Noah trusted the Sacrificial Snake's explanation; there was no need for deceit or concealment towards him.

As a being transcending above all realms, freer than any Divine, the great snake, though not requiring faith, would naturally be worshipped by mundane beings whenever traces appeared among them.

Thus, even though the Sacrificial Snake doesn't need faith, it doesn't stop him from having adherents, and his adherents would still act in his name.

As a generous and gracious great snake, the Sacrificial Snake would often positively respond to and resolve the demands of his adherents, which could easily disrupt the historical process of the Material Realm, altering the layout of many worlds.

As for snake-man followers, independent actions without any directives or orders are only natural. Intelligent beings, even with faith, have their desires—where there's desire, there will naturally be action.

Noah's expeditionary colonization army encroached upon the actual interests of countless groups and forces, inviting opposition from various sides, as forces who felt threatened sent their strength for covert resistance, which was entirely reasonable.
