Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 968 - 531_2

"This is the Abyss, Noah, don't think that conquering a few planes lets you act recklessly. Are you not aware of how many eyes are secretly watching you?"

As he spoke, Ailoran gave a casual glance and saw a massive spider seemingly weaving through the Void in stealth. As soon as it sensed his gaze, it leaped lightly and vanished.

"It's you who's being reckless, Ailoran. What makes you think you can threaten a Dragon King to destroy his only two creations?"

"This is indeed my fault. I can take a step back. Your creation of the dragon trees was meant to restrain the Abyss. From now on, these dragon trees must only appear in the Lower Plane. If they appear on the layers of the Material Realm again, you will bear the full consequences."

"The full consequences? Tell me, what consequences do I need to bear?"

Noah, who initially wanted to hear any terms from the Elf Main God, could no longer endure. His Dragon Claws extended, and a storm of flames swept through the Void, flying and spreading widely,

"Do I also have to clean up the mess caused by you thieves?"

"No, I'm saying you cannot actively spread any dragon trees into the Material Realm!"

Seeing the Dragon King erupt and attack him, Ailoran realized his mistake. His intention was to prevent the Dragon King from actively spreading dragon trees into the Material Realm, but after large-scale propagation, it's impossible to stop the trees from entering the Material Realm through various means.

Whether for collection or other purposes, dragon trees will certainly appear in the Material Realm. Requiring a Dragon King to bear the consequences for this is indeed quite rude.

Thus, the encounter between Noah and the Elf Main God was quite unpleasant, yet both sides maintained a significant degree of restraint.

Even Noah, who had gathered most of his true form, refrained from delivering a fatal blow to the personally descended Elf Main God.

It's not a question of winning, but that even if he exerted all his strength to solve the other party, it was meaningless. Instead, it might enter him into a weakened state, attracting many prying eyes. The Abyss is not a good place for a Divine War.

The Elf Main God, Ailoran, also realized this point. Thus, the harsh demands initially made on Noah were lowered repeatedly, and in the end, simply weren't mentioned as they became meaningless after being lowered to a certain point.

This encounter ended quite hastily, with no agreement reached. After this contact, possibly due to some unknown third-party intervention, or whether intentionally or unintentionally,

As Noah's Favored endeavored to propagate the Blood Abyss Cyan Dragon Tree, especially when the fourth-generation seeds were about to mature, a large-scale tree seed theft suddenly broke out.

This theft was extremely egregious because, according to subsequent statistics, over three hundred seeds disappeared without reason. More critically, the Forbidden Army and Dragon-man Battle Group responsible for those areas were utterly unaware of it.

These Guardians only discovered the theft when they went to extract seeds from the dropped fruits at the treetops and found them empty. In such a case, determining the exact time of the theft was impossible.

Even legendary spellcasters tried to use prophetic magic to track down these seeds, but an exceedingly strong force completely blocked them. Merely as legendary spellcasters, they were fundamentally unable to trace the source.

Under these circumstances, as the Dragon King, Noah also stepped in, trying to track down the bold thieves' origins. Unfortunately, Noah was not familiar with prophetic magic. Even when he used his authority to try reversing time within a certain space to trace the thieves, he ultimately failed.

This was the investigation statement Noah gave to the outside world, claiming that even as a Dragon King, locating the thieves through transcendent means was challenging, knowing nothing about them.

Therefore, while strongly condemning such vile acts, the Dragon King was also compelled to offer a bounty, claiming that anyone who could find traces related to the thieves would be richly rewarded.

However, before anyone could provide related information and claim this high bounty, the stolen dragon tree seeds started appearing in various parts of the Material Realm—and not just one or two but on a scale.

Just a rough count showed that the first batch of dragon tree fruits that flowed out numbered as many as thirty-two, and these fruits appeared in worlds severely eroded by the Lower Plane, ecosystems entirely collapsed, nearly fallen.

A drowning person will grasp at a lifeline with all their strength, and those living in the apocalypse will naturally do everything they can to hold on to anything that might save them.

Even filled with ominous signs, demanding terrible costs, the instinct to survive will override everything, including reason.

Therefore, every dragon tree seed falling into these apocalyptic worlds received extremely favorable treatment. Especially when the holders discovered these seeds could repair, even rebuild ecosystems during growth, and the dragon spirits they gestated could spontaneously slay demons, providing a safe harbor, it triggered more bloody and frenzied events.

This also drew the attention of the Elf God System. When discovering these dragon trees, mutated from the Life Tree, appearing in the Material Realm, a Main God became furious, immediately dispatching many Divine Envoy Teams to retrieve or destroy these dragon trees.

But for the survivor forces living in the apocalypse, the dragon trees were all they had. Taking away the dragon trees equates to destroying their hope. Fighting to the death is the most common choice.

Although the divine-powered Divine Envoy Teams usually accomplished their task, successfully retrieving or destroying dragon trees, there were also failures, and such disturbances were hard for other gods to ignore.

When it became known that a god system Main God would go to such lengths over a small tree, the information related to these dragon trees quickly spread across the worlds, becoming as well-known and renowned as the Black Devouring Dragon.

That was when the second batch of stolen dragon seeds flowed out, and their flows weren't confined to doomsday planes but also reached some well-ordered, normally developing Material Worlds.

Although it seemed like the dragon trees had no place in these worlds, it's known that strong beings, especially spellcasters, are very keen on collecting rare plants to showcase their strength and extraordinariness.

Therefore, for most races in the Material Realm without practical needs, an Elf Main God-noticed dragon tree seed is undoubtedly a hot potato. However, for those at the pinnacle of the Material Realm, this is an excellent shortcut to challenge Divine authority and verify themselves.

Thus, even though the Elf God System dispatched a strong retrieval team, they still encountered many refusals when collecting the second batch of seeds.

Returning empty-handed was the good outcome—some unlucky ones even got exiled into the Void. Of course, the unluckiest were killed in a moment of disagreement.

Not everyone in this world will give face to the Elf God. Though the Elf God System is powerful, they are not the sole dominator among the gods; some entities are not intimidated by the Elf God.

Thus, when the third batch of tree seeds was released, the Elf retrieval team was quite nonchalant. Though souls would be guided by gods after death, no one wanted to die without value, so shamefully and, moreover, death was not certain.

Thus, the expansion of dragon trees among the worlds officially entered a regular track.
