Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 995 - 545: Slumber and Ascension to the Protoverse

Noah could not understand why Odin was more eager than he was. Clearly considering the Space-Time Realm as his private territory, yet before he even took any initiative, this old Divine King voluntarily handed over everything.

Although in terms of interests, the two seemed not at odds, Noah did not completely abandon the use of faith. The mere maintenance of Heroic Spirit Hall's belief in the Abyss required a massive consumption of faith power.

Odin knew this, for Noah never concealed the existence of Heroic Spirit Hall. Therefore, in terms of short-term faith, Odin would certainly be at a loss, as for the long-term future, Noah could provide no guarantees.

Yet even under such circumstances, Odin was still proactive, raising Noah's suspicions, for standing in Odin's position, Noah believed he would not make such a choice. Even if there was no escape in the end, a delay would be preferable.

"Noah, I know what you're thinking, but our interests are aligned. Only by fully mastering the Space-Time Realm can one eliminate the gods' covetousness and protect our faith."

Although Noah's intuition told him this old Divine King was somewhat strange, with the meat already in front of him, how could he refuse to eat?

However, directly swallowing it whole was impossible. The Space-Time Realm was larger than the Dragon Realm. The advantage of the Dragon Realm was having Noah as the Sovereign, with its internal order already coordinated and unified. But this wasn't a reason to swallow it all at once; such a crude fusion would certainly cause big problems.

Thus, under Divine King Odin's cooperation, Noah started to separate the Space-Time Realm bit by bit, transporting and devouring each continent evolved from a Shattered Material Realm. This was an extremely lengthy process.

Yet even so, after gradually devouring one-third of the Space-Time Realm Continent, the concerns Noah had started to surface.

This was due to the gradual integration of foreign continents and a surge of many native races, leading to a decreasing control over the world.

This was actually a historical issue; each time a fragmented Material World integrated, Noah's authority would be diluted, yet after a period of management, Noah could return to his original level.

This time was different; the scale of the Space-Time Realm was overwhelmingly large. On one hand, there was Divine King Odin's urging, and on the other, there was evidence of divine interference starting secretly.

Therefore, under the influence of both factors, even discovering his authority was continually diluted, Noah chose to continue devouring. Even if his intervention and influence over the world reduced, so what? He remained the Lord of the World, with no competition.

However, more issues gradually began to emerge; the uniqueness of the Space-Time Realm lay in its formation from the fusion of many Shattered Material Realms.

In other words, each continent in the Space-Time Realm had unique rules, and when Noah elected to annex these continents, it meant as the Lord of the World, he must coordinate and govern these unique rules.

From a long-term perspective, this was undoubtedly a good thing; for any Epic, this was an opportunity one would dream of, with unique rules originating from different worlds laid bare.

But for Noah, this caused his influence on the worldly level to plummet, as his mental will gradually immersed in coordinating and mastering these rules, leaving little energy to interfere in worldly matters.

"Designation 57, temporarily named the Valoran Continent. Confirmed presence of two Wisdom Races; their bloodline levels and racial traits are currently under investigation. The investigation team will submit the first report in three days."

"Two Wisdom Races? Hopefully, we won't need to issue another extermination order this time."

Upon hearing the Assistant Demon Fairy report, the Dragon Fairy Queen, surrounded by mountains of paperwork, sighed.

"Put away your compassion; Your Majesty's territory requires no inferior races."

The ominous voice filled with intense killing intent echoed inside the Holy Sun Palace suspended in the Sky Dome.

"Yes."

Hearing the indifferent words from the high platform spoken by the once follower of the Holy Dragon Emperor, and also the oldest Fairy Queen, the slightly lazy Dragon Fairy Queen quickly lowered her head.

She knew why this Ancient Fairy King harbored such hostility towards these foreign races, because some races' behavior was indeed intolerable. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

In Sun Calendar Year 285, a Holy Decree descended, signaling the integration of an Outer Continent, with new species and ecology to emerge, ordering all administrative agencies, armed legions, and regional lords to prepare.

Under the premise of not violating the Golden Code, help these outsiders adapt to the new world, guide them into the Golden Order, becoming indispensable members in the prosperity of all things.

Because of the Holy Decree, the Dragon-men harbored great expectations for these Outer Continents, ready to greet the unknown and stranger Wisdom Races on it in a friendly manner.

The majority of Wisdom Species, upon witnessing the powerful military displayed by the Dragon-men, sensibly accepted the Dragon-men's friendliness and kindness, yet a portion of the races regarded the Dragon-men's friendliness and kindness as an entitlement.

These races, upon understanding that it was the Holy Dragon deliberately descending the Holy Decree for them, arrogantly demanded the Dragon-men to provide welfare and living standards above the Dragon-men's baseline.
