Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 997 - 546: Devouring the Epic Alive

"Father, it's not only Dragon-men who are your people; many races are also willing to submit to your rule!"

"All races willing to adhere to the Golden Order will be granted opportunities that I bestow upon them."

As the supreme Dragon King ruling the world, Noah did not treat all things as mere trifles. In his eyes, all things and races were not equal; he particularly favored the Dragon-men and those beings who demonstrated excellent character and upright behavior.

The Monarch's favoritism often leads to injustice, even causing offspring to turn against each other. How much more so when such favoritism comes from a Lord of the World?

However, Noah did not consider his favoritism to be problematic. He was the Lord of the World, but he was also the Dragon King. If he didn't favor his own favored race, would he favor those alien races attempting to challenge the Golden Order?

Noah couldn't achieve complete impartiality; he indeed had his personal interests.

Those who follow me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish.

That's all there is to it.

"Father!"

After hundreds of years without meeting, his father had become more unfamiliar than in his memories, yet still carried some familiarity—in that undeniable will.

"You should now be aware of the changes occurring in my world."

Noah didn't want to discuss with his eldest son how to deal with the exotic realm races because it was pointless. Past events were already established facts, and Noah did not intend to make any adjustments for the future.

"The world is about to advance and become a Great World?"

Upon hearing his father mention this, Iliad couldn't help but inquire.

He frequently resided in Heaven, and this visit brought a profound sense. Although the Dragon Realm still couldn't compare to Heaven in grandeur and vastness, it already exhibited a similar majestic atmosphere; such changes were truly astonishing.

He had visited other material worlds, yet none could compare to Heaven, but in this world beneath his feet now, he sensed similar qualities.

"The Great World is still far off, but it can easily accommodate several Divines. You can move your Divine Country back from Heaven."

The Divine Country of the Divines, even when exaggerated in the mortal realm as grand and brilliant, at its core is merely a highly special half-plane, requiring dependence on a fully rule-bound world to persist, thus commonly found in upper planes or the depths of lower Abyss regions.

Of course, some are dependent on the material world, albeit often suspended outside the material world. Yet Noah's world can accept Divines migrating their countries within, allowing Divines to walk in the mortal world.

However, this right to walk the mortal world requires Noah, the Lord of the World, to grant permission. Without his consent, it would be rejected by the mortal world, even facing dire repercussions.

"Move the Divine Country back?"

Iliad paused in silence.

"Your brothers and sisters will move their countries within. If you're accustomed to Heaven, stay there!"

Seeing his eldest son's silence, Noah didn't mind. The Dragon Realm didn't lack a weak Divine Power now. Throughout hundreds of years of warfare, although Dragon-men suffered, many Ascenders with potential for Divine Enthronement emerged.

"Father, I will move the Divine Country back to the Dragon Realm, but I need some time."

Though used to residing in Heaven, reason quickly led Iliad to make the right choice.

He knew very well why he could so easily ascend to weak Divine Power over the past hundreds of years.

Most Divines of similar stature at their Divine Enthronement were merely weak Divine Power, even after thousands or tens of thousands of years, might not progress further, mostly lingering at this level until their demise.

His ascension was due to Divines in Heaven transferring divine authority to him. Why did they grant him the authority? Because he was a descendant of the Blazing Sky God? If so, his mother should've received these divine rights to ascend, shouldn't she?

His grandfather, the Blazing Sky God, was certainly Heaven's guardian, highly esteemed. Yet precisely because of this identity, to Heaven's many gods, his grandfather posed no threat, in contrast to his father.

Although his father hadn't clashed directly with Heaven's Divines, merely having some disharmony due to Sun Domain authority before ascending to Dragon King, it didn't count for much.

The real issue now was the Golden Order that his father promoted, expanding chaotically across various realms, severely impacting many Divine faiths.

Divine-developed sects in the mortal realm couldn't resist such cross-plane militant power. No matter the fervent faith, faced with material world force, remained helpless. Though Divines can bestow grace, his father can deploy even greater power.

For this reason, he could receive Heaven's divine power transfer. Recognizing this fact, when his father asked him to move his Divine Country back, the answer was naturally affirmative; he had no choice.

Unlike the myriad fantasies within his child's mind, Noah's thoughts were far simpler; he had no schemes because they were unnecessary.

He continuously captured worlds originally within the Sitra Empire territory while guiding Space-Time Realm integration. Noah's understanding and mastery of material world rules kept elevating. Up to the present, he has now advanced to a higher level.
