Beneath the Red Dragon

This step cannot be reversed, as the effect and significance are completely different.

As the focal point of all eyes within the royal tent, Karon Gogomola maintained his original calm demeanor and looked towards the still defiant Multi-armed Giant Mogyes.

”Mogyes, how many years have you spent in this mortal world?”

Not only were the other kings taken aback, but even Mogyes was slightly stunned and subconsciously replied, ”Me? As a Giant, one of such longevity, who would care about their age? As a being above Legend, who would remember how many years they have lived?”

”I once had a glimpse of the true face of the Supreme Celestial Titan, and from now to then, it must have been several hundred years ago.”

So Karon nodded, lightly laughed, and said, ”Indeed, you have spent at least several hundred years in this world, yet from my hatchling days until now, only a few decades have passed!”

No one could misunderstand the implication in this Dragon Emperor’s words, even the short-lived Beastman King and Human Monarch’s expressions changed.

These short-lived species could attain such powerful abilities in merely a few decades due to their outstanding talents, and also because their metamorphosis requires less time than that of a Giant Dragon.

Beastmen and humans are naturally less capable of bearing power and essence compared to the Dragons, which makes them weaker than the Dragons, but they can advance faster than Dragons.

And this Red Dragon before them achieved such accomplishments within just a few decades, which could be considered a miracle in any Plane World.

What achievements might this Red Dragon attain in the future?

Many legendary strong beings may linger on the threshold of their Celestial Destiny for hundreds or thousands of years without being able to surpass it, just like the Multi-armed Giant Mogyes.

The Power Level of this Giant surpasses that of the other kings, yet he has still not stepped into that revered threshold.

Just like the Dark Elf Hero King Anudale, who is a rare heroic king among the Dark Elves only seen once in many epochs, has only peered forward with longing and unattainable hope at the impenetrable edge of the Legendary Celestial Destiny’s threshold.

But the Ancestral Red Dragon is different; as a Dragon with Ancestral Dragon Blood, he inherently lacks such limitations.

The smoothness of the legendary path does not affect the growth of this Dragon.

Even though the Multi-armed Giant Mogyes possesses outstanding talents, he still cannot compare to the true Ancient Titans and does not have the growth potential of the Ancient Titans.

This is also why this King of Giants once sought to usurp the Storm Titan’s authority and power.

Karon Gogomola saw that the Multi-armed Giant Mogyes was temporarily subdued by his words, stifling his competitiveness, and the other kings’ expressions changed slightly. Only then did he extend his claw, pointing to the geographical model of the Northern Continent at the center of the royal tent, and laugh lightly, ”Kings, look!”

”In the entire Northern Continent of Aikania, the most fertile land and most of the intelligent beings are held by those Southern Nobles,”

”The fertile land occupied by those cowardly and greedy nobles is even many times larger than that of the Hobis Empire and the Golden Empire combined,”

”Is it because they are nobler than us, or because they are stronger than us?”

Karon Gogomola scanned the concentrated kings with his eyes and laughed, ”No, it is simply because they represent a form of order, a set of rules, that allows such dregs to peacefully occupy such beautiful places.”

”Break the rules, forge the rules, become the rule,” Karon Gogomola opened his arms as if embracing all the mountains and seas, and laughed, ”I invited you kings here to share the world with you, to divide half the Northern Continent with the Golden Empire and rule it together!”

The phrase ’share the world’ is unparalleled in its appeal to talent, and it means nothing less to the kings.

Why is that? The temptation is too great.

The eyes of each king became intense and dangerous, even the King of Elves felt his breath subtly grow heavier, and his once calm heart was involuntarily leaping as if stirred by passionate blood.

To say such words, one must be extraordinary; it requires not merely vision but also the guarantee of prestige and credibility, which Karon Gogomola does not lack.

In the brief yet intense silence, it was the Beastman King, Bossel Lane, who spoke first.

”We have no doubts that if the kings unite, we can surely trample the Northern Continent, sweeping away all the Southern Nobles, but what happens after we have swept away the nobles?”

Bossel Lane fixed his keen gaze on the Dragon Emperor and asked, ”The land occupied by the Southern Noble Alliance is vast enough, but the kings’ ambitions are even vaster. Once there are issues with the distribution of benefits, war will break out among the kings!”

The Beastman King cannot afford not to pay attention because the entire Beastman Kingdom has waited countless years for such an opportunity.

Without the opening provided by a force like the Golden Empire creating an order, as soon as the Beastmen set foot on the main continent, they would face the hostility and joint attack of all civilized forces.

But as long as a deep alliance is forged with the Golden Empire, the Beastman Kingdom would naturally gain the excuse and right to initiate war.

The Emperor Charal Cesar of the Hobis Empire also spoke up: ”Then who shall lead this entire Alliance of Kings? Although the Golden Empire is the advocate of the alliance, it is impossible for the kings to willingly act as vanguard for you just because of that!”
