Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 252: The headless evil, the new king recognizes his ancestors
"His Majesty!"

A cry filled with sorrow was heard, because the immortal king, who was admired by countless undead and even the demigod liches had to kneel down in front of him, had his neck chopped off by a dragon, and a mountain of white bones fell to the ground.

"My dear, it's mine!"

When Noah saw the Immortal King's head falling, his dragon eyes lit up and he immediately stretched out his dragon claws and caught it in his hand.

Although an infinite amount of death energy erupted, trying to corrode his flesh and blood and transform Noah into an undead, but with the majestic blood energy of the main legendary ancestor dragon, Noah resisted the erosion of this death energy.

"Well done, let's go!"

Selena, who was defending Noah against the wave of undead, appeared in front of Noah with a joyful smile on her face. Then she touched Noah's scales with her staff. In an instant, a tremendous force swept over, time and space were distorted, and the world was reversed.

In just a few moments, Selena brought Noah back from the world of the dead to the land of the living. As for Parvati, Selena didn't care about her.

However, the legendary wizard now has no energy to care about the life or death of his great-granddaughter. Anyway, the elven gods will not let her die in the cemetery.

Now, what Selena needs to worry about is the head of the Immortal King that was retrieved by Noah. It is a source of endless death energy. The death energy that overflows from it every breath and every second is enough to create a natural disaster of the undead, which can easily destroy a prosperous city and swallow up a country in a moment.

"You guys are courting death!"

The Immortal King, who was caught in the dragon's claws by Noah, was exposed and a cold thought came out.

The Immortal King did not die, he was just beheaded. In short, his neck was cut off, which was of course a fatal injury to a mortal creature.

But for the undead, this thing cannot be called damage. The heads of ordinary skeleton soldiers can be picked up and replaced after they are lost, let alone the Immortal King.

"So much nonsense!"

The secretion of space-time amber solidified, but it could not be sealed for too long, because the head itself contained extremely powerful power. The soul fire that was leaping in it was so strong that Noah would not be able to get it in his hands if it were not for the influence of the Spear of Destiny.

However, the present is different from the past. As a young dragon, Noah did not even dare to take the head of a lava demon, even if there was no soul fire in it, for fear that it would come back to life or be hurt by the death energy.

But now Noah has fished out the living head of the King of the Dead, and he wants to put it in his own treasury. This is a priceless treasure, and it would be very prestigious whether he puts it in the treasury or in the trophy display room.

"Just add a few more layers, don't complain about the trouble!"

Seeing the skull of the Immortal King temporarily sealed by the amber of time and space, Selina waved her staff and cast heavy rune seals on the amber.

Only a head is left. The Immortal King who has lost his body is still powerful. Ordinary legends are not even qualified to get close to him. But now it only has a head left. Without a body, its strength has been weakened by more than half.

This is certainly not the case for normal undead. Soul fire is the core of undead creatures and the source of their power. Once the fire is destroyed, all that remains is a corpse.

Just like the Frost Corpse Dragon that was killed instantly by Noah, once its head and soul fire were destroyed, all that remained was a headless corpse, completely useless. But it was different for the Immortal King.

He does possess the soul fire, but he also has a second core, which is his body. The Immortal King, with only a head left, has obviously weakened in strength. Noah now dares to pick up the skull in his hands and play with it.

"I know!"

A man and a dragon toiled for three days and two nights in the Gobi Desert, where few living creatures lived, before they successfully stuffed the Immortal King's skull into a piece of amber that looked only the size of a human head. The key lay in the layers of space runes inside it.

"Hahaha, this is the most perfect work I have ever done!"

When the amber necklace took shape, the legendary wizard, who looked like a young girl, couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and laughed triumphantly when she saw the delicate immortal bone inside it. However, just as she was about to take the amber in her hand, Noah had already taken the lead and grabbed the amber in his dragon claws.

"Little Noah, what do you want to do?"

Selina narrowed her already narrow eyes.

"Aunt, don't you think it's appropriate to leave this head with me for safekeeping? After all, these thirty-six rune seals are all based on my time-space amber."

Noah said seriously while holding onto the Immortal King's head.

"I don't think so. Without me replenishing the runes, this head will break the seal sooner or later, which will cause big trouble."

"Runes, I can learn them."

Noah said without hesitation.

"I can teach you, but you have to leave this amber with me first. Once you have learned it, I will keep it for you."

There was a gentle temptation in the girl's tone, which made people's minds and wills sway. Unfortunately, the Golden Dragon's will had gone through so much hardship that it remained unmoved.

"No, these runes are not difficult to learn. I can master them all in half a year at most. Before that, I think this skeleton should not be able to break through the seal we set together."

"Little Noah, this head is too dangerous for you. It's best to let me keep it."

"Aunt, I am now a legendary dragon."

"So you must have this head."

"No one can take the spoils from a dragon's hand."

Noah said confidently that he was supposed to be a supporting role, but he ended up becoming the main output. As a reward, he only got an eyeball of the King of True Sight. Noah felt that it was a huge loss. It would be perfect for him to get the biggest trophy of this battle.

"Well, well, well, the little guy back then has grown up."

Selina, who originally looked a little grim, smiled.
"Since you want it, take it. But shouldn't you return the sword I lent you?"

"What sword?"

There was a look of confusion in Noah's eyes.

"It's useless for you to do this. As long as I notify the original owner of this sword, you will not be able to keep anything."

"Can't you let me use it for a while longer?"

Jin Long sighed and could only hand over the magic weapon that he used very well.

"It's not that I won't let you use it. This weapon is just not suitable for you. Don't you want to destroy yourself? You have been accumulating the title of Holy Dragon for a hundred years. Do you want to change it to Demon Dragon?"

Taking the magic weapon handed over by Noah, Selena stretched out her hand and threw it into a crack in time and space. As for where the sword will eventually end up, this is an obvious question.

"When can I go over and take a look?"

Noah glanced at the healed space-time rift and looked at his adoptive mother.

"We'll see each other if we get a chance."

"profound!"

Hearing the tone, Noah roughly understood and did not argue. His adoptive father probably did not want to see him, at least not in the form of a demon.

"Keep this head safe. The Immortal King is still here, he has not fallen."

"I know." Noah did not go to the northern front where Urnos was personally in charge with his adoptive mother Selina, but returned to his own territory.

His current mission was to keep and suppress the Immortal King's head. As for the Immortal King's headless body, Noah tried to contact his good nephew as soon as he returned to the territory.

The first attempt to contact them failed, with no one responding from the other end. However, with Noah's persistent efforts, they reestablished contact the third time.

"granduncle!"

After being beaten up, Wayne looked much better than the last time they met. He was not wearing the black armor that looked so domineering, but a rather loose black robe. He looked like a noble nobleman of the Dark Night.
"I was just dealing with something..."

Not only did the nephew's attitude become much better, he also began to explain why Noah couldn't be contacted just now and explained what he was doing just now.

"You can handle these things on your own. You don't need to tell me. How is the situation over there?"

“It’s very confusing.”

Wayne showed a look of fatigue on his face as he told Noah and Selina about the great chaos that occurred after they left with the Immortal King's head.

The Immortal King who lost his head did not fall down. Even without the support of soul fire, the characteristics of divine bones allowed it to maintain movement.

However, the Immortal King at this time is no longer the King of the Undead, but a divine evil with divine bones and no self-will. He indiscriminately attacks all the undead, trying to get his head back.

There is no doubt that this was a terrible disaster. The Immortal King had lost his head, and even if his chest was pierced, his power was something that most of the legendary undead could hardly resist.

Fortunately, the Immortal King who had degenerated into a divine evil had no wisdom and acted only on instinct. Therefore, all the legendary undead who felt threatened joined forces to seal him at the bottom of the cemetery.

Among them, the Great Cemetery, which suffered severe damage, contributed the most. Otherwise, after the lich who was about to be promoted to demigod was killed, the Great Cemetery would not have had a legendary high-level undead spellcaster who could take on such a heavy responsibility.

"It's sealed. Will this skeleton give birth to a second consciousness?"

After hearing the final result of the Immortal King, Noah did not relax. The grade of his body was too high. Not to mention just the remains of a head, even a single bone could cause trouble.

“It is indeed possible.”

When Wayne heard this, his expression suddenly became serious.

There is an absolute essential difference between the Immortal King and the Undead. According to the distinction of the supernatural system, it is a divine evil that possesses the power of death and has self-awareness and wisdom.

He recognized his identity as a dead spirit, so he was the king of the undead. It would be interesting if the second consciousness born from this remaining body did not regard the dead spirits as the same kind.

Of course, the birth of a consciousness requires a long period of catalysis. This is a problem that needs to be considered in the future. It can be put aside for the time being and does not need to be regarded as a threat.

After a few hundred years, Noah might be able to dismember the remains of the Immortal King with his bare hands, and even use his bones to make a suit.

"What about your sister?"

"I don't have a sister, but that woman also disappeared after you left. She must have escaped."

Wayne obviously knew who Noah was talking about, but although his attitude had improved, it was only directed at Noah. He still had no good feelings towards that sister.

"really."

Noah was not surprised by the expected result. He stared at his nephew in front of him and mentioned the business.
“Do you know what is the most important thing for you right now?”

"I know, I will become the second generation immortal king!"

The young man's eyes were bright.

Now the biggest threat in the cemetery, the Immortal King, has lost his head, and the biggest rival, the Great Lich, has also been defeated. Now no one knows where he is hiding and secretly resurrecting.

In other words, Wayne's future is bright at this moment, and the throne of the Undead King is waiting for him to ascend.

"Just know it, don't let me down."

Noah nodded with satisfaction. Although the Undead Kingdom would be severely damaged by this war and its power would shrink greatly, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. The Undead Kingdom is still the undisputed overlord of the North, but it will no longer have the ability to move south in the short term.

"Uncle, I want to ask you a question."

Seeing that Noah was about to interrupt communication, Wayne hurriedly said.

"what is the problem?"

Jin Long already had a guess in his mind.

"The sword with which you decapitated the Immortal King. Where did it come from?"

"Someone borrowed it from me."

Noah said with a smile.

"Who lent it to you?"

"What? Are you interrogating me?"

Noah grinned, his tone teasing.

"Of course not, uncle, please forgive my offense, it's just that I was too impatient. This sword is similar to the one in my dream..."

Wayne's tone froze, hesitating whether to continue.

"What was in your dream?"

Noah asked with interest.

“Since I was three years old, I have often had the same dream. In the dream, I would fight with various monsters, and the dream would always change.

The only thing that remains unchanged is that in the deepest part of the dream, there is always a giant sitting among the mountains. Even his back is taller than the sky.

I couldn't see his face clearly, only an outline, but I could see his weapons, and the sword you used seemed to be one of the weapons I saw."

Wayne thought about it and finally made a decision, telling Jin Long the secret that he had never told anyone before.

"Oh, I see. I was wondering how you could become a legend so quickly at such a young age. It turns out you were chosen when you were three years old."

Seeing Noah's surprised look, Wayne quickly asked,
"Do you know that giant? May I ask you who he is?"

"You can't even guess that? My dear nephew, there are no gifts without reason in this world. Everything you get is what you deserve. There is no need to feel flustered or guilty about it."

"Can't you just be honest with me?"

"From now on, your name is Wayne Augustus."
