Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 408 Ambition of Powerful Divine Power

"What a pathetic bunch of lost dogs! It's a pity that this is just the madness before the end of time!"

Noah looked down at the map of the mountains and rivers of the Zealandia continent below him. It was as if the entire world was condensed in it, with mountains, plains, rivers, lakes, and all kinds of landforms, but it was countless times smaller than the reality.

At first glance, it looked like a dragon god of creation was leaning over to observe the world he created. In reality, Noah was just observing the current situation on the continent.

This is a magical device created by Noah based on the network of golden tree roots. It can respond to the dynamic situation on the continent in real time. However, if you want accurate dynamic changes, you need to input information about what is happening around the world.

Without the support of a huge information network, this map of the continent would be just a toy and could not be compared with the golden tree.

"Your Highness Noah, I am willing to go to the Western Mechanical City to help the goblins."

The fairy Lutishia who was serving below observed Noah's expression and saw Noah's emotion, so she volunteered.

Noah is not completely without power in the West, but it only has one enclave, and this enclave belongs to the goblins, a race that does not look very outstanding.

Before Noah took a fancy to this group of goblins who mastered the remaining technology of civilization, this group of greenskins had already developed successfully in their own small piece of land and were considered regional tyrants.

But their limit is this. Limited by their own strength and resources, they can only build a few cities and it is difficult for them to establish a country.

This situation continued until the Holy Dragon in the far east noticed them and cast his gaze upon them. The goblins lost their freedom and became vassals in just a few days. However, it was precisely because they became vassals of the Holy Dragon that the goblins' mechanical city experienced rapid development.

The most clear and intuitive point is that the goblins are no longer constrained by resources. Every household can eat as much as they want and have as many children as they want. No matter how many children they have, they can all receive a complete mechanic education.

Under the protection of powerful military force and almost unlimited supply of resources, the Mechanical City, which was originally just a local overlord, began to expand and develop.

Although it still calls itself the Mechanical City, it has the aura of a Mechanical Country. It’s just that there are no legendary mechanical bodies in it, but it does not lack the protection of legends.

"No need, we already have a candidate for the Western War!"

Noah glanced at the fairy queen below and rejected her request, which made this perfect and elite being, who gathered all the good things in the world, look dim.

The elven gods have abandoned the Shining Moon Spirit Alliance. This is something that only Noah and a few of his close followers know. Even the elves who formed the alliance do not know that they have been abandoned by the gods and used as bargaining chips.

Therefore, in the eyes of those in the know, the Huiyue Lingmeng, which is still conquering cities and territories in the western part of the continent, is not only like a grasshopper in autumn, which can only jump for a few days, but more importantly, it is also a huge piece of fat meat. Everyone who sees it wants to take a bite, even the goblins are no exception.

As a group under the command of the Holy Dragon, the fairies are certainly qualified to participate in the division. The only question is whether His Majesty the Holy Dragon allows it.

If possible, the fairies would also be able to have their own territory in the west of the continent, just like the dragon people in the south.

Unfortunately, His Majesty the Holy Dragon did not allow it, and the fairies lost the opportunity to establish their own racial territory. Of course, they never got it.

"Zoron!"

Noah is aware of the little thoughts of his many vassals. Under the blood ties, he does not need their loyalty, but under the loyalty, each vassal has his own ideas. How to balance and maintain these ideas is the most important thing, because the ways of expressing loyalty can be different.

"Your Majesty the Holy Dragon!"

It was entirely with the power and support of Noah that the super hybrid, the seventh generation of Augustus, was successfully born. He knelt on one knee in front of Noah.

The ancestral golden dragon bloodline, the Titan bloodline, and the human bloodline, which accounts for a not-so-low proportion, were mixed into one to create this hybrid in front of him, whose body was nearly forty meters tall even when kneeling on one knee on the ground.

"I don't need to go into too much detail. When you go to the West, you only need to do one thing, and that is to win victory for me!"

"I will bring victory and glory to your throne!"

The giant with dragon horns on his forehead raised his head, with flames burning in his eyes and dragon-python-like thunder wrapped around his body. Every inch and every millimeter interpreted the power and ancient beauty that could be born from the combination of the two supreme bloodlines.

"Well, let's go!"

Noah, who has already set his sights on beyond the plane, of course focuses on his native land where he resides for a long time. This is his base.

What's more, after looking at and personally visiting many planes, Noah was able to perceive the differences between the material planes.

Although there are relevant descriptions of this in the dragon clan's heritage, and the material world is divided into three levels, there are differences between even the same level of material world, and Noah can easily distinguish the differences.

The level division of the material world is very simple and crude, divided into three types of planes: large, medium and small.

The requirements for a small world are very simple. It only requires a complete ecosystem that can give birth to intelligent races and allow gods to spread faith. However, the minimum requirement is to be able to support the faith of a god.

If even these conditions are not met, such as there is no complete ecological environment, or no intelligent race is born, then it will be defined as a barbaric world, or a worthless incomplete plane.

The medium-sized plane above the small world can accommodate the existence of multiple intelligent races and support polytheism. The plane where Noah is located is a medium-sized world. However, among the medium-sized worlds, he is also an outstanding existence, a tall one among the short ones.

As for the big world, it is truly a super plane that is one in billions. It not only has the most perfect rules, but also has an extremely amazing carrying capacity.

Based on Noah's search in the inherited memories of the ancestral dragons, he learned that the real big world does not set restrictions on the combat power of the true god level. Even the gods themselves can move freely in it.

However, the number of big worlds is extremely small, and there are more small worlds as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges, and medium-sized planes that are one in a million.

"We cannot stop conquering foreign lands, and we cannot relax our local operations either!"

Noah knew that it was a bit unrealistic for him to attack the other planes before completely conquering the current plane, but compared to conquering the medium-sized planes, it would be safer to conquer a few small planes first.

The foundation of faith for many weak gods is a small plane. Because of its small area and single intelligent race, it is very easy to maintain faith in a single god. More importantly, there will be no other gods coming to compete, so the purity of faith can be maintained.

In comparison, the competition for faith in medium-sized planes is much more intense. Even with powerful divine powers, it is difficult to maintain faith in a single god, and it is difficult to monopolize it. It can only be shared with other gods.

"The number of dragon people is still too small. Do we need to issue an administrative order on fertility and encourage dragon people to have more children through policies?"

After the wars were broken out one after another, even though many vassals and slaves were recruited on many fronts, Noah still felt the pressure of the lack of dragon soldiers.

His original base was only this big. Although the iterative updates of farming methods and the support of goblin machinery allowed the dragons to allocate production resources more reasonably and create more population, his territory was only this big. Even if he had tried every trick, the upper limit was there. To this day, even if the newborn population in overseas colonies was counted, the number of dragons has not exceeded 10 million.

This population is far from enough for the situation Noah is facing now, which is to fight three overseas battles while expanding on the homeland.

That is to say, the dragon people have high basic qualities. As long as they reach adulthood, regardless of gender, they can join the army after a little training. Although they cannot join the formal battle group, they can join the auxiliary army and play their own role.

"There is absolutely no need for that. If basic welfare is achieved, who wouldn't have children? There is no need to urge births at all!"

The idea that had just been born was suppressed by Noah in the blink of an eye. He did not want to oppress his people in terms of reproductive life through administrative orders.

Not to mention that these dragon people were infected by his dragonization and possessed dragon blood, and had a great instinctive desire for reproduction. Even if they did not have that, as an ordinary intelligent race, as human beings, how could they not want to have many children and grandchildren?

As long as one has a spacious and bright enough house, does not need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and can guarantee that children can enjoy educational benefits above the standard after they are born, why would anyone not have children?

Only idiots don't give birth.

Under suitable environmental conditions, what kind of creature would suppress its reproductive instinct?

"Well, we should find a way to improve basic social welfare and improve the education and medical systems. This can be considered as a disguised way of promoting the birth of a new economy."

Noah made the final decision. He was ultimately unwilling to interfere with his people's reproductive wishes through administrative orders, but instead prepared to work on improving the environment of the Holy Dragon Land.

However, this is destined to be a long-term project. Even if you put in the effort, you won't see any results within three to five years. It will only take ten to twenty years to see the initial signs of success, and a hundred years to form a general trend.

When Noah lived in Elishim and coordinated everything, the elves who had integrated into the Holy Dragon's Golden Order through war had already arrived in the city of Elishim.

The atmosphere of the integration of all races and harmonious coexistence has begun to emerge in the Holy Dragon Land. Noah rarely imposes bans on races and prohibits certain races from entering his territory.

Of course, there are some exceptions, such as the mind flayers, kuo-toa, and sahuagin. Creatures that are considered to be evil races are not allowed to appear, unless in the form of corpses.

Under normal circumstances, any intelligent race recognized by the Metal Dragon Clan can enter and exit, but the traces of elves are relatively rare in Noah's territory, but they do exist. However, after the two wars, the number of elves appearing in the city of Elishim has increased significantly.

Noah cared little for the elves who chose to settle in Elysium, just as he cared little for the other races.

In the dragonization realm, any creature with a lower bloodline than him will eventually be assimilated. Even if he himself can resist temporarily, his descendants will eventually be transformed into dragons as long as they do not leave the scope of the dragonization realm.

"What an amazing bloodline power! I believe that he can be promoted to Dragon King directly with his own abilities!"

"How can it be so easy? How many Dragon Kings and Dragon Gods have there been in the history of the Dragon Clan?"

The elves, wearing hoods that cover their hair and pointed ears, were communicating with each other on the crowded streets. From time to time, they looked up at the surroundings with a look of amazement and curiosity.

"But even in the history of the dragon race, there is hardly a second dragon like this, right?"

"But there are no two dragon gods that are exactly the same. Among the dragons that can be deified, who is ordinary?"

"That's true."

"This dragon is too arrogant!"

"Isn't this good? This way there won't be a direct conflict between us and him."

"That's not necessarily true. It's impossible to give such a mechanical creation to mortals without any scruples."

The elf, with some golden hair falling from his hood, looked at a mechanical creation driving towards him with disgust. The hot steam spewing from the top of the mechanical creation, accompanied by a gust of wind blowing towards him, made him look even more disgusted.

"I really don't know what to say!"

"Isn't this a manifestation of his confidence? He is not worried that such a mechanical creation will threaten him."

"Sooner or later, he will realize his mistake and regret it."

"When that day comes, it will be none of our business."

"Don't waste time here, go visit him directly!"

Sitting on top of a high tower, a holy dragon like hovering in the sky lowered his eyes and looked at two figures, one tall and one short, that appeared silently in front of him. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was slender and beautiful. At first glance, they seemed to be a perfect match, made in heaven.

Elorian, the Lord of the Elves

Selena, goddess of nature
"A powerful god and a medium-powered god, why do you treat me like a thief? What are you afraid of?"

Noah looked at the two incarnations of gods in front of him with a teasing tone in his voice.

"I just don't want too many irrelevant people to know about today's conversation. I hope you can keep it secret."

Elorian spoke up.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Noah remained noncommittal and made no promises, but instead asked about his purpose.

"I want to change my name and become the God of Dawn."

"Morning light? You are also going to set foot in the solar realm."

Noah immediately understood that there had never been a sun god in the elven pantheon, so he wanted to take the opportunity to seize part of the sun god's duties.
