Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 451: The Path of the Savior, the Wrath of the Blazing God

"Even if you tried, you might become stronger, but you would never become a dragon king."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Noah turned his inquiring eyes to Odin, seeking answers from the former king of gods.

"I don't know much about the path you're taking, but I do know one thing: the key to becoming a Dragon King is to obtain the world's source of power, not anything else."

"Source power?!"

Noah realized that the ultimate goal of the road to destruction shown to him by the Black King was to plunder the world's source of power and obtain this mysterious power of creation that could transform the mortal into the immortal.

"Yes, this is the root power that keeps the world running, allows all things to multiply, and allows all races to survive. Only by obtaining this power can you become the Dragon King."

"Must the world be destroyed to gain this power?"

Noah said confused.

"Of course not. I heard that saving the world is fine."

"Save the world? How?"

There was a weird look in Noah's eyes. It sounded so simple, but how to do it specifically?

Just like at the beginning, he knew that he could be promoted to Dragon King by devouring the world, but how could he devour the world? It was not until the Black King revealed everything to him that Noah knew how to go on this path.

But now Odin tells him that he can gain source power by saving the world and then be promoted to Dragon King. How should he do it specifically?

You know, beings of his level are basically not tolerated by any other world except their own home world, because they are too destructive.

Of course, Noah found that his existence was quite special. When he entered other worlds, there was almost no rejection or suppression. At least Noah could not feel any targeting from the will of the world.

But the question is, even if he can enter other worlds, what does it matter? Why should the world divide the fundamental source of power that maintains its operation to him?

What you need to know is that the world will has no self-thinking, and allowing a will without any ideas to actively split the origin is contrary to its instinct.

Only wisdom can fight against the suppressed instinct. When the world will possesses independent thoughts similar to those of intelligent races and is able to make decisions, it can actively divide the origin.

But in order for the world's will to have its own thinking and ability to think, the world must enter a state of being on the verge of destruction. At this point, the world is almost certain to be destroyed, and the world's foundation has been almost consumed.

Even if it is saved, will there be enough power to split it? The world is already on the verge of destruction. Even if it is successfully saved, how much better can it be? If the source of power that maintains its existence is further divided, wouldn't it be even more hopeless? It is better not to save it.

How to save the world? What kind of world should be saved? After saving the world, how to obtain the source of power from the world's will? There is no way to know all the tricks. Noah only knows the result. He is completely confused.

"If I knew, I wouldn't be thinking about how to return to the throne now."

In response to Noah's question, Odin gave a very logical answer. If the former king of gods knew a more perfect path to start over again, he would naturally not walk the same path he had walked before.

In other words, he knew that this road was destined to be full of thorns and difficult to walk on, and was far inferior to the road he had already reached the peak, which was much smoother and more seamless.

"World source power!"

Noah began to think that this was the key to becoming the Dragon King. Only by obtaining the source of power could he complete the final transformation.

The currently known way to obtain the source of power is to destroy the world, and Odin revealed to him the way to save the world. Destroying the world is not a feasible way, it is destined to be a dead end, even if it succeeds temporarily, the final outcome is destined to be miserable.

But Noah was completely clueless about how to become a savior and obtain source power as a savior. You know, there are not many worlds that really need to be saved, because the world usually has the ability to save itself.

The invasion of the Abyss and Hell was indeed the culprit for the fall of many worlds, but even for Hell, if one out of ten invasions could yield effective results, it would be good enough. As for the Abyss, it was even worse, and it was simply unbearable to watch.

The greatest source of destruction can only go so far, so finding a world on the verge of destruction is a difficult task.

Secondly, a world on the verge of destruction must be of a certain scale, because if an ordinary small world is tossed to such an extent, even if the world will is willing, there is no way to divide the source power, because it will be almost exhausted, with not a drop left.

It's like saving a beggar. Can you expect him to give you money as a reward? He still needs the money to buy food for tomorrow's survival. It's impossible to give it to him.

But how do you pick out the “rich women” in a world on the verge of destruction?
This is another paradox, because the material world with sufficient source power does not need any assistance from external forces. The amount of source power represents the strength of self-rescue ability. The world will can mass-produce saviors by consuming source power, and can resist external invasions by itself, so there is no risk of destruction.

The best way, naturally, is to find a world that is on the verge of destruction but still has some reserves, and obtain source power by saving such a world.

But theory is theory, how to implement it in practice? This is much more difficult than the road to destroying the world. Destroying the world to obtain source power, as long as the first step is completed, by devouring the mother world, after promotion, and then destroying more worlds, it is not that difficult in terms of just finding a suitable target.

Noah thought over and over but still couldn't find the right answer. Maybe he was missing key information, or maybe this road was inherently difficult, and this was also the biggest hurdle in becoming the Immortal Dragon King.

"Seraphim!"

If you can't find the answer by yourself, then go find someone who may know the answer and ask him. After Noah counted the many beings he knew, he finally thought of his father-in-law in heaven.

Bai Huang, the Lord of Mountains and Rivers in the World of Time and Space, is still working with Odin, who goes by the alias Alphard, to collect more Black King sets.

Although it is basically certain that even if all the bones of the Black King are collected, it is unlikely that he will be promoted to the Dragon King. At most, it will only make him stronger and have a more massive dragon body, but isn’t that enough?
When the White Emperor was taking action, Noah's body was also taking action. He contacted Ophelia in heaven.

"The war in Iliad should be over, right?"

"What's wrong? Do you want Elijah back to you now? He has only been gone for a short time, and you have kept Elijah by your side for such a long time."

Ophelia was obviously a little stressed when she heard Noah's question that broke the conversation. Her expression showed vigilance and hostility, just like a child protecting her child... Well, Noah stopped thinking.

"I'm just asking you, if you can't bear to see Elijah leave you, you can let him stay with you for a while.

But I also hope that we won’t restrict him, but respect his own choices and give him enough freedom.”

"I know how to do it. I don't need you to teach me."

"That's natural."

Noah was silent for a while, and when Ophelia's expression showed a little impatience,

"I have something I want to ask you. To be more precise, I want to consult your father, Lord Solophis!" "You want to find my father? What do you want to ask?"

Ophelia, who originally had a bit of vigilance and hostility on her face, was stunned for a moment, then a look of interest appeared on her face, and she asked excitedly.

"I want to know, how to obtain the world's source power?"

Facing his partner, Noah did not hide anything and expressed his greatest confusion and distress.

"World source power?"

The angel frowned her beautiful platinum eyebrows. Apparently, the question Noah mentioned touched upon her blind spot. However, judging from her expression, she was not completely ignorant of this and had some understanding of it.

“I don’t know much about this, but I can tell you that although my father is not a god, he is different from the Dragon King of your dragon clan.

If you want to ask my father how to obtain the world's source of power, he may not be able to give you a satisfactory answer. But he definitely knows more than me, I will ask for you. "

"That would be perfect."

After hearing Ophelia's promise, Noah relaxed a little, even though he had not yet gotten the answer he wanted.

At least there is someone to ask, instead of being in a state of complete ignorance. You don't have to be in the dark and run around like a headless fly.

"You can come to the heaven and ask my father in person. My father has been waiting for you for a long time."

Noah looked relieved, but Ophelia smiled and changed her look to a teasing one.

"After I am promoted to Dragon King, I will definitely visit Lord Solophis in person."

"Why don't you come now? I can guarantee that as long as you come to the heaven, my father will definitely keep you safe!"

The angel frowned again, expressing his dissatisfaction with Noah in this regard.

She has become Noah's partner, and they have also given birth to a child. They have established such a relationship, but her partner and her father have never met formally. How can this be?

"I am afraid!"

Noah confessed with unusual sincerity.

He was really afraid of Ophelia's father, one of the most powerful seraphs in the heavens, and he also had some psychological trauma towards this seraph father-in-law.

Because he had basically not suffered any serious crime since he was born, and the few times he suffered, the most memorable one was the special training from his adoptive father, and the second was when this old father-in-law Chitian robbed him on his way back from visiting the angels.

That is a painful memory that Noah can never forget. No matter how many times he recalls it, he is still frightened because he can't see any hope of leaving on his own. If his adoptive father hadn't stopped him, Noah wouldn't know how he would have been able to return.

Although based on his relationship with Ophelia and the temper of this Seraph, even if his adoptive father didn't come, he would most likely suffer a lot and would eventually come back.

But that is just one possibility. Another possibility is that he was captured by the Seraph God and brought to heaven, where he became a son-in-law. If so, his fate might take a major turn because of this, which is not impossible.

Because of this, even though Ophelia had made it clear many times that she hoped Noah would go to heaven to meet her father, Noah refused to do so and repeatedly stated that he would wait until he was promoted to Dragon King before going.

However, Ophelia saw such a response as perfunctory and coping. She thought that Noah had no sincerity and had established such a relationship with her but was still unwilling to meet her father.

"Afraid? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of what my father will do to you? You underestimate my father too much!"

Faced with Noah's confession, Ophelia became even angrier, because she thought Noah was looking down on her father. How could her father do anything out of line?

"You probably don't know this, but your father once taught me a lesson, and I still remember it vividly."

"Taught you a lesson? Have you met my father?"

"Of course I have, but we didn't meet in person. Your father intercepted me."

"When did this happen?"

"It was when I left my homeland for the first time and was returning to meet you."

Noah looked at the angel's changing expression and had to make a statement.
"I am not telling you this to complain to you. I am just explaining to you why I don't want to go to the heaven. However, I still respect your father, so you don't need to ask Lord Solophis anything. Just ask the source of the world for me."

"What did my father do to you after he intercepted you?"

In fact, we don't need to ask to know that it must be something excessive, otherwise why would Noah be so resistant to going to heaven and repeatedly stated that he would go there after becoming the Dragon King.

"It's over. It's okay."

"Tell me what he did to you!"

Ophelia's tone became sharp. She was very angry and extremely dissatisfied, but these emotions were not directed at Noah.

"I didn't do anything. Master Solophis helped me improve and perfect my dragon fighting skills. I am actually very grateful to Master Solophis."

"Well, I'll ask my father what you want to know."

Without asking Noah for the details of what happened, the answer was obvious. Ophelia, who was furious, interrupted the communication under Noah's somewhat annoyed look.

"Hey, why should I tell her this? I'm really asking for trouble!"

The angel's reaction was somewhat beyond Noah's expectations and also made Noah feel something was wrong.

It didn't take long for Noah's premonition to come true. Just less than a day after the communication with Ophelia was interrupted, a huge and majestic wave cut through the sky.

It was a spear, projected from the distant heaven, ignoring all obstacles and piercing through the maze that enveloped Elisim.

However, this divine spear that was powerful enough to raze a city to the ground restrained all its overflowing power as it approached, and simply broke through all obstacles in front of Noah and pierced the ground in front of Noah.
