Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 454: All nations come to pay tribute to the Holy Dragon, offer sacrifices to the gods, and the destiny comes

"Sacrifice to the Heaven? What does that mean? Who is the Heaven?"

In the Holy Kingdom of Westland, on the continent of Selandis, in the Holy Light Palace of Pala, the red-robed archbishops and many ministers were seated. The theocracy and the monarchy, who had argued endlessly over many issues in the past, were now troubled by the same problem.

That was a request made by the dragon monarch from the distant other continent. As one of the most powerful countries on the continent, the Kingdom of Westland was initially prepared to fight to the end when faced with the threat of the dragon army.

Because their kingdom is a holy country, they believe in and worship many powerful and righteous gods, and when they receive many oracles advising believers not to participate in this secular unification war, the theocracy, without gods to rely on, quickly changes its stance and becomes a peace party, or a surrender party.

When the gods have made it clear that they will not intervene, facing the ancient metal dragon hovering overhead, even if the war faction wants to show their martyrdom and threatens to demonstrate the kingdom's spirit of resistance against power, they will be quickly suppressed by other people who value life.

They were the metal dragons, not the ferocious and brutal color dragons. Submission to the metal dragons was a little embarrassing, but the actual loss was not much.

This is indeed the case. After they surrendered to the holy dragon who called himself the Golden Sun, that holy dragon did not send any dragons to interfere in their internal affairs. The king was still the king, the nobles were still the nobles, and the power structure did not change at all.

The dragons only asked them to submit and pay tribute every year. For the Kingdom of Westland, which was already prepared to surrender, such demands were terribly low.

It was just a tribute, which was much better than they had expected. The Metal Dragons were also Dragons, and their inherent greed was no different from that of the Color Dragons.

Therefore, when the minister in charge of the negotiations heard the request, he agreed without hesitation. However, he did not expect that not long after, the order from the Holy Dragon arrived again.

This time, they were required to prepare sacrifices to God, which had to be rare and precious. As for how precious the sacrifices had to be, it was up to them to decide.

"No matter which god is above, sacrifices must be prepared!"

"Even if it's an evil god, it doesn't matter? Then what has become of our Holy Kingdom?"

"It's a meaningless assumption. They are a clan of metal dragons. If the dragons had gone mad and planned to sacrifice an evil god, there would not have been an oracle in the first place."

"That's right. Shang Cang can't be an evil god. Perhaps he is a righteous god, a god from the dragon clan."

The opinions of many theocratic bishops and ministers of the kingdom quickly converged, but the young monarch sitting on the throne remained silent.

There was no crown on his head, nor a scepter in his hand, because since the advent of the Holy Dragon, these symbols of the kingdom's submission to the Holy Dragon had been handed over.

Of course, it doesn’t make much difference whether there is one or not. In such a country, the king is just a symbol or decoration, and his actual power is pitifully weak and limited to the vicinity of the royal city.

When this group of guys come to a conclusion, he will probably be the one to actually carry it out, because tribute requires the monarch to go in person.

"A true dragon god, what kind of sacrifice should we offer?"

"Aren't the dragon clan's requirements clear enough? The rarer, the better."

"Oh, then why don't you offer up your family's most precious treasure."

"This is a request for the kingdom, not for our family!"

"Then what else is there to say?"

Under external pressure, the barely united monarchists and theocrats started quarreling again.

"Are you still arguing at this time? Haven't you ever thought that this is a test from the Holy Dragon? We are given so much freedom to choose. If we don't bring out treasures that match our kingdom, but instead let other kingdoms bring out more precious treasures, what do you think the dragons will do?"

A cardinal sitting at the top frowned and knocked on the table impatiently.

"Can he destroy our holy kingdom? We are a kingdom protected by the gods."

The Minister of Finance squirmed his fat body with some dissatisfaction and frowned, saying that he was most reluctant to hear about offering any treasures, because the cost would ultimately be borne by the kingdom and he would have to solve the final trouble.

"Of course the kingdom will not be destroyed, but there is no problem in executing you fools who disrespect the dignity of the dragon race in the name of disrespect."

"Are you kidding me?"

"This is not a joke. I have already inquired about it. It is not just our Holy Kingdom that has received the request. All countries that surrender to the Holy Dragon need to prepare sacrifices for the priest God. They can choose by themselves just like us, but they must show respect for the Holy Dragon and God."

"This is a screening and also a test. Don't try to cheat or play tricks on us. The dragon clan only asks us to pay tribute, perhaps for this reason.

If anyone dares to look down on the dragon race, he will probably face the wrath of the Holy Dragon. You have also seen how powerful that Holy Dragon is, and you don't want him to appear in the kingdom's sky again, right?"

"You're right."

"In this case, we can offer several treasures to show our respect for the Holy Dragon and God."

"I don't think it's good. We can't have too many. This is only the first sacrifice. Once the sacrifice begins, it won't just happen once."

"But what if it's less than other kingdoms? That would also be disrespectful."

"Perhaps we can contact them and see what they are prepared to offer, and we can come to an agreement in secret."

"Even if you know, what does it matter? If they tell you, do you dare to believe it? Are you sure that those countries will do what they say? What if they are deceiving you?"

There is no absolute trust between countries, only many suspicions. When no one dares to trust the other, facing the same demands, both big and small countries will quarrel endlessly.

But no matter what the outcome of the argument is, as long as the room is not full of idiots, they will eventually offer treasures that are rare enough within their capabilities.

Such a result was considered good for Noah. He wanted to collect treasures from all nations, become the guardian of the world, and hold a grand sacrificial ceremony.

However, collecting treasures in the world and offering them to the world's will was somewhat teasing, and these were only worthy of being sacrificed. What Noah really cared about was the world conquered by the Dragon Man War Group, where he searched for enough treasures and offered them to the world's will.

"After all, I am the one I can rely on the most!"

In the magnificent space-time magic array, energy tides powerful enough to tear the void apart surge within it, operating along a predetermined route and connecting the two worlds separated by long time and space.

hum~
As time and space trembled, an ancient and dark dragon spear gradually emerged. On the black spear body, blood patterns with an ominous color spread.

Black Abyss Spear

This is the sacrifice Noah prepared for himself. A treasure of this magnitude will surely be favored by the will of the world. This is a weapon forged from the remains of the Dragon King.

This weapon, which contains the will of the Dragon King of Destruction, is extremely poisonous to any intelligent creature if eaten, a pity to discard, and even more idiotic to use. However, it can be used as a sacrifice to the world, which is simply perfect.

The world's will must like the residual soul of the Black King contained therein, and his bones are also delicious.

As for the question of whether the world can be digested, that is not a problem. When gods face a complete material world, they will be suppressed, even the smallest material world. What's more, if the incomplete Dragon King who has fallen is really to be offered as a sacrifice, there will be no surprises.

hum~
When the complete Black Abyss Spear emerged, the time and space teleportation array did not stop, because Noah not only prepared this one, but when he conquered the world, his clones also did not stop their activities and were dedicated to collecting the Black King Set.

Claws of Death, Nether Walker, Shackles of Dark Shadows… five sets of Black King suits appeared in succession, totaling six sets of Black King suits, a number that no one has ever collected in the history of the world of time and space.

However, it is not surprising that an ancestral golden dragon and a reincarnated God King can achieve such a level by joining forces. It is commonplace and just normal performance.

"It would be unreasonable if there were no special rewards for such a sacrifice."

Noah looked at the six pieces of armor containing the power of the Dragon King in front of him, and satisfaction appeared in his eyes, because according to Odin's evaluation, the power unleashed by these six Black King suits combined together is enough to be comparable to an ordinary real artifact.

Unfortunately, the best way to deal with such a special weapon is to use it as a sacrifice to the world. As for personal use, there is no telling when it may fall into a pit.

……

The majestic and towering altar reached the top of the clouds, stunning every envoy and monarch who came to pay tribute in accordance with the Holy Dragon's order. They couldn't help but marvel at it, because the altar before them was made of mountain stone, and as for the highest level, it was difficult for ordinary mortals to look up and could not see its top.

“Such a huge building was reportedly built in less than ten days.”

"Is this the power of the Holy Dragon?"

"What a terrifying power!"

Everyone was amazed when they saw with their own eyes the altar that was said to have been prepared by the Holy Dragon to offer sacrifices to the gods. Even the legends were filled with awe.

Those kingdoms with thousands of years of history could build such a wonder if they gathered all their strength. But the problem was that the holy dragon only took ten days to move mountains and turn stones to create such a wonder. The power displayed in this was far more terrifying than destruction.

This is how the world is changed. Even if it is a god, can it be stronger than this? It is probably impossible. All forces with a solid heritage know that the power that gods can show in the material world is limited.

Noah did not prepare too many red tapes, because he did not need them. He conquered the world, making all nations and races in the five continents and even in the vast oceans submit to his dragon wings and acknowledge his ruling position.

All of this is to guide the will of the world, and as the world's co-lord, he collects sacrifices from all nations, plus the many treasures and resources he has plundered from outside the world, and uses the Black King suit as the main sacrifice to sacrifice to the world's will, thereby ascending to the position of guardian of the world. A guardian with such achievements is by no means comparable to ordinary guardians.

Boom~
When the sun in the material world hangs high in the sky, the golden sun descends on the top of the altar. The brilliant light that bursts out in an instant makes the big sun in the sky dim and lose its sense of existence. It becomes the only one and the core of this world.

Noah did not hold back his body, but unscrupulously displayed his huge dragon body of nearly 200 meters. Even the highest level of the altar was enough to support his body at the moment. This was the place he prepared for himself to worship the heaven in just ten days.

The only thing he needs now is the recognition of the world's will, and then gradually gain the favor and even dependence of the world's will, and finally gain the authority to control the source of the world.

As for becoming the master of the world, which is the ultimate goal, Noah has roughly judged that even if he becomes the Dragon King, he will not be able to control the mother world. The gap between them is so big that it is unreasonable.

Perhaps only the Titan Creator described by the Elf God, who has reached this level, can fully control the material world.

Noah, hanging above the altar, was already at the top of the world, ignoring the thunderous shouts from his relatives and vassals below.

"Your Majesty the Holy Dragon is eternal and immortal!"

"The common ruler of the world, respected by all races!"

"May the light of the golden sun always bless the dragon people!"

No matter how loud and noisy these sounds are, to Noah at this moment, they are nothing more than the buzzing of mosquitoes. The ancestral golden dragon raised his head and gazed at the sky. He could sense that wisps of omnipresent, seemingly subtle, invisible will were converging and gradually expanding, becoming more and more massive, like hundreds of rivers converging to form a vast ocean.

Without any dimensional war happening, Noah, with his own strength, alarmed the will of the world and officially paid attention to him. It was a will without sadness or joy, with neither emotion nor thought.

The way He looks at Noah is no different than the way He looks at the bricks and stones beneath Noah. This is the will of the world under normal circumstances. To Him, there is no difference among all living beings in the world.

However, when Noah slowly spread his wings, the space trembled, and the void seemed to collapse, melt and burn. The revived and condensed will of the world immediately fell on Noah and underwent different changes.

"I will contribute all my strength to lead my country, command my army, lead all races and countries that submit to me to protect the world, and lead all things in the world to prosperity..."

When Noah felt this invisible but omnipresent will touching him, he immediately released his will and expressed his determination.

"I offer my treasures and treasures to you, may you be eternal and prosperous..."

No matter how resolute the will is, it cannot withstand the efforts of actual action. When Noah placed the Black King Suit on the altar, the Supreme Will, which originally had no thoughts, possessed emotions.
