Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 481 Devour, Replace, Incarnate
"What happened to father?"

No longer the Ice Princess, but Skadilo, known as the Lord of Winter, looked up at his father who had turned into a red sun in the temple with amazement.

"Dragon King! Father is being promoted to Dragon King!"

Telramus, who was also present, looked up at his father, who had rarely revealed his true form since the construction of the Temple of God, and his eyes unconsciously revealed admiration and yearning.

"Dragon King!"

Although this is very exciting and joyful news, because his biological father is being promoted to an immortal being, he will have the qualifications to talk to the gods on an equal footing and even look down on the gods.

But everyone present is no longer the youngster they were back then. Each of them is a commander of an expeditionary force that has ruled over a region and conquered more than one world.

As a commander, the most basic strategic vision is that their father, as the core of the Golden Order, is indispensable and irreplaceable.

Now that their father has been promoted to Dragon King and has fallen into a deep sleep, who will replace their father and intimidate those dissatisfied gods and the evil demons that are ready to make moves in the void?

"Your Highnesses, the grand ceremony is about to begin. Who will conduct the ceremony now?"

Although they tried to block the news in the early days, the once-in-a-decade sacrifice is approaching, and the fairies can no longer continue. They choose to pull in the three descendants of His Majesty the Holy Dragon and throw this difficult problem to them to solve.

Hearing the goblins' questions, Telramus and Skadilo naturally turned their eyes to their eldest brother. Facing the gazes of his younger brother and sister, even Iliad, who knew it was inappropriate, had to bite the bullet and agree.

Because apart from his father, there is indeed no one more suitable than him in terms of identity. However, Elijah knows very well that once he appears in the Temple of God and supports the sacrificial ceremony on behalf of his father, it will definitely cause a lot of dissatisfaction and even riots. He cannot bear such glory now.

But now that my father has fallen asleep, the grand ceremony must be held. If he doesn't go, who will? Or should we cancel the grand ceremony? It would be better to just go ahead and hold it.

Every sacrificial ceremony can help his father take a step further on the road to becoming the Dragon King. This is common sense that the descendants of Noah must master. This is also the purpose of their launching the Great Expedition.

The fact was just as Eliade had expected. When he appeared at the altar of heaven in place of his father, the leaders of the war groups, governors of the planes, envoys and monarchs of all nations who had come to attack with many treasures in accordance with convention all widened their eyes. Many noisy voices of criticism suddenly surged in from all directions like a tide.

However, as the eldest son of the Holy Dragon, he was still able to support a sacrifice. Therefore, although there were many dragon war groups and many true blood followers below who were dissatisfied, they only complained verbally.
These dragons did not take any action, and as for the envoys and monarchs of the vassal states who came to pay homage, they had no right to complain.

The dragon people's dissatisfaction was not because this sacrifice was supported by a being other than the Holy Dragon. It was naturally enough for a sacrifice to be held by the Holy Dragon's eldest son. The real reason for their dissatisfaction was that they did not see the Holy Dragon with their own eyes.

Such dissatisfaction accompanied the appearance of Eliade, the formal holding of the sacrifice, the revival of the world will, the collection of sacrifices, and when the world will gave feedback, the mood of dissatisfaction reached its peak at this moment.

"Where is His Majesty the Holy Dragon?"

"We want to see His Majesty Noah!"

At the moment when the world will gave feedback, although they could neither see nor feel the arrival of the source energy, they could feel the existence of a ray of source energy, which was a glorious sun hidden inside the temple.

Holy Dragon Noah
When the dragons who came to pay homage were filled with indignation and their emotions became increasingly high and passionate, an invisible field unfolded, reaching far away and suppressing the entire audience.

"Father!"

Even though he had stepped onto the plane battlefield many times and presided over more than one plane-level war, Iliad was still extremely exhausted at this moment. He looked up at the temple in front of him with surprise and joy.

Crimson rays of light burst out from the temple, and two thick dragon whiskers that seemed to be dancing in the wind were the first to appear. An ordinary golden dragon that had not yet reached adulthood was probably not as long as these two whiskers.

The lower jaw, which was shining with metallic luster and emitting the radiance of immortal gold, immediately stretched out. When the complete upper and lower jaws appeared, the sky and the earth had fallen into absolute silence. All the spirits prostrated themselves, including the noisy dragon people before. They were the first to bow down, because the supreme majesty had descended.

At random, the dragon head, as majestic as an immortal mountain, slowly stretched out. On both sides of the dragon's gills, fine golden scales burning with raging flames appeared. Each scale was several meters in diameter, and blood-like flames were also surging in it. Such flames filled every part of the dragon's body, even on the dragon's whiskers, there was also such flames burning.

On the golden dragon's forehead, six dragon horns extend in different directions, as rugged and rugged as mountain peaks. It is the supreme crown symbolizing the supreme bloodline of the dragon clan.

It's a pity that the crowned man now has his eyes closed and has not opened them. The being who stuck his head out of the temple is still in a sleeping state. But even so, the majesty that permeates as he sticks his head out suppresses and eliminates all dissatisfaction.

"How is this going?"

Elijah found that his father was still asleep, and his eyes showed deep vigilance and alertness. He began to look around, looking for possible danger.

According to his knowledge, his father is different from most dragons. Even when he is sleeping, his dragon body can react and fight back autonomously when threatened. However, this is only true when he is threatened. Under normal circumstances, he will remain motionless to reduce consumption.

But now he didn't see any threat at all, but his father's dragon body still moved. This was a little unreasonable and inconsistent with the previous situation.

Just as Elijah was on guard, the body of Noah, which had poked its head out of the Temple of Heaven, did not stop. More huge dragon bodies appeared from the temple. Soon, when the glorious dragon wings spread out over the temple, everything was covered by the dragon wings.

"Father!"

Even the most dull-witted person could sense that something was amiss. The many vassal monarchs who came to pay homage and offer tributes watched as this supreme being in the dragon world remained asleep with his eyes closed, as if sleepwalking, before spreading his wings and dragging his winding body to soar towards the top of the sky.

In the dragon world, Noah, who is favored by the world's will and nourished by source energy, is the true supreme and a unique existence. Therefore, even if Noah's consciousness falls asleep, his dragon body is still unstoppable.

No one could stop Noah's dragon body from moving. At the sacrificial field, which gathered nearly a hundred commanders of the material world and rulers of all nations, tens of thousands of monarchs, ministers, commanders and generals of extraordinary status watched helplessly as the sacred and supreme Holy Dragon flew towards the sun. What did the Holy Dragon want to do?
This is the biggest and most numerous confusion that arises in the minds of the living beings who have witnessed all this at this moment.

They didn't understand what this supreme being who seemed to be in a deep sleep was trying to do. Even his descendants didn't know what his purpose was.

Judging from his condition, the father's consciousness has fallen asleep, and it is his instincts that now control his body.

So what does a being that attempts to ascend to the Dragon King need most?
The answer was soon revealed, because the golden holy dragon, soaring to the highest point in the sky and about to touch the sun, opened its dragon mouth wide and opened its mouth towards the sun, as if swallowing it.

This was an extremely ridiculous scene in terms of size. A tiny creature with a body of only a few hundred meters actually wanted to swallow the sun. But no one who witnessed this could laugh, because the sun's light was really gradually dimming.

The dark dragon-shaped shadow was spreading across the sun. As long as one was in the dragon realm, no matter where the creatures were, as long as they looked up, they could see the sun being eroded and gradually dimming.

This scene was like the end of the world, the final moment was about to come. However, many dragon people who had long been eroded by Noah's dragon domain looked up at the unprecedented vision in the sky, but they did not feel any panic or fear in their hearts. Instead, they felt an unprecedented excitement and expectation.

Because every dragon citizen who looked up at the sky could clearly feel that the one who was devouring the sun was none other than the Holy Dragon whom they worshipped.

Then naturally there is nothing to worry about. It is just the loss of the sun, which is nothing compared to the eternal existence of His Majesty Noah.

Besides, with His Majesty Noah's kindness and mercy, how could he allow them to suffer the pain of losing the sun?

"Your Majesty, is this eating the sun?"

The majesty from the Holy Dragon had disappeared, or had faded to the point where it could be almost ignored. When the dragon-man stood up from the crawling position and looked up at the sky, he immediately saw an extremely shocking scene.

"It's incredible!"

"Is this kind of thing possible?"

This was definitely a scene that was beyond the comprehension of creatures in the material world. Even the deifiers who possessed the qualifications to ascend to the gods, and the demigods who inherited part of the gods' power, found it difficult to comprehend such a thing.

That's the sun, how can we swallow it like food? It's the source of faith and power of the true God!
But now, under the watchful eyes of billions of creatures, there is a dragon that is devouring the sun bit by bit, gradually swallowing it into its stomach. However, as the world slowly falls into darkness, the Sun-Eating Dragon itself is gradually shining brighter.

In the end, when the sun's light completely disappeared and the creatures on the earth could no longer see that extremely familiar celestial body, a golden holy dragon that spanned the sky and was still hovering high in the sky was shining with unprecedented light.

The world did not enter a dark age because of the disappearance of the sun, but the sky became a little dimmer. When the Sun-Devouring Dragon burst into light, all the light that had just been deprived was returned again, as if there was no difference, except that the existence that released infinite light shifted from an unconscious celestial body to an individual with self-awareness.

Soon, the giant dragon flying in the highest point of the sky coiled in one place and truly transformed into the Holy Dragon Sun. It began to fulfill its duties as the sun, illuminating all things on earth.

"Father, did you eat the sun?"

Although the sky was still bright, the three siblings could clearly sense the difference in the light. However, no one cared about it at the moment. They were still shocked by the fact that the sun was eaten by their father. They were not prepared for such a thing.

The three brothers and sisters who were his own descendants were in such a state, how could the rest of the dragon people be any better? They were all dumbfounded.

Although there were extremely crazy dragon people who shouted slogans that they would rather lose the sun than lose His Majesty the Holy Dragon, but actually seeing the Holy Dragon swallow a sun is another matter.

What kind of magnanimity is this? What kind of terrifying power is this, that it can even swallow the sun.

However, only those immortal beings who are truly at a higher level and have noticed this matter can realize the horror of it.

That is, from beginning to end, the world will did not respond to this at all. Even the sun itself was very quiet and accepted the fate of being eaten.

In the end, the dragon that ate the sun naturally transformed into the sun, following the sun's trajectory and moving along the sun's celestial orbit.

The information revealed in it is really terrifying. The world's will is so tolerant and doting on this dragon that it actually allows it to swallow the sun, making it an indispensable and most important part of the world's operating rules and order.

However, the culprit who did all this was completely unaware of it, or it could be said that he was unaware of it.

Because after eating the King of Ascension Fruit, Noah threw everything to the instinct of his body, continued to sink his consciousness into the sea of ​​the origin of the world, and felt the magnificent and moving beauty of the root rules.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't feel anything. Noah could still sense that his body seemed to have swallowed up something extremely powerful.

But Noah didn't care. As the emperor who ruled over dozens of golden dragons, it was very normal for his followers to find some treasures offered to him during his sleeping state. It was not surprising, let alone surprising.

"Hiss~ What's going on?"

Noah soon realized that something was wrong, because he found that the food he swallowed seemed to give him infinite strength and endless support.

Especially when he was comprehending the root rules related to the sun, all the root rules were open to him without reservation, and they were extremely proactive in throwing themselves at him, so enthusiastic that Noah was a little overwhelmed.
