Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 497 Lord of Death, God of Machinery, Goddess of Wealth
"The light of dawn pierces the darkness, brings the dawn to all living things on earth, and leads those with courage to the light..."

While Noah was gazing at his eldest son, who was glowing with divine radiance, he was finalizing the holy words for this offspring, or more precisely, defining the scope of his divine authority and priesthood.

But every word Noah said, and even every word in it, was a provocation to more than one god, enough to easily attract the hostile gaze of the gods.

"That's enough, Father. That's enough."

Seeing that his father was about to continue speaking, Eliade, with a tingling scalp, hurried forward to stop him. Even if he was only following the holy words that his father had currently declared, he had already violated the priesthood of many powerful gods.

Although as a descendant of Seraphim, if he slightly infringes upon the priesthood of a powerful god, he will not be held accountable, and his grandfather still has this face. However, if he goes too far, he will inevitably encounter some unpredictable things.

The righteous gods in heaven are not the evil gods in the abyss of hell. As good gods, they still have a high degree of tolerance and compassion. But as gods, it is their instinct to maintain their own divine authority and priesthood. When it comes to the fundamentals, no matter how good-tempered the gods are, they will not give in.

"Isn't this your own choice? Holiness, light, and courage. I formulated the Holy Word for you according to your ideas and requirements.

Since you have already embarked on the path to becoming a god, then don't be polite. What's the point of being so timid? How can you become a powerful god like this?"

Seeing his eldest son's expression, Noah felt a little disappointed.

"Father, I never said I wanted to become a powerful god. I just wanted to be able to hold the throne high and become a god."

Eliade said he was very content and did not have strong ambitions or desires.

"Even if I become a weak divine power, are you willing?"

"Even if it's just a tiny, weak divine power, it's still a true god. Why should I be dissatisfied?"

"Should I praise your mentality, or scold you for having no ambition at all?"

Hearing his son's question, Noah couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't you know the status of weak divine powers among the gods? In any gathering of gods of a certain size, weak divine powers can only become a background board. They don't even have the qualifications to speak. They can only be arranged."

"But I have you, my father, and my grandfather. No god will look down on me."

"That's hard to say. Besides, you've already become a true god. Are you still planning to become a burden? You should take care of your brothers and sisters, as well as your nephews and nieces. You should find ways to fight for everything you deserve, instead of taking it for granted to enjoy the arrangements made by your grandfather and me."

"...I will aim to become a mid-level god."

"You should aim to become a great divine power, and pursue powerful divine power."

"Great divine power? There has been no record of the appearance of great divine power in our void realm for a long time."

When Elijah heard the goal his father set for him, he could only smile bitterly.

"Before your father was promoted to Dragon King, there was no record of any epic for a long time. Don't look at what the predecessors did, but look at what you do. If others can't do it, do you think you can't do it? There is no such thing in the world, and there is no such reason."

Noah said earnestly, although he was scolding, he was helpless in his heart. Although the eldest son was good in everything, he was too good-natured and was unwilling to argue with other gods.

It's not that Eliade is without ambition, but he doesn't want his ambition to hurt the gods he knows. Because of his mother, Eliade now often runs between Noah and heaven.

In the activities of the heavens, because of his family background, he came into contact with many gods. It was because of the contact with these gods that Eliade made the choice of the divine realm.

But now Eliade finds that there are some problems with his choice. Once he continues to go deeper into the field he has chosen and reaches Noah's requirements to become a powerful divine power, he will definitely turn against the gods he knows.

For the sake of Seraph, the gods in heaven could give him a small share of their priesthood, but no one could give up the priesthood that supports the existence of such a powerful god, unless they no longer wanted to be a god.

"I'll try my best."

Faced with his father's urging, Eliade could only answer in this way.

"Not only work hard, your brother and nephew are watching you, you must go all out and set an example for them. The graduates of the Dragon Academy and the dragons of the chapter are already preaching to you, you can't let their efforts go to waste."

Noah was not simply setting lofty goals for his firstborn son, but rather, the deified could establish their position among the gods when they were promoted to deity.

Most of the people who ascended to the Gods, even if they succeeded by chance and ascended to the throne, only had weak divine power. At this point, they were almost doomed, and it would be difficult for them to improve in the future.

The gods who really have the potential to continue to ascend will at least be of weak divine power after the success of the Conferred God. It is not impossible for them to ascend to the heavens in one step and become medium or even powerful divine powers. There are examples in history.

The key to everything lies in the struggle for the priesthood. Of course, the accumulation of one's own divinity and the collection of faith are also indispensable, but these are secondary conditions.

"I won't let them down."

It was only at this time that Elijah's eyes became sharp and edged.

"Go and inspect the world of dusk. The world illuminated by me will be the foundation of your future faith. You must personally demonstrate your might, leave miracles, and create legends."

"Yes."

When Noah saw his eldest son following the arrangements and stepping onto the teleportation array to the Twilight World, he sighed softly and left a scarlet rainbow in the sky that penetrated the world.

This is the Holy Palace of the Sun hanging under the sun. Noah's main consciousness resides in this palace, allowing his descendants, relatives, followers, and servants to approach him without risking their lives to touch the sun. This is Noah's true body that descended on his own initiative.

"Iliad!"

It is undeniable that Noah had selfish motives in allowing his descendants to preach and become gods in the twilight world he ruled, because the entry and preaching of gods would help stabilize the world, prevent it from falling, and restore prosperity.

The gods' demands on the material world are not one-sided, but also contribute to the prosperity of the material world. To some extent, it is a mutually beneficial relationship. Otherwise, it would not be possible for the gods to spread their influence to the material world so easily, but rather they would be treated the same as epics.

But at the same time, preaching and teaching in a world in despair and demonstrating the power of the gods can gain more loyal faith.

However, most gods will not invest their energy in such a world. After the fall of the twilight world, everything will be in vain, and no matter how much management and effort are put in, it will be in vain.

However, the stability of the world after Noah took over has been greatly improved, at least there is no risk of falling in the short term. If we manage it carefully and rebuild the order, we will have the opportunity to rebuild prosperity and restore the heyday. Therefore, this is not just a one-sided benefit for Noah, his descendants can also benefit from it. Moreover, if the twilight world is developed into a world with the foundation of faith, with the sun incarnated by Noah guarding it, its stability is much stronger than other gods. This is a world protected by the Dragon King.

"Teramus!"

"Father!"

Not long after Iliad left, his second son, Telramus, came after being summoned.

"Your brother is going to take the throne and become a god of the glorious camp. What do you think?"

"I am also planning to become a god!"

"You want to become a dragon god?"

"Yes, I want to be promoted to Dragon King after becoming Dragon God."

This is the path taken by most Dragon Kings. They first become a god, then use the power of the gods to forge the body of a Dragon King, and finally break free from the constraints of their priesthood.

Because of this, the vast majority of dragon gods in the dragon clan, judging from the level of their divine power, are only of weak divine power, and no matter how high their divine power is, it is only of weaker strength. But if there are gods who really look down on dragon gods for this reason, most of them will be beaten to a pulp by these dragon gods who are focused on forging the body of the Dragon King.

"What areas of priesthood are you planning to enter?"

Noah didn't need to preach to his second son as he did to his eldest son. In the burning golden eyes of the golden dragon in front of him, there was nothing but ambition.

"Death, Order, and...Machinery!"

Without hesitation, Teramus mentioned the two major areas of priesthood that he planned to get involved in, but when he mentioned the last area, Teramus hesitated slightly.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Although it cannot be said that death and machinery have no connection, they can only be said to be completely irrelevant, but after all, it is the choice made by his own offspring, and Noah can only support and praise it.

Moreover, the mechanical undead made by Teramus himself is now a major feature of his legion. To a certain extent, it is also a creation that combines death and machinery.

"Just follow your own ideas. You can be deified together with your brother."

"Perhaps I can become the Lord of Death and the God of Machinery before my brother."

Hearing his father's words, Tyramus looked up at the Holy Sun Dragon perched on the Immortal Throne with a half-joking tone.

"It would be best if you could surpass your brother. He also needs a little stimulation."

“I will try to do it faster and better than him.”

Having said that, as a god of death, it is much more difficult for him to spread his teachings than for ordinary gods. As living beings, they will instinctively resist death. How many people are willing to actively believe in a god of death?

However, as a commander in the Great Crusade, Telramus already controls a number of material worlds, so it is not a problem for him to use these worlds as the basis for promoting his beliefs.

As for preaching in the Twilight World, forget it. These worlds are already desperate enough, and there is no need to add another god of death to cause more trouble.

The enterprising second son makes Noah much less worried than the eldest son. He only needs to invest resources in the second son, and the kid will do the rest on his own.

As for the youngest daughter, Skadilo, Noah also planned to make her a goddess of ice and snow. However, compared to her two brothers, this little dragon girl was obsessed with economic construction, or making money. Compared to becoming a goddess of ice and snow, Skadilo would probably be more willing to become a dragon god of wealth.

However, in terms of the priesthood, wealth is not necessarily much stronger than ice and snow. This is a civilized priesthood that can only be derived after the birth of civilization.

However, in terms of faith collection, the God of Wealth has unparalleled advantages over other gods. In any civilization that has developed to a certain level, the lower classes will not resist believing in a God of Wealth.

The more mortals in the world desire money, the greater the power of the God of Wealth is.

Three sons, three gods, this is Noah's arrangement. Of course, as the second son, Telramus will also have the opportunity to transform from a dragon god to a dragon king in the future. He has greater potential and can go further.

Apart from them, among Noah's dragon descendants, his eldest grandson César, granddaughter Nancy, and Hades all have the potential to be promoted to gods. Among them, Hades and César may even try to embark on the epic journey.

But this is their own business. Although Noah is already the Dragon King, he is not qualified to pave the way for other epics. Moreover, even if they really need to pave the way, it should be done by their father. His grandfather has done enough now.

Noah had no intention of taking care of everything for his descendants. It was enough for him to take care of his own children. Moreover, Noah only planned to arrange for them to be promoted to gods. As for what happens after they become gods, his children and grandchildren would naturally have their own blessings.

This was an arrangement he could only make after he became the Dragon King. Only then did he have the qualifications and ability to protect his children from becoming gods.

"Odin!"

In the realm of time and space, the Lord of Mountains and Rivers, Bai Huang, broke into the prison jointly built by the gods and demons, the Dark Abyss Prison Ruins, which is said to be difficult for even gods to escape from.

"Why don't you wake up? How long do you plan to hang there?"

A mocking voice echoed in the seemingly empty Dark Abyss Prison Ruins. This was a place that simulated the void, but was even more terrifying than the void.

Once inside, one would feel an endless stream of chilly coldness, which would continuously sweep over and consume the power and vitality of the creatures imprisoned within. An ordinary legend that fell into it would not survive for more than three days before turning into a withered corpse.

But in this desperate place, there was a man with a dignified face, hanging upside down on a cross, with his hands and feet nailed on it, looking extremely miserable.

However, there was no sign of pain on the man's face. His eyes were closed and his expression was peaceful, as if he was asleep, until the Lord of Mountains and Rivers, holding a dragon spear and controlling the surging river, broke in.

"Noah!"

The man who had suffered all kinds of torture and humiliation suddenly opened his eyes, and then Noah saw that at this moment, the man had only one eye left, and the other eye socket had turned into a bloody hole, which was because it was dug out.
