Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

All the gifts from fate have had their price marked in secret.

Noah deeply realized this after his foster father, Casius, was dragged into Hell by a group of Hell Lords. Noah worried for some time, but eventually, he received news that his foster father Casius was promoted to a Hell Lord, and not just an ordinary lord.

According to the information Noah learned, his foster father Casius rampaged through Hell, invincible and undefeated, nearly omnipotent.

Countless Hell Lords were slain, and Noah remembers that after his eldest son returned from a visit to Hell, he came back with extremely dazzling holy equipment.

Hell doesn't produce holy equipment; all equipment comes from other lords. These are the spoils they obtained in warfare against Heaven, each piece with its own legend and story.

After the battle at the Gate of Hell, Noah never saw his foster father again, but through his great-nephew Wayne, he saw the gifts received by his eldest son, as well as his foster mother, Selena, who could freely wander in Hell. Noah knew then just how special his foster father's status was in Hell.

Thus, long ago, Noah had a question: What virtue or ability did his foster father possess to receive such honors, holding such a special status in Hell?

Indeed, Casius was incredibly powerful, even when he last appeared before Noah, he was the strongest being Noah had ever seen in the Material Realm.

Even the Beastman Demigod or the old Beastman Priest could not compare to the foster father who was preparing to attack the Gate of Hell, a true force invincible in the Material Realm.

At that time, Casius had already perfected his Titan Bloodline to an extremely terrifying degree, almost infinitely close to a Pure-blooded Titan.

But even so, this wasn't enough reason for Casius to dominate the Hell battlefield, fighting bloodily on all fronts, and achieving repeated victories. Hell is different from the ordinary Material Realm, with far less restraint by rules.

Even the Divine can fully exhibit their authority within, though few dare to set foot in the occupied regions of Hell.

In such a harsh environment, being dragged into Hell by Hell Lords, what capital did Casius have to counter-kill and stand proudly within, proclaiming dominance?

Rely on the Titan Bloodline? Noah does not deny the strength of the Titan Bloodline, but to rely on an imperfect, yet-to-complete final transformation and ascension Titan Bloodline to navigate Hell, this is simply impossible.

There is only one explanation: the will of Hell. In Hell, only those favored by Hell's will can possess such might, and manifest such irrational powers.

This will is Hell's destiny. Those cherished by it, let alone a Titan with an incomplete bloodline, even an ordinary beast could become a Lord of Hell, possessing the power to overthrow and destroy worlds.

Only the favor of this will can explain everything. It was this favor that allowed Casius, upon first entering Hell, to suppress countless Hell Lords, unknown to how many thousands or even tens of thousands of years of accumulation, treating them like trifle foe, wreaking havoc on them.

It's even possible to respond to the call of a Legendary Mage at any time, using her as an anchor point, to descend upon the Material Realm, projecting power much stronger than an ordinary Hell Lord.

All of this is too abnormal. Even if Noah sensed something, he was powerless, as this had already far exceeded the limits of his capabilities.

As for offering a warning, Noah did not believe that a Titan who had already become a Hell Lord, and a Legendary Mage, needed a warning from him.

In hindsight, he seemed to have overestimated his foster father and mother, but that had nothing to do with his lack of warning, for even now he is powerless to intervene.

"A second consciousness has been born in his soul, trying to replace him and control the Titan Body."

Selena revealed the current issue faced by Casius.

Noah froze at hearing this.

The birth of a second consciousness in a soul—what kind of grotesque outcome is this? This sort of problem would be extremely troublesome to High Rank professionals even if it appeared in a mortal.

Now it has appeared in a Hell Lord, and he wants to find the Dragon King or Dragon God to solve it. Not to mention Noah can't find them, even if he could, an ordinary Dragon King wouldn't solve it, much less the Dragon God—there's hardly any chance.

"Aunt, did you not foresee this issue back then? Is the bounty from Hell's will so easy to take?"

"What would foreseeing have done? Do you think with my abilities, I can contend against the will of Hell?"

Selena showed a look of depression, lacking her usual spirited confidence,

"All the methods I prepared either collapsed at a touch or failed, completely useless. The terror of Hell's will is simply beyond the grasp of a Legendary Mage like me. I underestimated it."

"What about Uncle himself?"

"It's precisely because he himself was prepared that I even have the opportunity to reach out to you for help."

She looked like a thoroughly defeated young female mage, having lost her faith and fighting spirit, stared at Noah,

"Noah, I've never asked you for anything, but this time, you must help Casius. If he loses in the competition with the consciousness supported by Hell, then there will be no more Casius, only a Hell Titan Lord left."
