Chapter 343
"Hell's will, is it?"
After hearing Noah's reminder, the girl's eyes shimmered with an inexplicable light,
"I see. Thank you for the reminder, great uncle. I will be cautious."
"What are you thinking?"
Seeing the expression of his grandniece, Noah's demeanor turned subtle as well.
His reminder to the Fourth Generation Augustus seemed to yield more severe consequences, but these consequences were only bad for the Elf Court, so what relation did it have with him? It wouldn't affect him.
He was merely a gentle elder caring for his younger kin. If his reminder led the young one to accomplish something significant in the future, it would be her own choice.
"If Hell's will were to meet divine will, who do you think would emerge victorious, great uncle?"
Upon hearing Noah's question, Parvati suddenly asked.
"A very intriguing question, you could give it a try."
Noah raised an eyebrow slightly, the answer was naturally obvious, but he found no need to say it. As the Ancestral Golden Dragon, he merely added,
"Even if it succeeds, you wouldn't need to thank me. Just if trouble arises, don't blame it on me; it has nothing to do with me."
"Great uncle, you worry too much; I'm merely curious."
The girl explained.
"Hehe, do not betray your followers and admirers, and do not harm them."
Noah couldn't help but laugh.
Parvati's thoughts were quite clear; she wanted to rid herself of interference and control by the Seven Gods of the Elves, thus choosing to become Sainfeiren's Spirit of Nature, thereby receiving the blessing of the regional natural will.
But this alone wasn't enough; she could only express herself and reveal her true self in limited areas. Outside these zones, she still needed to disguise herself, lacking freedom.
Having birthed thoughts of rebellion and having acted out in defiance, would the girl be satisfied with this? The answer was obvious; she was bound to try more, drawing upon even more power, regardless of the additional risk.
However, setting the target on Hell's will, the probability of issues arising, Noah could hardly calculate. After all, on the other side were the elf gods.
Of course, should it lead to major problems, Noah wouldn't be responsible, for he was merely reminding, irrespective of voicing it or not, Hell's will would objectively affect Parvati.
"I will not touch upon taboos; please rest assured, great uncle."
"If you say it like that..."
Upon hearing his grandniece's assurance, Noah sighed,
"It makes me even more uneasy."
"That was just a hypothesis, a vague idea, I know how foolish it sounds."
Parvati continued to attempt clarifying, denying at the same time the impulsive feelings she had just experienced, acknowledging that a mere regional natural will was insufficient to confront the gods.
Yet, if introducing Hell's will, the uncontrollable variables would be too vast; such risks could not be borne by her, thus rational thinking leaned towards caution.
"Alright, no need to explain; I understand, I trust you will be a good child."
Noah ceased to listen to further defenses from his grandniece.
For a rather harsh fact persisted: whether Hell's will interfered or not was not determined by the Augustus descendants but by the instinct of Hell's will.
"If something arises, you can guide it westward, as the west has enjoyed prolonged peace; they have sufficient resources."
Noah, having wandered in Sainfeiren for several days, prepared to leave, but left a reminder before departing.
"I've noted it down."
Parvati nodded emphatically without a trace of resistance.
"Not only remember it, but also execute it when the time comes."
Noah left with reluctance, as he had predicted upon arriving, this natural demigod indeed posed the greatest troubles.
Compared to other passive Augustus members, his grandniece potentially sought active major actions, the sole consolation was that the conflict point lay in Central Earth, not the Eastern Territory.
Returning to his domain, Noah remained unsettled, thus summoned a Dragon Fairy, leaving specific instructions before slightly relaxing, focusing on other changes.
Though his battle with the awakened Tidel disturbed many of his subjects within the territory, his reappearance and hosting of numerous ancient dragons atop the mountain restored the previously disrupted order, dispelling all troubling thoughts.
Once this slight deviation was corrected, history's current surged forward, as the Holy Dragon Land, having entered the era of overseas colonial expansion, stably exported outward with tens of thousands of Dragon-men crossing the ocean monthly, aspiring to create their own grand ventures on the Other Shore Continent.
Nevertheless, Alviss Continent was merely the first desired destination for the Dragon-men; other regions on the home continent also served as target choices. Lastly, a group of Dragon-men, possessing both adventurous spirits and romanticism, fervently sought other continents, pioneering new routes.
According to some verified and confirmed rumors, their world was vast indeed, encompassing five continents and seven seas, with the Xilantia Continent and Alviss Continent being merely two of those five.
Such an expansive world and vast ocean inevitably inspired excitement, and the substantial rewards obtained by pioneers were widely recognized.
