Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"The divine status and divinity left behind after the Ocean deity's fall~"

Noah lowered his head, looking at the tiny speck of divine status and the divinity within, which required transcendental vision to notice, and couldn't help but smile. It wasn't out of anger.

As for a deity, to offer such a reward could already be considered quite generous. Disagreeing with Noah's initial distribution proposal was normal.

No deity wishes for more competitors; the fewer competitors for divine positions and faith, the better. To bring out divine status and divinity as a reward, the deities already placed significant importance on Noah's performance.

Even though they gave Noah what seemed like the opposing attribute of oceanic divine status, there was no choice; any deity involved in the Sun Domain couldn't ignore Noah's presence.

They didn't listen to what Noah said, only watched what he did. Given Noah's current foundation, as long as he obtained a compatible divine status, his ascension to godhood was without any doubt.

Just the thought of a Dragon God at the weak divine power level was enough to give any deity a headache. The racial advantage of the Dragon Clan would be further demonstrated once they ascended to godhood.

Any Dragon God, even if their divine position wasn't related to battle, possessed the strongest fighting power at their current level, even capable of fighting above their rank.

"So cautious and stingy!"

Noah looked at the pathetic advance payment and remarked.

He had already reached an agreement with certain deities unwilling to reveal their identities. He would deploy his legions to wage cross-plane warfare; these deities would provide him with every support except personal involvement and dispatching their subordinate churches.

Because these deities would not step forward, Noah demanded a reward that satisfied him. Otherwise, if they dared to snatch his achievements, he would retaliate. Under such a threat came the meager divine status and divinity in front of him.

These deities promised to gradually hand over the divine residue left by a fallen deity as a reward for the war, based on the progress of the war.

Thus, Noah obtained the divine status glowing with a blue hue in his hands. For a Fire Element Golden Dragon, this type of divine status, while not entirely useless, was admittedly of little use.

An ordinary Golden Dragon is considered the most perfect True Dragon Species, capable of flying freely in water; its activity range also includes oceanic areas. In Noah's inherited memory, there are records of defeating Red Dragons using water territories.

But for a Golden Dragon to develop towards an Ocean deity, it would be too strange. It's not just a matter of attribute mismatch but also of non-alignment. Even if it forcibly ascended to godhood, problems would abound.

"What a pity. Honestly, they don't believe me when I say I just want to taste it."

Although he didn't manage to obtain Sun Domain divinity, which suited him the best, oceanic divinity could still fill his stomach a bit and expand his taste. He had indeed never tasted it before.

Crunch~

Noah tossed the divine status into his mouth, and with a crisp chewing sound, it dissolved in his mouth and was swallowed in one gulp.

"Mmm~"

Noah only felt a refreshing salty-sweet taste spread in his mouth, and then that was it. The advance payment from those deities was too little.

Whir~

The Golden Dragon pondered for a moment, then lightly drew with its Dragon Claw, a stream of water conjuring out of thin air, weaving around his Dragon Claw like a water snake, swimming deftly.

Sizzle~

In the next instant, flames ignited in Noah's Dragon Claw, and the water stream turned into a wisp of vapor and evaporated.

"Too weak, it's just a trick."

Regarding the authority he just obtained by assimilating divinity, Noah made such a remark, though his words were full of disdain, his eyes reflected an appearance of extreme satisfaction.

As a Gold Dragon by birth, he was now more effortlessly manipulating Water Elements than a Water Attribute True Dragon, indicating what? He had broken through the barriers of his race and was stepping out on his own path.

He was still an Ancestor Dragon but was gradually transcending the realm of a Golden Dragon. However, his current path to growth and strength was somewhat extraordinary, growing at the core by assimilating divinity. For deities, this wasn't just a concern or threat.

It's arguably his second greatest secret apart from the Golden Tree, and it absolutely must not be leaked, or no deity would tolerate his existence.

"War, cannot stop!"

The deities provided more than just advance payment; there were many plane coordinates and methods for large-scale army teleportation across dimensions.

Many deity followers might still be living in extremely ignorant, impoverished, and backward feudal eras. But any deity of a slightly older age held powerful magic-guided technology capable of allowing mortals to navigate and traverse the Void.

However, most deities wouldn't bestow this technology upon their followers; it was a deliberate blockade and separation.

But externally, there weren't so many considerations. Noah received many techniques from the deities to construct semi-permanent cross-border teleportation gates, each differing primarily in construction costs and teleportation energy consumption.

For Noah, it was also a significant expenditure; thus, he was not only content with obtaining the techniques but hoped to acquire true forbidden knowledge from the deities.
