Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"Dragon Dad, you look so big!"

The girl, who had been talking with Noah for a moment, suddenly showed a doubtful expression. She leaned down, got a bit closer, seemingly trying to bridge the infinite spatial distance and poke her little head towards Noah's side to take a good look at Noah's current appearance,

"Is it my illusion? Why do I feel like your size is more than twice what I remember."

"I'm already an adult dragon, isn't it normal to be a bit bigger?"

"You are already an adult, when did this happen?"

The girl was stunned, her expression showing a bit of confusion. Because she knew the Golden Dragon who took care of her was different from ordinary dragons, his age group was almost twice the normal dragon species, and this multiplier was still expanding.

Thus, having witnessed Dragon Dad's transformation once, the girl thought he still had a long way to go before adulthood, but unexpectedly, before she returned, he was already an adult. Time really flew by too fast.

"It's been five or six years."

Noah said nonchalantly, after awakening, he immediately waged a war of revenge against a country of the True God Sect, and subsequently also suppressed the dissonant voices on the Alviss Continent, all of which took less than three years combined.

"I still missed it!"

Gwen's face showed a look of regret.

"Missed what?"

"Dragon Dad, when you transformed during your teenage dragon phase, I was by your side, but when you upgraded to being an adult dragon, I wasn't there."

"This does not delay anything, and your absence is considered a good thing."

What Noah meant by a good thing naturally referred to the group of God Hunters sent by the gods.

"Dragon Dad, are you despising me?"

The girl frowned slightly, although with the passage of time, apart from her appearance, she had gradually lost her girlishness, having achieved her long-held goal, she had gradually set aside some burdens in her heart, and her mood had become more lively and cheerful.

"Despise? How could I?"

By this time, Noah had already noticed that something was amiss. He looked up and down the holographic image constructed through the communication array, at the girl in front of him who did not have a physical body,

"Have you been staying in an isolated place during this time, without communicating with the outside world?"

"Yes, how about it? For a mage like me who wants to run for the next Tower Master, during the process of accepting inheritance, I have to enter a special secret realm and cannot communicate with the outside world or receive any information. Did something happen that I don't know?"

Gwen also realized it.

"You haven't communicated with the outside world, there are many things you don't understand, go see for yourself."

Noah was not interested in being a news reporter.

"Wait a minute? Dragon Dad, how old are you now?"

"Counting the time, I'm almost two hundred and seventy years old."

Noah readily stated his current age.

For ordinary dragon species, this is already the age of entering the mature stage, but for Noah, he is only just entering adulthood now.

It is expected that before four hundred years, he will still be in the peak state of the mature stage, and it may be that even at five hundred years old, he will not necessarily enter the slumber transformation.

In fact, Noah was quite skeptical about whether he could even transform through slumber again, as he had already touched the pinnacle of the Material Realm, and if he were to transform again, he would truly step into the domain of the Divine.

This would no longer be a field invasion of authority, but a true entry by relying on his own combat power, but how can the Dragon Clan's bloodline growth and transformation yield such a huge enhancement?

Only by rising from Ancestor Dragon to Dragon King did Noah feel he would have a chance to enter this domain.

But how easy is it to become a Dragon King? Noah already knew some of the conditions for ascending to Dragon King status; he didn't think he could achieve them now, but it wasn't entirely without a chance.

"I have been isolated from the outside world for forty years!"

Upon hearing Noah's age for a moment, Gwen couldn't help herself.

"Why are you so surprised? You're about to be the next Tower Master soon, and looking like this, aren't you afraid of losing the face of the Tower Sanctuary?"

"If the Tower's face is maintained by these superficial manners, then it doesn't deserve to call itself a sanctuary."

Gwen said nonchalantly, then she explained to Noah the reason for her recent exclamation, which was also something she just realized,

"My perception of time has gone wrong, in my consciousness, it has only been ten years since our last communication."

"Time flow?"

Noah's expression became quite subtle; time is a rather dangerous domain, even a taboo for the gods. One of the defining abilities of the Divine is that They can stop time.

Of course, in Noah's eyes, this doesn't count as truly stopping time, it is simply that the Divine uses a higher-level power to forcibly stop objects within a limited area, creating the illusion that time has been stopped, whereas in reality, time is still passing.

The gods have never truly mastered the ability to stop time, it is mere bluster. The famous Nine Rings Spell, Time Stop, is even worse, having nothing to do with actual time.

Because this spell does not interfere with the outside world in any way but manipulates the caster's mind, making the mind operate so fast that it perceives all things as static, achieving the so-called time stop.

However, for a Nine Rings Spell, to achieve such an effect is not bad, one cannot expect a spellcaster who hasn't even reached the level of a Legend to drain all their mana and create an effect akin to the descent of a Divine, that's unrealistic.
