Chapter 279: The Golden Dragon Family, the Arrival of the Mother’s Family

“Zhou Gu, are we now vassals of others?”

The turbid sea water was surging and turbulent, mixed with countless broken corals and seaweeds, as well as the remains of many innocent sea creatures. The Poseidon Pakriel, lying flat on the broken seabed, looked at the big whale beside him.

“We are only nominal vassals. The golden dragon is actually a very tolerant monarch. As long as we do not go against his will, he does not care what we do.”

The ancient Tyrannosaurus comforted him,

“You see, he didn’t ask us to sign any harsh master-servant contract with him, nor did he impose any mandatory constraints on us.”

“That’s because he believes in his own strength more than the contract. He is a rather arrogant young dragon!”

The Sea Dragon, who had been abused from beginning to end, closed his only eye and said weakly, “Compared to the whale in front of him who had seen the future from beginning to end and relied on the talent of his race to spy on the future, Pacquierel, who had fought a bloody battle with Noah, knew better.
“He doesn’t care about your promise, nor does he care if you betray him, because he believes he can use the power he has to conquer you again until you completely submit to him.”

“If that’s the case, then why don’t we just submit to him? We only need to maintain a nominal monarch-subject relationship, and he will let us conquer this vast ocean in front of us. Isn’t that good?”

The ancient Tyrannosaurus asked in confusion.

Since the old friend in front of him already understood that he was facing such a dragon, why did he fight to the death and refuse to retreat even when he was about to be killed?

“In order to maintain this nominal vassal relationship, do we still have to pay tribute to him with treasures every year?”

There was a hint of sarcasm and mockery in Pacquier’s tone.

“This is what a subject should do.”

Zhou Gu’s tone became a little awkward.

“What kind of nominal submission is that? Hasn’t this already established a substantive monarch-subject relationship?”

“We don’t have a choice, Pacquiril.”

The whale’s voice became low, and there was even a hint of fear in his words.
“Even if I join, the result will not change. We will all lie here and even become corpses.”

“You foresaw the future again? What is the best future?”

Haihuanglong was not surprised at the change in his old friend’s tone, as he knew the other party’s racial talent.

This is a top-level racial talent, but the race that possesses this talent actually added “overlord” to the racial name. I don’t know what the first ancient overlord whale who used this as a name was thinking.

“I fled into the deep sea with your head, and then I was attacked inexplicably…”

“Is this the best ending?”

Pacquier could not help laughing, but his outrageous behavior immediately affected the wounds in his internal organs, and he could not help but cough violently. As he coughed, large amounts of blood plasma escaped from his mouth, nose, and every wound on his body, staining large areas of mud and sand red.

“I saw a total of nineteen possible outcomes. This is the only one in which we escape the control of the golden dragon, but the final outcome is not very good either.”

“No wonder you made such a choice.”

There was a hint of regret in Pacquier’s tone. If he hadn’t known the other party’s racial talent, he would have cut off all ties with him long ago.

Who can endure being beaten by a powerful enemy and about to be beaten to death while his friends are watching and begging for mercy and surrendering to the enemy?

Being able to glimpse the ever-changing future is indeed a great talent, but unfortunately sometimes if you choose to survive, you must lose face and have no dignity at all.

“I really can’t see a better way out.”

“If you only look at that dragon, how many futures can you see?”

After a long silence, Pacquier asked abruptly.

The ancient Tyrannosaurus will always choose the future that is most beneficial to itself. If it surrenders to the golden dragon, it is not just avoiding harm, but also seeking benefits.

“I can’t see clearly. It seems like he has only one future, but it also seems like he has countless futures.”

There was a sense of confusion in Zhou Gu’s tone.

“What do you mean?”

“All the futures I saw in him ended up being the same.”

“what?”

“A golden sun burning brightly in the darkness.”

“Golden Sun?”

Paquiwell opened his single eye again. After half a day of recuperation, he finally recovered some strength. Therefore, in the other empty eye socket, granulation tissue had already grown, which looked extremely terrifying.

“Who?”

The seriously injured and dying Sea Dragon, who had already fought to the point of exhaustion, had not yet had time to appreciate what the so-called golden sun represented, when he suddenly raised his head. His only remaining eye emitted a sharp light and looked towards the deep sea.

There is an unknown existence rising from the deep sea and approaching them. This crisis that penetrates deep into their bones and invades their soul makes the Sea Dragon tremble.

If he was in his prime, he would certainly not be afraid of such an existence. No matter what was in the deep sea, even if it was an indescribable evil, he could retreat calmly even if he was defeated. But he couldn’t do that now.

This was a completely different situation from the fight with the golden dragon. The golden dragon was ruthless and didn’t care at all about its age of nearly a thousand years older than him. But even so, the opponent was measured in his attacks.

They will beat him to death, but they won’t really kill him. This is the most basic tacit understanding among the dragon clan. Even hostile dragons won’t kill each other easily. What’s more, they don’t have any hostile stance that must determine life and death.

But now, this guy who has awakened from the deep sea and is approaching the shallow sea is different. His identity is unknown and his purpose is difficult to guess. The unknown is the greatest fear.

“We are the vassals of the Holy Dragon Noah. No matter who you are, if you dare to infringe upon us, it is equivalent to provoking a noble ancestral dragon. Not only will you draw the wrath of the ancestral dragon, but you will also attract the attention of the Dragon God!”

Compared to Poseidon, which tried its best to gather strength and prepare to fight against a powerful enemy, the Archaeotyrannosaurus was very simple and straightforward.

Under the astonished gaze of the Sea Dragon, he directly pulled up Noah’s flag and threatened the creatures in the deep sea.

“It’s useless. That dragon has never been to the ocean before. If it weren’t for our arrival, he would not have entered the ocean. He is a monster awakened from the deep sea. We don’t know his existence.”

Pacquierel wanted his companion to give up this useless and ridiculous threat.

But just as he finished speaking, the unknown strange aura that was originally approaching suddenly stopped, and then began to slowly retreat into the deep sea, no longer approaching.

“How can this be?”

Pacquierel just found it incredible. How could someone who could lurk in the deep sea and sleep for a long time be able to be treated as an easy person? In the original destroyed world, he was just one of the many ancient beings sleeping in the deep sea.

“It may have never heard of Noah’s name, but it must know about the Ancestral Dragon and the Dragon God. Moreover, it may not have known about them before, but after the battle with you, wouldn’t these awakened guys still not know about them?”

The well-reasoned question of the Archaeotyrannus left Pakiril speechless. He had fought with the ancestral golden dragon, and had shattered countless underwater mountains and thousands of miles of seabed. During the battle, he also felt that many unknown ancient beings were disturbed by them and were forced to wake up from their slumber.

However, most of them continued to sleep after finding out that it was none of their business and did not affect their continued nesting, but it was obvious that some guys were still very interested in them.

“You see, it’s not a bad thing to bow down and submit to a more powerful being. Aren’t we avoiding an unnecessary battle now?”

“If there was no dragon, and we were left alone, those guys would not only not wake up, but would not dare to provoke us.”

Pacquierel snorted. After becoming a vassal, even though he felt the benefits of being protected, he did not appreciate it.

“We are outsiders after all. Even if there is no His Majesty Noah, there will be powerful beings like Dia and Xiuya fighting with us. There has never been a truly unowned land in this world.”

“Even if we fight, we won’t necessarily be the ones to become vassal.”

“This is the best outcome.”

“…”

On the seabed, the surging mud and sand eventually calmed down, the sea water returned to clarity, and the two statues, entwined with the heavy breath of time, finally returned to tranquility and silence.

“Xia, are you unhappy that I conquered your friend by force?”

In the majestic palace guarded by a group of dragons, the golden dragon, in an extremely happy mood, looked at the phoenix, which was obviously unhappy.

“Should I be happy? I trusted you so much and took you to see them, but you did something so excessive to them.”

“They’re encroaching on my territory!”

Noah declared.

“But you’ve never been there before.”

Xia was very unconvinced and she did not agree with this reason.

“My family and subjects have been there.”

“That’s just a sophistry. You’re too bossy, Noah.”

“Does a king rule over a land determined by where he walks?”

Noah couldn’t help but laugh and asked,

“If this is the case, then the rulers of most humanoid races in the world would probably only rule their own palaces or the cities beneath their feet.”

“I don’t know how to refute you, but I think what you did is wrong.”

“What’s wrong?”

“You have such a vast territory, so many dragon lords swore allegiance to you, and you have treasures as high as the mountains. You can also build palaces for pleasure on the mountains.

Why do you want to occupy the sea that you have never been to and can’t even use? Even if it is your territory, can’t you give it to them? There is no loss for you. “

The phoenix expressed his confusion, but his innocent and childish remarks made Noah burst out laughing.

“I have never felt that the territory I rule is vast. Don’t you think that my territory is too small under the Ark?”

Noah asked back, and before the Phoenix could respond to his ambitious statement, Noah continued to add,
“It is true that I have not yet set foot in the ocean, but I have never said that I do not need the resources of the ocean. Moreover, even if I do not need them, don’t my descendants and my subjects need them too?

As a ruler, what I need to do is to lead my subjects and safeguard my and their interests, rather than dividing and giving away seemingly useless land.

If we can give up one piece of land today, can we give up ten cities tomorrow? If we continue to give up like this, even the vastest land will eventually fall apart.

No matter how much territory we have, we cannot give up an inch of it; no matter how far away our mountains and rivers are, we cannot lose an inch of them!”

“So you want to conquer my friend by force?”

“If they don’t submit to me, then the invaders who violate my territory will have another fate.”

Noah said calmly, but the chill in his tone made even the phoenix tremble.

“What do you want to do?”

“They have already surrendered to me, so I will naturally not do anything to them. Their life and death will be my responsibility from now on.”

“So you plan to conquer me too?”

“No, of course not. You are my friend. How could I force you with violence?”

“But I don’t think you consider me as your friend.”

“Of course I am your friend, but I am also a lord, a dragon lord who rules over 30 million lives and bears all responsibilities for their lives and interests!”

Noah stared at the phoenix in front of him. Even though she had seen the end of the world, she still retained her innocence and romance.
“Every step I take back will harm the interests of hundreds of thousands of subjects who are loyal to me and serve me, and every step I take forward will benefit millions of people.

What do you think I should choose as a lord?”

Phoenix Xia was silent, not knowing how to refute.

“What if one day I invade your territory and threaten your territorial sovereignty?”

“This day will never happen.”

“why?”

“Because you are so kind.”

“…”

The silent atmosphere did not last long. It was broken by dragon roars that suddenly rose and fell one after another in the sky above the city of Elishim. The Holy Dragon Overlord, who had just calmed down for a while, looked outside the palace in surprise.

The agile figures of one golden dragon after another were reflected in Noah’s dragon pupils. There were two middle-aged dragons, four very old dragons, and six ancient dragons. A total of twelve golden dragons descended over the city of Elishim, circling and dancing with such momentum that they shocked countless people.

No one has ever seen such a large number of golden dragons moving together, let alone the people in Noah’s territory. Even Noah himself was seeing such a large number of golden dragons for the first time. It was like an entire family moving together, shocking the dragon’s heart.

“Why is this necessary? It’s totally unnecessary!”

Noah couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at this group of golden dragons that were so powerful that they could destroy a country.

He didn’t recognize any of these golden dragons, but Noah felt a familiar aura from two of the mature dragons.
