Bronze Dragon: Tyrant's Road to Conquest

Chapter 421 Hanging the Sun

"You have an almost endless number of children. What's the harm in just giving up one?"

"I have no reason to give up on a child who has grown to this point."

The mother tree of the world tree seemed very indifferent to the pressure from the Titans and the Dragon King.

"But your child's growth has nothing to do with you. It was all carefully nurtured by this fellow of my clan. You just planted a seed."

"Isn't that enough? Its life originated from me."

"Giving birth to a child but not raising him is not a gesture of gratitude. Give up on your child and don't block the path of the next generation."

The Titans and the Dragon King issued an ultimatum.

"This is your descendant. What does he have to do with me? Without my child, he might not be able to get to where he is today!"

"Since you don't want to, I'll have to do it myself."

Having said that, there was no need for further communication. Under Diriel's terrified gaze, an unprecedented confrontation broke out.

The King of Titans and Dragons, the supreme being who rules over billions of worlds, his existence is like the foundation of all things. Every breath he takes can trigger the stars, and every heartbeat can make the worlds tremble.

His eyes penetrated the constraints of time and space, and saw the original origin and the final extinction. Facing him was a world tree that was so ancient that it could not be measured.

Its roots are deeply rooted in the origin of the void, and its branches and leaves cover countless dimensions of reality. Each leaf is a complete world, and each fruit carries the hope and possibility of new life.

The prelude to the battle slowly opened in a silent collision. Di Ruier only saw a beam of light that penetrated eternity and illuminated endlessly. It was a spear condensed from countless primordial lights. Countless stars fell, and the void trembled in front of this power.

However, the World Tree responded with a calm and firm attitude. Billions of branches and leaves burst out with endless green light, and the source of life surged like a tide, constructing a barrier that was very similar to the world barrier, but more solid.

The form of battle transcended the scope of matter and energy and entered a level that even Diriel could not understand - a contest of wills and ideas. They all mastered their own laws and were able to distort time and space, allowing all things to evolve and develop according to their will, no matter how absurd or illogical it was.

In Diriel's eyes, each attack from the Titans and the Dragon King was enough to easily destroy a medium-sized material plane. Even a large world would probably have its world barriers penetrated.

But even such a terrifying attack was resolved one by one by the World Tree in incredible ways. Under the illumination of the Primordial Light, countless worlds experienced the cycle of birth and death in an instant, and were reborn in the next moment.

Amid the destruction and rebirth of countless worlds, the World Tree remained the same as it had been at the beginning, without even a single leaf having been cut off. But soon the World Tree's counterattack came.

They were countless tiny but tenacious seeds of life that crossed the barriers of time and space, trying to take root in the territory of the Titans and Dragon King, challenging his absolute rule.

The scale of this battle far exceeded Diriel's understanding, but it also benefited him a lot and gave him many insights.

Because he finally saw a powerful man walking on the epic road, and knew how to fight and use his strength. He also saw the direction of his own path in this King of Titans and Dragons.

This was a conflict that was enough to redefine the order of the world community. In the conflict between two seemingly eternal beings, billions of stars fell and thousands of planes were born; the ancient world disappeared and new civilizations rose.

As time went by, even Diriel could see that this was a conflict that was destined to have no winner. Once they reached this level, it was impossible to perish, and there was almost no force that could erase their existence.

However, although it is difficult to determine the winner, a result can be produced. Diriel does not know how long this conflict lasted, because in their confrontation, the probabilities of time and space disappeared and everything can be defined.

"This is the gift I give you. It is also the final blessing from the World Tree to its offspring."

Finally, a branch was handed to Diriel. It was a broken branch that was only a few thousand meters long. The broken end was fresh and tender, and there was a faint golden juice flowing from it.

The leaves hanging above are equally crystal clear, with an indescribable and vast source of life brewing within them.

“This is so precious.”

Looking at the branch in front of him that was obviously cut from the mother tree of the World Tree, Diriel felt flattered.

Because in his view, every leaf after being picked can easily evolve into a world with complete rules. What does this mean?
This means that every leaf has the potential to create an epic. Although such an epic would be ridiculously exaggerated, it is ultimately different from the existence of gods.

"It's just a branch. How can it be so precious? If you feel bad about it, when you get promoted in the future, you can go find the mother tree, pick more and give them to me in return."

"If I have such great power in the future, I will repay you a hundredfold."

Hearing that the King of Titans and Dragons was so optimistic about him, Di Ruier was not at all disappointed and immediately promised. However, after he made such a boast, he did not forget to ask,
"On the epic road, at what level is this mother tree?"

"The tree seed you got came from her. What realm do you think it is?"

"eternal?"

"You overestimate her. She's still a little bit behind."

The Titan and the Dragon King laughed, and Diriel understood in his heart that the strength of the man in front of him and the mother tree could be seen. The man was obviously stronger than the mother tree, otherwise he would not be able to cut off a branch.

"With such great power, yet there is still something missing. How terrifying is eternity?"

Diriel could see clearly that when these two beings fought, the aftermath alone affected and changed countless worlds. If they had evil intentions and did it deliberately, it would be easy to destroy or change an entire world community.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. You will have the opportunity to reach this level in the future, and then you will know."

"In the void, how many beings are there who have achieved eternity?"

Di Ruier asked seriously.

"Not many. I only know seven of them. The origin ancestor of the Sky Demon Clan, the Supreme Queen of the Star Domain Zerg, the Mechanical Mirror's Emperor Throne... and of course, the first ancestor of my Titan Clan."

The Titan and Dragon King casually mentioned several eternal beings, and then added,
"This is what I have come into contact with. There must be more in the void."

"So that's how it is. Is there a higher realm above eternity?"

Diriel was still not satisfied.

"I don't know about that. When you have a breakthrough in the future, you can give it a try to see if there is a higher realm."

The Titan and the Dragon King spoke in a playful tone.

"I was just too ambitious."

Di Ruier heard the sarcasm in his tone and immediately reflected on himself.

"Okay, I've granted you everything you wanted. Do you plan to go back now, or take a look around my hometown?"

"It's a rare trip out, so naturally I have to take a look."

Diriel said without hesitation, he was extremely curious about the hometown of the King of Titans and Dragons.

"Then go ahead, but you can only watch and are not allowed to interfere in anything."

"clear."

So, Diriel entered the origin world of the Titans, Erathia.

This is a vast world with boundless land, infinite ocean, and countless nations. The prosperity and vastness here are difficult to compare even to the main world where Diriel's World Tree is stationed.

At the first sight, Diriel was shocked beyond words, not only because this big world did not impose any constraints or suppression on him and could perfectly accommodate his power, but more importantly, Diriel saw the sun.

Seventy-two suns of different sizes and colors move in the sky following specific and unique trajectories, bringing light to this vast and boundless world.

But this was not enough to shock Diriel, because as long as he wanted, he could create more suns in the world he controlled. What really shocked Diriel was the nature of the sun.

The closest to the place where Diriel landed is a silver sun, which provides light and heat to a metal mechanical continent floating between heaven and earth. It is a continent composed entirely of metal life forms, and the life forms and social structures on it are completely different from those in other regions, and it also has its own sun.

And inside this sun, there was a powerful creature with a dragon head, lion body, scorpion tail, and phoenix wings. This creature was curled up there, and the power that emanated from its body to the surface of the seal was enough to bring light to the world.

Epic, definitely not the epic of Rongyuan Realm, because Diriel felt a sense of threat from this unfortunate sealed guy.

"..."

Diriel looked around and saw the many suns rising and setting in the sky. He suddenly felt that the Titan and Dragon King's warning to him was unnecessary. In a world of this scale, he must be as low-key as possible.

Seal the epic, hang it in the sky and use it as the sun. Only the King of Titans and Dragons could do such a thing. Such courage made Diriel extremely envious and yearning for it.

"I'll seal a few suns if I have the chance."

Diriel made up his mind quietly, then hid his body and began to travel in the world of Erathia as an ordinary dragon, observing the peculiarities of this world that gave birth to the Titans.

As he got to know more, Diriel discovered to his dismay that not only the sun of Erathia, but also the moon and the stars in the sky were all sealed epics and some monsters that exceeded the specifications.

Of course, according to the definition of the Titans, these unfortunate guys who were sealed up were all evil gods who were on the road to destroying the world. The seal on them was not just a seal, but a gradual draining of their essence.

This is the cruelest way to slowly deprive them of everything they have taken after embarking on the path of destruction.

The reason why these unlucky guys were hung in the sky was mainly to fill the vacancies. Based on Diriel's investigation of the folk customs and ancient myths and legends of the various continents of Erathia, it was basically understood.

Long ago, the returning Titans and the Dragon King exiled the gods, and after the gods were driven away, problems arose with the sun, moon, and stars.

Because in the past, the gods' kingdom was reflected in the material world, turning into stars in the eyes of life in the material world, including the sun and the moon, and there were gods to maintain their operation.

When all the gods were driven out, the sky became dim and the night was shrouded in endless darkness without any light.

Therefore, some unlucky people were hung in the sky, and the vacancies left by the gods were filled. Gradually, a king discovered that the creatures illuminated by these lights could give birth to offspring with better talents and evolve into more races of life.

As a result, more and more stars hung in the sky, and gradually, the light from the sun of Erathia was not enough to illuminate the earth, and then the sun was hung up.

Until now, it has become what Diriel sees now. Each continent and relatively distant region has a different sun and stars.

"It's time to leave!"

After traveling in Erathia for three hundred years, Diriel, who observed all living things like a transparent ghost but did not intervene in any way, bid farewell to the King of Titans and Dragons.

"Anything gained?"

"I learned how to hang the sun, and I want to try it when I get back."

Tyrell replied.

The King of Titans and Dragons turned the epic seal into the sun, moon and stars, hanging all over the sky. Of course, it was not just a simple seal, he was extracting the essence of these evil gods, refining them in reverse, and using them to nourish the world, allowing the world to further advance and expand.

Such means made Di Ruier admire them. He yearned for them but also felt itchy.

"good."

The Titan and the Dragon King expressed their approval to Diriel, and then Diriel embarked on the journey of returning.

When Diriel returned, it naturally caused a great shock in the seemingly unchanged worlds of the World Tree. These followers expressed great joy at the return of their God King.

Even with the protection of the World Tree, the pressure of Mount Heaven is still too great for them. The return of Diriel can eliminate the uneasiness in their hearts.

After returning, Diriel immediately integrated the broken branch from the mother tree in his hand into the World Tree. The World Tree expressed unprecedented joy, and the huge trunk rooted in three hundred worlds also roared.

As the king of the sacred trees, Diriel also felt a sense of roundness and flawlessness the moment the world tree completely merged with the broken branches.

This did not bring any improvement in combat power or realm, but it just felt like a set of shackles that had existed before but were not noticed were completely broken, and the way forward suddenly became clear.

"Sure enough, there is only one sun in the sky, which is a bit too monotonous!"

When his partner, children, relatives and followers gathered in front of him and worshipped him together, Diriel raised his head, looked up at the sky and spoke to himself.

"?"

Just when all the relatives were confused, Diriel stretched out his claws and tore open time and space. On the other side of time and space, there was a scene of hell with flowing molten lava, filled with thick smoke, poison and many hideous monsters.

Surrounded by countless monsters, there stood a crimson demon with eyes like a bloody moon, a mouth like a bloody abyss, and four arms. Just as Diriel tore through time and space, he looked over.

"you……"

"It's been a long time since we last met. I'm so relieved to see you're still here!"

Without the help of the Void Altar, he found the Demon God, Diriel, and took the initiative to greet him.

"What do you want to do?"

The Crimson Demon had already recognized Diriel, but unlike his previous condescending attitude, the Demon was particularly alert at this moment and even drew out a weapon burning with demonic flames.

"Don't get too excited. I just wanted to visit you and thank you for your help in my time of need. I also want to ask you to make one last deal with me."

"What deal?"

"In my world, the sun is no longer enough."

Diriel made no effort to conceal his malice.

"reptile!"

Although he didn't know what the so-called "not enough sun" meant, the deep malice was obvious. The Crimson Demon let out a roar and threw the weapon in his hand towards Diriel.

"I don't know how to praise!"

Diriel sighed. The Crimson Demon that he once looked up to and feared was now nothing more than this in front of him.

The so-called war naturally did not break out. A ray of light burst out from Diriel's fingertips, as if it had burst out from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, suppressing the demon on the spot.

From then on, there was another crimson sun in the sky of the Carlos world.

Even though there were already two suns in the sky, Diriel's followers were very confused to find that their God-King was still often muttering strange words like there were too few suns.

No one knew what their God-King saw or how much benefit he gained after meeting with the Titans and the Dragon King, but all that could be seen was that the sky over Carlos was gradually becoming crowded.

At an unknown time, the creatures living on the land of Carlos looked up and found that a platinum-colored sun had appeared in the sky.

The sun emitted a soft light that was charming but not dazzling, making those who bathed in it feel relaxed and refreshed. It contained particularly abundant light and divine power, which was quite disgusting to those other dark races and those who tended towards this side.

However, no one had any objection to this. After all, everyone had become accustomed to the increasing number of suns in the sky. Except for a few kings, no one had explored what was sealed in those suns.

“It’s time to explore the world communities farther away. This is just a place for exiles after all.”

Diriel, who had already cleared out all the disobedience in the world community he was in, formally issued a void development order to the hundreds of kings and tribes under his command.

Under their guidance, the branches of the World Tree also spread towards the void farther away.
