Chapter 2027 The Ferocious Red Dragon
Blaze looked at the dazzling object on the table with a solemn expression; it was the first time he had ever seen something dropped by a blessed person.

Strictly speaking, the Blessed Ones are also a type of monster, and it would be normal for them to drop items like power crystals. However, the problem is that the Blessed Ones can only die of old age. The result of this death is that their HP, MP, and SP all return to zero, and their power is completely exhausted.

In this situation, it is difficult for any so-called power crystals to fall out. In addition, the blessed person will only die of old age, and will die hundreds of times in his/her life. Therefore, it is difficult for him/her to have strong emotions or cause any abnormalities when he/she dies.

In terms of rarity alone, the items dropped by the Blessed One may be even rarer than world-class equipment. Moreover, their appearance is usually associated with a very important event.

This intense gaze is of utmost importance.

"The Soul Forge... I underestimated the Great Beast God."

Blaze pinched the bridge of his nose. He had originally thought that the king-conferring ceremony being carried out by the savage orcs was just a distorted ritual performed by these fanatical Great Beast God priests, imitating the Great Beast God. He hadn't expected it to be a legitimate ceremony.

This also explains why the savage orcs were able to appoint kings and generals in such a bizarre way after the Great Beast God was defeated; it means that they are all now candidates for the Great Beast God.

In this situation, Greenland becomes unimportant.

She was simply the best and most readily available new Great Beast God in the eyes of the savage orcs. Even without Greenland, they could have those candidates for kingship and generalship emulate the great achievements of the Great Beast God of yesteryear, constantly conquering and fighting, and obtaining bodies worthy of being called "dragons" through the Soul Forge.

Now Blaze understood the meaning behind the words of the Great Beast God Priest Bassar: the seed of fire was the soul furnace spread out by the Great Beast God, and they, the priests, were merely firewood, responsible for heating the soul furnace.

The key issue remains the Soul Furnaces that have already spread out. If all the Great Beast God Soul Furnaces are not extinguished, even if only one remains, they could potentially reignite.

“Fortunately, the Soul Forge won’t affect our current plans; it just makes us clearer about who our enemy is.” The forger pointed to the map.

"Based on the data uploaded by everyone, it has been confirmed that the savage orcs are indeed transforming the dragon vein totem into the great red dragon totem. The good news is that the progress is slow."

"The bad news is that the difficulty of the raid has increased significantly, especially in the area corresponding to the seven heads, where the savage orcs have undergone some kind of transformation and become sinful orcs."

Jasmine projected seven different savage orcs onto the seven head regions at just the right moment.

Blaze's eye twitched. These seven new variants of the savage orcs, especially the sinful orcs, gave him a rather familiar feeling.

That's right, this is only the outer edge of the seven-headed region of the Sinful Dragonman in the first stage of Greenland's transformation. If we continue to go deeper... Greenland's transformation has two more stages: the Sinful Dragon Beast and the final Great Red Dragon.

Although these sinful orcs represent only one kind of sin, the Soul Forge completely compensates for this problem.

Blazer pointed his finger at a head on the map, moved it along the veins, and finally stopped on the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire that was pressing down on the source of the dragon vein.

The savage orcs' goal was clear: a new Great Beast God would be born from that enormous Cup of Flame, and the flames would reignite once more.

He could follow his old ways, rallying the strangers in a grand manner and swiftly crushing the savage beastmen's objectives.

But he couldn't do that, because the relationship between orcs and humans was very delicate.

Humans no longer view orcs as simple, ferocious monsters as they used to, but they certainly can't accept them so quickly. The terror of orcs is the result of thousands of years of accumulation, and it can't be changed in just two or three years.

The Olympia tournament would be an excellent opportunity for humanity to formally and again recognize the orcs. However, if news were to spread at this time that a great beast god was about to be reborn, the relationship between humans and orcs would likely continue to deteriorate, and they might even unite to exclude orc territory.

Therefore, the matter of the Great Beast God should be handled as discreetly as possible, and it would be best to resolve the problem quietly.

Fortunately, there are heroic warriors, so they are not lacking in numbers; it's just that the number of strangers is very small.

"How's the translation of the Great Beast God Priest's words coming along?" Blaze turned to Lottie. As soon as he returned, he recorded the encrypted language used by the Great Beast God Priest Basa during the ritual in Greenland and showed it to Lottie.

Lottie shook her head regretfully.

"I'm sorry, this is a language that only high-ranking beast god priests with blessings can understand. I am just a king-level beastman and cannot understand it."

"Really?" Blazer wasn't disappointed. He covered his mouth with his left hand and squinted at the map.

The dragon vein totem, which originally symbolized life and peace, is now baring its fangs and claws, pouncing towards the entire orc territory, and may even pounce on the whole world.

"The key is still the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire. The savage beastmen are not the Great Beast God as a special being. Their Soul Furnaces need to be used in conjunction with the Goblet of Fire and the rituals presided over by the Great Beast God's priests."

“Unfortunately, the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire cannot be destroyed.” The forger shrugged. “Such an conspicuous thing has long been targeted by some people, and the fact that it remains intact to this day shows that it is tough enough.”

"I think that over the years, it has become integrated with the source of the dragon vein. To shake it is to shake the source of the dragon vein, or even the entire dragon vein."

"From a prudent perspective, it's best for us to let the dragon vein repair itself."

"In other words, there's nothing we can do right now." Blazer lowered his head helplessly.

"That's why I said the Soul Forge information only completes our understanding of the enemy, but it doesn't mean we can't do anything." The forger stroked his chin and casually picked up a chess piece engraved with a cat's head and placed it on the table.

"Since we cannot launch a rash attack and must advance steadily, let the enemy come to us."

"You mean to use Greenland as bait?"

“How can you use such an awful word as ‘bait’?” the forger corrected. “It should be ‘white moonlight’.”

"White, white moonlight?" Blaze's lips twitched. When a strange word comes out of a forger's mouth, it usually means that something exciting is about to happen.

"Isn't that right?" The forger shook his finger.

"The Great Red Dragon is the most perfect new Great Beast God in the eyes of the Great Beast God priests. Those beastmen who are made kings and generals, who have ambitions and dreams of becoming the new Great Beast God, are either sacrifices to the Great Red Dragon or have their appearance changed and transformed into the shape of the Great Red Dragon."

“From the very beginning, they were not the next generation, but replacements. If they had any dignity, they would have chosen to fight Greenland when they saw it wandering around.”
