Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 471 Taking Advantage of the Situation
Legendary Chosen One Tokam and Yareira sat on either side of the ancestral golden dragon Obirash, exchanged a glance, and instantly reached a consensus in that exchange of eyes.

The proposal from the Golden Empire is actually somewhat disadvantageous for a being like the Legendary Chosen One.

After all, with the power of legendary destiny, they have a great advantage in the treasure kingdom left behind by the dragon god Aio.

Even legendary figures like Moro, Sigmund, and the mage Loda cannot single-handedly confront a Chosen One using their full power.

If they truly encounter certain opportunities and the artifacts left behind by the Dragon God Aio, the chances of the two legendary chosen ones succeeding are far greater than those of other legendary powerhouses.

However, the two legendary beings, Tokam and Yareira, knew perfectly well that if they were beings who manipulated the stars and controlled the planes of existence, then the dragon god Aion was a great being who manipulated the entire universe and participated in the creation of the world.

No matter how confident Tokam and Yareira were, they didn't believe they could roam freely within the treasure kingdom left behind by the dragon god Aio without any danger to their lives.

Perhaps only those legendary chosen ones who have reached the pinnacle of their lives, those who can almost create their own universes through their own power, possess such strength.

Whether such beings would be as interested in the treasures left behind by the dragon god Aio as they are remains an unknown answer.

The Golden Empire holds the key to unlocking the treasure kingdom of the Dragon God Aio and is the leader of this alliance, thus the initiative is in the hands of the Golden Empire.

Of course, most importantly, the Golden Empire possesses the same foundation and support as the legendary Chosen Ones.

The True Dragon Emperor's power was terrifying. Even Tokam and Yareira remained confident, after all, among the legendary figures, there was a huge and obvious difference in strength, and you could only know the truth after actually fighting him.

Many things are just theoretical strength; those who lie down are the weak, and those who stand are the strong. But even the two legendary chosen ones did not have the confidence to win.

Other legendary figures would also find it difficult to refuse such a profit-sharing arrangement with almost no risk. Although many legends would risk their lives for a future, no one would refuse a better option.

Even if the two legendary chosen ones are incredibly powerful, they cannot stand against the alliance led by the Golden Empire.

Although hundreds of legendary powerhouses were successively killed by the Golden Empire and the True Dragon Emperor, more than four hundred legendary powerhouses remained.

With so many material planes, even if only one legendary powerhouse emerges from each world, the number would still be terrifying.

Thus, the two legendary beings remained silent, neither opposing the Golden Empire's proposal nor wavering.

After all, even powerful families like Tokam and Yareira have their own family descendants and established organizations, even if their family descendants are several generations removed from their bloodline.

But no one would refuse the possibility of outstanding descendants emerging from their family's power. The reason why humanoid intelligent races dominate the mainstream of the universe is because of their orderly inheritance and unity.

Tokam and Yareira were simply pondering what means they, as powerful legendary beings, should use to gain greater benefits if they followed the Golden Empire's proposal.

The other legendary powerhouses were also pondering. There were no fools among them; everyone knew their approximate strength.

Most legends would want a piece of the pie in front of such a treasure, and the Golden Empire's offer is undoubtedly the best choice.

Many legendary figures strongly supported the Golden Empire's proposal, especially those legendary figures who had grown up through schools of thought and family lineages.

"I agree with His Majesty Gogmora's suggestion. His Majesty Gogmora is renowned for his wisdom as well as his power. This approach is the best choice for our alliance, not only preventing bloodshed among the strong present but also bringing lasting benefits to everyone."

"Moreover, this training ground allows each other's offspring to undergo growth trials, making it an alliance worthy of being passed down for thousands of years,"

"Consider this, everyone. Once we control a spot in this trial ground, it will be enough to alter the power dynamics of many things in our respective original planes. Those forces and powerful individuals who haven't come here for various reasons will have to obtain our permission if they want to enter the Dragon God's Kingdom,"

"Moreover, this is enough to build a huge platform for communication and exchange, allowing everyone here to unite in a relatively free way and strengthen communication with each other,"

"If there are any needs or requests for help between us, we can notarize them on this platform and exchange our respective quotas and related benefits for mutual assistance. This is far more reliable than other forms of mutual benefit exchange, and the results obtained from this choice are far superior to any other method!"

A burly, legendary warrior ignored the whispers around him and was the first to agree with Obirush's suggestion, while also praising the True Dragon Emperor, putting on a show of humility.

As a powerful figure emerging from a relatively weak dimension, the legendary warrior Barry's family was far weaker than other powerful figures in his world.

If Barry hadn't met two legendary mages as companions during his previous astral explorations, and had the support of his own companions, he might have perished and his clan would have been wiped out by the various obstacles and attacks from other forces and powerful individuals.

It was also because of his mage companion that Barry was able to obtain information about the Dragon God's treasure.

Although the news of the Dragon God's Treasure's appearance has been publicized by various merchant organizations in the starry sky for more than a decade, it is not considered common news compared to the hundreds or thousands of large material planes in this star field. On the contrary, it is still considered a secret.

Only those who reach a certain level, such as those who have entered the legendary realm and can freely travel between star realms, can learn of such news.

Even among those who have entered the Astral Plane, there are still quite a few legendary powerhouses who haven't received this news. The delay in the news, the limitations in its dissemination, and the breadth of social connections are all factors that restrict its spread.

Many legendary figures possess the power to travel between star realms, but for various reasons, the majority have not ventured out of the world.

Few of the kings of the Northern Continent and legendary figures from other continents in the world of Ekania have ever set foot in the Star Realm.

Everyone has their own plans and goals, and not everyone shares the same ideas.

Therefore, there are quite a few legendary powerhouses like Barry who want to cultivate offspring to help them. Even the legends present understand that although the conflicts and disputes that should exist among the legends on this platform will not disappear because of this, it is already a huge buffer zone.

Even legendary powerhouses who harbored a deep-seated aversion to dragons could not refuse such a proposal. Everyone understood that this was an unprecedented opportunity that was opening up to them.

Once this alliance is officially established, it will gain unprecedented influence in this star system.

If someone is skilled enough, it's not impossible for them to manipulate events and turn the world upside down in the original plane of existence by relying on the alliance.

With the legendary warrior Barry chiming in, the atmosphere in the venue became extremely lively.

"I second the Golden Empire's proposal!" "I agree!"

"His Majesty Gogmora's wisdom is worth promoting!"

The crowd echoed with applause and agreement, and chamber leaders like Zygmunt were particularly eager.

If such an alliance could be established, the business and profits inherent in the connections between various worlds would be no less than the Dragon God's treasure in the eyes of these astute individuals.

If the resources of hundreds of different worlds could gradually interact and communicate with each other in this way, even if only one percent of the pure profit were to leak out, it would be enough to make any merchant guild very wealthy.

Therefore, the powerful figures in these chambers of commerce reacted more enthusiastically than those in other legends.

"Truly remarkable! By skillfully leveraging the situation, if this alliance can be formed, the Golden Empire's influence will expand rapidly, and becoming the most powerful force in this star field in the future is not just wishful thinking."

Zygmunt looked at the calmly observing dragon kings of the Golden Empire and sighed, "So easily, the dragon civilization has been quietly and imperceptibly accepted by the mainstream order. The rise of the Golden Empire is unstoppable!"

Suddenly, the voice of a legendary expert rose up, cutting through the clamor in the hall.

"Now that no one objects to the alliance, shouldn't we discuss the specifics next, such as the number of slots each of us has, and the criteria for entering the Dragon God's Treasure Kingdom?"

A middle-aged mage sat behind the table and spoke calmly, his voice amplified by magic, drowning out the clamor of discussion.

"Those who enter the Dragon God's Kingdom are below the legendary level in strength, but the Dragon Kings of the Golden Empire, though not legendary, possess legendary power..."

The ancestral white dragon, Garmott, who was having a quiet discussion with the copper dragon Alfred, sat up straight. His dragon claws, as if sculpted from ice, gently tapped on the table, the dull sound of which immediately silenced the room.

"The Empire promises that it will never send out beings like the Dragon King for any trial that enters the Dragon God's Treasure Kingdom,"

White Dragon Gemot grinned, revealing his fangs, "From now on, the criteria for selecting people from all sides to enter the Dragon God's Kingdom will be based on this."

"Regarding the quota for entering the Dragon God's Treasure Kingdom, although we haven't yet ascertained the true nature of the Dragon God's Treasure Kingdom, we already have a framework for the relevant regulations,"

All the Dragon Kings of the Golden Empires observed the reactions of the other legendary powerhouses in the hall.

In fact, when Kalon proposed the goal, the Golden Empire had not yet considered using this temporary alliance to build a long-term platform.

Even Karon wouldn't believe that he and the Golden Empire could accomplish such a thing on their own.

Kalon's goal was simply to use this alliance to gradually gain acceptance of the Dragon Empire within a long-term cooperative relationship based on shared interests.

The dominant position before the opening of the Dragon God's Treasure Kingdom cannot continue into the future. A dominant position, unless one has overwhelming strength, is tantamount to self-destruction.

Moreover, this Dragon God Kingdom Trial Grounds also presents a good opportunity for the Golden Empire civilization to spread its influence to hundreds of material planes.

The Golden Empire will exclusively control the quotas for dragons to enter the Dragon God's Treasure Kingdom, but it will not allow dragons of the Golden Empire to enjoy these quotas exclusively.

Instead, the plan is to use a portion of the available slots each time a trial is launched to attract dragons from other planes to join the Golden Empire's civilizational order, thereby gradually extending the Empire's civilizational influence to all dragons and material planes it can influence.

To become a top-tier civilization, one must act like one.

The Golden Empire, with one of its goals being to protect, rule, and transform all dragons, would naturally lean towards such a goal.

Therefore, the original plan between the Dragon Kings of the Golden Empire and the Legion Think Tank was to propose a relatively equal suggestion that the legendary powerhouses present would accept, and to set this precedent in stone, making it a long-term alliance.

With the influence of this covenant, the dragon ecosystems in these hundreds of material planes will also be gradually changed under the guidance of the Golden Empire.

However, the suggestion made by the legendary warrior Barry to establish a communication platform based on an alliance was approved by many legendary powerful figures.

Thus, the dragon kings of the Golden Empire devised an improved plan in a short period of time in order to expand the Golden Empire's voice in the future alliance.

"The number of trial slots available each time the Dragon God's Treasure Kingdom opens will be dynamically adjusted based on the needs of everyone present,"

White Dragon Gemott spoke slowly and deliberately, enunciating each word clearly: "Since everyone agrees to establish an unprecedented platform for exchange through this alliance,"

"Therefore, before each opening of the Dragon God's Treasure Kingdom, we, the members of our alliance, will hold a meeting on the platform to discuss and exchange ideas. Based on our respective needs and the limitations of the trial kingdom, the number of slots will be calculated by adding the slots offered by the parties with the most slots to those of our own party with the fewest slots, and the average of these slots will be the slots for the majority of our members."

"As for the number of slots occupied,"

White Dragon Grimhot, his eyes gleaming, addressed all the legends, saying, "Taking into account the strength of each member, the effort they have contributed in this matter, and the wealth and resources they have expended to uphold the alliance,"

"Given the legendary destiny of beings like Tokam and Lady Yareira, their combined strength will undoubtedly secure the most spots,"

"As the key to opening the Dragon God Kingdom, the Golden Empire naturally occupies the most slots, while members who do not have enough resources and wealth to contribute more will naturally receive the fewest slots. Do you all agree with this standard?"

These dragon kings did not intend for the empire to occupy a dominant position on the surface, but rather to ensure that the Golden Empire had a certain degree of influence within the alliance in another way.

One such measure is the adjustment of dynamic quotas.

Moreover, the Golden Empire's move was also a way of winning over the most outstanding legendary powerhouses. Even the two legendary chosen ones were pondering the implications and did not speak rashly.

The bronze dragon Alina and the other dragon kings exchanged glances, their unspoken understanding evident in the unspoken agreement of the Goggmora dragon pack.

The ensuing negotiations will inevitably be lengthy and tedious, but the dragon kings are prepared for it.

This alliance is the Golden Empire's opportunity and ticket to become a top-tier power in the astral realm!
