Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 607 Let the winds blow from east, west, north, or south.

People always assume that those who will be remembered throughout history should die a spectacular death, but far too many people have met a hasty and unsuccessful end.

Even the legendary king Aguna, as powerful as he was in the ancient era, eventually faded from the annals of history without a trace.

This further strengthened the resolve of the multi-armed giant Mogeyes to continue his journey through the stars in search of the true path of power.

Karon was not a native being of Ekania, so he inherited thousands of years of history and wisdom.

He knew that the Northern Wolf Lord, who once roamed the desolate north and was the hegemon of the various kingdoms during the Spring and Autumn Period, had ultimately become nothing more than a skeleton in the sand dunes, stealing bird eggs and starving to death in the deep palace.

He also knew that the once impoverished farmers had risen to prominence, become famous kings twice, and were renowned throughout the world, but ultimately met a tragic end.

He knew even better that the mighty king who had built up the legacy of six generations, swept across the world, and was the only one among millions to be called the "lonely and solitary king," would ultimately die a hasty death, his body covered by the stench of fish.

The first unified dynasty in the world ended with the reign of its second emperor.

The legacy of history has taught Caron that he cannot be too careful about the heavy responsibilities he bears and the goals he wants to achieve.

It is the civilization and wisdom of the past, along with all the experiences of this world, that have created the unique red dragon, Karon Gogmora.

It is often said that the only lesson people learn from history is that they never learn from history.

This view reflects a sense of helplessness in the face of repeating historical mistakes and a pessimistic attitude towards the development of history, but it is a cycle that is difficult for any world to avoid.

It was these historical lessons that inspired Karon Gogmora to develop the true dragon spirit of the Golden Empire and the philosophy of imperial rule.

But in the world that Karon experienced, the dangers and difficulties were a thousand times greater than those experienced by the kings and monarchs in his memory.

Because this world not only contains various powerful monster races, but also a divine throne that reigns supreme over all living beings.

The throne of gods, which reigns above all living beings, is not the most dangerous thing.

The words the white-robed mage once spoke with Karon, and the words of warning from the other god Boron, remained deeply buried in Karon's heart.

Especially after discovering those alien evil gods lurking deep within the core of the world in the spiritual realm, the ever-present sense of deadly crisis kept Kalon deeply vigilant.

If it weren't for all these factors combined, Charon originally planned to spend another century building up the Golden Empire's homeland, rather than so easily venturing into the depths of space.

He would not launch the entire Aikania civilization out of the plan before the empire had completed its full deployment, but would instead unite the Golden Empire and the kings of the Northern Lands, using immense pressure and incentives to drive all nations to expand into the stars.

Because Kalon Gogmora knew that although the Golden Empire had completed a certain degree of civilization and cultural development and stabilized its national structure and institutions, it still needed more time to allow the empire's influence to spread and change more dragons.

He also needs to give the new generation in the empire more time to grow, until the second, third and even several generations of dragons flourish and can stand on their own.

That would be the best time for him to launch his attack.

But as Charon's interaction with the spiritual world deepened, the perception from the rules had already told the great red dragon that the crisis that would engulf all life in the universe might have already begun.

Charon's intuition also told him that perhaps the reason why the many thrones above the astral plane rarely intervene in the material world in this day and age is not because the rules of the material world restrict the gods.

Rather, the gods were silently preparing for their own future.

The dragon gods' intervention in certain actions of the Golden Empire was also a way for them to prepare for their own future.

For Caron, he was never a passive person.

Creatures that express despair in dangerous environments, creatures that cannot see the light in the darkness, are nothing but cowards and opportunists.

Caron has always liked to maintain his initiative, in every aspect.

Even when interacting with female dragons like the green dragon Antajena and the silver dragon Chris Tiana, this great red dragon seemed to be in a passive and accepting position. However, until the female dragons met the requirements that Karon approved of, this great red dragon never expressed its own attitude.

Therefore, this journey across the stars, and even through the universe, was Caron's own choice.

For Karon, even staying in the world of Ekania, waiting for his empire and legions, and waiting for his loyal hounds to hunt for him, would be enough to achieve results that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

But working behind closed doors can never compare to the profound experience of firsthand observation, especially when the loyal hounds of this great red dragon are still sharpening their teeth and forging their claws and wings.

Fortunately, both Caron and Mogeyes achieved considerable success on this trip.

When Mogeyes and Charon bid farewell to the strange life forms they encountered in that star field and embarked on their journey once more, the life form of the multi-armed giant Mogeyes had already quietly evolved.

"Developing one's own unique laws of power is quite difficult,"

Mogeyes, with the Dragon Emperor's bell atop his enormous head, walked through the void, each step covering an immeasurable distance.

The Dragon Emperor Bell's thirst for power made even Mogyes, the giant king who had been revived and who purely hated the blood of giants, find it somewhat difficult to supply.

Mogyes always suspected in his heart that his power might also be one of the molten materials used by the red dragon Gogmora to forge this incredibly heavy bell.

However, when crossing the node channel where time and space intersect, he can only rely on the power of the Dragon Emperor's Bell to isolate himself from the surrounding chaotic and violent time-space ripples and storms.

Otherwise, if Mogyes were to resist the power of these ubiquitous chaotic rules with his own strength, he would have to exert ten or even dozens of times more effort to offset the enormous impact of the disturbance caused by the multi-armed giant and the dragon emperor traversing the intersection of time and space.

"Why did the ancient, abominable Titan, the Hundred-Handed Giant, devour all living beings in the world?"

"Even though this efficiency is lower than that of the orthodox legendary advancement, its quantity is enough to offset the qualitative improvement. Whenever the mixed rules within a hundred-armed giant cannot maintain balance, a new pair of arms will be born as a symbol of the balance of the hundred-armed giant's power advancement."

With some effort, Mogeyes lifted the massive bell that had slightly collapsed above his head. A powerful force surged from his head and continuously flowed into the bell.

This caused the passage through which the giant and the dragon traversed the space-time tunnel to occasionally resound with deep, resonant bell tolls.

The deep, resonant sound of the bell reverberated with visible, tangible sound waves, gently parting the ripples that tore apart the deep, seemingly endless, twisted passage.

That is the power of the rules for eliminating the malignant tumors that interfere with the orderly unity of spacetime in the channel where spacetime converges between different universes.

Even if an ordinary legendary figure unleashes their most powerful magical barrier, it cannot withstand it for long in this omnipresent temporal storm.

Even after enduring the impact of a long period of time, the enormous bell hanging above the multi-armed giant's head only showed faint marks of being struck on its outer surface. These marks of being struck and worn away quickly and spontaneously drew power from the temporal turbulence under the infusion of Mogeyes's power.

These chaotic forces of rules were disintegrated by the sound waves emanating from the enormous bell, and some of the extracted power was used as forging fire to refine itself, which in turn made the giant bell, as large as a house, even more powerful.

So much so that Mogeyes could see that the mountains, rivers, and all the creatures depicted on this enormous bell seemed to be imbued with a touch of mystery.

"The primordial hundred-armed giant devoured the world primarily to maintain its power and prevent it from declining, because its inherent rules were one with the universe,"

“But if I want to be stronger than the original Hundred-Handed Giant in the future, I have to forge my own path, just like you created your own Emperor's Law,”

"I also need to create rules that can unify all forces and reach the level of a truly eternal and unchanging power that transcends time and space,"

The rules are theoretically subject to infinite development, because for legends, rules are not only the underlying logic of the universe, but also the result of the legend's will and spirit distorting the underlying logic, or even changing the logic, and redefining a new logic.

Everyone has different views and understandings, so the rules are also different. Even if both sides understand and create the same general direction, the rules will still be very different.

Just like a god of war who holds the power of war, if he wants his power to become stronger, he must obtain sufficiently rich rewards in war.

Throughout history, many wars between races, nations, and civilizations have been sparked by the presence of a deity behind the scenes.

The legendary powerhouse who has mastered and created another branch of the laws of war will inevitably be keen to wage war for his own future, drawing ample nourishment from it.

The same applies to the Emperor's Law, which was established by Charon.

The more beings under the Dragon Emperor's rule, the more prosperous the races that accept the Golden Empire's order of governance become, and the more the Emperor's Law established by Kalon will naturally rise in power and grow stronger day by day.

When this great red dragon ascends to legendary status one day, the shadow of a dragon emperor will naturally appear in the underlying logic of the universe.

At that time, the emperor will not only be a title and a symbol of power, but also a symbol of a great force in the universe.

Since Mogeyes realized the path to true power, he had to delve into every aspect of that path.

Without understanding time and space, without understanding the universe, without understanding matter and spirit, one cannot truly harness the power to connect all of these.

However, Mogeyes also knew that his talent in this area was not as great as that of the red dragon sitting on his shoulder, and he could not delve into all aspects of it.

Therefore, Moges had to avoid his weaknesses and create his own path from another perspective.

“I do not yet understand the rules of the God of Power’s authority, Gogmora. If we want to make this way, we will probably find it difficult to bypass the restrictions of this god.”

Karon, in his dragonborn form, sat comfortably on Mogyes's shoulder, his lower limbs swinging gently, but his consciousness was immersed in analyzing the star magic and stellar rules left behind by the ancient legendary king, Aguna.

The Star Magic Pillars of Aguna, formed by thousands of fundamental rules of the universe, are so vast that even Karon cannot fully digest them and can only gradually analyze and receive them.

Most importantly, although the knowledge contained herein was gained by Aguna through his travels across most of the star regions of the universe, it is not an absolute truth.

At least Caron never simply reads from the book; he only uses his own knowledge and understanding to organize the knowledge and transform it into his own understanding and insights.

This also made the process much longer and more difficult.

However, as the sorting process deepened, Kalon discovered the most crucial magic among the knowledge left behind by Aguna—the magic transmutation circle!

It was precisely because of Aguna's magical alchemy array that he used magic to transform almost all the stars in this star field into his own pillar of stellar laws that Aguna, with his legendary status, was able to kill the true form of the evil god who descended from another realm.

In theory, Aguna, who resides in this star field, is the lord of all stars, the king of all stars, possessing the power of all the stars in this star field, and his power is inexhaustible unless the stars perish.

Charon even felt that at the height of this ancient legendary king's power, he was strong enough to face the gods directly above the astral plane and stand on equal footing with many weak gods.

As for the neutron death star they faced before, although Charon's current power was sufficient to divide and modify it, it would take a considerable amount of time, whether by slowly dividing it using the law of disintegration or by gradually modifying it in other ways.

But once he grasped the core of the Star Magic, Charon felt that modifying this neutron death star would be effortless.

Just as everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, so too does the power of laws.

The neutron death star was like a toy in the hands of Aguna, and the Dragon Emperor, who would later master the magic of the stars, would be able to do the same.

However, even as he immersed himself in his own path and ocean of knowledge, Charon still retained some attention on the multi-armed giant.

Therefore, when the multi-armed giant said that he could not avoid the limitations of the god of strength, Charon suddenly raised his head slightly.

The development of rules poses no obstacle or limitation to the universe. However, for the beings who specifically create and master these rules, it becomes a struggle for a path.

The reason why it is said that one cannot become a master without wisdom, and one cannot become a legend without foresight.

It is also because on the path beyond legend, one must not only try to avoid conflicts and contradictions between one's own laws and the underlying logic of the universe, but also avoid those pioneers who have already mastered and created the rules.

Just like that legendary powerhouse who once died under the claws of Kalon, whose rule was the Dragon Slaying Domain.

Their future path is destined to clash with the dragon race, and they cannot coexist.

The rules established by later generations can be integrated into the paths of those who came before, creating new branches, but they cannot easily violate the underlying logic of the rules established by those who came before.

Once the underlying logic of those who came first is violated, it becomes a life-or-death struggle.

Many of the dangers and forbidden zones that exist in the universe are caused by the chaos and distortion resulting from the conflict of underlying rules and logic among many powerful rule-makers throughout history.

Compared to such contradictions and struggles, the fact that the authority of the God of Power is shaken is a minor matter.

From the largest to the smallest, we can also see that the reason why the descendants of many powerful races in the universe can never surpass their bloodline ancestors is because they are bound by established rules and cannot break free from their influence.

"Why worry about this, Mogyes,"

Charon looked at the giant, grinning, "When we encounter a mountain blocking our path, we'll smash it; when we encounter a river in our way, we'll cross it."

"No difficulty can stop us from going forward!"
