Defeat the entire world with the power of one dragon!

Chapter 504 Gods, and Godlike Life

"Please feel free to abuse me."

Zolaya clung tightly to the Red Iron Dragon's hard and majestic body, her sharp teeth gnawing at its scales. She felt as if she were being crushed by the weight of the entire world, her bones trembling, her mind going completely blank with trembling, leaving only primal submission and merging.

a long time.

The hall, which had been shaking like an earthquake, slowly returned to calm.

Dust fell softly from the stone pillars, shimmering like glitter in the moonlight streaming through the high window.

With a flash of light, the Red Iron Dragon reverted to its original form, spreading its wings, and the sweltering heat gradually subsided.

He stretched his neck, his joints making a dull clicking sound, while the blue dragon remained in human form, nestled gently between the dragon's claws, its cheek pressed against the dragon scales, its breathing heavy and not yet steady.

"You can rest here."

Garros spoke slowly, allowing the blue dragon to remain in his palace.

After this period of indulgence, he prepared to familiarize himself with his increased power and master it perfectly. Those new skills would require time to hone before he could use them with ease.

Upon hearing this, Zolaya raised her head and looked up at the imposing dragon face.

Moonlight streamed through a skylight in the dome, flowing across Garros's dark scales and outlining their cold, metallic contours. Her gaze glided over his thorns and neck scales, finally settling on his deep, vertical pupils.

She said, “My king, please wait a moment. I have a request, and I hope you will grant it.”

The dragon paused slightly, then looked down at Zolaya: "Tell me first, I will consider it."

Zoraya's voice was slightly hoarse as she whispered, "I want to leave more of your bloodline in this world, to give birth to excellent and powerful offspring for you."

A typical blue dragon community is often based on family ties.

The offspring of the Dragon Lord, and also his warriors.

In the tradition of dragons, offspring are not only the continuation of bloodline, but also the extension and protection of power. Zoraya received such education from childhood, with little regard for family ties and a focus on self-interest.

Galos looked at Zoraya quietly, and roughly understood her thoughts.

Zolaya possesses the mindset of a blue dragon and has received the inheritance and education of evil dragons since childhood.

She won't have much affection for her children.

In Zolaya's eyes, having a child with the emperor would, on the one hand, allow the Kingdom of Aura to grow stronger and increase its high-end combat power; on the other hand, it would be an important resource for consolidating her position.

With offspring carrying the emperor's blood, her position in the kingdom will become even more unshakeable.

"Yes, but there's a condition."

Galos said slowly, "My offspring will serve the kingdom, serve me, not your Dominic dragon herd." He paused, gazing at the blue dragon, her slightly tense face reflected in his pupils: "Do you understand?"

Zoraya nodded obediently, her long hair gliding over her fair shoulders.

“My king, I understand.”

She said, running her fingers along the gaps in the scales on the back of the dragon's claw.

"Besides, as you know, I'm very sensible and never cause you any trouble."

"In the future, when the descendants grow up, these sons of the emperor will fight for their father's glory and for the banner of Aura."

Upon hearing this, Garus nodded slightly.

Perhaps because Zolaya still possesses the bloodline of a green dragon, she has always been ambitious, cunning, and adept at disguise and deception.

But Galos was not worried about her.

As Zoraya herself said, she was very sensible.

She knows when to show her claws and when to conceal her sharpness, knows where the bottom line is, and rarely crosses it. And this is all predicated on the fact that she has Galos above her, keeping her in check.

As long as the Red Iron Dragon remains on the throne, Zolaya's ambition will only be a driving force for the kingdom's development, not a threat to division.

In fact, it wasn't just Zoraya.

The reason why the entire Kingdom of Aura is so cohesive is because of the existence of Garos.

He is the hub, the cornerstone, and the pillar.

If he were to pass away one day, this kingdom... would fall apart and cease to exist in a very short time.

Dragons will lead their followers to establish their own territories, and lords will establish their own independent kingdoms.

Overall, Aura is a very deformed kingdom.

Galos was well aware of this, but he didn't care.

His original intention in establishing the kingdom was never to "make the dragon race great again." Those were just propaganda slogans used to unite the dragons, boost morale, and make management easier.

The true purpose of this kingdom is to serve him, and nothing more.

Provide resources to support his evolutionary path and become a ladder for him to reach higher levels.

“Come to me once every month.”

Red Iron Dragon said this to Zolaya, then strode steadily away from the palace.

Zolaya watched him disappear at the end of the corridor, then slowly relaxed her body, lying back in the soft pile of fur, her posture languid, savoring the pain in her body and the pleasure she had just experienced.

Soon after, Galus arrived at the northern foothills of the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

This was his usual training ground, a rugged location far from the hustle and bustle. Galos did not begin training immediately; he folded his wings, lost in thought.

He was somewhat curious whether his children with Zolaya would inherit his Eye of True Sight or the Claw of Destruction.

If so, it means that as he evolves more traits, his offspring will inherit more of his traits.

And then the second generation, the third generation... and many more generations of offspring are born.

As the dragon race with Garros bloodlines grows stronger, it may even give rise to a new species of dragon.

This is good for Galos.

"I don't yet know where the limit of my evolutionary talent lies, but if there is a limit, to the point that my growth rate becomes extremely slow after reaching a certain level, perhaps..."

"I can go a step further by creating entirely new types of dragons."

He thought to himself.

This is a world where gods exist.

On the planet Bernardo, the influence of the gods is limited and not absolute, but in most worlds, gods are synonymous with being high above.

The realm beyond legend is called the realm of immortality.

Every legend's goal is to become an immortal being; it is also the threshold to the realm of gods.

After achieving immortality, there are two main directions for development.

First, the gods.

By gaining the approval of a supreme deity, creating extraordinary achievements, accumulating immense faith, or other means, one can ignite the divine fire, solidify divine status, acquire authority, and attain a divine position.

Second, god-like life.

By constantly pushing one's own limits, through pure, self-powered strength, one can rival the divine with a non-divine body, without relying on faith or authority, but only believing in one's own strength and will.

These two directions each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

In general, deities have a broader prospect for development, with a clear path to advancement. Moreover, their authority is almost omnipotent, and they can do things far beyond what mortals can imagine. However, the price is that they are bound by faith, must maintain their divine duties, compete with other deities, and may even perish due to the decline of their faith.

As for godlike beings... their future is uncertain.
Each god-like being has its own path, which cannot be replicated or even referenced from the paths of other god-like beings. Growth is more difficult, and one wrong step may lead to permanent stagnation.

However, godlike beings also have fewer constraints such as the need for faith, are much freer, and have a more solid foundation.

"If you have a choice, it's best to have them all."

"Take the dragon gods, for example. They are gods, but they are also god-like beings. This is the reason why the dragon gods are so powerful."

Galos pondered to himself.

A long time ago, his goal was simply to live longer and live more comfortably.

He has now actually achieved this goal.

But he was not satisfied with this. He harbored a greater ambition: to become one of those eternal beings that transcended the many worlds, escaping the erosion of time and overlooking the rise and fall of civilizations.

This is very difficult.

Countless worlds, countless years, countless beings... The eternal existences we all know are always the same ones. So many brilliant minds have fallen along the way, so many magnificent empires have turned to dust, leaving not even a legend behind.

Galos didn't know how far he could go.

But he didn't feel lost; instead, he made a clear plan for himself.

One must take things one step at a time. First, become a legendary figure, then touch the threshold of immortality, and then... consider things further ahead.

In his future plans.

Achieving both divine status and godlike life simultaneously is the first choice, but also the most difficult.

Secondly, it is developing in the direction of god-like life, because Galos does not want too many constraints and restrictions.

Finally, there is the purely divine direction.

If he could create a new dragon species with stable genetics and a large scale, then he would have a good chance to use it as a basis to gather relevant divine authority, ignite the divine fire, and achieve the position of a god.

The worst, and simplest, option is to swallow all one's own treasures and hold a deification ceremony.

This could also make him one of the gods, but his rank among the gods would be very low, and his upper limit would be basically locked, because the divine personality formed by this kind of trickery is often weak and the divine role is also vague.

However, even the weakest god is still a god.

If immortal beings, or even gods, knew that a legend who hadn't even reached the level of destiny was planning the path to godhood and godlike status, and even categorizing them into different levels, they would probably find the ignorance of mortals laughable.

It's like humans watching slightly larger ants discuss how to build a bridge across the sea.

However, Galus didn't care about any of that.

He only knew that as long as he put in the effort and took each step firmly, he would have no regrets even if the final result was failure.

At least he tried, struggled, and reached out his claws toward eternity.

call!
Hong Tielong took a deep breath of the winter wind; the icy air filled his lungs, cooling his restless thoughts.

He temporarily put aside those distant plans, focused on the present, and began to familiarize himself with his own characteristics and various new skills, while also not neglecting to develop his career path.
