The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

Io·Nine-faced Dragon God·Senluo Dragon of Concord·Eternal Wheel

As the god who created the dragon clan, Io believes that dragons can put aside their hatred for each other, unite and help each other, and live in harmony.

In fact, before He disappeared, Io had been working hard towards this goal.

When the Star World was first born, many of the main material planes were still being nurtured, and the gods were still in their infancy and were not as powerful as they are now.

As the first dragon clan created by Io, these unique ancestral dragons possessed legendary strength and super giant size (more than 35 meters) when they were born. At that time, no other race except the gods could Comparable to a real dragon.

At that time, Tiamat and Bahamut did not exist yet, and the dragon gods such as Tamara were in their infancy and were not even demigods yet. Apart from the Nine-faced Dragon God, the strongest members of the dragon clan were three. An ancestral dragon god.

They are: [Golden Dragon King·Exoton], [Red Dragon King·Blood Tide], [Amethyst Dragon King·Star].

Ai Ou has no intention of power, so the entire dragon clan is managed by three ancestral dragon gods.

At the same time, in order to allow these behemoths enough space to survive and reproduce, Io put all of these ancestral dragons, regardless of their identity, good or evil, and strength, into a huge circular plane that he created.

According to the preferences of the dragons, Io transformed this plane into areas with completely different attributes. It has the most abundant environmental climates: forests, oceans, cold peaks, volcanoes, swamps, plains. Whether it is Any kind of true dragon can find its favorite habitat in this strange plane.

This is the first dragon plane in the star realm, and also the first main material plane.

The period when the star realm was ruled by dragons was also called the Age of Dragons.

In the early days of the Age of Dragons, the dragon clan had no dragon literature, no dragon inheritance, and no dragon language magic. All dragons lived in the same plane. Even the five-color dragons and metal dragons lived together, and there were often two new ones. A mixed-race child is born.

This is a completely unimaginable scenario in the post-Dragon era.

It can be said that the entire dragon society was in an exploratory stage at that time. (At this time, Elizabeth has ascended to the position of the Succubus King and rules the bottomless abyss)

As the dragon clan gradually multiplied and multiplied in the star world, the number of real dragons soon exceeded 10 billion.

At this time, a huge drawback that Io had never considered gradually emerged.

That is, the original dragon plane began to be unable to support the increasing number of true dragons.

At the peak of the dragon plane, even if there were a large number of true dragons living together (multiple adult dragons building a dragon nest together), the average living area available to each true dragon was not more than five square kilometers!

It's hard to imagine that those behemoths, which are often tens of meters tall, can only live in such a "small" area, and even only need to wave their wings once to patrol their "territory".

And this terrible situation is that as the new baby dragons hatch and grow, the already narrow living space continues to become smaller year by year.

Because of this, various different voices began to appear within the Dragon Clan.

Some ancestral dragons proposed to move away from this native plane and find a new living space (metal dragon clan); some ancestral dragons suggested that all dragons stop giving birth and use their spellcasting power to create more floating island continents to alleviate the problem. There is pressure on living space (Gemstone Dragon Clan); there are also some extreme ancestral dragons who propose to use their fists to determine the size of the territory of their respective tribes, and the loser will eat the dust (Five Color Dragon Clan).

The shrinking of the territory is like a fuse, gradually igniting the suppressed emotions of the real dragons. Among them, the most serious conflict is between the five-color dragons who naturally advocate evil and the metal dragons who advocate fairness.

In the later stages, large-scale dragon wars even began to break out in the dragon plane. Countless true dragons began to use their races as combat groups to compete with other dragon tribes for suitable living places.

At that time, most of the real dragons who did not know how to use magic still relied on their strong bodies to fight against the dragon's breath. This also meant that every battle was extremely dangerous, and the loser could only choose between death or serious injury.

Therefore, the Dragon Clan's first large-scale internal fight resulted in hundreds of thousands of huge casualties, and irreparable gaps began to appear in the relationships between the various clans. Among them, the battle between the five-color dragons and the metal dragons was the most intense. The highest number of deaths.

Every fight between giant dragons is like a sharp blade piercing deeply into the heart of the creator of the dragon clan.

After attributing all the reasons to "insufficient living space".

then

The great Io, the nine-faced dragon god, and the eternal wheel appear in the star realm again.

He used his fiery blood to create many huge islands in the starry sky for his children - thus the Blood Island of Io was born.

Each of these huge islands is comparable in size to a giant dragon plane, enough to house all the dragons at that time and obtain a satisfactory territory area.

But out of the desire for the harmonious coexistence of the children, the Nine-faced Dragon God once again gathered his children on the Blood Island of Io. He asked them to find a way to live together - a coexistence of ten thousand dragons, but not A lifestyle that leads to war.

To put it simply, Io hopes to see the dragons give up their prejudices against each other, not living their own lives, but living together in a hodgepodge, just like the silver dragon and the dragon in the original dragon plane. White dragons play together, blue dragons and brass dragons coexist peacefully, gold dragons and red dragons go on adventures together

[Ron couldn't help complaining: This dragon creator's idea is a bit too natural. Rice in a big pot is not that delicious. 】

Through the Sage's Dream, Io guided three ancestral dragons, each of them the finest of their race.

One after another, they have recurring dreams in which there is only one vision: the Dragon Council.

Soon, the three inspired ancestral dragons met each other secretly in a hidden place.

While seeing each other's appearance, the three ancestral dragons had the same idea in their hearts:

"It's really the two of them!"

Yes, the three true dragons selected by Io are the three dragon kings who previously led the dragon clan: Golden Dragon King Axelton, Red Dragon King Blood Tide, and Amethyst Dragon King Star.

The three dragon kings looked at each other, nodded without surprise, and then said at the same time:

"We need a place big enough to gather many dragons." X3

Without much hesitation, Golden Dragon Axelton was the first to take the initiative to disclose his dream:

"We need to provide a lair for all the true dragons. In a place where there are no tribes or families to rule, I have seen this place with golden plains and huge lairs. In my dream, it was called the Island of All Clans."

"The gathering place is very good. Father God has given us Blood Island." Red Dragon Blood Tide counterattacked loudly:

"But how do you keep a place like this from turning into another killing field? We must replace dragon warfare with something decisive but not lethal. In my dream, I see the challenge of Claw and Wing."

As they spoke, the two leaders of each ethnic group subconsciously began to confront each other.

This stems from the hatred between the two races that has existed for tens of thousands of years. Even if they have excellent personal relations with each other, Axelton and Bloodtide must fight for more benefits for their respective races.

"Both dreams must be merged!"

Accompanied by a voice as crisp as a silver bell, sweet and tenacious, a purple shadow blocked the center of the two dragon kings' gaze.

Amethyst Dragon Star stood between the two dragon kings, took the initiative to hold their clenched dragon claws and said softly:

"No dream in itself can satisfy the dragons and the great Io, but I have seen a way to bind them."

Then, she told her dream:

"In my dream, I saw a group of dragons gathering together to decide the course of the Blood Island of Io, mediate formal challenges, and deal with problems that no single tribe or family could solve."

"Of course, not just any dragon will sit in this council. No, only the best ancient dragons and ancient dragons among us can, because this will be a dragon council!"

With the mediation of the Amethyst Dragon, the two dragon kings finally reached an agreement.

From that day on, the systems of [Dragon Island] and [Dragon Council] were born.

In order to allow the parliament to proceed smoothly, Amethyst Dragon Star took the initiative to donate her tribe's island to the soon-to-be-established parliament, and the descendants of her relatives on the island were moved by her to the nearby Starlight Island, where the Amethyst Dragon settled in the northeastern mountains. .

From that time on, Parliament Island was known as the Isle of All Clans, a name that came from the dream of the golden dragon Axelton.

Nearly every clan provided vassals—primarily dwarves and gnomes—to build the great council chambers, while the leaders of the three dragon clans sat together to devise the rules of the council itself.

Because both Dragon Island and the Council Chamber needed a caretaker, and because Xingxian felt that such a task was more suitable for a person with a balanced perspective, Xingxian handed over her tribe to her eldest son so that she could fully devote herself to the dragon. parliament.

In this way, Xingxiang became the first dragon without a tribe in the history of the Dragon Clan, and at the same time became a member of all tribes.

She became caretaker, gatekeeper and parliamentary secretary, a task she permanently handed over to future generations.

Speaking of this, even Elizabeth couldn't help showing a hint of emotion in her eyes for the kind-hearted Amethyst Dragon God's dedication.

Because until the day she was sealed, an amethyst dragon from the Star Family still held this important position until the clan was annihilated.

On the other hand, from the moment the first Dragon Council was convened, the Council proved its worth in preventing dragon wars.

It provides a platform for expressing problems and arriving at solutions, providing a platform for expressing ideas and opinions. It allows dragons of different opinions and temperaments to work together for a common cause.

Parliament offered a way to calm down before settling the matter through deadly combat.

The Dragon Council continues to mediate tribal disputes and prevent the recurrence of dragon wars.

Here, all dragons, including legendary dragons, metal dragons, chromatic dragons and gem dragons, must strive to live together in harmony, because this is the will of the Nine-Faced Dragon God.

In order to fulfill the wishes of great Io, the dragons of each tribe will have a place here, a seat in this council.

These dragons will serve as the spokespersons of their tribes, as the last conscience of the dragon clan, and as the true leaders of Io Blood Island (Dragon Island).

Speaking of this, Elizabeth suddenly smiled sarcastically, looked at Ron who was bowing his head in thought and said in a deep voice:

"Do you know what the laws were set by the First Dragon Council?"

"have no idea."

Ron gave his answer honestly.

Raising her head, Elizabeth looked at the bright moon outside the window and said word by word:

"Law 1 of the Dragon Council: Dragons do not fight dragons."

"Well, I probably know why no information from the Dragon Council has been handed down."

Ron spread his hands and couldn't help but chimed in with a smile:

"This violates the first rule, which means that neither the good dragon nor the evil dragon will accept the system of the Dragon Council. Even a saint can't help but get angry sometimes, let alone a giant dragon."

"Excessive restrictions will only disgust all dragons, even if it is for the sake of peace and life."

Elizabeth nodded, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes:

"Yes, violence and betrayal always go hand in hand, and even the closest people are inevitably bewitched by it."

But she quickly calmed down and continued to explain the importance of this item at the time:

"In fact, this rule saved hundreds of millions of dragons in the star world at that time, and also gave the dragon gods room for relaxation. The resolution of the problem between the two parties no longer only involved a head-on conflict, but more A more peaceful alternative.”

In fact, the Dragon Council Law is not so unkind.

According to the interpretation of the First Law, when disputes arise within the dragon clan, the wisdom of the Dragon Council is to be sought.

With this wisdom, dragons don't have to bleed.

[Ron: But it will definitely get angry. 】

The Council's decisions are final and binding on all dragons, and no dragon has authority over the Council.

[Ron: What about Io? 】

No dragon organization can exist other than the Council.

[Ron: Good guy, let’s just say that everyone in the family members should stop accepting it. 】

When differences arise, they will be resolved by the "Challenge of Claws and Wings" proposed by the Blood Tide of the Red Dragon King. The winner of this challenge shall be deemed correct and true, which will resolve all dragon disputes.

[Ron: So Bahamut’s rules are inherited from the Red Dragon King’s legacy, right? 】

After complaining in his heart, Ron finally figured out the origins of the Dragon Parliament and the Dragon Parliament.

But soon he had a new doubt:

"Speaking of which, since there is such a parliament that can discuss things fairly, how could the Dragon Clan develop into the current situation where they are fighting on their own?"

Ron looked at Elizabeth and asked.

According to the information leaked from her previous words, this ancient man completely experienced the rise, fall and transformation of the dragon clan, and was not completely isolated and sealed in the blood mist space until tens of thousands of years ago.

Without any concealment, Elizabeth simply replied: "Because there are two rebels in the Dragon Council."

"Are they?"

Although he was asking, Ron already had an answer in his mind.

Elizabeth glanced at the rainbow dragon in front of her and chuckled:

"Didn't you just meet one of them?"

Ron's heart sank:

"You mean"

"Yes, those two rebels are Bahamut and Tiamat."

After saying that, Elizabeth picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the fresh tea, quietly waiting for the other party to speak.

But surprisingly, she didn't hear Ron's voice of disbelief.

"You know about this?"

Elizabeth couldn't help but turned her head and looked at Ron who was drinking tea calmly and asked proactively.

Ron shook his head, put down the tea cup and said calmly:

"I didn't know that before, but based on your attitude towards Lao Ba before and after, it's not difficult to deduce this fact, right?"

This guy is really a strange dragon.

Muttering in her heart, Elizabeth had no choice but to continue telling what happened next:

"After Io died fighting the Lord of Terror, his body transformed into Bahamut and Tiamat, and led the gods to defeat the remaining gods and demons. After successfully expelling them outside the star realm Later, the reputation of those two dragons reached a certain peak, and even the Dragon Council tried to invite them as the host."

"However, on the day the two dragons entered the Parliament Island, betrayal also came at the same time."

Ron frowned, seeing Elizabeth sitting there and delaying telling the second half of the story, so he urged:

"What happened next? What happened after entering the parliament?"

"Later? How did I know!"

Elizabeth replied confidently:

"That battle took place on the Dragon Council Island, which is hidden in the barrier, and it also involved many dragon gods. Even in my heyday, I couldn't forcefully spy on it. I don't know, it's normal."

"."

Three black lines flashed in the back of Ron's head, and he resisted the thought of slashing the broken dog in front of him with a claw, and spoke again:

"What about the result? You know this, right?"

Seeing Ron holding his breath, Elizabeth couldn't help but have a look of successful prank on her face.

I make you always pretend to be calm in front of me. Let me break your defense this time!

But in order to prevent the listener from telling the truth on the spot, she said obediently without further delay:

"As a result, the Parliament Island was sunk into the void turbulence, and the Io Blood Island was shattered into billions of fragments, which were scattered into countless main planes to form the many miniature dragon islands you see now."

"And with the fragmentation of Io Blood Island, the three ancestral dragon gods also disappeared."

At this point, Elizabeth couldn't help but spat, and said with disdain:

"But all the gods in the star world know that Bahamut and Tiamat must have joined forces to kill them, because only when the three ancestral dragons who are the creators die can this ancient meeting disappear."

"But." Ron frowned and asked:

"What's in it for either of them?"

"The reason is simple."

Elizabeth got up and walked silently to the window.

The silent moonlight shone on her face, and in Gu Jing Wubo's bloody pupils, a silver moon was rising slowly.

"war."

Ignoring Ron's instantly narrowed pupils, Elizabeth said calmly:

"In fact, until I was sealed, Tiamat and Bahamut had been inciting the five-color dragons and metal dragons to engage in genocidal war." (End of this chapter)
