The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Even though Atilan's shift was very abrupt, Cerestis still gave him a way out. He patted Atilan's shoulder and said with a laugh:

"You really are a lucky star. Jaina told me that Gai'ogai only grasped that breakthrough feeling after meeting you. Now, it's thanks to you that I've found an opportunity to reclaim Dragon Island."

Atilan's eyes darted around.

"Dragon Island has already collapsed, hasn't it? Could there be some hidden secret behind Dragon Island?"

Cerestis nodded, caressing the Ocean Dragon Soul in his hand.

"Of course. Otherwise, the Metallic Dragons and Chromatic Dragons wouldn't have joined forces to attack Dragon Island. It was all for a substance produced on Dragon Island that can enhance the power of dragons. The advanced class that dragons can achieve as quasi-gods is called God-Sealing Dragon, also known as Ascendant Dragon."

"This substance can assist in the cultivation of quasi-gods. According to the information I obtained, when the Elemental Dragons built Dragon Island, they used a large amount of Mountain Dragon Soul and Ocean Dragon Soul power."

"The Metallic Dragons and Chromatic Dragons that occupied Dragon Island were indeed chosen from various material planes, loyal to their faith. In one material plane, there might be hundreds or thousands of dragons, but only three to five such existences."

"It is said that the dragons who attacked Dragon Island back then even blocked out the sun and the sky. That was basically most of the dragons they could mobilize in the material plane."

"Now, these dragons have gradually become disobedient to their superiors because they have benefited from Dragon Island, so the survival pressure on us Elemental Dragons will be much smaller."

Cerestis stroked his chin and said:

"Over the years, I have used the Ocean Dragon Soul to help many friends reproduce, and the Elemental Dragons cultivated are no fewer than one hundred, even two hundred. As a result, most of the little dragons have grown up smoothly."

"Originally, I thought it was because our actions were relatively secretive. Now it seems that they lack the power to hunt us down!"

No matter what kind of dragon, once they become advanced dragons or quasi-gods, it is impossible for them to easily listen to orders from above. Even Ancient Dragons, if they have no desire for progress, can completely ignore them.

The dragons that can be manipulated by the Dragon God, apart from those fanatical believers, are only a very small number of dragons with ambition. As long as you have desires, the Dragon God will have ways to manipulate you.

Although Metallic Dragons want to increase their strength, they are ultimately of the good alignment and have more bottom lines than Chromatic Dragons. They cannot slaughter other types of dragons at will.

But there is no way. Elemental Dragons are not good guys. They do have the ability to manipulate the elements to slowly improve the world.

But just like those dragon myths before Atilan's transmigration, some bring rain for good, and some stir up trouble for evil. Even with the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Rules watching, they dare to do so.

Not to mention this fantasy universe with relatively free rules and insufficient control of the material plane by the upper gods. The practices of the Elemental Dragons are naturally a little too extreme.

Just like Cerestis, even though the Elemental Dragons already need to behave cautiously, he still created such a large lake in the center of the continent and even continued to fight against humans and dwarves for hundreds of years.

Bahamut, as a good god, cannot come forward in many matters, but he also has many subordinate gods and quasi-gods who follow him, and they can very well act as Bahamut's white gloves.

In order to maintain his divine image, Bahamut is definitely asleep every time something happens. Anyway, he doesn't know anything, and he can't be awakened even if something happens.

After waking up, he will be furious and reprimand his subordinates who did wrong, and put the blame on the other party. After the storm passes, he will give compensation. Those who understand, understand.

Odeithis was very excited.

"So, our Elemental Dragons can get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as we develop enough Elemental Dragons, even if they send out a coalition again, we won't be afraid!"

"Not to mention, their coalition has already begun to kill each other."

Cerestis shook his head and said:

"These dragons have already been driven by the superiors once, and the promises from above are no longer very effective for them. You may think that the fighting between the Metallic Dragons and Chromatic Dragons is very tragic."

"But Mother said that she was able to escape because her three brothers paid the price of their lives to open the Metallic Dragon's blockade, while that Black Dragon escaped very easily."

"I believe they would not want to come again for that kind of tragic war. Besides, thousands of years have passed, and the Dragon God must have cultivated new believers."

"The power that has already been exposed to our eyes cannot become a fatal blow."

Atilan instantly woke up. That's right, the dragons of Dragon Island are being watched by them. Even if there is any action, the Elemental Dragons can disperse in time and escape from the elemental plane.

Only by dispatching a force that the Elemental Dragons don't know about can they successfully strangle the Elemental Dragons, even if not all of them, they can make the Elemental Dragons lose the possibility of confronting the Metallic Dragons and Chromatic Dragons and giving birth to quasi-gods.

"Lord Cerestis, do you think our Elemental Dragons still have hidden quasi-gods?"

Cerestis's eyes were very complicated.

"Maybe. Once their strength reaches the level of quasi-gods, even the Dragon God will not be able to kill them easily. They hide in the dark and do not appear, waiting for the fate of the Elemental Dragons to truly revive."

"Or is it because they are afraid of death and dare not oppose the Dragon God?"

Atilan smiled and clenched his fist.

"In any case, our fate will ultimately be in our own hands. Maybe they have already taken action in secret, but our level is too low, so we didn't see it."

"Just like the Elemental Dragon Souls, if they don't expose themselves, who knows whether they are ordinary gems or Dragon God orbs?"

Cerestis nodded firmly. Atilan's words made him more determined. The revival of the Elemental Dragons lies in him, in the Ocean Dragon Soul, and in the united front.

"Indeed, we cannot place our hopes on those potentially existing quasi-gods. Atilan, I am becoming more and more optimistic about you. I approve of you and my daughter becoming partners."

"Of course, my approval alone is not enough. Only when you get Odeithis's approval can you become partners."

Such a democratic father is indeed very rare.

Cerestis took out a green gem exuding a strong aura of life and threw it to Atilan.

"Take it, this is what you deserve."

"This is...?"

"Dragon God Essence. Now that the united front has just been established, the black dragon you captured and the strategy for attacking Dragon Island are enough for this Dragon God Essence."

Atilan carefully examined the gem in his hand.

"Why does the Dragon God Essence feel so similar to Dragon Balls and Elemental Dragon Souls?"

Sesthystis said with a smile:

"I don't know why, but the Elemental Dragon God just likes this kind of magical tool-like energy organ refined by Eastern Essence Dragons, even though he was born in this material plane."

"There's a long way to go from the Eastern World Cluster. It's impossible that he encountered an Essence Dragon on an outing in the Elemental Realm and received guidance from a senior, right?"

Regarding the archeology of the Elemental Dragon God, almost all ambitious Elemental Dragons are doing it. Everyone wants to know how he transformed from an Elemental Dragon into the Elemental Dragon God at the pinnacle of the Dragon race.

He even almost completed the unification of the Dragon race, making all Dragons worship him. Even a Dragon God King is not enough to describe his goal.

If we could understand the history of such an ambitious and skillful being, even if we couldn't completely replicate it, perhaps we could achieve the Dragon God position just by referring to a part of it.

This idea drives Elemental Dragons, even Metal Dragons and Chromatic Dragons, especially the Gem Dragons living in the Elemental Realm, to constantly seek the relics left by the Elemental Dragon God in the past.

"Don't go to the banquet. Go back to the Forest of Gae Oghie to absorb the power of the Dragon God Essence."

"I understand."

Atilan didn't say much, directly transformed back into his dragon form, and then stuffed the Dragon God Essence into his stomach and sealed it, flying towards the forest.

"Father, I'm also going to see how perfect this territory that you have always praised, Gae Oghie, has built, and see who is more powerful than our Sea of Life!"

Sesthystis shook his head. If only considering the area and effect of the territory, the Sea of Life he created would definitely be more powerful, but Gae Oghie's cultivation of the forest doesn't have the help of the Ocean Dragon Soul like he does.

Comparing the techniques, he wasn't much better than Gae Oghie. Considering the innate talent of Elemental Dragons to influence the environment, Gae Oghie was actually more powerful than him.

Because Gae Oghie is younger, the methods he uses to change the environment are all knowledge he learned later and gradually formed his own style.

Unlike Sesthystis, who is still going around in the talent domain from Swamp Dragon to Ocean Dragon.

Flying into the air, Atilan was thinking about why Sesthystis gave him a Dragon God Essence. As for rewarding his achievements, Atilan didn't believe a word of it.

If it was really an achievement, Sesthystis would definitely make a big deal out of it in front of everyone.

The anxious frog is always touching your stomach!

He successfully made the Ocean Dragon Soul shine. This king, who truly has the future development of Elemental Dragons in his heart, tacitly chose to increase investment in Atilan, this successor.

Investing in the younger generation made Atilan feel that Sesthystis was actually somewhat pessimistic about his own godhood and the future of the Elemental Dragons' growth.

Audrey chased after him.

"Hey, you're really going back to absorb the Dragon God Essence just because Father told you to! What about our experiment?"

"Don't worry, I know a place that is more suitable for us to do experiments. Punk can release his explosive power with peace of mind without worrying about affecting the neighbors."

The central area of the Southwest Great Desert has not been polluted by the necromantic magic and undead plague of the Dragon Lich Deathclaw. Punk's explosive power has the weak destructive power of the Infernal Dragon and the prototype of the Ocean Dragon's creative power.

Therefore, explosive power can actually be regarded as a purifier of lich magic.

The quality of those lich magic is too high, and it is very difficult for Atilan to purify it directly, but if he first uses explosive power to destroy the stability of the necromantic magic, and then he purifies it, the difficulty will be reduced by at least 50%.

"Punk's matter is not urgent. Tell me, is the Bearman Forest really that good? What makes an Ocean Dragon like you willing to stay on land to cultivate instead of sleeping in a water area with rich water elements?"

Atilan said confidently:

"You'll know when you get there. When the scene of vigorous vitality and the competition of all things comes into view, you will immediately fall in love with it. Besides, isn't the Forest Sea still a sea?"

"What we Ocean Dragons need is not just water. Life energy actually helps our growth more. The life energy that can be absorbed from the Forest Sea is much more than that from the water sea."

"Strictly speaking, you haven't fully utilized such a large water area. Many places are just left there, waiting for life to naturally fill it in."

"Even because of the activities of some of your dependents, the process of natural reproduction and growth of life has been destroyed. Overall, there is too much water and too few island mountains."

"A pure sea and pure mountains are not conducive to the birth of life. The coexistence of mountains and seas is the way of life's reproduction."

Audrey curled her lips in disdain. She didn't believe that Atilan could come up with any correct theory. Her Sea of Life contains various freshwater and saltwater aquatic organisms.

The number is not small at all, so how can there be insufficient life!

Atilan knew that she didn't understand what he meant just by looking at her expression.

"You can see the situation in the forest for yourself, and you should understand. Of course, Sir Sesthystis' arrangement also has advantages. The amount of water elements is very abundant, which can also play a big role in the growth of Ocean Dragons."

Now that she had arrived at his territory, Atilan naturally had to treat Audrey to a feast. He, the Little Master Chef of Planting Flowers, would personally cook and let her see what Mom's taste is!

As a result, as soon as he arrived in Greenscale Town and arranged for Audrey to sit down, Atilan went to the kitchen and picked up a knife, and the old Fishman came to his side anxiously and excitedly.

"Dragon Lord, good news, the King of the Northern Kingdom is dead!"

Atilan was stunned for a moment.

"We haven't done anything yet, so how did he die? Did the Grand Duke do it?"

The old Fishman shook his head.

"No, he is also very anxious. His plan is not ready yet. Originally, he planned to kill the loyal royal family's Northern Guardian first, and then attack the King, and frame the Southern Guardian."

"He would attack the Southern Guardian together with the Eastern Guardian, and finally divide up the Northern Kingdom. Now that the old King has suddenly died, his plan has been completely disrupted. Now he has sent an envoy, hoping that we will send 3,000 troops as agreed, and must help him intercept the Northern Guardian's army heading south."

"We can't let the Northern Guardian become the new King's Prime Minister, otherwise he will have no chance at all. Dragon Lord, should we help him?"

Atilan narrowed his eyes slightly and began to think about how he should act in this major event to obtain the greatest benefit.
