The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Bear, who had been leading the commotion, was silenced by Atilan's sharp gaze. He obediently grabbed a roasted pig leg and began chewing, not daring to speak carelessly again.

Atilan, with a bright smile, gently pressed his hands down.

"Everyone, divinity is not an unattainable goal for us elemental dragons. When the dragon runes, dragon pearl, and dragon body resonate and sublimate, we can extract at least a wisp of corresponding elemental divinity."

"I've heard that under the command of the Elemental Dragon God, there were once thousands of elemental demigods!"

Thousands! This number immediately ignited everyone's enthusiasm.

The already noisy scene was like a bonfire with hot oil poured on it, flaring up intensely.

Needless to say, everyone began to imagine how powerful and domineering they would be after obtaining divinity.

"Learning dragon runes enhances the quality of the dragon pearl, and an enhanced dragon pearl makes it easier to comprehend dragon runes. Therefore, don't waste time focusing on the divinity within me."

"Looking at me is not as useful as looking at the dragon runes."

Indeed, all the dragons turned their attention to the dragon rune scroll in the air.

After Atilan activated the five-colored elemental barrier, the dragon runes seemed to gain some power resonance from it, displaying even stronger power.

Once the dragons calmed down, Atilan turned his curious gaze to the frost dragon who had first pointed out the secret.

This marginal dragon, who secluded herself in the Arctic glaciers to cultivate, had actually easily seen through that Audreys' power to suppress Fire Tyrant was the essence of divine power.

Punk said that he and the frost dragon lived in the Arctic glaciers of a marginal world.

Punk's assessment of that location was that it was desolate among desolations.

If Punk wasn't trying to eat ice to suppress the steam magic within him, he would never have chosen such a place to live.

Due to their unstable explosive constitution, steam dragons could only choose to live in environments that other intelligent life was unwilling to inhabit.

Frost dragons, on the other hand, liked to live on the misty, snow-capped peaks.

They carved various statues out of ice, creating a magnificent dragon's nest that was golden in the sunlight and suited the frost dragon's aesthetic.

Some frost dragons even lived above the clouds.

But not many frost dragons liked living on glaciers.

Now that he thought about it, there must be something good hidden in the Arctic glaciers of that small world.

As expected, the frost dragon was sharp. Noticing Atilan's gaze, she subconsciously took two steps back, trying to hide herself behind the bodies of other dragons.

But halfway through, the frost dragon suddenly realized something and stopped.

So mature, steady, powerful, intelligent, and beautiful. No wonder Punk would fall in love with her.

After talking for so long, Atilan realized that he didn't seem to know the frost dragon's name yet.

Atilan looked around and finally found Punk in his dragon-human form behind a large tree.

He walked over, tore off the only golden crispy chicken drumstick from Punk's table, took a bite, and then pointed to the frost dragon, who was pretending to be seriously studying the dragon runes, and asked:

"How much do you know about frost dragons?"

Punk was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. He carefully recalled the more than ten years he had spent with the frost dragon, and then realized that he didn't seem to understand the object of his pursuit.

"I only know that her name is Avarosa, and she comes from a peculiar planet where an ice age lasts for three to five years, followed by a two to three-year summer."

"Unable to bear the summer, she traveled through the water elemental plane after adulthood, came to the world I was in, and chose to settle in the cold and quiet Arctic glaciers."

Atilan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Does she usually stay in her dragon's nest, or does she often fly outside?"

Punk shook his head somewhat awkwardly.

"I'm not sure, but I remember that she wasn't in her dragon's nest a few times when I went to find her."

Atilan looked at Punk with disdain. You don't know anything, yet you still pursue her. No wonder you can't win her over; you deserve to be disliked by the girl.

"Even when she is there, she seems to be very busy, and she only says a few words each time. However, she does like the ice elemental magic materials, a specialty of the glaciers, that I bring."

Understood. The reason the girl has been stringing Punk along is to get him to provide her with materials.

"Does her dragon's nest have ice sculptures that frost dragons like?"

Punk wasn't stupid either, and he sensed something was wrong from Atilan's questions.

"Do you suspect that she didn't go to the Arctic glaciers to settle down, but to look for something?"

Atilan coldly analyzed:

"You've lived in the Arctic glaciers for almost forty years. Have you had any conflicts with the frost giants? Why did she only live there for more than ten years before having an irreconcilable conflict with the frost giants?"

"And in the end, she was forced to abandon her dragon's nest?"

Punk frowned. Facing his first love, the usually calm Punk couldn't help but be somewhat biased and have a filter.

"Why do you suddenly suspect her? Avarosa is a good girl. She taught me several ways to absorb ice elements and suppress the boiling steam magic within me."

"Without her help, I wouldn't have my achievements today. You might not have even seen me."

Atilan smiled playfully, a light of wisdom flashing in his eyes.

"A frost dragon who has just come of age possesses the knowledge to stabilize the boiling steam magic of a steam dragon and also recognizes the quasi-divine power that I just mastered."

"Don't you think she knows too much?"

Atilan could also stabilize the state of the steam dragon, but it was only a temporary solution.

Punk believed that the method of enhancing the strength of the dragon body was not as useful as the method he was currently using, which involved mixing ice elements into the steam magic.

After taking a look at the frost dragon, Punk tentatively asked:

"How about... we just go and ask her directly?"

Atilan looked down at Punk with disdain. What direct inquiry? I think you just want to talk to her, but you're too embarrassed to go up and strike up a conversation because you've been explicitly rejected before.

You want me to help you connect, so let me see your determination first.

"Have you found a way to transform into a thunder dragon? I originally wanted to ask you to understand her information first, so that I wouldn't be at a disadvantage in the subsequent negotiations."

"As a result, you don't even know who her parents are."

Punk's emotions suddenly became a little agitated.

"That's not right. Last time, Lord Sestius convened a meeting of elemental dragons. Almost all the elemental dragons came. Avarosa was there, but I didn't see her parents."

"When we first met in the glacier, she did say that she left her parents after adulthood to independently train her abilities and settled down because she liked the glacier environment."

"That is to say, her parents are still alive!"

Alive but not showing their faces. There must be a problem here!

Don't want to? Or can't? Or don't want to and can't?

A cold light flashed in Atilan's eyes.

"It seems that Miss Avarosa's knowledge of so many secret matters must be related to her parents, who are hiding and can't be seen by dragons!"

Then, he patted Punk on the shoulder, comforting him with emotion.

"Although you probably don't have a chance, don't give up. What if she just likes poor guys?"

As he said this, Atilan looked at Audreys in the sky.

"Look at Audreys. She didn't think much of me at first, but now she's still my fiancée."

If he couldn't beat him, Punk would really want to give Atilan two punches.

Ever since Atilan sent the exquisite and useful Azure Sea Cloud Bed, Audreys' view of Atilan had changed, and she regarded him as an equal partner.

Atilan was a disciple of the Bearman and the Vine Woman, and Audreys had never looked down on Atilan from the beginning.

Punk, on the other hand, was a true orphan dragon!

The unstable magic structure made the combat power of steam dragons fluctuate greatly.

If his parents hadn't insisted on extracting the dragon pearls used to stabilize the magic within them and giving them to him before the steam magic within them completely went out of control,

He might not have had a single relic belonging to his parents.

He could only mourn them in front of the big pit left by his parents.

These two dragon pearls were Punk's last guarantee. Once his steam magic was at risk of going out of control, he could reverse it through the dragon pearls.

Punk, who was penniless, inexplicably felt a little inferior in the face of the frost dragon whose background had suddenly become mysterious.

Atilan quickly encouraged him.

"It's just a frost dragon who is suspected to be a descendant of a demigod. If she were really powerful, she wouldn't have any divine power."

"I've seen true descendants of demigods, and they're much more powerful than her."

The descendant of a demigod that Atilan was talking about was naturally the white deer who was still building roads in the Emerald Dream.

The white deer had been building roads for almost ten years, but the task assigned to her by her superiors had still not been completed.

White Deer missed the mountains and rivers of her hometown, the delicacies of her hometown... Not really!

The reason White Deer had taken so long to repair the passage was because she didn't want to go back.

Atilan and the others had also come to the Emerald Dream to help, wanting to speed up the construction of the energy channel, but White Deer righteously refused.

White Deer entrusted the task of connecting the internal natural network of the Elemental Dragon Realm where Atilan was located to the Druid Research Conference led by Atilan.

The Elemental Dragon Realm was very large, but the Emerald Dream only connected to a small part of the continent where Atilan was located. Even a single continent wasn't fully covered, let alone the entire world.

Building an energy channel connecting the two worlds required a certain signal strength in the Emerald Dream areas of both sides.

The energy strength of the Elemental Dragon Realm, designated area 952, barely met the standard, but if the strength could be doubled, White Deer believed she could establish a stable, indestructible energy channel with 100% certainty.

Therefore, she asked Atilan and the others to establish more nodes connecting to the Emerald Dream on the continent.

Establishing a node meant the birth of a Grand Druid.

But it could be that the appearance of network nodes led to the birth of Grand Druids, or it could be that the appearance of Grand Druids established network nodes.

The Bearmen had been rooted for hundreds of years, but they hadn't cultivated a single Grand Druid.

In fact, the elders above were somewhat disappointed with their work performance.

White Deer's appearance for assessment was not only aimed at Atilan.

Hadn't Atilan discovered the demons plotting in the dark a few years ago?

Later, Vine Woman, Old Rascal, and Bloodied reviewed their experiences over the years and discovered that what they once thought were accidents were very likely the result of the demons' schemes.

Several druids who had reached level 18, or were about to reach level 18, always fell prematurely for some reason.

Old Centaur, and the battle-loving War Tiger old man, were both promising seedlings who could reach level 18.

Although in the eyes of ordinary druids, the two old men were already nearing the end of their lives.

But in the eyes of the Bearmen, as long as they could reach level 18, there was hope for withered trees to bloom again.

The means of prolonging life were certainly not as good as that Druid second generation, Vine Woman's father, but they could also extend their lifespan by ten years, which translated to a hundred years in a long-lived body.

That was another lifetime, giving them the opportunity to advance to a level 20 Grand Druid.

At that time, there would be new means of prolonging life available.

Old Rascal didn't say it explicitly, but Atilan knew it was definitely another hundred years.

Legendary Druids had even longer lifespans, long enough to be comparable to Treants, generally over a thousand years.

Anyway, White Deer said that in the headquarters of the Natural Council, some elders used all kinds of millennium-old tools.

Normally, they were used to assist geniuses in their cultivation, but in times of crisis, they were consumables to support the Emerald Dream, helping the Natural Council overcome difficulties time and time again.

Atilan passed White Deer's assessment, and according to the rank set by Atilan, Atilan was qualified to obtain a millennium-old tool.

However, the tool had to wait for White Deer to go back, upload the assessment results, and go through the process before it could be issued.

But White Deer didn't want to go back!

Atilan also toasted White Deer, almost getting her drunk, and White Deer accidentally misspoke, letting Atilan know that she didn't want to go back.

A crazy mother, a perverted father, and a newborn younger brother.

White Deer didn't want to go back to be tortured by crazy and painful training, and even more didn't want to help her parents take care of the child.

She would rather stay in the backwater and repair roads.

World No. 952 was the Bearmen's private land for advancing to Natural Demigods, but World No. 527 was not. Although the area was smaller, the Natural Council had built more there.

The Grand Druids in charge of construction were all former subordinates of her parents.

Once World No. 527 matured, she could pluck the peaches and use the Natural Magic Net to advance.

White Deer, who was born with a wisp of Life Divinity, a wisp of War Divinity, and two wisps of Natural Divinity, would not fail to advance.

At most, her mind would be affected by the increased Divinity.

But her parents would use their unique love to help White Deer find herself.

The Bearmen were different. Without innate Divinity, they had to obtain a Natural Artifact.

Natural Artifacts had the effect of sublimating Natural Magic into Natural Divinity.

As for relying on oneself to sublimate Natural Divinity, only Old Rascal among the former four-member group had that talent, and of course, he didn't have it now either.

His girlfriend died, and he was seriously injured. After Atilan obtained information about Divinity from Old Rascal, he understood why Old Rascal was targeted.

Your enemies often understand you the most.

The first to be targeted was Old Rascal, followed by Bloodied, who was contaminated by the power of death.

Vine Woman, who fell into the trap of love and actually married a Bearman, lost the value of being targeted.

As for the Bearman, he never had the value of being targeted from beginning to end.

It could only be said, how tragic!

The Bearman, who was developing silently, was only one last step away from Natural Divinity.

Targeting the Bearman at this time was helping him complete his transformation.

The heroes in mythology transform their strength into Divinity through trials and tribulations.

Not letting the Bearman encounter crises was actually a form of invisible targeting.

Without a well-timed, fatal crisis, the Bearman could only take the initiative to find a crisis in the Moonlight Grove that would lead to his eternal doom.

Having the Gourmet Divinity, Atilan also had a ticket to enter the Moonlight Grove to seek resources for growth.

Divinity can be enhanced by hunting other Divine beings and absorbing their Divinity, and coincidentally, there are not many other creatures in the Moonlight Grove.

Almost all of them are Divine beings.

According to the Bearman, those Divine abominations erupt into great battles every time they encounter each other.

The flesh they tear off will contaminate the life they come into contact with.

If they were lucky, those contaminated creatures would hunt and devour each other, and then a wisp of contaminated Natural Divinity would be born.

So many Natural Artifacts were left behind to stabilize the seal of the Moonlight Grove and purify the energy within.

The sealed Moonlight Grove was like a person who had overeaten. Natural Artifacts were digestive aids, and the Druids' behavior of maintaining the Natural Network and the Emerald Dream was accelerating metabolism.

The demons in the Emerald Dream were not necessarily contaminated by the power released by the demons in hell, but could also be contaminated by the energy leaked from the Moonlight Grove.

Atilan, as an Ocean Dragon, inherently had the ability to purify life.

Now that he had mastered the Gourmet Divinity, he had the ability to efficiently transform Divinity.

Why was the power used by Audrexis so similar to Divine power?

Because using the power of Gourmet Divinity to process the power of faith was like the process of turning ingredients into delicacies. Golden-red flames were not as good as Divine fire, but the effect was not bad either.

It had about 0.6 of the power effect of Divine fire.

The God of Gourmet was not only good at making food, but also hunted and decomposed ingredients.

The God of Gourmet was involved in the entire process from finding prey to making delicacies.

This was actually not a weak Divine domain.

After Atilan possessed a wisp of Gourmet Divinity, he realized how much potential this Divine domain had for development.

Of course, his current Divinity only had the most basic ability to cook delicacies.

To form a more comprehensive Gourmet Divinity, Atilan needed to send sales personnel to fully promote the abilities of the God of Gourmet to his family.

Atilan had previously sent people to promote recipes and seasonings.

Now he planned to promote the profession of Magical Chef!

Not a life profession!

Atilan planned to turn the Magical Chef into a profession that combined combat and life.

Life skills enhance combat abilities, and combat skills improve the quality of life.

Atilan's temporarily determined means of attack were fire element magic damage and ice element physical damage.

These two elemental means were also the two most commonly used elements by Magical Chefs.

With just a little relevant knowledge, Magical Chefs could have combat power.

The key was actually how to make dishes that could enhance physical strength and magic power!

And after they were made, how to perfectly digest the effects of the dishes.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to be burst by the power contained in the magic dishes.

Elemental attack skills and the secret arts of digesting dishes were all extracted by Atilan from Druid knowledge.

He also thoughtfully provided a dog as a combat partner to find prey.

Atilan planned to temporarily name this profession Icefire Magical Chef!

Icefire Magical Chef was a fitting favored profession exclusive to the God of Gourmet.

Through the help of Icefire Magical Chefs, Atilan could accurately harvest the power of faith he needed to grow his Gourmet Divinity.
