The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Atilan's heart jolted with surprise. He hadn't absorbed the power of Thor's Hammer, so why was the energy inside it surging into him?

With the immense surge of lightning energy, Atilan couldn't control his current dragon-human form and reverted straight back to his dragon body. The ugly black dragon body, tinged with red and green, was now bathed in purple lightning.

It even showed signs of completely transforming into a purple hue.

He hadn't expected the power contained within this small Thor's Hammer to be so vast!

Atilan frantically swung his dragon claws and used his feet to stomp the crimson Frost Giant underfoot, channeling the excess lightning power into the Frost Giant's body.

The Frost Giant was electrocuted, screaming miserably and cursing Atilan in anger.

"You damned, stinking reptile! How dare you steal my Thor's Hammer! You can't kill me! When I resurrect, I will tear you to pieces!"

Atilan, wielding Thor's Hammer, which had grown in size along with him, smashed the Frost Giant's head with a single blow.

"You wanted Thor's Hammer, didn't you? Well, I'm giving it back to you! Why aren't you catching it!"

Outside, the bear-man injected energy to activate the runes and stabilize the Life Furnace.

He also observed the abnormal reaction of Thor's Hammer.

"Obelisk, what's going on with Thor's Hammer?"

Although he wasn't purely good, he wasn't evil either. Even if Thor's Hammer didn't want to be used by him, it shouldn't have released lightning to scorch his bear paw.

"It seems the things the Frost Giant did are taking effect, altering the conditions for Thor's Hammer to choose its wielder, but not completely, resulting in someone like Atilan."

"A person who is neither entirely good nor entirely bad is the most suitable wielder for Thor's Hammer now. Atilan's contact with Thor's Hammer has triggered the arrangement left within it by the First Prince before his fall."

"To pass on the fragments of the Thor Godhood to the next wielder of Thor's Hammer."

The Storm Giant looked at Evelyn with some suspicion.

"With your divine nature of fate, could all of this be the result of your guidance?"

Such a coincidence made it hard to believe it wasn't an arrangement of fate.

Evelyn smiled and shrugged.

"I only made a small attempt. As for whether it would succeed, I couldn't be sure. Anyway, judging from the results now, my little attempt has yielded good results."

Hearing her say that, Atilan waved his dragon claws, which were about to explode from the power of the Thor Godhood fragments, and smashed the Frost Giant's newly reformed head once again.

"This good thing of yours, I feel like I can't handle it any more than the Frost Giant could. With my current dragon body's strength, carrying a Giant-level Godhood fragment will cause me to explode."

As he spoke, Atilan's dragon claws had already cracked open with bloody gashes, and all the dragon scales had burst open. His entire right half of his dragon body looked somewhat miserable.

"Master, since you have researched the secret technique of aggregating lightning elements with water and fire elements, have you researched the reverse, a secret technique to decompose lightning elements into water and fire elements?"

Faced with Atilan's quick thinking, the bear-man immediately waved his arms and said:

"I didn't have it before, but I can have it now. Endure for a moment, and Obelisk and I will try to reverse the secret technique."

Grandmaster Chen circulated the power of his whole body, injecting a Water-Fire Yin-Yang Diagram into the Life Furnace, imprinted on Atilan's brow.

"Use the Water-Fire Yin-Yang Fist I taught you, use the fist intent of water and fire to drive the lightning divine power pouring into your body, and use the power of Water-Fire Yin-Yang to decompose the lightning divine power and strengthen the water and fire divine nature in your body."

After speaking, Grandmaster Chen spat out a mouthful of blood.

The bear-man quickly took out a bottle of life potion from his dimensional pouch and handed it to Grandmaster Chen.

"It's okay, it's just because I just mastered the Water-Fire Yin-Yang Fist. Although I have condensed the fist intent, I can't pass the fist intent to others yet. I suffered a small injury from forcibly transmitting the fist intent just now."

"I can recover after a month of rest."

After drinking the life potion, Grandmaster Chen sat down cross-legged and began to heal. Water and fire intertwined, and the misty red and blue light condensed into a rotating Yin-Yang Diagram behind Grandmaster Chen.

With the help of Grandmaster Chen's fist intent, Atilan finally regained a trace of autonomy under the impact of the lightning divine power.

The water and fire dragon pearl in his body released the purest dragon magic, and with the blessing of the divine nature of fire and pure water, intertwined into a spiral shape and launched an assault on the lightning divine power.

Then, unsurprisingly, it was defeated by the lightning divine power.

However, the lightning divine power that defeated the water and fire dragon magic was no longer as overbearing as before. Atilan fully activated his gourmet divine nature and finally managed to gnaw off a little lightning divine power for digestion.

"Grandmaster Obelisk, is there any way to restore the spirituality of Thor's Hammer?"

Atilan looked down at the Frost Giant, whose crimson color had begun to fade.

"Although I can temporarily transfer the excess lightning to the Frost Giant to help bear it, it looks like he won't be able to hold on for long. Once the Frost Giant is burst."

"The next one will be me."

Thor's Hammer was messed up into an idiot, not caring about the feelings of the heir at all.

The power of the Thor Godhood was directly poured into the heir's body, in a posture that it wouldn't end until the heir was burst.

The Storm Giant also felt that the current situation was somewhat tricky.

"We can only use another method, inject a large amount of pure lightning energy to dilute the problematic lightning energy, and then use your divine nature of life forging to help Thor's Hammer restore its spirituality."

"I think the Ninefold Lightning Tribulation Magic Array designed by Gai Eog is very suitable. It can just use the Ninefold Lightning Tribulation to reshape the Thor Godhood, so that you two masters and apprentices can absorb the power of the Godhood."

Atilan was a little embarrassed.

"Are we going to be conferred as gods so early? I'm not ready yet."

"You're thinking too much. If being conferred as a god was really that easy, there wouldn't only be so many gods in the entire universe."

Relying solely on the fragments of the Godhood of a fallen god cannot help later people complete the conferral of a god.

It is the legendary professionals who already have the possibility of being conferred as gods who have the opportunity to complete the conferral of a god with the help of the fragments of the Godhood.

Of course, if you can pick up a Godhood with a complete divine duty and divine nature, and at the same time be recognized by the Godhood, you can become a god in one step from a mortal.

Of course, those who are conferred as gods in one step will face the situation of not being able to fully master their power.

"This is the Thor Godhood. Do you think that with your knowledge of only breathing lightning and some lightning spells, without even having the divine nature of lightning, you can achieve being conferred as a god in one step?"

The Storm Giant glanced at Atilan with disdain.

"Don't even mention you, even if my master and I absorb all the divine power of the Thor Godhood fragments separately, we may not be able to be conferred as gods, let alone you."

Atilan smiled awkwardly.

"Then I'm relieved."

He can't be conferred as a god now. Once he is conferred as a god and exposes his identity, he will definitely be attacked by all the gods.

Build high walls, accumulate food, at least wait until he has condensed all seven elements and the divine nature of the dragon, and reaches the level of weak divine nature level 1, then he will try to be conferred as a god.

Even at weak divine nature level 1, he may not choose to be conferred as a god.

This matter of being conferred as a god must not be rushed.

It's best to let his adoptive father and master, master's wife, and even the old urchin and Storm Giant be conferred as gods first. Only when he has a group of god-level relatives and friends can he be conferred as a god with peace of mind.

The divine nature of the dragon is the key. Generally, dragons cultivate to the full level and condense the divine nature of the dragon through the profession of God of Dragons.

Or, the age and strength of the dragon increase to a certain extent, and the divine nature of the dragon is spontaneously condensed.

Anyway, he, a 20-year-old little dragon, can't condense the divine nature of the dragon.

For dragons, the divine nature of the dragon is the foundation. Next time he sees the Rainbow Dragon, Atilan feels it is necessary to ask him how to condense the divine nature of the dragon.

But now, solving the troublesome Thor's Hammer at hand is the top priority.

Evelyn looked at the sky.

"We can't stay here any longer. Take the Life Furnace back, and there will naturally be a solution."

"In order to prevent accidents from happening to you and the Frost Giant when crossing the space-time tunnel, we need to seal you up first. Endure for a moment, and it will be fine soon."

Could Atilan say no?

The bear-man and the Storm Giant joined forces, and lightning connected into a network, covering Atilan and the Frost Giant.

The Frost Giant was about to calm down, when Thor's Hammer suddenly emitted a burst of purple light, absorbing all their lightning.

Then, the hammer handle released an even stronger surge of lightning into Atilan's body, causing him to twist his face in pain.

"Master, your seals don't work. Even if they can't take effect, they shouldn't have the opposite effect."

The bear-man and the Storm Giant looked at each other, somewhat embarrassed.

They were only good at lightning seals. Although they knew other seals, they couldn't seal Thor's Hammer.

Light shone in Evelyn's eyes.

"No need to seal, let's just go directly."

"Listen to Evelyn."

The bear-man cast a spell to open a space-time tunnel, and he and the Storm Giant carried the Life Furnace and set off.

As a result, halfway through their teleportation, the Thor's Hammer in the Life Furnace suddenly became restless, breaking the space-time teleportation, causing them to land in a strange world.

Faced with the space-time turbulence, the Storm Giant and the bear-man joined forces and managed to land safely on this planet.

The Storm Giant panted heavily, looking at Evelyn with resentment.

"This is what you said was no problem? Can your divine nature of fate be a little more reliable?"

Evelyn was also quite embarrassed.

"There's nothing wrong with my divine nature of fate. Look, didn't we land safely?"

The bear-man looked at the starry sky, trying to confirm where they were.

"We are near the territory of the Natural Council. This place should be able to barely connect to the Emerald Dream. Let's find a forest first, and I will communicate with the Emerald Dream and return through the natural passage."

The natural passage is more stable than opening the space-time tunnel themselves.

This planet is quite barren. The life energy and magical power are not abundant. It is a planet lacking potential, but Atilan smelled a familiar natural aura.

This shows that druids from the Natural Council have already come to develop this planet.

It was precisely because of this creativity in expanding the universe that the Council of Nature was favored by the consciousness of the Great Universe. Despite the targeting by the gods, the Council of Nature not only did not perish, but also saw the emergence of a series of Druid geniuses such as the Bearman, the Vine Woman, and the Old Prankster.

Following the Bearman, they arrived at a forest with active natural energy.

Sensing the aura of the Bearman and the others, an elderly Druid teleported out from the forest.

Seeing the Bearman, the old man was taken aback.

"Gai'oge, why have you run all the way here? I remember your jurisdiction is quite a distance from mine, isn't it?"

"I went out to do some things, and there was a little accident in the middle, so I ended up in your jurisdiction. Have you communicated with the Emerald Dream? I want to return through the Emerald Dream."

The old man shook his head with a wry smile.

"I don't have your talent. Although I勉强 cultivated to level 18, look at me, I won't live for more than fifty years before I die, even if I spend a hundred years creating this forest."

"I've tried to communicate with the Emerald Dream several times, but I haven't successfully established a node. Now that you're here, it's perfect to help me sort out the natural magic network of the forest and, by the way, connect the Emerald Dream node."

"We're all old classmates, you wouldn't refuse to help, would you?"

The Bearman sighed.

"Alright, I'll help you."

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of the latest batch of Everspring Wine from his dimensional pocket and handed it to the old man.

"This is a magic wine that I and some friends researched together. It has the effect of replenishing life force. Try it and see how much life force it can replenish for you."

They were all old classmates, and the Bearman naturally hoped that his old classmate could live a little longer.

Even if old classmates only see each other once every few decades, he didn't want to receive news of his old classmate's death.

The old man took a sip of the wine, and his eyes widened immediately.

"It's really useful! Drinking it all should replenish half a year of my life force."

Combined with the tenfold effect of the Longevity Body, that's five years of time.

"Being able to live five more years is already very satisfying for me."

"The effect of this Everspring Wine is better the first time. Unless the materials are upgraded, the effect will be halved the next time you take it."

In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer active old Druids in the forest, because the effect of Everspring Wine is getting worse and worse on them.

Of course, they didn't die, but were undergoing natural transformation.

Originally, they had accepted the ending of returning to the Emerald Dream, but after drinking the Everspring Wine, they didn't want to die so much.

Of course, drinking the Everspring Wine improved their life essence and gave them the conditions to undergo life transformation, so they naturally had to try it.

Transforming into treants, tree spirits, and other life forms could extend their lifespan and provide further opportunities to improve their Druid level.

The Everspring Wine that the Bearman gave to the old man was the new wine brewed by Atilan after he finished his seclusion in the Rainbow Treasure Trove, so the effect was naturally the best.

But it could only extend the old man's lifespan by five years.

"I originally planned to undergo natural transformation before the end of my lifespan, turning myself into an ancient tree of life as a node to connect to the Emerald Dream. When that time comes, I'll let my incompetent disciples manage this forest."

"Now that you're here, please also help me guide my disciples to see if any of them can become talented."

The old man looked at the large vat on the ground.

"Why are you even carrying a large vat? Isn't that inconvenient to move around?"

The Bearman patted the large vat.

"This contains the harvest from our operation this time. It's because of the things inside that we ended up here in your place."

The old man smiled and said to the Bearman:

"It seems you've gained quite a bit."

He looked around and found that none of those who were acting with the Bearman were simple characters.

Moreover, it wasn't even their Iron Triangle acting together, so it must be because these people were even more powerful than the Vine Woman and the Old Prankster.

"You must be tired. Eat something first, and then we'll deal with the forest's problems. That way, you can better connect with the Emerald Dream."

The Bearman and the others were eating and drinking outside, but he could only smell the bloody stench in the Life Furnace and endure the stimulation of the thunderous energy injected by Thor's Hammer.

Atilan was suffering in his heart.

Drinking the acorn wine brewed by the old man, the Bearman let out a long sigh.

"Over the years, your wine-making skills have improved a lot. The taste of this acorn wine is getting better and better. Drinking it really makes one miss the days when we trained together."

The old man was also very emotional.

"Back then, my talent was considered to be among the worst in the training. Seeing you, who was at the bottom, climb up step by step, I was also motivated by you to diligently cultivate the Druid secret arts taught by the teachers."

"It wasn't easy to cultivate to level 18 at the age of seventy, and to live to this day, it's really not easy."

"Back then, I delved into the water and fire elements, and you delved into the thunder element. Although I can't compare to your Thunder Giant Bear, I think my Water and Fire Flying Eagle is already the greatest achievement of my life."

"Also, I followed your example and used thunder to temper my body, and as a result, I really created a secret technique."

As he spoke, he took out a Thunder Crystal from his dimensional pocket.

He activated the power of the Thunder Crystal with his left hand and transmitted it to his right hand, forming a storm intertwined with water and fire elements.

The Bearman immediately stood up excitedly.

"Converting the thunder element into water and fire elements, you actually researched this kind of secret technique!"

Then the Bearman looked at Iffley.

"Is this also within your arrangement?"

Iffley shook her head.

"I only knew that this operation would not be harmful, but might have benefits. I just didn't expect that it would be the secret technique that we needed."

The old man rubbed his hands excitedly.

"I didn't expect that I would one day be able to help you."

As he spoke, the old man took out a scroll from his dimensional pocket and handed it to the Bearman.

"See if it can help."

Opening the scroll, the Bearman had to admit that this old classmate did have some talent.

This secret technique had basically reached the level of a legendary spell.

The Bearman asked curiously:

"With this spell, you should have the opportunity to reach level 20 Druid, or even Legendary Druid. How come you're only at level 19 now?"

The old man sighed.

"There's no way. You also know the current situation of the Council of Nature. How many of the top-level materials of the thunder, water, and fire elements can be allocated to me?"

"A hundred years ago, I was even assigned to develop on this planet. Although it increased my annual quota a little, it could only compensate for my losses in staying in this barren land."

"Now, even if a thundercloud appears near me, I have to suck up all the energy from the thundercloud."

Fortunately, the environment here is harsh, and thunderstorms often occur, otherwise there wouldn't be so much energy for him to absorb.

After reading the scroll, the Bearman casually stuffed it into the Life Furnace.

Atilan endured the pain and finished reading the secret technique, trying to operate this secret technique. Although he didn't have the spiral effect of the Water and Fire Two Instruments Fist, he absorbed thunder energy from another angle.

It was full of the skill of using the small to defeat the big.

The Water and Fire Two Instruments Fist was the bite force, and the transformation secret technique was the digestion ability.

For the sake of his life, Atilan forced himself to combine the Water and Fire Two Instruments Fist with the transformation secret technique, trying to gnaw at the thunderous divine power sent out by Thor's Hammer.

Calculating the growth rate of his bite force and digestion ability, Atilan estimated that when he had gnawed for a hundred years, he wouldn't need to worry about being burst by the thunderous divine power.

Digesting Thor's divine personality in just a hundred years sounded quite worthwhile.

But he wasn't sure if he could last a hundred years.

Thor's Hammer wouldn't divide it into a hundred years and slowly inject the thunderous divine power into his dragon body.

This kind of inheritance was originally supposed to actively help the inheritor digest the power of the divine personality.

As a result, it had turned into the current situation, and Atilan kicked the Frost King again fiercely.

After the old man gave the secret technique, the Bearman felt that he should give something in return.

Anyway, there was too much thunderous energy in Thor's Hammer to absorb completely.

He simply extracted a portion of the thunderous energy from Atilan's body that didn't contain divine power, and the Bearman and the Storm Giant together condensed it into a crystal and gave it to the old man.

The Bearman said with a smile:

"I'll wait for the good news of your breakthrough to level 20."

After seeing the thunder element transforming into water and fire elements, the Storm Giant also felt that he had gained a lot, and took the initiative to send some Thunder Ling Flower seeds to the old man.

"This place is very suitable for planting Thunder Ling Flowers. Collecting the honey to make wine will help your cultivation."

Returning to the Elemental Dragon Realm, Atilan took out the contact tool given to him by the Rainbow Dragon and sent a letter to the Rainbow Dragon.

Requesting support!

The problem of Thor's Hammer could be easily solved in the hands of the Rainbow Dragon.

He didn't even come in person, but just let the gentle Rainbow Warrior come forward to help solve it.

"Master said that he can't leave the Rainbow Treasure Trove. Regarding the problem of Thor's divine personality, he can help you suppress the intensity of the energy output of Thor's Hammer, and you can slowly absorb it."

As he spoke, he took out a seven-colored metal thread and wrapped it around the handle of Thor's Hammer. Immediately, Atilan felt much more relaxed.

Then there was another blueprint.

"This is the method to decompose Thor's divine personality. You can't directly absorb the giant-type Thor, you need to decompose the giant-type imprint on it."

The Bearman opened it and was immediately attracted by the methods recorded on it.

"Using thunder to separate Thor's divine personality, this method is too powerful. Oberisk, do you have the confidence to complete this plan?"

The Storm Giant shook his head, pointing to a part of the content above.

"At most, I can complete a part of it, removing the imprint left by the Giant God King, so that the divine personality can be absorbed by me in part."

The Bearman pointed to another part of the content.

"I can just complete this part."

As for the last part, it was clearly prepared for Atilan.

"It seems that Atilan's old friend has already divided the cake and prepared a piece for each of us three. Even staying in the subspace, he knows everything about our situation here."

The Bearman's heart was a little heavy. He wasn't sure whether this good friend was standing on the side of the Dragon God or on the side of Atilan.

The other party's level was too high, and he couldn't see if there were any traps in the other party's plan waiting for them to step on.

Iffley's eyes suddenly shed tears of blood.

"It's okay, we can execute it according to this plan."

Atilan asked worriedly:

"Iffley, are you okay?"

Iffley smiled faintly.

"It's okay, I'll be fine after a sleep."

Then she fell straight down, but fortunately, the Bearman controlled the grass to weave a bed to catch her.
