Under the Red Dragon

The wind at midnight was especially biting. Even a dragon's scales felt damp and cold, like frigid iron plates.

However, the heat and ardor emanating from the ancient red dragon were dispelled by the icy wind, which instead cleared Kalon's mind. This biting wind was nothing more than a cooling breeze to the red dragon, who stood exposed without his magical energy armor.

Strolling along the long, secluded corridor, Kalon gradually entered the warm rear garden.

In the spacious and secluded rear garden, there was no need for magical barriers. The climate here, influenced by the World Tree Ouwo, was always at the optimal temperature for various plants to thrive.

The usually quiet World Tree Ouwo had now grown to a height of twenty-five meters, with a trunk diameter of about fifteen meters, appearing exceptionally stout.

Its exceptionally dense canopy would have shaded a large portion of the garden if World Tree Ouwo did not actually exist within its own separate, affiliated space.

Responding to the faint barking sounds from the ever-blooming Bloodthirsty Flowers, Kalon strolled through the flowerbeds and honey groves, arriving before World Tree Ouwo.

World Tree Ouwo had long sensed the red dragon's arrival but only now emerged from its peculiar space into the garden, casting a large shadow. Only the moonlight, like water, filtered through the dense foliage, scattering patches of light.

"Dad, you're finally awake!" World Tree Ouwo, despite appearing much larger than the ancient red dragon, retained its usual tone, filled with affection and joy.

Its dense canopy swayed, countless branches dancing, appearing in the moonlight like a massive monster writhing its tentacles.

From among the World Tree's twisting branches, two round heads cautiously emerged, blinking two pairs of round eyes, seemingly untouched by wisdom, peering at the red dragon.

These were the two Titan Pythons, Grenick and Haninick, who dwelled on World Tree Ouwo.

The two pythons looked somewhat plumper than before, their fat tails wrapped around branches as they extended their heads from the foliage, exclaiming in unison, "Dad, you're finally awake! We haven't seen you in so long."

Kalon revealed his fangs. He had always kept these two pythons as pets, but seeing the lively snakelets and the World Tree, the peace in his heart stirred slightly.

He extended his claw tips, feeding some mental energy to both snakelets and World Tree Ouwo before speaking, "It was time to wake up, or you would have completely taken over my garden."

"Dad, you're wrong this time. It's not us who wanted to take over your garden," Haninick raised its head, its round eyes gleaming with pride and triumph. However, it was interrupted by its brother, Grenick.

"Dad, this time we weren't useless! We helped you guard the castle and rear garden, scaring away a dragon that was spying on your castle," Grenick eagerly wanted to show off to Kalon, hoping to receive the red dragon's praise.

Kalon frowned, his brow wrinkling. He knew that the dragon spying on his castle, as mentioned by the two pythons and World Tree Ouwo, was definitely not from the dragon horde. That meant a strange dragon had arrived in his territory recently.

He recalled the mist dragon he saw in the battlefield from the clouds, also known as Deniro by the foreign dragon Naksen, and the mysterious song dragon he detected even when hidden in the crowded masses with the true sight of the ancient red dragon.

Could it be one of these two dragons?

"You did well. I am satisfied," Kalon gave the two snakelets a satisfactory affirmation before asking, "What kind of dragon was it? Do you recognize it? Ouwo, you're the smartest. You tell me."

World Tree Ouwo shook its branches. Its cheerful voice echoed in Kalon's mind, like a child receiving affirmation, loudly saying, "That dragon looked very strange, Dad."

"He openly appeared above the castle, spying on its movements, but the surrounding warriors and guards couldn't detect the dragon's presence. Only I could see him, and Grenick and Haninick could see him with my help."

"That dragon doesn't look like you, Dad, nor is he as beautiful as you. Although he was large, I could tell he was just a young dragon."

As World Tree Ouwo spoke, it projected the appearance of the dragon it saw into his mind.

The somewhat blurry image showed the appearance of this peculiar dragon. It seemed to lack scales, its body covered in silver-gray skin, and it was at least sixteen meters long.

The dragon's head resembled that of the Mist Dragon Deniro in some ways, being wider near the neck and narrower near the nose. Overall, however, it was much thicker than the mist dragon's arrow-shaped head.

Two long whiskers of the same color as its skin grew on both sides of the dragon's nostrils. Compared to the small whiskers growing on the chin of a gold dragon, these whiskers resembled two long leather ropes.

Moreover, the base of this strange dragon's horns seemed to be an extension of its entire skull, being exceptionally thick. A pair of horns grew inward on the skull like bull horns, with the tips of the horns very close together, forming a hole like a rhombus-shaped gem above the skull, instead of winding backward like the horns of other dragons.

On the main body of the dragon's horns, eight sub-horns of varying lengths also grew upward toward both sides of the cheeks, looking particularly strange, yet possessing a peculiar beauty.

The membranes of its wings also bore beautiful vertical stripes and spots like butterfly wings, and the wingtips were covered with spines extending from the wing bones and wrapped in skin.

The dragon's tail was also much slenderer than any dragon Kalon knew, its length nearly twice that of its body.

The upper and lower sides of the slender tail also bore slanted triangular thorny dermal tissues like bone segments, becoming smaller and shorter closer to the end of the tail until they disappeared.

"A Time Dragon," the ancient red dragon's aura suddenly solidified. Information about Time Dragons existed within the dragon's heritage, so he immediately recognized the unique dragon as one of the three legendary dragon species—a Time Dragon.

"Yes, Dad. I didn't know at first, but that big guy told me it was a powerful dragon called a Time Dragon. I was afraid that dragon would steal Dad's things, so Grenick and Haninick and I scared him away."

World Tree Ouwo's cheerful voice sounded, and Kalon couldn't help but find it amusing.

A Time Dragon, one of the three legendary dragons, and the only non-divine eternal dragon species in the world. Unless faced with irresistible natural or man-made disasters, this special legendary dragon could coexist with time itself until the end of the ages.

Because of its powerful essence and the power it wielded, it was sometimes called an Epoch Dragon or Eternal Dragon, all names indicating the Time Dragon's strength and terror.

The power of these legendary creatures, which could exhibit some control over time even within their eggs, was far beyond what ordinary creatures could imagine.

Powerful time spells that only some powerful legendary mages could access were merely innate spells that this dragon could cast at will.

Kalon didn't believe that the immature World Tree Ouwo and Grenick and Haninick could scare away a Time Dragon, after all, the ancient red dragon's brain wasn't as pig-headed as the young red dragon Kedilos.

But Kalon still gave the three little ones high praise and secretly added a bit of encouragement,

"You did a great job. You're much more useful than those guards. It seems I can only trust you with Dad's garden. Those clumsy fellows are far less useful than you."

The red dragon's words made the three little ones, who had not yet been truly contaminated by world wisdom, overjoyed, and they immediately guaranteed that they would guard the red dragon's castle and garden tightly.

Kalon didn't delve too deeply into the purpose of the Time Dragon's arrival. The personalities of these legendary dragons were not as uniform as those of the chromatic dragons and metallic dragons, but possessed great individual differences.

The personality differences of legendary dragons could even surpass those of humans, an extremely complex and diverse race. However, they still shared the common characteristics of dragon creatures: wealth and treasure.

Although their collections were no longer focused on coins, but more on magic, knowledge, and elegant works of art, there were still some exceptions in Kalon's heritage.

Some Time Dragons with nasty personalities liked to use their special abilities to steal treasures from their own kind, but they didn't do it for the treasures, but for the pleasure of stealing.

Kalon knew this so well because the dragon whose treasure was stolen by a Time Dragon was the predecessor of the red dragon bloodline—an ancient red dragon.

This ancient red dragon had only left its lair to collect protection taxes from the surrounding forces under its rule, but when it returned, its entire lair had been emptied.

Even some magical plants born due to the ancient red dragon's lair effect were uprooted, leaving nothing but bare earth.

All that was left in the ancient red dragon's lair were a few crooked dragon words—Time Dragon ****** was here.

But regardless of whether the Time Dragon was spying on Kalon out of interest in his wealth, or whether it had developed hostility towards Kalon for some reason, Kalon wouldn't care too much.

This ancient red dragon wouldn't be overly cautious or timid because of this, because in Kalon's eyes, the bold have a path forward, and he would only move forward.

So Kalon's aura quickly converged on its own, returning to its relaxed appearance. He stretched out his dragon claw and patted World Tree Ouwo's body covered in thick, tough bark.

The red dragon spoke, gently asking, "Ouwo, can you now reach the level of independently searching for the worlds I need, or bypassing that big guy's vision, so that my actions are not exposed to the eyes of others?"

World Tree Ouwo's consciousness paused briefly before answering, "Yes, of course I can, Dad, as long as you need it."

World Tree Ouwo issued its summons, gently saying, "Dad, don't resist. This is the world I can see now."

Kalon didn't resist World Tree's summons. He trusted World Tree Ouwo, this magical creature he had planted and watched grow, so he released his mental energy protection and responded to World Tree's summons.

The next moment, Kalon seemed to temporarily merge with World Tree's consciousness. He saw World Tree Ouwo's perspective. In the eyes of this magical World Tree, the vast material world possessed layers of overlapping spaces and visions.

These layers of space were compatible, interconnected, and coexisting, yet they didn't interfere with each other, and were difficult to influence each other, as if they existed in another dimension, seemingly within reach, but actually separated by a chasm.

Many secondary planes and elemental planes dependent on the main plane of the world of Akania, existing in various directions of space, were also unobstructed in World Tree Ouwo's vision.

It seemed that as long as World Tree Ouwo gently stretched out its branches, it could pierce the barrier of the world of Akania and enter other dimensional planes, drawing the energy it needed.

But at this moment, the perspective in front of Kalon suddenly changed, and his vision extended infinitely, somewhat similar to the feeling of crossing a plane teleportation gate, but even stronger.

However, under World Tree Ouwo's inherent abilities, the negative impact brought by actively exploring through the plane teleportation gate spread like calm water waves, but it was difficult to affect Kalon's existence.

There was no definition of time and space, as if passing through an endless and deep vortex, countless chaotic spatial turbulence and fragments, countless distorted imprints and disturbances of time and space, flowed before Kalon's eyes like layers of unreal images.

But under the cover of these endless time-space turbulences, Kalon, with the help of World Tree Ouwo's characteristics, could see worlds one by one, slowly unfolding before his eyes like spread-out paintings.

On the spread-out paintings, every fragment of the world, every moment, every event that happened, and every active character were displayed in it. Such a huge amount of information, but before the essence of World Tree, was as quiet as a document waiting to be read.

"Dad, look, this is that world, which, according to the definitions of humans and other creatures, belongs to the prehistoric era, and that picture is the war of civilization's demise that happened three thousand years later!"

These pictures were not images, but the actual existence that was truly observed by World Tree Ouwo's power at this moment.

World Tree Ouwo's voice sounded in Kalon's ears at this moment, but the profound meaning contained in this sentence made Kalon have an idea.

In the knowledge of exploring time left by the magic kings of the ancient magic empire, whether on the side of mystery or on the side of technology, there was a similar exploration guess.

Time has no order, no past or future, and everything happens at the same moment.

Time does not flow, it merely exists. The passage of time is merely an illusion created by some creatures with limited senses. The changes in all things are only because space is flowing and changing, advancing in time, rather than time advancing.

And it wasn't just in the macroscopic world that this kind of thinking arose; evidence from the microscopic world also provided considerable corroboration.

Scholars in one of the worlds explored by the Magic Kings conducted research, finding that at the microscopic level, two entangled particles, even if separated by opposite ends of the universe,

would instantly sense any change in the state of one particle, and undergo a corresponding change.

This sensing and reaction, faster than the speed of light in the sky, was essentially completed in zero time. For the entangled state and phenomenon of quantum particles, time was practically nonexistent.

There was also the experiment with the concept of electrons, where the exact location of an electron cannot be precisely determined, but can only be expressed as the probability of it appearing in a certain location, hence the concept of the 'electron cloud'.

In the exploration and tracking experiments of quantum particles (electrons), the most advanced precision instruments in that universe discovered that an electron seemed to be able to appear simultaneously in many other places.

Thus, scholars speculated that if one could escape the limitations of the instrument's detection frequency, perhaps an electron could instantaneously fill the entire universe, or instantly reach every corner of the universe, just like some gods in mythology with supreme abilities.

Electrons, in experiments, also seemed to transcend the limitations of time. For electrons, the existence of time was unimportant, practically nonexistent.

In other words, according to these theories, if the macroscopic and microscopic worlds are integrated, the concept of time as an element in the universe is unimportant.

Karon's thoughts underwent a dramatic fluctuation at this moment, instantly breaking away from the consciousness perspective of the World Tree Ouwo, and returning to the true form of the ancient red dragon.

"So, it seems I have made a new discovery," the ancient red dragon's dark golden vertical pupils shone like lit golden lamps at this moment, gleaming in the dim garden, under the shadow of the World Tree Ouwo.

Calm yet powerful, a force like the surging ocean current hidden beneath the tranquil sea surface quietly emerged from the ancient red dragon's body at this moment. It was the domain of earth, the ancient red dragon's innate ability, the authority represented by Karon's will.

"As long as there is a sufficiently strong gravitational field, can time be slowed down?" The ancient red dragon's scales were stern, its horns were fierce, and at this moment it revealed its fangs, glittering with a chilling light.

An extremely condensed force fluctuated within Karon's blossoming earth domain. His earth domain, which covered a range of hundreds of meters, gradually shrank, shrank, until it was extremely condensed, and could no longer shrink, only enveloping the ancient red dragon beside him, within a few meters.

A heavy, powerful, inescapable gravitational field quietly formed at this moment. If it weren't for the ancient red dragon's exquisite control ability, the entire garden might have been destroyed.

"There are some effects, but not overly obvious ones yet," Karon frowned, carefully sensing the passage of time within the domain.

"Perhaps, my ability is not strong enough, or perhaps, this is just one of the influencing factors," Karon concluded after half an hour of probing, and dispelled the domain that brought a terrifying pressure to the lives in the garden.

The newest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"Perhaps, the world in the eyes of a Time Dragon is like this: the past, the present, and the yet-to-come future are all existing in parallel,"

the ancient red dragon uttered his low voice. The pursuit of knowledge, on this red dragon, seemed like an addiction to magic, which was also the fundamental reason for his far surpassing strength compared to dragons of the same age.

"In other words, the past has not truly passed, and the future is not truly yet to come," Karon raised his head, forged like steel, and looked towards the endless night sky, where the stars twinkled, just like his thoughts, colorful and diverse.

"That is to say, from the past, to the present, to the future, every moment corresponds to a universe," Karon raised his dragon claw, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Every Planck time (the smallest time interval is Planck time) corresponds to a universe, and all universes are moving forward in a discontinuous, quantum leap fashion along the smallest Planck time."

"And all the universes, at any given moment, the sum of the displayed events is a complete total universe event."

Karon's voice gradually became louder, and he laughed: "So, if I can thoroughly understand this knowledge, can I also, like those Time Dragons, pull out my future self and crush the enemy."

"No, the power of knowledge is far superior to those Time Dragons who rely on bloodlines," the ancient red dragon brandished his steel claws, laughing wildly: "I can understand more, I can learn more, and I can get more. Knowledge is also the dazzling gem on my crown!"

The two Titan pythons on the tree quietly retracted their heads, and said with some worry: "It seems that Dad's mental state is a bit worrying, snake-wise!"

"Don't worry," the voice of the World Tree Ouwo sounded in the ears of the two Titan pythons, it said: "Dad is a red dragon after all, it's normal to go crazy once in a while, it would be scary if Dad didn't go crazy!"

"Oh, it seems that's true," Hani Nek, the kind little snake cub, said in a voice, "But, Ouwo, why don't you tell Dad that the big guy is helping you so that you can replace that guy's position when you grow up, you'll be trapped there!"

"It's okay, it's good to be able to help Dad. Without the help of that big guy, I wouldn't be confident to avoid the gaze of those fierce guys,"

the voice of the World Tree Ouwo quietly sounded in the heart lake of the two pythons, rather than in their ears.

"Besides, it's the same wherever I stay, unlike you guys, although you also have no hands, no feet, no claws, and no wings, you can move freely, go wherever you want, I can only watch."

"Okay, don't worry, we two will always be by your side to protect you, Ouwo," Hani Nek swung his tail, patting his chest and abdomen, but detached from the branch, and fell down from the branch with a cry.

"Tch, it sounds so nice, I'm not like Hani Nek, that soft-hearted guy," Grei Nek's tail slammed against the branch.

It raised its head, stuck out its tongue and said proudly: "I'm telling you, Ouwo, I will follow you too, but it's not to protect you, but to make you support me, the great Grei Nek!"

"Ouch, ouch," the great Grei Nek also fell to the ground headfirst, his head hitting the dirt, but this python was pulled down by the World Tree Ouwo.

Karon shook his head, ignoring the few noisy little guys, and walked to the flower room where the pixie Rui Wen was sleeping.

The pixie Rui Wen was still sleeping at this moment, her sleeping time even exceeded that of Karon, the red dragon, but this did not mean that the pixie Rui Wen's talent and bloodline were stronger than the ancient red dragon, but that some wonderful changes seemed to have occurred in the pixie Rui Wen.

After checking the flower room where the pixie Rui Wen was sleeping, and confirming that the protective defensive magic set by the red dragon still existed, Karon stopped.

He looked towards his dragon nest, the entire mountain was collapsing, and part of the dragon nest was covered, but under the power of this ancient red dragon, it could not become an obstacle for him to return to the dragon nest.

However, Karon turned his gaze to the huge royal castle, the second floor illuminated by the flickering candlelight. As the owner of the entire castle, Karon naturally knew the situation in the royal castle, which was also the reason for his hesitation.

In the end, the red dragon turned around and strode towards the second floor of the castle.

Combining work and rest, and indulging after restraint, was also the taste that the red dragon enjoyed.

On the second floor of the dragon royal castle, in the huge main hall, the bright magic crystal lamps had already been extinguished by the female servants, replaced by a little candlelight, shining like stars, illuminating the entire main hall.

But the flickering light of the candles shrouded the entire main hall in a kind of quiet and ambiguous dimness.

Those most beautiful, most outstanding female servants began to change their clothes according to the requirements of the green dragon Anta Jiena and the red dragon Ke Lai Na Ya.

Their exquisite light gauze servant clothes were changed into sacrificial robes, covering their beautiful bodies. The robes were printed with many strange patterns and ancient languages, which were dragon words.

The female servants' long hair was up, and they wore crowns and headbands dotted with a circle of small bells. In their fair fingers, they held slender trees made of dragon saliva and incense, or shaking drums engraved with dragon language spells.

The girls washed off their makeup, replaced by simplicity and seriousness, but at a beautiful age, they were still like roses in the back garden, wet with rain, filling the room with fragrance.

They sat barefoot on the ground of the main hall, their wide robes could not hide their plump and fair long legs. Dotted with candlelight behind them, circling the central altar, waiting quietly.

Until heavy and somewhat deliberate footsteps sounded, these ladies began to dance gracefully, moving lightly.

The power of magic surged in the beautiful female servants, surging in their instruments, ceremonial guards, robes, and dances, and a beautiful movement sounded at this moment.

With the sound of bells and drums as the main melody, and the sound of conch and bagpipes as accompaniment.

This simple and melodious music is not as gentle as that of the nobles, but has a unique flavor, like the sacrificial sound handed down from the ancient wilderness.

That was the song of summoning dragons that once sounded in the territory, born from the sacrifice of ancient evil dragon lords, and resounded again at this moment, in this place.

The ancient red dragon, who stepped forward, felt his appetite rising in the sound of the sacrificial music, and his ancient blood, his talent bloodline, brought a burst of hunger.

"Once,"

"There was no time, no earth, everything was chaos, and memories were dusted;"

"The past is like smoke, fleeting, mountains and seas change, and nothingness does not return;"

"Time is as turbulent as flowing water,"

"No one can escape from it,"

"The girl waiting to be married waits for her husband, like waiting for the moment of death;"

"She is pure white all over, as if wearing a white shroud,"

"She is destined to die, the wedding bells echo praises,"

"Take her, take her,"

"Fly here, descend here,"

"Always offer you, the young girl."

This is the sacrificial song, and also the song of summoning dragons.

The low and hoarse sacrifices and prayers echoed in the castle, the dancing girls' graceful sacrificial dance, the sacrificial dance, made Karon's appetite and source desire rise, and he felt his body gradually boiling.

His eyes looked at the altar, which was the beautiful girl who was being sacrificed.

They were two snow-like jade sculptures, flame-like hair, emerald-like long hair covering like flowing clouds, they were not wearing an inch, their shin bones were intertwined, twisting like snakes.

Dragons have scales, but no hair, and those two pink and snowy spots were so conspicuous in Karon's eyes.

The beautiful girl was coated with a layer of oil that attracted dragons, shining brightly, making the girl's body like a pure white lamb exceptionally tempting, and the eyes of the two girls twisting their beautiful and plump bodies were also calling for the dragon's descent.

Finally, when the sacrificial dance and song reached the highest climax, the red dragon finally let go of the restraints of his will, and let the surging desire bury him.

"Roar,"

Karon spread his wings and stepped forward, his long wings covering the two snake-like beauties, and the hot steel was placed in the pink and tender people.

The hot steel rubbed against the bodies of Anta Jiena and Ke Lai Na Ya, causing their four hands to hug, burning their bodies and trembling non-stop.

"Come on, my king, what are you still hesitating about," the green dragon Anta Jiena's charming eyes rippled like water, as if provoking, as if seducing.

"Master, please enjoy your slave at will!" The stumbling words, spoken in Ke Lai Na Ya's mouth, brought Karon a strange feeling.

"Roar,"

In the next moment, Karon's body shrank sharply, but it was still the body of a dragon, and his burning steel crashed into the green dragon's body, burning the green dragon Anta Jiena's softest and most moist body, burning Anta Jiena and trembling non-stop.

Ke Lai Na Ya's body also trembled, and the hot temperature made her let out a deep moan. Ke Lai Na Ya turned her head, looking for Karon's big mouth full of fangs, and stuck it on.

The smell of sulfur and heat instantly enveloped the entire castle.

Oh, I forgot to mark the first leader, thank you to the leader "Yi Ma Zhao Hong Xiu", my fault, I added the change and forgot to mark it before the chapter.

How about this, if the big boss is not satisfied with the ending of a certain character in the future, he can rewrite the fate of the character once, as if that person met a god who controls fate!
