Under the Red Dragon

The river of time flows forward mightily. The Time Dragon Denireth exists within it, like a sea dragon king playing with the waves. In this river of time, Denireth is more powerful than those sea dragon kings in the vast ocean.

If the Gold Empire's law enforcement officer, the ocean dragon Naxen, is the darling of the sea, then the Time Dragon Denireth is the noble child and potential secondary controller of the temporal weave.

The Time Dragon Denireth not only possesses the extraordinary resistance of a legendary dragon species, but also passively receives the care and active protection of the power of time when in the temporal tributaries.

But even so, the Time Dragon Denireth did not realize that as it delved deeper into this main timeline, some of its active consciousness was undergoing an irresistible change.

Denireth has almost forgotten the purpose of coming here, which was to investigate the death crisis it had foreseen.

At this moment, only an instinctive obsession remains in its heart: to look forward and see the future of the Gold Empire.

In the Time Dragon's inheritance, there is such a warning: the fate of the future itself should not be spied upon; before it is spied upon, fate is not fixed.

But from the moment you see the fate of the future, the future timeline will gradually become fixed in a way you cannot imagine.

This is similar to some hypothetical observer effects: the more frequently a unique system existing in a specific state is observed, the more likely that system is to maintain its original state and spontaneously correct any errors.

The Time Dragon Denireth clearly remembers this, but it did not observe its own destiny, but found that everything on this timeline was gradually becoming fixed with its observation.

It can also feel that as the timeline deepens, its own yet-to-be-perceived destined fate is also fixed as a result.

A sense of unknown panic began to arise in the Time Dragon Denireth's heart. It felt that this timeline was like a drama waiting for it to discover and then fix through its observation.

Someone had already taken the existing variables as actors in an opera, and was performing the unknown events that might occur in the future in a way that closely followed a trajectory or orbit, while the Time Dragon Denireth was the audience and recorder of this opera.

But the mastermind and director behind the scenes was not it.

The Time Dragon Denireth wanted to turn around and leave, but when it stood at the top of this temporal weave, overlooking this strange and familiar world from a high vantage point, it was somewhat reluctant to leave.

Then it suddenly forgot the warning in its inheritance and stepped from the river of time into the reality of the Akaniā world.

"Where is this?"

"This is the Gold Empire!"

The Time Dragon Denireth was shocked to hover in the dome of the Akaniā world, looking in disbelief at the cloud country that covered the entire world.

It seemed that the entire Akaniā plane was covered by the cloud-built kingdom in the sky, which was immense, majestic, and as if a god had established a divine kingdom in the mortal world.

The sun in the sky seemed to be surrounded by this huge cloud country, but the sunlight, like penetrating thin crystal, sprinkled dreamlike brilliance on the earth under the cloud city.

This was not a country that mortal beings could create.

If it weren't for the several huge and majestic cities with divine artistry in the prosperous land of the Northern Territory in this cloud divine kingdom, and the huge and vast royal court palaces on the towering mountain ranges also created with clouds, the Time Dragon Denireth would not even be able to recognize that this was the Gold Empire.

"Is this a kingdom created by gods?"

The Time Dragon Denireth muttered to itself, looking at the empty cloud country with a sense of familiarity and strangeness.

The gentle breeze in the sky sent the sound of the cloud giant bell ringing, causing the Time Dragon Denireth's figure to slowly descend.

This cloud country may belong to some unimaginably powerful being, but at this moment, it did not reject the Time Dragon's visit, but allowed the Time Dragon to shuttle through the city that had become somewhat unfamiliar.

What was familiar was the architectural style of the Gold Empire. Each building seemed to be much larger than an adult Time Dragon, especially the high-domed, topless spire in the Royal Capital.

The trees in the city were caressed by the breeze, and leaves formed from condensed clouds fell one by one, tumbling and floating in the wind, slowly falling.

The Time Dragon Denireth then realized that the season of the entire cloud country seemed to be fixed in autumn.

Time had stopped flowing here, as if the owner of this place liked autumn.

Tz! Tz! Tz!

A sound like psionic energy suddenly came from the empty and silent city, causing the Time Dragon Denireth to listen attentively.

It was a broadcast from somewhere in the city, "According to the forecast of the Central Meteorological Department of the Empire, a new round of cold air..."

The sound did not bring Denireth activity, but an indescribable feeling. How could this feeling be described? Denireth didn't know.

It just felt that at this moment, it was like a mortal suddenly standing on a street with heavy traffic and crowds, yet it felt isolated from the world, feeling the cold wind blowing in the air and the fallen leaves falling beside the street.

Perhaps this was not Denireth's feeling, but the thoughts of the owner of this cloud country that had spread and influenced the Time Dragon.

Denireth did not feel fear. It flew towards the towering Dragon King's Court, perhaps the owner of this country dwelled there.

But the Time Dragon did not find the owner of this country. It saw the equally empty Dragon King's Court. The crown seat of the former True Dragon Emperor and the seats of the kings were empty, with no sign of a king.

Only the murals of ten thousand dragons soaring on the dome walls of the Dragon King's Court, like clouds flowing, showed the past of this country.

But the Time Dragon Denireth could not remember the specific appearance of any mural.

Until the Time Dragon Denireth stepped out of this Dragon King's Court, it had completely forgotten the existence of even those murals on the dome walls.

Then it saw a head, like the head of a beardless white gold dragon, a huge head, hanging down from the sky clouds of the Dragon King's Court, a pair of gentle pupils quietly watching it.

"Are you a god?"

The Time Dragon Denireth looked up at the dragon head in front of it, which was larger than its entire body, and asked directly.

"God?"

The huge dragon opened its upper jaw, revealing fangs like jade hooks, and chuckled: "I am not a god at all. Even if there is a 'god', before that crown seat, no one dares to call themselves a 'god'."

"In front of the 'Floating Light Heavenly Mandate Emperor', before the crown seat of the Dragon Emperor, those gods can only call themselves immortals."

"Floating Light Heavenly Mandate Emperor? Dragon Emperor?"

The Time Dragon Denireth couldn't help but think of that red dragon. In the Akaniā world, only that ancestral red dragon, Kalon Goggmora, would have such a title.

"But how did the title of Floating Light Heavenly Mandate Emperor come about?" Denireth was about to ask the true dragon in front of it, whose aura even an adult Time Dragon could not see a trace of, but it was interrupted by the other party's thoughts.

"This is not a place where you can stay for long, Time Dragon, leave here."

The ups and downs of the dragon's intonation echoed in its ears, but that extremely terrifying dragon had already disappeared. Denireth could only vaguely see a huge tail and wings as wide as the sky surrounding the Dragon King's Court. That dragon had entered a slumber.

Denireth felt that the entire cloud country was beginning to reject it, so it followed its inner instinct and plunged back into the river of time.

It began to recuperate, accumulate strength, and then go to the next branch of the river of time to find the extremely weak thoughts.

In the many branches of the Akaniā plane that the Time Dragon Denireth went to, almost all Akaniā plane worlds were similar. Even if there were some differences, such as a huge cloud country covering the entire world, the Akaniā world itself had not changed much.

But facing the world in front of it, Denireth rarely had a trace of fear for the existence of the world itself.

Because in the Akaniā world in front of it, all the surfaces seemed to have been destroyed by an unimaginable force, and there were unfathomable abyss openings everywhere on the earth.

The latest novel is first published on Liù 9 Shū Bā!

These unfathomable abyss openings did not simply open up the surface, but led to an advanced plane flowing with eternal magma and flames.

Countless misty sulfurous auras and flames of magma gushed out of these abyss openings, flowing on the surface of the Akaniā world.

Huge lava blood pools and black cracks could be seen everywhere on the earth. The mountains were broken, and creatures were extinct here.

But the whole world showed an extremely strange and harmless calm. The world was not dead, but there was no life and no danger.

"Extremely abnormal," the Time Dragon Denireth thought.

The Time Dragon Denireth observed for a long time before deciding to enter this world to investigate a little.

When the Time Dragon Denireth fell into the dome of the Akaniā plane, it realized that the aura of those abyss openings came from the Abyss Purgatory and the fourth layer of Hell, Phlegethos.

Liquid fire rivers flowed out ofPhlegethos, the fourth layer of Hell, and the magma of Purgatory gurgled out of the Abyss, filling the surface of this Akaniā plane.

The Time Dragon Denireth entered the world and saw that countless bones were soaked in those lava blood pools and liquid fire rivers. They were the white bones of countless demons in the Abyss and countless devils in Hell.

In addition to these demons and devils, there were also countless nearly infinite racial bones accumulated. Even Denireth could not fully distinguish which race these bones belonged to.

And in the depths of a liquid fire river that ran through the entire northern continent of Akaniā, a huge white bone throne stood among them.

Even after being eroded by flames and magma for countless years, the huge white bone throne still exuded a terrifying aura, which was an aura that the Time Dragon Denireth also had to face squarely.

Because these white bones, which do not belong to one creature, were forged from the spinal bones and skulls of demon lords in the Abyss Purgatory and devil dukes in the fourth layer of Baator Hell, Phlegethos.

A terrifying hellfire dragon was entrenched on this huge and unparalleled white bone throne, and with each breath, a huge amount of liquid flames was swallowed and exhaled by this giant dragon, and then exhaled a misty sulfurous aura that covered the liquid fire river.

And the arrival of Denireth seemed to alarm this terrifying hellfire dragon, or perhaps the word "alarm" should not be used. It was more like a sleeping giant being awakened by a fly flying by its ear.

So the Purgatory Dragon King, the Lord of the Fourth Layer of Hell, the Mad Dragon Nero, slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you also here to find the treasures and power left behind by Them?"

When this terrifying hellfire dragon opened its eyes, it was as if two cracks in the earth slowly cracked in the depths of the earth, in the center of the liquid fire river, two huge pools of lava blood revealing unparalleled madness and fierce light.

"Do you also want to disturb Their slumber? Then let you be buried here with them. There are too many rats like you, and I am too lazy to distinguish!"

Before the Time Dragon Denireth could explain or inquire, it saw a huge dragon claw with jagged edges and flowing magma rising from under the earth, from the liquid fire river.

The mighty majesty shook the entire world, and even those abyss openings on the surface were wailing, trembling under the power of this Purgatory King, the Lord of Hell.

Rumble,

A huge Ancient Time Dragon probed its dragon claws from the river of time. That was the protective measure that the Time Dragon Denireth had prepared before landing in the world. Facts proved that this was indeed the correct approach.

But the power carried by the huge dragon claws of the Ancient Time Dragon was directly shattered by that huge magma dragon claw.

The will carried by the dragon claws flowing with magma and flames seemed to lock onto the gradually solidified phantom of the Ancient Time Dragon in the river of time, and swept mightily past the inconspicuous adult Time Dragon, breaking through the mysterious barrier between the Akaniā plane reality and the river of time.

Finally, it collided with the light stream breath of the Ancient Time Dragon in the river of time, shaking the surrounding weave like ripples in space, shaking endlessly.

The torrent of time power carried by the Ancient Time Dragon's body, every strand of which could easily wash away and instantly kill a peak Saint Realm powerhouse, but it could not shake the flames on the magma dragon claw in the slightest.

Only the light stream breath of the Ancient Time Dragon could peel off and shatter the power on that magma dragon claw.

However, this attack was still blocked by the power of the Ancient Time Dragon. The face of the Ancient Time Dragon, which was so large that it was hard to imagine, revealed a solemn expression, and it was about to squeeze out of the weave of time.

But the Dragon King in the depths of the fire river slowly closed his eyes.

"Roll!"

He said so, concisely and forcefully, brooking no resistance.

So the phantom of the Ancient Time Dragon, which gradually solidified in the river of time, began to dissipate, and the Time Dragon Denireth drilled out of this terrifying world.

But Denireth had a feeling that the end point it was looking for was in the remaining river of time.
