Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

"Tiamat... For your actions! The entire Athena race will unleash its most powerful vengeance. Garugsingo, as the Athena King, will wipe your evil dragons from the world...!"

Her entire body was covered in metallic scales, all radiating a terrifying heat due to her rage. After Garugsing's resurrection, she confirmed the current state of the sub-dragon race through her senses of all the sub-dragons.

Upon seeing the three-tailed dragon resurrected, not only Tiamat, who was directly involved, but even Bahamut's expression changed.

Just as Sadiwo was having a headache, he saw Tiamat's five heads burst into wild laughter at the same time!

"Hee--! Ee-hee-hee-hee-hee! Ee-hee-hee-hee-hee! Hehehehe! Oh ho-hahahahaha! Ya-hahahaha~!!!"

"Gulp... Ahahaha...! I thought you had something to rely on! You think you can threaten me by pulling two useless failures out of a pile of corpses?!"

At this moment, Tiamat revealed her true, ruthless nature. She understood. Io was going to deal with the chromatic dragon first. But what was there to be afraid of?!

"Mandelathys, Garugsingo, you were no match for me in the past, and you are even less so now! Do you want to be my enemies? Then no matter how many times, I will slaughter you all!"

What Tiamat possesses is a chromatic dragon race powerful enough to rival metal dragons and suppress rainbow dragons and iron dragons!

The Rainbow Dragon? Apart from the Purple Dragon, they're all useless pieces of trash.

Azathoyces? Their numbers are far fewer than her chromatic dragons. So what if they're strong enough?

Not to mention——

"You two idiots! You two are no match for even Chassa and Dorgosos now, so what makes you think you can sit on the throne of the Dragon King? Eeya ha ha ha ha ha ha... Stop laughing! Stop laughing—!"

Just as Tiamat was fiercely confronting her two former opponents, Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu were finally teleported over by Sadewo's psychic abilities.

As the Dragon Emperors, the inheritors of Nidhogg, and the chosen ones of Seresi, the two clashed head-on with the Nine-Headed Dragon God, Aeo!

Upon meeting, Qin He had already grasped the rules of war completely. He even tossed aside a sharp axe—a gift for Ai Ou, crafted from fine gold.

Upon seeing its shape, Aio's delicate and beautiful face immediately contorted in pain—

This battle axe is a replica of the adamantite battle axe used by the Lord of Terror when he cleaved her in two.

Qin He threw it. This was tantamount to saying: he had the power to cut Io in two!

Chapter 317 Aunt Qin and Aunt Zhong's Elf Night Hunt

"Ugh... Ughhhhh! Qin He actually used a mithril battle axe to provoke me... This is definitely a declaration of war, isn't it? He definitely wants to declare war!"

Faced with Qin He's generous gift, Aio felt a sudden sense of panic. Although she was the Nine-Faced Dragon God, Celestia had treated her mind like that of a child.

The current Io is hardly more intelligent than a young dragon.

At first, her claim of slaying the monstrous dragon was merely a show of force to establish her authority in front of the other dragons. But now, Qin He stands before her, fearlessly tossing his adamantite battle axe.

That stance clearly showed they were determined to fight Aio to the death.

By prolonging the struggle for the Chosen Ones and giving the Rainbow Dragon and Atheros sufficient time to reproduce and thrive, they can stabilize the situation at minimal cost.

But now, Qin He is offering a gift like the Adamantine Battle Axe, which is tantamount to insulting Io.

It's not hard to imagine that, with Celesi backing him up, Qin He would truly have the audacity to immediately launch a war against dragons...

If that's the case, setting aside the ancestral dragon Miraruz whose stance is still unclear, it's now a three-on-three battle. Aio's side is slightly weaker than Qin He's three dragon kings in terms of raw strength.

To gain more influence, Io's side needs to surpass the Three Kings Alliance in influence. They should support the Brilliant Dragon King and the Iron Dragon King, enabling them to achieve the half-step into the Dao realm, while simultaneously reviving the two true dragon clans.

Meanwhile, the two major races that harbor extreme hatred for the chromatic dragons will inevitably seek revenge against Tiamat first. Once the chromatic dragons and Tiamat are driven to the brink, Io will then use peace as leverage to demand power from her.

This was the plan that Aio and the other three Dragon Kings had made, but if the war were to break out today... then the newly resurrected Manrotis and Garugsingo would surely die here, and their deaths would be erased.

The two gods of civilization and time and space are unlikely to intervene to retrieve the dragon again.

Originally, Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu had both become the godmothers of Bahamut and the others. Aiou wasn't hostile towards these two "juniors," only hoping they would back down and pledge allegiance to him, but he hadn't expected—

Her actions completely failed to appease Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu. Forget about them yielding; the Dragon Domain Council might actually split as a result.

In this case……

……

With the wisdom of a teenage dragon at most, Io still managed to come up with a solution.

She held up the adamantite battle axe as if it were a simple gift. She said to Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu:

"This battle axe is truly well-made! Qin He, Xiu Xiu, I've heard about your exploits from Asterina. No wonder you're considered the future heirs by Bahamut and the others!"

"Rest assured, I will conquer the chosen ones of this world."

Adopting the demeanor of a kind elder accepting a child's gift, Aiou smiled broadly as he stored the adamantite battle axe into his spatial scale, and even tiptoed to pat Qin He's head.

Io was about to demonstrate her magnanimity. She wanted the dragons to see Qin He's challenge-like gift as nothing more than childish folly.

"Wow, Her Majesty Aio's magnanimity is truly remarkable. Even when Qin He presented her with a mithril battle axe, such a blatant provocation... she accepted it with the same magnanimity as if it were a mischievous junior!"

Few dragons would think that way; instead, they thought the newborn Aeo was weak and would swallow its pride in the face of the provocations of the Chosen of Nature.

The air was eerily still, because Qin He didn't give Ai Ou any response or even a glance. Not only him, but even Zhong Liuxiu remained silent.

At this moment, a slender and delicate figure stood behind Qin He. But the support she gave him was enough to make him overpower any dragon present.

Seresi Faona, the supreme goddess of nature. The embodiment of the World Tree, representing the supreme god of countless multiverses, she chose Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu as her deities.

Her long, tender green hair, paler than willow green, was adorned with vibrant flowers symbolizing life. Her radiant pupils shone with an amber-gold brilliance, as if the highest god was looking down upon the creations that dwelled in her canopy.

The slender branches extending from her hair are like another form of horn, a supreme being of the same caliber as the halo atop Kronos's head.

This dress, blooming like a peacock, showcases the majesty and charm of the supreme goddess Celesti.

The openwork design at the chest area perfectly freed her full, voluptuous breasts from the close-fitting fabric. The shoulder ornaments subtly concealed the tips, resembling the vestments of nuns from certain regions.

If it weren't for the inner lining tightly covering her body, her smooth, mature breasts would probably be exposed to the air.

Even so, the half-open front of her dress was enough to spark the imagination. The glimpses of her snow-white skin swayed with Celesi's light and graceful steps, trembling as if they might spring out at any moment.

The sturdy, tight-fitting robe underneath perfectly outlined the firm and full lines of her lower abdomen.

Unlike her outer garments, the front of her skirt was extremely short, completely failing to conceal Celesi's smooth, jade-like legs, with delicate, milky-white over-the-knee stockings visible between her long, full legs.

An extremely rich, sweet fragrance constantly wafted around Celestia. When this supreme god bent over, the flesh of her buttocks was faintly visible.

Her extremely mature and voluptuous curves made Qin He, the only man in the group, feel his blood boil. If she bent over at a slightly greater angle, her private parts would probably be completely exposed.

Like the gentle fragrance of early spring, Celesi possesses the immense power of nature to destroy everything in the world. Behind the choice of the God of Nature lies the presence of the Supreme God!

It would be incredibly foolish of Celesi to leave this mess to Qin He. She needs to step in now and quell any potential internal strife.

With Seresi around, Qin He can speak and do whatever he wants; his words are the law of destiny!

Everything was silent. No dragons, ancient dragons, or anything else, not even the Naga or the feathered serpents who came to listen to the Dragon Realm Council, dared to make the slightest sound.

They were waiting for a response from Qin He, Zhong Liuxiu, or perhaps Celesi.

This was exactly what Qin He wanted; he wanted to use the simplest principles and concepts to describe the most persuasive language for the dragons in his speech.

All he wanted to tell these dragons was: treasure, freedom, companions, and the cohesion among all the races of the dragon bloodline.

These things, seemingly superficial, are actually profound and resonate with most dragons.

With the help of Celesi, he would recreate the overwhelming power of Nidhogg, the supreme god of dragons, from back then!

He scrutinized these dragons with sharp eyes, and expressed his thoughts with impassioned words, like the beating of a drum.

In this chaotic world where the strong reign supreme, Qin He is destined to become a powerful being with absolute strength and wisdom, transcending personal or racial desires… to rule over everything! Everything!!!

Because he is the Dragon Emperor, he is... Chaos.

Only he and Zhong Liuxiu are the final victors in the battle for the Chosen Ones; only he and Zhong Liuxiu can become the new gods! Everything else must be swept away.

The time has come; the divine power of Nidhogg now resides within Qin He. With Celesi's complete trust and love, Qin He will not let her and Zhong Liuxiu down…

As they were pondering, the sky suddenly darkened. The entire Seven Heavens was shrouded in an oppressive atmosphere.

The atmosphere grew heavy and silent with each passing second, even frightening and unsettling the most ferocious dragon. At this moment, Qin He seized the opportunity and began his speech:

"Did you see that—?"

"Do you see Nidhogg's overwhelming power, the Chosen One of Nature... do you see my unparalleled might, Qin He?!"

With a deep, stern voice, Qin He's back was enveloped by the overwhelming divine pressure that swept across the entire Seven Heavens, completely taking over this sacred place that symbolized peace.

This caused the very essence of the dragons to tremble. Those with scales, regardless of their lineage, were astonished, even the ancient dragons. That was Nidhogg… Qin He's destiny!

The former Dragon Emperor, and the only Dragon Emperor.

Hesitation and shock followed, but then those weaker dragons felt their blood boil! That was the age when dragons were at their most powerful. Nidhogg remained silent, leading them to defy the gods!

"My three foster mothers, the great Lord of the North Wind, Bahamut, the Immortal Dragon Queen, Tiamat, and the Crimson Dragon, Sadivor!"

"They gave me tremendous help and support, which enabled me to defeat the Chosen One! Our relationship is even stronger than that of an ordinary mother and son."

In just a few words, Qin He had clearly explained his position and the achievements of his side.

"Now, have you sensed the impending crisis of a new round of infighting? If my adoptive mothers relinquish their power, who will protect the dragons in their place?"

The three-tailed dragon queen, Manlottis, and the supreme iron dragon, Garugosingo, were both uneasy because of Qin He's words. He had come to regard the three dragon kings as his Achilles' heel.

If they were to touch it, it would be tantamount to declaring complete war on the Chosen Ones of Nature. Qin He's ambition went beyond mere control; he desired a dragon empire where all dragons cooperated wholeheartedly, and all colors and scales were united as one!

Qin He cleared his throat and continued:

"We must first overcome those old hatreds and unite in our fight against God's chosen ones!"

"If the Dragon Realm Council disintegrates due to internal strife, how will you, as members of the dragon bloodline, fare when other chosen gods descend in the future?"

"If the Dragon Council falls apart, what will become of the dragons' standing in the world? Try to raise your heads and answer me!"

If a full-scale civil war breaks out, the Rainbow Dragon and the Atheros will inevitably pay a fatal price.

Gem Dragons can still seek refuge in the elemental planes of the World Tree, where Metal Dragons and Chromatic Dragons will become the dragons that bleed the most.

While giving his speech, Qin He had already embraced Zhong Liuxiu—his other Dragon Emperor and beloved—on both sides, showing her his skills.

Celesi nestled close, sweetly embraced by Qin He. This further symbolized the inseparable bond between her and Qin He; any dragons that dared to bare their fangs at him should prepare for despair.

As for the future, where the Chosen Ones might seize the opportunity to invade after the civil war, the dragons remained silent. Even the resurrected Aio and the other three dragon kings kept quiet because of Qin He's considerations.

"That is why we must share the fate of our race. Protecting the shared future of the dragons—that is the struggle for which we should shed our blood!"

"Victory is within reach! It lies between the verdant leaves of the World Tree and the wing claws of Nidhogg—! Victory, it belongs only to me—and to all my fellow dragons in the world."

"Regardless of scale color or origin, there will always be more unfortunate dragons in this world, and I will eliminate the differences and prejudices between scale colors!"

"In the world after my victory, there will be only one supreme and unique ruler—one who will dedicate himself to protecting the dragon race and is the sole sovereign of all living beings!"

"That's me, Qin He!"

"In my world, there is only your Dragon Emperor! And I will destroy anything that tries to eradicate my blood relatives!"

"No matter who they are or who they are, I, Qin He, will crush them under my feet! You don't need to worry about any chaotic discrimination and struggles between scales and bloodlines!"

"Because those are all meaningless struggles, you only need to worry about whether your strength and abilities can earn you all the wealth you desire!"

"In my eyes, the capable shall prevail! And my existence is your greatest wealth, the destiny of the entire dragon race! For I am the Black Dragon of Despair, the Chosen One of Nature, the Chaos of the Future!"

"From this day forward, I hope that all dragons, under the Dragon Council and Nidhogg's wings, will strive together with our goals and ambitions!"

……

With absolute power encompassing wealth, freedom, authority, and security, Qin He is a "philosopher-king" who has the qualifications and strength to dominate everything in a chaotic and insane world.

Before transmigrating, he was just an idle man who spent his days idly with his wife and mother. But what did it matter?

Qin He has plenty of time to put his ideas into practice; the authority of the supreme god of chaos is the ultimate answer for him to climb the ladder to success.

He has won, completely won. The next step is a bet between him and Io on who will conquer more cities and kingdoms first.

With such a significant advantage, Qin He is destined to win.

What Qin He just said was merely the tip of the iceberg in his speech.

With his inspiring call to action, the dragons began to cheer for Qin He.

It was as if... he was already the Dragon Emperor, sitting on the throne and looking down upon all living beings.

"Whoa—how could this be?! Qin He is such a shrewd kid! Not to mention those dragons below, even I'm being swayed!"

At this moment, Ai'ou's mind was in complete turmoil upon hearing Qin He's declaration. But to save face, she feigned nonchalance and said:

"Haha~ Little Qin He is quite the smooth talker. But we won't look at what you say, we'll look at what you do."

After finishing his speech, Qin He made his first declaration to Ai Ou since they met:

"You'll see."

Countless dragons remember this day: the arrogant and domineering God of Chaos, before his fame had even been established, confronted Io head-on—
