Chapter 172 Dragon Prologue! Dragon God System

The nine-faced dragon god Io has an aspect called Asgeras the World-Shaper, who is credited with creating the world in Eberron.

Of course, the chief god of the dragon pantheon is only a god of 'medium power'.

However, the dragon pantheon cannot be divided according to the standards of other pantheons, because there are a lot of weaker powers in it, but if they really fight, it depends on whether they can beat you to pieces. The standard template of the gods can add additional godhood levels according to the power, but this thing is not a decisive factor. Some beings are strong enough in themselves, so even if the godhood level is not high, you may not be their opponent in a real fight.

The level of godhood is usually determined by factors such as the concept of priesthood, the number of believers, the quality of faith, the time of deification, etc. The dragon pantheon has very few believers by nature, and this little power of faith is still supported by creatures such as pseudo-dragons, sub-dragons, dragonborn, spellscales, etc. The faith of those real dragons is hard to describe.

There is a strange story that says that a pious dragon offered some treasures to the Five-Colored Dragon Queen - Tiamat. So when they met and fought next time, the Five-Colored Dragon Queen - Tiamat showed off to the Platinum Dragon God Bahamut, which directly angered the Platinum Dragon God half to death.

The world of Eberron is different from other alien worlds. Magic plays a very important role there, and widely affects every corner of society and industry. Relying on the power of magic, towering castles stand on the continent of Khorvaire, and carriages driven by elemental power gallop through the streets and alleys. Magic has brought endless convenience to people. Magic is the source of industrial development and the spark of invention. There are means of communication similar to magic telephones, magical transportation tools similar to trains, and rail networks throughout major cities. As long as it conforms to the laws of magic operation and has sufficient financial support, the mages can realize all your ideas.

Compared to other alien worlds, Eberron's magic civilization is very developed. Elemental airships and lightning trains are common, and blue-collar wizards use magic to provide the city with regular energy and various necessities.

Yes.

The term "blue-collar wizard" applies to the world of Eberron, where wizards are no longer high and mighty, and ordinary people have the opportunity to become such "blue-collar workers". There, from unmanned farming machines to thinking advanced alchemical constructs, the power of magic is everywhere.

Above the clouds.

Xiao En's figure chased the meteorites falling from the sky.

He locked onto the nearest meteorite, and inside the rock, he saw a dragon egg that had almost no color. Unlike the other shining dragon eggs, this one seemed to be dead, dark and without any brilliance.

But there are dragon patterns on it, very dim dragon patterns, almost impossible to see clearly.

Dragonmarks, as a unique power, are not common. They mainly exist in the world of Eberron, where there is also the legendary dragon crystal, a very rare and extremely expensive wonder that can help people harness the power of elements.

Under the night sky, at least thousands of meteors fell to the earth, and Xiao En didn't know how many of them were wrapped in dragon eggs.

"The diameter of the dragon egg is about five meters."

Xiao En saw the appearance of the dragon egg clearly. The outer shell was covered with dark dragon scales and there was a faint trace of strange light. The diameter of this egg was far larger than the dragon eggs recorded in books. If it was solid inside, the hatched giant dragon would be at least ten meters long from head to tail.

An ordinary dragonfly can't be this big!

boom!
A dull thumping sound was heard.

The meteorite containing the dragon egg fell into a canyon, and not far away was a spreading poisonous swamp. The noise attracted creatures within a radius of dozens of kilometers. Some deformed animals fled, but there were also some powerful evil creatures approaching this side.

Sean has been separated from the necromancer named Sandro.

He chased a crimson dragon egg, which felt like a red dragon's egg and was larger than the other dragon eggs. Among the five-colored dragons, the red dragon is the strongest, so this crimson dragon egg attracted a lot of people's attention.

Xiao En doesn't like red dragons because they are too arrogant. If there were silver dragons and golden dragons, he would go after these two.

Unfortunately there is none nearby, so I can only choose a dragon egg that looks more special.

A huge pit appeared ahead.

Xiao En should be the first person to rush over. There were no other living creatures nearby, only a huge dragon egg with a diameter of about five meters among the fragments of the meteorite. The scales on the surface were dull grayish white, but unlike the white dragon's eggs, the scales were a little transparent, and you could see living things wriggling and hatching inside.

"What kind of dragon is this?"

Xiao En didn't dare to get too close because the dragon egg emitted strong magical fluctuations. He had never seen a real dragon, but a baby dragon was definitely not so strong. This one was at least close to the strength of an adult dragon.

A space dragon?
It is said that the first batch of dragon eggs that fell with the meteorite were born stronger and eventually became larger than ordinary dragons, growing to thousands of meters long and flying directly in outer space. There are records of ancient dragons, including a group of particularly large five-colored dragons, who eventually became the ancient dragon consorts of Tiamat, all of whom were as huge as mountains.

The fall of the dragon egg attracted a large number of evil creatures and old followers. In the direction of the poisonous swamp, a rustling sound could be seen.

Xiao En strengthened his status, looked closer, and found some strange emblems.

On one of the scales of the dragon egg, he saw an emblem of "an unblinking dragon eye". It gave people the feeling that it was a factory stamp, and some extremely powerful being had casually left his unique mark on it.

"The emblem of the gods?"

Xiao En instantly flipped through his memory, found all the information related to the dragon, and finally locked on the owner of the badge.

——Chronepsis, the Dragon God of Fate, Death, and Judgment.

"Chronepsis is neutral, silent, indifferent, and objective. He is the dragon god of fate, death, and judgment, in charge of time, fate, and eternal order. Chronepsis never speaks or communicates with other beings. He knows the end of all things, but never reveals anything. His form is colorless and has no luster, which means that he is outside the struggle between chromatic dragons and metallic dragons.

Chronepsis is a dispassionate observer of the world. He judges all dragons when they die, deciding where their souls should go after death.

Chronepsis has no interest in justice, observing only what is and what is not. He also inexplicably does not participate in the activities of the living, and is intent on keeping it that way. It is said that only the legendary cataclysm can awaken Chronepsis from his apathy.

It's not a colored dragon, nor a metallic dragon.

This is a dragon egg born with the blessing of God!

If an ordinary dragon egg were scattered in a strange and dangerous country, it would probably be eaten up by evil creatures soon.

A loud dragon roar came from a distant direction.

"A dragon has hatched!"

Sean turned his head and looked towards the horizon. He saw a flash of fire at the end of his sight. It was the direction where Sandro was heading. The dazzling dragon flames burned the clouds red and were extremely eye-catching under the night sky.

"Fight for the dragon eggs!" (Scaly Folk language)
Just as Sean was thinking about how to take the dragon egg away, a group of hideous deformed lizardmen appeared, mixed in with monsters with crocodile heads. The plants in the distance were rotting and withering, and an evil creature entrenched in the swamp was also approaching.

——Death Cloud Technique!

——Burning Cloud Technique!

However, Xiao En is no longer the same person he used to be. These deformed lizardmen are no match for him at all. He used a large-scale Death Cloud Technique to directly clean out the small trash, and then a huge exploding fireball emerged. Amid the violent explosion, all the monsters within a radius of dozens of meters were completely cleaned out.

This place is far away from the territory where the old clans are active, so he doesn't have to worry about being surrounded by the old clans.

Click.

Just as Xiao En started to clean up the monsters that were rushing over, a crack appeared on the gray and white translucent dragon egg, and then a ferocious giant dragon head emerged. It looked similar to a dragonfly, but was much larger. The body that broke out of the shell was nearly ten meters long after spreading its wings. The gray and white dragon wings were dull, and the scales were almost colorless. The small dragon horns had not yet fully opened, and the head was a bit like a black dragon's skull, but more quiet and obscure, with cold eyes, revealing a very calm state, as if it was observing this incoming world.

"My name is [Observer-Kuradirs]!"

The young dragon roared to the sky and spoke its real name in its unique dragon language. Its body was very long and narrow. After calmly observing its surroundings, it looked at Xiao En not far away, and then began to gnaw on the eggshell of its own dragon egg.

After eating all the dragon egg shells, it seemed to become much stronger. It flew out with agility different from other dragons, and it opened its mouth and spit out a breath of dragon.

That is dragon breath that contains the power of death, which directly causes living things to age and become weak. It is negative energy dragon breath.

It was very fast, as if it had a constant innate "acceleration technique". Such an existence was no less than a high-level extraordinary being.

"The legendary alien dragon?"

"Or is it an ancient dragon that directly inherited a trace of the Dragon God's bloodline?"

Xiao En took a half step back vigilantly, looking at the newly hatched dragon in front of him. It was born with wisdom, which was the knowledge engraved in its genes by the dragon bloodline.

——Observer-Kuradirs [Night Dragon] [Death Dragon] (Challenge Level 16).

So strong!

This young dragon is almost as good as those legendary dragon species.

"Hello."

"Human." (Language Comprehended)

The newborn dragon stretched its body and started eating directly, eating the deformed scaly people nearby. Dragons can eat anything, even the extraordinary relics of contaminated bodies are of no use to them. In terms of bloodline, dragon bloodline is the pinnacle of mortals and is close to perfect genes.

This is not an ordinary dragon egg. It cannot be controlled like a tamed dragon. It is born with the innate knowledge inherited from genes. Xiao En nodded slightly and said, "Hello. Observer-Kuradirs."

After the night dragon finished eating, it seemed to grow a little bigger. Its dark eyes stared at Xiao En and said calmly, "You have the aura of knowledge."

"My Lord Chronepsis is also a dragon that holds knowledge."

"Are you willing to sign a master-servant contract with me?"

Master-servant contract?

There was no surprise on Xiao En's face when he heard this, because his devilish instinct told him that things were not that simple at all.

Chronepsis not only possesses knowledge, but also the concepts of fate, time, and eternity. This dragon god is a bit like the ancient god of death - Jergal, or a being who has comprehended the law of death. In the end, he will become more different from other gods.

Xiao En thought that the gods from other worlds would pay attention to this place, but he didn't expect that the first to take action would be the dragon god system.

The dragon still dares to fight!
Xiao En stared at the newborn Night Dragon in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "Who is the master? Who is the servant?"

Observer Kuladirs had a puzzled expression, his calm eyes slightly wavered, and he said with a hint of arrogance: "Of course I am the master! You are my servant!"

Sure enough!

Xiao En knew that it was not such a good thing. How could pie fall from the sky? How could a dragon ask you whether you want to sign a master-servant contract as soon as it was born?

That is a giant dragon with golden bloodline, one of the overlords of the ancient times. Many crystal wall systems have a long era of dragon courts, and their arrogance is innate.

Xiao En shook his head and said, "That's impossible."

What a joke.

What is this young dragon thinking?

Observer Kuladirs tilted his head slightly in confusion and said, "You don't want to? Then how about you become my follower and serve me?"

"I can teach you the language of true dragons, pass on to you the Dragon Code, and let you master true dragon magic."

Xiao En shook his head and said, "No. I have my own path."

Observer Kuladirs's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued, "I can grant you the blood of the dragon, allowing you to have a long life and live forever. A drop of blood can invigorate the blood of the dragon descendants, enslaving and controlling thousands of scaly peoples."

Xiao En said expressionlessly: "I have my own followers, and I have already achieved immortality."

A glimmer of divinity appeared in Xiao En's eyes.

Observer Kuladirs took a look and looked a little surprised. He said with a look of embarrassment: "I can teach you time magic, which is a field that is difficult for mortals to get involved in."

Can it also cast time spells?
Xiao En's expression was also a little surprised, but he immediately spread out his palm, and a shining time dragon scale emerged. He said calmly: "If you want to learn time magic, I have a better teacher."

The dragon scales of the Time Dragon? !
And it looks like the dragon scales on the neck of an ancient time dragon.

Observer Kuladirs was really surprised. He stared at the dragon scale in Xiao En's hand with a greedy look on his face. He swallowed and said, "Human? What do you want?"

Xiao En thought for a moment and said, "It's still a master-servant contract, but I'm the master."

Observer Kuradirs shook his head without hesitation and said, "Impossible. I only serve the great Chronepsis."

After saying that, it continued to stare at the dragon scale of the Time Dragon.

This cannot be given to it.

This is the dragon scale of the ancient time dragon. There is a trace of the divine law of time on it. Xiao En still has to rely on it to connect with the existence of the long river of time.

Xiao En looked at the newborn dragon in front of him, his devilish heart was agitated. He pondered and said, "Since ancient times, only those with stronger strength can become the master."

"How can you be my master when you are so weak?"

Upon hearing his words, Observer Kuladirs instantly became furious. He could no longer maintain his calmness and growled, "I am only newly born. Just give me a little time, mortal, and you will soon tremble and crawl at my feet."

It hadn't yet gathered its dragon might, and Xiao En didn't feel anything at all.

He continued calmly: "That is in the future. Maybe I will grow faster than you, and you will never be able to surpass me."

The growth cycle of a giant dragon, haha, even if it is different from ordinary dragons, it still takes time.

Observer Kuradirs' eyes moved, staring at Xiao En and said, "Human. What are you planning?"

Xiao En said frankly: "How about we make a bet."

"Now that I am stronger, you will serve me as a servant."

"If in the future."

"You are stronger than me, so I will serve you as a servant."

"This Time Dragon scale is the bet. If one day you become stronger than me, not only can you become my master, but I will also give you this precious dragon scale."

Even if the weird kingdom had the laws of the Dark Ceremony and the growth was fast-forwarded, he didn't believe that this young dragon would improve faster than himself.

The observer, Kuradirs, seemed to be tempted, but hesitant. Xiao En saw this and decided to add more fuel to the fire and roast it. He said calmly, "If you don't dare, you can also worship me as your teacher. I will teach you how to survive in this crazy world."

"I have a method that can analyze and activate knowledge, allowing you to adapt to the twisted laws of this world."

"I have another method that can reshape your self-awareness and teach you how to prevent the old pollution from getting out of control."

"I have the laws of the arcane and spiritual paths. If you are unwilling to learn these, I can also teach you how to master real magic!"

The corner of Observer Kuradirs's eye twitched when he heard this, and he growled, "Okay, human. I'll make a bet with you."

"But the contract must be drawn up by me."

Xiao En smiled and snapped his fingers, "Of course no problem. I like to move myself."

Young dragons need to rely on strong ones to survive.

Even if they have amazing talents, they may need contract protection before they grow up. The arrogant red dragon is probably an exception. After all, the red dragon's temper is notoriously violent in the multiverse. With so many dragon eggs falling, in addition to those that fall into the territory of the old family, it is estimated that many will be obtained by the extraordinary people of the weird kingdom.

Not all of the eggs survived, but there is no doubt that dragons have returned to Holy Terra.

………………

at the same time.

On a distant Broken Island, somewhere on an ancient battlefield, where the continental shelf was shattered to form an inland sea, the reflection of a three-headed, three-bodied black female giant appeared here. She seemed to be awakened from her meditation and walked all the way to the Broken Wilderness where endless bones were buried.

A strange pale meteorite fell here. Unlike other dragon eggs, this meteorite that looks like white bones is more like a carrier container.

Click!

As the meteorite shattered, a ferocious white bone dragon claw stretched out, followed by a pair of broken wings. The soul fire was burning in the ferocious dragon skull. A dragon lich exuding the breath of death crawled out from the wreckage. Its body was pieced together from scattered bones from the meteorite fragments, and it looked a little shaky.

The reflection of the three-headed, three-bodied black giant looked at it curiously. It was a young dragon, a dragon lich, but it was not small in size. The law of death was born condensed. The body was dead, but the soul was still growing. The new soul was very tender. This was an incredible miracle, a miracle that only gods could create.

A huge hand came down and grabbed the newborn dragon lich as if it was catching a chick.
