97: The Dragon Knight Legion's plan, the Tree of Life, a way to break the deadlock!

PS: The end of the previous text had about two hundred words of added content.

The expected outcome.

The Black King's power, boosted by the Dragon Bloodline, had increased tremendously.

The Word Spirit: Emperor, which could originally only influence but not control,

After being amplified,

Could control almost all dragons; apart from his own blood descendants, such as special individuals like the White King and the Four Great Monarchs, the other dragons were completely unable to escape his control!

He was also able to use all Word Spirits.

With such power,

Without the intervention of external civilizations, the Black King's power among dragons was in a league of its own; no life form could kill him!

Not even the combined might of an entire civilization was an exception!

"It's good that the Black King is strong, but the plot is stuck..."

Su Bai sighed.

The Dragon Bloodline template had developed to the point where most high-end combat power had already appeared, but this was not what Su Bai wanted.

He needed variables!

In other words,

He needed variables similar to the first three civilizations, where the template underwent a metamorphosis during the evolution process!

For example:

The Mutated Sun Ladder in the biochemical template evolved into the current Four-Winged Seraph.

The Xenomorph Queen in the Xenomorph template evolved into the current Queen of Blades, and she even possessed the ability to control and create three Zerg broods!

And another example,

The Titan template!

The original Founding Titan directly transformed into the current Titan Giant God, gaining the qualification to contend for godhood, and its inherent potential greatly increased!

And these were the variables Su Bai was looking forward to.

To achieve such variables, the Dragon Bloodline template had to move forward!

At the very least,

In Su Bai's vision, there was one kind of variable that could be formed with his intervention.

The Dragon Rider Legion!

The Four Great Monarchs, each pair being twins, one mastering power and the other mastering wisdom; their combination could give birth to the most perfect Dragon Rider!

And that's not all,

Half-bloods and Giant Dragons could also be paired together, and the fusion of their powers would also give rise to a batch of special Dragon Riders!

Perhaps their individual strength could not compare to a Dragon King.

But when gathered together, along with hundreds of Silver Rank Giant Dragons assisting, they would still be a powerful force not to be underestimated!

A Silver-Rank Legion?

No,

If it could truly be achieved, it would at least be a Gold-rank Legion to start!

Su Bai understood all this.

He took a deep breath, his gaze sharpened, and the Dragon Bloodline template... Round Two, begin!

...[The Sixth Creation Simulation, the Black King's World Destruction! This simulation failed!]

The cold, mechanical voice

Broke Su Bai's silence. He had still underestimated the Black King, or rather, underestimated the Black King's dignity as a Dragon King!

Dragons are arrogant creatures.

Especially the Black King Nidhogg, who was the King of Dragons?

Even if Su Bai personally sent down a divine oracle,

The Black King would never admit defeat, preferring to commit suicide to atone after destroying civilization rather than suffer defeat in front of his subjects.

This was a dead end.

Silence... Su Bai's fingers slid across the simulator, information constantly popping up. He was observing the Black King's every move, from birth to destruction.

During one observation after another,

Su Bai suddenly froze, then a smile appeared on his face.

He found it... [The Seventh Creation Simulation—]

[Carrying talents: Alchemy (Orange), Teamwork (Purple), Directed Evolution (Orange)]

Su Bai retained the previous two orange talents,

Only Teamwork was a newly refreshed talent, its purpose being to achieve the Dragon Rider concept.

Talents loaded,

The next moment,

The simulator ran again, and an epic belonging exclusively to the Dragon Race unfolded... [Starting the Journey of Creation—]

[Time flows backward. With supreme power, you have reshaped the timeline, returning the Dragon Race to its original starting point!]

[In the previous simulations, you successfully preserved the Black King's memories!]

[Early First Era, the Black King descended. At the same time, he decomposed his own Dragon Bloodline, infused it into rainwater, forming an unprecedented torrential downpour!]

[All dinosaurs that bathed in this rain developed a trace amount of Dragon Bloodline within their bodies!]

[However, due to the dilution of the Dragon Bloodline, this new batch of Giant Dragons could not achieve power comparable to the Four Great Monarchs; they were merely ordinary Giant Dragons.]

[Mid-First Era, at the cost of numerous dinosaur deaths, a brand new transcendent race—the Dragon Race—was born!]

"The progress this time is quite fast."

Su Bai raised an eyebrow, then nodded, "The historical trajectory of the Dragon Race won't go too wrong. I'll take this opportunity to test if my previous idea can come true."

"If it comes true, it should solve the Black King's problem."

Thinking this,

Su Bai's consciousness sank into the Origin Realm. Unlike the grand scale of previous times, this time, Su Bai merely formed a simple human heart in mid-air,

Then he broke through the air, flying towards the center of the Giant Continent.

There,

Stood a giant tree that overshadowed the sky!

It was the tree of life!

Ever since it absorbed the branch of the world stone last time, it had been in a deep slumber. To break this deadlock, besides relying on itself, the only way was to acquire the world stone to balance the energy within its body.

Of course, this wasn't Su Bai's main purpose for coming.

He was here to test something.

According to myths and legends, Black King Nidhogg was a black dragon coiled at the base of the World Tree.

He, along with countless venomous snakes, gnawed at its roots until it was finally destroyed... Although the Black King and the black dragon in the myth were not the same creature, there might still be some commonality between them.

"The Black King, due to the dignity of the Dragon Race, preferred to die in battle rather than surrender."

"Since that's the case, why can't the Black King, before the Four Great Monarchs' rebellion, lead a large number of dragons away and instead build a nest in another place?"

"This is a bit of a loophole."

"Voluntarily abdicating and being forced to abdicate are two completely different things. Coupled with the temptation of the World Tree, I have ninety percent confidence in success!"

Su Bai looked at the tree of life below.

World Tree,

He didn't have one, but he did have a tree of life related to the World Tree... It's just,

Poor tree of life,

If the tree of life knew that during her slumber, she was sold to Black King Nidhogg by her most trusted Sacred Terra,

She would probably cry.

This kind of thing is like you're sleeping at home, and suddenly, your dad rides in on a ghost bike with a blond guy, and then throws the blond guy into your bedroom... No,

Why does it get weirder the more I think about it?

Su Bai quickly stopped his strange train of thought, awkwardly coughed, and touched his nose, saying somewhat unnaturally:

"Hmm... Let's leave it at that for now. But I'm not a devil either. Just accompany the Black King for a few thousand years and... Uh, never mind, it's getting weirder the more I talk."

Below,

The sleeping tree of life, sensing the arrival of Sacred Terra's aura, gently swayed its branches, as if welcoming its Creator, and a joyous thought radiated across the void...

Su Bai's mouth twitched.

It's over, seeing this scene, what do I do if my inner guilt grows stronger?

...Su Bai, with a sense of guilt, left the Origin Realm and looked back at the simulator.

It had just evolved to the era of the Four Great Monarchs.

A line of simulation information popped up in time:

[Mid-Sixth Era, the Age of the Four Great Monarchs arrived! The Black King slept for an era, and the Four Great Monarchs gradually became dissatisfied with their power, uniting with humans and secretly brewing a massive war!]

[Do you want to intervene?]

[1. Fight, awesome! Let's turn the world upside down; only the strong deserve to survive!]

[2. These creations are too disobedient, sell them all!]

[3. Send down a divine oracle to stop this impending war.]

The first two options,

Made Su Bai's face darken, and he ignored them, choosing the third option.

The moment his finger fell,

Within the Origin Realm—

Above the Glacier Mountains, a giant dragon, entirely black and exuding a strong dragon's might, at this moment, felt a divine light from the dome.

Sacred Terra had arrived!
