Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 769 - 432

Chapter 769: Chapter 432
"Oh? Another challenger about to succeed in the tower challenge."
Noah, who was originally communicating with Heaven, gave a slight sound of surprise. Although his attention was slightly diverted, he didn’t pay it much heed until he saw clearly the face of the challenger through a pre-set alchemy matrix.
The Holy Dragon, who was originally communicating with his eldest son and understanding his experiences in the war on a Different Plane, was immediately transfixed.
"Father, what’s the matter?"
Noticing Noah’s unusual behavior, Iliad, who was originally communicating with him and was now discussing war information, immediately stopped.
"There is a particularly problematic descendant of the Augustus family trying to take on the challenge I set up, attempting to seize the True Blood I left behind."
Noah no longer focused on his eldest son but instead directed his will into the Holy Radiance Tower located in Uther City.
Like his father, Alexander, Noah initially had high hopes for the demigod Sinbad.
However, as he grew up, especially as his body began to develop into adolescence, the various absurd behaviors he exhibited immediately destroyed Noah’s expectations of him.
It wasn’t that he was useless. As a demigod, even without any effort, he would ultimately become a peak existence in the Material Realm.
It’s just that his character and morals were difficult to evaluate. To sum it up concisely, only the words "scoundrel" fit him, but even they fail to describe his many faults adequately.
Noah, as a member of the Dragon Clan, didn’t follow the metallic Dragon Race’s tradition of monogamy, and he had several partners. His first Favored, Alexander, also had countless concubines in his harem; even he couldn’t keep track of how many exactly.
Noah never rejected multiple partners, but the key issue lay in the word "responsibility." If you find a partner and have a relationship, you must take full responsibility.
Even though Alexander had a vast harem with all sorts of beautiful women, Noah never said anything, as Alexander bore the responsibility and didn’t abandon it.
But Sinbad was different. It’s not that he wasn’t responsible, but he didn’t actively assume responsibility. If confronted, he would acknowledge it but would soon forget.
A romantic rogue!
That’s the label this not-yet-adult fellow gave himself.
Because of this, his reputation in the Royal Capital Uther was terrible, and even Noah didn’t hold him in high regard.
On a moral level, this fellow was just too terrible. While he never used violence or coercion, relying solely on his charm and sweet words, ignorant young girls willingly fell into his embrace. Considering his race and status, it was inherently an unfair contest!
How many people in this world can resist the charm of a demigod?
Not to mention ignorant young girls, even men couldn’t withstand it.
"Problematic Augustus? Is it Alexander’s youngest son?"
Even though his father didn’t mention the name, Iliad immediately identified the person in question.
"Even you know about it?"
Noah was slightly surprised. Has the notorious reputation of an underage prince reached beyond the world?
"When I was chatting with Terra, Terra mentioned it to me."
"He knows about this too?"
"The second demigod of the Augustus family, and an unprecedented philanderer, of course Terra would pay attention."
Iliad replied and then curiously asked,
"Being Alexander’s son, by blood he’s also one of your Favored, Father. Why would he want to acquire your True Blood?"
"He wants the power contained within the True Blood to shorten his cultivation time and take a shortcut."
"Lazy kid!"
Understanding the reason, Iliad laughed and cursed.
"Though he’s lazy, he’s about to succeed now."
Noah focused on the young man challenging within the Holy Radiance Tower. Despite the extremely harsh trials he set up, trying to eliminate a demigod with them was basically impossible.
If even a demigod were filtered out, Noah might as well demolish and redo all the Holy Radiance Towers that have been or are being built.
The purpose of building the Holy Radiance Tower was to establish a suitable and excellent filtering mechanism to select outstanding Favored who could inherit and integrate with the True Blood, not to toy with people.
Therefore, the Holy Radiance Tower didn’t set any level or realm restrictions, nor did it limit any profession. Anyone who felt capable could challenge it. Even ordinary people could enter, but everyone had to face tests corresponding to their own strength until they overcome them and reach the top.
Of course, while ordinary people were theoretically accepted, in reality, a certain degree of Extraordinary Power was necessary. With a mortal’s physique, strength, and will, entering the Holy Radiance Tower would almost always result in a deadly outcome.
Unlearned and thinking of nothing but women after growing up, whether it was Noah or his father, they disapproved of Sinbad, primarily due to his conduct and morality. No one denied his inherent talent.
For a demigod, passing through the trials Noah set was too easy. These trials were modeled after his father’s experiences from back when he was a mere ordinary professional.
Even Alexander, as an ordinary professional back then, could get through them, so as a demigod, Sinbad, even while idling every day, could also make it through.
