Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 779 - 437: Treasure of Time and Space, Relics of the Gods, Dragon King’s Skeleton

Chapter 779: Chapter 437: Treasure of Time and Space, Relics of the Gods, Dragon King’s Skeleton
"Do you need help?"
Even though there was a hint of overestimating his abilities, Noah still asked this question, because interacting with this ancient deity made Noah feel exceptionally comfortable.
This ancient god was, among the divine beings Noah had encountered so far, the one who made him feel most at ease. Even if this wasn’t the deity’s true form, the pretense, if it was, was enough to comfort him, and at least the other party was willing to pretend.
Whether considering his current feelings, the relationship between them, or the interests of their faction, Noah was very hopeful that this ancient god would return to the divine position.
This way, he would have a strong divine power as an ally, and the casual promise of old would come true.
"You help me?"
Upon hearing Noah’s inquiry, Odin immediately showed a contemplative look. He neither refused nor agreed but was seriously considering something.
"It seems my strength still doesn’t catch the eye of Great God Odin."
Noah mocked himself, although it was more of a jest.
"No, your strength is very helpful to me. But you need to protect my daughter, and you also have your own to protect. Have you considered, if you encounter a problem, is there anyone under your command who can temporarily replace you?"
"No, there isn’t."
Noah reached the answer after just a moment’s thought. No one under his command could take his place. Whether it was his offspring or his partner, they could only hold up as long as he was present.
Once something happened to him, no one could maintain the order he established. Even the Angel Ophelia could only safeguard the Iliad lineage.
As for more, it wasn’t a matter of capability, but a matter of legitimacy. Why would an angel interfere in the affairs of the Dragon Clan? The Dragon Clan was never a race suitable for establishing government.
Noah was able to gather many dragons under his command partly because his bloodline was powerful and excellent enough to display talents to rise to Dragon King, and mainly because he offered enough benefits.
As a result, dragons of all bloodlines were willing to go against their solitary nature to follow Noah, obeying his orders and arrangements.
"So, your proposal makes me somewhat hesitant."
Once the ascension ritual begins, any attack against him would not only target him beyond ascension but also have targeted assaults in the Material Realm during the ritual.
If there were an invincible presence in the Material Realm guarding by his side at that time, his pressure would reduce significantly, and he would have nothing to worry about once expelled beyond the world.
"Let me clarify, even if I help you, it would be limited to matters within the Material Realm. I can’t handle anything beyond the worlds!"
Seeing Odin still pondering, Noah stated, akin to empty words.
"In my era, the Dragon Clan was never selfless. Even friends would ask for the appropriate reward. I presume you wouldn’t be either."
"Of course."
Noah acknowledged immediately. If the other party needed it, he would certainly help, but he would definitely charge for it. It’s a matter of principle. Dragons who do not adhere to principles generally meet poor fates.
"Then, what price must I pay for this?"
Odin asked with a smile.
"That will be up to you. I believe, as an ancient god, you must have many treasures stored. Whatever treasure you think matches my strength and status, let that be my reward!"
Noble metals that mortals toil their lives for, even an entire ore vein, were worthless in Noah’s eyes. Even the next level of transcendent resources was the same; now he was only attracted to resources that could further promote his bloodline and strength.
But treasures of this caliber were far from mere rare curiosities. Even searching through many planes, they might not find a few.
Even though Noah had grown to this extent, he had not collected many treasures capable of evolving the pure-blood dragon lineage.
As for treasures that could positively change and influence the Ancestral Dragon Species’ bloodline, Noah had yet to see any, and had not even heard of them.
However, Noah was certain they existed, though they were not contained in his inherited memories or books he could collect.
Although Noah could not obtain or even know what exactly these treasures were, he could hope for some when facing an ancient great god.
"I am long fallen, now revived only as a vengeful soul, what treasures or collections would I have left?"
Upon hearing Noah’s slightly flattering, yet full of hint remarks, Odin had a wry smile.
"However, I am preparing to retrieve the weapon I once used; there might be treasures that could aid your ascendance to Dragon King there!"
In the expectant gaze of the Golden Dragon, the ancient deity known as Odin indeed brought a surprise.
"Your main battle divine artifact?"
Upon hearing this, Noah’s dragon eyes immediately shone brightly. The weapon used by a Divine King in the ultimate battleground was inestimably valuable, truly a priceless treasure.
In secular legends, the so-called divine artifact used by the protagonist to finally defeat the Demon King could be mass-produced by any deity willing to spend divine power.
As for the main battle divine artifacts used by deities, unless the deity had fallen, it was impossible for them to be left outside, especially in the Material Realm, for no deity would squander in such a manner.
