The path to becoming a Dragon King has been laid before Noah. How to devour the world, from initially inciting war, weakening all parties, to massacring billions of living beings, weakening the World Will, and finally tearing the world apart, devouring its essence, and ascending to the title of Dragon King, Noah has mastered all the details.
If there hadn't been a moment of temptation, it would be a lie. That is truly immortality, needing no reliance on external objects, nor faith. Even if the world is destroyed, one would still persist, unscathed.
What is most tempting is that the current Noah already possesses the power to initiate a world-ending war, even though he is in a medium-large Material Realm that is quite developed, with great potential.
Although destroying a world of this level is far more difficult than the Black King's Mother Realm was back then, precisely because of this, once destroyed and the world's essence devoured, the body forged as a Dragon King would be stronger than the Black King's.
But such an option, after the initial hesitation, was quickly suppressed and completely eradicated by Noah. Destroying his birth Mother Realm, such an act cannot be described with any derogatory term suffice to capture its heinousness.
"Noah, is there any problem?"
As soon as Odin saw Noah recover, he immediately cast a concerned glance at him, with a trace of vigilance hidden deep in his eyes.
The Black King has already revealed his path to Noah. After seeing the Black King's path to ascension, what choice this originally quite promising Golden Dragon would make, and what path he would take, is truly uncertain.
Under the temptation of true immortality, all that is possessed in the mortal world is actually insignificant and can be forsaken.
The Black King of the past made such a choice, abandoning everything, not hesitating to slaughter billions of living creatures, destroying all, just to achieve his own immortality.
To know this, before the Black King initiated the world-ending war, he was also one of the Five Guardians of the world. He too once protected the billions of living beings from external threats and harm. He too was great, was glorious, his body bearing endless honor.
Before he initiated the world-ending war, no one had ever doubted him, nor had anyone thought he would commit such an atrocious act. Even when the war began, the initial factions did not suspect him until the mid-stage was surpassed, entering the late stage where signs of the apocalypse began to emerge, and the world's decay scene showed signs. Only then did the true mastermind surface voluntarily.
The Black King revealed himself only to crush the faith of all resistors. In fact, he did exactly that. The Black King, being one of the Guardians, transformed into the Destructive Demon King, caused many resistors' faiths to collapse in an instant, choosing self-termination.
"I'm fine."
Noah shook his head, looking at the dragon head of black gas floating on the Black Abyss Spear in front of him, his gaze was already entirely different.
Initially knowing of the Black King's existence, and knowing that this Dragon King was slain in a Divine War by a God System Lord, he felt regret. For Odin, this floated a subconscious enmity, after all, a Dragon Clan King was killed by a God. But now, Noah has a completely different perspective.
Good riddance!
Alas, this allowed the Destructive Demon Dragon's psychic consciousness to persist, granting an opportunity for resurrection. If his soul consciousness had been wiped out back then, it would have been perfect, avenging the innocent billions slaughtered.
"Of course, he wouldn't have a problem. I just showed him everything I've been through. What he saw was my Epic Path from an uncomplaining and selfless World Guardian to ascending to Immortal Dragon King."
With a proud and wild laugh, it echoed in the God Burial Abyss. To this day, the Black King takes great pride in his past destruction and ascent to obtain immortality.
Because such a path is actually quite treacherous and not easy to tread. At the birth of a Demon King, it will face resistance and suppression from the World Will.
The vast majority of Demon Kings are suppressed at the onset of world-ending wars, meeting a tragic demise. The reason he could succeed back then was largely due to his identity as a World Guardian. Initially, the World Will did not suspect him, instead expending powers in other areas.
"How is it, young one? Seeing the path I once walked, what do you feel now?"
"How are you still alive?"
This is Noah's biggest question now. The karma of destroying a realm, how this Demon Dragon can still persist, and hasn't faced complete retribution.
Destroying a world does not mark an end, any world with a certain scale is bound to have connections with surrounding Planes, not just the exchanges of Legendary powerhouses, but also the faiths spread by the Divine.
Destroying a realm, how many Divine faiths would be harmed? Offending the Divine like Noah isn't a major concern; even offending a dozen at once is insignificant, because Noah is neither an Evil Demon nor a Demon King wishing to destroy the world.
Hence, before having a substantial conflict with Noah, the vast majority of Sun Gods pay no heed to Noah, merely acknowledging his existence who seeks to challenge them.
Through the ages, hasn't there been a shortage of madmen trying to challenge the Divine? If every challenger were to receive a response, causing grand disturbances, would the Divine still be able to do their rightful business?
