Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 862 478: I Will Ascend as Dragon King (Part 2)

"Titan!"
Seeing the presence before him, merely sitting up from the earth and already towering into the heavens, Noah raised his head and involuntarily called out to the existence that had vanished from the worlds for ages.
Although Noah clearly realized that this presence was not the Titan of legend, as it was clearly not a being of flesh and blood, but more like some kind of Earth Spirit, Noah believed that this Earth Spirit had undoubtedly received blessings from a Titan, otherwise it would not be able to manifest such a form.
"Dragon Clan, you are very fortunate, had you arrived a bit later, I would have started another slumber, perhaps lasting a thousand or ten thousand years, and during this period, you would have been unable to see me."
"Indeed, very fortunate."
Noah nodded in full agreement, then carefully examined the form this presence was displaying to him. At his level, many existences were effortlessly comprehended with just one glance.
"Have you understood?"
One after another, energy points of light lit up on the body of this Giant, numbering three thousand by the looks of it, like stars shining brilliantly in the firmament, incomparably dazzling. While these energy points of light were independent of each other, they were also interconnected.
"This is the Undying Body that one should possess as an Epic, even if worn down to the last shred, it can be revived anew."
"Surely this isn't all of you."
Greed filled Noah's eyes as he gazed upon this Titan Giant, whose torso alone pierced the skies, hungrily probing the internal energy pathways the Giant was revealing to him, branding each one firmly into his mind.
"Of course, even if I were to show you everything, you wouldn't be able to see it all, and since you are not a Titan, for you, it serves only as a reference, a model."
"I understand."
Noah nodded. Whether the other was intentionally withholding, or genuinely indicating that even when displaying everything Noah could not perceive it all, at this moment, Noah was filled with gratitude, after all, the question he had just asked was already somewhat presumptuous and overstepped boundaries, but Noah was nonetheless very curious,
"I wish to know, if you were to exert your full strength, how vast could your body become?"
"Beneath the mist lies my body, what you see now is but a fraction."
"!?"
Even Noah, at this moment, couldn't help but pause, his eyes revealing disbelief and awe, looking at the vast forest shrouded in mist before him. Although the thick fog could block spiritual power, Noah could still glimpse a part of it.
Not to mention, when he had observed from high above, he had had a sense of how vast the land covered in mist was. If the Giant was not lying and this entire region was his body, then his form probably could not be measured in mere hundreds or thousands of meters.
"Very hard to believe?"
Seeing Noah's undisguised shock, the face, which hung down from the Sky Dome and was filled with numerous roots and stones and earth, revealed a smile detectable by Noah.
"I have never seen a being larger than you in the Material World."
If the World Will were to awaken and possess self-awareness, the world would then be its body. But such a form of existence is meaningless, having a corporeal form capable of free movement is truly terrifying.
"Naturally, my existence is more unique than you can imagine."
"Are you an Epic?"
Noah was especially curious, the strings in his heart tightened; he harbored a particularly terrifying suspicion.
"No, I am merely an Earth Spirit that was born by chance when a Titan was attempting Creation, although I inherited from the Titan, I failed to meet its expectation."
Mikhail's voice carried a hint of melancholy, denying Noah's suspicion, and causing Noah's expectations to fall short.
"Well then, Dragon Clan, you've gotten the answers you sought, is there anything else you wish to inquire? If not, you may depart now as I am about to sleep."
"I have one last question."
"Go ahead."
"Why are you so generous to me? I have not promised you anything, yet you have shown me everything without reservation."
This was Noah's greatest perplexity, for although this existence before him was like the Titan of legend, it seemed excessively generous and open-handed.
"You were led here by the guidance of the Titan Bloodline, is that reason not enough?"
"Does every being guided by the Titan Bloodline receive your guidance?"
"Of course not, seeing me is because you possess the qualifications to tread upon the Epic Path, more importantly, you have gained favor and love not only from one part of the Material World, you are a natural Guardian."
"Guardian?"
Noah seemed to comprehend, in legends, Titans embarked on the Epic Path as Saviors and stood in opposition to the World Destroyers who chose to annihilate worlds, undoubtedly belonging to opposing groups, and Noah similarly disdained the latter, perhaps today's gain was due to the choice of path.
"This Void has not birthed a new Epic in quite some time and is gradually becoming dormant, I hope you can become the next one."
"I'll try my best."
Noah did not make unreserved promises, although he was already contemplating how to construct his own Dragon King Undying Body, his thoughts were gradually clarifying.
"Very well, I want to sleep now, also tell that little one called Uranos outside not to disturb me for at least a thousand years, or else I shall surely toss him out."
"I will convey this."
When Noah exited the Divine Calamity Forest, the mist behind erupted with crashing roars like mountains collapsing and seas roaring, and the passage that had just allowed Noah to pass through was instantly submerged and vanished.
Not only that, the mist that once allowed some vague outlines to be seen inside became even denser, forming a wall of mist connecting heaven and earth, completely isolating any external scrutiny of its interior.
"Noah, how was it?"
Seeing Noah safely emerge, even if it was only an avatar, Tidel still wore a worried expression, and upon seeing Noah, he immediately greeted him with a joyful smile.
"I'm preparing to ascend to Dragon King!"
Noah started with words akin to a thunderclap, and as father and son were dumbfounded, Noah continued,
"But I need your help."
"How would you like us to assist you?"
"I need you to plunder from other worlds offerings that can make the World Will active."
"Isn't that what we're doing now?"
"Not enough, far from enough."
The Undying Body inherited from the Titan cannot be constructed within the Material World, or rather mere dense energy is far from sufficient, it must be the Power of World Root to forge a body that is comparable to or even surpasses the Undying of Divine beings.
For an Undying Body needs to bear and contain Rule Power, this is also the crucial key to ascending as creator in the future. If even the creator cannot withstand or integrate rules, how can it open the Void?
"Father, I can help you."
Uranos spoke up from the side, his eyes showing intense battle intent.
Promoting Noah to ascend as Dragon King carries countless benefits to the Augustus family without a single detriment, naturally, there is also an unspoken yet mutually understood matter, that once Noah ascends as Dragon King, the founding Family Head of the Augustus family might return.
Should the Founding Head return, the current development that's reached a bottleneck, sustained only through Holy Dragon Order expansion, will lead the Augustus family to a new pinnacle, surpassing all its past glories.
