Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 922 508: Rise of the Philosophers, Gold Deities

"Who else is there?"
"Of course, it's Solophis."
"How do you know it's him?"
"How many could there be who would give you such advice? It's obvious it's him."
"But his daughter is my partner."
Noah never understood how his father-in-law could put forward such a proposition without considering his daughter at all.
"That's why. If he doesn't mind, then his daughter probably won't mind either. What are you hesitating about?"
"No, it's different."
"Think about the benefits of having a partner with Strong Divine Power. Although you are the Dragon King, you can't always stay in your prime.
If you can find a goddess with Strong Divine Power as a partner, then when you fall into decline or your condition is poor one day, you have a god to protect you."
"I need to think about it!"
"What's there to think about? You're already the Dragon King. Once you make a decision, execute it immediately, don't delay!"
"That's just chaotic! Besides, I don't even have a chance to contact this goddess, as the Lady of Night has always been by her side."
"That's true. Remember to avoid her during the pursuit, or else she will definitely threaten you. Although I would say, don't take those threats seriously, her identity is different."
"..."
Noah profoundly recognized at this moment how outrageous Odin's unreliable suggestion was. He wasn't even fully confident himself but dared to advise him.
As an ancient Divine with origins, Odin did know the history of that goddess, but only just knew, because until now, no one dared to say they truly understood the Lady of Night.
It is precisely because this goddess is unpredictable and her thoughts are inscrutable that other gods both respect and fear her.
"Leaving."
"Where are you going?"
"Going back."
"Then leave your army behind!"
"Are you joking with me? Leave them so you can use them as cannon fodder?"
"How could it be? Your Dragon-man Battle Group is one of the finest even in the Material Realm."
Having witnessed and experienced countless wars, Odin also highly praised the Dragon-man Army that Noah built.
"I won't leave them, and as for the army, don't even think about commanding them, but I will send my offspring over."
"Offspring? Iliad?"
"Yes, is that not okay?"
"Of course, it's fine. He's a very good kid."
Thus, Dragon King Noah and Odin God, who returned to the Divine Throne, reached another agreement. After assisting the other in repelling a Strong Divine Power's attack and invasion, the Dragon King withdrew, but sent his offspring and several battle groups under his command.
"Odin!"
Noah had no doubt that despite recovering part of his past power, Odin would eventually return to where he once existed in history.
After re-forming into a Divine King, Odin surely aimed to rebuild the god system. However, the gods who once followed him were long gone, and perhaps a god survived by luck and successfully reincarnated, but after such a long era, everything had changed.
Therefore, Odin can only seek to recruit new-born divines to rebuild the god system, and Iliad, his son-in-law, is an excellent choice.
Thus, Noah sent Iliad, not just as reinforcements, but also hoping his eldest son could gain many advantages by following Odin, after all, as a Divine King with profound heritage, what's the harm in letting his eldest son benefit a bit?
"Perhaps I could also send Terramus."
After arranging Iliad, Noah thought of his second son, who demanded equal treatment to his elder brother at the time.
Sending an Ascender preparing for Divine Enthronement to a divine's command for plane wars is hard to say if it's a boon or a chore.
But Noah planned to arrange it smoothly. After becoming the Dragon King, he chose to honor his promise, assisting Odin in Ascension with this in mind.
Ultimately, he gave up on the path to godhood, unfamiliar with the ways of divinity, while his children were about to embark on that road; they needed a strong enough elder to lead and protect them as they grew.
Although Odin has now provoked a lot of Divine Power, once he becomes a Strong Divine Power, all pressure will dissipate. By then, it's a great time for his offspring to achieve Divine Enthronement.
As for the hostility and pressure from certain divines after the Divine Enthronement, isn't it natural for Odin, as the elder, to help withstand it?
After asking Terramus, Noah's second son expressed willingness to go to the battlefield where divines contend, like his brother, to fight for his brother's father-in-law.
This son, who plots to become the Lord of Death and God of Machinery, has ambitions and desires far greater than his brother's. No need for a cost-benefit analysis, merely a mention and he'll take the initiative.
"Once my children achieve Divine Enthronement, it's time to settle accounts!"
After arranging everything in an orderly manner, Noah turned his sight toward the northwest of his Void territory. He had not forgotten that upon his awakening, he learned that a big snake had impersonated him, flaunting about in certain colonial worlds.
Though this big snake became more restrained after his awakening, it still roamed some worlds, acting in the name of Holy Dragon Noah.
Noah couldn't tolerate such a presence reaping his rewards. However, when he went searching personally, the big snake had already fled without a trace.
That fellow played hide and seek with Noah, resorting to guerilla tactics, leaving Noah quite annoyed. But against an epic snake intent on roaming, Noah really had no effective means.
Moreover, the Sacrificial Snake had already cryptically indicated that this impersonating Sun Snake was not easy to deal with, not a simple being, even if Noah caught it, it would probably be hard to capture the opponent.
Thus, Noah kept preparing, for now his foundation was shallow, unable to suppress an equal existence. But as the saying goes, father and son on the battlefield.
Once he grooms his offspring, the situation will surely change, and the chances of catching this snake greatly increase.
After catching it, a justified group fight can unfold. In the void where True Gods are carefree, Noah doesn't think this big snake will have any tricks left.
As for inviting others besides his offspring to help deal with the Sun Snake, of course that's possible, but the meaning is ultimately different because his offspring grew up under the Order he established, representing the majesty of the Golden Order.
According to a hypothesis by Odin, when Noah is dethroned or temporarily unable to respond to the secular world, his offspring will stand in his place, maintaining and expanding the Golden Order.
Therefore, Noah doesn't intend to invite any help against the audacious snake impersonating him in the name of the Holy Dragon. At most, he would take his offspring.
Once a fight ensues, it has to be fast, accurate, and fierce, swiftly suppressing any filthy creatures daring to provoke, solidifying the prestige of the Golden Order, making any would-be provocateurs or opportunists weigh their choices.
The tempo of Noah's offspring achieving Divine Enthronement largely depends on their current guide, Odin. As a Divine King who has returned to the Divine Position, Odin's external nature is far more fierce than what Noah perceives.
With Noah covering him against a Strong Divine Power, and the Blood Origin War God no longer intervening, Odin's pressure reduced greatly.
With the assistance of Noah's offspring, verifying the military talent of these two dragon sons, Odin simply handed over all the secular battlefields to Noah's sons, concentrating his energies for multiple grand battles against many divines suppressing him, eventually taking the initiative to attack in the void.
In less than a decade, Odin broke through the Divine Countries of five Divines, seizing divine positions and statuses related to him, and by the fifteenth year, Odin ascended once more, becoming Strong Divine Power again.
