Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 497 - 277: Oops, I Really Got a Dragon ID Card_2

Chapter 497: Chapter 277: Oops, I Really Got a Dragon ID Card_2

After all, with the life intensity of dragons, the resources they require would only increase.

And now, including those old ones already in the Dragon Tomb who can’t move and are waiting to die, the number of pure-blood dragons is approximately 100,000.

Of course, if we’re talking about beings with dragon bloodline, who knows how many times that number would multiply.

So when Sean and Fafnir returned to the Dragon Empire, they were not really met with any difficulties.

Back then, the Bronze Dragon was so furious largely due to the foolish things the Sapphire Dragon King did at the time.

Of course, this wasn’t something unusual among the Sapphire Dragon Race back then.

The Dragon King of that generation was highly skilled in alchemy related to life.

He was even considered to be among the top technicians in the entire continent’s history.

Compared to the Metallic Dragons and Chromatic Dragons, the Gem Dragons were indeed comprehensively behind.

Be it the number of clans or the number of battle-ready dragons, they were far less.

Due to some unknown reason, though the whole Gem Dragon Race didn’t stop reproducing, the probability of laying dragon eggs remained far less compared to the other two major races.

Back then, the Old Dragon King wanted to restore the glory of the Sapphire Dragon Race by collecting the corresponding bloodline factors of various dragons.

This was categorically refused by the Metallic Dragons and Chromatic Dragons.

Dragons value their bloodline far more than other races, unwilling to let their blood flow to non-native dragons.

This created a strange phenomenon where, on the one hand, the pure-blooded dragons in the Dragon Empire didn’t really value the young men and women of their own race.

But on the other hand, due to the regulations of dragons, many of them were reluctant to find non-native dragons as partners.

——Unless the other party was truly exceptional.

Sean admitted that the Old Dragon King was a very thoughtful person.

At the time, he indeed agreed with the Old Dragon King’s concept, wanting to uplift the entire Sapphire Dragons by collecting bloodline factors from the same race.

But he never imagined that what began as the Dragon King’s mere desire to increase the number of newborns in the Sapphire Dragon family would gradually turn into an obsession during his research.

He wanted to summarize the traits possessed by various dragon species, allowing the next destined ruler in the Sapphire Dragon family to emerge.

This entity would possess the powers that all bloodline dragons should have and an unfathomable potential for growth.

As long as such an existence could be born, even if the birth rate of the Sapphire Dragons remained low, it would become their symbol of authority and a hope for the same race.

——Let’s not talk about anything else, regardless of whether the destined ruler born is male or female, wouldn’t such a king, renowned throughout the dragon race, be enough to stir the hearts of the opposite sex in the Sapphire Dragon Race?

If moved, then act upon it!

The Old Dragon King had already planned it out. Back then, he grandly told Sean that he would take advantage of his old privileges and let the new Dragon King find several excellent partners from the same race.

Perhaps after a thousand or so years, the overall quality of the newborn Sapphire Dragons could significantly increase by several levels.

Not to mention, this plan indeed seemed to have a chance of realization back then.

But no one expected that in order to make the experiment succeed, the Old Dragon King genuinely went mad.

If we split the Metallic Dragons and Chromatic Dragons, the Chromatic Dragons evidently were more playful and adventurous compared to the Metallic Dragons.

Obtaining their bloodline factors, though challenging, was not impossible with preemptive planning.

It’s a different story with the Metallic Dragons. They are representatives of order, with a more solemn demeanor overall.

And among them, the most solemn, the paragons of virtue and moral standards among the entire human race, are the Bronze Dragon Race.

With their old-fashioned personalities, they absolutely would not agree to the Old Dragon King’s plan.

In fact, once they found out, they would proactively act to maintain balance and order.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the Old Dragon King’s anger grew and eventually his idea turned into an obsession, then stubbornness.

The infamous attack on the Bronze Dragon King emerged from this.

Recalling the past, Sean also felt somewhat melancholy.

Who could have imagined that his superior would turn out this way?

Meanwhile, Fafnir looked at Louis and said:

"This time we returned home with the Old Dragon King’s remains and met with the new generation of the Bronze Dragon King, where we discovered something."

Louis curiously asked:

"What do you mean, I thought you just came to help me."

Fafnir emphasized: "Helping you is the main thing, but we also wanted to convey the intentions from the Dragon Empire."

"The new Dragon King possesses abundant spiritual ability, and he sensed a twisted spiritual ability in the Old Dragon King’s body."

"That spiritual ability resembles the power of Jianqi from the legendary four Chaos Gods."

"You must have heard the tales of Jianqi quite a bit."

Louis fell silent.

Jianqi, the most changeable and cunning evil god among the four Chaos Gods.

Some say Jianqi originates from hope, symbolizing wisdom, but His wisdom has long been twisted by the evil chaos.

Now, Jianqi’s hope stems from the infinite despair and survival attempts of victims in desperate situations, and wisdom comes from endless schemes and conspiracies.

Everything is extinguished on His chessboard, and He has always been the most fond of using knowledge to tempt people’s hearts among the four Abyssal Gods.

Upon hearing the new Bronze Dragon King’s judgment, he sensed something was amiss.

If the Sapphire Dragon King’s madness back then had a close relation to Jianqi, the hidden manipulation behind this is hard to say.

It’s known that according to the original world line, Sean and Fafnir initiated the Dragon Disaster to retrieve the Old Dragon King’s bones.

And the reason for retrieving the bones then was because underneath the Dragonbone Plain, someone was using the "New Book of the Dead" to create a Wave of the Living Dead.

The "New Book of the Dead" was the Mad King’s work, later seized by the Rudelson Organization.

However, there was an empire information that had not been uncovered, and that is that the maddened Master Rogen had imprisoned and killed the Rudelson Organization’s people in a barrier back then.

Even if someone managed to take the "New Book of the Dead" away, the ritual site beneath the Dragonbone Prairie was absolutely not something a few individuals could arrange.

It’s clear that there was a group that got their hands on this demonic tome and conducted the ritual specifically.

——And the more it progressed, the more the empire suspected those weren’t Rudelson Organization’s people.

Moreover, tracing back further, the origin of the "New Book of the Dead" was indeed the result of a collaboration guided by Se and Jianqi.

He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

Long ago, he had heard that this evil god Jianqi, after setting up one conspiracy, would continuously use a conspiracy as a node, to spread out countless branches of schemes.

The Sapphire Dragon King’s issue wasn’t necessarily because Jianqi was so powerful that he could easily manipulate the Old Dragon King, ultimately affecting Ense Empire years later.

More likely... this evil god’s schemes were simply too numerous.

As long as enough plots were made, theoretically, there would always be one that could help him achieve his goal.

Not to mention there were followers who would assist Jianqi and steer the plots in the direction He desired.

Seeing that Louis understood her implication, Fafnir smiled and said:

"Now the Dragon Empire is quite frustrated, the previous generation Bronze Dragon King always suspected there was something fishy about this, and now he posits that Jianqi polluted the former Sapphire Dragon King with warped knowledge."

"Our King was the kind of existence difficult to refuse the knowledge of biological alchemy."

"It’s plausible that just showing the polluted knowledge to Jianqi would make the King, despite sensing danger, try to understand and learn it."

"Based on this, the Dragon Empire expressed understanding to the Sapphire Dragon Race and is willing to restore the reputation of the entire group."

She touched a ring and took out a credential from the Space Ring, handing it to Louis.

"Here, the identity card of a pure-blood dragon. From now on, you are a member of the Sapphire Dragon Race, dear Mayer, no, Prince Louis."

Louis nodded and said:

"Please, both of you, do not let out news about my true identity to the public."

Sean snorted a puff of black smoke and said:

"Our lips are sealed."

But while saying that, he muttered:

"What exactly did the King do, implanting the traits of succubus and then human traits, what’s this multi-racial impart... and the most important thing is not even telling me!"
