Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 172 - 134 Ancestor Dragon God, Resembling the Sun

"This is way too fat!"

Noah, reminding himself repeatedly in his heart, knew that these Ancestors appearing before him were in all likelihood still alive and might react to his words or any irreverent thoughts. However, when the Golden Dragon saw the plump, round Ancestor before him, a thought surged forth just as the apparition was about to disappear.

"?"

The golden-yellow meatball, which was about to vanish, suddenly became clearer, and the majestic dragon head embedded in it gazed at Noah for a long moment, as if trying to remember this slightly disrespectful little dragon.

"I’ve been cursed!"

"This isn’t my true form!"

Two blurry thoughts drifted into Noah’s consciousness just as he was sweating nervously and feeling somewhat uneasy. In the next moment, this colossal golden meatball, as large as a heavenly body, disappeared from Noah’s sight.

"Oh my, it’s really alive!"

Noah couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. Although he had anticipated it, the realization that all the Ancestor Dragons he had just encountered were alive was a great shock.

With the disappearance of this golden celestial body, the space before Noah was empty, and no other Ancestor Dragon appeared for a long time.

"Is that it? Is it over?"

"I’ve already seen several Ancestor Dragons, eight in total; it should be about right."

Just as Noah speculated whether it was about to end, a dragon figure, carrying unmatched majesty, burst into Noah’s view. It coiled above all worlds, its sinuous, elongated dragon body enough to encircle the world.

"Hiss~"

Noah was very sure this was a Dragon God, though he didn’t know which one. But now wasn’t the time to ponder this; the Golden Dragon, preparing to transcend age, focused intently on the other’s figure and posture, wanting to imprint every detail of the other in his memory.

Ultimately, the Golden Dragon’s gaze unwittingly focused on the crown-like dragon horns of the other.

"So cool!"

This was Noah’s most genuine thought at this moment. As this thought emerged, the Dragon God coiled around the world also glanced at Noah, with dragon eyes like great suns, bringing warmth, kindness, and gentleness to Noah’s eyes.

In the next instant, Noah felt the Dragon God image he remembered becoming clearer, not only on the outside but even its internal structures, including viscera, bones, fascia, and blood, everything was completely clear in his mind.

"Thank you, Ancestor, for the gift!"

Noah was overjoyed, sincerely bowing in thanks to this Dragon God. It far surpassed anything he had seen before.

There was no response as the Dragon God’s image gradually dimmed, its existence briefer than any prior Ancestor Dragon, but Noah’s gains surpassed all previous ones.

"So generous!"

Noah lavishly praised this unnamed Dragon God Ancestor in his heart, not caring whether the other could hear, deciding to flatter them regardless.

After offering his praise, Noah began to delve deeply into his thoughts. The Blood Origin Fruit he swallowed would undeniably propel his bloodline closer to that of the Ancestors, possibly even cross that threshold.

But bloodline transformation was just the basic part. What exact form it would take and which path to choose depended on himself; there were no identical Ancestor Dragons.

They all possessed features of modern dragon species but also had their own unique forms, just like the Dragon Wings he himself owned.

This too was one of the characteristics of the Ancestors; the original dragons had diverse forms, with no references, it was an era of free exploration and development.

"Strengthening internal organs, enhancing the muscles and bones of the limbs and Dragon Wings, modifying the structure of Dragon Scales to improve resistance against both elemental and physical attacks, and gaining resistance and immunity to negative energies and curses."

Having seen so many Ancestors, many ideas surged in Noah’s mind. However, everything had to adhere to reality, evolving upwards based on his current dragon body.

Noah wasn’t planning to change his form drastically; apart from the Ancestor who turned into a sphere, most had a dragon-serpent form.

The Ancestors were mostly similar, leaving Noah little to change, focusing on the internal organ systems, bone structures, and making adjustments for evolution.

He wasn’t inclined to change, even if he could, as he had developed Dragon Battle Skills suited to his dragon body; changing it would mean starting over, a hassle he wasn’t willing to endure.

"Oh, Uncle and Aunt prepared so thoroughly; if I were on my own, even with ideas, I couldn’t implement them."

It was only when Noah started trying to evolve, based on the many inspirations generously provided by numerous Ancestors, that he realized how enormous the consumption was.

The dragon body evolving towards the Ancestor direction, spawning more complex structures, required such a tremendous amount of material and energy that a normal adult dragon could never endure it.

This was actually one of the real constraints limiting dragon evolution; the resource consumption was too overwhelming, with ninety-nine percent of dragon species unable to provide resources to support the evolution.

However, this was also one fundamental reason the Dragon Clan loved collecting treasures; dragon transformation was most critical and indispensable, only achievable with wealth or extraordinary magical treasures. Without money attempting transformation, one would only starve themselves to death.
