Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 417 - 256: Please Holy Dragon to Rule for Us_2

Removing the factions controlled by the Witch Demon, such as the Blood Clan, Ghouls, Wraiths, Mummies, Bone Dragons, and various other factions, they have essentially unified, expressing their willingness to submit to the rule of the Demon King.

"Are you considered the Undying King or the Vampire King?"

Reflecting on Wayne’s rise to power in the Undead Kingdom, his greatest turning point was being spotted by a prince of the Blood Clan, and after much contemplation, he ultimately chose to submit to this prince. With his unique personal charm, he gained the full support and endorsement of the Blood Clan prince, smoothly entering the Undead Council and subsequently gaining the support of the entire Blood Clan.

To some extent, Wayne’s rise is even more disgraceful than his sister Parvati’s; it’s practically a saga of battlefield prowess.

After all, Parvati seducing the Elf Queen was not the key to her rise to power. She had already achieved decisive results before that.

Seducing the Queen merely made her final journey smoother, reducing internal elven conflicts and gaining more power.

"These two titles are not conflicting to me!"

Wayne answered calmly.

"Was the policy of retaining the Human Kingdom you proposed earlier a way to repay the Blood Clan’s support for you?"

"They are my foundation within the Undead Kingdom; I need to protect their interests."

Wayne didn’t deny this point,

"That’s also why they support me."

Interest is the strongest bond in maintaining alliances, transcending blood ties, kinship, or even race and nation. The notion of expecting no returns is but a fool’s dream; free is the most expensive.

"You can become the Undying King, but I hope you’ll always remember your identity as a member of the Human Race and never betray your race!"

Noah sternly warned.

When Wayne proposed the Human Kingdom policy, it was during the most rampant time of the Undead Calamity, and this move preserved, rescued, and retained countless lives. Whether his original intent was to gain the Blood Clan’s knowledge or to save more lives, the Golden Dragon only looked at the final results.

"Uncle Ancestor, I believe my demand for pure bloodlines among my descendants sufficiently demonstrates my loyalty to the Human Race."

"Speaking of your children, how are they doing now?"

Noah took the opportunity to ask.

The arrangements Wayne made for his offspring, to some extent, were just like his father’s back then.

They were raised by their mothers separately, and this father of theirs was absent from their childhood memories, tantamount to nonexistence, only providing material conditions free from concern for living costs.

Of course, not too much was provided since these children were too mediocre; the purified human bloodline required a sufficiently large base to give birth to outstanding talents.

"Most of them have married and had children; I now have grandchildren."

Mentioning his offspring and descendants, Wayne’s face showed a smile that seemed insincere, as if forcibly squeezed out.

"Becoming a grandfather, ahead of your elder brother!"

Alexander’s child had long been born, but they were not yet adults, much less ready to marry and have children. Compared to Wayne’s laissez-faire approach to his offspring, Alexander was strict with his only child, keeping them by his side daily for guidance.

"What’s the use of being quick..."

Wayne shook his head, hesitating to speak further.

He was now somewhat regretting his earlier decisions because his offspring and descendants turned out to be too lackluster.

Even with an abundance of cultivation resources at their disposal, the highest achievement among them was just a Radiant Gold level, far from a Legend, with no hope even for Extreme Intent.

This made it hard for him not to have some different thoughts, although he was still young and prosperous, such unremarkable descendants significantly reduced his motivation to strive hard. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"What? Speak if you have something to say."

"It’s nothing!"

In the end, Wayne chose to remain silent.

Having understood Alexander’s rise, he wanted to request a True Blood Inheritance quota from this uncle ancestor, but thought of those unworthy offspring not even qualified to touch True Blood.

"Truly a shy guy."

Noah could guess some of Wayne’s thoughts; this guy, in some respects, was really quite like his father, his manner of doing things was even similar.

After confirming that nothing unusual would happen in the Undead Kingdom for the time being, Noah ended this communication and continued his peaceful Dragon-Fairy life. However, his peaceful days didn’t last long before being stirred again.

Because a minor but noteworthy incident had occurred in Elisium City, possibly being referred to as a laughingstock.

Tens of thousands of Augustus family members from all over the Atlas Kingdom rushed to gather in Elisium City, marching along the main roads, finally kneeling outside Mage City, pleading for the initial family matron of the Augustus family and the Holy Dragon who once raised King Ulnos to advocate for them.

"What’s going on here?"

Seeing the real-time projection on the screen in front of him, Noah asked with great interest.

Among them, at the foot of the grand Mage City, one by one, members of the Augustus family, dressed in luxurious robes exuding nobility, or those who had cultivated an authoritative air from long-term pampering, knelt there, shouting loudly or even crying.

"These people should all be members of the Augustus family, but more than half of them will soon be delisted due to a decree issued by King Ulnos..."

Hearing Noah’s inquiry, Sifreya, the Dragon Fairy, who was already prepared, explained to Noah.

This was a command issued by Ulnos in his capacity as Family Head after discovering the exponential growth in the family’s number of members.

Originally, Ulnos aimed to establish his foundation in the Royal Capital Usser, forcibly relocating the family at great loss, tossing the entire foundational work of the Augustus that had been ongoing for half a century to Noah.

At that time, to secure the family’s trust, Ulnos, in his capacity as Monarch, granted the family members many privileges, which were what the Royal Family was meant to have.

With these rights, the Augustus family, after an initial slump, quickly began to expand and grow. In these few years, a few candidates with potential to break through to become a Legend emerged.

However, with the Augustus family’s influence expanding, the family’s population also surged.

An Augustus member, even if a cultivation wastrel, could, by virtue of being royal, sleep with a hundred women and have hundreds of offspring borne by the family. He could indulge without doing anything.

The offspring of such wastrels could undoubtedly also carry the Augusto family name and misuse the royal status.

Perhaps in the Royal Capital, such royal members were doscoundrellong you, but once they reached the countryside, small nobles dared not offend them, let alone ordinary people.

Such individuals, to the interests and reputation of the Augustus family, were undoubtedly extremely detrimental.

Thus, Ulnos enacted a command for internal family enforcement only.

Any member who did not break through to become a Radiant Gold by the age of thirty would no longer bear the Augustus name; else they would be seen as provocative and disrespectful to the Augustus family.

This command, of course, wasn’t so simple; there were more detailed explanations, but the core was such.

As a result, once the order was issued, the Augustus family erupted, because if carried out strictly, the current Augustus family, with nearly three hundred thousand members, would have fewer than two hundred retaining the surname.

Without the protection of the surname, some who relied merely on borrowed authority would be utterly returned to their true state with dire consequences they dared not contemplate.

Thus, causing all these thousands of Augustus family members to return to the ancestral ground, pleading loudly for justice in this farce.
