Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 465 - 280: Casting the Dragon of the Stars_2

These seemingly ordinary young dragons might not know, but the ancient dragons who have already lived past a millennium are well aware that ancestral dragons are not uncommon to them.

The Dragon Clan is few in number, but if you take the myriad planes as a foundation, the quantity is substantial. Even though it might take hundreds or thousands of dragons to produce a talented individual who can walk the path of ancestor return, over endless ages, it accumulates to a notable number.

But true Ancestor Dragons, count them if you can, are limited. Not a single Ancestor Dragon is born due to so-called talent and effort, for this is not the condition for becoming an Ancestor Dragon.

Thus, it is certain that this Ancestor Dragon before us has not spoken the truth, instead misleading and deceiving them. And since they cannot perceive the truth or falsity of its words, it implies that the strength or status of this dragon is above theirs.

However, this is also normal, after all, an ancestor dragon. Of course, there is another possibility: this dragon believes what it says to be true.

In his understanding, he became an Ancestor Dragon through his own efforts and struggle, without relying on any external force. He does not consider himself to be lying.

This is also the limitation of lie detection magic. As long as a creature has good psychological quality or an extremely firm will, and is convinced that what they did is true, even if it didn’t happen in reality, it will be perceived as truth and not a lie.

"Since you relied on your own efforts, do you have any techniques to impart?"

The old dragon with a smooth and shiny head followed Noah’s words and asked with a mischievous smile, his tone full of mockery and jest.

"What techniques are needed for effort? It’s nothing more than restraining desires and forcing oneself to continuously learn and improve."

Noah replied forcefully.

What he said was not exaggerated in the least. Although he was already over 130 years old, as long as he wasn’t in the Deep Sleep Period, he maintained his activities in the manner of a short-lived species while awake.

"Restrain desires? Active learning, this is indeed the correct path to ancestor return."

A few of the old dragons couldn’t help but nod. Dragons who can suppress desires and completely control themselves, doing things that violate the instincts of the Dragon Clan, are indeed one major characteristic of an ancestral dragon.

However, the forms it takes can vary greatly. Some dragons do things completely contrary to their racial instincts, such as a Red Dragon doing good deeds, becoming a Protector, or a good dragon falling and becoming a Dragon of Destruction.

"Speaking of which, isn’t this a magic addiction?"

The ancient dragon with an academic demeanor stroked his chin and suddenly asked.

"I pursue knowledge, but I am not limited to spells; I like any books that can enhance cognition, broaden horizons, and strengthen skills."

Noah corrected, as merely being obsessed with spell research seemed too narrow to him.

"Wow, isn’t that even more terrifying than magic addiction?"

"That’s why one can become an Ancestor Dragon."

"Stop talking nonsense, little ancestor dragon, let’s be serious, which majesty’s favor did you receive?"

Noah could see that these old dragons were very eager to know his background and were curious which immortal being stood behind him.

"I, too, wish I could receive the favor of a Dragon God, but no Dragon God has blessed me."

"No Dragon God, then it must be a Dragon King."

The bald old dragon stared at the third pair of not fully grown dragon horns on Noah’s head and nodded thoughtfully.

"If I must say, I did dream of some extremely powerful Golden Dragons, among which one coiled amongst the stars, but I’m not sure if it’s a Dragon King."

Noah saw that these old dragons were not satisfied and had to reveal the many Golden Dragon Ancestors he saw when he transformed into an Ancestor Dragon.

"Can you tell us in detail?"

The old dragons visibly became excited because this matched their understanding and knowledge of Ancestor Dragons. Where has there ever been a dragon that could transform without immortal aid?

"They were dragons just like me, completely different from the contemporary Golden Dragons..."

Noah described the nine Ancestor Dragons he had seen, which was not a secret he needed to hide, but rather an opportunity to inquire about the origins of these Ancestor Dragons, especially the one entwined with the stars.

These old dragons, having seen a lot, must possess some secret knowledge not found in the Dragon Clan’s heritage.

"Never heard of it!"

"So this is what an Ancestor Dragon is~"

Although Noah accurately described the features of the Ancestor Dragons he had seen, it was clear that most of the dragons were unfamiliar. Only a few showed some contemplation.

However, when Noah described the image of the Dragon King, the expressions of these old dragons, originally frowning in deep thought, became suddenly excited.

"Isn’t this the one?"

Like a young dragon, the bald old dragon excitedly shook a nearby elder, only to have his head smacked hard by the elder, whose seniority was clearly higher.

"You be more stable!"

"This is a Dragon King who had been absent for a long time, who’d have thought it has now manifested again."

"Which Dragon King is this?"

Noah humbly asked for guidance. Initially, he didn’t hold much hope, as the other nine Ancestor Dragons he described were unrecognized. But he was pleasantly surprised in the end.

"The Dragon King who possesses the Power of Creation and once forged the stars!"

An ancient dragon answered Noah, but when Noah asked further, these old dragons, with a look of regret, honestly admitted to Noah that they only knew the name of this ancient Dragon King, and not much about its life events.

Because this Dragon King is exceedingly ancient and hasn’t manifested for a long time, leading many ancient dragons to believe this majesty might have perished.

However, Noah’s existence now is enough proof that not only has this majesty not perished, but it has become even more powerful than before. The fact that the current Dragon Clan cannot see this majesty might be because most of them can no longer catch its eye.

"Star-Forging Dragon King?"

Noah nodded thoughtfully. Although he only knew its name and some trivial deeds, it was a preliminary understanding of this Dragon King.

Judging by the reaction of these ancient dragons, even among Dragon Kings, the status of this Star-Forging Dragon King is extraordinary. Gaining the attention of this Dragon King is a fortunate event for both him and the Dragon Clan.

It was at this point that the ancient dragons stopped pestering Noah and instead began to have heated discussions about the nine Ancestor Dragons Noah had just described, pulling out various books, attempting to find traces of these Ancestor Dragons in ancient texts.

"How much savings do you have now?"

Noah looked at the group of old dragons who turned Agnes’ maternity chamber into a grand library, and then at the mother dragon whose expression seemed somewhat unusual, quietly asking.

"I offered no compensation, just informed them of my pregnancy, and they all came."

Agnes explained softly.

"Sorry!"

Noah gazed at Agnes for a while until the mother dragon’s expression turned uneasy, before he replied quietly.

"What?"

Agnes wondered if she misheard.

"As your partner, failing to give you sufficient security during your pregnancy is indeed my negligence, overlooking your feelings."

Noah could understand Agnes’ approach, even in the wilderness, less intelligent beasts would clear away all dangers to the best of their ability during pregnancy,

"I will arrange for the Dragon Guards to guard your palace, but you’ll need to move to another residence for now."

Noah looked at the growingly lively and warm atmosphere among the ancient dragons and turned again to the stunned mother dragon.
