Under the Red Dragon

“I will go back and prepare. I will definitely find a perfect timeline without death and avoid future dangers. If I find that method, I hope to gain your friendship and help, Your Grace, the mighty King, Caron Hogmora, a king of wisdom and courage! ”

Time Dragon Deniris said with a solemn expression.

“I need your help to reverse the future.”

Although Time Dragons initially grasp time-related abilities from birth, time travel is never a simple matter.

Throughout the flow of years and the changes of the world, Time Dragons live by breathing and absorbing time, almost as a part of time itself.

The time control ability awakened by adult Time Dragons is enough for these unique dragons to manipulate the connection to the stream of time, allowing them to freely enter and exit the stream of time.

Reaching beyond the legendary level upon adulthood allows a Time Dragon to become like a material manifestation of time itself.

But even Time Dragons need to prepare before time travel and expend a huge amount of energy.

Only Time Dragons at the level of Great Wyrms can build a complex and intricate unique link with the stream of time, allowing these powerful dragons to move freely back and forth in the stream of time.

That is to say, an Ancient Time Dragon can travel from the present point in time to the past and possible futures, exploring the different futures determined by each choice.

Although even an Ancient Time Dragon cannot arbitrarily change the established past, it does not prevent these Time Dragons from using their unique abilities to obtain some extra benefits and avoid future dangers.

Caron didn't know what preparations Deniris would make or what price she would pay to travel in the stream of time at her current juvenile stage, but Caron still gave this currently friendly Time Dragon some advice.

“The perfect timeline does not exist. For me, the formula for reversing time is to cherish the present,” the ancient red dragon raised its massive head, looked directly at Deniris’s pupils, which were like the hands of a clock starting to turn, and chuckled softly.

It was as if a pair of eyes in the void opened in the dark, pinning down the temporal echo of the Time Dragon Deniris. The turning hands in Deniris's pupils were frozen by an indescribable, vast will.

The will of the entire Golden Empire, with a population of 4.5 million, the power of the empire descended in an instant. The will of the Dragon Emperor of the Empire overlooked all living beings in the domain of power, grasping the supreme authority.

Thus, the flow of time power was also bound before these eyes, which resembled the eyes of a red dragon. That was the belief and spiritual will of the ancient red dragon Caron Hogmora, negating the ability of the Time Dragon Deniris.

It cannot be said to be negation, because the ability of the Time Dragon itself truly exists. Or rather, in front of the ancient red dragon Caron Hogmora, the Time Dragon Deniris must rely on her own will to break through the influence from the ancient red dragon before she can exercise her time authority, the ability to manipulate time with her will.

This is also the reason why the ancient red dragon does not regard the Time Dragon as an opponent, but as a target to be hunted.

Caron Hogmora cannot defeat an Ancient Time Dragon, but an Ancient Time Dragon, as long as it does not exist in its current form, can never descend in front of an ancient red dragon.

The spirit influences matter, and matter contains space-time, because in the eyes of the ancient red dragon at 'this moment,' space-time exists as a unity.

Thus, within the domain of the Golden Empire, all rules must obey the will and standards of the ancient red dragon.

It is like in legends, a powerful giant god believed that time in the world was a river of time, so time appeared in the eyes of this ancient giant god as a long river with a beginning and an end but with a source.

A feeling of powerlessness and insignificance arose in the heart of this Time Dragon.

The spirit of a dragon is so powerful. The dragon's might of each dragon comes not only from the innate ability of the bloodline, but also from the powerful soul and spiritual will of each dragon.

The more powerful the spirit, the more powerful the dragon's might will be. This is an unquestionable conclusion among dragons.

But when the ancient red dragon was no longer playing house with the Ice Giant King Ragna Hegg and had a serious idea, the ability it displayed shocked this Time Dragon, who had seen countless creatures.

Deniris even had a strong premonition that the will of the ancient red dragon on the empire's domain was just to hide the deepest things of this red dragon.

Because the power of the empire must also submit to the supreme power of this ancient red dragon.

Deniris stopped her movements and said astringently: “Your Grace, why are you stopping me? Our interests should be the same!”

The suppression from the spirit dissipated in an instant, as if it had never happened.

But the ancient red dragon's huge body had turned into a shadow in the eyes of the Time Dragon Deniris, a shadow that could not describe its great power.

Caron stretched out his dragon claw and waved gently at the Time Dragon in front of him, “Come here, Deniris, no need to be so serious!”

The ancient red dragon's rash action was no longer a provocative act in the eyes of the Time Dragon, even if the other party's greeting posture was an insult in the eyes of the proud dragon.

As a Time Dragon, they never communicate with living things in the mortal world. Their targets are mostly powerful existences such as immortals and demigods.

In the inheritance of these Time Dragons, there is also a more specific understanding of the gods.

For those gods who hold up their kingdoms in the Astral Plane, in those gods' kingdoms, the gods can rely on their will to arbitrarily modify the laws, including the characteristics of any substance and the way material laws operate, suppressing any enemies that do not belong to their kingdoms.

Even a god with great divine power would not easily set foot in the kingdom of a god with weak divine power, so as to avoid being suppressed and defeated by the master of the kingdom and seizing his divinity.

Even in the Astral Plane, these gods, without the blessing of the kingdoms they created, can easily change the material form of their bodies, use the rules mastered by their divine duties, and run the power of rules to stand in an invincible position.

Only when they come to the material world plane do those gods need to abide by the rules of the material plane. Even if divine power is a power close to miraculous power, its performance in the material world is only power and wonder, and it is not as omnipotent as the power in the kingdom of God.

And the performance of the ancient red dragon just now, in the eyes of the Time Dragon Deniris, is already close to the characteristics of those true gods.

This is such a terrifying truth that the Time Dragon Deniris had an extremely bad premonition about her future death, and a layer of haze shrouded Deniris's heart.

So the Time Dragon Deniris swam its huge body, hovering in front of the ancient red dragon, its four claws stepping on the stagnant stream of time, and substantial time-space waves emerged under the body of this dragon.

Time Dragons are super-giant dragon species from the time they are hatchlings, but when facing the body of the ancient red dragon at close range, a kind of instinctive physical pressure came from the red dragon.

The Time Dragon could not help but raise its head slightly to be able to see the ancient red dragon's level gaze.

A gentle smile appeared in Caron Hogmora's pupils. Although ordinary creatures cannot easily distinguish the expressions of dragons, the seriousness of the Time Dragon was easily melted by this male dragon.

The scent of the male dragon came, causing the Time Dragon Deniris to shake slightly, and her eyes involuntarily drifted towards the huge eight dragon horns on the ancient red dragon's head, which were majestic and full of power.

“What beautiful dragon horns,” Deniris couldn't help but think, “It's a pity, maybe I'm just an unsightly dragon in his eyes.”

The words of the World Tree Ouwo seemed to have some influence on this Time Dragon.

But in the next moment, a bone-chilling coldness came from the spine behind her.

The appearance and posture of the ancient red dragon were certainly the first and only one among the dragons Deniris had seen, but it would not easily let the Time Dragon be fascinated by its charm.

“How powerful is his spiritual will that he can easily disintegrate my spiritual instinctive defense and resistance, and make me feel instinctive goodwill?”

Thinking of this, the Time Dragon Deniris couldn't help but grin slightly, her huge wings were like cloud wings, her forelimbs were slightly lowered, like a vigilant big cat, and her body began to step back.

“Don't be afraid, Deniris,” the ancient red dragon stepped forward, and its huge dragon claw covered the head of the Time Dragon, who was grinning, stroking this unique dragon like stroking a cat.

The spiritual infection and gentle movements from the ancient red dragon caused the vigilance in the eyes of this huge Time Dragon to begin to disappear, but it still resisted the movements of the ancient red dragon, slightly shifting its head.

Caron smiled gently: “Deniris, although you may not think that you are the same as other dragons, belonging to a dragon race, in my eyes, whether you are a Time Dragon or other dragons, you belong to a member of the dragon race.”

Deniris's resistance began to disappear in the voice of the ancient red dragon. She tilted her head slightly, looked at the red dragon's pupils, and listened to the red dragon's words.

“I once established the 'Dragon Code'. That is my promise to all dragons. As we all know, the promise given by Hogmora never fails.”

Caron said softly: “You want me to help you, yes, that is my original intention, to protect all dragon races that can be united.”

“But I am not simply to stop you, but to give you some advice.”

“Although I don't want you to travel through time in this Dragon Tomb, the origin of the hatchlings, this may expose the coordinates of this world when you travel through time.”

The Time Dragon Deniris nodded. Although she relies on her unique talent and ability to travel through time.

But the world never lacks existences as powerful as Time Dragons. Some creatures can even obtain the same abilities as Time Dragons with their own wisdom. Once such existences accumulate enough power, they are not necessarily weaker than Time Dragons after they grow up.

Some particularly powerful legends have their own unique laws of destiny, so they are not afraid of the challenge of Time Dragons.

Because in these legends, the word powerful not only means pure power.

“Your Grace Hogmora, I am listening to your advice. A dragon as wise as you will surely inspire me.” Deniris said softly. The neutral voice, coupled with the intonation of the dragon language, made it impossible to distinguish the gender of this dragon.

Caron had no intention of exploring this, because few creatures could impress this red dragon with their appearance.

“Those who play with time will inevitably be retaliated by time. Deniris, although you Time Dragons are unique enough, never think about changing the established facts of the past. The distorted time will descend on you with a terrifying consequence that you can't imagine.”

Caron said softly: “I will not stop you from exploring other pasts and futures, because I know the nature of living beings. Even if I stop you, you will definitely go to the stream of time.”

“No living being can believe that their fate is controlled by others, and neither am I.”

“But you will definitely not meet me in other pasts and futures, or rather, the me you meet is not me. Such a future has no reference value for you.”

The Time Dragon Deniris's starlight-like pupils suddenly dilated, and an incredible idea was born in her mind. Even the tone of Deniris's voice fluctuated a little.

“Does Your Grace mean? You have already absorbed all the dragon echoes about you in the multiverse like an Ancient Dragon and become the truly unique dragon in the material world?”

Caron retracted his dragon claws, shook his huge head slightly, and said in a deep voice: “Not so, Deniris. You and most dragons have not understood the meaning of the blood of the Ancestor.”

“I would like to hear the details!” Deniris looked at the red dragon's pupils. In the inheritance of these Time Dragons, there is no concept of the first Ancestor.

“The first Ancestor Dragon King was a great demigod existence roaming the universe in the Astral Plane. Each Ancestor Dragon that grows to its peak will become a powerful demigod comparable to a god. Each Ancestor Dragon is a unique creature.”

Caron said lightly: “The other dragons do not understand the blood of the Ancestor, but the blood of the Ancestor is also a kind of knowledge that can be analyzed and deconstructed in my eyes.”

“So according to the rules and principles, each Ancestor Dragon born in the material world has begun to move towards a unique path from the beginning of its birth. After growing to its peak, it will have abilities as powerful as gods.”

“In the process of the Ancestor Dragon's growth, it spontaneously absorbs the echoes from the multiverse. After reaching the peak, it no longer needs to take extra steps like ordinary dragons.”

“This is the real root of the Ancestor Dragon's transcendence of all other dragons. The uniqueness of the Ancestor Dragon is not only reflected in its ability, but also in its appearance and posture.”

“Those Ancient Dragons are just ordinary dragons in front of the blood of the Ancestor that has grown to its peak.”

A kind of wisdom-based exclamation arose in the mind of the Time Dragon Deniris. She couldn't help but ask: “Then did Your Grace spontaneously absorb the echoes from the multiverse by deconstructing the mysteries of these bloodlines?”

The ancient red dragon denied the Time Dragon's words again. He shook his head and said: “Not so. My situation is special. It's hard for you to understand even if I tell you. You only need to know that the dragon similar to me that you encounter in your time journey is not me enough!”
