Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan

Chapter 442 - 70: The Dragon Race’s Situation; The Eight Great Dominators of the Starry Sky

That wasn’t something a mere ordinary deity of Medium Divine Power could trifle with.

Not to mention, elders like Amos and Crimson had undergone generations of Bloodline enhancement to become Giant Dragons with Dragon King Level Bloodlines.

As Divine Tier Dragons—beings at the Divine Level—they logically shouldn’t have been able to remain in the mortal world for long.

However, under the protection of the True Game and enveloped by Dragon Island’s unique Space Law, they were still able to reside in the world for extended periods.

But in order to strengthen and continue accelerating the restoration of Dragon Island, the fifty-one active members of the Dragon Race spent most of their peaceful days in the Star Realm.

They absorbed Star Energy, using a portion for their own growth while continuously pouring the rest into Dragon Island.

Just like now.

Just outside the Star Realm of Karte World, in the region of outer space corresponding to Dragon Island’s location in Karte World’s oceans, these fifty-one Divine Tier Dragons were all arranged in a three-ring formation, endlessly absorbing all forms of Energy from the Star Realm.

They slumbered and grew. As long as they weren’t awakened by the Dragon Race or the Deities of the Star Empire’s Pantheon, they wouldn’t even open their eyes, even if a Starship occasionally cruised by.

The current Star Empire was already sufficiently formidable and powerful.

Even if it encountered a war between civilizations, there was no need for the Dragon Race to intervene.

After all, the status of the Dragon Race was too special. Moreover, the Star Empire now had Kukudar, a formidable Ancient Deity, presiding over the entire civilization.

He even had thirteen direct Ancient Deity subordinates from Barbaric Star under his command.

Therefore, nowadays, the Dragon Race almost never had to intervene in any conflict.

Of course, just because the Divine Tier Dragons didn’t act didn’t mean that the Saint Tier or lower Giant Dragons, Sub-dragons, and Dragon Descendants wouldn’t.

After all, the young ones also needed to be tempered and required resources for their growth.

So, although the Divine Tier and Demigod Tier Giant Dragons hadn’t taken action in over 1,500 years, members of the Dragon Race at Saint Tier and below still participated in wars from time to time.

Where there is war, there will naturally be casualties.

However, the overall casualties for the Dragon Race were not significant. In 1,500 years, fewer than ten young dragons of the Pure-blooded Dragon Clan had met with misfortune.

This was understandable, as the Dragon Race’s status was special. Even for the younger generation, the Star Empire’s military would give them special care and attention, which explained the low casualty rate.

Besides, most of the time, the young dragons who did take part in battles ended up making a fortune, which was hardly an issue.

Furthermore, Dragon Island was not pleased that the younger generation of dragons received special treatment from the Empire.

In fact, Dragon Island had always emphasized that the Empire did not need to give the young dragons special treatment, nor should it interfere with their choices.

But reality was never so simple.

’Just because Dragon Island said not to give them special care, they would just stop?’

’Which dignitary in the Star Empire would truly dare to follow that directive?’ Besides, there were tons of people in the Star Empire who wanted to curry favor with the Dragon Race.

After all, the special status of the Cloud Court Dragon Clan was plain to see.

It was difficult for the Dragon Race to avoid being "Celestial Dragon People."

However, although the Dragon Race’s status in the Star Empire was equivalent to the Celestial Dragon People, they still possessed powerful strength thanks to their formidable natural Physique and spellcasting constitution.

So, it was hard to say whether this situation was good or bad.

’So what if they lack real combat experience!’

Even if a war did break out and the younger dragons had no experience, they wouldn’t be weak, relying solely on their formidable Physiques for close combat.

As for their lack of intellectual growth and social graces, that was even less of an issue.

The reputation of the first-generation Dragon Race on the Oakland Continent said it all.

Even if the current Dragon Race inherited this style, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

Therefore, the fifteen elders of the Dragon Race had now come to accept it, letting the younger dragons interact with the politicians and Deities of the Empire as they pleased. The sky wouldn’t fall.

So, these days on Dragon Island, the Divine Tier Dragons were mostly "idle."

When they were idle, they naturally had only one thing on their minds: slumbering to grow and repairing Dragon Island.

However, today was different.

Although the fifty-one dragons were still slumbering in their three-ring, head-to-tail formation, just as they had for most of the past 1,500 years, soon, within the Karte Star Realm, these fifty-one Divine Tier Dragons abruptly vanished from their planetary orbit without any warning.

The disappearance of the Giant Dragons immediately caught the attention of the satellites orbiting the planet, as well as the cruising Starships.

There was undoubtedly a brief commotion.

But soon, everyone, from within the Star Empire to the Deities in the Pantheon, quieted down.

Because they all knew that the Dragon Race wouldn’t just vanish for no reason.

Furthermore, this method easily brought a certain great being to their minds.

So, in the aftermath, everything remained calm.

However, among the upper echelons of the Star Empire and within the Pantheon, the looks of anticipation and apprehension on their faces revealed their true feelings.

In the Crimson World.

After Lince finished dealing with matters concerning Kukudar and the other Ancient Deities, he also took the opportunity to grant an audience to the Thirteen Blood Ancestors.

Among the Thirteen Blood Ancestors, the First Blood Ancestor had successfully entered the Star God and Dominator Realm two hundred years ago.

As part of the Blood God’s Favored Race that Lince had once devoured, the First Blood Ancestor’s strength upon reaching the Dominator Level was naturally not to be underestimated.

At the very least, their current power was comparable to that of the Mud God—the weakest of the Four Gods of the Barbaric Star Continent, otherwise known as that giant loach.

Therefore, after granting them an audience, Lince offered his praise.
