The Orotara Continent.In the heart of the Greenfield Kingdom, in a secluded valley surrounded by vines and ancient trees.A Green Dragon lay sleeping in a nest covered with soft moss.Her body was coiled and wound, her emerald-scaled neck resting on her own tail, her chest slowly rising and falling with her breath.The valley was quiet; occasionally, a few forest birds would land on the branches of ancient trees, tilting their heads to observe the massive sleeper before fluttering their wings and flying away.Suddenly, her breathing rhythm changed.The originally long and steady breaths became somewhat hurried, and the rise and fall of her chest became more pronounced.The Green Dragon slowly opened her eyes.The scene before her had completely changed.The quiet valley nest had silently vanished, replaced by a vibrant, colorful wilderness.The sky was orange-pink, like the flesh of a ripe peach; the clouds were pale purple, piled in clusters at the horizon with golden halos lining their edges; the ground was covered in glowing flowers, each the size of a palm, with petals of fluorescent blue, tender pink, and bright yellow.Every color was excessively vivid.It was as if someone had overturned the paint buckets of an entire spring here, splashing them everywhere.Amelia blinked her eyes.She knew that she hadn't truly woken up; instead, she had entered a deeper sleep.This was the sign that Serol had pulled her into a dream, but past dreams were always familiar scenes like forests, valleys, and streams, with tones leaning toward somber dark greens and gray-blues, never as blindingly vivid as today.She turned her massive head and, as expected, saw Serol not far away.The Queen of Green Field maintained her human form, still wearing a light green long dress, the hem trailing among the glowing grass.She sat in the middle of the meadow with her legs crossed, one hand supporting her chin while the other idly toyed with a glowing flower beside her. A smile played on her lips as she looked up at the sky where orange-pink and pale purple intertwined, her eyes somewhat misty."Amelia, you're here."Hearing the movement, she turned her head and beckoned, signaling for the Green Dragon to come over.Amelia stared at her with uncertainty for a few seconds before slowly moving her body to her side and coiling down.She had followed Serol from early on and held a high position in the Greenfield Kingdom, being one of the dragons Serol trusted most.Though not blood relatives, they addressed each other as sisters, and she was the one most frequently pulled into the dreamscape to discuss affairs; many major kingdom matters, disputes with other factions, and territory planning were finalized in these dreams.But this kind of scene was a first for her.If she weren't so intimately familiar with Serol's aura and mental fluctuations, she would almost have thought the smiling woman before her was some monster in disguise.The Green Dragon lowered her voice and said, "Sister, your dream today... is very vibrant."Serol looked up at the orange-pink sky, then at the surrounding glowing grass, and let out a light laugh: "Is it? I think it's quite nice."Amelia asked with surprise in her eyes, "Is Sister in a very good mood?""Very good."Serol withdrew her gaze from the sky, her eyes curving into beautiful arcs, "I saw the Red Emperor."Amelia was stunned for a moment before reacting: "That Red Emperor of Aura? Gallos Ignas?""Yes, that's him.""You saw him... and then?"Amelia was a bit confused.So you saw him; is that enough to be this happy?Although that Red Emperor was famous, her sister had seen many powerful beings and had never reacted to anyone like this.Serol supported her chin again, her eyes gazing at some point in the void, the smile on her lips seemingly frozen on her face."And then, I'm going to pursue him."Amelia's expression froze.She lowered her head and stared at her Queen, wondering if she had misheard."Pursue?""Yes, pursue.""You mean... that kind of pursuit? The kind where a male dragon pursues a female dragon?""Exactly that kind of pursuit."Amelia's mouth opened, closed, and then opened again.She looked up, re-examining the colorful sky, and suddenly understood why this dream was so vibrant.This wasn't a meeting; she was clearly in heat!"Sister," Amelia said cautiously, choosing her words carefully, "those creatures who pursued you—the local dragons of Greenfield, even the elves of Nausir—you never gave any of them a second look. We all thought you...""Thought I what?"Serol turned her head to look at her. "Thought I wasn't interested in such things? Thought I didn't have the desires of an Evil Dragon? I am also a dragon; the intense desires of an Evil Dragon, I have them too.""It's just that those before really weren't worth my time."The Green Dragon fell silent.In her impression, Serol always had a cold face.She was calm and decisive when handling affairs, and cold and cruel when facing provocations.She had seen Serol's ruthlessness as she tore opponents apart on the battlefield, seen her majesty as she looked down upon subordinates from the throne, and seen the depth in her eyes when she was deep in thought.But she had almost never seen her show a smile like today's.It was hard to imagine that the cold, cruel, and humorless Green Dragon Queen would show such an expression.Just how much charm did that Red Emperor of Aura have?Does he have succubus blood?No, even a high-level succubus shouldn't be able to charm her sister.The Green Dragon felt it was somewhat inconceivable.At that moment, Serol stood up, walked to a cluster of glowing flowers, and looked down at the swaying petals.She reached out, her fingertip lightly touching one of them; the flower seemed to tremble as if startled, its light flickering a few times."The Red Emperor... he is different.""His personality, his appearance, his strength, his rationality, his... how should I put it, that kind of presence that a dragon simply cannot ignore.""Amelia, my sister, do you know that feeling?""It's when he stands there, you can't look away, and everything around him fades, leaving only him in focus."She paused, turned around, and looked at Amelia with a serious gaze."I want to bear him a clutch of children."Amelia: "..."She took a deep breath, and then another, her massive dragon body swaying slightly."Sister, if other dragons heard those words... they would probably think you were some kind of impostor.""Do you know how other dragons talk about you in private? They call you the 'Cold Queen,' say your heart is made of stone, and that it's impossible for you to ever fall for any male in this lifetime."Serol turned around.The Green Dragon was coiled on the glowing grass, casting a large shadow, but Serol, standing in that shadow, did not appear small at all.She slightly tilted her head up, gazing at Amelia."Do you think I would care about the opinions of other creatures?"She asked calmly.In this instant, the Queen Amelia was familiar with had returned.That condescending composure, the indifference toward all external noise, and the pride and detachment in her bones.She quickly shook her head, even her tail began to wag: "Of course not. Sister is a Dragon Queen destined to stand at the top of the world; other creatures can only grovel beneath you and obey your will."Serol nodded slightly and turned back to look at the glowing wild flowers."I need you to do something.""Tell me, as long as I can do it."Without turning back, Serol said, "I need a meteorite."Amelia was stunned for a moment: "A meteorite?""Yes, one of those that fell from the sky, carrying the fury curse."The Green Dragon hesitated, her mind working rapidly.As one of Serol's most trusted dragons, she knew the kingdom's situation like the back of her hand and had a clear understanding of the current continental affairs."The areas around those meteorites aren't safe right now."She spoke tentatively, "Almost all the impact sites have been occupied. To get a complete one... we would have to pay a heavy price. And I remember, those things are not good for you.""The curse on the meteorites affects the mind; it's especially harmful to you.""Have you forgotten? We studied a fragment before, and your reaction was stronger than anyone's. That's why we didn't bother to fight for those meteorites back then.""I know.""Then what do you want it for?"Serol gave a slight smile and turned around, her hands behind her back."A gift. A gift for the Red Emperor."Amelia opened her mouth, speechless."I can sense that he has a suspicious nature.""Even though we only had close contact for a short time, I could tell.""He will resist my pursuit, thinking I have an ulterior motive. This is normal; if it were me, I would think the same.""So you plan to send a meteorite to prove your sincerity?""Yes, I've read many love stories written by bards," Serol said. "In those stories, the pursuer always starts by sending gifts—flowers, jewelry, all sorts of precious things—to let the other party feel their sincerity."Amelia was silent for a few seconds before softly reminding her:"Those stories... after all, they are just stories. Reality might be different."She felt that Serol might have been suppressed for too long.For hundreds of years, Serol had looked down on all pursuers, keeping that desire and expectation bottled up. Now that she had met someone she liked, it had all exploded at once, becoming uncontrollable, to the point where she couldn't even maintain her former rationality.Opposite her, Serol waved her hand dismissively."I know, but there has to be a beginning.""Amelia, think about it. If you do nothing, then there will never be a possibility.""But if you do something, at least there's a chance.""The meteorite itself is very precious, and it seems to have some special significance to the Red Emperor. He will like it."Amelia wanted to say more, but seeing Serol's certain look, the words died in her throat."Alright," the Green Dragon sighed, "then I'll go ask around to see where there's still a complete meteorite to be had. But Sister, I have to say in advance, this won't be easy. Those impact sites are all heavily guarded, with powerful beings stationed there.""I know it won't be easy; that's why I need you."Serol stepped forward and reached out to pat Amelia's drooping massive snout. "You are my sister, my most trusted dragon. We have overcome countless difficulties together. I'm at ease leaving this to you."The tip of Amelia's tail curled involuntarily.Being praised like this by the Queen, most of her hesitation vanished."By the way, Sister," she suddenly remembered something, "when you met the Red Emperor, what exactly happened? How did he... make you like this?"Serol thought for a moment and sat back down on the grass, hugging her knees."Nothing particularly special happened.""It's just... when he looked at me once, I felt my heart skip a beat. Later, I thought about it carefully; it might be because... he is too much like me."The Green Dragon was somewhat puzzled: "Like you?""That pride, that self-restraint, that pursuit of power.""I can tell he is suppressing his desires. The desires of an Evil Dragon are so intense, yet he can hold them back. I do the same, so seeing him is like seeing another version of myself."Serol looked up at the pale purple clouds."A stronger, colder, more rational version of myself.""Amelia, do you know what that feels like? It's as if... you always thought you were unique, and then you suddenly discover another similar existence, standing at the same, or even higher level, living in a similar way."The Green Dragon nodded thoughtfully.She seemed to understand a little.If the Red Emperor were a female dragon, her sister's attitude would probably be completely different.Meanwhile, on the Atlan Continent, at the Ryan Highlands.What exactly was on those meteors that fell to the Orotara Continent?Or rather, where did they come from?The Red Iron Dragon raised his head and looked at the night sky dotted with stars.The night sky was clear, without any clouds to block the view. Countless stars were scattered across the deep blue canopy; some were bright, some were dim, some had a faint reddish tint, and some glowed with an eerie blue light.They were embedded there, quietly watching the earth, unchanging through the ages.The starry sky...It often signifies vastness.But besides vastness, there is also a deathly cold silence and unexpected dangers.The act of exploring the starry sky is essentially similar to developing planes; both require taking huge risks. For example, those falling meteorites—they couldn't have appeared here for no reason."The root of the Frenzied Flame is highly likely located within the starry sky."Garros's eyes flickered.Legendary creatures actually possess the basic conditions to travel through the starry sky, but it is only the basics.The starry sky is far too vast and empty.Life-bearing planets are exceptionally rare; most places are deathly silent. Without supplies, even a Legendary life form cannot survive indefinitely in the starry sky.Most importantly, there are potential dangers within the starry sky of the Material Plane.Dangerous celestial bodies, stars that could explode at any moment, cosmic wonders like black holes that swallow everything, and...Wild Gods!"According to Legacy records, many Wild Gods choose to reside within the Material Plane and then hide in the vastness of space to avoid the perception of the gods."Garros thought deeply, and many pieces of Legacy knowledge surfaced in his mind.In the description within the dragon heritage, Wild Gods are a class of existences older than deities. They have existed since the birth of the various planes and worlds, being the most original life forms, fully known as Primordial Wild Gods.They were the first rulers of the multiverse.In the countless years that are hard to trace, with the rise of the deities, an all-out war broke out between the Primordial Wild Gods and the deities, spanning across all worlds. In the end, the war concluded with the victory of the gods.However, very few Wild Gods truly fell.These primitive and ancient existences are very difficult to truly kill.They retreated from the stage of history and no longer ruled the myriad worlds as they did in the past, but they still exist.Moreover, most of them are hidden within the primary Material Plane."The disaster of the Frenzied Flame has affected the entire Orotara Continent.""The Nausir Elven Empire and the Kantum Orc Empire both have immortal existences, yet they are still unable to completely resolve it. To make Immortal feel helpless..."The Red Iron Dragon gazed at the starry sky, his eyes deep and pensive.AI Model: gemini-3.1-flash-liteAlthough he could not be entirely certain, he did indeed have some guesses in his heart.The Material Plane is the center and foundation of many planar worlds.It has a special rule.Here, the existence of immortal life is the limit. If there is to be a rough standard, then it is roughly that the life rank has reached the level of 40, the maximum.No matter what you were originally.Gods, Elemental Lords, Demon Lords, Wild Gods. As long as they enter the Material Plane, they will all be suppressed to this level.The root of this rule is unknown, and the Legacy does not mention it, but it is like an iron law.Countless high and mighty beings of the Divine Rank have to comply and cannot exert influence on the Material Plane as they please.However, there are also gaps between Immortal.Those beings such as Gods and Wild Gods, even if suppressed to the same Rank, can still wield their authority and unleash strange powers far exceeding those of normal Immortal.The same Rank.A normal Immortal and a Wild God who has lived for infinite years are simply not beings of the same level.Considering all of the above, as well as the existing intelligence.Garros already highly suspected that the source of the Frenzied Flame might be a Wild God.It was the Elves' exploration of the starry sky that attracted the attention of the Wild God, to the extent that the entire Planet Bernardo was exposed to its vision.The so-called fury curse might be the Wild God's response to the Elves' exploration behavior."Thinking too much is useless; better to focus on the things right in front of me."Garros shook his head slightly, gathering his wandering thoughts."If the sky falls, the Immortal of other Empires will hold it up first.""The Nausir Elves and the Kantum Orcs both have Immortal; they are more anxious than I am.""If it truly comes to the point of no return, I will evacuate directly to the Feywild, and then use the Feywild as a springboard to find another Material Plane and start over.""If Bernardo cannot be saved, then I will just change to another one."The Red Iron Dragon's eyes flickered; he already had a contingency plan in his heart.For some things that cannot be changed, thinking too much now only adds to the trouble. Instead of worrying about those distant and grand threats, it is better to focus on what can be done right now.Just then, ripples appeared in the air beside Garros.The ripples gradually expanded, and the figure of the Amethyst Dragon Iseramas appeared from within, first his massive head, then his slender neck, and finally his entire body."Just meeting for the first time, and you've already captured the favor and pursuit of a Dragon Queen."The Amethyst Dragon spoke with a chuckle.He flicked his tail, lay down beside Garros, crossed his two front claws, rested his chin on them, and looked prepared to chat."Garros, do you feel proud of this?"Hearing this, Garros glanced at the Amethyst Dragon.He had long discovered that this Gem Dragon usually kept a low profile, was almost silent, and had little presence.But when he discovered something involving certain matters, he would always be unable to help jumping out, as if he had finally found a topic he could talk about."Of course, I am always troubled by my excessive charm."Facing Iseramas's teasing, the Red Iron Dragon remained calm.The Amethyst Dragon's eyes lit up; he was very interested in this topic."If you ask me, you should just agree directly."He shook his head and said solemnly, "The lives of us Dragons are long, but not infinite, and we also need to sleep.""A thousand years may seem long, but it passes in the blink of an eye.""When encountering all kinds of things, one should bravely experience them. In this way, when recalling the past in one's twilight years, one will not have any regrets.""The pursuit of a Dragon Queen? Such an opportunity is rare."Garros nodded slowly."Your words are not without reason."He stared at the Amethyst Dragon and said, "Do you want to personally experience my Dragon Emperors Extra-Dimension? I think this will be a very rare experience, guaranteed to leave you with no regrets."The Amethyst Dragon's expression stiffened slightly.If one were to experience that thing, there would indeed be no regrets left.However, he would also not need to think about his twilight years, since he would just be gone.He flicked his tail, pretended not to hear, looked up at the night sky, and sighed, "The night view tonight is nice, haha, the stars are so bright, and the moon is so round.""You go about your business; I'll go somewhere else to get some air."The Amethyst Dragon flapped his wings, and his body disappeared into the air inch by inch.Garros said nothing and called his kin through the mental link."The Green Dragon Queen from the Orotara continent has come to us."He briefly recounted the events that had occurred, from the meeting to the conversation, from the negotiation to the end, including Serol's final words."When the representatives from the Greenfield Kingdom arrive, send someone to discuss the specific details. Right now, the most important thing is the partition of the Central Continent; other matters can be put on hold.""Okay."The Iron Dragon responded concisely and then continued, "Our negotiations with the other nations have basically reached their end."Garros asked, "What is the result?"The Iron Dragon weighed his words and then spoke slowly, "It was decided according to the originally discussed framework; the nations divided the nearby regions according to their geographical locations.""The East Association got the eastern part of the Central Continent, from the Oron Wetlands to the Cangmang Mountains, accounting for about one-fourth..""The territory of the Southern Region extends northward, including several fertile plains, also about one-fourth.""The Kingdom of Brecton in the west took the western part, from the Sunset Hills to the Qiwa Mountains, also one-fourth.""As for the northern fourth..."The Iron Dragon's voice paused, then he continued, "It belongs to us Romania Nations, it belongs to us Aura."Garros nodded slightly.The four forces, according to their respective geographical locations, divided the four directions of the Central Continent nearby.Fair, simple, and no need for too much squabbling.This is the most hassle-free distribution method and a plan that everyone can accept.No one wants to fight another war just to get a little more territory right now; the Abyssal Rift has just ended, and everyone needs to recuperate."Are the boundaries determined?""Determined.""Using natural landmarks as boundaries, the east is bounded by the main ridge of the Cangmang Mountains, the south by the Kara Grassland, the west by the Sunset Hills, and our side starts from the southern foothills of the Unier Mountains, extending east to the edge of the Seran Plains, and then turning north..."The Iron Dragon briefly described the direction of the boundary lines."Finally, using these boundaries as lines, we will each develop and not infringe upon each other."Non-aggression...Garros looked toward the Central Continent, his eyes narrowing slightly.Sorog asked, "How long do you think peace can last?"Garros did not answer directly but asked in return, "What do you think?"The Iron Dragon pondered for a moment and said, "Having just finished the Abyssal Rift, everyone needs time to recuperate and digest the newly acquired land, but."He paused and did not finish.Garros finished it for him."The contradictions of race and philosophy still exist; peace is only temporary."The Red Iron Dragon said in a deep voice, "If I reach the Crown Rank first, or if a destiny is born in the other three parties, or if there are other major accidents, no matter which one happens, the current situation will be broken immediately."The Iron Dragon was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Yes.""We must never relax; the subsequent development is very important, more important than war.""By the way, there is one more thing. During the negotiation, the Three-Phase Crown of the East Association made a suggestion.""What suggestion?""If another large Abyssal Rift appears, no matter in which territory, the nations should cooperate again and deal with it together. No matter whose territory the rift opens in, the other three parties must send troops to support and fight the demons together."The Red Iron Dragon said unhurriedly, "The other parties all agreed, right."Sorog said, "Yes, no one wants to face the Abyss alone. Everyone still remembers the dangerous situation last time."There are Demon Lords eyeing Atlan; this is intelligence that everyone has basically confirmed.This means that in any large rift, demon legions could appear at any time. If handled even slightly late, a Great Demon will descend.Everyone has already experienced the might of a Great Demon.At present, only Garros can directly wipe out an Abyssal Rift in one blow and beat back a Great Demon, and Garros also needs other Legendaries to buy him time."However, these are just verbal promises."The Iron Dragon added, "We did not sign a specific contract, nor did we stipulate the detailed rules of cooperation. It was just everyone making a statement, and no one proposed signing a contract. Everyone tacitly understands."Garros chuckled softly."This promise is just talk. When that day really comes, it will still depend on each party's interests. If a rift opens at someone else's doorstep versus one's own, can the speed and determination to send troops be the same?""Yes, so we must rely on ourselves."After a while, the conversation between the two came to an end.Garros showed a look of satisfaction.Sure enough, Sorog is the most reliable, focused on serious matters, will not ask about those irrelevant things, reports what should be reported, analyzes what should be analyzed, high efficiency, and little nonsense.But just then, the Iron Dragon showed a curious mental reaction."Garros.""Hmm?""Do you think that Queen of Green Field is sincerely trying to pursue you? Or do you think she is using this method to lower your guard and has other motives?"Garros was silent for a second."Cannot be determined."He said, "Green Dragons have many thoughts; this is a well-known fact.""Serol was able to establish a kingdom in the chaotic Orotara continent; her methods cannot be simple. Instead of playing mind games with her and thinking about whether her words are true or false, it is better to just refuse and save trouble.""I don't have time to deal with these things right now."For Garros, having the time for this entanglement, it would be better to train for a while longer.A Mature Adult Dragon of his age is exactly at the time when physiological desires are strongest and often cannot withstand temptation. Many male dragons at this stage cannot walk away when they see a beautiful female dragon.However, Garros is different.What he likes most is to fight against desire, to hone his own will.The more one wants something, the more one must restrain oneself; the more impulsive the thought, the more one must suppress it.This kind of self-confrontation is in itself a form of training.As for the Green Dragon Serol. Frankly speaking, when in contact with her, Garros was not as calm as still water.He could feel that this Green Dragon was very similar to him.Perhaps for this reason, a strong and peculiar desire for conquest surged in his heart, but it was suppressed by him."Let's not talk about this matter."Garros changed the subject and said, "Sorog, you should bear some pure-blooded dragons to assist you in handling kingdom affairs. Relying solely on mixed-blood descendants makes some things difficult to handle."The Iron Dragon only has mixed-blood descendants.Those are some Dragon-blooded snake people.The upper body is human, the lower body is snake, covered with dragon scales, with the Bloodline characteristics of a Dragon.Because they are the first-generation offspring of a Dragon, the Bloodline concentration is relatively high. Although their talent is not as good as a True Dragon, it exceeds most Dragon-Forged Warriors, and they hold some important positions in the Aura Kingdom.However, dragon-blooded creatures are not True Dragons after all.In the Aura Kingdom, the true Dragonkin are the core, and many responsibilities can only be undertaken by Dragon.However, at present, except for Garros, neither Sorog nor Samantha has Dragon offspring.The former has some special interests and hobbies and is not interested in his own kind.The latter is similar to the Green Dragon Queen, completely looking down on other male dragons, thinking that those male dragons are either too weak, too stupid, or both weak and stupid."Me? Not needed."The Iron Dragon said indifferently, "Your Emperor's sons, as well as other young Dragons who graduated from the Dragon Academy, are enough for me to command."He paused, "Additionally, you should worry about Samantha."The Red Iron Dragon showed a look of surprise."What's wrong with Samantha?"He asked.Sorog's voice sounded a bit subtle, "You know, she has always taken you as a target, moving closer to you in all aspects, and she has never been able to take any interest in other male dragons.""And then?""Then, during this period, I discovered that there are some beautiful females around her."Garros was silent.With Sorog's personality, unless he really discovered something, he would not mention irrelevant things, which meansGarros suddenly discovered that his kin seem to be abnormal in terms of sexual fetishes.Sorog does not like his own Dragon kind, preferring snake people.Samantha is more keen on contacting females and disdains male dragons.Gordon... is a rare pure-love type."By comparison, I am already the most normal."Garros shook his head slightly.However, these are all small matters.Because Dragons have eyes for discovering beauty, it is indeed easy for them to have all kinds of strange fetishes; some like humans, some like Elves, some like Orcs, some like elemental creatures, and some like... all kinds of weird things.And because their Bloodline is powerful, there is no reproductive isolation.As long as they are willing, they can bear offspring with any race.Those offspring can evolve into all kinds of dragon-blooded creatures according to the Bloodline concentration.How many types of dragon-blooded creatures there are in this world is still difficult to fully count. In fact, some Dragons like stones, metals, or like mountains of specific shapes.Thinking of this, Garros felt that the fetishes of his kin didn't seem to be a big deal.At least, what they like are still living things.Forget it, I won't think about it.The Red Iron Dragon withdrew his thoughts, ended his conversation with Sorog, and then focused on himself, on the evolution and training of his digestive and respiratory Systems, and the development of the Qi Burst state. He has quite a few things to do.PS: It's the end of the month; weakly asking for votes.
