Inside the Eternal Hall.
Garon gathered the ancient dragons with a creature level above thirty.
As the Dragon Court grew in strength, the number of members in the Ancient Council also increased. If it weren't for the spatial magic inside the Eternal Hall, it would have been impossible to accommodate all members of the Ancient Council at the same time.
Seated at the chief position, Garon's gaze swept across the ancient dragons with profound auras.
These powerful ancient dragons are the true backbone of the dragon race.
Ancient-stage dragons, compared to ordinary, newly matured true dragons, are almost not of the same species.
Among them, Garon saw a few familiar figures, ancient dragons that were present during the last assembly of the Ancient Council. Back then, they were among the top echelons of strength in the Dragon Court, but now, they no longer counted as the strongest among the many ancient dragons.
The Iron Dragon King was also present in the Dragon Court.
After the expansion of the Dragon Court, the Iron Dragon King still ranked as the first tier, just below Garon.
However, besides the Iron Dragon King, there was now another presence in the Dragon Court whose aura was no weaker than his.
Garon's gaze lingered on this giant dragon.
On the other side, noticing Garon's attention, this true dragon, with a creature level as high as thirty-eight and not far from demi-god status, looked towards Garon and slightly bowed its head before saying, "Your Highness, the Sun Dragon Karlo pays its respects to you and is sincerely joyful for your safe return."
This ancient dragon, around six thousand years old, is a female.
Moreover, she belongs to an extremely rare dragon species, the Space Dragons.
Sun Dragon, Moon Dragon, Star Dragon, Radiant Dragon. In the entire Dragon Court semi-plane, Garon only saw Karlo, the Sun Dragon, belonging to the Space Dragons.
Sun Dragons are a type of true dragon that lives on the surface of the sun, and their eggs can only hatch under the nourishment of solar fire, naturally possessing extremely terrifying resistance to fire and fire-based attack capabilities.
Interestingly, among the sizes of ancient dragons, the Sun Dragon, nearing demi-god creature level, turns out to be the smallest.
How small?
Karlo wasn't even as big as Garon's eyeball!
She looked like a pure white, delicate young dragon, the size of a house cat, with smooth scales like a mirror, a big head like a young dragon, a short neck, and little thick legs.
Against the backdrop of ancient dragons, Karlo appeared adorably endearing.
Because Sun Dragons are also very rare, records of dragon inheritance are not extensive.
Garon was unclear about the reason for Karlo's current size.
Seeing Garon's surprise, Karlo smiled slightly, her youthful face revealing a mature expression, and slowly said, "Our Sun Dragons reach their largest size at the old dragon stage, then gradually shrink, becoming young dragon-sized in the ancient stage. When we naturally die, our bodies collapse into a singularity of obliteration."
A young dragon's size is also several meters long.
Karlo, resembling a house cat, is because, as an ancient dragon, she is over six thousand years old, not a typical ancient Sun Dragon.
Accustomed to the large sizes of ancient dragons, the diminutive Sun Dragon Karlo stands out among the ancient dragons, and her strength is unique.
Garon nodded slightly to Karlo, saying, "Sun Dragons are rare. I am pleased to welcome you as a member of the Dragon Court."
Under the Dragon Throne, alongside the Iron Dragon King Garulgoxinso and the ancient Sun Dragon Karlo, for a long time, will be Garon's left and right hand.
These two are the only top-tier powers in the Dragon Court, aside from Garon.
Being an ancient dragon is already a rare existence among dragons.
And those ancient dragons who have lived for five to six thousand years are even rarer, nearing the status of demi-gods.
If they can advance further, they would become new Dragon Gods.
In fact, Garon, strictly speaking, could also be considered a Dragon God, as a demi-god is also a deity, surpassing countless creatures and standing at the pinnacle of the multiverse.
Garon looked at the Iron Dragon King of dark iron color and the dainty Sun Dragon, deciding to nurture them well. Perhaps in the future, the dragon race could have two more Dragon Gods.
"If you encounter demi-god level enemies in the prime material world you are responsible for, or those close to demi-god status and difficult to deal with, remember to report to me immediately."
"After I deal with the elves on the Carra planet, I will personally take action to reduce them to dust."
In the war with the elves, the true dragon's followers were fodder and expendable, while mature true dragons were the most numerous soldiers in the war. As for the legendary giant dragons of the Dragon Court, they were indispensable pillars, especially the ancient dragons, who were key to the outcome of the war.
Hearing Garon's calm and confident words, the ancient dragons looked at him with awe.
This newly emerged Time Dragon, who ascended to demi-god status in a short time, possessing a might unimaginable even to these ancient dragons, spoke with such full confidence, offering reassurance.
"Um, I've currently encountered a troublesome opponent," said the Sun Dragon Karlo.
Garon looked at her.
Karlo carefully chose her words, "The battlefield I'm on is located on a prime material world called the Er planet, revolving around my birthplace, a sun, very close by."
"Among the native elves of the Er planet, there is a high-ranking Illusionary Elf who has fought me many times, but we have yet to determine a victor."
"If I can kill it, I can quickly crush the elf army of the Er planet."
Illusionary Elves. Garon's gaze narrowed, becoming sharp.
This war had many causes, and the Illusionary Elves on the Carra planet, pretending to be dragons to stir up trouble, were one of them, inevitably responsible.
"Alright, I understand."
"Give me the spatial coordinates of this world, and I'll personally make a trip there later."
This is the advantage of having top-tier powers like Garon in the prime material world. With both the Dragon God and the Elf Gods tied up and unable to stop him, he can personally decapitate the high-ranking powers within the elf race one by one.
And the rest can be left to the dragon race's high-ranking powers.
After Karlo's lead, more ancient dragons described the situations in their battle zones.
The situation learned from Nehemiah was somewhat one-sided. Now, through the descriptions of a group of ancient dragons, Garon gained a better understanding of the war.
As the dragon race had united considerably at this time, in most prime material worlds, the dragon race held the advantage.
If there were no unexpected twists, even if Garon had not returned, as time went on, the elf kingdom would gradually fall into decline and be defeated by the dragon race.
Now with Garon's addition to the battle, this process can be accelerated significantly, and many unexpected situations can be avoided.
"I've brought some equipment."
"It can help you perform better on your respective battlefields."
Garon
took out a large number of equipment, nearly a hundred pieces.
Most of this equipment was crafted by Ornn, using the primitive and powerful materials of the Valoran continent. Even the least among them was equivalent to high-quality legendary equipment, with many comparable to demi-god artifacts.
Ornn crafted many pieces of equipment, and driven by a craftsman's spirit, he poured his heart and soul into each piece.
And Ornn had given Garon quite a few of his many years of accumulated equipment.
Instead of keeping them as collectibles, it was better to use them in the current war.
And these high-quality pieces of equipment could only maximize their effect if used by the ancient dragons.
Watching the giant dragons whose breathing became somewhat heavier, Garon said seriously, "These pieces of equipment are only lent to you."
The legendary giant dragons showed a look of disappointment, but right after Garon finished speaking, he added, "However, if there are members who perform excellently in the war, these pieces of equipment will be given as rewards."
Dragons love treasures.
High-quality equipment is also highly coveted by true dragons.
Even as ancient dragons, they want to acquire high-quality equipment, holding it while sleeping is also excellent.
Afterward, one by one, the ancient dragons received the equipment distributed by Garon and excitedly tried them on.
"Thank you, Dragon Lord, for your trust. Your glory is our glory."
In this widespread war, even ancient dragons could not guarantee their own safety. The equipment provided by Garon might save their lives when necessary or directly reverse the battle situation, turning defeat into victory.
The Ancient Council rarely convened.
After distributing the equipment, the ancient dragons did not immediately leave but exchanged information about their battle zones, requesting support from other ancient dragons, or, because the enemy was weaker, offered to assist in other battle zones.
Garon, seated high on the Dragon Throne, quietly watched the ancient dragons conversing in the Dragon Language.
He saw the ancient red dragon voluntarily proposing to join forces with the ancient gold dragon. He even saw the ancient black dragon and the ancient silver dragon, who had recently become mates, as well as the ancient cobalt dragon and the ancient bronze dragon next to it, discussing the battle situation.
Such a rare harmonious scene could only be forged in the crucible of war, through blood and fire.
It could be said that in the entire history of the dragon race, they have never been as united as they are now.
During the Dragonfall Wars, when the dragon race was still the ruler of the multiverse, they were arrogant and haughty, believing in their invincibility and not considering defeat. Thus, even as they battled their enemies, they also engaged in internal strife.
Afterward, many dragons even blamed the failure of the war on the hindrance of other dragon species.
Thus, the contradictions within the dragon race were never resolved.
But this time, after tens of thousands of years, in a full-scale war against the elves, who were also a dominant force, the situation was different.
Although the dragon race held the advantage in the war, it was a slight advantage. As countless elves were reduced to ashes, numerous true dragons also closed their eyes forever, with no complete corpses to be buried in the Dragon Tomb.
Moreover, the true dragons, having fallen from their thrones of rulers, no longer possessed their original arrogance.
Thus, to survive in the meat grinder of war, the dragon race was forced to unite.
"This is probably what the Dragon Gods wanted to see," Garon thought quietly, his expression calm.
As long as they do not suffer too great a loss in the war, after the war ends, the dragon race, now much more united and with reduced infighting, will quickly recover its strength and grow to even greater heights.
It's worth noting that the dragon race has the Dragon Inheritance.
It's precisely because of the records of Dragon Inheritance from generation to generation that prejudices and hostilities between different dragon species are innate. But the true dragons who survive this war and later give birth to offspring, as long as they include this experience of unity in the Dragon Inheritance, there's a high probability of reversing the hostile situation among the next generation of true dragons.
The river of time quietly flows on.
Because the war continues and the prime material worlds cannot do without high-ranking powers like ancient dragons, after a while, the Ancient Council ended, and a group of ancient dragons left the Eternal Hall, returning to their battle zones.
Garon went to the dragon nest deep inside the Eternal Hall.
In the splendid dragon nest, covered in gems and precious metals, Yuna buried herself under a treasure lake, having consumed many demi-god cores, and fell into hibernation.
Garon could feel tons of energy gathering, converging, and flowing into Yuna's body.
This invisible energy formed an unseen cocoon, enveloping Yuna's body.
"I was probably like this during my hibernation," Garon thought.
"I wonder if Yuna can leap to demi-god status in one go after awakening."
Without disturbing Yuna's hibernation, Garon soon left the Dragon Court semi-plane.
When he reappeared, he had already returned to Yuna's temporary dragon nest on the Carra planet.
After resting for a while, replenishing his magic and time power, Garon left the dragon nest, his majestic body standing under the dim sky, atop a peak, his silver dragon scales shining brightly.
Garon could smell traces of elf scent.
It was a mixture of plants and flowers, like dew, not unpleasant to him.
However, this scent that was spreading and becoming increasingly dense meant that the elf kingdom's army had not left but was gradually increasing.
"If you don't run, then stay."
The silver giant dragon's expression was indifferent as he gazed towards the south.
On the Carra planet at this moment, there was no existence capable of resisting his claws and teeth.
The elf forests that had encroached upon the dragon world were time to be erased from the land of the dragon race. The high elves' realm of illusions could not protect them.
Garon looked up at the sky.
It was night.
The pitch-black night sky, like a curtain drenched in ink, enveloped the heavens.
Then, with a flap of his wings, Garon spread a surging dragon might from his center, swiftly sweeping across all the true dragons on this mountain range.
Soon.
The flapping of dragon wings and the deep breathing of dragons gradually gathered.
Garon quietly waited.
After a while, around the peak where Garon stood, true dragons ranging from young to ancient, along with a large number of their kin, gathered.
The rich dragon scent almost solidified.
Crimson, golden, deep purple, azure... pairs of different dragon eyes lit up in the night, captivating.
Before Garon spoke, not a single dragon uttered a word, silently, with eyes like blazing flames, looking up at the splendid giant dragon under the night sky.
The atmosphere was filled with a killing intent due to the silent true dragons.
